Here are some more health hints
as prepared by the Red Cross Home
Nursing Service With so many of
our doctors and nurses already in
the Armed Services, it is well to
have some knowledge of home
nursing.
A well-made bed provides both
comfort and protection. The mat
tress protector may be a cover made
for that purpose, a pad or folded
blanket. The bottom sheet should
be smooth and drawn tight to give
room for the feet. A pleat should
be folded at the bottom center of
the top sheet. and blankets should
be placed to come high over the
shoulders.
Don't keep medicines on the same
shelf with toilet or household arti
cles. Doing SO can result in tragic
mistakes. Keep all medicines in
place apart and well beyond the
reach of children.
AS the communicable disease
patient is released from isolation or
quarantine, full bath and shampoo
should be given and complete out
fit of clean clothing put on before
he mingles with others.

The Hornernaker's
Corner
By MARY DOUGLAS

More than 20 years ago, Napoleon
III offered prize to the person who
would invent "palatable, appetiz-
ing, nutritious and economical" al
ternate for butter, as a wartime
necessity. Meze-Mouries, a French
chemist, won the award when he
offered oleomargarine, a valuable
and wholesome food. And if ever
food deserved an award for patri-
otism it's margarine Particularly
in wartime has this food moved into
the emergency homefront and filled
the place of butter. Its social status
is secure, and no longer do we make
apologies for its presence on the
table.
To those who are not entirely ia
miliar with the food value of mar
garine, here are some of the facts.
Todays vltamized margarine is
made from pure vegetable oils,
churned for fine flavor in fresh
pastuerized skim milk and with at
least 5000 USP units of vitamin A
(the amount in a pound of butter)
added to every pound. Margarine
has much to recommend it, since it
contains the same amount of energy
pound for pound as butter, is always
available, lower in point value, and
about half the price of butter. And
at least until peace comes again,
margarine will be going to bat for
butter.

People With Eyes

~C1ENTTSTS have recently
- found out the amazing fact
- that some humans have eyes

in the dark
The discovery was made by
Dr Charles Sheard and Or. II. l..

and Clinic. who measured the
sight OF two persons found TO
have owl eyes"
The scientists reported that by
n freak Of nature the seeing APP

structurally like that Of owls
they had only those nerve
mechanisms that see dim light.
The owners of owl eyes don't
have the type OF nerve endings
that respond TO bright light and
colors. To them everything is
black or grey, and clear only
when the light is dim.
These owl-eyed humans, II was
learned, could see through the
dark with an x-ray-like ability

the individuals with owl eyes
have to wear dark glasses or
stay in shaded places. But as
the sun goes down their sight

Science has given this peculiar
eye condition the name of achro-
matopsiaN y which, in the language
of the layman, simply means the
total inability to see colors.
There are two causes for this
freak condition-fir first, heredity
which omits the retinal nerve

Covering this point DR.. HiX-
son stated:
II suggest this new weapon
for peace, at least peace in
terms of our present way OF
fighting wars, because our eX-
plosives are very unstable chem
ical compounds. Indeed that is
why they are good explosives.
Their instability breaks down
with such speed that they are
set off with explosive violence
and man uses this explosive
force TO hurl bullets or shells or
fragments of bomb cases at his
fellow man. If scientists can
discover a way TO detonate ex-
plosives at a distance, then the
whole structure of modern war
fare must collapse"

lie ores would not be relieved.
There is hope that science may
appease the metallic hunger in
another way.
For any coastal nation there
is always the seif-refilling mine"
OF the sea. A host of chemical
elements are found in sea water
and already bromine is mined"
that way by choice for economy's
sake.
Moreover, m any men see
metals as declining for structural
material i'm favor of plastics and
other substitutes that can be
fashioned through chemistry,
from growing crops. Taking the
long view, it is far more eco
nomical to build with what the
farmer grows on top Of the earth
than with what the miner digs
out of it.
The farmer can keep on rails
ing crops forever but the amount
Of metallic deposits is limited.
When these are exhausted. the
world faces metallic bankruptcy.
You can salt" a mine but you

In other words, the miner is
digging into the principal of our
inheritance while the farmer is
merely collecting the interest.
The day should come when coal

as treasured raw materials for
chemical compounds. In coming
centuries the world may say:

10Th and 20th centuries men ac-

The transition from the metal
age TO the plastic one in struc-
tural materials seems destined to
pass through what is already
called the "Magal Age" Magal
is a word coined by the famous
American chemist DR.. William
Hale and stands for Magnesium
and Aluminum-Mag and AL.
Back in 1888, DR.. Hale was
letting laughs bounce off his
shoulders when he prophesied
that the two light metals were
destined 10 replace heavy ones
such as steel and nickel. Today
IL has already come true.
