a statement to the effect that the number of cases of syphilis during the past calendar year have decreas- ed from the total of cases reported for the year 1943 when the larg- est cases of syphilis for 1914 was 2,704. The number of cases of gonorrhea reported in 1914 was 1897 as compared with 1,443 for 1943.
 Remarkable advances have been made during the past year in the treatment of these diseases. Peni- cilin has been found to be an ef- fective cure when properly used in the treatment of gonorrhea and is now found to be far superior to the sulfa drugs which have become less effective than when first introduced. Due to the scarcity of peniciIlin and the priority given to the armed forces for the use of this drug, the Connecticut State Department of Health has made penicillin avail able to all local health officers throughout the state for infectious cases of syphilis and sulfa-resistant cases of gonorrhea.
 It is encouraging to receive ths splendid cooperation of physicians and health officers in the hospital ization and treatment of these in- fectious cases of venereal diseases. The courts and police departments throughout the state have aided ma terially in seeing to it that all vice cases were examined for venereal disease before disposition was made of the case in the court. As of December 30, 1914 almost thou sand such individuals had been ex- amined.
 Much more work remains to be done in informing the public, and in particular the youth of our state about these social diseases. The day is rapidly dawning when edu- cation will be a greater force in preventing these diseases. Informa- tional material such as literature, motion pictures lectures, etc. is al- ways available from the State De- partment of Health or through the local health departments Every community is urged to participate in every possible way.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Special Powder BaniSheS Shine
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

What can you suggest for nose shine that still gleamS after you've tried all the usual aidS?"
 A doctors chemist, to whom I put this readers question, says a face powder containing a small percentage of sulphur would be the answer, provided Mrs. "X' doesn't have an allergy to sulphur.
 To make sure that she doesn't --and you, too, if you want to use one of these specially formulated powders to blot up shine from an oily skin-try the powder out on a small area of your forearm before using it on your face. If there's no reaction after you make the patch test, sulphur powder is safe to use Whats more, 1t will give you as much cosmetic flattery as any other face powder because 1t is available in as beguiling tints.

 Furthermore, she will never try to convince him that she did those jobs as well or even better than he did them.
 It's his work, and there is go- ing to be no argument from the little woman about her having es- tablished seniority rights in his absence.
 He can step right back into his old job of being the man around the house" without any jealousy from the woman who has been pinch hitting for him at home.
 Of course, the little woman might have found "men's work" more fascinating and soul-satiS- flying if she had been paid for M. with time and a half for over- time. That might have made all the difference in the world. ! Copyright, l046, MA Service. Incl

Scientist Claims
Beer Is Food Asset

In an article, "The Nutritive Value
of Beer" published in England, the
author, r. H Hopkins, British
Scientist, made the following pertin-
ent comment:
TT is wrong to think of beer as
a stimulating and refreshing drink
only; its additional asset as a food
should be duly emphasized. 1t large
ly combines the value of tea and
coffee, which, without milk and
sugar, are merely stimulants, with
that of milk, which is merely a food,
and it possesses certain advantages
over these in respect of the ease
and rapidity with which it is absorb
ed and converted in the body tissues
into useful energy.
Beer, when taken with other
suitable foods in such quantity as
three pints of light beer per day, is
a food, and can economic the con-
sumption of about II ounces of white
bread, but can be absorbed more
easily than the latter. Not only has
beer heat-producing properties; il
can also supply its reasonable share
of potash and phosphates, which are
among the more important mineral
matters required for tissue repair.
THE value of beer as stimulant
to appetite and digestion is no slight
one, especially to those who have
acquired taste for this, the oldest
of our national drinks"
