According to canine experts
the best way to make the switch
is to start feeding about one
quarter of the new ration to
three-quarters Of the old food.
Then gradually increase the
amount of the new food every
day until it is being fed entirely.
This calls for patience on the
part Of the owner.
If the owners supply of timed
food is completely exhausted, and
the switch-over cannot be made
slowly, dog breeders suggest that
fresh meat, if possible raw or
cooked, or the dogs favorite It'd
bits be mixed in with the new
food. Then increase the amount
of new food daily until the dog
is used to it exclusively.
Under Federal law, all dog
food packages must be labelled
as TO content so it is a simple
matter for the owner TO select
the type best suited to his pet.
One good way to make certain
that the particular brand of food
is up to standard is for the pros
pective purchaser to examine the
package carefully for the formula
that the food contains. If this
says that the product has meat
and meat by-products and is ac-
companied by the United S ates
Government inspection legend
this is proof that il has been pre-
pared by firm that used only
wholesome materials and con-
verted il to canine use under
conditions that were sanitary in
every respect.
Some owners Of dogs have been
so upset by the threatened short
age Of food for their pets that,
in cases where the animal is we'll
along in years, they are think
ing seriously of having it pain
lessly put TO death. However,
there is every indication that, in
spite of the war, there will be
enough Of the new types of food
for all the Fidos in America.
In England. for instance, where
dogs have particularly tough go
ing right now because theit
y owners are on strict food rations.
the animals have shown a re-
markable adaptability and a real
thumbs up" attitude toward the
war These pets have adapted
themselves TO largely vegetable
diet favored with whatever meat
scraps can be found.

Wartime Meals For Dogs

light million dog owners in
the United States today are
- faced with the wartime
problem Of changing the diets Of
their pets.
Finding a substitute for Fido's
dinner has been major pro-
blem ever since Uncle Sam cur
tailed the use Of tin for dog food
cans.
Switching foods is not as SIM
pie as it sounds. Dogs. like hui
man beings, become accustomed
TO certain types of food and are
wary of any change.
With cans out for the dura-
ton. dog caterers began offering
two types of dog ood-dehy-
drafted and dry. These two words
have been confusing to many
owners. Some make the mistake
of thinking they mean the same
thing but they don't.
Dehydrated dog foods are those
from which the natural mois-
ture has been removed at low
temperature by a drying pro-
cesses. Dry dog foods, on the
other hand. are biscuits of the
kibbled, compressed, or mixed
meal type.
The same ingredients that
formerly went into the canned
food now 60 into the dehydrated
kind although, due 10 the manu-
featuring process. the product
looks a little different in color
and form.
To serve Fido the dehydrated
food all the owner has TO do is
add moisture in the form of
water, milk or broth.
The dry biscuit, on the other
hand. is made from ingredients
that are mixed into a dough
which is baked at high temp
erature while the compressed
form consists Of dry ingredients
being mixed with a binder and
forced through a tube TO form
cubes.
Once the owner has selected the
food he wants Fido TO have he is
up against the job of how TO
switch his dog over 10 il. He
just can't hand him a dish OF
the old food one night. and
switch TO the new the next. Not
knowing what it's all about the
dog Will likely pass itlup but If
hunger does lead him TO gulp it
down, the sudden change may
upset his stomach.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdce1Uell.

Birch and other trees are killed by
these birds in the North. Whole apple
orchards have been destroyed.
The holes drilled by the sapsucker are
about as large in diameter as an average
pencil.
A few sapsuckers remain in this vi
cinity for the winter, but probably do
little or no damage until spring.
It is possible that various insects might
harm small branches to the extent OF
causing them to fall of.
In June the annual cicadas will nip
of branches of oaks. These may be seen
lying along suburban avenues.
Since there are thousands Of insects,
and hundreds of caterpillars, the best
way for the householder to treat them
is to regard them all with extreme cau-
ton, and get rid of them on sight, as
general proposition.
Only the expert, who has made life
study Of caterpillars, would be able to
tell the good" ones, If there are any,
from the harmful.
Caterpillars and cocoons Of all types
should be gathered up and burned in
the fall.
If more attention were devoted to this,
and less to the universal passion for leaf
raking and burning, home gardens would
be better off next spring
Caterpillar hideouts may be found in
old rose vines and evergreens, and often
in shrubbery. AS rule they are dis
agreeable to look at and to handle.
Much may be done with an old broom.
The undesirables should be gathered
in several pages of an old newspaper,
and this set afire at one end.
In this way the inimical insects are
destroyed before they get chance to do
any harm in the world. In nature, of
course, they have right to be where
they are, but man has decided that this
is one of the original totalitarian wars
he must fight.
Scientists have told us for many years
that the great battle for the world"
will be between mankind and the insects.
of agriculture, which provides natural
nesting and feeding grounds far beyond
anything which nature ever intended.
Spraying of shrubs and bushes, and
perennials, and even the withered an
nuals, may be done At this time, to help
get rid of the insects, grubs and the
like.
1t must be remembered that the insect
war is an unending one. The insects
originated "infiltration tactics" They
have been looking for soft spots" in our
ranks for centuries.
Often they find them through human
laziness, and lack of home garden sani-
tation.
1t must be admitted that raking and
burning leaves does get rid of many
insects without doubt, and to that
extent is good, although considerable OF
a nuisance when overdone.

We'll Done!'

II all Of us could do half as well as
the Navy has done, ashore and afloat,
In the past week there would not be
much to worry about. For while the
Navy was chasing the Jap fleet away
from the Solomons, the Navy De-
partment was setting a mark for the
rest OF us to shoot at in the Commu-
nifty War Fund campaign in Wash
ington.
The Navy Departments extraordi-
nary response to the campaign
reporting 1859 per cent of its goal
at the second report luncheon while
most Of the rest of us were merely
getting started-was due to fine
leadership at the top and excellent
organization throughout.
At the outset, Secretary Knox set
q reasonable standard of contribu-
ton at one or two per cent of base
pay. That was something tangible to
think about. Assistant Secretary
Artemus Gates, with the capable
assistance Of Captain G. A. Eubank
and staff of officers, saw to it that
an early start was made in the can
vassing and got the job over before
the regular campaign was really be-
gun. AS a result, more than seventy
five per cent of the Navy Depart
nnent nerSonnel in WASHINGTON con-
tributed $4,000 in excess Of the
assigned $175,000 quota. And this
without the Navy Yard, which is
handling its own business and Is yet
to complete its report.
The second week of the campaign
begins today and it will be helpful
to everybody If we bear in mind how
well the Navy has done it's bit.

A Food Czur?

The seemingly well-founded reports
that the President Is planning to
name food czar, with powers COM
parable to those exercised by William
N. Jeffers over rubber, serve to direct
attention to another phase of the war
program which has been badly mis-
managed in Washington.
A few months ago the country was
being told that, because of lease-lend
demands and the needs of our fight
ing men, we could expect restrictions
on the civilian consumption OF a few
foods, but that there was no danger
of a serious food shortage. Because
the handling of the food problem has
been permitted to 60 from bad to
worse, however, this comforting be-
lief no longer is entertained. 1t has
become all too clear that this coun-
try, after a year Of record-breaking
crops, is faced nevertheless with a
critical food problem.
Several weeks ago the National
Association of Retail Grocers asked
the President to appoint food ad-
ministrator, predicting that chaotic
conditions would result If he failed
to act. This was followed by warn
ing from the Associated Grocery
Manufacturers of America that "ac-
tual hunger" is possible next year
unless immediate steps are taken to
safeguard production and distribu-
ton of food.
There can be no doubt that this
condition is another by-product OF
the procrastination and indecision
which have loomed so large in the
official conduct of the war. Once
again we have waited to act until an
impending crisis forces action. And
once again we are faced with the
necessity of paying a price in hard
ship and confusion which could have
been avoided by timely leadership.
II the President is about to name
a food administrator it is to be hoped
that he will select the best man avail
able and delegate to him the broad
powers that will be needed to cope
with this problem. And it is also to
be hoped that we have learned our
lesson-that this is the last time we
will postpone dealing with a mount
ing crisis until left with no alterna-
tive but to fall back on some costly
eleyenth-hour remedy.

Praise the Lord

1t makes no difference whether 1t
was Lieutenant Howell Forgy or
Captain William A. Mcguire or some
other Navy chaplain who inspired
the tale about praise the Lord and
pass the ammunition But it would
be too bad If continued research into
origins spoiled the legend. For the
legend itself is the important thing.
The sentiment behind it touches it
with the same Immortality that gave
Sergeant Molly Pitcher, Betsy Ross
and Barbara Fritchie a place in the
folklore Of the Nation.
Long before the popular song gave
wings to the legend, it had been
passing around the country, un-
doubtedly improving a bit each time
with the telling. It was exhilarating
enough as it first reached Washing
ton in the mail from Pearl Harbor,
shortly after the December 7 at
tack. That account contained sub
stantially the same language, but
embroidered it bit as the chaplain
banged away with an anti-aircraft
gun-or it may have been a machine
gun. The disavowal of such details
by Lieutenant Forgy and Captain
Mcguire, aside from keeping the rec
ord straight, also may serve to pre-
vent the story from superseding in
ternational law regarding the non
combatant status OF chaplains.
Long before there were written
words or written music, the bards
and the minstrels were taking lust
such incidents from the battlefelds
and passing them down from gen.
Grafton to generation. Perhaps Pri-
vate Frank Loesser's song may perish
because OF constant repetition on
the radio, but of all the songs of this
war it has most nearly caught the
/public's fancy. Unlike another
famous war song, it was the words
of the refrain and not the melody
itself which provided the inspira-
ton. Julia Ward Howe was held up
in her carriage while a column of
soldiers swung along a Washington
street singing John Browns Body
Lies a-Mouldering in the Grave" It
was early the next morning when
She rose and, fearing lest she wake
the baby by lighting lamp wrote by
the dim light of dawn those brave
words for the Republics battle
hymn:
Mine eyes have seen the glory
OF the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes OF wrath
are stored :"

Sherman Was Rioht

Throughout Hawaii there broods
spirit OF uneasiness. Not, be it
quickly announced, through fear of
invasion, but nevertheless concerned
with Jap trickery, as practiced by
one Rikizo Kami. Ricky is no enemy
OF the United States, having no more
use for the Mikado than the average
American, but he is professor of ju-
Jitsu, with classes of Hawaiian house
wives whom he teaches self-defense
against people bigger than they are.
His methods have been proved sensa-
tional.
Already one husband who thought
lessly complained against a lack of
starch in his shirts was casually ju-
jitsued through mirror by the little
woman, removing all his starch. An
other husband, kicking over pork and
beans for five dinners in a row, now
uses his left arm to eat his beans, his
right having been broken by his wife.
Nowhere else in America has civilian
defense reached such ominous per-
lection, and nowhere is old-fashioned
chivalry so prevalent. The Hawaiian
housewife no longer spends hours
trying to wind her husband around
her little finger by shedding tears;
she finds it quicker, and far more
permanent, just to tie him into knots
with ju-jitsu.
