CA'R/PENTIER Sccrcf.j/Y of St.'ltV Before your car derelopa a pronounced case of "spring fever," It would be a good idea to give It its spring tonic in the way of a complete checkup. Winder conditions, even during a mild winter, are hard on a car and can <;ause small defects to become aggravated to the point where they are real dangers. With weather conditions improving steadily, you will probably be using your car more and will be driving at higher rates of speed than you would risk in winter. Don't take tbe chance of getting involved in a collision because of some mechanical failure in your car. There are enough other dangers on the road, Be sure the braking and steering mechanisms are in good condition, that the points and plugs are up to par so the motor won't stall at a crucial moment, that the tires haven't worn so much a blowout might occur, and that such other equipment as lights and windshield wiper are in good! working order. With worries about those things off your mind, you can do a better job of. „ concentrating^.on ^traffic.

Since hearing. loss usually develops very' gradually without pain, with no frunrtning of the ears in moat instances, 4 person ^ finds it hard to believe that his ears are going bad and is inclined to Mame the change! iii 'hearing on something or someone else, .the educational committee of the Illinois Staite Medical society observes in a health talk. Actually the ear is made up of three parts -- first the external ear, called the attricJe and external auditory canal that leads from the auricle into the skull and at 'the end of whigh is 'the drum membrane known as the tympanic membrane. ^Beftind the tympanic membrane is tthe second' part of the ear, called the middle ear or tympanic'cavity, which is air-containing, enabling the the eardrum to mOve back and forth with vibrations of sounds. This part is connected to the outside' world by means of the eustachian tube wtyich runs from the middle ear to back of the nose. The niiddJe ear contains three ear bonescabled the malleus or hammer, the incus or anvil and 'the stapes or stirrup. Attached to each other in that order they allow sound vibrations to carry from the outside air from the eardrum through the middle ear and into the inner ear. The roof of the middle ear is the bony floor of tihe brain which is a very thin wall, about a tenth of an Inch thick. .The third part, or the inner ear, is encased in some of the handiest bone in the human body called the otic capsule and series to protect the very dedicate nerve endings and fluids located Within it. The stapes or the stirrup fits into a small opening in1 this bohy capsule which fcousas not only the nerve endings for hiearing, but also contains specialized structures which control; balance. These structures are called the semicircular canals. As the sound vibrations are conducted through the' drum membrane and ear bones the stirrup moves back and forth lit the opening cai^d the oval window. Thus ttte s6Urtd' fixftn outside of us is carried along intb the highly specialised nerve endings and translated into the Sounds we hear every day. Hearing loss stems from many causes. Hearing loss also appears in many forms, any one of which may result from infections, disease or injury, individually or collectively. Many types- of hearing loss can be remedied by medication. Others, require surgical attention. Some persons may not benefit by any medical or surgical procedure, but instead may be helped with other procedures which might include the use of a hearing aid. The proper decision as to which kind of 'treatment is to be utilized depends solely on an accurate and positive diagnosis. Many .people, think they can be aided by vitamins, operations on the nose or tonsils or ear, but 'this is not usually the case, people should not be misled by wild-eyed advertising' or high pressure salesmanship. It must be reftiembered that a hearing aid does not restore normal hearing. Rather it helps the person to hear in the same way that an artificial leg helps a person to walk, but at the same time does not restore normal walking. A person should not "shop" for a hearing aid. The .process of getting a (hearing aid shouldi not be separated from the process of diagnosis and treatment. It should be considered part of good treatment of certain kinds of hearing loss. Hearing loss should not be hidden. It should be discovered and treated.. For every person some improvement is possible, if only to allay •his fears and if only to learn how to make the best use of the hearing he has left. FARMERS II you have something to Buy. Sell or Trade ADVERTISE in the PLAINDEALER I a « «» L--- By Marie Schaettgeo The McHenry county meeting of the American Legion auxiliary was held at McHenry on Friday. The county president, Gertrude St oil, of Algonquin, as well as the president-elect, Helen Corey, of Woodstock were attendants. The next first vice-president will be Katherine Visin of Crystal Lake. Christine Krinn was elected chaplain for the county for next year. Mr. Weiftih, county poppy chairman, gave an interesting talk on the poppy. The talk embraced several phases of this important Legion and auxiliary activity. Mr. Weith touched on the history &nd the purpose of Poppy Day. He explained othe fact that the money derived from poppy sales does so much for the disabled veterans and their families. Christine Krinn is county ,poppy chairman for the auxiliary and she would like the members to get behind this drive wholeheartedly. The poppy, which the veterans and auxiliary members will sell on Poppy Day, will be fashioned of red crepe paper, with stems of wire. They are accurate reproductions of the European wild poppy which bloomed "between the crosses, row on row," on the World War I battle cemeteries. Want Ads bring results.
