Army Wars On seVuItures'' Victimizng New Soldiers

Columbus itself, nearest town to Fort Benning's 60OOO men, is pret- ty well restrained, but across the river in Phenix City, Ala. has arisen a problem typical of that faced by all large army camps. Interruptions and greedy proprie- tors have quickly set up shady establishments designed to take soldiers pay with maximum efi- ciency and minimum regard for the soldiers welfare.
 The situation around Fort Ben- ming has become so fragrant that Secretary of War Stimson himself has referred to it as an outstand- ing example, and General Lloyd Friendanall, Fort Benning com mandant, has had to write Cover

Experiment Station
 Checking On Foods
Several Interesting Analyses Made of Breakfast FOOds-New State Laws Become Effective Jan.

Breakfast foods form a large group of products analysed and re- ported on in the annual food and drug report of the Experiment Sta- tion at New Haven. The new report published as Station Bulletin 437 is the last under the old state law The new statute, revised to con- form with the federal food. drug and cosmetic act of 1899, became effective in January, 194O, after the samples included in the present bull letin had been collected.
 Before presenting analyses, pr. E. M. Bailey, chemist-in-charge, re- views the food and drug legislation of Connecticut and of the United States, and tells how the new act differs from the old. For example, the new statute embraces cosmetics and a more comprehensive group of drugs and materials used in medica- ton. It contains provisions dealing with adulteration that would outlaw injurious materials occurring in A product, or that might accumulate  through a certain type of packag- ing, as well as those that are added during manufacture. It also requires more inclusive labelling so that the consumer may have true picture of the product in place of a mere statement of contents.
 Enforcement of the new act is entrusted to the Dairy and Food Commissioner. He and the Director of the Experiment Station are re- sponsible for rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions.
 Amoug the 10e2 food products ex- aininee at sho Station in 1889 were samples of 7i breakfast foods and similar preparations now in com- mon use. Annlyses of each are giv. en in terms oi content including;

Columbus, Ga, Dec. 26 = Army officers and leading citizens of this defense boom town hope to emerge soon with a longtime plan for alleviating local vice conditions brought on by. the rapid expan- sion of nearby Fort Benning.
 The real fifth columnists of the community are the women camp followers who drift into town on pay days, do their deadly Work in silence, and then thumb their way back home till the next pay day rolls around. And the extent of their operations will be known only when the monthly medical 'eports are compiled.

moisture, ash, protein, fiber, fat and calories per 100 grams. In addition Dr. Bailey has written briefly on the composition and character of the different cereal grains: wheat, rice rye, corn and oats from which breakfast foods are made. Miscel- laneous foods of the breakfast food type are made up chiefly of a cer- cal base, with the addition of fruit, vegetagles, gum or bran to produce laxative effects, he states. Bran has receievd much attention in the past 20 years and it's benefits and disad- vantages have been appraised by the Council on Foods of the American Medical Association, of which Dr. Bailey formerly was a member.
 Other food analysed include: Fruit juices, fats and oils, flavor ing extracts, meat products, milk and milk products. A five-year sum- mary of the inspection of vitamin D. milk shows that 90 percent of the samples tested have fully or
 
 substantially met the vitamin D unitage claimed.
 In the section on drugs, consider able space is given to samples inc tented to produce sedatlve or anal gesic effects. None of these was found below standard or adulterated, and samples were labeled for the most part In the manner reuuired by the new law. Of tn eother drugs examined, eight of q samples of citrate of magnesla were found below standard or questionable. Only fifteen samples of i77 products exc aniined were substandard.

WOMAN,S REALM
GIO,iing
Yourself

NEA Service Staff Writer
Once you have made up your
mind to stop envying the smartest
woman you know, and get busy IN
an attempt to be as well groomed
as she is, you'll have to chalk up
list of resolutions.
You will resolve Immediately to
stop trying to make your wave do
just one more day instead Of going
to the beauty shop on a certain day
each week.
SET ASIDE
A REGULAR TIME
You will resolve to spend two
hours each week going over your
clothes, replacing hook here,
Strengthening a hemline there and,
if necessary doing bit of pressing.
You will stop shopping haphaz-
ardly. You will make list of every
thing you intend to buy during the
entire fall and early winter seasons
before you even look for your first
fall dress. You'll plan your color
scheme at the same time. AS a
result, you won't discover all too
late that the first fall dress looks
simply dreadful under your winter
coat.
You will somehow manage to have
three girdles in your wardrobe =
one on, one clean in the drawer,
one in the laundry.
You will stop buying things be-
cause "they were such bargain,
my dear" You'll buy them only for
two practical reasons = because
they are flattering and because they
are on your shopping list Of must
HAYES.
DON'T TOLERATE
CLIPPED NAIL POLISH
You will resolve never to tolerate
Clipped nail polish. Anyone can
master the trick of patching the
chip, then applying fresh coat OF
polish over old.
And you will resolve never to
leave your room until you have
looked at yourself in a full-length
mirror and made sure that no single
untidy detail mars the finished
picture.
