Daily Prayer.
FOR EVERYDAY FORTITUDE

In a gray and stor1n:filled world
our days come and go. All Of the
outlook seems dark: but the uplook
is bright. So we come to Thee, our
changeless Heavenly Father, with
a prayer for reinsurance Of our
faith, that we have Divine fortituda.
in these difficult days. Make strong
our hearts within US, to do and to
endure and to dare. Save us from
all encouragement and defeatism,
and make us happy warriors in the
great Cause which we believe to
be Thy Cause. We lay in Thy
hand all our concern for our boys
in service; for if they are dear
to us they are dearer to Thee, our
Father in Heaven. In Thine own
good time grant them a victory
that will give to the world peace
and brotherhood. And the praise
will be Thine. Amen.-W. T. E.

Your CT is as conservative as was

His Academy Award for street

plicity and style. Some time ago an
editor of popular picture magazine
thought that returning servicemen
would be fall guys for ultra-feminine
gowns. With that in mind the
magazine featured several PAGES of
frilly dresses. My midget Gallup
poll contradicts his nunch. Nine

Dorothy Dix Says

1t is no wonder that the engaged
couples, who have put off their
wedding day until the end of the
war, rush almost from the battle
field to the altar. Theirs has been
the weary waiting and the hope
deferred that maketh the heart sick
and it is only human that they
should be in hurry to snatch at
their cup of happiness.
But, to these, Dr. Clifford R
Adams. who is the director of the
marriage counseling service of Penn
sylvania State College, offers this
bit of sage advice. He says: If
they are wise, they will take warn
ing from the food of divorces that
are inundating the country and
take time to think it over before
they rush into marriage. A waiting
period of four to six months would
give them a chance to note changes
in each other, to make sure they are
still in love, to give the man chance
to adjust himself economically to
civilian life and to give them time
to make plans for their future"
Few of the starry-eyed young
lovers, who have this red light
flashed across their pathway, will
stop, look and listen, but if they
did, they would save themselves lot
of grief Marriage, always hazard
Gus adventure, takes on additional
perils in wartime when a boy and
girl, who have not seen each other
for so long that they are practically
strangers, undertake to live together
These youngsters, will hoot de-
risively at the very suggestion that
they have changed, but both of them
have. They will meet as strangers
and have to get acquainted with
each other and probably both will
be a little disappointed. For each

HOW TO IRON A SHIRT.

Being essentially lazy person,

and tried some ideas and discarded
most on the above subject and the
following routine is the result of
many such experiences:
l. Iron wrong side of collar and
neckband until dry.
2. Iron right side of collar and
neckband until dry.
3. Grasp the bottom of the yoke
(where it is sewn to the back of the
Shirt and lay fiat on the board and
iron until dry, being sure to iron
the sleeve seams across the yoke.
4. Leave the yoke fiat just as you
have finished it and slide shirt to
the left of the board and start on
the inside of the left cuff, ironing
it until dry.
5. Outside of left cuff until dry.
6. Back of left sleeve.
7. Front of the left sleeve, being
sure to go all the way up to the
cuff, but don't bother trying to iron
the shoulder seam until doing the
body of the shirt.
8. Follow the last half of No. 4,
all of No. 5, 6 and on the right
sleeve, being careful not to bend
the collar while turning the shirt
over to do the back and front of
the sleeves.

quantities, however lover 0.3 grams
per day, and especially above
gram daily, if taken for consider
able periods of time, especially
months, it is liable to induce digeS-
tive disturbances.
The Food. Drug and Cosmetic
Act, incidentally, does not permit
the use of saccharin in foods pre-
pared for general distribution.
In brief, here is their case: "It
seems to us that the use of saccha-
rim by homemakers in sweetening
the household food supply should
be definitely discouraged, not alone
material debasement of food value
but because its general employment
might readily lead to a rather ex-
cessive intake of Saccharin by chill
dren and other members of the
household with resulting digestive
disturbances when the intake
amounted to over 03 grams per
day"
The opinion of DR.. Daniel L.
Seckingel, deputy commissioner of
health, paralleled that stated above.
Saccharin for sweetening bever-
ages? Yes. In baking and cam
ming? No.
Actually, how does saccharin re-
spond in cooking? The Bureau Of
Human Nutrition and Home Eco
nomics of the Department of Agri-
culture, states that cooking saccha-
rim brings out a bitter flavor. The
same thing happens when saccha-
rim is used in canning. It's most
satisfactory use is in sweetening
beverages such as tea, coffee. cocoa
and lemonade, adding the saccharin
just as the beverage is served. Very
small amounts should be added to
avoid oversweetening-usually one
4 grain tablet of saccharin gives
the same amount Of sweetening as
a teaspoon of sugar. The purity of
the product determines the degree
of sweetness.

These last two summers we have
used saccharin in iced tea to con-
serve sugar. We purchased it in "
grain tablets, and for our personal
taste used tablets to a tall glass
of tea. I find no difference from
sugar in taste in the tea and they
melt almost instantly.
One caution regarding saccharin
used in cooking for small and grow
ing children: They need adequate
sugar in their diet and saccharin,
of course, supplies none. Another
thought on sugar for children: Our
doctor says that corn sirup and
brown sugar are superior to the
greatly refined white sugar for
children.

Saccharin Facts

Evening star., 1945-07-31

Inc American housewife Is ali III
genious lady. When a scarcity ex-
lists, she does not take it lying
down. Sugar, for instance. A lit
tie has to go a long way these
days--such a long way that the
housewife applies her ingenuity in
force and hits upon possible sub
Stitute-saccharin.
However, the American housewife
is not only ingenious-she is intel
ligent. She has to be sure OF the
merits of the substitute she dis
covers. What are the facts about
saccharin? Here, as we CLEANED it
is the answer.
Our first stop was the Food and
Drug Administration. We said, "Is
it wise to use saccharin in foods
prepared for the person in normal
health?" Ceases involving the pre-
scribing of saccharin by physician
are not included in this discussion
They replied:
l. Saccharin may be used as a
sweetener in beverages prepared In
the home.
2. 1t is not wise to use Saccharln
in cooking.
Here are the facts that support
their conclusion: Saccharin, coal
tar product, has absolutely no food
value. Sugar has high caloric or
food value. Hence, sugar contrib
utes to the quality of the food, as
we'll as sweetens it. When sac
charm replaces sugar in cooking, it
is obvious that reduction in the
food value of the product ensueS;
sweetening may have been accom-
plished, but the calories lost by the
absence of sugar are not replaced.
Then, too, there is the question OF
how much Saccharin may be tol-
Grated by the system. The Food
and Drug Administration has infor-
nation that. in small quantities (0.3
grams per day or less it is not in
furious to normal adults. In large

The following method was Sug-
eested to me by my pediatrician and
used it for my three babies:
Wrap a soft knitted Dabv blanket
around the baby's chest, starting
under one arm toward the back, and
pin it securely to the nightgown, a
pin under each arm far enough back
so he cannot reach it. The blanket
is left loose otherwise, so he has
freedom for both arms and feet and
can sit up or even stand up. The
drawstring-type of nightgown will
keep little baby'S feet warm, as
will pajamas-with-feet for an older
child. In very cold weather a
sweater may be used, and the weight
of the blanket may vary according
10 the temperature. My children
were covered in this way until they
were about years old and never
had to worry about their being un-
covered or having their covers get
tangled. If this 10 not clear may

The American people can be their
own judges of why these elements
within the administration wanted the
committee killed, wanted it's records
suppressed and wanted it's chief in
vestigator drafted.
The Dies Committee had spent
many years in assiduous INVESTI-
CATION of subversive activities in
the United States, which was the
task assigned to it by Congress.
AS the result of it's Investigations,
it had accumulated voluminous EVI-
DENCE of subversive activity.
In ITS records are more than ONE
Il MILLION NAMES of individuals
and organizations against whom
there was evidence or testimony of
subversive activity, affiliation or
sympathy.
This was what the subversive
elements of the country wanted to
die, and they thought they had it
killed when Chairman Dies did not
return for the new session and when
two other members of the committee
failed of reelection.
But they were wrong about Con-
gress, to the great credit of Congress.
Fortunately there is recognition
in Congress, as Rep. Cox of Georgia
said in urging renewal of the inves-
tigating committee as a permanent
body, that;
"There is a lDorld- Uide conspi-
racy--a campaign against constitu-
tionai government - going on all
oUer the world.
"And the people participating in
it arc the people most often de-
nouncing the work of the Dies Com
mittee."
The committee has not only been
continued, but has been given per.
manent status.
It's valuable records have been
kept intact.
The prestige and authority of the
American Congress have been up
held.
The vital interests of the Ameri-
can people have been respected.
