Seven Ordinary Foods Contain All Vitamins One organization recently pub linked o aeries of practical, down-toearth suggestions for applying the theory of nutrition to the task of putting out three square meuls a day. Here are the rules that ure recommended us un ubsolute minimum for health: No. I. A sound foundation for buoyant health can be built with seven ordinary foods: Milk, meats, sea food, eggs, green vegetables, fruit, and breud with adequate vitumina, No. 2. As fur as you possibly can, see that you eat every day at least: A pint of milk so as to got some vitamin A, some of the B vitamins, good proteins and plenty of calcium. Enriched breud or biscuits or wholewheat bread or wholcgrain ce-\ reals?and use enriched flour so as to get B vitamins und minerals. A tomato, an orange, a grapefruit, or their Juices, so us to. get plenty of vitamin C. A big helping of green leafy vegetables, or sometimes yellow ones, raw or lightly cooked so as to get more vitamin C, more vitamin A, and minerals. Eggs or lean meat or sea food so as to get more proteins, several B vitamins and iron. And finally, an apple, a peach, a pear or other fruits in season so as to get added minerals and vitamins. No. 3. Then, unless your doctor has you on u special diet, cat anything else you like, including the necessary fats. Cancer Core Decreased By X-Ray Treatment A new technique in radium or X-ray treatments for external cancer was announced in the journal of the American Medical association. The innovation, called the "method of concentration,'* Involves not only the amount of irradiation but also the area. Dr. Max Cutler of Chicago, who . originated the technique, reported it had a more pronounced efYect on certain resistant forms of cancer ot the mouth, pharynx and larynx than methods now in u,se. Ho discovered some cancers, which had failed to respond to other forms of external irradiation, were reduced rapidly or in many instances disappeared under the new method. Cancer's more resistant to radium treatment require a larger daily dose of rays and shorter total treatment, 12 days or less, Dr. Cutter learned. He found also more powerful treatments could be given by gradually decreasing the diameter of the exposed area?something like focusing a spotlight first to make a large area and then reducing it slowly to a tiny spot. The reason for this is that the core of a cancer is the most resistant to treatment, but if the whole area is exposed enough to destroy the core, there is danger of damaging healthy tissue. Technique Cuts Pain A radically new technique in the | treatment of infantile paralysis, known as the Kenny method, has received the support of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, President Basil O'Connor revealed. Named after Sister Elizabeth Kenny, an Australian nurse, the new method is a revolutionary departure from methods now employed in American hospitals. Its main point is abandonment of the use of splints. Sister Kenny, who,, has been conducting studies at the University of i Minnesota hospital und the Minneapolis General hospital since the summer of 1941, has been able to reduce pain and prevent deformity in some of the cases she has treated. The treatment primarily consists of gentle exercise and massage of the muscles and administration of hot packs and hot baths to victims in early stages of the disease. License for Pickets Pomona, Calif., has an ordinance requiring pickets to take out licenses at the rate of $3 a day for not more | than two pickets and $1 a day each for additional pickets. Pomona argues that the presence of pickets requires additional policing and that this cost is an unfair burden on the taxpayers of the city. In this connection, the New York labor commissioner ruled that 1 unions hiring pickets thereby be- | come employers and must pay un- ; employment, social security and other taxes on them, und also become subject to all the other restrictions on employers The Pomona picket license docs not apply to genuine strikers picketing a former employer, but to picketing by outsiders and picketing of places where there is no dispute between workers and employers. Silk Hosiery Rot? Rot Women who stored in a supply of silk stockings to beat a shortage due to the silk "freezing" order today may rest easily Exploding the theory that silk stockings rot when stored for a long time, silk experts said that silk is one of the most durable of fabrics. Silk hosiery manufacturers reported that their research departments conducted tests on stockings stored for three years and found no weakening of the silk threads. Ik. 9? i Anzac Defenders i ? MANNING AN OLD-FASHIONED Lewis anti-aircraft machine gun, three Australian soldiers search the sky over tropical, heavily-bombed Fort Darwin, in Northern Australia. Port Darwin, only 400 miles south of the embattled Netherlands East Indies, is the last Southwest Pacific naval base which can be used by the United Nations for an offensive action against Japan. It is strongly held by Anzac troops and militia, but the Australians need reinforcements and a steady supply of new, up-to-date equipment to defend the port effectively against the expected Japanese onslaught. COMMENTS ON MEN AND THING8 ' (My Spectator) Our moBt urgent need Is for ships which we can risk. If a battle ship goes out. it represents $80,000,000 of edst, 1,500 men in the crew, and four or five years of construction. Think over that, if we lose a battleship or a battle cruiser we need four years to replace It. Of course the $80,000,000 does not amount to anything. Furthermore we risk 1,500 trained seamen, and trained seamen can't be easilyreplaced. One bomb, one torpedo, one mine?and the great battle ship rests on the bottom. Probably $2,000,000 worth of airplanes will sink any $80,000,000 battleship. One submarine is to a battleship as a rattle snake is to a man walking through the woods. Even submarines have become costly, as well as big and intricate, requiring a year or two and several million dollars, as well as a highly trained crew. If we sentj out big cruisers and battleships they must be protected by flotillas at sea and planes overhead. Even then they may run into submerged mines. Why do we need battleships? Primarily for gun power and long range. One battleship may have eight twelve-inch, fourteeninch or sixteeTi-tlVch guns, as well as numerous smaller guns. Roughly speaking. those guns have a range of sixteen miles or more, and the terrific propulsive power enables them to j hurl a shell weighing nearly a ton. | Rut what does it amount to if the ships are vulnerable that all are afraid to use them? It seems to me that a monitor type with two big guns or with several small guns could be thrown into battle or could be used freely to move in the enemy's territory. Ten monitors, altogether having the same number of | guns as one battleship", would be much more effective and much jess vulnerable. And if we had hundreds of mosquito boats to ram submarines and use a torpedo even battleships would dodge a small squadron of t them And we could risk them and run the etiemv down and tight any-j thing from a battleship to a submarine battleships are out of date. If we were to suffer a complete disaster ' at sea with what we have, we could easily improvise naval fighters, mosquito boats, monitors or whatnot to make any enemy afraid toi venture here. Rut the same fixedness of mind whiclb-has cost France her j sovereignty still the mind in authority. What we and the Rrlttsh need supremely is to tako the initiative, but we are afraid to risk our ships?j and rightly so. What we need is a; different type, one which we can afford to risk, carrying fire and sword, shot and shell, torpedoes and T. N. T. to the enemy, wherever he may be. Shall the state pay the expense of the recent Democratic Primary f Of Course not. The DemQctalicJ'arty controls in South Carolina, it is true, but our Democratic Primary is our private affairs, choosing among ourselves for a person who will represent. the party in the election. Hut. in truth, notwithstanding statutes relat- I lug to the Primary, it is a private mat-' tor for Democrats, not a stuto matter to bo operated at the expense of taxpayers. If the Republicans ordered a primary would the state pay for It? Yet, as a matter of luw, wo must not discriminate against Republicans. And if the Socialists call a Primary; or if our Old Age Association has a primary shall the state bear the cost of it? There -really would be money In the treasury of our State Democratic Party if the Kxecutive Commute had not so generously given it to the National Committe two years ago, as I recall. In view of the tendency of the day for the Federal courts to assume Jurisdiction in almost all matters, it wahld be wise to (keep our Primary free from the state treasury. 1 was one of those who publicly advocated the Santee-Cooper Project. At that~tirneM^not only urged many legislators to vote for the creation of the Authority, under which the work was done, but I wrote articles to the newspapers explaining the peculiar circumstances of the case, particularly the extraordinary fact that the colossal volume of water carried by the Santee is at an altitude forty two feet higher than the level of the Cooper river, at a point where they. are only twenty-six miles apart. That, | by the way, is the central and controlling reason for the Santee-Cooper Power Project. But I did not know that we were embarking on a flood tide of politics; and neither I nor anybody else, I think, foresaw the danger of a state monopoly of power, together with a power monopoly of the state. All the dangers which our people fear from tin; State-owned liquor business will be multiplied, in course of time, if we operate a state monopoly of power. The Santee-Cooper Anihorft\ should not be expanded by one jot. or title; it should operate as was contemplated, in competition with existing power enterprises. I am not expressing the attitude of the power companies; I am speaking as a citizen of South Carolina who has enough knowledge of our state politics, and enough imagination, to forsee. even at best, a great loss to our state through the killing of competition: and the Inevitable political control, for personal political Interest, of the energy which moves the .wheels of industry. A group of politicians would eventually- not now, perhaps, dictate the business of the state through control power. That Is not far-fetched idea buzzing in a cracked brain; I have seen men put out of business because of political control of water, in Irrigated regions. And if you think our politicians too good for that, let me cite n case four years ago. A dairyman lost all bis customers because he refused to support a certain man In office. Threats wero made against his equipment, even. And music instruments were thrown out of windows because they had not been bought from X or Y. who had political connections and protection! Keep tho Santee-Cooper just where It is. Let it generato power in competition with the present power enterprises. Let us not foolishly set np another political octopus in South j Carolina. By the way, how has the Santeo Cooper Impressed Itself on the state? As a great business organization? Or has It seemed to bo a fountain of political favors? There are good men connected with it; some of them I appreciate and cherish as personal friends; I am not imputing anything wrong to them; but do you know of anything in South Carolina, operated by or through the state, which is not so full of politics that a citizen is almost compelled to deal, with it through politicians 7 Need a Laxative?
