 MacARTHUR'S COMMUNIQUES
 When Col. Larry Lehrbas, press aide to Gen. Macarthur, returned to Washington recently he dropped in to visit old cronieS at the State Department press room. LehrbaS has had meteoric career, first as a cameraman in China, later as an Associated Press reporter cov- ering the State and War Depart ments. There he met Macarthur, later became his press adviser.
 The ex-reporter explained that MacArthur's communiques, con- sidered by the War Department to be the most unusual of any military commander, were first written by Lehrbas or one of the

believe no intelligent parent should ever give an infant a dose of castor oil without specific direc- tion from the physician. Not that trere is any serious harm or danger in locking lip ttle bowel for a day or for several days, that Is, no dire poisoning or "autointoxication" oc- CUTS from mere delay of bowel movement. But castor oil or any other laxative CT physic inevitably llpsets the natural physiological automatic regulation of the digestive processes throughout the whole length of toe digestive tract in the young infant and easily establishes the phySic habit. This is the begin ming of the 'habitual constipation" of most victims of the physic habit.
 If the b. by's food is too weak, too much water and not enough nutri- tive material in the mixture or for mula that is, not enough fat, carbohydrate, protein or filler (cel- lulose)-it is to be expected that the food residue in the intestine will be relatively small in quantity or bulk and hence there will be a costive state. For instance if the babyS food is nothing but milk and, we hope, little fruit juice or to- mato juice, rather costive state is normal. But if the baby gets a fair break, and has some banana and some oatmeal or barley gruel daily from the age of four or five months, there is normally larger, bulkier residue and a freer, easier bowel function.
 By the way, sweet, soft but not mushy, well ripened banana. if you can get it, is fine food for every baby from the age of four or five months, especially for puny infants who suffer from "malnutrition" or "marasmus" and obstinate consti- patton" If you can't get banana. I'm sorry know of no good sub | stitute-none, that is, I dare Sug- geSt as yet. But there is plenty of sound medical experience behind the recommendation of banana for infant feeding, and urge it par ticularly upon parents who are con- templating giving their baby castor oil, milk of magnesia, cascara or any other physic or laxative. Re member, with the first dose of physic the baby's troubles and yours begin. On the other hand with the first spoonful or two of banana you'll find that a thousand coos and smiles begin. Banana is an excellent source of vitamin B-com- plex for anybody. And vitamin B. l complex, in my judgment, prevents constipation and other digestive troubles which may be interpreted as 'colic." To this extent, when no , banana is available, pleasant tasting vitamin B-complex syrup 1 containing some iron and mangan- ese may be a good supplement- about half-teaspoonful, supplying
 the daily requirement. of vitamin B may be added to the baby's food or given from spoon.
 For older children or adults who have become habituated to laxatives or physics, I recommend the use of plain wheat in the everyday di- l etary. How to use it is described in pamphlet Wheat to Eat" I'll 1 send you on request if you provide a three-cent stamped envelope bear ing your address, and no clipping will suffice.

With the ban on pleasure driving again it looks more than ever like Stay-at- home summer. However, it has been stated that many hotels in New England and elsewhere plan to operate this sum- mer. Hotel visitors will travel as they did. in years gone by, on trains And now they have something that was not Tn order at the turn of the century, motor busses. Years ago families thought noth- ing of going to summer places loaded down with luggage, travelling from thirty to a thousand or more miles, changing trains, and eventually arriving at resort railroad station where they were often transported by horse-drawn bus to the hotel, joining the veranda rocking chair brigade for July and August. Then when cars became common the family traveleo that way going and coming as they pleased. Only the very long trips were taken by train and many even took the the cross country trip by automobile. It looks like the railroad trains will be pretty well patronized this sumner, by those who do decide to go places.

 Hernia

Finally Dr. examined him, made no promise but said he would try his best the doctor had hard time finding means to support the hernia. the boy is so active, but finally suc.- ceeded.

 (Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Answer-It is good thing there
 are doctors like the first six you con-

The second kind keep the medical profession from going stale. Personally I'd never submit to radi- cal operation for hernia until I had given the ambulant dnjection)

We'll enough for lthesome girls, But, with all her knots and knurls, Why she should be wearing pink, Who, with common sense, can think! Such a gown is not for her

 stand his men, bareheaded, but also ! dressed in coveralls and looking very fit indeed They are paired off, a;
 though they were preparing to play
 some new version of ee-deep ol
 maybe double drop the handker- chief.
 The captain calls to a lieutenant
 to bring his a bayonet. And then
 illustrating his remarks with ges- lures used on the lieutenant the captain proceeds to give his men
 fatherly advice something as fol- lows:
 i Don't use your fists against an ! enemy unless you have brass knuc- | kles on and can hit him hard enough to kill him. You can't hurt man with your bare fists, the way you play with each other around here
 KNIFE METHOD IS EFFECTIVE A much better attack against a Jap is with the knife. The knife is silent. It makes no noise, anG your enemy makes no noise if you hit 1 him with it right. You may have to wait two hours until you get your man in just the right position nov ing up on him quietly so that he i doesn't see you. But finally he is walking past at night on sentry duty, perhaps, you can get up to him and attack him from the rear when his back is turned to you Don t stab him in the back That is inef- 1 fectiye.
 l Instead, carrying your knife in your upraised right hand, throw your left hand around his neck and push the knutkles of your thumb into his Adams apple to shut off his wind and keep him from giving an alarm. That's what that bone in your thumb is for. Force him back against your body to throw him off balance. Now give him the knife. You can do it in three or four ways.
 If he is smaller than you are, plunge the knife right into his heart. Or, you can force it right behind his collar bone There's little hol- low place there behind the bone that you can feel and 1t will just take the knife. Force it down, then I give it twist.
 HOW TO HANDLE
 THE BIG FELLOWS
 If he is bigger than you are, and you can't reach over his body, force the knife right through his neck, through the Windpipe, in the soft part of part above the Adams apple.
 Another way Is to cut right through his arm at the muscle, and hold him till he bleeds to death. A man will bleed to death in 10 sec- onds, if you cut the veins and arter- ieS of his arm.
 If he gets away from you or If you get him down and he isn't dead vet or if you lose your knife, jump on his face with both feet, Bend your knees just little as you spring, then straighten out your legs just before you land. You hit him double that "ay, with the force of your jump and the extra force ot your kick as you stiffen your legs to plant your heels right in his face.
