POLI'S

1.-THE PURPLE HEART" the new sensational hit, is still being shown at the Loew's Poll theater. The picture is based on the in-human Japanese treatment perpetrated on our American prisoners, thus con- firming whatever doubts the Amer jean public might have as to the ex- tstence of barbarian In Japan. The story briefly is of eight American flyers forced down in Jap-controlled China after they had bombed ! Tokyo. They are taken by the pup pet governor of the province to the Japanese authorities, charged with murder, tried" by a civil court in- stead of being prisoners of war The ''evidence" that our flyers bombed hospitals and "shrineS" is faxed from Japanese earthquakes motion pictures. During the most grotesque "trial" scene imaginable to us, who do not live in Japan, our men tor- tured and finally all sentenced to death-tortured because they would not reveal to the high muck-a- mucks of the Army. the Navy and to the "court" whether or not their bomber came from a carrier. If 1t had, heavily be- medalled on1cer of the Navy would have been disgraced. With this, in view, the tortured Americans reveal nothing after hav- ing been given choice of life or death, and thus go to their end in a soul ul-exalting march, to the wall. No topical picture so stimulates our pride an being Americans. Patriotic ally speaking, no tears should come to our eyes, rather, we should feel Q surge of triumph - compliment ang the linconquerable Soul Of America, so well instiiled in these our men. For them, THE PURPLE xIEARTl And we see, in our minds eyes = SO powerful is the detluonce- iment to this picture - the shade of Washington standing at reverent salute as these our men of Bataan, of Wake, of Midway, of Huon, of Fsabaul stride toward him, their faces slight with 8 grim, determined smile, to receive from his hands the decoration of THE PURPLE HEART, bestowed only on the bravest of the brave. No true Amer lcan, should miss seeing this fine picture, which comes at precisely the right moment.

 Nutritious Foods
By GAYNOR MADDOX EEA StaR Writer


 Cereals are no-point stars that deserve important parts on your menu stage. They are good food, plentiful and easy to serve. Re- member. too, that they combine well with other nourishing foods, as these two recipes will prove.
 Cereal EggnOg Breakfast Bowls
 (Serves q
 Two eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, ? cups milk, cups corn or rice cereal, few grains nutmeg.
 Beat eggs well, adding sugar gradually while beating. Beat in milk. Pile corn or rice cereal in individual bowls; pour eggnog mixture over cereal. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately.
 Applesauce Pancake Wedges

 One cup flour, 3 teaspoons bak- ing powder, 3-4 teaspoon salt, 1 ta- blespoon sugar, egg, 1 1-4 cups milk, cup wheat or bran flakes 3 tablespoons melted shortening, l cup thick applesauce, IA cup brown sugar.

MUST BE HOT
 First, the home nurse should understand that the gargle Is one method of applying heat directly to the inflamed throat membranes for the purpose of removing acc cumulated secretions, relieving con- gestion and pain, reducing swelling and stimulating the circulation. Since the heat is the most sooth- ing feature of the treatment, the longer 1t can be continued the greater the relief will be.
 Tho gargle is usually given about every two hours. The correct pro- portion of salt and water Is one teaspoon of salt to one pint of water; the whole pint to be used for each treatment for an adult patient. The solution should be as hot as the patient can stand 1t with out burning, A lukewarm gargle has little value.
 If the neck is stiff. and the pa- tent finds 1t difficult to hold the head back while he gargles, 1t may bc necessary to use O smaller amount of solution. However, 0 hot water bag placed on the back of the neck will usually keep the neck muscles flexible enough SO that the patient can continue the treatment until the full amount has been used.

vantage of his opponents slip-ups, I played recently at the Mayfair Bridge Club in New York with Capus Waynick of Raleigh, N. O., and the hand shown today came up. Waynick sat East, and made the somewhat optimistic four spade bid. Looking at all four hands, you can see that the con- tract looks quite hopeless, but this is the way he played it.
 North won the opening diamond lead with the ace and shifted to Q spade, South winning. If South had continued with Q spade now, the contract would have been defeated, But South shifted to Q heart, which does not look abnormal.

''Milk does more for the body than any other food and does it more cheaply." That statement by the Bureau of Home Eco- monies of the U. s. Department of Agriculture is forcefully illustrated in this National Dairy Council chart showing the high percentage of each of the daily food elements which are provided by a quart of milk and the other foods neces- sary to complete daily dietary requirements.
 The average cost of a quart of milk delivered to the home in the United States is 15.1 cents. The average cost of other foods needed to complete an economi- cal diet and provide the balance of the nutrients needed daily is

WE, THE WOMEN
- WE, THE WOMEN - No Happy Solution Appears For War -Blighted Marriage

But what of wives who have to decide such e question for them" selves? How are they going to an" swer 1t?
 Well, considering the general attitude against e cheating war wife, shouldn't our attitude be the sayNA toward Q cheating husband2 And if so, then tho wife cer- talnly isn't obligated to give her husband a divorce simply because he asks for 1t, even if 1t is to al- low him to marry some girl in q foreign country who iS about to have or has had 0 baby by him.
 It looks as though the only question 6 wife would have to answer under t.lose circumstances is: "What do I want - aflc what iS the best solution for Ine2"
 MAY WANT DIVORCE
 Of course, she might well decide that the best thing to do would be to get @ divorce and 50 be free to look for @ more settled, depend- able man for Q husband.
 But she also might decide she isn't going to turn her husband over to another woman without strug- gle. Then If she thinks there Is chance of some day getting her hus' band back-providing, Of course, she wants him back under those condi- tions---she certainly has Q right to say No" to 0 divorce until the war is over and she has had Q chance to see and talk with her husband.
 There is no happy solution to the problem. It is Q war problem that IS tragic from beginning to end, and should be avoided by husbands and wives by both sticking as closely to mo dating" rule as though they were living together instead Of apart. Avoidance of the problem is the only happy solution.
