Establish New Unit
of Young Communist
League In Montana

Raymond, Montana, January 20.
"A meeting was held at the Wan
KEEL School, northeast of Raymond,
last Saturday night, under the
auspices of the Young Communist
League. The purpose of the meet
ing was to establish unit of the
Young Communist League here.
Many young folks joined and there

fore long.
A lively anti-war discussion took
place. Art Wankel concluded the
discussion with a speech in which
he pointed out the inevitability OF
war under capitalism and the
present danger of an imperialisi
war and the preparation for the
attack on the Soviet Union.

In certain half-learned circles
in our country there was for a
time a widespread theory that the
collective farm was not advan-
tageous for the middle peasant.
Various Learned circles" attempt
ed to prove that the middle peas
ant joined the collective only be-
cause he was forced to do so in
order to escape the grain-collec-
tons. They upheld this theory by
asserting that during the first
few years Of the collective's ex-
istence the middle peasant had to
give up a certain portion of his
income in favor of the poor peas
ant and gained nothing from the
collective. Experience has COM
pletely refuted this theory. 1t is
disproved by the fact that the in
increase in the production of 3

Now that so many persons have cur
tailed hours. owing to business condi-
tions, time can be given luxurious
note because it permits one to do and
to enjoy in 1t what previously has been
impossible. It can be looked upon as
a temporary luxury, one to be made the
most OF while it lasts. The return of
a wanted job, when 1t comes, will be
so welcome that it may, and should.
seem like return of luxury. since it
permits one to meet expenses with de-
sired promptneSs.
The luxury Of home cooking is an
other thing which should be appreciated
to its full. The convenience Of ready
to-serve and ready prepared foods is
not underestimated, but there is some
thing about good home cookery which
cannot be surpassed. II you have 1t,
remember it is the thing craved by
hosts of persons who are away from

one of those which can be enjoyed by
every woman who is a homemaker, and
a luxury she can supply daily to her

In spite Of the fact, therefore, that
X-rayS do not promise 100 per cent
cures, they believe that this form Of
treatment is the best single agent avail
able for acne, and when used with other
methods mentioned 1t promises the
patient more than any other known
treatment.
The treatment consists of weekly eX-
posure to the X-ray This was given
to each cheek if the acne was worse
along the sides CT the face. II, how
ever, the forehead, nose and chin were
worse, the exposures were given to the
full face. When the whole face was
affected, the treatments were alter
mated. One week the cheeks alone
we're exposed, and in alternate weeks
the treatment was given to the whole
face Treatment was stopped immedi-
ately on clearing up of the condition.
The number Of exposures varied from
5 to l8 treatments. The dosage given
each week consisted of one-fourth skin
unit of unfltered X-ray.
In regard to the cases where the
acne came back again after the treat
ment, it was found that the older the
patient the less likely was this to occur.
Either the younger patients ate more
carelessly, or the gland condition cauS-
ing the acne was more active.
However, if the X-ray is going to
bring about a complete cure in even
this percentage of cases, it will be a
welcome addition to the present treat
ment of this embarrassing ailment.

conclusion that the male, when he

that the females once had ears and
lost them through disuse. Perhaps
they learned not to listen to the things

I think it is just as likely that the
sound is emotional only in nature, and
not of any practical uSe-like the sup

angry person, the watering Of the
mouth in a hungry person. The male,
if he is as deaf as the female, does not
hear the sounds he makes nor any
sounds at all; it is by accident that his
muscles produce a vibration that. fall

pitch and intensity. 1t is we who, on

the ciCada females, for the cry OF the
cicadas makes us think of sun-burnt
grass, the cawing of crows, the ripen-

of ice in glasses and all that goes with

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

~ 9TH raw and cooked fruits are
- essential in the diet of the
child from two months on.
- Orange juice and tomato juice
are the two fruit Juices that
appear oftenest in the small child's
diet. Banana is the raw fruit pulp that
is usually offered.
The rest of the fruits are most safely
cooked before serving Apples may be
baked, or cut into pieces, peeled, and
steamed. or cooked until tender and
run through wire sieve. Prunes and
apricots or peaches, il dried, should be
of good quality, should be well washed
and soaked over might, then cooked un-
til tender and sieved. A little sugar
may be added for flavoring, though 1t
is well to aceustom young children to
enjoying the natural flavor Of fruit.
sIeved fruits of many kinds may be
purchased in cans or glass jars, ready
for instant use. They are convenient
to keep on hand.
When the child is past infancy,
cooked. but not raw, peaches and pears
NAV be added to the diet. Hot weather
is the very worst time to experiment
with strange raw fruits. If the child
has orange or tomato juice daily, there
is no real reason for serving other
fruits raw.
Strawberries. blueberries, raSpberrles,
cherries and blackberTieS are best kept
out of the childs diet until after the
fifth year. Some authorities say the
seventh year. When there is diver
gence Of opinion, it is plain that there
is no real necessity for such fruits In
the diet and probably some harm.
The fact that any particular cnlo
has eaten fruit with no obvious dlSas-
ter is not a criterion of harmlessness.
Rules of diet are made for the majority,
not the minority. 1t Is often not the
fruit itself that is so dangerous as the
fact that hot weather puts the system
in condition to resent strange foods.
One of nv vivid memories is Of a
visit to a farm 10 miles out OF town.
It was during cherry season, ana my
small friend and I arrived just beiore
lunch. after a thrilling trip in a douole-
seated buggy behind two smartly trot-
ting horses The orchard was a mass
of cherries, and hungry as we were we
ate our fill unmolested. Our moVherS
had forgotten that one warning.
That night I awoke to a frantic
punching in the ribs. My young friend
was doubled up with pain. The young
miss spent the rest Of her weeks visit
recuperating from her cherry orgy.
There are so many fruits which are
safe for children to eat that it seems
unusally foolhardy for any one to
experiment with those which are OF
dubious value.
