The primary purpose of the Red Cross Canteen Corps is to provide an organization that ft trained and equipped to meet the problems of emergency feeding in time of disaster. Such a group may be called in emergencies occasioned by epidemics, fires, floods, and those arising from sabotage and war. It may be needed in the feeding of families affected by such disasters or in serving of food to fire fisrhters, air raid wardens, or others engaged in the protection of life and property during disaster. The personnel of the Corps must be citizens of the United States and of good standing in the community, must pass a certain physical requirement and with high morale. Uhe local chairman is Mrs. George Stilling, the county chairman, Mrs. Sandeen of Woodstock, the personnel (McHenry) May Martin, Gertrude Singer, Inez Egbert, Cora Duker, Alice Lindsay, Mary Page, Louise Wohl, Grace Stilling, Avis Gans, Lottie Bransford, Betty Cusen and Grace Murphy, ill of whom have received their Nutrition certificates, and are now engaged in canteen work. The Corps is divided in units of four members, which can be assigned to definite areas designated by the sub-committees on food of the Disaster Preparedness and Relief committees and cyi be given definite duties and specific assignments. The McHenry chapter is in need of fireiess cookers. If there are three, in the community which we might have in case of emergency, will the j owners get in .touch with Mrs. Still-: ing •7 ! Last reports from St. Louis to Mrs. j <>orman, Production chairman, are to j the effect that if fifteen women sigh up for sewing instruction for one day j per week in McHenry, an instructor' will be sent here, instead of our,members having to journey to Woodstock'.

Augusta Travers--•you know, the Ofie who runs the little hat shop down | 6ti Main Street--she's always been dead set against gambling in any form. Never will forget when I was a kid and she found Little Hammy, her youngest nephew, playing marbles for keeps out back of the shop. ; Took it on herself to give him a whal- • ing and point out the evils of gam- i bling.

Then she brought out a placard she'd had printed up and put it tin the middle, -and this is what it said: "These are ; the Local Boys who have enlisted in America's War--They are betting that you are buying War Bonds and Stamps--Hitler and the Japs are bet- j ting you aren't--Place your bets in- i side." My wife couldn't wait to get herself down there and inside Augusta's shop to see what in the wide world had happened to her, turning right around about gambling like that. You know my wife. She kind of likes to talk. She went right up to Augusta and said, "Augusta Travers, seems like something's come over you. Why, I never thought I'd see you running a gambling campaign in your own shop." Mean to tell me it's a gamble whether this country buys em ugh bonds to win this war? Augusta asked. I forgot to say.

HUGH MURPHY (scribe) Bristles Gathered From Ground " The Chinese hog, foraging in the forests, sheds bristles in the warm months as he rubs against the trees. Most of the half pound of glistening hade bristles per hog are collected from the ground. Then they are delivered to village warehouses, and shipped to such export centers as Tientsin, Hankow, and Chungking where they are sorted for quality, color and length. About one-fourth of them may be two inches or shorter; one-half may run two to three inches. One-tenth, running four inches and over, bring a hitfh market price. Bundling and sterilizing complete preparations for export. Shoemakers and saddlers are steady customers for the finest imported bristles. Manufacturers of toilet and clothes brushes buy top grades. War uses for bristles include the carding of wool for uniforms and blankets §nd the painting of bar* racks, production plants, planes, tanks, trucks, ships.' Few instruawnts o# war escape the brush. Analyzing Leaves, Fruit - Tell. Fertilizer Heed Leaf and fruit analysis shows accurately the needs of fruit trees for certain fertilizer elements, and may eventually prove a help to - fruit growers who wish to make the best use of slim fertilizer supplies. Lack of potash, nitrogen, and even mere traces of some elements, such as boron, can be determined by study of the mineral content of the leaves or fruits, according to the work in progress at the Cornell university agricultural experiment station. Soil analysis does not show accurately the fertilizer needs of longlived tree crops, according to Professor Damon Boynton, in charge of the analysis. As & result^the trees may actually get too'lmuch fertilizer, or too little fertilizer of a certain kind; yet the grower does not know when and how to correct the waste. The work of analysis can be accomplished *with full laboratory equipment, but accuracy of the results'under different growing conditions, different soil and fruit typos must yet be checked. If results are promising, the investigators will try to set up a method of orchard analysis of leaves that will be practical for growers to use.

From- time "to time the question arises as to whether pulpless teeth (dead teeth) should be removed. In general, the opinion of the dental and medical profes- | sion is that if the j X-ray shows no taouble and the in- ! dividual is not suf- i fering with any condition due to infec- j, tion -- rheumatism, ; neuritis, tired feel- j ing, sleepiness--the j pulpless teeth should ; { g g g j l l l r e m a i n a i n t h e : mouth. Artificial j teeth cannot take { the place of natural i teeth. There are many physicians and dentists, however, who believe that pulpless teeth are a menace to j health even if the teeth and the patient have no fcymptortia of infection, i Dr. Charles Mayo, America's out- j standing physician, and Dr. Weston Price, Cleveland, the distinguished j dentist, both advised that pulpless teeth were a "hidden" danger, 9no should be removed. In the JournaT of the American Dental Association, Dr. Lehman ! Wendell, Minneapolis, tells of a pa- j tieht "who suffered for years from lack of appetite and poor digestion ' His left eye required a different lens from that required by the right. ' At frequent intervals a severe pain in the heart would compel him to sjt_.down for a few minutes. He was continually tired and never felt * refreshed from a night's sleep. As ' years went by pain developed on .left side in the arm, the shoulder, the hip, the knee and the great toe. He got but little sleep." Suspecting three pulpless teeth, he had X-rays taken which were ex- j •mined by dental and medical spe- ' cialists, all of whom advised him not j to remove the pulpless teeth as thsy I were such good teeth and hs own j A physician then gave him a com- ; plete physical examination and"! could find nothing to account for | the patient's ill health but the three ; pulpless teeth. The three teeth were ' removed and in a month the patient was completely free of pain and in normal health. The patient was really Dr. Wendell himself and a* 1 he tells his own story he says: "My own experience was for me a valuable lesson. I have become suspicious of all pulpless teetll;" ' • • • ' Simple Test For Early Goiter In examining recruits for overseas service, the physician keeps in mind that the recruit is likely to be nerv ous and his heart rate will therefor* be faster than normal. Thus whe» the heart is very rapid the recrun is asked to sit or lie down, and rest or read some non-exciting book. , If the heart rate is fast ever> time it is examined, the examining physician may suspect an early dis turbance of the thyroid glandgoiter. It can readily be seen, however, that if the individual is of the nerv ous or emotional type, his very nerv ousness will keep him nervous, less calm, than he should be during the test and so the heart and other body processes will work too rapidly and yet no goiter be present. How, then, can the examining physician be sure that goiter is not piesent when the recruit's nervous ness causes the body processes to work as rapidly as when goiter is really present? As many young men are beinj: examined by their family Rhysiciafc these days before they go for ex : amination by army physicians, want to speak of the test known a the Bram Quinine test for hyper thyroidism or overactive thyroic gland. In Medical World, Dr. Israe Bram, Philadelphia, stated: "For a long time the genera1 practitioner has been in need of a simple, dependable and harmlestest for goiter not influenced h> emotional upsets, errors in making the test, or other factors." The quinine test is simple. Thf patient is given 12 capsules contain ing 10 grains each of quinine with instructions to take a capsule thret times a day. If, after foQr days there are no symptoms arising fronthe quinine, the individual is caller "positive," that is he has goiter because a normal individual canno take this much quinine without hav ing present the symptoms due tc quinine--feeling of fullness in the head, head noises,, lessened hearing occasional headache and dizziness and sometimes disturbances of the stomach and urinary bladder. In a series of 5,000 cases this test «as correct in about 96 per cent • • # QUESTION BOX New U. S. Planes Harass Enemy British Reveal Deadly Woirlf Of the Avenger and The Mustang. Our %.-4K ;v.

Phelps explained that instead of the ordinary head of a bolt he has invented a "lock member" which, takes its place. The member, one of two identical pieces, fits securely into a notch below the tapered head of the bolt. "A quick tap of the workman's hammer, or any piece of metal, releases the bolt, and saves valuable time ordinarily used in unscrewing the nut by wrench," he said.
