QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Medieval Medicine


 Please tell me what can be done for hemorrhoids. The doctor said 1t is best to burn them out.
 (Mrs. N. W.
 Answer - Progressive physicians everywhere give the injection treat- ment for internal hemorrhoids. This is practically painless, does not interfere with your ordinary work or activities, usually costs no more, perhaps not so much, as the medieval clamp and cautery atroc" ity. Send three-cent stamped en- velope bearing your address, for pamphlet Tt Is Stupid to Suffer from Piles" . Vitamin B-C0mplex and Deafness
 Can you give Us any information or advice concerning vitamin B complex treatment for deafness2 We understand some investigators have found 1t quite helpful in cer- tain kinds of deafness. (J. M. R)
 Answer--Western biologist found degeneration of 8th cranial (audi- tory) nerve a common cause of deafness. He gave series of such patients injections and tablets of vitamin B and urged the patients to include in their diet plenty of complex and many of the patients foods naturally rich in vitamin B. found they could hear better, though seldom did they recover normal hearing. Send three-cent stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, for pamphlet on Tinnitus (head-noises) and Deafness. The Ntamin B.complex treatment at any rate, can do no harm, will very likely improve general health whether 1t improves hearing or not.
 Mastication and Digestion
 According to your articles a per- son who has lost one or more teeth chews less thoroughly, mixes less salivaa with food and therefore has poor digestion. Well, sir, I have only half of my natural teeth left but I chew my food more thorough ly for that very reason, and have gained weight and have less stom- ach trouble in the last ten years.
 co. w., Chemist).
 Answer-Better say in spite of your handicap. According to your contention you'd be better of with no teeth at all. because then you'd chew everything to beat the band, what? ...

Peter Edso@ committees will continws operating along the lines now laid out, with minor shifts in GIMP from time to time as bugs de- velop, and have to be eliminated. Otherwise, no major changes in WIPE machinery.
 Where the Nelson Wilson plans will really affect war production in- dustrtes will be in taking some con- tracts away from some manufac. turers and giving them to others. While at first glance this might seem to be cause for considerable confusion in industry, WIPE spokes- men insist that 1t will not have that effect.
 On the other hand, they believe the redistribution of some contracts will smooth out war production and result in greater production. Con. tracts wiil not be "renegotiated" in the sense that contract prices will be reduced, and no contractor will make any less profits on his opera tions as Q result of redistribution. NEW JOBS FOR IDLE PLANTS
 What will happen is that contrac- tors who have more work than they can handle will have the surplus taken off their shoulders and given to plants that are now idle or not working at full capacity. That is tn- tended to give more dependable pro- duction, Steadier production, with fewer layoffs or shutdowns because of lack of raw materials or com ponent parts for assembly into fin- ished materials of war.
 It is Chairman Nelson's belief that war production can be in- creased by as much as 20 per cent through this orderly handling of war contracts, and without neces- sarily cutting civilian requirements to the barest necessities.
 As an example, Nelson mentions the case of one war contractor, Company x, employing highly skilled labor, which was found to have a fourth of It's productive ca- pacity devoted to the manufacture of parts which did not require high- ly skilled labor. By taking this work away from Company x and reas- signing 1t to other companies, the full capacity of the plant was de- voted to precision work on which 1t was behind schedule. Bringing 1t up to schedule enabled other companies dependent upon the parts furnished by Company x to get Up to their schedules.
 Nelson and Wilson plan to use WIPE field men to scout out plants in which production may be in- creased by getting them needed nna- terials, machine tools, or solving their manpower problems, thus eliminating peaks and valleys of output and insNring a steadier flow of materials in and out of the fac- tory. The actual job of reassigning the contracts, however, will of course be the work of the Army and Navy procurement services which let the contracts in the first place.

THE WAR WILL BE CONTINUED
(New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Tribune)
 In the inaugural speech of Presi- dent Risto Ryti of Finland the flat statement that "the war will be continued" apparently puts @ quietus upon rumors of a separate Finnish peace. This does not neces- sarily follow, since President Ryti reiterated the Finnish policy that national security is the only aim of the Films in this war between the great powers" and that they will not continue to fight when this Is achieved. The definition of security for a nation situated as Finland unfortunately is may be very var fable; certainly 1t Is not consistent with an alliance with a defeated

The importance of food preserVa- tion cannot be stressed too strongly this year. Food is one of the Weap- ons with which we are fighting this war-not only now, but for some time to come - and 1t behooveS us, as housewives, to take steps to pro vide an adequate food supply to maintain the present standard of good nourishment which we are now enjoying.
 To aid the public in Waterbury in obtaining the correct knowledge of how best to take care of the products raised in the many vic- tory gardens of which Waterbury is so proud the Waterbury Nutri- tion Council is presenting golden opportunity to learn the ABC's ot food preservation.
 There will be three demonstra- tions given at different hours on three successive days to enable each and every person to attend one ses- sion. The same demonstration will be given on all three days-so make it point to arrange your schedule to include visit to the Connecti- cut Light & Power auditorium where Miss Margaret Chagnot will give the demonstration.
 There are many ways to preserve goods, and many types of equipment may be used with equal degrees of success. In so far as is possible, all types will be used by Miss Chag- not, in order to help people to use the equipment which they now have on hand.
 Jot down the dates and the time schedule-and then be on hand! Tuesday, June 15-10 a. m. We'd nesday, June 16-2:15 D. m. Thurs day, June 17-7:30 p. m.

Mrs. Dempsey Denies Charges of Misconduct
Former Champs Wife Describes Beatings at Hands
 of Husband Once Threatened With Gun

collapse and Referee J. Adison Young recessed the trial for the day.
 Dempsey, who was on leave as lieutenant commander in the Coast Guard when his side of the double divorce trial was presented, was not in court as his wife testified in be- half of her divorce and separation suits.
 Mrs. Dempsey did not attempt to set the dates of her husbands all legged outbursts, claiming that MT Dempsey has done so many things it's hard to know where to start"
 But she did remember that it was On Mothers Day, 1940, that Demp- sey hit her for the first time, picked her up and threw her into the bed- room clothes closet. That was just before they agreed to separate.
 Mrs. Dempsey emphasized, how ever, that "he never punched me. He slapped me and threw me around bit"
 The former singer pictured Demp- sey as a man of violent jealousy who gave her the pet name of you bum."
 One time during one of his tan trumS, Mrs. Dempsey said, the for mer champion pulled small gun from a dresser, pointed it at her head and said: You're going to be my wife or therell be trouble"
 q told him I'd appreciate 1t if he would take one shot at me and end my misery" she said. The gun incident was not explained further.
 On another occasion Dempsey ar rived home, Mrs. Dempsey testified, and found her sister Mrs. Dorothy Gomey and two men there. He threw Mrs. Gomey into the hall bodily, She said, beat up the men and ordered them out. Then, she added, Dempsey turned to her and shouted:
 You've been sleeping with every man in New York, I've had enough. I've had enough"

VITAL DEFENSE
 PLANS MENACED
More Volunteers Needed to Man Warning Center,
 Observation Posts

T. E. Olsen, communications of- ficer of the local report center, an- nounced today that the manpower situation, 48-hour week, Victory gar- dening activity and other activities, have aggravated the manning of the Chief Report Center to very seri- ous extent. Several efforts to ob- tain volunteers by contacts through radios, club and churches have been ineffective, he said. we are faced with a very grave problem, as we MUST keep the Report Center open 24 hours day. We are appealing to the people of this city to help us.
 It takes over 942 people to man the three warning centers, e., Dis trict Warning Center, Airplane Spotter and the Chief Report Gen. ter, he said. On a bi-weekly basis, 1t takes at least 196 people to man our various shifts, he added, and if we were to return to weekly basis, only half that number would be ne- cessary. Unless we secure at least IS or 29 new volunteers, we shall have to be forced to return to week ly shifts, he declared.
 Recent newspaper and radio re- leases by the army and navy have warned the public that inhabitants of the East and West coast should be prepared for dombings," he said.
 Perhaps there are times, espec- ially in the wee small hours of the morning when the hands of the clock drag themselves slowly around that you feel that no one else realizes that you are on the alert awaiting for call that migh come in at any time which would mean that enemy planes are winging their way toward this city. Those planes must be spotted and signals sent out! That is no menial or unimportant task" he concluded,
