ROM the standpoint of health the summer months const

Choose Cold Drinks Carefully

A cold drink is comforting on a

BEATING the Heat

There are several factors to
bear in mind when planning the
hot-weather diet. The first secret
of keeping cool is to supply the
body machinery with food fuel
that can be utilized with the least
expenditure of energy.
Warm weather is responsible
for muscular relaxation in the di-
gestive tract, as well as other
parts Of the body. And you run
the risk of digestive upsets, with
their discomfort and health haz-
ards, unless you make every ef-
fort to lessen the work of your
digestive system.
Eat lightly of rich fatty meats,
pastries, rich cakes, sauces and
gravies. At all times, choose cas-
lily digestible foods.

Compared to the engine in your
body, the one in your car is a
crude, rough affair that can stand
no end of punishment. Moreover,
the automobile is driven for a GER
tain length of time and then per-
mitted to rest. But the marvellous
mechanism which transforms
your food into blood, bone, mus
Gle, and your capacity for thought
and action is never wholly at
rest.
Il
Importance Of the Right Food
# the automobile engine re-
quires special attention, how
much more important to stoke
your body engine with food suited
to the weather!
No one would think of going
about in midsummer wearing the
same garments that were worn all
winter. Yet many women continue
to serve the same type of meals
which were required to keep the
body warm in winter. Such
practice is sure to make you mis-
cradle. But more than that, il
lowers resistance and may, there
fore, lead to illness.

Meeting The Challenge Of Hot

Of heat prostrations.

While abnormal heat or hu-
nudity may be a secondary cause,
the real reason behind much

ure to meet the challenge Of sum-

Automobile owners know that
no car is better than its engine,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1938-07-22

select protein foods that are more
easily digestible, as chicken,
lamb, lean beef and lean fish. Spe-
cial emphasis should be placed on
milk, cheese and eggs. These
splendid foods not only supply
Grade A protein, in an easily d.
gested form, but also fortify the
diet with minerals and vitamins.
~
Liquids Essential
To help you keep cool, the sum-
mer diet must include an album
dance Of liquids. These are neces-
sary to make up for the large
amounts Of moisture lost from the
body through increased perspira-
ton.
Liquids may be taken in the
form Of milk, fruit juices and cool
ing drinks made from pure water
and packaged beverage crystals
containing dextrose, fruit acid, fla
voring and coloring.

Hot Weather and Vifamin c
Two European investigators re-
Gently found that exposure to high
temperatures causes a so per cent
loss in vitamin C from the body
tissues. And lowered vitamin C
reserves are partially responsible
for that tired feeling SO. often ex-
perienced in warm weather. Their
research indicates that drinking
orange or lemon juice, which are
rich in vitamin G, actually helps
to mitigate the effect Of the heat.

time conditions would be vulnerable to modern air attack. The only war ship ever sunk by airplaneS was the Panay, destroyed in December by Japanese bombs in the Yangtze river, but that was not considered to be fair test. Navy 5-inch guns can hurl high explosive anti-aircraft shells nearly 50,000 feet in the air, higher than bombers can fly.
 3. There have been no tests with sandbag bombs against manned ves- sels although the old battleship Utah, especially fitted for experi- ments, has been the target of water bombs. Both naval and army flyers have bombed the Utah but officials refused to discuss results.
 4. Both navy and war depart ment officials asked why Italy, Japan and England would be pro- ceeding with battleship conStruc- tion if they had knowledge, as sug- gested, that airplanes were superior weapons.
 Maverick replied, in turn, to the navy and war department officers that their statements merely dem onstrated that they dared not ex- press an opinion contrary to the official opinion" of MT. Roosevelt that big navy was the best de- fenSe.

CHINA CARRIES
 WAR TO LAPS

 "An undiscernible number of Chi nese planes appeared at p. m. and again bombed, causing casualties at the town of Chikutch.
 Tn both cases the air defense repulsed the planes, which escaped .''
 Succeeding dispatches of the Domei News Agency, which first reported the raid, had increased the importance of the Chinese raid.
 Three Dispatches Sent
 The first Domei dispatch from Toihoku said that one airplane bombed the city at II a. m. But did no damage. A second dispatch said that one airplane dropped 10 bombs near the airport, but did mo serious damage" A third dispatch said that Chinese "airplanes" caused several casualties.
 Subsequent dispatches said that property damage was considerable and admitted that the Chinese planes bombed not only Taihoku put Shinchiku, on the west side ot the island 50 miles south of Taihoku. Several houses were destroyed at Shinchiku, it was said.
 Planes Elude Pursuit
 The Chinese planes flew high, the Domei dispatches said, and eludea pursuit. .,,
 Formosan army headquarters, in a communique on the bombing, said that Japanese planes had valnly pursued them.
 News of the raid reached Tokyo while the communications service was practicing air raid defense, cir culating messages throughout Japan proper regarding the approach of imaginary airplanes.

War Against Poverty Engages United States
Congressman Smith Sees Peace as Definite Objective of America-POstal Employees Hear Interest,"
 ing Address-City HOnOred

ITO what good purpose can our | United States link themselves with this endless chain of enmitieS and age-old international grudges? On the other hemisphere let children be assigned their natural enemies at birth, and if it is their destiny to grow to manhood to be destroyed in futile combat to gain another hollow victory in their ancient feud, let us not be misled with the thought that we have mission to help the best man win. This is our country. It is big enough for us and we have our won mission he,e 8 mission big enough for use,-to develop the re- sources in our possession.
 "IsOlationist"
 Tt is true, of course, that those who today give evidence of a prac- tical respect for the wisdom of the man who gave up the presidency in 1796 are apt to be Lxposing them selves to the epithet isolationist' from many sincere peopIe,-people and organizations who, according to their own sincere views, are also working for peace and for the prog ress in the arts and sciences which flourish during period whn ener- gies are released for peacetime en- terprise.
 "In this connection I think it is in order to say cautionary word against the careless use of labels. To dismiss any man or his opinion as 'isolationist' is only form of Scold- ing which unfortunately involves a complete or partial evasion of facts, and if program worth debat- ing it is surely worth an examina- tion of the facts.
 We run into similar situations in every phase of human activity on account of the widespread tendency for people to sell themselves into the slavery of labels.
 My personal fleeing is that any public issue which IS worth serious study is important enough for con- sideration on its merits and with view to all it's possible effects, even though the popular system of la belling public attitudes may be thrown out of joint by doing so.
 The question of war and peace is too big an issue to be dismissed by isolationists' or 'internationaliStS,' by 'militarists' or by 'paciflsts,' on the basis of labels and club mem bership.
 There was recently before the

in permanent rut. The unemploy- ment problem would be solved. cannot be too forceful in my de- nunciation of this attitude. This is the attitude of the man who throws his weeks pay into crooked gam bling machine on the principle of double or nothing.' My friends, it is never double; it is always nothing. War is plague and nothing better than a plague. The war of today rains bombs and poison gas, fire and bullets on civilians as we'll as on the men in uniform. And after the spree is over, any country which takes part in war must suffer all the ills ofbankruptcy,-bankruptcy of of eco- homie, spiritual and cultural values.
 To-day in Washington legislation is before the congress to provide for an increase in our naval strength. Opposition to this legislation is great. Support for it is also great. The mail of congressman is weighted heavily with communications on both sides of the question. Here again it is unfortunate that public thought tends to line up in camps.
 One sincere group of correspon- dents insists that a vote for the navy bill is a vote against peace. Some of the supporters of the legis- lation are obviously just as lacking in sound basis for their attitude. The labels are being brought out again and the labels always con- fuse the issue.
 Some critics of the navy bill in- sist that it can have only one mean ing, a determination to wage war of aggression. Although I am still giving consideration to the navy bill, I do not think this statement is necessarily true. The defense of our coasts under present-day conditions involves the necessity of repelling such naval equipment as aircraft carriers bring the planes to bomb not only our coasts but our interior as well. Anti-aircraft guns alone will not do this job. The coastal defense of today must begin outside the 12- mile limit.
 But it is necessary for this coun- try to have an adequate defense against a hypothetical invader? I think it is. But, we hear, no coun- try has designs against us. This will be all the more true if it is known that we can defend ourselves. Italy attacked Ethiopia and Japan attacked China. Neither Ethiopia nor China were equipped to defend themselves. If this proves that de- fenselessness invites war, then the corollary is true that a strong de- fense will avert attack. I do not see what we can lose by making our coasts secure against invasion"

 and anything that casts doubt on their usefulness is not for the pub lie to know"
 Maverick said air units demon strated in Pacific maneuvers their ability to locate an approaching fleet and that it had been demon strated that direct hits are not nec- essary to sink a man-of-war. A 2,000 pound bomb dropped alongside, he said, would disable big cruiser by force of concussion. After ves- Sels of the fleet were located in Pacific maneuvers, Maverick said the airmen "plastered them with sand bag bombs"
 The same amount of money sought for big battleships, invested in pursuit planes and bombers," Maverick continued, would make the United States invulnerable. If that is not true let 1t be proved un- true. Why keep the public in the dark. Or. if we are to be Saddled with huge navy of super-super ships, let it not be at the expense of neglecting our aerial defenseS.
 'The navy is now demanding that the army airplaneS stick to shore. The two services are in 8 jurisdic- tional dispute as silly as the fight between the CIO and the A. F. of L. The answer to that business is to coordinate the military and naval air units under single head, but that is not the immediate issue. The first question is, why in the inter- eSts of huge navy are pertinent facts censored and suppressed? Air. planes can sink battleships and the bigger the battleship the bigger the mark. Japan, England and Italy know it. Why are the American people not allowed to know it?"
 War and navy department officers to whom the foregoing questions were put, refused to permit their names to be used but replied, in ef- feet, as follows:
 1. There is no material conflict between the army and navy but rather closer cooperation than has existed for some years.
 2. No one here or abroad can say whether modern vessels under war

 Arthur o. Daley, of Bridgeport, was elected president of the Carriers, and John Asseier, of Bridgeport, was chosen president of the Clerks.
 Congressman Smiths address, in part, follows:
 T want today to say a few things about matters which are troubling in greater or less degree the minds of all of us. I want to talk little about war and peace. About war as being definitely not our aim. About peace as a positive goal which we must all keep clearly and res olutely before us. lest misguided thinking obscure it's importance, lest shrewd alien propaganda deceive us as to where our true interests lie, lest the contagion of the war tem- per infect our national spirit.
 "The spirit. the American ideal, has it's own enemies to conquer at home; the American people have still to win their fight against pov- lerty, against disease, against social injustice and economic weaknesses. With these enemies we have all the war we will ever need; and we must leave their own ancient and historic quarrels to the nations beyond both oceans who live by the sword today as they have lived for generation after tragic generation,-devoted to the madness of military glory while they waste their own substance and despoil the fruits of civilization.

PRIZE WINNER
 TO TRAVEL
$3O-a-Week Clerk Had Only Expected to Re-
 Ceive $25 Award

Boston Feb. 23-(UP)-A $3O-a- week clerk today banked 8 $lO0,O0O check-f1rst prize in the Old Gold cigarette slogan contest-and pre- pared to gratfy a lifelong desire to travel.
 Samuel Munroe Van Sant, Jr., 38 bespectacled World War veteran has been given a two-week vacation to recover from the shock of win- ming a fortune, but it seemed doubt full he ever would work again as a clerk at the SearS-Roebuck Com pany store.
 Already offers of jobs in his former field-advertiSing-were ar irving at his one-room Back Bay apartment. Thrown out of work as an $S0-a-week copywriter for Bar ron Collier, Street Car Advertising Agency, during the depression, he was unable to find another adver- Using job and became a department store clerk as 8 last resort.
 The plans of Van Sant and his attractive wife were indefinite. First on the program were visits to their families. Van Sant's father, the Rev. s. M. Van Sant, IT, and mother. 70, reside at Margate, N. J., where the father, though retired, still breaches each Sunday at the local Methodist Church.
 Later they will travel-just where was indefinite.
 "We'll probably go abroad" he said. My wife has never been abroad and all I saw of it was what I saw when I was in the army"
 Van Sant made it clear that he would not buy wildcat stocks or invest in any schemes" His wife said they would buy an annuity.
 After the federal and state take their share of the check as oncome taxes. Van Sant expected to have $63,OOO.
 He had no indication that for tune awaited him when he was summoned to the Hotel Statler yes terday. Given an hour off from work, he and his wife rode to the hotel by trolley. In his pockets was 52 cents.
 How much do you suppose you got?" his wife asked him.
 Maybe 25 bucks" he shrugged.
 Well, we could use $25."
 When the $100,000 check was handed them by H. A. Kent, New York Old Gold district manager, Van Sant blinked and his wife slumped to the arm of a chair. But recovered quickly. They hugged for cameramen.
 Now can get new hat" gasped Mrs. Van Sant.
 Van Sant was born in Sea Bright, N. J., and attended public schools there. After his freshman year at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn, he enlisted in the army for wartime service in France with Grace Hospital Company 3S as a first class private.
 In 1923 he married Norma Dar- ling, daughter of the late Benjamin F. Darling, Westchester county reg ister of deed and mortgages at White Plains, N. Y.
