MORE THAN ONE WAY
TO KILL A DUCK SAYS
MEDICAL BULLETIN

Coming to the front in support
of the old axiom, There is more
than one way to kill og without
choking him. a recent Minnesota
State Medical bulletin tells of an
other cause of death to wild
ducks in southern Minnesota.
Heretofore it was only thought
common to kill duck by some
forceful method but it has been
found upon investigation that the
main cause of death Of hundreds of
wild ducks in the southern part of
the state has not been tularemia
such as rabbits suffer with but
rather lead shot which lie on the
bottom of the shallow lakes and
which are picked up by these fowl
in their quest for food.
The bulletin points out that ba-
bies can get a serious case of
lead poisoning by sucking on the
paint of their cribs and young
children can get it by chewing on
their pencils, but this is a newly
found cause of death for wild
ducks. The bulletin states that
the shallow lake beds are covered
with lead shot and the ducks are
being lead poisoned, which also
goes to show that if you don't get
your duck when you shoot at him,
then you might camp there until
he goes down after your shot in
the bottom of the lake.

UNSIGNED COPY LIKE
UNSIGNED LETTER

Copy coming into the newspaper
office can be likened to an un-
signed letter. 1t says lot, pos
sibly, but the one getting it does
not know from whom it comes. AS
has been said before in these col
umns unsigned copy may be au-
thentic in every respect and with
holding it from publication is no
evidence of the editors doubt as
to the truthfulness of the writer,
but on the other hand if it is not
correct and if the principals of the
item complain to the newspaper,
then the editor will have some ex-
planning to do in regards to the
source of his information. There
fore to be fair to every one COPY
must be signed to insure publica-
ton.
Recently some copy has been sent
to the American and this has been
withheld because of no signature
being attached to it. Please sign
your copy. The name of the sender
is not published in connection with
news items if not desirable to him
or her.

PRESSURE COOKING
DEMONSTRATED At
WARDS THIS WEEK

A demonstration Of particular In
terest TO housewives will be held all
this week at the Montgomery Ward
store. 731 Main street.
They will learn how, with mod
ern pressure cooking. 4 whole meal
can be thoroughly and taStily cook
ed il 10 minutes actual cooking
time. against the usual methods
taking several hours.
No woman wants 10 stay in the
kitchen longer than necessary, no
matter how interested she may be
in the food being prepared. Every
woman should be as efficient in her
household jobs as she expects her
husband to be in his line of en-
deavor; therefore, TO cook scienti-
fically she accompliSheS three
things; she saves a vast amount of
time; she cooks the food better;
and she eliminates constant per-
sOnal watching, stirring, scraping
or turning such as the ordinary
cooking requires in attention. Pres
sure cooking cooks food in its own
Juices and retains the precious
BODY building yitamins and mineral
salts that usually escape in ordi-
nary cooking. Steam pressure cook
ing is recommended by health au-
thorities. dieticians and home eco
nomic experts everywhere.
The fact that the Windsor pres
sure cooker, being featured in this
demonstration at Wards has been
tested and approved by the Good
Housekeeping Institute is a rec
ommendation that speaks for itself.
Pressure cookers are also endorsed
by the department of agriculture
and are the only safe way of cam
ming non-acid fruits and vegetables.
They are approved by the National
Gamers Laboratories, Home Can
ners' association and home makers.
Housewives and students in cooking
school classes are particularly in
Vited to see the demonstration Of
cooking complete meals in 10 min
utes and to taste the improved fla
yor Of food when perfectly cooked
with all the precious juices, Vita
minis and mineral salts retained.
