German People Increasing
Use of Nerve Sedativcs

Reports said to emanate from
Italy are to the effect that the use
Of sedatives by city populations OF
Germany has reached a degree re-
curing drastic rationing. The de-
rivatives OF barbituric acid, known
under various trade names, are be-
ing consumed in uncontrolled
quantities bordering on mania,"
quotes a prominent member of the
American Chemical society.
1T has undoubtedly been found
necessary to conserve the barbitu-
rates for hospital and medical u.s.
age in Germany" states DR.. Will
liam G. Young, chairman OF the
chemistry department at the Los
Angeles campus of the University
OF California. 1T is quite conceiv-
able that the repeated bonbings of
cities and lack of sleep have driven
many people to the use of sedatives.
In this country a prescription is
required for such drugs, since the
average person If permitted to buy
at will at the drug stores might take
too large doses with possibly fatal
results.
An unprecedented use of soda
tives has been occasioned by the
war. The problem of the hospitals
is to get sufficient quantity of
quick-acting drugs"

Gives Valuable
Cooking Hints

BOHEMIAN, because vegetables
cooked by the usual kitchen meth
DDS may lose about 20 per cent of
their vitamin Bl, few simple pre-
cautions to prevent vitamin loss
are suggested to homemakers by
Bessie E. McClelland, extension nu-
triton specialist at Montana State
college.
Miss McClelland also points out
that much depends on the kind of
food cooked, the way it is prepared
for cooking, the temperature
at which il is cooked, how long
it is cooked, and other conditions.
To avoid unnecessary loss of Wit
amin 81 these precautions are sug-
gested:
Don't use soda in cooking veg
etables. Soda destroys not only Vi
tamin Bl, but also other vitamins.
Bl passes very readily into the
cooking water from most vegeta-
bles-often more than rs per cent
is lost in this way, unless some use
is made of the cooking water. Some
times the water is used as con-
centrate and served with the vege-
table, made into sauce and served
over the vegetable. or added to the
soup pot.
Bl is destroyed to an even great
er extent in cooked meats than in
cooked vegetables. That's because
of the higher cooking temperatures
and longer cooking time. Very little
Bl is destroyed in frying meat as
chops or steaks, compared with the
amount destroyed in roasting, which
takes longer time and higher tenn
perature. In general, the loss Of
vitamin b in cooking meats is
roughly 40 per cent

the greatest threat to the stability Of
labor relations in vital industries and
menace the war production program.
Unrest is growing among the workers,
the Council reported, because the value
of the wage dollar is shrinking day
by day.
Thus far, the Council charged, the
nations economic StabiliZation pro-
gram has worked in only one direc-
ton to freeze wages. Labor was
promised that the cost of living would
be stabilized along with wages.
''That promise has not been kept
\ the Executive Council declared fatty.
J Responsibility for the failure of the
food price control program was at
tributed in the Councils statement
partly to lack of authority, partly TO
lack of the right personnel, but pri-
marily to the absence of agreement on
basic detectives and methods.
The Council pointed out that the
real objectives of the new program
should be to provide for the produc-
ton of sufficient food for all wartime
needs and to bring prices back into
relationship with wages and stabilize
both at Il reasonable and fair level.
Urging the President to give con
sideration to these recommendations
of labor the Council promised that the
American Federation of Labor will be
glad to give its support to Il clear
cut. sweeping and workable program.
1t appeared likely at the outset of
the session that the Executive Counc-
Gil will devote a great deal of attention
to legislative matters. Coming up fol
consideration are recommendation with
respect to the anti-labor Connally-
Smith Act and the new Wagner
MIurrayDingell social security amend
ments which We're sponsored by the
