Thursday, December 20, 1956 • • • • <• • m m m m m m m m m m mm ai m m m GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS What are your plans for the approaching holidays to keep them happy and safe? Undoubtedly your shopping list is carefully made out, gifts and meals well thought out, but what have you dope to assure the health and happiness of you and your loved one, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society asks in HEALTH TALK. What have you done to avert tragedy during the coming holidays? Your Christmas tree will be one of the prettiest ever, but remember last year you had some trouble with the string of lights. You planned to have the wiring checked for safety, byt did you? What about the electric switch that was always sputtering sparks? Fire is a vicious enemy, but that Can be overcome through precaution. Oh yes, that rickety ladder! Remember it toppled a few times as you trimmed the tree Just year and several times sin^e When you used it to place things on high shelves. You've been lucky--you didn't fall. Better check the ladder. Broken bones are, painful, so why not avoid them? Fatigue is a holiday spoiler and one that you can sidestep if you plan your chores wisely. Your body is a wonderful machine that adjusts nicely to an increased pace of living, but why overload it? Hurry, crowded activity and tension contribute to fatigue. And forcing yourself to do one more thing, when you are already third, helps to decrease your resistance. What happens? You set yourself up as an easy target for the host of germs and viruses -whose home is your body. They thrive on your fatigue. They invade, attack and spread. Infection runs rampant. You are the unwilling victim of colds, influenza, pneumonia, gastrointestinal upsets and a host of other conditions. But you asked for it by getting overly tired. The giving of gifts is fun. Bestowing pleasure on others is delightful, particularly to children. But are the toys you selected the right ones? Are you sure that happiness will result when curious and eager little hands tear apart the packages you've wrap ped so gayly? Have you avoided toys with sharp points and tiny removable parts? Telling the child to be careful is not- enough. Prevent an accident by buying a suitable and safe toy. To keep your home safe and Dutch Treat With Shoo Fly Pie 13 Shoo Fly Pie, regional dessert specialty from the Pennsylvania Dutch, is a rich and fragrant^ treat for harvest menus! Really a pie-pudding with fts sugar-crumb top layer, it claims the delicate flavors of unsulphured molasses and spices. You'll find Shoo Fly Pie most simple to assemble. Flour, sugar and spices are measured out, and butter cut into them. This crumb' mixture is spooned into an unbaked pastry shell over a liquid mixture made with molasses and water. The pie is ready to be baked without further ado. A lemon sauce may accompany each serving of the pie if desired.

Do you keep them free of toys and odds and ends that will cause someone to trip? Are your floors so highly polished that they encourage falls.' Remember, this type of accident is one of the most common and severe. Now that you've checked your home for safety, what can you do to decrease traffic accident? If you plan to drive during the holidays, be sure your car is in good condition and allow yourself sufficient time to avoid haste. Heed traffic warnings, and if you're driving, don't drink. That last cocktail may be your undoing. Use common sense. Wisdom is a priceless heritage. Its application wilK^keep you safe. And now good health and' happiness to everyone! No Pitch Stains On Rugs If Cleaned Immediately , If you remove pitch stains and needles immediately, your Christmars tree will give you no rug worries, promises the National Institute of Rug Cleaning. Where small spots of pitch have dropped on a rug or carpet, use a safe, nonflammable, nontoxic' drycleaning fluid to remove them. Apply in small quantities with an eyedropper. Blot with Clean, white cleansing tissue. Repeat as often as necessary. Start on the outside of the stain and work inward. Because it is highly poisonous, do not use carbon tetrachloride.

Green St. "STORE FOR EVERYONE' PHONE 182 Meat producers seem to be out of the woods. They had more than their share of rough going in late 1955 and early 1956, and; they will have their same market problems in 1957. But the worst seems to be past. The major meat animal industries, hogs and beef cattle, were more depressed a year ago than any other major part of American agriculture. Prices of hogs were more than one-third lower than prices of mosft other farm products. Prices of beef cattle were one-fourth. Tower. The main cause of these exceptionally low prices was an unprecedented increase in meat supplies. The total supply of meat (beef, veal, pork, lamb and mutton) increased 27 percent from 1951 to 1956. The output of competing poultry, especially broilers, increased even more. Retail prices were reduced in order to get consumers to buy the increased supply. Wholesale prices were dropped even more, allowing wider margins which induced retailers to handle more meta. Prices of live hogs and cattle were reduced most of all, allowing larger handling margins. The total meat supply for this year is 163 to 164 pounds, which exceeds the all-time record high set way back in 1908. The prospective supply for 1957 is a little less, around 160 pounds. While this reduction is small, it will have a muclf different effect on prices from an increase in supplies. If consumer demand holds up, as now seems likely, the expected shrinkage of meat supplies will permit higher retail prices for meat, and even larger (increases in "prices of meat at wholesale and in prices of livestock. A smaller output of pork will cause the cut in total meat supply in 1957. The supply of beef will remain near the record-high level of this year. For the next few months, the supply of pork will be 5 to 10 percent less than it was a.year:ago. A small reduction is also indicated for toext summer. The supply for late 1957 cannot be foreseen until the report of farmers' breeding intentions is released late in December. Although ' the total supply of beef may be about the same in 1957 as in 1956, the distribution by seasons may be different. Where supplies of well-finished cattle were very abundant during the first half of 1956, they will be more moderate in the first half of the coming year. Likewise, where supplies of fat cattle* have been moderate in recent months, they may be larger next fall. Prices of choice and prime cattle generally decline during the winter and reach a low in the spring. The summer then often brings a substantial'; price advance. Top prices afe expected to decline moderately this winter, but to average higher for the first six months than in 1956. Some recovery is probable next summer, although top prices are not expected to equal those of recent months. Looking to 1958 and beyond, we can probably expect meat supplies to fall a little short of the 163 to 164 pounds per person available this year. Sales of meat animals may produce a larger share of farm infcome than tney have produced during the past year or so. Dept. of Agr. Econ. L. H. Simerl BETTER SCHOOLS BUILD BETTER COMMUNITIES M.C.H.S.
