"Did you want to see me about^orr.ething?" The thin middle-aged woman storpd up from the chair in the outer ...office and looked earnestly at the boss with her huge, grave gray eyes. "It's about this ten percent e," she began. "Oh, that's all right, Bessie," the boss said.--*'I!d been meaning to speak to you about that. We don't expect you to pledge ' ten perhS i* cent of your pay for War Bonds like the others are doing. We know you have a hard time making ends meet since Jaker died. Eleven kids,, isn't, it? That's quite a lot of mouths to feed. Let's see, you make $25.50 a week including overtime, don't you?" r'Yes, sir, but . . The boss smiled. "Don't give it another thought, Bessie. You've got your hands full.' now. Uncle Sam knows you haven't got a penny to spare. Don't let it worry you. We understand," The boss turned to go back into hiis private office. "But what I wanted to say was . . .".Bessie raised her voioe an<3 the" boss looked around. "I wanted to say, would a dollar a w£ek be too little? You see, after we get the living expenses paid, there's just about a dollar a week left. Would they be willing to accept a dollar a week?" "They'd be more than willing," the boss said quietly. "They'd be proud." Bessie looked relieved. "All we have to do is scrimp a little," she said. "I'd feel just terrible if we couldn't give something." Back in the boss office a representative of the Treasury Department was waiting. The boss shut the door and sat down. "I've just seen the greatest single sacrifice I knowjof," the boss said.

The Christmas collections at St. NRA Beginning, End The National Industrial Recovery act was approved June 18, 1933, and on the same day the President issued an executive order appointing Hugh Johnson administrator for industrial recovery. The first code was for the cotton textile industry, approved by the President July 9, 1933, and effective July 17, 1933. On May 27, 1935, the U. S. Supreme court held parts of the NIRA unconstitutional in the Schechter case, bringing an end to code making by the National Recovery administration. Some months ago the Canadian Medical association, with funds provided by insurance companies, published a little book called "Food and Health," a copy of which was to reach every home in Caftada. This l i t t l e book told of food values, the needs of the body for various kinds( of food, the cost of an ' ' a l l round" meal for families of /various sizes and other useful information about food and health. The National Nutrition program, through the United States Federal Security agency, includes a motion picture on nutrition entitled "Hidden Hunger." "We all have a job. to do these days and part of our share in the nation's wartime effort begin* ^th our choice of foods." A ; A -recent " natidn-wfde,.A stirvey showed that two out of five of us suffer from hidden hunger---live at half speed, because we only feed parts of our body and let the Other parts starve. The body needs 40 different food elements to feed its various cells--some elements to feed muscles, others to feed the brain, others for the cells by which we see, feel and hear. I will not reveal the plot of the film story by which we will all be taught "to use food wisely and thereby stop extravagant waste of our abundant food stuffs and at the same time get ourselves an equal chance for health the way we got durselves an equal chance to vote." "If the American people will bnly buy and cook well-b,alanced meals those now suffering from hidden hunger (not the hunger coming from an empty stomach but the hunger in a body that has been fed the wrong kind of food) will be brought back to health and efficiency." What is the amount -nd the kinds of food a man should eat every day to be hale and hearty? "One egg, one pint of milk (threefourths to one quart for growing •children); two vegetables (green, leafy or yellow) and a potato; an orange or tomato juice and another fruit, three or four slices of the right kind of bread (whole wheat or enriched white); two tablespoons of butter or margarine, and meat;" What Causes Bad Breath? <Kreconian> Record Ben Gay, Worden, Ore., believes he set some kind of record when he recently bought 354 town lots there for 10 cents each. The lots had been advertised for sale by the county for delinquent taxes for the last year and one-half, but the county had to reduce Its price.

It is admitted that bad breath can be caused by mouth and nose conditions such as infected teeth and tonsils, and by the dry form of catarrh. But what causes bad breath when mouth, nose and throat are free of infection? " Drs. Burrill B. Crohn and Rudolph Drosd, New York, in the Journal Of the American Medical Association, state that heretofore patients with bad breath have consulted nose and throat specialists and dentists who searched for decaying teeth, infected gums, and infections of throat and sinus. The teeth, the gums, the tonsils and sinuses are the cause at times only and cases due to nose and throat conditions are becoming less jn number due to better knowledge of the importance of a healthy mouth, throat find nose. A Experiments were made as to the best method or methods to prevent the odor of garlic on the breath jfhese research workers found, that it was not the mouth nor the stomach that was responsible for the odor of garlic on th6 breath but the intestines, particularly the small intestine into which the partially digested food is poured from the stomach. . Why is the small intestine responsible for bad odors on the breath, because oil of peppermint and oil Of wintergreen were also used in the tests and these two oils acted ex« actfy the same as garlic? : These research workers state that h a l i t o s i s is due to the fact that fat foods eaten are not handled properly or are not handled completely by the liver and it is these incompletely digested fat foods, lying in the small intestine, that cause the odor. They point out that patients with pepticulcer taking much milk daily/often have a bad breath. "If these pa tients are given a diet of cereal, eggs, and lean meat, the odor disappears. •" • • QUESTION BOX Q.--Is it harmful to eat a raw potato every day? 1 A.--A raw potato will do no harm if eaten daily. One raw vegetable or fruit daily is recommended by food experts. *" Q.--What causes me to become exhausted easily? A.--Two commonest causes of exhaustion are: (a) nervousness or emotional upsetments, worries and conflicts, (b) some low infection, teeth, tonsils, sinus or intestines. ' Fast Farce A fast-running farce Is abwrt the most popular with a theater audience, but there isn't one playwright in 10,000,000 ^people who can write that kind.

OLD GENERAL WINTER, the hardest, toughest scrapper of them all, is in command in Russia. He is fighting with cold and snow and ice as ammunition. His campaign is harder on Hitler's Huns than even that put up by the hard-hitting Russians. I am in no sense a military strategist-- not even of the typewriter variety-- but it is my privilege to make a guess, based on my belief in the strategy and effectiveness of General Winter. That guqss is that the German army will °bl6w up before next June, and the war in Europe will be over. When it is, and when both the American and British navies and air forces can be combined against the Japs, they will quickly cut the Ja|» lines of communication, and the lit-" tie brown devils will be through. f „ That is merely the guess of a lay-1 man. Such guessing cannot have any effect on our war effort. We must go o§, despite the anticipated results to be achieved by General Winter. My guess is based to some extent bn having seen at close range the end of World War I. I saw the British, French and American armies begin driving the.Germans back. The German army had been an arrogant, hard-hitting outfit, so long as it was dishing it out. When the tide turned, that army and the German nation could not take what they had been giyihg to the Allies. Defeat turns them into yellow cowards. The Russians held the German army through the summer. General Winter will defeat it with his munitions of cold, snow and ice. The American army that landed in north and west Africa is an invading force. The President proclaimed it' as such to the French people. Being neither a military nori a political strategist, I cannot know how the establishment of a "second front" in such portions of Africa can defeat Hitler's armies in Europe. * • • INDIA PROBLEM IS VERY DIFFICULT JF YOU WANT to become confused to the "nth" degree, just try to understand conditions in India, and England's Indian problem. The more y.ou read of a country in which, there are more than 80 languages spoken; in which there are hundreds of radically opposed and uncompromising religions; in which there are a hundred and more principalities, each ruled by a native prince; in which there are more people than in all of North and South America, Africa and Australia combined--peoipie with all of the superstitions and conflicting emotions engendered by the ages since the world began, the more confused you will become. Personally, I am glad it is England's problem, and not ours. India is not "a country--in fact, it is 100 or more countries with conflicting ideas --in which could be accomplished the job we worked at in the Philippines. I cannot see India as a place where we should interfere. We would not solve the intricate, unsolvable Indian problem, if there is a problem. I am more than willing that India should continue to be an exclusively English job. • • * 1 U. S. FARMER ! IS GETTING 'HIS SHARE' AMERICAN FARMERS, as a class, felt they had a good year in 1919, but the total farm revenue of 1942 is just about one billion dollars more than it was in 1#19. The revenue for 1942, including government payments, represents a total of $9,785,000,000. That is a net figure, after deducting the cost of farm operations According to the department of agriculture, it represents a net, increase of 45 per cent over 1941. The gross revenue from crops sold was approximately 1 < billion dollars. That was double the average of farm sales from 1935 to 1139. The department credits 1(2 per cent of the increase to increased production, and 25 per cent to increased prices. On the basis of these department of agriculture figures, it would seem that the farmer is again securing his share. A JUSTIFIABLE war measure would be to bar all lobbying representatives of minority blocs from Washington for the duration. They are not serving the cause of America. They are not serving the best interests of those whom they claim to represent. TO PARAPHRASE: The only fcood Jap is a dead Jap. The United States marines have been making a lot of good Japs out of bad ones in the South Pacific. PERSONALLY, I much prefer .to see it in print than to hear it over the air. For me, the radio cannot take the place of the newspaper. What I see, I grasp and remember. That will be true with you, if you j ,but think about it seriously.

Youngsters Strain Ey«% While Reading Funnies Heading the funnies with their heads hanging down, favorite position: for children, is one of the chief causes of nearsightedness, according to Dr. Frederick^ A. Woll, associate in° optometry " at Columbia university. '"'Cattle have a retractor muscle which takes the weight off the optic nerve when they hang their heads to graze, but human beings have no such muscle," Dr. Woll said. "By hanging their heads for hours while reading, children stretch their eyeballs, and increase the distance between the back of the e#e and the lens, so. that nearsightedness is the result. "Youngsters, have a powerful lens, compared to adults, and this means that they are able to focus up close. In order to enlarge the size of print while learning to read, they will invariably bring their books or pictures close to their faces. The eyes are pulled in and down in this close reading, the circulation is choked off, and the eyes become engorged, again resulting in stretching the eyeballs. "A Dr. Gstner in Austria tried narnessing one class of children so that they couldn't get too close to their " work, and that class, did turn out to be noticeably less near-sighted, but this system seems a little : drastic," Dr. Woll commented. "A simpler method is to blow up the size of print so. |hat bringing it , close to the eye narrows the field of vision, and the children will hold . the book away in order to take in a whole word or phrase at a i glance."
