NEW YORK - When the cur
tain rises on an improviSed stage
in one Of the various theaters
of war, the performer not only
must mind his cues, but a book
full of don'tS and dos regarding
behavior at the front.
Along with his medical exam
and various NEGOTIATIONS, the en-
tertainer bound for service over
seas hears special lectures on
conduct, and studies the indoc-
trination booklet, "A Guide to
the Foxhole Circuit" recently is
sued by USO-Camp Shows under
auspices of the National War
Fund.
Big-time stars who donate
their time, and performers in
low income brackets who are
paid nominal salaries receive the
same admonition: Your work is
Morale-Your weapon is the gag
and whatever you do, keep it
clean.
"A month from now you may
be playing from the back of a
truck or on a matched roof stage
in the jungle, but whatever the
conditions, whether before 10
men or 10000, play it as though
you were on the stage at Radio
City"
Troop troupers are further ad-
vised: Don't gripe-wherever
you are, you are the guest of the
Army and there is always good
reason for inconvenience in
zone. Take them in your stride.
Don't wave the flag. The men
you play to won't need pep talks.
They fight. You entertain.
Don't talk down TO your
audience. The average Ameri-
can serViceman is intelligent and
doesn't care to be patronized.
Don't underestimate your audi
ence. 1t is critical, no matter
how strong its need for enter
tainment. Don't wear out your
welcome with too many encores.
Don't sympathize too much.
No soldier likes to be wept over
in public. Refrain from using
the word "boys". Battle makes
men of boys. Don't argue with
fellow entertainers in public.

Nurse
By MARY BEARD
Director, Nursing Service,
American Red Cross
Written for NEA Service

Diabetes is a disease caused
by the failure of the pancreaS
gland TO secrete a substance
called insulin that is essential 10
the body in the utilization Of
sugar.
According 10 statistics pre-
pared by the Metropolitan Lie
Insurance Company, II out OF
every 20 people over 40 years OF
age who have diabetes were
overweight before they de-
vcloped the disease. More wom-
en- than men have it, and certain
families seem TO have tendency
TO it. The age period from 40 to
60 years is the time Of life when
the disease is most common.
In mild cases, early symptoms
may not be noticeable. However,
one should be suspicious of such
signs as excessive thirst, an in
creased amount of urine, con-
slant hunger, loss Of energy or
loss Of weight, itching skin with
no sign of skin eruption. In old
er persons a series of boils or
carbuncles may be the first sign
of diabetes.
The doctor will prescribe the
diet for the diabetic patient &C
cording to individual needs, but
it is the responsibility Of the
home nurse TO see that the doc
tors orders are carried out. If
insulin is prescribed, the physi-
clan will instruct either the
home nurse or the patient how TO
use a hypodermis to give this
treatment.
OIL ALLAYS ITCHING
Diabetes patients must be
carefully protected from infec-
tons of any kind. Even a head
cold may result in complications.
The skin is likely to become dry
and to itch intensely. Scratching
may cause irritations that easily
come infected, and such LESSONS
are very difficult to heal. Oils
and creams may be used on the

WOOED WARRIOR

MANHATTAN, Kans.-(R)-
1t. Walter Ehlers, CongresSion-
al Medal of Honor winner, had
for his first date on his 30-day
furlough all the members Of a
Kansas State College sorority.
After being serenaded with
Christmas carols by the sorority,
Ehlers stammered, would you
like to attend a dance I'm going
to tonight"
The answer was a chorus Of af-
firmatives. The war hero ended
up with bevy of girls.

Tree Spouts Pumpkins
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - 4

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - U.D
For years it was regarded as
an ordinary mulberry tree, but
Mrs. Sarah Barnes found that
something new had been added
as she reached up and picked
pumpkins from the branches of
her backyard fruit tree. She did
not plant any mulberry or
pumpkin seeds, but she proudly
shows off her "pummulberry"
tree. The pumpkin vine had
climbed up the tree.

holic lotions should be avoided
because Of their drying effect.
Old people are likely to be
troubled with cold eXtremities.
But heating devices, other than
warm blankets, should not be
applied to the feet because the
circulation is poor and the pa
tient will burn very easily.

also recommends that each owner
keep a record of the serial number
of his stamp for protection in case
Of loss.
Every owner Of motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
must secure a $500 use tax stamp
and affix it to his vehicle on or
before July |, the collector empha-
sized, as failure to do so will sub
ject violators to severe penalties i'm
posed by law.
Postoffices will sell the stamps
only over the counter for cash, not
by mail, and will not sell any for
denominations of less than $500.
Owners liable for payment Of the
use tax stamp for periods OF less
than full year must obtain their
stamps in lesser denominations from
the collector Of internal revenue.
Collectors are authorized to accept
cash, postoffice money orders, and
certified checks in payment. I'm

Two More Hats
ossed Into Rinu

Two more candidates tossed their
hats into the proverbial ring this
week. The first one was Oliver
Phillips, recent conner to Libby who
has purchased the Lincoln County
Abstract Co. Mr.. Phillips is an at
torney and seeks the republican
nomination for county attorney. He
comes here from Richey Mont.
j. A. Krall has announced his
candidacy for nomination to the
office OF state representative, on the
republican ticket. MIR. Krall is an
other man who really needs no in
PRODUCTION to Lincoln county people.
Until few months ago he was
proprietor of the KralIs Grocery in
Libby for over 20 years and he has
alse- beer active in civic matters.
He served for a number of years as
member Of the city council, and
was president Of both the Lions
club and the Libby Commercial
club. He is well known throughout

Can You Keep
A Military
Secret?

All right, then, keep every one
you know. The various volunteer
defense organizations throughout
the country are now conducting
campaigns to impress on the Ameri-
can people the Importance OF safe
guarding military information. The
Army, Navy and FBI have asked
for these campaigns because too
much military information is leak
ing out. An individual may know
very little, but if he tells that bit it
can be put together with other bits
and thus become important. For
instance, divulging a sailing date of
friend in the service may endan-
ger whole convoy. Or revelation
by defense worker that he has
made SO many bolts in day may
reveal the entire production of a
factory. You can help by buttoning
your lip and insisting that other
people button theirs. What the
enemy doesn't know may hurt him.
What's more impOrtant-what the
enemy doesn't know won't hurt us.
