Use Plenty Salt
In Hot Weather

If you are exposed to extreme heat
for any length of time, your body
may lose as much as 80 grams of
salt through perspiration. The aver
age daily diet provides about 10 to
20 grams of salt; thus, when more
salt is lost than is taken in, the
body draws salt and water from the
muscles and body tissues and fatigue
and prostration result, says the
Christmas Seal Health Service.
During the hot weather, then, adj
ditional salt should be taken to Off
set what is lost through perspiration.
An extra quart of milk per day
provides enough extra salt for the
average person, but will not supply
enough for the manual laborer or
one working in extreme heat con-
ditions. Suckers, furnace tenders,
farmers and laborers should have at
least Is grams, (1a ounce) of salt in
addition to that used in their food.
Plain salt or salt water sometimes
causes gastric distress because it neu-
tralizes the hydrochloric acid in the
stomach. For such people, convent
ent enteric-coated tablets which dis
solve only in the intestines have been
made up in sizes containing S, 10 and
Is grains of salt. These are now
furnished to employees in many in
dustrial plants with instructions to
take them at intervals during the
day. However, the family doctor
should be consulted in regard to dos
age and kind of tablet to be used.

Rites Today For
A Sandstone Man

Residents of Sandstone and nearby
villages were shocked to learn of the
death of Melvin Hamre, young bust
nessman, who passed away at the
Pine City Memorial hospital Sunday
He had been ill for some time but it
was not thought to be serious. On
Sunday night he became quite ill
and was taken to the hospital where
he succumbed the following day. The
cause of death was given as ruptured
ulcer.
Melvin Erwin Hamre was born on
March IL, 1909, at Sebeka, and came
to the Kerrick community at the age
of IL. He was married on April Z,
1885, to Miss Mildred Louise At
kinson of New York Mills at his par
entail home. His widow and daugh-
ter, Elaine Joan, survive him.
Mr.. Hamre had recently moved
with his family to Sandstone where
they built home and gasoline sta
ton on highway 81. He was very
industrious and was off to a fine
start on his new venture when death
cut short his earthly duties.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon from the Bruno Presby-
terrain church at 2 p. m. and burial
will be made in the cemetery in that
village. Friends extend sympathy to
the bereaved relatives in their hour
of sadness.

Carriers Statesmen
For Defense Stamps

Thirty-two thousand rural mail
carriers are now acting as agents in
the sale of defense savings stamps,
postal officials have informed the
treasury department. Demand for
the stamps in sparsely settled dis
tricts caused the Post Office depart
ment to authorize the carriers to
act as statesmen.
The stamps range in value from
ten cents to five dollars. Purchas-
ers are given albums in which they
can be mounted. When filled, the
albums may be exchanged for de-
tense savings bonds.
Post Office officials recalled that
rural mail carriers acted in similar
capacities in 1917 and 1918 selling
war savings stamps.

that it's economic war. It is that, but
there doesn't, to a sober way of
looking at it, seem to be any necessi-
ty for excitement. What this coun-
try did to Japan now, it did to, for
instance, Germany and Italy quite
a while ago, and these two powers
retaliated in kind. But no further
trouble has come of that.
Unless somebody actually wants
to bring on an acutely critical
situation in the relations between
the United States and Japan,
real emergency should be un-
thinkable.
So far, Japan has not in any ap-
parent way even limited that she
wants to menace the United States.
Nevertheless, the American forces
in the Philippine Islands are i'm
mediately placed on a war footing.
When one looks at the develop
mentS in a calm manner, one is
able to figure out without any
great deal of mental exertion that
Japan certainly would not be
able to fight the United States,
Great Britain and Russia while at
the same time continuing a four
year war with China. 1t simply
doesn't make sense. There are
certain fundamentals of mathe-
matics that enter in here, and an
unexcited view of them would
make it clear that country like
Japan, after more than four years
of costly warfare, is in no posi-
ton to start new wars.
But, of course, one may cry wolff"
so often and so insistently that the
fellow finally appears.

DARE TO DO OUR DUTY
Let us have faith that
right makes might, and in
that faith let us to the end
dare to do our duty as we
understand it."

Japan has made move. The United
States have made move. Then ia
pan moved once more. And now the
question is, will all these moves in
volve both Japan and the United
States in the European war?
Evidently feeling under the necessi-
ty of doing something to live up to
her alliance with Germany and Italy,
Japan few days ago began to occu-
by French Indo-China in accordance
with an agreement entered into with
the Vichy government in unoccupied
France; as Vichy said it could not
protect Indo-China, it became Japan's
duty. There was nothing to indicate
very definitely that protection against
anybody was needed, and even Jap
anese references to the remote posi-
bility of a British attack were eX-
tremely vague.
Then the United States made the
next move; from one viewpoint it
may be pretty far-fetched for this
country to begin retaliations against
Japan because of things happening
as far away as Indo-China, but the
popular conception seems to justify
President Roosevelt's action in freez-
ing all Japanese credits and assets
in this country, and, in general, re-
strict Japan's commercial activities
and the British government did the
same thing.
UNDERSTANDABLE Japan then turned
around and applied to Americans and
American investments the same punt
tive measures as the United States
had melted out to the Nipponese.
Critical Situation.
All this is not war, although news

GUS Creation Dramatizes
Episodes of Christ's Life.

The world famous Holy Land exhi-
bition, acclaimed by leaders of all
faiths as one of the outstanding re-
ligious creations of the times, will be

sition, Raymond A. Lee, secretary,
announced recently.
The exhibition, which has thrilled

and Joseph Gauci of the Island of
Malta, creators of the exhibition, who
agreed to revamp the exhibits
schedule of showings to permit its
display in the Hall of Religion at
the fair.
Largest Animated Model.
Largest animated model in the
world, the exhibition consists of a
faithful reproduction in miniature of
the Holy Land during Christ's time.
1t includes 740'costumed moving fig
ures representing Biblical characters,
1000 buildings, such as the manger
where Christ was born at Bethle-
hem and the temple from which he
drove the money changers, the road
to Damascus, the sea of Galilee, the
Mount of Olives, Calvary and other
scenes described in the Bible.
In this creation of Palestine, by
means of thousands of electrically
controlled cog wheels and 1900 miles
of fine wire, the life of the Lord is
re-enacted from the Nativity at Beth
lehem to the Crucifixion at Calvary.

Many Features.
The illuminated temple and houses,
moonlight over the city of Jerusalem,
and real water flowing through the
River Jordan and the sea of Galilee
are but few of the amazing features.
The exhibit, which is A feet long,
18 feet wide and seven tons in weight,
requires two railroad cars for trans
portation. To assemble the $1,000
separate pieces of the exhibit necessi-
tates nearly two weeks work by a
special crew working under direction
of the Gauci brothers.

Tagging Does Not Settle Parking Problem On West
 Side Of Water Street Claims Kenishea

, side of Meadow street near the Salem street school, but it has not been rigidly enforced this summer because there is no school. However when school starts again, cars park ing there now will have to go else where, he said. If a bus route ex- tension request of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company made recently is approved it would eliminate a bus stop at the inter section of Rubber avenue and Water street. Chief Gormley said.
 It was finally agreed to permit parking for two weeks as a trial on the west side of water street, but it was indicated the area may be somewhat restricted in order that rtiler trucks going into the factory yard may have room to get in.
 To Control Lights
 : The board voted to install a manual control for two traffic lights on North Main street, one at Bridge street intersection, and one near the junction with City Hill street. Bur gess George Fellows suggested this, stating that the north-south traffic is much heavier than the traffic from Bridge street to Main street, and that such a control would per- init quicker flow. fthe north-south traffic and still rot hinder the west traffic. A policeman would operate the control.
 Warden Leo Brophy suggested a member of the traffic safety com mission come here to suggest im- provements on certain streets here. The warden mentioned among other places the junction of Cemetery street and North Main street, the Little Italy, section at the corner of High street, and the junction of Rubber avenue mad Church street.
 Burgess Rudolph Anderson said there is speeding on Rubber avenue and also on Cherry street and some to lesser degree on Elm street.
 Warden Brophy said he recently conferred with the police chief rela- tive to the question of having a speed limit placed on some borough streets. He indicated there will be further action on this later.

 MT. Fellows also said that nc parking on Maple street east of the traff1v light for about 25 feet should be permitted so that cars coming north or south and turning int that side of Maple street can swing there more safely. The warder agreed that this was advisable, ant pointed out it is included in tn parking ordinance. Lines may b. painted there soon.
 On a motion by Burgess Joseph Dinneny, it was decided to remove standard at the junction of Beebt street and Highland avenue and put a stop sign on Beece street at the intersection. This was approved by Chief Gormley.
 During the general discussion Burgess Fellows asserted the borugh has been waiting five years for state traffic agents to okay a traffic light at Kennedy's corner.
