Plantar Warlt
Hundreds of people ask me
what to do for a plantar wart
which is painful to walk on,
and some
times hard to
get rid of. As
Dr. Edgar D.
Grady, of At-
-.r.. lania, ua.,
SrA says in the
Journal CP
(May, 1982)
there are a
number of
s a t i ffactory
methods of removing a plan
tar wart. One objection to
some of them is that, for a
while afterward, the patient
has to keep off the foot.
While Dr. Grady was on duty
in the Navy, he developed a
method of removing a plan
tar wart which Is not very
disabling.
The affected area is thor
oughly scrubbed with hexa
chlorophene, and then t h e
overlying dead tissue is trim
med off with heavy scissors.
Then the tissue under and
around the wart is numbed
with a local anesthetic. Then
a high-speed, motor driven
steel burr such as is ob
tainable in a hardware store
is used to grind out the
wart. With the help of a mag
nifying - glass to examine the
area being ground, the phy
sician can remove the last
remnants of the wart with
only very little of the healthy
tissue.
After the wart is removed,
a pressure dressing Is placed
on the operative site and the
feet are elevated for 20 min
utes t o minimize bleeding.
The next day the dressing is
removed, and then, with a
soft padded dressing on the
foot, the patient can walk
with fair comfort. The only
persons not always suitable
for this treatment are dia
betics. Superfluous Hair
Hundreds of women keep
writing to ask what is the
best wav to get rid of super
fluous hair on the face, the
thighs and the breasts. As
Dr. Howard T. Bchrman said
recently the only msthod for
getting completely rid of the
hair is by an electrical des
truction of the tiny "papilla
in which the hair grows and
develops. Today this is done
with a fine needle which the
operator tries to insert ex
actly in the papilla. He or she
then turns on a diathermy or
high-frequency type of cur
rent which coagulates and
destroys the papilla. If the
papilla is destroyed, that is
the end of the hair. But, un
fortunately, when even a n
expert technician does the
work, from 15 to 25 per cent
of the hairs are likely to
grow back, and then they
will have to be treated again.
Naturally, the treatments
take time and may cost more
than the woman can afford
Many women with supcrflu
ous hair shave every day, or
they use "wax dcpilation," or
chemical depilatory creams.
These methods do not destroy
the hair papilla and hence
the hair grows o u t again.
Shaving docs not make the
hair more coarse and more
obvious.
Hemophilia
According lo Dr. William
S. Beck, writing in the Jour
nal of the AMA, in cases of
hemophilia the clotting time
of the blood may be greatly
prolonged, but in mild cases
it can be normal. Congenital
hemophilia can be associated
with a deficiency of any one
of several clotting factors.
In most cases, the one lack
ing is "anti-hemophilic glob
ulin" (AUG). The patients

For Less Food Nov
Than in Past Year
Washington - 'VPU - People
arc eating a little less food
per capita in 1962 than they
did in 1961, but are paying
more for it, according to the
Agriculture Department.
- In a review of the national
food situation, the department
said food consumption per
capita for 1962 as a whole
now is indicated lo be frac
tionally below 1961.
Sharper Than Usual
During the firpt half of
1962, retail food prices in
creased slightly and in June
were almost 1 per cent high
er than a year earlier. Price
increases were sharper than
usual for fresh fruits and veg
etables, and there were mod
erate increases in prices of
cereal and some other food
products. ' Higher prices for
these foods were partly off
set by seasonal declines in re
tail prices of some major
livestock items,
The department said that
although retail food prices
may decline from mid-year
levels, they are expected to
average about the same as
during the I art half of 1961.
The department said net
production in the last half of
1962 will be up slightly from
the first half and may be
about the same as a year
earlier. Retail prices arc ex
pected to average as high as
or a little higher than the
last half of 1961 possibly
a little lower for beef and
higher for pork and lamb.
are classified as severe, mod
crate, or mild according to
the severity of the tendency
to bleeding. A more sensitive
Indicator of the trouble is the
prothrombin c o n s u m ption
test, which is almost always
abnormal in cases of hemo
philia.

Crash Injures
Retail prices of frying
chickens probably will be
higher during the remainder
of the year, as supplies are
declining seasonally and are
well below a year ago.
Supplies of vegetables and
deciduous fruits for fresb use,
while seasonally large this
summer, are about the same
as last summer.
Canned and frozen citrus
juices arc in larger supply
than a year earlier, and pri
ces are expected to continue
below 1961.
Because of the population
increase and a change in the
pattern of buying, consumer
expenditures for food in the
first half of 1962 were about
3.3 per cent higher than the
first half of 1961. The depart
ment said the bill for market
ing and processing food rose
in response to rising incomes.
Apparently, with higher in
comes, people bought higher
priced foods.
The farm value of food
marketed changed very little
with marketings and farm
prices averaging about the
same as a year earlier.

Bikini Replaces
Flag of Spain
Gerona, Spain - (UNI - Four
English tourists who allegedly
lowered a Spanish flag and
ran up the lower half of a
girl's bikini in its place faced
expulsion today from Spain.
The four earlier were charg
ed with insulting the Spanish
flag and were to face a mili
tary court. But a military
governorship spokesman said
the government decided to
drop the charges.
Informed sources said the
civil government probably
would write the affair off as
ordinary "hooliganism," fine
the Englishmen and kick them
out of the country.
According to reports. Eng
lishmen Richard Hogger, 24,
look the lower half of the bi
kini from the girl while they
were swimming with three
other friends, ran along the
beach to a flag pole, ran
down the Spanish flag tlying
there and raised the bikini in
its place.
Meany Opposes
Strike Intervention
Washington - lUPIl - AFL
CIO President George Meany
said Sunday the government
should not enter labor dis
putes where it might be dic
tating terms in the public in
terest. Meany said he did not ob
ject to government-sponsored
mediation, arbitration or con
ciliation but did object to
workers being denied the
right to strike because public
interest was paramount.
If a business venture is of
such paramount interest to the
nation, he said, "I think we
ought to eliminate any idea
of private profit." Meany said
he felt such key industries
should be government owned.

IF NO TAX CUT. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR OUR ECONOMY?
If we don't get a substantial across-the-board cut in In
dividual and corporation income taxes at this session of Con
gress to stimulate spending and thereby give a new lift to
business activity, what are we probably facing in the months
ahead?
A period of "standstill" in our economy. Describe it as a
"pause" or "lull" or "near stagnation" or "sluggish expansion"
or a "disappointingly slow rate of growth" or a "leveling
off" or a "slide up" or "modest improvement" or "faltering
advance" or "doldrums at a high level" or a "plaleau at a
high level" or a "loss of momentum." Whatever you call it
or however you describe it, the pattern emerging is one
of "standstill" after only 17 months of mild advance from
the fourth recession of post-World War II.
Standing still even at Ihe highest levels ever In a
dynamic economy such as ours would mean we're falling
back.
For our labor force is growing rapidly year afler year
and unless the economy also grows rapidly, the jobs won't
be available for workers entering the Job market for the
first time and for those whose Jobs are erased by automation
of their factories and offices.
Under thost conditions, our unemployment rate which
hasn't fallen even near to the 5 per cent level, much leal
dropped to the 4 per cent rate considered "tolerable"
would be climbing steadily again.
In many industries too, there is both excess and obsolete
plant capacity and a pause would mean profits would be
peaking out or declining. There Is disturbing evidence Ihe
peaking out already may have occurred.
At the same time, the deficit In our Federal burigrt
would soar, for the simple reason that paychecks and profits
would not be producing sufficient taxes lo cover the spend
ing built into the budget.
This isn't gloomy guessing although so many economic ,
predicilions for 1962 have been so (ar off base that eco
nomists can't be blamed for being whit n( forecasting and
readers can't be blamed for being skeptical about the ac
curacy of the forecasts. Nevertheless, the Ingle of the above
lies in one key question: where is the stimulus lo come from
that would lift our economy out of its present stale of stand-still-pausc-lull-near
stagnation-sluggish expansion-vou name
it?
The stimulus won't come from sharply rising spending
by tile federal government or states or cities.
The higsest rale of rise In federal government spending
Is behind us; it gave our economy strength in 1961. State
and local spending is still rising but not at a pace that
would add real oomph to the economy either. Government
spending can't be counted on.
The stimulus won't come from sharply rising spending by
businessmen or plants and equipment. On the contrary, tins
is the weak spot.
The latest government survey of business spending plans
in May indicated businessmen had not hiked their programs
above the eight per cent increase they scheduled in February.
The latest McGraw-Hill survey made in June, alter the stock
market crackup and Ihe sleel fracas. Indicated businessmen
were not cutting back on plans to invest but neither were
Ihey upgrading their programs. The new liberalized de
preciation schedules should prop business investments In
factories and equipment but there' are no signs now of any
significant spurt in this vital area.
Nor will the stimulus come from sharply rising spending
by consumers for goods and services, according to present
signs.
Conaumeri have been the mainatay o( the economy so
far and (pending on autoa has been the brightest spot in
the picture. But the rise in consumer incomes is now alow,
ing and there ia nothing on the horiion to caute any sudden
ahift upward. There elao ia no evidence in the aurveya of
conaumera to auggeat en abrupt change in their plana to
buy steadily but not enthuaiaatically. The biggest rate of
rise in conaumer apending aeema behind ua too.
These are the three areas of spending. If none ran be
counted on to give the economy a new lift, whrre could the
stimulus come from?
The answer is no one sees where it could come from
barring a world conflict in which case no forecast would
matter unless It comes from major tax reduclions for in
dividuals and businessmen.
