Anton Jakob nj bill prijeten

mesece trpelo skodo zaradi ME-

Berna, katerega so navsezadnje
poklicali, ga je preiskal in izja-
vii, da je operacija neizbezna.
Anton Jakob je grbancil svoj
upadli, skoraj usnjati obraz in
godrnjal:
"Tako, aha! Operacija! Ia
vraga vendar!'
Po skrbni diagnozi je Rupp
nasel Sc dvoje manjsih bolezen-

odresenja.
"Preklet maj bom," je dejal
nekega dne in pokazal S treso-

Nekega dne je postalo njego-

JAP BALLOON BOMBS
AND WARNINGS

. Permission to print in somewhat detail
% the story of Japan's "bombardment'' of
- United States mainland by small, free
. balloons carrying crude bombs again re-
!, veals the one hundred per cent coopera-
ton of the American press with war tao
: tics of the government Decision of the
war and navy departments to release the
story twenty-four hours after divulging
= it through circulars read in the schools is
not explained
The Press had kept the secret over a
long period.
Primarily it appears the whole affair
was made public as warning measure to
vacationists in many parts of the western
area where summer weather takes many
to the outdoors. The warning should
be Needed since there have been number
of fatalities through tinkering with un-
exploded missiles used in military train
ing. It now appears these Jap bombs
are likely to be found in out-of-the-way
places and may not be recognized as
lethal in character from their type of
construction
Only 9 few months ago boy was in
eiurad critically when companion fired
a rifle bullet into "dud" bomb dropped
from military installation plane a few
miles from FL Centro
AS to the Jap bombs and the origin of
release, the information given out at
WASHINGTON has nothing to offer. The
aerial visitors are easy to recognize, how
ever and their very popularity should be
warning enough, if found anyway near
intact, for the finder. In size they cor
respond to the larger parachutes, but are
constructed of paper, probably of rice
straw Most certainly one of them found,
say in the Laguna mountains would at
%.once suggest caution. With public school
closing time at hand, the open spaces in
the mountains will be populated by hum
dreds of boys and girls, camping and
spicknicking. None should forget the
warnings.

State Selective Service headquarters
has announced that California local
boards have been ordered to stay

and draft regulations announced in
Washington
The men for whonl stays OF induc-
ton have been ordered are those

lao, and I'VE. Included in the
group are 1876 fathers, Col K. H.
Leitch, state director of Selective
Service, said.
This action" he said, was taken
in order that the local boards might

MORE SUBSIDIES
FOR MORE MEAT

Will we have more meat, and will the
greatest surplus of live beef stock begin
to reach the American civilians tables?
are questions Immediately tied up in
new venture with subsidies.
In one of the largest cattle-feeding
areas in the country, Imperial Valley folk
extremely are interested in the War Food
Administration latest move. 1t is the
decision to begin distribution of $35, ,000,-
600 in government premiums to feeders.
Actual distribution is within few days
of starting
Conclusive statistics show that the
western ranges never counted so many
cattle. But the packers were not getting
them under the plan to pay them the SUBJ
sidy. The period between the production
of an animal of proper age for feeding
and it's slaughter became "drouth" and
the stock has stayed on the ranges or
what comparative few animals that
reached the slaughter houses had not
gone through the fattening stage. Hence
the poor grade of meat which did reach
the table, in dribbling amounts.
Congress and the various governmental
{ agencies in control of meat distribution
! had dire warnings that the packer-subsidy
! would not alleviate the ever increasing
! shortage, but the plan nevertheless, was
|, tried out. It's failure also threatened
J the meat supply for the military services.
) Incidentally, the American household
ers will pay the subsidy. 1t will be paid
! through the Commodity Credit Corp, a
government agency which derives it's
funds by congressional appropriation.
! The fund is drawn from taxes.
: Knowing that there was greater po-
! tential meat supply at hand, there is no
. element of "unpatriotism" in the public's
: demand for more meat

Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day, Nature must produce about
two pints of vital digestive juice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails,
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes. And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
