reference to the Russian appeal,

HOME NURSE

The barefoot season with It's
minor casualties always makes
MANY emergency demands on
the home nurse. Are you prepar-

have in your emergency cup
hoard to use for an antiseptic?
Many doctors advise the use
of tincture of iodine for minor
injuries, because it Is reliable
and can be bought at any drug
store. It must be fresh, however,
and must be kept tightly corked.
Another thing to remember is
that the iodine must be allowed
TO dry thoroughly before the
bandage is applied.
Because iodine smarts when
It Is applied to an open wound
children usually object to- 1t.
Perhaps your doctor will suggest
some other antiseptic just as
good and less irritating.
STERILIZE BANDAGES
Do you have a supply of band
ages of different widths on your
emergency shelf? Commercially
prepared bandages are very con-
venient, but you can make your
own if you prefer. A rolled
bandage is much easier to apply
than an unrolled one. Take a
piece of clean, soft, white cotton
material that Is at least hall

very hot iron to sterilize it.
Wash your hands with soar
and water before tearing ano

in strips of different widths-ar

Anderson Asks Army
To Spread Sugar Buying
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Anderson Of the House
Food Committee appealed to the
Army today to spread its sugar buy
ing over several months in order to
prevent q summer drain on the Ma
tion's scant supply.
Mr.. Anderson, who will become
Secretary of Agriculture next month,
asked the Army to hold its buying to
a minimum and to space it evenly
over as many months as possible
after Texas sugar refiner notified
him its Army quota for June had
been doubled in recent days.
The Imperial Sugar Co. refinery at
Sugarland, Tex, informed Mr.. An
derson that its original Government
order for June was 10000 bags. Re-
Gently, officials of the company said,
that order was boosted to 10000
bags out of the companys 250,000
June production.
If this is an indication of what
is happening all over the country,
Mr.. Anderson told q reporter, the
action might create an immediate
shortage.

Gas Ration Stickers
No Longer Needed
On Cars, OPA Says

Those A, B, c and r wind
shield stickers used to designate
their types Of gasoline rations
can be tossed in the ash can.
OPA said today the stickers
no longer are necessary because
the high degree of compliance
with the requirement that con-
sumers indorse their ration cou-
/, pons and the use of serially
numbered coupons sufficiently
identify the vehicle with the
ration holder"
In addition, the new increase
in B rations will find many
present c cardholders whose
mileage Is less than the 650-
miles per month, rating only B
rations on the next renewal
date. Continued use of the
stickers would only cause con-
fusion" the OPA said.

Chinese Forces Push
Into liuchow Suburbs
High Command Says
By the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING. June 8.-The Chi
neSe high command announced to-
day that Chinese forces had fought
their way into the northern suburbs
OF Liuchow and an army spokesman
declared the -recapture of that for
mer American air base site in
Kwangsi Province appeared prob
able.
The spokesman also expressed be-
lief 1t was quite possible that Kwei-
lin, another former American air
base site approximately 100 miles
northeast of Lichow, would fall to
the Chinese.
He estimated approximately 300
900 japanese troops in Burma, Thai
land, Indo-China and Malaga had
been virtually isolated by the Chi
nese offensive in Kwangsi Province
which has driven a deep wedge into
the enemy's north-south communi-
cations corridor.
The high commands announce
ment concerning Chinese operations
in the vicinity Of Liuchow made it
plain that unofficial reports two days
ago to the effect that the city al
ready had fallen were premature.
A battle for the city apparently
was taking shape The Chinese said
the enemy, which has occupied the
base for seven months, had strongly
fortified the area and that a large
number of Japanese troops were
concentrated there.
The high command did not dis
close the route by which the Chi
nese forces had reached Liuchow's
northern suburbs, but it appeared
likely they had moved around the
city from the south. Only last night
the Chinese announced they had
captured Tatang on the Indo- China
highway 81 miles southwest of Liu-
chow.
1t appeared the Chinese were in
position to cut the Vi Weichow-
Kwangsi railway west of Liuchow
and thus sever the main escape route
from japanese forces at Ishan. Chi
nese forces previously were reported
attempting to encircle Ishan, which
is about so miles northwest of Liu-
chow
In Fukien Province. meanwhile
the Chinese continued their assaults
on the coastal highway town of Fu-
ting, los miles north of Foochow and
SIS miles south of the Chekiang Prov
ince port of Wenchow.
