Grain prices were Irregular. But they gave Indications of at

Penicillin Sans
Pain Developed
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 UP)
A new type of one-shot-st-day
penicillin with a built-in pain
Killer has been developed.
Up to now, penicillin injections
often have been either numerous
or painful.
The new type is called "pro
caine penicillin." It's made by
combining penicillin with pro
caine, a chemical widely used as
an anesthetic.
The procaine, besides killing
the pain, also helps the penicil
lin to be taken up slowly by the
blood. The compound Is mixed
with cottonseed oil, which fur
ther helps in the slow-down
process.
The common type of penicillin
preparation Is simply dissolved
in water. Injections with this
type normally are painless ex
cept for the initial needle prick.
But they must be repeated every
two to four hours because the
drug, In water solution, is ab
sorbed quickly by the blood, and
therefore leaves the body rapidly.

the order affected four-fifths of

He said that the association's
legislative committee has at
tempted to "put teeth in the spot

hunt at night with use of spot
lights "kill stock all to often."

Congress may have to start
