OH TO STATS OOMmTTS* '• George R. Perrine of Aurora, Republican candidate for re-election to the office of 'State Central Committeeman for the Eleventh Congressional district, has been conducting •n aggressive campaign throughout downstate Illinois in oehalf of the candidacy of William G. Stratton for man-at-Large, Vernon L. BRIDAL COUPLE Nickell for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and Richard Yates Rowe for the office of Treasurer of the State of Illinois. Mr. Perrine has given little of his time to his own Campaign for re-election due to pressings speaking engagements throughout downstate Illinois. Speaking at Elgin before ' the Elgin Women's Republican club of that city recently, he declared that he was seeking re-election on his past record. Perrine said, "I have worked hard in the interests Of the Republican party and have sought to ; achieve party harmony at all times. 11 have done every job assigned to I me. My only campaign pledge to the Republicans of the Eleventh district is simply this: When re-elected I to the committee I will continue to | work for the interests of the Republican party and above all for a Re- 1 publican Victory in 1946. The Republican State committee will have ; charge of this all-important cam- I paign in Illinois and as a member ! of that committee I pledge my time land aid to the end that victory be iwon. "I have been throughout downstate Illinois the past four and one-half weeks campaigning in behalf of the state ticket. It is my personal opinion, after surveying the complete state, that this is going to be the banner Republican year. Wherever you go in downsate Illinois the meet-1 ings are well attended and speakers are enthusiastically received. We! are presenting to the Republican | voters the strongest possible combination of candidates. Each one of our j candidates is qualified for the office j he seeks and when elected will fill j the office capably aftd well. We of the Republican party should be proud that we do have this slate to pre-! sent to the people of Illinois. "So far as my own campaign for | re-election to the office of State Central Committeeman is concerned, | I will haVe to depend upon my many j friends throughout the eleventh Con- | gressional District to help me. They ( a l l know t h e ^ r e c o r d I have made i n ' that office and, I think that they all approve of thatfecord." Photo by A. Worwlck, McHenry MR. AND MRS.

Sugar Substitutes baking you can use molasses, and cane, maple and sorghum syrups as a substitute' for white sugar. mijfm Sturdy Weave A firm, sturdy weave in a piece of material wears longest and usually keeps its shape better with less shrinkage and less pulling at the seams. To test firmness of a weave, first hold the cloth up to a strong light. The yarns should be uniform* ly spun, uniform in size, and evenly spaced.

Murrill, well known botanist, discovered several years ago has proven to be self-sterile and can be propagated only vegetatively. After five years of breeding experiments .tirith this rare form the retired scientist has proven that it does not reproduce from seed and that it is unfruitful unless pollinated. All the plants he grew from seeds taken from white fruits produced black berries. v Dr. Murrill says no plants of this mutant, which produces pearly white and very sweet fruits, are available for distribution. For Wf* Let in P*a» Nowadays, i jsimsn thinks of his •hip as faUnlM, but the reason he lovingly labels her "she" is lost la antikfJtty. There are those who facetiSusly say a vessel Is feminine because she-requires constant painting, because it takes men to handle her, and because In port she has a "husband"--an agent who handles business ashore. There are others who say that because a ship has a waist, bonnets, laces, stays, scarfs, combings, jewels and earrings, and often has a "bustle" about her, the gender properly is feminine. Still others insist that the use of feminine figureheads on ships' prows influenced the choice. However, Phoenician and Egyptian boats -- among recorded history's earliest -- were graced with male animals, to say nothing of dragons and serpents and monsters too ferocious to hhve been anything but masculine. Ships have not always been "she." During the 17th and 18th centuries, vessels were merchantmen, men-ofwar, Indiamen, and the like. Even as early as 1426 a historian recounting the battle of Agincourt said "every ship waved his anker"; 150 years later a treatise mentions that "in a shyppe the Rudder ought to be no lesse than may suffice to direct hys course." i Subscribe for The Plaindealat to thank ferings, WILLIAM KATTNER FAMILY.

C., research scientists combined penicillin with certain aluminum or magnesium compounds and discovered a method whereby the drug could be taken by mouth with effective results for the treatment of various diseases. They found that the administration by mouth of four doses of 25,000 units each of penicillin, two hours apart, modified by either aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide, will result in a prolonged level of penicillin in the blood stream. Following each dose, the investigators said, there is a pronounced increase! in the blood concentration level off penicillin, and this blood level may be increased with subsequent doses. Relatively high levels of penicillin may be maintained in blood by in*, creasing the frequency of the dose j of penicillin-aluminum hydroxide.'- They conclude that because of the prolonged penicillin concentrations, in the blood following this methoa of administration by mouth, tkif dosage form may have some deflnit# preventive value in disease.
