U. Fatigue Pills

Those mysterious anti-fatigue pills fed German soldiers before going into battle are nothing new to the U. s. Army. In fact, U. g. nutrition experts have gone the Germans one better.
 The Nazi pill is simply a tab let made of a mixture of corn sugar and citric acid. The acid causes a flow of saliva which in tam promotes quick digestion of the corn sugar, giving the soldier a lift within a few minutes after the pill is swallowed.
 U. s. Army experts have devel oped much improved version, hn0Wn as Type D super-emer- c V ration. Ii consists of a con- ceatrated chocolate bar fortified With vitamin B. The bar weighs one ounce. can be carried in the S9l1lef pccKet ana Will Wlth- stand heat up to 120 degrees. It is enclosed in a special wrapper which will resist eight hours of mustard gas attack. One bar is the energy equivalent of a full meal.

les than 1000 009 short tons of copper this year, and defense and civilian needs rsquire more than l,800000 tons. There just isn't enough to go around.
 Zinc is scarcer, too, to galvan- ize your defense posts, for roof ing and for garbage cans. Steel for that new home you've been planning is being delayed II to la weeks now, because Uncle Sam iS buying so much.
 Mrs. John Q. Citizen, you're already paying 25 to 30 percent more for wash frocks. or taking poorer qaa fly. And just wait un- II you get ready 10 buy your win ter coat and furs! They'll cost you at least 20 percent more, say the retailers.
 If your husband thinks he'll es cape, he's mistaken. Either hell ta1e cotton and wool mixtures, or he'll pay $250 to S5.o0 more for his winter suit and oVercoat.
 As for food, we have plenty. h general. food prices are much lower than they were in pros porous 1929, and somehat lower evon than they were in 1937.
 The government index. for al foods, taking the 1925-39 aver age as 100, shows pricas were up around l3l in 1929. The index stood at l079 in 1897, and it's only up 10 l00.6 now.
 But in areas where defense in- dustr.es or Army camps are To- cated, food costs are much high CT, CT they're spotty and uncer- tain.
 Take the case of my wife and the string beans. here in Wash iNgton. Last summer, her gro- ger bought a local standard pack can of string beans, and sold them to her for five cents can. Now she pays nine cents, and her grocer tells her string beans can't be had until the new pac,i comes in this ronth.
 But. strangely enough, there nay be no canned bean crisis in kCokuk, la, or Peoria.
 On the other hand, top round steak around here is now 33 cents a pound against 45 cents last fall. Why? Many reasons But the big ore is t:iat somebody started a price war on round steak few wears ago. and tna stores had 10 meet the competition-even al a loss.
 There are four reason why we're having all these little trou- D es:

Natn'I Defense Is Hitting Nearly All; Warning Given
By MORGAN NJ. BEATTY
 AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON. July - Up to now the war has hit most of us in the poeketbook, the electric refrigerator and the fasteners on our clothes.
 This month it starts in on the kitchen. the bathroom and the scrap box of nuts and bots and wire in the basement possibly on the Sunday afternoon joy ride.
 By fall, i'll catch us in the suit and overcoat, probably the fuel oil tanks and possibly rent. Come winter we may even be giving up that new house we planned or at least modifying its des.gn.
 Next year?
 Every hour of the day will find us making a sacrifice if the war lasts.
 Oddly enough, we soon may be living better in some respects be cause Uncle Jim, v-ho hasn't had a job in years may be working steadily al the foundry
 We're already paying through the pocketbook because of the 10fo special income tax for de- fense and we'll be paying even heavier next year. If we haven't put out income tax money, we have paid extra on taxable pro ducts like movies, cigarettes. eic,. either because taxes are higher. or because we've bought more.
 We are paying through the r. frigerator, because ice trays are getting scarcer, and so are the freezing units.
 We're paylng through clothes fasteners, because manufacturers have been forced to lower the quality of dollar wash frocks for women by putting on more and cheaper buttons, and fewer zip pers.
