Tagged Catfish Released in North Central Streams
Two thousand channel catfish stocked in the Des Moines Boone and Raccoon rivers north of Des Moines carry small metal tags with serial numbers. Biologists insert tags through a slit in the abdomen to study growth and migration. The adipose fin is removed for quick identification. Fishermen are asked to report tag numbers to the State Conservation Commission.

There Is No Home Remedy for Appendicitis
Public health guidance warns against home treatment for acute stomach ache and outlines appendicitis risks. The appendix is a small organ on the lower right abdomen whose infection can arise from intestinal blockage or other infections. Sudden abdominal pain with fever, nausea, and tenderness near the appendix should prompt a doctor visit, with patient put to bed and no stomach rubbing or hot applications until help arrives.
When to Treat Acute Appendicitis Promptly
A medical column warns against eating or drinking in suspected acute appendicitis and against giving medicines or laxatives. It advises immediate surgical removal if diagnosed, noting delay risks perforation gangrene and fatal peritonitis, with early operation giving an excellent outlook. The Marian County Tuberculosis Association sponsors the health column.
