Father Cough|in Warns
Against Hymns Of Hate
Nv the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Sept. 4.-The task OF
the United States in the face of Eu-
ropean war, the Rev. Charles E
Coughlin said yesterday in his
weekly broadcast, is to remain neu-
trail and avoid entangling foreign
alliances.
The Royal Oak (Mich) priest said
that Americans, regardless of their
personal feelings or foreign ances-
try. must stand solidly together and
hold no animosity against their fell
low-citizens because of foreign
origins.
Saying the people of Europe did
not want war, Father Coughlin
pleaded with his listeners TO make
distinction between the foreign
peoples and their governments"
Let us help all Europeans to ter
inmate the war" he continued. And
let us not be 50 foolish as to partici-
pate in 1t or contribute to its en-
durance.
MY friends. do not become
thoughtless victims of emotion. Do
not become pawns of invisible forces
which. for their own subversive
ends, will attempt to persuade you
to join in a hymn of hate. 80
Our task is to hold fast to peace: :
our task is to hold fast to the Amer
lean attitude toward the peace
treaty Of Versailles; our task is to
hold fast to our constant attitude
toward red and brown Bolshevism
which were catapulted upon us as a
result Of that unjust peace treaty

NUTRITION AND IMMUNITY

NUTRITION AND IMMUNITY
There is no scientific evidence that
vitanin A is of any greater import
munity or freedom from illness or
in preventing any specific infectious
disease than is any other vitamin
or any essential nutritive element.
If the intake of vitamin A Is less
than the body requires then the.
body will be that much less cap
able of maintaining normal i'm
munity Eve. do not speak of ''re-
sistance" because no one knows what
that may be, other than immunity
as this is recognized and to a de-
gree measured scientifically. But
the same thing may be said of the
intake of any other vitannin or of
calcium or phosphorus or orin or
iodine or sulphur or protein or fat
or starch.
The specific part played by vita
min A in building or maintaining
immunity consists in keeping the
mucous membranes throughout the
body in normal condition. Absence
or insufficient intake of A, in ami
NAL or man, manifesteS itself by
formation of "stratified keratinizing
epithelium" instead of the normal
soft columnar epithelium lining the
respiratory, alimentary. urinary and
genital tracts, the eyelids, etc. Mu-
cous membrane of that sort is irri-
table and more readily susceptible
to pentration or invasion by bacteria.
Restore ,vitamin A to the diet and,
if the degeneration has not progress
sed too far, the epithelium of the
mucous membranes will recover its
normal condition, and the individual
will again have the protection of
this first line of defense" against
infection.
. How much ground there may be
for the belief that vitamin A de-
ficiency may be cause of kidney
stone or bladder stone in some
cases, I do not know. In animal ex-
periments kidney stone may be
produced by a diet lacking vitamin
A, and the stones so produced may
later disappear when viatmin A is
restored to the diet. Whether this
observation applies to kidney or
bladder stone in human beings is a
question. Here again, no possible
harm can be done by the thera-
peutic test in any case-the patient
must take at least 100000, better
100000 units of vitamin A daily, pref
cradle natural vitamin A -four or
eight capsules daily over a period
of at least two months, to determine
whether any improvement is brought
about.
Some good oculists now prescribe
vitamin A as an adjunct in the
treatment of numerous eye troubles
which may depend at least in part
upon nutritional deficiency. Patients

@. What is the correct way to
wash a wooden garment? i
A. After shaking it to remove
dust, dissolve some mild soap flakes
in boiling water, using about one
tablespoon of soap flakes to basin
of water. For hard water, use more
soap. Add enough cold water to
cool the solution to lukewarm. Douse
the garment up and down in the
suds. allowing the soap bubbles to
penetrate the material. Do not pull
rub or twist the garment when wash
ing it. Rinse it after each washing
in water of the same temperature
and wash it until the rinse water
Is thoroughly clean. Do not skimp
on rinsing, especially with white
woolens. Treat the garment care
fully when it is dried. so that the
colors do not have chance to run.
Use old towels to take up excess
moisture, putting a towel between
each fold of the garment. Take out
the towels and shake the garment
to remove any moisture; then, if
possible, hang it up to dry in an
airy, shady place, or lay it in shape
on towels in breezy place. While
slightly damp. press the garment on
the wrong side, through another
cloth for protection.

And at shops right now you can

For truly handsome lamp base
find a hardshell gourd with long
neck and flat bottom. Wash and
dry thoroughly, cut off top and
make a small hole near bottom of
gourd, through which you run a
rubber-covered wire for the light
as our diagram shows.
Then fill your gourd two thirds
full of sand to weight it. Attach
rubber socket with push-button
switch to wire at neck, make firm
with plaster of Paris.
Now, finish your lamp base with
a coat of shellac or clear varnish-
add smart shade.
You can make pretty soap flake
