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.

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
