NATION TO BATTLE DREAD DISEASE

'T'IIE people of The United States will soon wage
war Of their own. While the nations Of
Europe send their armies, %eared for death and
destruction, into conflict, our people will rise to
battle foe far different than their fellowman.
Others will fight to cripple and kill, we shall fight
more valiantly to heal and cure the crippled.
Shortly every man, woman and child Of our
country will be modified in the nations war
against infantile paralysis. AS body this
nation will unite to give health and strength, hope
land relief, to its less fortunate citizens who suffer
from the ravageS Of disease that is heartleSs and
ruthless in its attack.
We as democratic people processing our be.
lief in humanity can engage in this war with 4
Just pride.

LABOR SHOWS IT'S HEART

7 ABOR'S generosity in this years President $
~ Birthday celebration seems to have surpassed
all previous years givings as judged by what the
Labor Division is able to report at this early date,
2 weeks after the 1939-4O campaign has begun
Chairman of the Labor Division, William Green
has already announced an ovel-subscription OF the
first one million birthday cards ordered from the
printers. What does this mean? 1t means that
labor is going to give in this year of peace in
America as it has never given before to the cause
of saving lives and Strengthening twisted limbs
Orders for birthday cards are the best ndca-
ton of how much organized labor will contribute
Ito the fight science is waging on the Gripping
invader, intantile paralysis. The birthday greet
ing cards are the modus operandus by which every
union member and members OF their
families can send their dimes and dollars straight
to the White House as they congratulate President
Roosevelt on his 58th birthday, January 28 Hence,
the more requests for cards the larger the return
to the White House-and the requests from unions
small and large, are pouring in.
No doubt, the spirit of giving has been accel-
Grated by the season Of the year, but through 1876
Chrstmases the germ of poliomyeitis has baflled
science We need to keep on giving until we can
celebrate a poliomyelitis-free Christmas.

Observation-Disclosures

Production of gasoline from
peat is under consideration in
Denmark, according to a report to
the Department of Commerce. A
factory in Jutland now produces
approximately $4,000 tons Of peat
annually from which it is esti-
mated locally that 5000 tones OF
gasoline could be obtained. How
ever, the equipment necessary for
the manufacture of peat into mo-
tor fuel would have to be obtained
from Germany at a cost reported
to be approximately 17,0OO,O0O

Care of Electric Stoves

If you are lucky enough to own an
Ielectric stove, make note of this ad-
vice on its care.
Plain soap and water are the best
materials for keeping the enameled
parts of the range clean. But be sure
to wash the range when it is cold, not
immediately after you have been cook
ling on it.
A very mild abrasive, like whiting,
can also be used on the enameled part
of the range, while for the nickel trim
|mings whiting or a metal polish is
Ibest.
To remove food spilled on the cook
ling unit use different methods for en-
closed and open units. 1t the unit is
|enclosed, simply wash off the spilled
food after the stove has cooled
If the unit is open, do this: heat a

to char. Then, when the unit has cool

Deceptive Containers Are Outlawed
Taffy, pretzels, and celery seed
were among the first commodities to
be caught inside deceptive containers
by the Federal Food and Drug Ad-
lministration.
The seizures were made under a
provision of the new Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act barring misleading con-
Itainers from interstate commerce.
In Hoboken, New Jersey, 125 pack
ages of pretzels, the product of a
Philadelphia bakery, were found nest
ling in sealed paper bags inside card
board boxes which could have held
Imany more pretzels than they did
hold. Official observers report that
even admitting that pretzels need a
lot of room, the packages seized were
still too roomy for the pretzels they
Icontained.
Salt water taffy was seized while
| it was on its way from New York to
New Haven, Conn. Like the pretzels
the taify was packed in boxes much
too large for the contents.
Celery seed was picked up in Balti-
more after it arrived in town from
Brooklyn, New York 1t was packed in
rs dozen half-ounce packages which
were only one-third filled.
Even though the Food and Drug
Administration is hard at work driv-
ing slackfilled packages of food
(drugs and cosmetics, too) out of in
terstate commerce, consumers should
not close their eyes. Remember al
ways to read the label to find out the
exact quantity you are getting.
Wax On Table Cloth
All you need is an iron and couple
of blotters to get rid of splotches OF
wax left on table cloths by Christ

Bureau Of Home Economics re.
Isearchers suggest this method for re-
moving the wax.
Scrape off as much of the wax as
you can with the blunt edge of knife
being careful not to injure the cloth
Put clean white blotter underneath
and on top of the stain. Then simply
press the hot iron over the blotter tc
melt out the wax.
If there is still grease stain il
the cloth, you can remove it with car
bon tctrachloride or some other grease
Isolvent. Red wax may leave slight
red tinge which can be sponged ou

Another way to remove the wax i!
to rub it with cold lard, or turpentine
or kerosene oil. Then wash it ou
with warm soapsude. The first meth

The Stamp Plan Marches On

The Stamp Plan Marches On
People with small purses who buy
unbalanced diets don't always do it
because they don't know better. The
Food Order Stamp Plan is showing
there's possible big market for pro-
tective foods if incomes were larger.
Checking up on the foods which low
income families are buying with blue
stamps shows that eggs, butter,
fruits and vegetables are the most
popular choices. These are protective
foods, rich in vitamins and minerals,
that help to build strong bodies and
ward off diseases. Most lowincome
families don't get enough of these
foods.
The Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation, which operates the stamp
plan, finds that stamp users spend on
the average 25 cents out of every dol
lars worth of blue stamps for eggs;
|25 cents for butter; ID cents for fresh
fruits; 8 cents for vegetables. This
accounts for almost three-quarters of
their purchases.
Under the Plan, relief families are
given so cents worth Of free blue
stamps with every dollars worth of
orange stamps they purchase. Orange
|colored stamps can be used to pur-
chase anything in the corner grocery
except tobacco and alcoholic bever-
ages. Blue stamps are good only for
foods certified as surplus by the Sec
retary of Agriculture. When relief
families have no cash income with
which to buy orange stamps, the FSCC
sometimes gives them blue stamps.
This plan is operating now or will
be very shortly in % cities. By June
|30, 1910, it is expected to be going in
1875 to $50 places"
