Ezell, Robertson Head
Post Membership Drive

The annual membership drive of the
Daniel W. Beall Post No. Is. American
Legion, got underway this week with a
sure enough bang when George Ezell,
captain of the Reds and Johnnie Rob-
ertson, captain of the Blues started out
on the enrolment. Sam Goodwin was
the first member to get 1889 member
ship card that was written by Capt
Ezell. This so thoroughly aroused Capt
Johnnie Robertson that he struck out
with full speed and began to accost
members all around the square.
The drive this year will be good one
between the two captains and the con-
test will end the night of Nov. IL with a
big banquet given by the losing side.
All members, both old or new, should
consider the benefits of being member
of the Legion. Here are ten good rea-
sons, says Commander ]. II. Warner
that will show some of the many things
the organization does. They are; Peace
time service for community, state and
nation. Rehabilitation for disabled ex-
service men and his dependents: Child
welfare to help the scores of needy or
phans, also widows of Veterans; Amer
icanism to fight the inside forces that
work against the government; Junior
education that aids the youths in their
organizations; National defense; Legis-
lation beneficial to ex-service men; Nom
partisanship as to race or creed; Com
radeship for all men who served in the
World War an organization that boasts
of IL, 800 posts with million members.
So join up Buddy, is the slogan Of
Captains Ezell and Robertson. Be on
the lookout for these two-they want
your dues.

Wilmington To Work
For Federal Road Funds

Federal aid for completion of the
main highway system in Mississippi was
the main topic of an address by Con-
yressman Will NJ. Whittington, who was
guest of the Lexington Rotary Club Fri
day. He was introduced to the Club
by Paul Lindholm, program chairman.
"The chief problem confronting the
people of Mississippi is the completion
of the highway program, stated the
speaker. with the two senators and
all of the Representatives from Missis-
sippi, | shall continue to insist that the
President and Administrator of Public
Works allocate out of emergency funds,
twenty-five million dollars, or substan-
aially this amount. to match the appro-
priations made by the Mississippi Leg
islature to complete the main highway
,stem.
Mississippi is entitled to the Federal
ALLEGATION for highways. Il the Missis-
sippi delegation will continue to insist
upon the ALLEGATION, | believe it will be
.nade. For my part | will continue to
20 operate with both Senators, with all
Of the Representatives, with the Cover
nor and with the State Highway Com
mission to insist that Mississippi be
given an additional ALLEGATION for main
thoroughfares.
"Under the Flood Control Act of 1888
provision is made for the Tchula Lake
area" stated Congressman Wilmington
n referring to local matters of interest
to Holmes countians." Tchula Lake will
be cleared an outlet will be constructed
and Honey Island will be protected by
levee. / am recommending to the Dis
trict Engineer and the President of the
Mississippi River Commission that this
unit be completed at the earliest prac-
ticable date. Ordinarily flood control
works are first built in the upper basis.
An additional reservoir will be con-
structed along the Coldwater River, but
in the meantime the unit to protect
Honey Island and Tchula Lake area,
should be underway.
81 believe that the Big Black River,
work on which has been largely COM
pleted to the highway between Vicks-
burg and Jackson, will be completed to
and above West by the first of next
year.
81 am urging local sponsors" con-
tinued the Congressman, Ito prepare and
submit their applications for farm to
market roads, street improvements, ad-
ditional school and hospital facilities
and other WPA and PWA projects at the
earliest moment, and before the dead
line is reached, so that all needed pro-
jects in the Third Congressional Dis
trict may be approved
Referring to the cotton research lab
oratory to be placed by the government
for the benefit of cotton states, Mr.
Wilmington was free in stating that
Mississippi, the second largest produc-
ing state in the belt, should be the log
ical selection and that the Third Con
gressional District that raises the finest
cotton in Mississippi, should be the To-
cation.

How the "WeIl-Dressed"
Furniture Should Appear

This season-and every season
furniture should be kept fresh
and cleaning! The home-maker
owes it to her furniture-and the
appearance of her home. Before
it leaves the shop of the furniture
dealer, before it is sold-good fur
niture is kept polished! The dealer
continually gives it ''polish serv-
ice", to maintain its rich appear
ance-keep the wood "alive!" He,
who is an authority, regularly
uses a good oil polish (the best
is non-greasy, because it has a
fine, light-oil base). He knows
the importance of this-for selling
furniture is his business-and on
his shop floor, every piece of fine
wood must be kept at its lustrous
best! He knows, too, how vital it
is to the finish, the very pores of
the wood, to frequently apply a
quality oil polish on the various
suites and fine pieces! The effect
of it's frequent use on furniture is
two-fold: 1t prevents drying-out
and cracking-and it brings to the
furniture deep, lasting high-tone
that suffuses the wood, brings
out all the natural beauty of the
grain. All woodwork and furni-
ture will remain "well-dressed,"
decorative, sparkling-if cared for
periodically with a reputable
light-oil polish!

Vitamin d Material
Removed From Skin
.by Shower and Rub
Science Service.-wNU Service.
By DIR. FRANK THONE

Washington.-You play a few
sets of tennis, or toss medicine
ball, or take some other kind of
vigorous exercise in the SUM-
shine. You come in to the show
er feeling full of pep and vita
minis. You rub yourself down
briskly with a rough towel, and
feel even better. But you've lost
a good part of the vitamins you
have just been acquiring!
For now it appears that the show
er and rundown that are orthodox
parts of the American exercise and
health ritual actually remove from
the skin some of the stuff that
vitamin D is made of. This is the
conclusion of experiments at the In
stitutum Divi Thomae in Cincinnati,
performed by Agnes c. Helmer and
Rev. Cornelius H. Jansen.
In the experiments, groups of stu
dents, after exercising, had their
bodies above the waist washed with
clear water, which was all care
fully saved and evaporated down.
The terry cloths with which the
students dried themselves were also
saved. The residue from the wash
ing and terry cloths was extracted
with ether, and the material thus
obtained subjected to ultraviolet ir-
radiation and fed to rats afflicted
with ricketts,.
What the Athletes Lose.
The defective bones of the rats
healed up, showing that the athletes
"washings" had contained the pre-
cursor or raw material for vitamin
D, which was then converted into
the vitamin by the ultraviolet treat
ment.
In a second experiment the stu
dents were first irradiated with ul-
traviolet and the extracts then
made in a similar manner. The
results with rats proved that the
washing had removed vitamin D
itself from the boys skins.
In their conclusions the expert
mentors state: There is definite
evidence that the secretions from
the skin contain precursors of vi
tamin D, which after irradiation
are due to be reabsorbed by the
body, and the removal of which
tends to produce a dearth of the
vitamin unless it be supplied in
some other FORM"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-04-21

tanning an abundance of calcium,
phosphorus. and vitamins A. c
and D.
Second, frequent and thorough
brushing of the teeth, to remove
all food particles. The use of an
efficient dentifrice encourages eff
ficient brushing and helps to keep
the teeth looking attractive.
Third, the inclusion in the diet
of foods that require the chewing,
tearing, gnawing and biting for
which our teeth were designed,
such as raw cabbage, celery, ap-
pies and other fibrous foods.
Fourth, a visit to the dentist at
least twice a year, so that he can
check the condition of the teeth.
If every mother will follow this
program, and train her children
to follow it, the result will be a
vast decrease in dental decay,
and a forward step in human
progress. For it is not too much
to say that the SALVATION OF
THE HUMAN RACE LIES IN
SAVING ITS TEETH.
Write to C. Houston Goudiss, 6
East seth Street, New York City,

and How to Maintain Healthy

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Washing Fine Fabrics.-Wash
with careful gentleness and
squeeze in a thick towel instead
of wringing them in the hands.
Cleaning Nickel. - Nickel trim
mings on gas stoves will look
much brighter if washed with
warm water in which two table
spoons of kerosene have been
stirred.
For Stained Hands.-Most vege-
table stains can be removed from
the hands by rubbing the stains
with slice of raw potato.
Just Another Bath. - Many
times the canary can be induced
to take a bath if few seeds are
Spanked on top of the water in
the tub. The bird will almost al
ways repeat the bath if induced
to take that first one.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-04-21
Questions Answered

Mrs. E. T. D.-Answering your
question as to the effect of cook
ing on vitamin D, this is no prob
lem in the kitchen. Natural vita
min D is virtually absent from
most foods, but in irradiated
foods, or those to which vitamin
D concentrate has been added,
the vitamin D is stable and ordi-
nary cooking has little destructive
effect on it.
Mrs. ]. B. McK.-It is incorrect
to say that rye bread is more, or
less, fattening than white bread.
A slice of rye bread supplies the
same number of Galleries as a
slice of white bread.
Miss F. S. P.-The sulphur d.
oxide used to bleach a good grade
of dried fruit is present in chem
ical combination that is entirely
harmless.

Bessie Rockefeller, is now a citizen
of Chile.
Unlike Frank Woolworth and Char
ley Manville, old John D. lived to
witness the formation of foreign
alliances" by his grandchildren. He
did not approve at first, because
Mathilde Mccormick received no
congratulations from the oil mag
nate when she married Max Oser,
a Swiss riding master. But in 1929
she visited Grandpa at Ormond
Beach, his Florida home, and the
wound was healed. But to eccen-
trio Mrs. Rockefeller Mccormick,
Max Oser was always "gold seek
err"
How much money Mrs. Oser re-
ceived from John D. has never
been revealed, but she did get
$4,000 900 from her mother and is
heiress to a huge share of the Nc
Cormick fortune, which has been
estimated between $70,000,0O0 and
$211 ,000, 900.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-04-21

Mrs. Margaret Strong de Cuevas
was John D. Rockefeller's favorite
grandchild and she received $685.
100000 in his will. This was be-
cause Mrs. de Cuevas' mother, Bes-
sic, was not living at the time old
Rockefeller bestowed large sums on
each of his children. In addition
to this huge sum, Mrs. de Cuevas
received more than 100000 from
her grandfather in 1919, and $780,
600 when her grandmother died.
Married poorest Duke"
The list of Americans abroad is
quite bit longer. Close on the
heels of William Waldorf Astor was
Helena Zimmerman, daughter of
the late Eugene Zimmerman, Gin
cinnati railroad magnate. She mar
ried the duke of Manchester in Par
is in 1900. Known as the poorest
duke in England" he shared her
SIS, 100000 until she divorced him
in 1881 to marry the earl of Kintore.
Mrs. Harry Symes Lehr, ma
tive of Philadelphia, formally re-
nounced her citizenship by marry
ing Lord Decies of London. Two
months ago she informally repeated
her remuneration by boasting in Lon
don that she would not live in
New York on a bet.
Through all the romantic episodes
of Huttons, Astors, Whitneys and
Manvilles, the American govern
ment has sat stolidly, watching
money pour swiftly into pockets
across the sea.
The only satisfactory explanation
of this exodus of the wealthy is that
of social aspiration. Some main
tain they live abroad to spare them
selves from American taxes. The
truth is that most European ma
tions make greater assessments
than the United States. Others
claim they have flown to Europe to
avoid publicity. In the former Bar
bara Hutton's case this may be
true, but an equally wealthy and
comely American girl-Doris Duke
Cromwell-lives in her native land
quite happily.
AS for John Public, he doesn't
care where the Manvilles, Huttons
or Astors live. But he does like to
see American dollars stay in Amer.
lean pockets.

Red Pine Has Disease
That Causes Forking

Philadelphia.-Red pine, recon-
mended as hardy and disease
resistant replacement for the fun
gus-threatened white pines of the
northeastern United States, is not
without its own disease troubles. A
newly detected one is described in
Science by DR.. John Austin Jump,
botanist at the University of Penn
sylvania.
The disturbance consists in alb
normally accelerated growth of one
or more of the side buds at the tip,
causing forked growth of the tree.
The angle between the forks is not
always properly healed up, which
permits fungi and other decay or
ganisms to enter. The cause of
the disorder is not yet known, but
a fungus origin is suspected.

Poker Excels Art Works
for Rousing Emotions

New York.-Art does not contain
emotion, nor is it very powerful in
rousing emotion, DR.. Carroll c.
Pratt, psychologist of Rutgers uni
versity told the New York AGA
denny of Sciences here.
"The emotional effects of game
Of poker, the news of the death of a
friend, or reports of fluctuations in
the stock market are frequently far
more powerful than any of those
which come from the contemplation
of work of art" he said.
Certain patterns of tone may
sound agitated, but the person lis
tening to them need not necessarily
feel agitated. The resemblance of
the two has led most aestheticians
to assume that there is real emo
ton somewhere, when actually
there may be no emotion, in any
strict sense, anywhere"
