No one Jifcws, but everyone realizes that f#;H one of the most unsightly llMB ^wmditlona if widely spread ',Wl4 Ml causing excessive mental JtetiMBtart in the mind of the sufferer* the educational committee of tile Illinois State Medical society <advl8es in a HEALTH TALK. The word psoriasis has a Greek derivation and means a scaly, ttekr eruption. Although all patents with psoriasis do not complain of itchiness, the pattern of development seems to . be the same. The eruption begins as small red spots which subsequently are topped with finewhite scales. These may take any shape, either round or irregular much In the manner that a drop erf ink would take if squirted from a pen. The spots may increase in else, become more scaly, tending to link with other spots until large area* of the sltf n are' affected. Sites of the body affected C^ifefly are the scalp, (external surfaces of the arms and legs, knees, olr bows, small of the back and the buttocks. Psoriasis is not contagious, appears frequently in persons who enjoy good health, but is inconsistent in that it develops often in the inadequately nourished person as well as the overfed, obese individual. r Frequently in psoriasis the nails are involved long before the skin is affected, becoming thick, discolored, rigid and brittle and taking on the appearance of a fungous infection. Plenty of soap and water are advantageous, but the scales should be, removed gently with a soft brush. Because of the danger of infection great care should be taken in removing the scaly layers associated with psoriasis. Once removed bleeding pin-point areas are exposed which are easily susceptible to bacteria. Because of the varying and inconsistent characteristics of psoriasis, it is important that the physician watch the condition carefully. Different treatment is used in the acute stage of the disease than in the chronic. Neglect and improper self-medication op the part of the patient may cause permanent disfigurement and scarring. It is interesting that some patients develop a tolerance to certain treatments which call for a change. .These should be undti - West Point Incident Provok#dh-~ Thought On Moral Disintegration The decent West point incident was followed by a newspaper editorial which met with such demand that re-prints were made to be sent to those desiring copies. The article was also re-printed in a number of other papers. One of these was sent to the Plaindealer by a local resident, along with the hope that it might appear in print and set local readers to thinking, which we think it will, regardless of their political beliefs. Neither the McHenry. contributor nor the, city in which it appeared are known. The Globe-Democrat of Monday carried an editorial on "Low Estate of Moral Decay", it, of course was instigated by the.-hr* ing of ninety cadets from West P o in t Military Academy for "cheating" in examinations. , But the West point incident iS only one facet, of the many sided problem Of moral disintegration in America. America is going down the same road decay which caused the Roman Empire to fall and this is a .sphering- thought, " Some of these West Point cadets cheated because- they Could not.: keep up football and keep up with; honest their grades; others could not pass the examinations without cheating. Getting down to fundamentals, what happened at West Point tohappening all over our nation in high places and low, and merely reflects the present distorted attitude toward old-fashioned honesty and integrity, that pertains not only to the schools of America. but social and political life. The New Deal era brought the idea that the administration could perpetuate itself in power by buying votes. The Globe says llarry Hopkins tapped the WPA to win an election in Kentucky.

McHenry. -• 8tf The mating of depression and p o l i t i c a l t r i c k e r y b r o u g h t t h e child of insidious thought that real work is silly, and if one does work, to do the least possible, get the highest wage possible and then strike for more. The West .Pointers grew to manhood in the environment of "Take it where 1 find it" and they are a part of the fruit of mistakes of the past two decades. Viewing Washington today we see corruption and scandals, constant probing without result, influence peddlers, and the Kefauver investigation, revealing a link between the underworld and pollthat patronage is bought and sold like goods over the counter; we, hear of some one .close to the throne accepting gifts for contracts of various kinds, others on the pay roll for no apparent reason than influence, and deep freezes presented gratis for political preferment. The W,est Pointers strayed of course, but therfe Is the excuse, "Everybody does it," and it is thrown in the basket with the break of every convention, morality. chastity, decency and the general flout of old-fashioned integrity which is now passe, and "silly". • t The Globe thinks this Should mean sober thought;-Where is the fault, perhaps in the home, the school and the church? liut in thp main the fault lies in the nebulous field of public morals and spirituality, which was so highly cultivated by those founding fathers, but now so scantily tilled. The idea that anything is fair if you are not caught, gyp the other fellow before he gyps you, that the world owes you a living, that an honest day's work for pay is unethical, has brought public morals to a new low. even politics is being played at a historic low, says the Globe. The Globe contends the time is here for moral regeneration. West Point is just a speck in the sad chronology. Rome fell not because it was overwhelmed from without, but because it was decayed within. The Globe says "if this is an appeal for a return to day-by-day practice of "bid time religion, and respect for God's moral law, so be it. When tmR moral fabric of a nation begins to unravel, some patching must be done before the garment is gone." v„yJ ' .

A patient's mental stability is very important in the care of psoriasis. While it is responsible for much cosmetic- self-consciousness, the patient must be taught to understand that much can be done to conceal the blemishes, once the scales have been properly removed, provided the ingredients of the covering ^application are harmless. Even though psoriasis constitutes about 5 per cent of all skin diseases, making it a common skin affliction, and even though the cause and cqre yet remain unknown, much can be done to alleviate the condition and to keep it from progressing. he tics.
