Your Health
 By pr. William Brady
ARE YOU REDUCTNGY

Aside from the scientifically rec ognized function of vitarnin Hl as Q kind of cataiyst to carbohydrata combustion or metabolism (''poor mans insulin'D there Is a mass Of clinical evidence in the experiences of a large nulmber of persons foi. lowing a reducing regimen. that the object. that is, weight reduction and improved health, is more readily achieved if the diet is prop- eriy supplemented with the required vitamins and minerals enough. at least, to keep the intake from fall- ing below the level the body de- mands to maintain normal health and functional efficiency.
 Unfortunately there is some mis- understanding on the part of physi- clans and laynen in regard to the effect of vitamin B1 on appetite. Because los of appetite is one symps tom in advanced beriberi- such as seldom occurs in America--there has been an inference that vitamin B1 gives you big appetite. The uniform experience of individuals on a reducing regimen is that the use of a suitable daily vitanin supplement tends to moderate or let us say norrnalize the craving for too-easy-to-eat refined carbo- hydrates and makes it easier for the patient to stick to the regimen. If vitamin B1 had any specific ef- feet on appetite (which we know it hasn't) these individuals following Q reducing regimen would cer- tainly not observe this effect.
 Alcoholic beverages or liquors are hardly nourishing yet alcohol itself yields more calories to the ounce than lean meat or cheese does, less than butter, cream or other fat does. For instance al ounce of sugar or starch yields 11O calories. An ounce of pure alcohol yields 200 calories. An ounce of peanuts yields no calories. An ounce of cognac, brandy, whlskey, cordial or liqueur yields an aver age of 75 calories.
 The relation between an individ- ual's alcoholic intake and flahbi- ness is not merely a question of calories. It is rather a question of the capacity of the individual to oxidize or burn alcohol in the body Normal persons can oxidize only Q fraction of an ounce day. Steady or hard drinkers may oxidize two or three times as much as that. /
 People who become obese (flab- by obeslty) drinking beer or wine do so because they burn alcohol to supply immediate energy and then, having no need for further energy, they store as fat the fuel (food> they should burn for energy.

SUGGESTS PRESIDENT, M R s. ROOSEVELT TAKE FIRST
 "SALARY"CUT

To The Editor of The Democrat
 Maybe the President Is right absolutely right.
 If what we want and should have is equality of sacrifice" why should any one-be he movie star, produc- ton executive, coupon clipper" politician or mechanic draw $67 200 or $25 ,000-or even $l0,000 year or $i an hour? Why any more than our soldiers $50 month and sub sistence?
 If we are going to adopt a level- ing-oR basis, what, justification can there be for stopping arbitrarily at $25 poo a year for some and 5000 a year for others, with six or eight millions of $600-a-year men giving up their jobs and risking their lives, besides? How can anybody equal their sacrifice?
 If the President believes there should be equality of economic sacri- flee, should not the leveling-off to the soldiers $50 month begin with Mir. and Mrs. Roosevelt and extend to the official family, to Senators, Congressmen, judges, diplomats, governors, all government employees to union labor leaders and organi- gers, radio commentators, "produc- ton soldiers" on the home front and officers of the fighting forces everybody on the same economic level of $50 a month and subsis- tence?
 Men in industry, against whom the Presidents $25,000 net salary limitation is directed, have been paid large salaries for producing large results. They have been paid for brains and ability. They know their jobs.
 The President of the United States Is paid on the same basis. Our Senators and Congressmen, Cabinet officers, the ranking off, cers of our Army and Navy, all receive more than those whom some call "the workers" Why? Because in our society each has been paid for his specific type of ability, his degree of intelligence, his capacity for leadership. If the President and Mrs. Roose- welt will take leadership in leveling down all incomes, their own included to the pay of the common soldier, will be for making 1t universal. But let Us get to 1t in a Constitutional manner and not by Executive Decree at once and by Act of Congress, not by piecemeal usurpations. Let the people know this Is contemplated and let them at least have their ''day in court" in making the de- cision.
 We are at war. Equality of sacri- ice" Is @ wonderful idea. Think 1t over, MT. Congressman
 Just who will pay the taxes or buy the bonds to run the war will be another problem. Perhaps the collaborating experts of the CIO and the Treasury will have a plan.
 Sincerely yours, c. 6. MCCLURE.

 Reason for this is new WIPE Boss Charlie Wilson, recent head of General Electric. Wilson has not changed these plans because of any special regard for the com- fort of congressman. The change briefly boils down to this. The cooling systems were needed be- cause of their compressors, for cognpressors are one great bottle- neck of war production today.
 CompressorS are used in making synthetic rubber, high octane gasoline, and other vital war ma terials. And before Wilson took over WIPE production the ordering of cornpressors was pretty much of Q mess. There was no CO.,

Selected Poem
SPRING FAMILIES

SPRING FAMILIES CFrances Frost in The New York Sun) March shakes the p':ssywillows out of their brown wintry beds, and gets the first grass-children up and combs their tousled heads. April mixes silver rain
 And golden sun to suds to wash the scarlet petticoatS

ordination. The Navy, the Army had bid against each other. The Maritime Commission and Lend- Lease had bid against each other. The Maritime Commission and Lend-Lease had bid against them. Each had gone to the best com pressor companies, and factories were loaded with orders that would not be finished for some years.
 So wilson called in all the com. pressor companies, and had them line up their orders. Then he told them to add extra shifts to their own plants and subcontract to about 300 smaller plants.
 Wilson talks the language of Q manufacturer, not of Q bank. or or Wall Street broker (the WIPE, Army and Navy are load
 cd down with bOth). The com.
 pressOr manufacturers knew that if they didn't produce, Will son would demand their designs and set up competitors who would be in business against them after the war. That Is the last thing they want.
 Wilson didn't have to make any threats. They understood his language. He Is getting the compressors.
 NEW CONVERTS
 m NEP0TTSM
 Most Congress freshmen prefer to be seen and not heard, but there's nothing backward about them where nepotism is concerned.
 Here are few of the Congress sional yearlings, most of them Re. publicans, who are drawing extra pay checks for members of their families:-
 Representative Alvin E. O'Kon- ski, Republican, of Wisconsin His wife, Veronica H. O'Konski, Is his secretary at $S,900 Q year.
 Representative James c. Auch. incloss, Republican, of New Jersey His wife, Lee Auchincloss, gets $3,200 year.
 Representative Henderson Car. son, Republican of Ohio-ais wife, Ella Carson, is on the payroll, at $1,700 a year.
 Representative Norris PauIsOn, Republican, of Ca1ifornia-Pays his daughter, Erna, Q clerk, Sl'- 370 Q year.
 Representative John F. NewsOme, Democrat, of Alabama-Fis wife, Lulu H .Newsome, is on the pay- roll at $l,100 a year.
 Representative James Gallagher, Republican, of Pennsylvania Pays his son, James Gallagher, Jr., clerk, $l,250 year.
 Representative Thomas Gordon, Democrat of Illinois = Has a daughter, Pomona, on the pay roll, at $1,000 year.

 SPANISH DAGGER
 AT U. s. BACK
 Here is the lowdown on the visit of Francois special representative, ex-Spanish Foreign Minister Beig- beder, to this country.
 Franco's regular representa- tive Ambassador Juan Car denas, has been sending him what he wanted to hear, rather than the truth about the way the American people have put their hearts into the war. Cardenas had emphasized the clash of personalities and inefficiency of war production which get into the headlines but Is not the general rule.
 When D. s. officials learned of this, they conceived the idea of bringing a special Franco envoy to the U. s. A. to get the real picture. Actually 1t was the War Department. not the State Department, W ich matched the inspiration and which is taking him on tour of war plants and Army posts to drink in the real spirit of the war effort.
