LOW BACK PAIN Dr. Barton. for many years cases for low back pain and sciatica have been Jput in two passes (a) those due to infection--t/eth, tonsils, gums, gall bladder and other organs and (b) those due to injury--lifting r a heavy object, a misstep, swinging at \ an objcct (often a i golf ball) and miss- j ing it, a fall, braking ' a car and other ac-, J cidents. The injury 1 usually causes -astrain or sprain of the ligaments and <jther structures sur- J rounding the joint 'between the last bone of the spine • and the hip bone/ " This is called sacro-iliac sprain. J During the past three or four years i we are learning that many of these J teases called sacro-iliac sprain ar<f:[ really cases where the li'itle cushions'! ,or disks between the Bones of the* . spine ha$e been brpken through or i ruptured by the samfe type of acci- . dent which causes the sacro-iliac sprain. It is only after the usual treatment--manipulation Under an anesthetic and use of a brace--has failed to give relief that ruptured disk is suspected. Each spine bone is called a vertebra and the disk 1 or cushion between them is an in- j tervertebral disk. Dr. W. E. Dandy in Annals of Sur- j gery, Philadelphia, points out that rupture of the intervertebral disk ! accounts for an overwhelming per- | centage of the heretofore incurable 1 and untreatable low back pains and sciaticas, miscalled sacro - iliac| 6trains and arthritis of the spine. Formerly iodized oil was inject-I ,ed into the spin;.l canal, but this does j not always show the rupture even when present. Then as it was found ' that practically al! (96 per cent) of j ruptured disks were situated between the last and second to last spine bone j in lower back, the iodized oil meth- : od is not absolutely necessary, particularly because it is known that a "concealed" disk occurs in 25 per cent of cases. Dr. Dandy has been ! able to make the diagnosis of ruptured disk 63 times just by examina- ! tion without use of iodized oil. Cases of ruptured intervertebral j, disks are now successfully treated | by operation. However,-there is the oiner side of this matter; that is that many patients and some physicians also, : may now make the mistake of think ing that most cases of low back pain and sciatica are due to ruptur^dj disks. As a matter of fact, sacro-*! iliac strain occurs more often than . does ruptured disk and manipula- ! tion, rest and use of a brace bring j about a cure. , . • Watch for Early 1 ! Diabetes Symptoms There has tome to me a copy of the Diabetic Digest, published Quarterly by the Philadelphia Metabolic society. This magazine has spread information among physicians so that physicians would be on the lookout for early and unrecognized cases of diabetes. Thus the level of treatment of this disease has been raised in Philadelphia ahd vicinity. The facts about diabetes in Philadelphia that have been forwarded to physicians might well be studied by everybody because diabetes strikes many homes. Some of the information is not pleasant; "other information brought out by the study is most encouraging to diabetics and to doctors." 1. Two and five-tenths persons per day die and have diabetes mentioned in their death certificate. 2. One person dies in diabetic acidosis (coma) .almost every other day. . 3. Almost twice as many persons died of diabetic acidosis (coma) ps died with infections of various natures without acidosis. 4. One-half of the persons dying with diabetes did not know of their disease until their last illness. 5. More persons died with diabetes of causes other than diabetes (but having diabetes) than died of diabetes alone. It is the hope of the committee that other county societies throughout the state and the nation will take up this work and that diabetic individuals will lead longer, more useful and happier lives because of these efforts Just how much can be accomplished by the new knowledge of the treatment of diabetes by diet and insulin is shown by the fact that in 1910 average age at death of the' diabetic was about 44 years ami. In 1936 it was 58 years. ROGUE'S GALLERY Wlven Hitler was in Denmark some time* ago he planned to visittheir police headquarters. , A tactful Nazi official sent the police, in advance, six different photographs of Adolf, hoping they would be displayed for the Fuehrer's visit. •When the Fuehrer arrived, however, none were on view, so the Nazi official tool^ the police chief aside and asked: "Did you get those six photographs I sent you?" » The police chief pondered a minute, then replied: "Why, yes, I remember. And you'll be glad to know we've caught five of the crooks already!.". ' '* EXPERIENCED HUNfgB Guide--What would you do if you met a bear? Hunter--Climb a tree. Guide--But bears can climb trees.

First War Food Agency , Earned $60,000,000 Profit A study of the United States food administration in World War I shows that this war agency, estab^ lished to aid orderly marketing of grain and flour earned a profit of $60,000,000 and employed about 11,- 000 persons to carry out .its task. Principal, key positions were filled by volunteer workers and at the height of its activities on July 15, 1918, only four persons were carried on the payroll of the food administration at a salary in excess of $5,000 annually. The food administration itself, exclusive of the various boards, had only 1,338 paid employees in Washington and 1,583 in thfi field. The average Washington salary was $1,274, while field salaries averaged only $988.56. Total expenditures of the food administration amounted to $7,862,669,- 000 which included the cost of the temporary buildings erected . to house its activities. Of that amount, only $3,793,000 was paid out for salaries to both permanent and temporary employees. The total volume of purchases of all supplies made by the food administration during its existence aggregated more than If,250,000,000. . 'Government Units Plan Postwar Reconstruction • j State and local governmental units •are in position to move swiftly in preparing to meet postwar reconstruction and development problems as a result of planning legislation adopted 1 by most of the 44, state legislatures meeting this year. Review of this legislation indicates the great impetus the war has given efforts of public officials to determine what future problems are in : store for them and to lay plans for I solving the problems. j The legislation set up new state planning commissions or revitalized existing agencies, and charged them with the task of preparing for the future; appropriations were granted in many instances to help the commissions carry out their work. Local ! governments were given authority to ' set up postwar reserve funds, draw ! up master plans for long-term projects, operate agencics for special projects, and co-operate with other ' communities in joint planning enterprises. . - Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Utah created new postwar planning boards to take over duties and ex- .pand study of future problems forl^ merly done by< stale planning Coin* -emissions.

K - Need Protection ' * Young fruit trees, particularly apfiles and pears, need a wire screen protection about the trunk to prevent rabbits from chewing the bark. The trunks may be wrapped in heavy building paper, or in old magazines, if wire is not available. ! A Shovelful of cinders about the base of each tree helps to prevent damage by mice, particularly if the trees have been mulched. . Vitamin C Citrus fruits and their jiiicei-- grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes, kumquats, targerines, ahd tomatoes --are dependable sources of vitamin C, even when canned, provided the correct methods are used. Fresh strawberries, red currants, black currants, gooseberries, raspberries and cantaloupe are also good sources. . • • Read the Want Ads Al'CTION OF Household Goods El) VOGEJ,, Auctioneer ,. _ On account of the death of my , Charles Tomka and Frank Tomka for husband, I will sell at public auction, I Class "B"' Bottle Beer License.

Recent farm surveys show that a majority of the people who own their own farms are ready, the minute war ends, to buil4 and repair barns and buildings and make many, other improvements. Tenants, too, are on the lookout for farms of their own to build on in the postwar period. This is going to take many millions of dollars. Wise farmers have been saving the money for these purposes. Many of them have saved it in War Bonds--and many more are on their way. HOW TO GET READY.#You probably have many places on the farm to put money when materials and machinery and equipment are again available --if you have the money! So why not start right now? Step up your savings by buying War Bonds-- the best and safest way to invest for future needs; WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME. Your youngster in service is doing a man's job now--and he expects to do a man's job when he gets home again. But he won't be happy with run-down buildings and inefficient equipment. So that's another good reason for stepping up your purchase of War Bonds. You're backing him up in his fight to preserve our country, and at the same time preparing for the kind at thome he wants to come back to. ' YOU NEVER GET LESS THAN YOU LEND! And *ou can get more thin you invest. When held 10 years, Series E War Bonds yield 2 9% interest compounded semi-annually. You get back $4 for every |3. Of course, no one should cash s Bond Unless he has to; but if an emergenqr comes •Jong, Unde Sam will redeem them in cash-- at full purchase price--any time after you're held them 60 days.
