Your Beauty
Corner
By CORINNE SKINNER

Fermentation or sun tan, techni-
-eally called Erythema is due the
stimulating action Of the rays on
the terminating or fourth layer of
the epidermis. The layers of the
skin are divided into parts, 1t is the
fourth section Of the first part that
is affected by sun-tan. There are
many tiny cells in this basal layer
the lowest of which extends down to
the fat cells, blood vessels, the
sweat and oil glands, and hair fol-
licles. A certain amount Of sun-tan
which has the effect Of the ultra
violet rays from the sun is healthy
in that, vitamins in sterols of the
skin are produced, hemoglobin or
iron in the blood is increased, and
the red and white cells in the blood,
and in general enhance the meta
boblic or life process in all plants
and animals.
Before exposing yourself to the
sun, rub cold cream or olive oil
over the parts of the body not COW
cred by clothing. This gives an even
tan and helps prevent the skin from
becoming dry. But too much ex-
posure to the sun may cause dis
comfort.
There are four degrees Of Fry
thema or sun-tan: First degree:
slight reddening, appearing several
hours after application without any
signs of itching, burning or peeling.
Second degree: marked REDEEM
ing with or without moderate Itch
ing and smarting, with slight
separation Of thin flakes Of epider-
mis- or skin within a few days.
Third degree: pronounced REDEEM

Plenty Of vitomiu A
Needed for Good Vision

If you III not getting enough
vitamin A, it shows in your eyes.
Night blindness is one of the first
signs of a vitamin A deficiency.
But nutritionists Of the Mississip-
pi extension service say there is a
simple way for the homemaker to
make sur that her family gets en-
ugh vitamin A. She can include
plenty of foods rich in vitamin A in
her meals.
In terms Of common foods, enough
vitamin A to give an adult a liberal
margin Of safety for one day would
be supplied by the following: One
pint of whole milk; one egg; two
erdinary-sized pats of butter; and
m average serving a a leafy green
CIR yellow vegetable. Children need

sized portions of the foods rich in
vitamin A that are provided for the

TON Q-RiOSiTIES"
BY TOM Q. ELLIS,
Clerk, Supreme Court

Farmer Higgins finest mule lay
groaning on the ground;
All remedies thus far had failed, rs
neighbors gathered round.
A negro lad Of early teens was num-
bered with the throng;
His, .tattered coat was much too big,
his trousers much too long.
A big red apple which his lips en-
circled like a wreath,
Was disappearing, bite by bite, be-
! tween his pearly teeth.
And with the last sweet morsel gone,
in comfort, down he sat,
Then broke the watchful silerce with.
"Us mule got sick lax do.
"What did you do?", u crowd in
quired-their efforts gone amiss-
what did your Daddy give his mule
when it was sick like this?"
The little negro unused with pride,
and scratched his head of wool;
"Us gid him tuppentine" he said. "A
greet big bottle full",
So turpentine was quickly brought
from off the mantel board,
And down the ~blistered, tortured
throat, the last hot drop was
poured.
But ere the stuff had settled down,
the poor beast dropped it's head,
And everyone could plainly see the
Higgins mule was dead.
They turned in horror to the lad, whS
still in comfort sat,
AS in pure innocence he said Gus
mule died jes' lax dat"

al Recommendations For
Fertilizer Use Listed

Recommendations for the use of
commercial fertilizer on Mississippi
farms during the crop year 1941, ap-
Filled to a wide range of crops and
soils, are published in the January
issue of Farm Research, monthly
publication Of the Mississippi Expert
ment Station.
"The economic production of food,
feed, and fiber for cash crops and
home consumption determines the
cash income and living standard on
Mississippi FARMS" said DR.. Clarence
Dorman, Director of the Mississippi
Station. among the factors which
determine whether or not any Civ
en- crop can be grown to the ad-
vantage of the producer, a most i'm
portant one is the proper fertiliza-
tion of the crop in order to obtain
maximum economic yields. 1t is no.
a simple problem. The kind and
amount of fertilizer vary with the
different crops, different soils, and
past treatment; therefore, no one
treatment is suitable for all crops and
all soils, and the recommended prac-
tees must be adapted by the farmer
to fit his own circumstances"
The soil areas in the state are re-
grouped, for convenience, into areas
showing similar responses. to given
fertilizer practices. Recommendation
are made in eneh of these areas not
only for stable crops as cotton and
corn, but also f3sf the forage crops
such as beans, peas, lespedeza, for
pastures, and for the principal truck
crops. These recommendations must
necessarily be different in the diff
ferent areas. Thiis,s for ,-the
recommendations ssfor nitrogen only
in the Delta area, except in the
East Delta area where the recom
mendation is for 100000 pounds g.
4-6 fertilizer, Cotton recommended
tions in other areas are: Prairie 300
500 pounds 6-8-4; Hill, 100000
pounds 6-8-4 or 4-S-4; Upland Val
ieys 30O-6O0 pounds 4-8-8 or 6-S-S;
and Gulf Coastal, 100000 pounds
6-8-4 or 6-8-8.
Included as a part of the publica-
ton is a map showing and identify
ing the ten agricultural areas of the
state, and the five classifications for
which fertilizer recommendations are
made.
These fertilizer recommendations
are based on extensive experimental
data OF the Mississippi Station" stat
ed DIR. Dorman. Quantities recon-.
mended are those from which it il
felt highest returns may be had pei

Repeated charges that the Presi-

war will go far in placing the blame
upon him if war should come and
even if provocation should justify it,
he says. Thus, Mr.. Roosevelt, as a

"BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS"
By John Croddock

NEW YORK. Jan. 27-BUSINESS-There seems
to be no let-up or even prospect Of one, in the STEADY
expansion of industrial activity. Biggest step-ups,
naturally, are in defense goods industries, ou1 the
fact that these call upon a wide range of industries
furnishing the raw materials, has considerable effect
in spreading out the work of producing and moving
foods. Backlogs Of untitled orders in aircraft, snip
building and the machine-tool industries, as well as IN
steel and textiles are ncreasing-which means there
won't be any slackening of the pace for a long time
to come. Private building contracts are at the highest
level in weeks, reflecting the large volume OF indus
trial construction as the feverish drive for additional
plant capacity goes on. Housing projects are booming,
too. $50
STIMULATION More work, larger ~payrolls,
juicy overtime ~paychecks mean gains in consumer
buying power. The month of January figures to at
least match the performance Of December in reflect
ing this situation, by producing the highest national
total Of department store sales, for that month, in
10 years. Auto owners, fearing eventual curtailment
in production Of new models, are rushing to get their
Al jobs tucked safely in the garage. Auto deliveries
are running nearly 20 per cent above the near-record
pace Of a year ago, and well beyond the previous
high-water mark, set in the same weeks in 1887. And
the manufacturers, feeling the same way; are turning
out cars at just about the fastest rate ever. During
the middle two weeks of January the output reached
an alltime high for any january period. and the
outlook is for continued manufacturing volume at
just about the present speed.
NEW FARM MARKETING war has been costly
for American farmers. Wheat shipments, for ex-
ample, dropped from 81, 165, 600 bushels in the 10
mont ding November 1, 1889, to 13,500,00O
busnels in the same period last year. At the same

Home Town Loyalty

It is a general rule of daily life
that if you get favors from any
one, you are under obligation to
return such favors. If somebody
keeps entertaining you. and you
make no return by entertaining
him, you can't expect the intimacy
to continue Indefinitely.
In home town life our people
are constantly getting favors from
their home stores. The home busi-
ness places go the limit to please
the home town folks, often sub
jecting themselves to serious in
convenience to meet their every
demand. The home stores back
up the institutions of the town and
pay big share of the taxes. 1t
seems up to the people to return
all these favors, by giving them
their patronage when it comes to
buying goods.
