Weinert home in Downers Grove. He swung a bat with a firm hand and laughed with sportsmanlike enthusiasm when he missfeti:-- But on the porch of the Weinert | home stood the father and mother of the ball player, Richard P. Weinert Jr., 10. They were watching their son, a "blue baby" at birth, shout and play with 'youngsters-- and like them--for the first time ir his life. Young WeinerfVjust recently returned from Jofyts Hopkins university hospital whfere he underwent a successful operation by Dr. Alfred Blalock. Tells About Operation. "Dick" paused from his game with Ronnie Billingsly, 11, of 4536 Prince avenue to tell about his operation. Billingsly and several other neighborhood children took up a collection to buy him a ball and bat. "llie best part about it was the plane ride--I want to get real strong so I can pilot my own plane," he declared.

Since 1910 almost half the money .farmers have spent for fertiliser has been for nitrogen, a large share of which is chemical nitrogen that has become cheaper as the last SO years brought improved synthetic processes of manufacture into wide use. Wars are great consumers of nitrogen, both for explosives and for fertilizer to promote food production. World War II brought a doubling of plant capacity for synthetic nitrogen manufacture in the United States and Canada. According to the fertilizer specialists, some of these great plants are being converted to fertilizer production in order to assure farmers of the largest nitrogen supply for crops that they have ever had. Among the various states there are striking differences in the use of nitrogen. More than half of the fertilizer nitrogen is used in the states along the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts, while many of the great corn and wheat states use little nitrogen and comparatively little commercial fertilizer of any kind. Florida, Maine and Ohio use most of their nitrogen im mixed fertilizers, and in Mississippi and California most of it is used by itself. all right--anything was be Just laying and watching insure that reproductive failure wa* \fT' ,,bu* not caused by a shortage of calo- U w,thin recorded time, ries resulting from decreased appetite in pantothenic acid deficient rats, a group of animals were fed a diet containing adequate amounts of the vitamin but deficient in calorics.

Other deficiencies impairing reproduction are of vitamin E, vitamin A, essential fatty acids, low protein intake, riboflavin, an amino acid called ^tryptophane, and biotin.

SuMtag Lstsst Ttsknlq*#'--^ j la Dryisg Wot Ditto If you are an average homemaker, you probably wash six tons of dishes te a year, estimates Mrs. Ethel Self of Kansas State college, who recommends some shortcuts in this Cinderella task at the kitchen. Dishes may be rinsed In scald* tag water, placed on a dish drainer and allowed to dry by themselves. It is only necessary to dry silver and glassware. A tall tomato juice can which has had the bottom pe^ forated toward the outside with small nail holes mains a handy drainer for the silverware. A wooden disc with small holes bored over its surface and slipped into the base of the can will keep the silver from being scratched. Tills can, containing the silver, can be immersed into the scalding water and lifted out again, saving burned fingers. Tongs may be used for lifting dishes out of the scalding water to place them on dish drainer. Plenty of good hut sudsy water and bait tag hot" rinse water will leave your dishes actually much cleaner than when dried with a towel. Selecting Lamp Hie Rural Electrification administration offers the following tions in choosing a good lamp for the home: Choose a study lamp or Size floor lamp tall enough a shade broad enough to spread a wide circle of useful light; select a lamp with a diffusing (reflector) bowl under the shade to reduce glare and soften the light; choose floor and study lamps that use bulbs which give three intensities at light; select broad bottom shades that are deep enough to conceal the diffusing Mwi and have a white lining to reflect the light. White or Ivory shades provide about 50 per cent more light than dark ones. Saccharine used for sweetening preserves may give the fruit to unpleasant bitter flavor. vitamins. Is nscssssry for tion.

Evans showed In re* cent experiments with rats that a diet deficient hi pantothenic acid resulted in failure of impregnation; resorption, the rat equivalent of miscsrriage; or defective litters. This result held true in the experiments for rats which were fed on s diet deficient in pantothenic acid for a period from 23 days before mating down to as late as the day of mating. The female rats were maintained on the deficient diet, while the males with whom they were mated were fed on a normal diet. Care was taken that the diet was deficient in no other way.
