JUNE DAY

Then if ever come perfect days But June sometimes has funny ways skies are gray; the air is chill, Misty rains dim the distant hill.
 Streams are turbulent and the speckled trout Baffle the fisherman, there's no doubt what is so rare you strike it just right Than a June day, what perfect sight
 To see your favoe horses your favortte race tracks, To see ladies all dolled up instead of in sacks. Then if ever you that shimmering green, Tn the early morn there's g lovely sheen. And sunset glow is lovely, yet June day is awful when 1t is wetl

on fruit and that 1t is dangerous to eat such fruit.
 (Mrs. c. L. P)
 Answer-No one has found the germ of poliomyelitis yet-if it is germ. Your friends may refer to the use of insecticide sprays and the possibility of chronic lead or arsenic poisoning from eating fruit or vege- tables on which spray residues re- main. If there is any fear of that, ordinary washing will not remove all of the residue, but rinsing in l per cent hydrochloric acid solu- tion, after ordinary washing. and re-rinsing in clear water to remove the acid, will remove the poison. To mawke the 1 per cent hydro chloric acid solution for this pur- pose, mix a pint of standard medic inal Dilute Hydrochloric Acid (10 per cent solution) with nine pints Ca gallon and one pint) of water. This is especially useful for lettuce and similar leafy or salad vege- tables, and for berries. For smooth skinned fruit such as apples, pears, tomatoes, soap and water washing may be sufficient.
 Mineral Oil
 Would like to know if an emul- sion of mineral oil interferes with a baby's assimilation of vitamins.
 (Mrs. J. McP) Answer-Yes. It is difficult to conceive why any one should give child mineral oil.
 The Late MT. Toad
 Two months ago a toad died in our rock-walled ten-ft. deep well. Have been unable to get any one to clean it out. The odor, very bad for while, has about left. Is the water harmful to drink?
 (Mrs. R. P. Al
 Answer-If you knew the toad was in the well why didn't you re- move the remains? The passing of the toad will not make the water harmful to drink.

Do not select a rainy day to do your packing. Garments must be absolutely dry to be pre- served.
 If packed on a damp day the moisture in the atmosphere will be absorbed by the garments and if left for long time they will then streak, discolor and deteriorate.
 Make sure garments are thor oughly clean spots and dirt are what moths feed upon in woolens and gritty dirt will eat into silks and cottons.
 It is always advisable to take more precautions about your summer clothes after seashore vacations. The salt in the air is absorbed by the garments, and the acids in sea salt are more dangerous even than moths.
 Be sure that all clothes from the seaShore are freshly clean ed before packing, or if not, are hung in strong sun and wind for whole day. Pack silks, woolS (such as bath

 8 white garment has turned yellow, it is almost impossible to whiten it again.
 If camphor or moth balls are used, it is most advisable to put them into corners, separat- ing them with issue paper so that they do not come into di- rect contact with the fabrics, and at the same time to allow the vapor to permeate freely.
 Don't try to preserve rubber articles such as bathing suits, bathing shoes, etc. Give them to the rubber salvage as it is impossible to keep rubber from drying out in the average home. As a rule, clothes are better preserved by hanging in moth and dirt-proof bags than being packed away in boxes, but

The woman who is determined to be as lovely when her sweetheart or husband or son comes back as she is when he goes to war will correct each beauty fault as it appears. 1,
 She'll get on the bathroom scales every single day, and thus she will never gain g good deal of weight before she realizes it's time for exercise and diet. She will take into account the fact that it's a simple matter to lose one pound. but 1t requires more will power than most people have to take off ten.
 Even though her hair is in per- feet condition, she will brush 1t reg ularly. And she'll treat 1t to 8 hot oil shampoo about once month. Consequently, she will never even have to look to see whether there are fieckS of dandruff- certainly not 8 few days before the unexpected fur tough. Furthermore, she'll keep up with changing hair styles and try a new coiffure once in a while.

When she notices that the hem in certain dress is a little shoddy, the collar frankly tired, she'll repair the dress or have it repaired ir1- stantly.
 If she notices that a few pores on her nose seem enlarged, she gets a jar of mask and uses it once week and begins to cleanse her skin more carefully and apply some kind of mild astringent regularly She wouldn't dream of waiting till every pore is definitely large.
 Nowhere is it so true that stitch in time saves nine as-at the dress ing table.

TEN PER CENT FOR BOMBING

The bombing attacks upon Germany,
which have been, so far, largely a British
offensive, have accomplished considerable
results, especially when one learns that the
British have had only ten per cent of their
air force available for bombing attacks.
When the war began, the British con-
certrated on fighter planes to win the
Battle of Britain. When they turned to the
construction of bombers, designed 20 strafe
German places, one diversion after another
caused distribution of aircraft.
Africa, Russia, the Near East and the
Far East have required British aircraft.
Every plane sent to these sectors retarded
the bombing attacks upon Germany
Luckily, with U. S. aircraft assisting, The
air<force available for bombing attacks IS
increasing at fast rate

"DOWNED EVERY JAP FIGHTER"

1t is difficult to understand the recent
criticism of American aircraft in view of
the performance of our planes in-the vari-
Gus sectors of warfare.
Not long ago, Senate subcommittee
heard charges that pilots in the Alaskan
arena we've operating death-trap planes
This is peculiar because dispatches
from Alaska, describing a recent attack on
Kiska Harbor quotes an American officer
as follows:
Cur planes are vastly superior to the
Japanese fighters, despite the maneuver-
ability of the latter. Our score thus far is
one hundred per cent against them. We
have downed every Jap fighter that has
come up against us at Kiska. They haven't
any armor and when we hit them, they go
to pieces"

THE GLORIOUS PRIVILEGE

So far as the readiness TO obtain work
is concerned, Key West of today is similar
to the Key West between 1880 ard 1890
when its population was larger than that of
any other city in the state.
In 1885, The New York Sun man had
a frOn,-p&ge @tcry in the Sun in which he
said that anybody in Key West who wanted
work could get it and added that the cost Of
living here was so low it was an easy matter
for anybody to save money and, in time,
become fairly we'll Off
At that stage of the story he intro
duced most significant But" In effect
he said, "But only a comparative few are
saving their money
He spoke of men in various walks OF
life who earned what was considered
good money" for those days. They were
paid Off on Saturday and were broke" by
Monday morning. Those men were cigar
makers, only an exceedingly small per-
centage of whom saved money
A fact that he overlooked was that
many cigaTmakers were not only "broke"
by Monday morning, but they borrowed
money on that and succeeding days during
the week at exOrbitant interest, mounting
UP, in many cases. to 1040 per cent figured
on yearly bases. 1t was an ordinary thing
tor cigarnyaker to borrow SIS Two or three
days before pay day AMI pay Sc for it when
he was paid Off
The Sun man spoke also of spongers
bt Oft liz
squandered all their earnings before the
time came for them to go out again
Yes, Key Westers earned good
money in those days when foodstuffs were
cheap and when everybody, except those
who were sick or had sickness in their
families, could have put aside enough
money to have made chem independent.
But how many did it? Only a COM
parative few. The great majority thought
that good times would continue forever,
and chuckled superiority when the subject
OF saving was mentioned
So it is today The great majority
think that our present good times are 60
ing tC last forever and they too are squander-
ing their money. Only few wise" ones
are protecting themselves against the
future. They are the type of men who
squirm at the idea of having to be de-
pendent on anybody. The spendthrifts
exult, Bah, what's the use? Have a good
time when you cam And they are the type
who entertain no qualnis about asking for a
loan"
This quatrain about money should
bring the spendthrifts to their senses:
mot for to hide it in hedge,
Nor for train attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent"
