You don't have to remember all Uie quality points of beef to be a good buyer. The standards you can follow are already set up; it's just a matter of suiting the grade to your family tastes and pocketbook. I The five grades of beef most commonly found in retail markets are U. S. prime, choice, good, commercial and utility. Meats expert Sleeter Bull, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, gives his flavor and economy interpretation of these grades. Prime beef ia a luxury item for most families. Its thick covering of firm white or creamy white fat, high degree of finish and marbling indicate rich tender meat that has considerable waste fat. When you want palatabllity and economy, select U. S. Choice beef. This meat contains some, but not much, marbling. It has a good flavor, is reasonably tender and is not wasty. A large amount of fairly good lean at an economical price is what you get when you buy U. S. Good beef. The proportion of lean is considerably higher in this grade than in Prime. For example, a prime T-bone steak has 48 percent lean, a good T-bone has 59 percent lean. But as you know, good grade beef is not so rich in flavor nor as tender as the higher grade meats. T^e two most economical sources of beef for consumers with limited budgets are the commercial and utility grades. Their economy and nutritive values are about their only recommendations. Limited fat covering and marbling mean there is little or ro rich- Atom Disaster Would Demand Many Trained 'Mass Feeders' "In case of enemy attack or atom bombing, the disaster would demand more trained persons for mass feeding than we can hope to have today," two Red Cross workers who conducted an emergency feeding program during the flood disaster in Kansas City last July, warn in an issue of the Journal a# Home Economics. "Disaster feeding fet best is a hodgepodge afTair because there are never enough experienced people and survivors to do an ideal Job," Jane Gris\yold, assistant national director of ithe American Red Cross Food and Nutrition Service, and Kathleen Kienstra. director of the Midwestern Area °* ***** service, explain in an article pointing out that experience in the flood disaster indicates what the situation would be in event of enemy attack. While urging the home economists to be ready with their professional help, the authors pay gieat tribute to the work of the community organizations who carried out the feeding program during the Kansas flood. "It is encouraging to see the common purpose that draws people together when disaster comes to a community. The simple, basic, practical things that people can do for each other nelp to ease the impact of catastrophe and turn the mind from despair," the authors conclude in the article, "Red Cross Fights Flood Disaster." r POULTRY FOR SALE ROASTERS -- STEWERS Pan Ready -- Packed For Deep Freest 50c' per lb. ^CHAFER'S .« PHONE 508-M-2 West ob Route 190 to West McCullom Lake Black Top First House North on West Side of Read.

This is indicated by an Institute analysis of one month's claims in the United States. Applied to the year's probable total of death claims, the one month's distribution would indicate that th!s year, wives, children and relatives will be beneficiaries of some 1,200,000 life insurance policies, with total benefits about $1,400,000,000. Wives and children alone would account for $1,225,- 000,000. In addition, they will receive a considerable share of the 7 percent of claims and 14 percent of benefit payments which go to estates and other benefieiaries. excepting husbands. Husbands were shown to be beneficiaries in 11 percent of the policies, although they received only 4 percent of aggregate benefits, reflecting the smaller average size of policies owned by women. The month's claim analysis also revealed that, while the majority of death claims were paid on policies which had been in force a number of years, there was a large number in the early life of policies, even in the first year. Although great care is taken in selecting applicants, with those to whom policies are issued being In apparent relatively good health, nearly 5 percent of policies becoming death claims were found to be less than a year old. T^is would Indicate that this year there will be some 70,000 death claims within a year of issuance of policies, with nearly $100,000,- 000 involved. Nearly one-sixth of all claims were shown to be under policies less than five years old. Almost 40 percent of the claims and just over 40 percent of the amount of benefits paid were under policies te force 20 years or more. lOO^OOTH LOAN Clarence H.

In 1950 they paid $140,762,671- for this type of protection, including not-for-profit hospital and medical service plaps, an increase of 482 per cent over the amount paid in 1940 for similar coverage. State Director of Insurance Edward jl)ay, in a report disclosing this large increase, notes also an 88 per cent incre^ie during the tea-year period in the value of life insurance policies held by Illinois residents, bringing the total to $18,509,723,249 in 1950.

Mosquitoes Eat Dog (Food) li Uniqoo Clinic Stnilos Three million radioactive labeled mosquitoes raised on tap water and finely ground dog food containing radiophosphorous or a phosphate derived from it, were recently used in experiments conducted by the Chemical Corps Medical Laboratories of the Army in order to determine insect flight ranges. With the constantly increasing human activity in northern regions, the study of arctic and subarctic species of biting insects has assumed great importance. Control of the enormous numbers of mosquitoes that occur in most arctic .".nd subarctic areas is difficult even with large scale spraying. Even after such sprayinfi it has been; established that reinfestation from the surrounding territory may occur rapidly. Accurate knowledge of the flight range and dispersal patterns of the important types of biting flies is, needed in order to increase the effectiveness of control measures. In this particular research project the region near Churchill, Manitoba* was selected. This region is on the timberline. and has enormous mosquito populations which include both tundra and conifer forest species Radioisotopes were used as tracers. Adult mosquitos wer» also made .radioactive by feeding them on radioactivated rats and rabbits, raisins, flowers, and sugar solutions. Australian Dii|M Dingos of Australia are the most doglike of the wild members of the canine family. Resembling dogs in character and physique, they have one wolflike characteristic in the bushy tail, which is about halfway between that of a wolf and a dog of similar coat. IF IT'S WORTH DOING It's Worth Doing Right Light and Metal Light can cause metal to move i Light exerts pressure and can cause actual motion of an object It is this pressure of light on the small particles that make up the tall of a comet that pushes them away from the Sun so that the tail of a comet is always away from the Sun whether it is approaching or receding.
