Subsidies Regarded
As New Deal Deception.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I'm definitely against the subsidy bill
Congress should repeal or forbid the
subsidies that already have been granted
These subsidies will cost the taxpayers
far more in new taxes than they ever will
save the consumers in food costs. It's
the greatest hokum that the New Dealers
have attempted to put over on the
American public. MABEL LEWIS,

note of the conference will be that
the nations ten and a half billion

From The State
: Health Officer

The danger of failing to treat
syphilis adequately shows up
strickingly in the toll taken by
Mississippi's leading cause OF
death, heart disease. OF the 1859
deaths from heart disease in the
state in 1912, at least 20 per cent
were due to syphillitic heart dis
ease.
The tragedy of syphilitic. heart
involvement is that it shows itself
on the average of twenty years af-
ter the initial syphilitic infection
and it cuts short the lives Of 9TH
erwise robust and sturdy persons,
being especially common in men
who do physical labor
Due to interrupted or neglected
early treatment, this type of hear
disease can be prevented by the
same weapons employed agains
syphilis-prompt, intensive, anc
thorough treatment.

GOOD LUCK SHARM

Betty has the lock, shiny and

Change in Gasoline Coupons

Motorists are reminded by OPA
that their old "B" and &C" gas

east and midwest. However, all
new ''B" and &c" coupons issued
after December I to motorists
whose supplementary gasoline ra-
tons expired became good for five
gallons each throughout the coun-
try. Although each new coupon
will be good for more gallons thar
before, motorists will not receive
any additional gasoline because

Changes in Tire Regulations

Recent changes in tire rationing

are: Cd Recapping of tires for

bic for used tires. Tire and tube
rationing quotas for December are
not greatly changed from those in
November.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1943-12-11

Car owners themselves rather
than ration boards or automobile
registration officials must note new
license numbers on their ration
books and tire inspection records,
under a recent OPA ruling. The
action also provides that "T' cou-
pons issued for use in 1914 by COM
mercial vehicles and taxis will be
in strips (similar to strips of mo-
ton picture tickets) rather than
in book form and each coupon will
be serially numbered.

Four Are Killed In

The Stevens boy died instantly
after the pony he was riding re-
fused to halt at an intersection and
dashed into the path of the car
driven by Murray. The impact threw
the car out of control and, with the
pony still on the front bumper, ii
crashed into a culvert. Murray died
enroute to the Milford Memorial
Hospital. He suffered a fractured
skull and internal injuries.
The boy was hurled across the
highway into the yard of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar Ricards The pony, also
killed in the collision. rolled about
40 yards down the highway after
the auto hit the culvert. The ma
chine was wrecked.
The Stevens boy was accOmpan-
led by two friends, CASHIER Hall and
Edgar Tingle, also on ponies. They
said their mounts halted as they
came out of Cemetery Road to the
main highway. The Stevens pony,
however. refused to obey the youths
commands and made wild dash
across the highway just as the
Murray car approached. Eye wit
nesse said the driver swerved the
machine but was unable to avoid
hitting the pony and its rider.

Keep Children With
Colds At Home
(cOntInued from First Pase)

4. The cold may develop into
more serious illness such as FLU.
pneumonia, chronic sinus infection
or tonsillitis.
Keep In Bed
In order to speed this recovery
children who are kept home from
school should remain in bed and
away from other children. even
those in their own family. Espe-
cially should they be kept away
from babies. as babies are partic-
ularly apt to catch colds and de-
velop complication.
Rest in bed allows the child to
build up his resistance and in
creases the chance for early re-
covery, while neglected colds are
likely to string out all winter. 1t is
no help to the child himself if lie
is kept home from school and then
allowed to play around in the house
even though it does prevent infec-
ton of children not in the family.
Nor is there much point in keeping
him out of school and then allow
ing him to run around the streets
or Out-of-doOrs. particularly with
other children who may catch his
cold.
First Days Most Infectious
The most infectious stages of a
cold are during the first two or
three days, and children kept in bed
during that time. are very apt to
recover quickly. Only simple. cas-
lily digested foods should be served
TO them, along with plenty of water
and other liquids as fruit juices
milk. beef broth or thin soup. En-
courage as much sleep as possible.
Mothers with young children
would do well to assemble a box of
simple toys that may be kept just
or lin bed" days. things that will
ieep child amused, yet resting
luietly. while she goes about her
household tasks. Peg boards. small
blocks, cut-Outs. small doll. col
ring book and crayons, or other
Inexpensive toys of this type are
mong the possibilities. They may
Irevent many a restless. fussy hour
nd prove of much more value than
he small cost involved. They
hould. however. be of the type that
an either be steriliZed or burned
t the end of an illness. Remember,
%. that the sick child's dishes
hOuld be sterilized after he uses
hem TO prevent the spread of the
old to other members of the fam
y.
