Once again we hear reports about the governors mansion in Hartford which has been in the process of renovation. The latest report is that work on same will be discontinued for the duration. Un- fortunately the decision to maintain home for this purpose came at a time when it is difficult to find workers, pri- critics, and such like. Other people have also suffered disappointments as to build- ing homes for the future.

Selected Poem
"OH, GRIM, GRAY SHIPS" (Julia Cory in The New York Times

Oh, grim, gray ships that weather fearful odds How peacefully you rest
 Upon the rivers quiet ebb and How. A haven safe and blest,
 Before the voyage far on which you go The busy city near you onward plods And yet you aloof from all its life, Its pleasure and its strife;
 And here you have no sense of fear, no strain, No stark surprise. no terro and no pain, No lurking foe to strike you unaware For a brief space you have reprieve from care! Oh, grim, gray ships your men are stanch and tru' They risk their lives that other men may live By means of food and arms you carry through The things that we must give
 Oh. grim gray ships you house a gallant crew, And we who pass, look long at you and say. Were proud of men and ships like these today!"

 YOU HEART AND CIRCULATION
 Smoking impairs efficiency od the circulation and causes degen- erative diseases of the heart end arteries (cardiovascular degenera- tion) because the smoker mhalee carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke and the carbon monoxide crowas out oxygen from the blood and so the blood delivers lese oxygen to the cells and the smoker is in Q con- stant stacte of anCxia or oxygen deficit.
 Use of alcoholic beverages or NQuqoqrs causes cardiovaScular de- generation in a different way. The occasional, moderate or steady drink CT is able to oxidize and derive en- ergy from 8 limited amount Of alcohol, and has less need for the energy he or she would normally derive from oxidation or combus- tion of food. From oxidation or combustion of alcohol in the body person gets more calorieS than from combustion of starch. sugar or protein; but not so many cal- ories as from combustion of oil or fat. But the capacity of the body to oxidize alcohol is always limited If the drinker consumes no more alcohol than he or she can burn and utilize as energy there is no alcoholic odor on the breath-if the breath has the characteristic odor that indicates that the drink CT has taken more than he or she can burn. The excess mrly intox- icates, poisons, narcotics, depresses. weakenS.
 When a person consumes even a little alcohol every day he or she can and usually does take less food, since the alcohol yields calorieS. Taking lss food he or she is pret- ty certain to get less vitamins than he or she would get from an or dinary diet-even though the or dinary diet of most people today is deficient in essential vitamins. So the drinkers daily intake of vita mins is extremely low. He or she almost invariably suffers, and often seriously, from vitamin B complex deficiency. One of the functions of vitamin B1 (thiamin) and of B2 (ribof1avin) is to catalyze (promote or accelerate) oxidation of dextrose (blod sugar. in the heart cuscle-- remember?-I often call vitamin B complex real heart tonic, and this is the physiological reason why.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Prospective Mother May Paint For the sake of some unfortunate woman who might accept your ad- vice concerning the harmlessness of painting and vanishing during ex- pectancy I can tell you that our granddaughter lost her child from just that mistake-she inhaled so much terpentine. (Mrs. c. D. M.)
 Answer-Nonsense, Ma'am. The expectant mother may do any painting, vanishing, wall-papring or other job she wishes to do. It is absurd to imagine inhaling turpen- tine would do the expectant mother or her unborn child any serious harm. Any one painting or varnish- ing indoors at any time should have good ventilation while doing the work and keep the place well ven- tilated until the job is dry.

Formula for

RUSHVILLE. Ind. Aug. 13
(INS)-Wendell L. Willkie pre-
scribed a formula today by which,
he said, the Republican Party
could take over the White House
and Congress in 1914
The Republicans, he said, must
present a realistic" foreign policy
and a constructive, liberal do
nestle program of expanding
economy, developed primaril y
through forces of private initiative
with an equitable distribution of
profits and social benefits among
labor, agriculture and industry"
He said the foreign policy must
be based on exclusive" recogni-
ton of the democratic forces in
enemy and occupied countries;
Americas effective cooperation
in a world council and treaties
with other nations TO preserve
peace; and creation of stable me-
diums of international exchange
and elimination of unnecessary
trade barriers TO expand COM
merce throughout the world.
"The Republican program"
Willkie continued. "must not be
based upon glittering and in
definite promises or the division
of our people into warning and
embittered groups.
mo party was ever presented
with such an exciting challenge
as is offered TO the Republican
Party today nor with such an
opportunity" he said.
