GRANT TO FARMERS The state Department of Agriculture has applied to the federal government for an adddtional grant of $400,000 to be used in payirig for dairy cattle which are killed because they are infected with brucellosis. The 68th General Assembly enacted legislation requiring that after July 1, 1955, dairy herds must be free from brucellosis as a qualification for the production of grade A milk. Dr. Asa Winter of the animal disease branch of the federal Department of Agriculture has assured Illinois that funds would be made available and that the program would be implemented in every possible way, Director Stanard said. It Pays To Advertise SOLVING SIMPLE DISEASES < > By Science Features i _ f-ZDont think that,doctors overlook common ailments just because they nave not yet been able to cure the «old.. Medical science is concerned With simple, annoying diseases as well as the deadly kind. For example, one very prevalent but notdangerous disease called pinworm ifthere are about 210 million cases throughout the world) can now be cured by new drugs and diligence*, .The most universal of all human parasites, these little white worms primarily affect children, causing a constant itching that disturbs sleep and may also interfere with the youngsters' eating. } In a recent report from Buffalo, N. Y., three t - - doctors declared they found the antibiotic terramycin was "the most effective drug" for treating pinworm patients. A disinfectant, gentian violet, was also highly successful, they Mid, but often "cannot be swallowed by many children." Of 40 eases, 84 percent were cured with terramycin--a drug prepared in raspberry-flavored liquid for children. > Because the pinworm's eggs are [Well protected in a three-layer shell, it is difficult to destroy them. Furthermore, they can easily spread to other members of the family by contaminating household furniture, toys, clothing and even the air. The utmost personal vigj. lance is therefore necessary to help drugs destroy the pinworm and cure the infection. Thorough washing of the bodyevery day, especially hands and nails before meals, careful soaking and sterilizing of bed linen and clothing plus the scrubbing of toilet seatd and personal articles are a few of the measures doctors say should be taken. lit MOW l& cAUNMj!

Suprerrte Court. In a test of the state statute which barred use of Illinois highways to consistent offenders, the highest authority of the land told that state it was interfering with inter-state commerce. The regulation and control of inter-state commerce, it has been well established, is an absolute power of the federal government. As a paj-t of its combination licensing and weighing program, the State had endeavored to deny the use of Illinois highways to those truckers who regularly and consistently carried loads over the legal limit or not distributed properly within the truck. "You can fine them," the Supreme Court said, in essence, "but you can't keep them off the highways." > SCIENCE SERVICE The ever-present power of God which brings courage, joy and healing to men of all ages, wherever it is understood, will be emphasized at Christian Science services Sunday, Dec. 26, at the Dean street church.
