BRANDED UTTERLY FALSE

The first report, Mr.. Roosevelt
declared. was utterly false. Then
he made his charge that an or
gained campaign existed seeking
to discredit British aid and TO
sabotage the United States pro-
gram of aiding Britain and other
countries.
The second report, he asserted,
had been carefully investigated
both by Washington and London,
and was found to have grown out
of the fact that Britain had made
a contract for delivery of certain
goods to Argentina long before the
lend-lease act became effective.
The contract was filled, and Brit
'ish steel was used.
1t is through the spreading OF
false rumors, the distortion OF
.half-truths and the voicing Of de-
.liberate falsehoods, the President
asserted, that the campaign OF
sabotage is being waged on be-
half of Hitlerism.

A dog has yet to be found

Yet men have been known

 q think women who wear a great deal of makeup on the beach look silly" writes a young man who says he likes to go to beach every Sunday and that he usually takes Q girl with him.
 1T feel pretty strong about this" he continues. q just don't like to be seen on Q beach with Q girl who obviously has put too much makeup on her eyes and cheeks. And l don't think that anyone who intends to get into the water ct all ought to wear one of those grease paint foundation businesses unless she is dead sure that 1t won't get streak ed"
 Other beach habits which annoy this young man and which, accord ing to him, annoy most men are:
 Constant hair combing and fuss ing with makeup. He points out that there are bandaYlas to keep the hair in place and that 1t doesn't matter if the nose is shiny between swinns. THESE TRICKS ARE
 JUST NOT CUTE"
 Sand throwing, feet tickling and other so-called cute tricks which make the few hours on the beach anything but restful
 Swimming far out beyond point causing everybody nearer the shore of absolute safety and, by so doing, to worry and fuss and should Come back"
 Flirting with lifeguards or, for that matter. with anyone except the man who invited you to the beach in the first place.
 Wearing bathing suit which makes people say "WhewI" as you pass by.
 Insisting on staying in the sun so long a bad burn results.
 Complaining bitterly all the way home about the possibility of blist- cred shoulders or & headache from too much sun.
 Taking a picnic lunch, @e eat ing of which requires virtuaR gym nastics. (IIis idea seems to be that every girl ought to brush up on ways to make picnic dishes which are really good and at the same time easy to eat and handle)

Taking a friend to lunch an an air-condi- toned tea-room or restaurant in the summer, If you can afford 1t, is an easy and pleasant way of entertain ing.

tried to answer them.
 repeat, blood pressure, high or low, is not in itself e rnalady or an independent or primary condition which calls for any particular remedy, diet or precaution. The blood pressure is just one feature, which may or may not help the physician to diagnose or under stand what is wrong with the pa- tent or his or her hygiene or way of living.
 If you ask me, as Q health teach- CT or adviser, I tell you the best plan is to pay no attention to your blood pressure. Leave such ques- tions to the judgment of your phy. sician.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Shortage of Vitamin A
 My daughter, 20, suffered with very dry skin, especially on legs and upper arms. After Q bath there was much itching. Her hair was oily and seemed thinner than 1t had been. We read in your column of vitamin A shortage and diffi- culty in seeing well In half dark ness. That was another complaint of my daughter. She began taking three capsules daily of natural vitamin A (75,000 units) and in less than Q month her skin had become normal and she recovered her ability to drive at night (MrS. M. R. O.
 Answer Excessively dry skin is one characteristic manifestation of natural vitarnin A shortage. So is night blindness or excessive dag. zling by opposing headlights or by glare.
 Brain Food, Muscle Food, Bone
 Feed
 Just what food builds muscle? What food builds vitality2 Is there such 0 thing as nerve food or brain food? Is calcium really bone building? c. S.)
 Answer Adequate intake and utilization of calcium and phos- phorus are essential for normal functioning and repair of bones, teeth, nerves, but 1t is hardly jus- tlfiable to call any particular food or foods "brain food" or "bone building. Fresh raw milk from COWS on pasture or getting fresh fodder most nearly approaches De. ing brain, nerve, bone and muscle food, in my opinion. This applies only to Certified raw milk or to raw milk from tuberculin tested COWS. Send 26 cents and a one- cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, for booklet, Feeders Di- gest." It will help you to know your food.

WHO CARES ABOUT BLOOD
 PRESSURE?

Composite of numerous foolish questions:
 Have blood pressure. Would like to know if grape juice (red meaD (starches) (eggs) (vitamins) (cof- feel Cried food) (salt) (garlic) (wheat gerrny (sausage) (smoking) (sleeping without pillow) etc. etc. Is beneficial or harmful.
 At least such questions seem foolish, but maybe that is because I don't know as much about blood pressure as the correspondent thinks he or she knows.
 Frankly, I know little about It.. A lot of doctors apparently know a great deal about 1t, enough to write imposing books about it-im- posing, l said. There Is Q small shelf full of such books in my H. brary. It saddens me to look even at the backs of 'em. Reminds me of the enormous amount of print ed matter dealing with irlconse- ouentials. In the vast field of medicine and health alone the mass of such stuff is appalling.
 Remember, now, I know little about blood pressure, high, low or Intermediary. Don't read another word If you are handling your own case, for my utterances will only confuse you.
 As a rule high blood pressure Is a beneficial compensatory nanifes- tation, a change which is necessary to maintain fairly good circulation in spite of some handicap. Just what the handicap may be in a given case IS @ question which only the patients own physician can answer intellgiefitly, after he has examined and studied the patient.
 As Q rule low blood pressure is one feature of some individual, perhaps inherited constitutional peculiarity or of some nutritional deficiency or of some chronic dis- ease.
 Long ago some inept physician who examined me for life insur- ance informed me that my blood pressure was low. have had simt- lar examinations many times since, but have never cared what my blood pressure measurement show ed. I have at my elbow an accu- rate mercury sphygmomanomete Instrument for measuring blood pressure) but I do not think 1t worth while to use 1t to measure my own or anyone else's blood pressure.
 Who cares about blood pressure7
 They who know least about 1t seem to care most.
 I repeat, the questions people constantly ask about the effects of this and that on high or low blood pressure are foolish questions, and would be dangerous questions if l
