The so-called modern wife" often dis
trusts the half-knowledge gathered dur
ing her adolescence. But, instead of en-
tering wifehood fully equipped with the
intimate facts she needs, she resorts to
over-strong solutions of acids for the

even desensitize delicate tissue.
Today such risks are needless. Science
has given womankind a safe-yet amaz-
ingly powerful liquid for the douche.
Zonite. So powerful is Zonite, it kills in
stantly all germs and bacteria with which
it comes in contact. Deodorizes-by ac-

Msgr. Ryan Urges Death
For Hitler, Musso|ini

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 27-Msgr. John
A. Ryan of Washington, director of
the National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference, writing in the Post Dis
patch tonight, said Hitler, Mussolini,
their chief associates and the Japa-
neSe war lords should be put to
death by the United Nations as
punishment for their crimes.
Punitive measures on the entire
Axis populations would be "at once
unWise and difficult to justify" he
said, but the men responsible for
the dastardly attack upon freedom
and civilization should not be per-
mltted to go free after the war; they
should get what is coming to them.
The most responsible among
them should be put to death From
the viewpoint Of vindictive, or re-
trlbutive, justice they richly deserve
this fate; from the viewpoint of the
international common good, it would
have a salutary effect upon pros
pectlve violators of international
order. No milder punishment would
have an adequate deterrent effect.
For the minor conspirators
against International justice and
peace, imprisonment, Punishment
and other civil penalties would prob
ably be sufficient; certainly they
would be ethically justifiable.

up table showing how many of the
familiar kitchen-cup measurements
can be procured from various cans
and packages of frozen Or dried
foods before they start shopping.
Merchants whose experience with
rationing hitherto has been con-
fined to sugar and coffee sales, ap-
preached the monumental task of
parceling out large part of their
stocks according to point values with
the conviction that retailing prac-
