If you want proof of the excellent effects of regular hours, balanced diet and a bit Of exercise each day just take a look at a WAAC.
 Their clear eyes, blemish-free compleXions and winning smiles are attributes every girl can boast about, If she wants to take the trouble to form a few of their simple health habits.
 Begin by drinking plenty of water, milk and fruit juices each day. Make certain that you eat some sort of green vegetables or salad at lunchtime and for dinner, And keep in mind that roasted or broiled meat, poultry and fish arc much more digestible than fried fare.
 If setting-up exercises bore you, then try walking mile each day --elther to and from work or on your lunch hour and find q friend who'll spend an evening or two q week with you at badmin- ton, ping pong or swimming.
 And drop the habit right now of getting five or six hours sleep one night and trying to make up for it the next. It can be done. Re- member, every hour you sleep before midnight is worth two after.

 When she makes up her mind to that, she is all right. She is even better off if she goes one step fur ther and is really glad that every home doesn't have to be broken up the way hers is.

 Then, instead of resonting the fact that Mary still has her nus band with her. she will be glad for Mary glad for all the homes in America that have remained intact despite the war
 Gaining that attitude is worth the effort it takes to any war wife.
 For loneliness and worry and sorrow are hard enough to bear without adding envy and bitterness to them.
 The war wife who is glad for her friends who still have their men with them is going to be far happier than the war wife who is jealous of them and who asks her self why should she be so lucky as to have her husband with her still, while I'm having to live alone?

earth to hang up your fur scarf,
there is new closet accessory
which solves the problem nicely.
It's rather large chrome ring,

through the ring.
Keep leftover pancake batter

add one-half teaspoon of soda for
each cup of batter.
The best way to clean lamp
chimneys is to rub them with
newspaper on which has been

make them much clearer than
when soap is used, and they also

SOUTH PACIFIC:
jap Casualties Heavy

From New Guinea came Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's consoling an
nouncement that American casual
ties in the victorious Papuan cam
paign were less than half the Japa-
nese losses. Previous statements had
said that Japanese Papuan army
OF $4,000 had been wiped out. This
indicated American casualties might
have totaled 1000, including those in
capacitated by sickness.
AS General Macarthur consolidat-
ed his forces for the drive to clear
the enemy out of the rest Of New
Guinea, military activity was limit
ed to continuous bombing of enemy
bases. The raids included heavy
concentration on Lac, which is ex-
pected to be the next target of Mac
Arthur's offensive operations.
The navy department disclosed
that new Jap air base established
within easy raiding distance of
Guadalcanal in the Solomons had
been strongly attacked by American
bombers. The new Jap airfield is on
Ballale island, about 800 miles north
west of Henderson airfield on Quad
alcanal.
The navy likewise announced that
in air action over Wake island, a
number of Jap Zero planes had been
shot down, while all United States
aircraft had returned safely to their
fields.

CORN GROWERS:

Corn belt farmers and western

share of the $685., 500, 900 in benefit
payments to be distributed among
growers for complying with last
years federal crop control pro-
grams, it was indicated in a prelim-
mary report of the department Of
agriculture on 1912 farm subsidies.
Southern cotton farmers will get
the smallest amount since 1886,
largely because of the improved
price position of this crop.
The Department. figures disclosed
that payments to wheat farmers will
total $133, ATT 900, compared with
$107 1853 for the 1941 crop. Corn
payments will amount to $188, 49,
600, which is the record for that
crop. Payments on the 1871 crop
totaled $13O, 1876, 900.
Cotton payments for 1912 will
amount to about $78, 1888 900, COM
pared with $184, 957 900 in 1941 and a
peak of $265, 595, 900 for the 1888 crop.
Until the 1912 crop year, cotton pay
ments exceeded those for any other
commodity.

NAZI PEACE:
Offensive Is Nipped

AS political observers viewed in
perspective President Roosevelt's
historic North Africa conference
with Prime Minister Churchill, the
conviction grew that one of the most
significant but unheralded results of
that meeting was the forestalling of
a prospective new German peace Of
fensive.
For several months it had been
evident in world chancellories that
Hitler would offer a compromise
peace as part of his 1913 plans. Re-
ports had indicated that his pro-
posals would be made through nom
belligerent Spain and would include
an offer to withdraw from Western
Europe while still retaining terrific
ries occupied in Poland, Russia and
the Balkans.
In the light of these disclosures
the Casablanca declaration that the
Allied nations would be satisfied with
nothing short of the unconditional
surrender of Germany, Italy and
Japan, definitely destroyed this spu-
rious peace offensive.
President Roosevelt's visit with
President Vargas of Brazil at Natal,
en- route home, was significant of the
solidity of South Americas adhesion
to the Allies. Observers believed
Axis peace moves would make no
dent in Latin America, even if made
through still-neutral Argentine.

TUNISIA:
Actiuity Stepped Up

Indications that the long awaited
offensive to drive the Axis out OF
North Africa might be near, were
seen in reports of the recapture' OF
several central Tunisian positions
with which the enemy had sought to
form a line of protection for the
TANKS of Marshal Rommeps army
retreating into Tunisia from Libya.
Conferences of top American and
British military chiefs in Casablanca
even after the departure of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill had emphasized the impor-
lance of the next Allied moves.
Lieut.. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's
American forces had driven the Ger
mans back from six to nine miles
in the Ousseltia Valley and had
pressed steadily toward a pass
through which RommePs troops
must pass in their effort to join Ger
man Gen. Won Arnim's army.
RommePs widely strung out rear
guard had been constantly under at
tack by General Montgomery's Brit
ish Eighth army.
One of the heartening features of
the American activity was that this
drive had recaptured several posi-
tons of tactical Importance previ-
ously lost by the French when Ger
man armored units had smashed
through their lines.

WAR HAS NOT DULLED
FAITH OF OUR SOLDIERS

l SPENT recent weekend in a
hotel in one of the large cities. That
hotel was filed with men of the ma
TONS armed services. In it is a
long lounge room, the walls of
which are covered with beautiful oil
paintings. There are landscapes and
seascapes, pictures of old castles,
of ships, of dancing girls and of fes-
tivities. But the one picture which
attracted the attention of those fight
ing men of ours was entitled Faith"
1t was picture of an elderly moth
er, sitting beside the cook stove in
a modest cottage kitchen. On her
lap lay the Bible and on her face
was a serene peace and confidence
that was the very essence of faith.
Of the many masterful paintings,
that is the one before which those
fighting men gathered and about
which they talked. 1t symbolized
for them that Christian civilization
for which they are fighting, and the
home and family, the peace and
faith, to which they hope to return.
That interest was an omen of the
future of our America. We will con-
tinue to be in the future, as in the
past, Christian nation. War has
not dulled the faith of our fighting
men.

death in troubled waters of World

the oil, become soaked, and are

In time the fuel oil peculiarly
