Uncle Sam Says 8lcaiaa all The Bent ll| Leas la ftaltry Campaign Atari vTa B«ftt Grata Savfftti A nationwide "Eats Hens to Help" campaign has been launched by the Poultry and Egg National board, with the objective of saving 30 million bushels of grain for Europe* This program is being supported by government agencies, as well as industry members. The campaign, which calls for every American family to eat one hen per week, carries out the pledge worked out by poultry and govern-, ment leaders as a better grain-saving substitute for poultryless Thursday. Success of the campaign will transform 136 million grain-eating hens into chicken pot pie, chicken a la king, chicken 'n dumplings and other favorite dishes which housewives create from stewing fowl. Grocers and meat dealers are coope rating in the drive to "eat the hens which are eating the grain." This campaign is designed to sava more than half of the 56 million bushels of grain pledged by the poultry industry. 'The program of the citizens food committee calls for a saving of 100 million bushels of grain. Consequently, the pouhrymen's program will provide 56 per cent of the total amount of grain day.

About 20 years ago, an 8-year-old girl in my nursery had a severe cold at the end of Christmas holidays. While I was worrying as to whether she ought to start back to boardingschool or not, we took the short motor trip from the ranch to the city apartment, and when it came time for the small girl to get out of the car, she could walk only with difficulty, and she was white with pain. We got her into bed, and got the right doctor. I know he was the right doctor because he said at once that it was rheumatic fever, that it would touch her heart if we didn't take Care and that she must stay in .bed, not leaving the bed for baths, changes of linen or anything else for six weeks. We followed these hard rules carefully, the little girl became well, and is now a happy wife and mother. The instant the doctor diagnosed her case, I telephoned the neighbor who had shared our holidays, and whose two children had also had the heavy colds and the mysterious sharp pains in legs and stomach. But this neighbor was a happy-go-lucky soul who believed that children will do anything to get out of a return to school, and she packed them off with no tether thought. They took a cold has ride, sat on school benches, idled about the playground in recess and presently the small girl was seriously ill. For two years she was invalided, bright red spots on her cheeks, pain off and on, danger always close. But she survived, and although not a strong woman, still is living a normal life. Boy Drop* Dead The boy seemed sll right, .but he dropped dead at 11 years of age, in a football game. This story is factual, and may seem unusual. But unusual is what it isn't. v , CARE HELPS Rheumatic fever, an innocuous, harmless-sounding phrase has been nicknamed the great "National Killer" because of the fearfid ravages it has made upon America's children. Most mothers are prone to regard the disease lightly, unaware of the tragic consequences which may result if adequate counter - measures are not taken promptly. " Miss Norris illustrates the seriousness of proper care with a salt tale of two children who were afflicted with rheumatic fever. Such useless tragedies are preventable. They are preventable by mothers who must realize the stark seriousness of rheumatic fever. It is 32 times more prevalent than polio, and children's deaths from whooping cough, meningitis, measles, diphtheria and scarlet fever aH combined, don't amount to more than a fraction of the deaths from damaged hearts. Cures for rheumatic feverare painfully slow and necessitate saintly patience. Good health is a valuable asset. In monetary terms no price con to vetoed on U. It is kuxticiMNe. To preserve it, we must exercise necessary care and teaeonaNe precautions. It is the saddest and commonest story of American childhood. It is the story of the heart trouble that touches thousands--tens of thousands of lives every year, weakening, int juring hearts, making them ready tor i final trouble. Not as bad as the dreaded polio? Net like that? Why, it Is 32 times more prevalent and more fatal than polio. For every child stricken by infantile paralysis, 32 are fatally or permanently injured by this insidious and voracious evil. Children's deaths from polio, whooping cough, meningitis, measles, diphtheria and scarlet fever all combined, don't amount to more than a fraction of the deaths from injured hearts. And this is not to say that in the end, inasmuch as the heart stops beating at death, all disease and death come from the heart. No, this is specific and localized trouble with the organ itself. Considering all this, why do so many mothers strain their energies and incdmes to the limit, on schools, amusements, clothes for the children . and overlook the pitfall right at their feet, that.pitfall that is dug by the heavy cold, the touch of rheumatic tevet and the ignorant neglect? The minute you hear, from a competent pediatrician or diagnostician, that there is a "murmur" in th; heart of the child you love, then that child muyt get straight into bed and be watched, kept warm and amused, --LBt .

The canning process leaves a partial vacuum in the space above the Juice, but when the jar is opened the liquid surface is subjected to the full pressure of the atmosphere, about 15 pounds per square inch. This squeezes the air bubbles so that they become smaller and are no longer able to float the fruit. • • * See T.
