Better Health

YESTERDAY we discussed

the dying year.
With new year ahead of US,
! feel inclined 10 echo the advice
of my friend, DR.. Thurman B.
Rice OF the Indiana state board
OF health, who in these times
recommends vitamins for the

A vitamin is a substance

and make your food more read
lily absorbed and more readily
used in the body economy.
When they are insufficient IN
the diet the individual goes on
living, but he says.
WHAT is true about the phys
w ical body is true about the
spiritual body.
We have all sorts of things,
humble and solid and wholesome.
which nourish our mental and
spiritual processes: we read
newspapers. we have discussions
with our friends. We read buSi-
ness bulletins, we listen 10 COM
mercial continuities on the
radio, hear all sorts Of gossip
about the war.
All these things are necessary
on lower plane. but a great
many of Us need a lift" 10 raise
our thinking and our feeling 10
higher level.
That is what Doctor Rice
means by "vitamins for the
soul"
Nowadays tie physical health
is likely 20 be affected by the ex-
element and stress of the times.
Whether the news is good or
bad, acceptable or not accept

ant world TO live in from the

To Investigate Strike

PITTSBURGH, July IA (P,.-The
Government made its first move
under the Antistrike Act today by
converting a special session of the
Federal Grand Jury here to inquire
into the lingering coal strike that
began June 20.
Nearly nalf the 10000 still idle
miners in the rich southwestern
Pennsylvania coal field, most Of
whose output goes directly to steel
mills, were scheduled to return to
work as the inquiry began.
All the others among the Nations

but more than nalf were out on

President Roosevelt's veto, the act
which provides stiff penalties for in
terrupting production at Govern
ment-operated plants.

Workers have insisted that miners

ordered back to work by the UNIV
Policy Committee June % are

Steel producers, pledged to add
100000 tons to their monthly war
production output, welcomed the
announcement of Fuel Administra-
tor 1ckes yesterday, that he was
diverting 100000 tons Of coal to the
steel industry, which has shut down

work stoppage.

A new type Of ships propeller was

Kisko Island Attacked
In Three Air Raids

Three new air attacks on the jap

ported yesterday by the Navy.
The raids were reported in COM
munique which said the specific
detectives were the enemy's in
stallations at North Head and the
main camp areas. Results were not
observed because of poor weather,
the communicate said.
The raids were made by Army
Liberator heavy bombers and
Mitchell and Ventura medium
bombers.
Kiska has been bombed little
more than dozen times this
month, although since July l it has
been bombarded three times by
United States surface units. The
warships apparently are carrying on
the work of destruction which the
