Eggs of uniformly high quality-the
kind the particular housewife wants
are now available to local housewives
reports G. s. johnson, manager of the
poultry department, Purina Mills, and
friend of our local Purina distributor
According to johnson, these special
eggs are sold in strong, attractive
checkerboard cartons that protect their
identity from the time they are packed
by the producer until they are used by
the housewife. The checkerboard car
ton is q sign Of guaranteed quality,
johnson says.
"Every egg packed In these checker
board cartons is the same" johnson
claims. Each yolk is Of the same rich,
lemon-yellow color and so firm that 1t
can be separated easily from the white
and rolled from hand to hand without
breaking. The whites are exceptionally
firm. The shells are dense and thick

and not easily broken"
johnson explains that these special
eggs, known as Layena eggs, are pro-
duced by hens kept under carefully con-
trolled conditions of management,
feeding and care Of eggs. They are fed
a balanced feed enriched with vitamins
A, D and G, and blended to produce
a highly nutritious egg containing de-
pendable amounts Of vitamins A, D and
G.. At no time are these hens allowed
to run loose where they can PICK up
bugs and other materials that affect
the color and taste Of eggs.
EDIroR's MORE: If you would like to
try a carton Of eggs produced and
cared for this special way, and don't
know where to get them, give our local
Purina distributor a ring. He will be
happy to tell you where they may be
obtained for few cents more than the
price asked for ordinary eggs.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS

Two Seattle, WASH, doctors have
announced new method they claim
to have used successfully to cure
drunkenness in $50 cases, during
the past year. Under their treatment
patients are first given a drink of
good liquor followed by an injection
of nauseating drug. This is re-
peated from four to seven times
each week until they develop what
is termed conditioned aversion to
liquor, apparently brought about by
the ASSOCIATION of the drink and the
drug.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND NEW
JOB

A wage-inquiry card can be OBJ
tanned at any Social Security Board
Office. If a worker fills this in and
mails it, he will get back a state
ment from the central Office of the
Social Security Board showing the
wages credited to him in his social
security account. If the worker be-
lieves the wages shown on this
statement are incorrect or incom-
plete, his local Social Security
Board office will help him to check
back on wages reported for him in
the past and clear up any error.
If the worker keeps the state
ments given him by his employer
showing the wages paid to him and
the amount of social security taxes
deducted, he will have full record
Of his wages. He can then use these
to check the wage statement fur
nished him by the Social Security
Board.
Any worker who has reason to
doubt that all Of his wages have
been correctly reported should mail
in wage inquiry card at once. The
more time that elapses the more
difficult it will be to check up ON
wages received in the past. The en-
ployer may go out of business or
the worker may forget just how
long or when he worked for an en-
ployer. In any case of doubt, the
worker would do well to consult his
local Social Security office for adj
vice

ELKTON FIREMEN TO HOLD
CARNIVAL

Singerly Fire Company, of Elk
ton, has decided to hold carnival
this year and has appointed the fol-
lowing committee of arrangements:
Warren w. Boulder, chairman; G..
Mitchell Boulder; H. e. Foster; and
r. M. Masemore.
The date has been set as August
20 through September l, and, due
to the patronage accorded former
carnivals, the firemen are determin-
ed to go to greater extremes this
year than ever before in an effort to
further please the public.
1t is more than likely that the
grounds around the old rail road
station will be used as heretofore.

NEWS ON BOY SCOUTS

The Boy Scout troop of Rising
Sun hope to have suits in three
or more weeks, that is, providing
the boys pay their back dues. They
all hope to go to camp this spring;
the Lions Club is giving each boy
dollar every time he passes from
one test to another. The boys do
not really get this money but 1t
helps to pay for the cost of going to
camp. The Boy Scouts are planning

Health Officer Asks
Extra Help 10 Make
Tests Of SeIectees
Says Time Is Too Short
For tuberculosis x-Roys
With Present Stuff

Protests were voiced yesterday by
Health Officer George c. Rutland
that mis- tuberculosis Bureau staff
would be unable-without consid-
cradle additional help-to comply
with requests by military authori-
ties that about 1900 selectees be
given X-ray tests by Tuesday.
The Health Department has been
asked to give the tests between last
Friday and next Tuesday and the
task was held by DR.. Rutland to
be impossible. unless the United
States provided extra help for the
tuberculosis Bureau.
I'VE are doing this work on a
volunteer basis" said DR.. Rutland.
"We are glad to do this service, al
though we must meet current local
problems at the same time. But we
simply cannot accomplish all this
testing by Tuesday with our present
staff. We have. for instance, but
one X-ray technician on our own
staff and I am afraid he will suffer
from this continued strain"
A solution to the problem is ex-
pected to be reached at a confer
ence at 10 am. tomorrow at the
Office of DR.. Rutland, to be attended
by Army, Navy, and Public Health
Service representatives, as we'll as
members of the District Medical
Society and DR.. A Barklie Coulter,
head of the Health Department Tu-
berculosis Bureau.
1t was explained that the Health
Department staff not only must take
the X-ray pictures. but also must
have the prints developed and read"
by technicians, requiring clerical
help as well as technicians. The
Army has provided two extra clerks
and Public Health officials loaned
the services of one X-ray technician.
The District bureau has staff Of 10,
in addition to DIR. Coulter, but one
member is on leave The pictures
are taken at the tuberculosis Clinic
at 462 c street NV.

delay Of years in the city's efforts to
bring its fire protection to date. It
is hard, they explain, to get through
an order for a streets surface to be
torn up so fire box cable can be laid.
And they cite also that the side
tracking Of this phase of municipal
service will mean that cable will
have to be laid for blocks in some
instances in order to reach the de-
sired points.
Connected In Circuits.
Fire alarms are connected in cir
cults. The number of boxes now
necessary to bring the system in
stride with the development program
may mean that new circuits will
have to be installed. Those already
in operation are heavily overloaded,
some of them TO double capacity.
An incident that adds particular
force to the argument for fire boxes
is seen in the "blackout" that para
lyzed the Capital the morning of
December 81. Public services tenn

twin generators at fire alarm head
quarters, either of which can supply
the load alone, go to work. operated
by gasoline engines. If these gen.
orators should get out of order
simultaneously, a battery system.
chargeable either from outside
source or by the generators, can be
relied upon long enough for repairs
to be made.
Admitting that the telephone is
one OF the worlds greatest assets,
advocates of the flrebox system ex-
plain that 1t is the human element
involved in a phone conversation
that makes that method of turning
in an alarm liable to error. They
cite how P street sounds like T
street, @ street like U street.
So often have firemen been fooled
by telephoned notices of fires that
this type of alarm is termed a
monkey" at headquarters. The

Budget officials explain that the

OF 100 f1reboxes at s125 each. This
does not include the cost of in
stallation, which can range from q
small sum to several thousand dol
lars, according to the work and
length of cable required in each in
stance. 1t is believed the new boxes
can be installed largely from mate
rial on hand, as an ample stock OF
cable is maintained primarily to
take care of emergencies arising
from deterioration of old cable.
Requests Are Filed.
Citizens associations and other
civic groups play a part in decid-
ing where the next fireboxes to be
installed by the city will 60. As re-
quests come in, they are filed in
the order of date received. The fire
alarm superintendent then makes
his decision on this basis, coupled
with his own judgment and that of
engineers as to where the greatest
need exists.
The last fire alarm appropriation,
that of 1882, provided for purchase
Of 100 boxes. Since these were in
stalled, only those have been added
which were bought by the Govern
ment for its own buildings or by
private enterprise.

Fire Department distrusts them. A
call by firebox automatically brings
to the scene the standard minimum
of equipment for a single alarm
four engines and truck. The same
call by phone would bring only one
engine and one truck.
There are three chances of error
when the alarm comes by telephone

ators and the firemen. The caller
must have the number correctly in
mind. He must relay 1t properly
to the operators and they, in turn,
must pass it on to the firemen.

terms a flrebox the fireman's visit
ing card to the public. Its use
quickens the service, he explains.
All person has to do to bring four
engines and truck to the scene is
to pull the flrebox.
