I I H . _ -1 ' !-!?-ju-ij-n r;; umuai White and Black P epper Comet From Same Vine' Most of the pepper which appears on our tables comes from the Orient. The United States and Canada import about 27,000 tons of pepper each year. This is an average of six ounces a year for each person. There are several kinds of pepper, but black pepper is by far the most common. It is obtained from the fruit of a vine which grows in Java, Sumatra, and other islands of-the East Indies, also in the Philippines and, to some extent, in the Wesi\ Indies. The pepper plant climbs a tree like ivy. In placOsc. where people make a living byjraising it, they set UP roles on which It can climb, or plant trees for the same purpose. The vine gets along well in the shade. Small green berries grow in clusters on the pepper vine. They are about the size of peas. While they still are green, they are picked and are dried in the sunshine, or over a slow fire. . As they dry, they turn black. Later they are ground into a powder. So-called white pepper is obtained from vines of the same kind. The berries are not picked while green; they are left on the plant until they are ripe, and have a deep red color. Then they are washed and dried. The soft parts of the berries are removed f and the seeds are ground into white pepper."'"; "" "* Pepper was used in Europe during ancient times. It was very costly, since it had to be brought from the Orient. Kings and princes of the Middle ages were much pleased when anyone gave them such a fine present 'as five or six pounds of pepper1 Important Dietary Needs Are Found in Vegetables Vegetables contain a ' fair share of the nine most important dietary essentials listed in the National Research'council chart issued in connection with, the National Nutrition Conference for, Defense called by President RooSevelt in Washington. Milk and meat, particularly liver and kidney, supply the rest of them. Many other foods also contain one or more of the vitamins and minerals?fruits, eggs, whole grain cereals and vitamin-fortified bread, to name a few. Take vitamin A, which the National Research council committee determined should be taken by an adult at the rate of 5,000 units a day, and by children at from 1,500 to 6,000 units, depending on age. Vitamin A is needed for good vision in dim light (it prevents night blindness) and is necessary to protect the mucous membrane lining the throat, [ nasal passages and other parts of the body. The richest vegetable source listed in various vitamin assay tables is kale. One cup of leaves, uncooked, has 37,000 units of vitamin A, according to a table published by one research authority. Another authority gives 36,260 units in a half cup of the cooked greens? or enough for the day's requirement of six people. Old-fashioned dandelion greens, which you can reap without sowing, as any suburbanite can testify, ranks No. 2 as a vitamin A source, with 35,000 units in a half cup of cooked greens. . Swiss chard ranks next at 24,080 in a half cup cooked or 24,000 in Vh cups raw. Found in Bible Two hundred men once went to a dance to get themselves wives, and did so. A man added 15 years to his life by prayer. Another man was condemned to death for saying his prayers. An army lost more than 99 per cent of its strength one day, gained a great victory the next day. One man caused the defeat of the whole army of which he was a part. The trees in the Garden of Eden envied a king. A great sermon was preached from a staircase. An eagle planted a tree. Forty-two thousand men lost their lives because they mispronounced a word. A prophet's life was saved by a colored man. Two men killed 20 in a fair fight. A man is jdescribed as fleeing from a bear and meeting a lion. A man committed suicide in order to kill his enemies. All of these aAd many other curious and interesting things are to be foUfid in the Bible. Can Cure Own Ills Every man can be his own medicine chest, in the opinion of Dr. Charles H. Wood, who addressed the National Chiropractic convention at the Los Angeles college of chiropractic recently. "The secretions of many diseases,he explained, "have within them the essentials to bring about cures. Animals, by picking their wouhdi, reintroduce Into their bodies the germs which set up 'antibodies* as immunizing agents. 'In somewhat similar fashion man can make use of the secretions of many external, afflictions and some internal disorders by mixing them with distilled water and painting them on a briskly rubbed spot on the back to ad as something akin to vaccination."- . r . Sleeping on Train Pullman berths are made up so that the passenger's head points toward the front of the car. There Is no advantage from this except that the head will not be bumped against the hard steel partition if there Is a sudden start of the train. The direction of the head has nothing to do with sleep or circulation. Use Milk Can to . Preserve Blood Scientist* Find Method to Refrigerate Liquid for Army Emergencies. CHICAGO.?Two scientists have recommended the common Milk can as an effective means of storing /mood for army emergencies "under "Sit military conditions." The "milk can" bank waa explained by D^. Elmer L. De Gowin and Robert C. Hardin in War Medi-> cine, published by the American. Medical association and the national research council's medical division. Terming the product of their investigation "a new, simple method for collecting, storing and transporting humaneblood plasma," the Iowa City, Iowa$fphysician8 said they had developed and tested a bank which would have the following recommendations: L. Practical usability undef^^ehefi fire. s i Ability to withstand long distance shipment in any vehicle. Easy maintenance by a supply sergeant or other enlisted man. Use limitld only by accessibility of snow or cracked ice for repacking every 18 to 24 hours. Make Many Tests. The doctors disclosed that the new preservation method was equally applicable to whole blood and blood plasma (fluid part without red cells) but stressed the significance of plasma. . \ ' ,J Physicians consider plasma of vital military importance because it can be used for quick transfusions without matching the type of the patient. De Gowin and Hardin made the principal. unit of their bank by fitting large glass flasks, in common use in hospitals, with rubber stoppers allowing self-closing needle punctures. Tests showed the flasks could be immersed in ice water for long periods without leakage, and the contents safely administered directly from the flasks. They found that the red cells would precipitate in 24 to 48 hours so the plasms could be siphoned into another flask. This discovery Eliminated separating of red cells from plasma by "centriftigation," an impractical method when applied to large scale production because it requires "many centrifuges of large capacity not now in existence." Next, the scientists developed a delicate temperature indicator, simple enough for layman or soldier to read. A supply sergeant or someone else, the doctors said, could discard flasks whose indicators showed; proper temperatures had not been j maintained. Find Milk Can Best. Searching for economical refrigeration containers, Hardin and De Gowin discovered after several experiments that "the commercial type of 10-gallon milk can" Was most practical. CoverwK^h insulated jackets, such ckns accommodate 10 flasks and enough ice for 12 to 24 hours. "The transportation of blood in these individual refrigeration units ought to be particularly practical under shell Are," the doctors said, "for the cans could be disburseckin many types of vehicles so that some would almost certainly arrive at their destination." To test the banks, the physicians shipped two consignments of cans, one 720 miles by automobile and one 3,539 miles by airplane. The contents in both shipments were transfused to hospital patients requiring such treatment. From 40 transfusions, there was i only one unfavorable reaction, that of a patient suffering chills and fever. - ' > Falcons Shot Down to Safeguard Wat Pigeons LONDON.?The air ministry has declared war to the death on the peregrine falcon?the slayer of carrier-pigeons. J The predatory activities of these "fifth columnists" of the British air might well have led to secrets of vital national importance being found by the enemy in the nesting places of these birds In the cliffs of Solwsy. * Every day now in the Solway district of Dunfries and Cumberland raiding parties go out to destroy the birds. Since the war began carrierpigeons have been doing important work for the R.A.F. Lately men In authority were Worried by the nonarrival of some of these birds and the loss of messages that might have played an.important part in the air conflict. , ^ Investigation showed that the j birds were not shot down by Nazis, but were killed by falcons, which are numerous along certain shores of Britain.

Squuh Borer Difficult Insect to Discourage A year or so ago a writer in one of our prominent horticultural journals recommended dipping corncobs in hot tar and placing the cobs, when cool, around infested plants. A method used by old, experienced gardeners is to place shingles around the plants at night, the idea being that the insects gather under the Boards, which can be lifted in the morning when the bugs are still inactive. It is well to examine the underside of the leaves of infested plants, for on these shaded surfaces we usually find egg clusters. These must be rubbed off immediately. Cabbage worms will, in a short time, be arriving in great numbers. White hellebore applied freely over the surface of the leaves is effective in controlling these crawlers. Pyrethrum, tobacco dust or even ordinary road dust, sprinkled into the plant, usually helps in eradicating these pests. One very large commercial grower said that he depend" ed entirely on road dust to keep his cabbage patch free from worms. The squash borer is a difficult insect to destroy or even to discourage, the reason being that the grubs tunnel their way through thS stem of the plant, preventing the normal flow of nourishment to the leaves. As a result pf the activities of the squash bug, the leaves gradually wither and die. " The eggs and freshly hatched larvae can be destroyed by applications of nicotine sprays. Of course, one application will have little effect on the bugs, but constant spraying, especially when applied with a forceful sytinge, will have the de?* aired effect. Fyrethrum, whiph is non-poisonous, may also be used to destroy the egg* and freshly hatched larvae of these destructive pests. -r*?? ?, New Caledonia Gains Strategic Importance . Until German panzer units smashed France last year, New Caledonia was merely a French island 700 miles off-the northeast coast of Australia, 248 miles long by 30 miles wide, populated by some 60,000 people, mostly Negroes. But the fall of France gave New Caledonia a strategic importance. It is rich in vital war minerals?nickel, chrome and iron. Japan is eyeing the island, well aware of its proximity to Australia?only Ave hours flying time. There have been reports of Japanese military and commercial infiltration. New Caledonia would make a splendid naval base and with Vichy apparently controlled by the Axis, anything can happen. There are mountain ranges encircling the capital of Noumea. Here ! hibiscus, crotons, poincianas, lan-. tanas, and guava bushes grow in abundance. .JNoumea, is alao the site of the nickel works of New Caledonia. The citizens are ^oti-Petaln, proDe Gaulle. They wanted to send an expeditionary force of 500 to fight the Germans in France, but the British command prevailed upon them to keep the men at home for , island defense. ? Keep-Em-Happy Club Soldiers in Camp Roberts are grateful to their girl friends for forming the Keep 'Em Happy club, but they are a little miffed at the egotistical set of rules set forth. When joining the club a girl agrees to the following: 1. To refrain from mentioning my dates with.other men when I write to a soldier. 2. To be honest with a soldier in camp and not lead him to believe I am being true to him when I am not. 3. If my feelings toward a soldier change, I will not cause him mental anghish by simply stopping my letters to him, but will let him know, as quickly as possible, that there is. someone else. 4. I .will remember at all times that the soldier i? serving his country and should be entitled tp the utmost , consideration whan other men compete with him ?6r my attentions, , Stove on Proper Laval You can raise your cooking stove to the proper height for working by setting the legs on neat blocks of Wood. Another method which some women find even better is to build a platform foy the stove. Do you know how to find out what is the most convenient working height for yourself at stove, ironing board and sbficT There aro.two methods. For the first one, stand up straight and bang the arms straight down; the palms of the hands should rest fist upon the working surface. If not. the eqtiipmeW should be raised until this requirement is met. The other method is to stand straight, bend the elbow, allowing a slight slant of the arm downward. Mountain Town Sliding Canon City, Colo., is slipping. That Ti TSW a reflection on Its character, but on actual fact. This mountain town is sliding gradually to the south and east?directly toward the Arkansas river. At least that is the finding of Water Commissioner Fred Breckner and of Acting Manager Smith Bedall of the Canon Gas company. There to no need for this generation?or even ' this generation's Sgodchildren-?to worry. They'll" long dead before any great con earn need be shown. Bedell and Brackney said. ~ Canadian Life Revised by War Old Industries-Transformed, New Ones Created; Half Million in Uniform. OTTAWA. ? Two year* of war have altered drastically the pattern of Canadian life. Canada declared war on Germany in September, 1939. Whole industries have been transformed to suit the purposes of war. New Indus tries have been created. Production of strategic raw materials has been expanded to record heights. Half a million Canadians have put on uniforms; more than 100,000 are serving overseas. Old taxes have been Jacked up; new taxes have been added; $1,380,000,000 has been borrowed from the public. The government's war expenditures are at the rate of $2,000,000,000 a year?almost 40 per cent of the national income. Canadians In the current fiscal year will have to give up, directly or Indirectly, about 60 cents of every dollar earned. The government's policy is payas-you-gO* Between 73 and 79 per cent of federal expenditures in the current fiscal year are expected to come out of revenue. Taxes Boosted. As a result, many Canadians in the middle-income brackets will be paying from Q to 10 times as much income tax as in 1939.. In addition, there are new taxes on gasoline, travel fares, theater admissions and the like, and sharp increases in the taxes on automobiles, radios, cameras, phonographs, liquor, tobacco, sugar, beer, wine, cosmetics and other "luxuries." Canada's navy of 13 ships and 3,600 men with which it entered the war has grown to 200 vessels and nearly 25,000 men. The active army, then 4,500 men, today consists of 220,000 volunteers, all available for service. In the Royal Canadian air force are 55,000 volunteers, many already serving overseas, the others at the 65 schools and more than 100 air fields of the British commonwealth air training plan. In manpower the RCAF has increased 12-fold and they are being trained faster than planes can be built for them. About 600 experienced Unitdti States pilots are among the instructors. Some 10 per cent of the RCAF personnel consists of United States citizens. Student airmen also are in training from Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the empire. Steel Output Jumps. Patrolling the sea-lanes of the North Atlantic, the navy had lost some 400 "men up to mid-summer. The RCAF listed around 300 killed or missing. The army, whose overseas units have been stationed most of the time in Iceland or England, listed 56 killed; 84 missing, 214 died apd 150 wounded up to June 20. . Canada's industrial expansion has been as phenomenal as any phase of her war effort. Output of alloy steel has jumped 500 per cent since the start of the yirar; aggregate steel production has been almost doubled. Automobile factories have delivered more than 120,000 motor vehicles. Aircraft production, in its infancy whexl the war began, has been stepped up to 180 planes monthly. Shipyards employing more than 20,000 workers, compared to 1,500, are rushing construction of .freighters, mine-sweepers, corvettes, auxiliary cruisers and hundreds of smaller -craft.???: :? " : ~ Aluminum production has reached the point where Canada could provide metal for 50,000 planes a year/ In 1938 Canada exported $24,000,000 worth of aluminum to 59 countries. In a two-month period this year the Aluminum Company of Canada received orders from the United States slone aggregating $126,000,000. ~ Find Churchill Eligible To Membership in S.A.R. SYRACUSE, N. Y.?The genealogical committee of Syracuse chapter, Sons of the American Revblution, has determined that Winston Churchill, British war premier, is eligible for membership in the organization through three 'ancestors who served against England in the war that freed the American colonies. ! The ancestors were Sgt. Samuel Jerome, Ma J. Lebbeus. Ball and Pvt. Reuben Murray. Members of the Jerome family settled at Pompey, Onondaga county, after the Revolution and the prime minister'* mother was Jennie Jerome.

Department of Agriculture?more furm vegetable gardens, more farm fruit gardens, more community plot end; school gardens, conservation of flowers, lawns, rind shrubs, t: "Of course we must consider gai denlng first of all as a part of the ^ national food production program, and that means a good garden for every South Carolina farm family and many town and village families, suya ; ' vegetable and fruit gardens are one of the host means of insuring a strong healthy people to tackle the many . Jobs ahead of us right now." The Conference recognised that national stock pilos of food must he accumulated; that shipment of food to the people of Britain and all countries enrolled in the cause of democracy may become the douiding ^factor In Ujla war; that, while present Supplies are well capable of taking care, of our present needs, the Nation must insure ample suppllos a year or two hence. Another thing urged by the Conference Is that every effort be made to plan Victory gardens so as to make <* them fit in closely with Nutrition. Committees and Civilian Defense Councils in each state and community. The Victory Garden Program Offers iwidest possible wartime participate citltens not engaged in the tary seryjee, or emergency seris of civilian defense.
