e* g H .. J | J1 . J |P P Putt Is Transmitting Agent for Rare Disease " physicians f of the U. S. Indian service in Arizona rcently discussed results of their research in o rare disease, San Joacquin fever, an infection so closely resembling tuberculosis, the germs can be told ?pnrt only, by exhaustive microscopic inspection/ The only other place the disease has been identified to date is among the Indians of the San Joacquin valley In California, from which it obtains its nam$. " . . Joseph Aronson, who has been *? studying the disease five years, recently was joined in his research by Ur. Chester W. Emmons, Philadelphia, connected with the U. S. health service. It was disclosed the physicians so far have made studies of 704 Indian children, who showed negatives jn tuberculin skin tests. Of these 87 were found to have calcified nodules, evidence of having had San joacquin fever at some previous time, Eighty-six children tested on one reservation, who had been infected with the disease, showed that immunity apparently is attained by those who recover. Dust, supposedly is the transmit? ting agent for the disease. It is a coccodiodin infection that travels much the same course as tuberculosis, with the same symptoms, but the tuberculosis bhccilus is not present. Various methods of treatment were discussed^ ,but these have not passed the clinical stage ... It was reported cattle are Busceptible to the disease and have been found infected in the same districts vjhere humans are suffering from it. Electric Shocks Being ; Testecl for Safety Sake How much of an electric shock: can a man or woman take without being hurt by That is oneffol the latest problems which have been Interesting some of the research professors at the University of California,! where electric currents have been tested out on nearly 200 subjects to see how much they could stand. 1 Everyday hazards from electric t shock have been increasing In the past years because so many new electrical devices have been added, to man's equipment. Electri fences are used to keep cattle in?or in-' trudefti out?but are not meant to, electrocute anyone. Insect traps, on the other hand, are "electric chairs" ' for bugs but should not harm people, j Numeroiis home appliances have ex-, posed electrodes, capable of giving a shock. The recent experiments, which are expected to help manufacturers to improve the design and safety of( electrical devices which might cause harm, consisted of asking the subject to hold a copper wire while the "juice" was turned on?a small amount at a time. Then the subject was told to drop the wire. If he could let go without difficulty the electric current was not too strong for him. In real life this would mean that a person would not "freeze" on to a wire. For men, on the average, the experiments indicated "the safe noninterrupted 60-cycle current is eight to nine milliampeecs." Women and children probably would have a safety range that is less than this. Snakes Are Unloved Friends Ever since a serpent's suggestion resulted in the expulsion from Eden, mankind Has abhorred snakes. They are feared unreasonably, killed unmercifully. But the villain of God's garden is much misunderstood. He is really a very useful inhabitant of the earth. To the U. S. farmer, snakes are worth millions of dollars a year because they are nature's most efficient check on rodents. If unmolested, rats, mice and squirrels would multiply fantastically and the great farm damage they do would become appalling. Barnyard snakes sometimes sndtch eggs but they are mostly interested in mice or rats. Although snakes kill birds, the rodents they kill are worse bird enemies than snakes. , Poisonous snakes, of course, are tad. They kill about 150 U. S. citizens a year. But snakes will attack men only if alarmed. Only Ihree snakes habitually chase men? the king cobra of the East, the mambas of Africa and the taipan of Australia. Snake misconceptions cure, innumerable. Snakes aren|t sp wise as men think. In one test they proved less smart at solving mazes than mice. They don't feel clammy but can be as sleek and dry to the touch as a piece of old ivory. New Rind White Bread A new bread?a white bread?containing all the nutritious qualities of wholewheat bread, is now being offered the housewife. This feat of adding the vitamin quality of wholewheat bread to white bread is accomplished by the use of vitamin concentrate in the bread formula itself. it does not change the color, flavor or any other features of the bread. It simply makes a fhore nutritious product. The snowy whiteness we have been educated to like is still there. This bread, like, any other bread, is good for toast, sandwiches, in recipes and for just plain eating with your meals. Its flavor and freshness are popular features.

But why ddes "Central" keep telling me every few minutes that?'-"the circuits or the line are busy and I am unable to reach your party." I already know without that Information that thero is some reason for me not getting my j connectipn. I believe it would be al-l right for Che operator to wait till she gets the party before making me throw* down my work a dozen times I to find out that she has not yet connected him or her. By reason of the fact that I haven't talked is evidence enough that she has not been able to make a connection. I * 2?Why do movies play music during conversations or talks or speeches on the screen? It's sensible to have music while a person Is singing, but hav1 lng music during dialogues or during everything else ' is just about like having sand in your turnip-greens. It keeps a person from hearing the real thing.' No matter what'e going on, there's got- to be music. Elver try to hear a person talk when a piano is being played or a band Is blowing J Well, it is just as difficult to hear what the actors are saying with all tof that fuss and tune-playing going on. Music is OK when the plctnre is an orchestra. 8?Nuther thing I can't understand: Why is it necessary fpr our movies to give a week or 10 days previews of several miputes each at every show? A short, sensible reference to what is coming during the next few days might be satisfactory, but audiences get worn to a fraxsle sitting up there for - almost unlimited periods being bored by tire-some, uninteresting cuts and didoes about what will be here or there from now on. The next thing to bore the gizzard out of an audience Is screen "ads". Well, I guess It's just like having to take a dose of castor oil when I alnt sick. 4?And I can't understand how certain Bolshevlcs and Communists and anti-Americans get by with everything short of murder in this country. If a rattlesnake or a mad-dog were to be running rampant over our land and country, biting and destroying people andT things, the?jJlfliWa [would at least be locked up for inrgu tlgation. But not bo with some of our so-called hlgher-upp. Owing to their free speech privileges, they furnish help and comfort and solace and sabotage benefits to the enemy, and dispense poison and lies and treasonable statements to the public generally and to the Hltler-ltes mostly. Employes of one airplane manufacturing company, on a single daily trip to work and back burn enough gasoline to fly a clipper from New York to Lisbon. " .... ... ... ' n Bettef Food For j A Stronger People 'iffUtritlon?or "Belter Diets for a Stronger l'eople", has become one of the moat important aeCtore of the "Food for Defeuse" campaign of the U. S, Department of Agriculture, according to II. P. DeLoaohb, Supervisor of Kefshaw county for the Fiuhu Security Administration. With a nutrition unit to be organitod in every county *ln the uution,-the Farm Security Administration is pledged to take part in the program, and will work in Kershaw county in cooperation with other agencies. Regional staff members of FSA in the Fifth Region (Alabama. Georgia, South Carolina and v Florida) have outlined the special part of FSA ^ in the program as Including: To increase the i consumption of "yellow" vegetables by 100 percent. To change old and inherited food habit* ... To induce the use of eggs, milk and vegetables and other "Protective" foods. -To supplement diets with foods to which farm families are accustomed but which are not used with best effects. " To work not only for production but distribution, education and bridging the gap between l?w incomes and needs. To link diet necessities with fundamental needs like longer tenure of land which will deveolp pastures, soil enrichment and improvement of living conditions generally. Farm Security families will be urged to grow wheat for home use, where practicable, to learn the use of handmills in some cases to grind the whole grain and use it iu breads -In place of refined and devitalized white flour. In most oAunties of the region, garden seed has been bought for the families through cooperative effort, j and new emphasis will*be placed on! raising and canning vegetables. Extension of the school- lunch program also will be sought as a big factor in better nutrition. "Every effort will be made," said Mr. DeDoache, to 'enrich the diets Of the low-income families on our pro-| gram. _ "Although this campaign has become a national movement, we feel that a special obligation rests upon the Farm Security Administration. "The work of the FSA, perhaps more than that of any other agency, lies among the groups of lowest income, among whom is likely to be found t^jgreatest number of persons underfio^n'ished to the extent that an alarming * number of its youth are found to be unfit for military service because of dietary deficiencies. "We shall work to see that diets of FSA families jaeaaucfl- up f" ike nutritional 'Gold Standard', which include?: one egg, two vegetables, one of which should be green or yellow; two fruits, one of which shall bo rich in Vitamin C, found abundantly In citrus fruits and tomatoes; some butter; breads, flour and cereal, most preferably alll whole wheat graifi or enriched."

Buy Coal Now; Let Trains Run ?? ,s The MtumlinHiH coal consumer, particularly the domestic user, will be assisting In national defense In a very substantial way by ordering and taking-delivery during the next three mouths of his coal supply for next full niut winter. The coal should be obtainable at prices which are not out of line with laat winter's prices less the usual summer discounts. Hieing industrial activity during the summer months will require increasing supplies of smaller sited coals. In coal mining, operators get a certain percentage of larger sited coals. During the burning season, these larger coals are in demand for domestic, use. During the spmmer, the demand for these oOuls drops* off. The Industry pervlously has tried to move tin He 'coals by offering them at a discount so as to avoid piling up stock or resorting to the wasteful device of crushing them. Despite discounts, the domestic consumers, retailers, and distributors have tended to hold buck their orders until the onset of the burning Tteason. This lias resulted in unbalanced production during the summer and a violent swing to heavy demand for domestic sizes In the full, In turn putting a heavy load on the transport system, both rail and lake. This year, when all Indications point to a peak transport load tliut will tax the railroad facilities, it is vitally important, both for the protection of the Nation's winter fuel supply at points of consumption and for smooth movement of production, that every consumer do his bit to move as much coal as possible before Labor Day. Here is a direct and substantial con'trlbution to defense In which consumers can participate. If- a substantial portion of the sixty million domestic coal consumers in the United States buy all or part of their winter fuel during the summer, mines working on industrial orders will be able to operate steadily. Coal cars, barges, and boats will be kept moving freely to consuming areas and back to mines at 1 docks for reloading. Vital defense industries dependent on an adequate Bupply of bituminous coal In fine sizes will be assured of a steady flow of fuel if mines are assured of a domestic market during the next few months. Orders can be placed for delivery at producers' con 9 ' 1 ' 1 ' . ' ; i.mm i,. i Mini .1 . i i ? veplonce within the discount period In which the order Is placed. It must bo recognised, of course, thwt millions of domestic, coal consumers have neither the storage space nor the funds necessary to L take winter fuel deliveries in advance. Here It is hoped that the, retail trade can help by greatly ox-j padding storage operations. Every I retail yard in Auierlua should be < filled to capacity by not later thun October 1. Whenever possible, this limit should bo reached by September. 1. In many instances it may be possible for retailors to arrange credit 1 for those (Nines tic consumers who. have storage space but cannot pay in full on delivery. Responsible retail 'dealers, in turn, can obtain bank credit on winter stocks. If not, under the established procedure of the RFC, loans are available to responsible retail coal dealers who have collateral yards, equipment and coal stocks or whose accounts receivable are satisfactory. The HFC loan offices throughout the country are prepared to act expeditiously upon applications for such loans. MoBt eastern and southern coals and some middle western and far western coals cau be stored without serious deterioration. Some coals of' high moisture content degrade rapidly as tlfey dry out, that is, they break up into smull sizes of slack. Such coals cannot be stored far in advance of use except by consumers who can burn them with the same efficiency as is obtained from larger size coals. Danger of combustion Is slight when sized coal is stored in relatively small quantities, such as are required for home heating. Coal dealers can advise consumers as to the storing qualities or this information can be obtained from the Office of the Bituminous Coal Consumers Counsel.
