 Let it be known here and now that this new 20th Century Fox thriller-diller is by far the most taut. suspenseful, thrilling and hor- rife motion picture experience to come this way since The Lodger" only more sol
 Hangover Square," which stars Laird Cregar, Linda Darnen and George Sanders, tells the fascinat- ing story of a man whose mind periodically and without warning, plunges into tfe murky depths of the subconscious world, forcing him to hate the things he loves. and driving him to unspeakable crimes of murder and violence. It it, too, the story of a dazzlingly voluptuous beauty, a music hall entertainer, who made of love a dangerous game, with herself the only winner. And it is the story of a brilliant psy- chiatrist-detectice who probed the unknown regions of the mind to get at the horrible secret that hung over Hangover Square"

HEALTH FOR ALL
Heart Care

The very thought of heart disease
strikes fear in most people They
think of heart disease as attacking
suddenly, with great pain, and as
bringing immediate death. This may
be true in middle life and old age.
However, there are various kinds Of
heart disease. All of them do not de-
velop suddenly, nor are they neces-
sarily fatal.
Nevertheless, heart disease is one
If the most serious health problems
IN this country. In fact, it is the lead
ng cause of death. In 1943, the last
year for which complete statistics are
available, it was responsible for 426,-
}91 deaths, or 1888 per 100000
population.
Unfortunately, the fear of heart
disease is at the root of many deaths
rom it, Because of fear, people ig-
more warnings that something is
amiss When they finally do muster
tie courage to see a doctor, often it
is too late.
The body gives various warnings
hat the heart is overburdened or dis
tressed. Some of these signals are
breathlessness after exertion, dizzi-
ness, fatigue, vague digestive distur-
Dances, swelling of the feet and
ankles and pains in the chest.
Such pains are not always due to
heart disease, and of course digestive
disturbances may be traceable to any
cne of number of causes. But there
is no point in ignoring any of these
warnings. They may indicate heart
trouble The safe policy is to heed
the signals and see doctor
Certain illnesses often weaken the
keart, and too great exertion imme-
diately after severe sickness may
have an adverse effect on the heart.
Caution should be observed especial
ly after an illness due to any of the
Infectious diseases of childhood.
Periodic physical examinations are
the best insurance against developing
serious heart trouble. The individual
who goes to the doctor regularly for
a check up, without waiting to be
stricken by illness, may learn Of
heart disorder before it reaches SER
ious proportions.
Many types of heart trouble can be
treated effectively if discovered in
time. People who have or have had,
heart trouble do not necessarily have
to lead lives of invalidism. Certain
strenuous occupations may be denied
them, but they can still lead normal
lives if they follow rules of modera-
ton.
The treatment for tuberculosis will
be discussed in the next article.

MORE EGGS FROM LESS FEED

Eggs account for more than half
the income from poultry. although
the rapid increase of the broiler IN
dustry IN the last fifty years has been
a significant development in poultry
keeping. according to T. c. Byerly,
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, poultry specialist in the Bureau
of Animal Industry.
The increase in the number of eggs
the average hen lays in year, says
DR.. Bycrly, probably represents the
most important poultry gain scored
over the 50-year period. This increase
he says, is due primarily to the care
ful work of poultry breeders who
have applied skiilfully the knowledge
gained through experience and re-
search in poultry genetics.
In general, says DR.. Byerly, it
takes about pound less feed to pro-
duce dozen eggs than 1t did fifty
years ago.

POTATOES HELPED BY POOR

Some of the more successful crops
have sometimes poor re-
lations-that on occasion help them
to get along. The Agricultural Re-
search Administration of the U. S.
Department of Agric ,l,ture calls at
tention to some examples of this sort
brought out by scientists at the Plant
Industry State, Beltsville, Md.
The Iimson weed (Datura) is a
fence-curner or barnyard relative of
the poteto and the tomato and sever
al other useful crop paints of the
family Solanaceae. 1t is proving use

rieties of potatoes carry the disease
known as latent mosaic which ordi-

may cdt the yield by up to 20 per
cent, depending on the variety.
BY b.Jising the leaves of a number
of young Jimson weed plants growing

Still further culling of potato
plants clarifying latent mosaic can be
done by taking juice from the potato

but not a''poor one" The potato
plants that still do not show the
presence of latent mosaic after this
double testing are very likely to be
free of the disease.

WEED KILLER is NOT HAY
FEVER CURE

The fact that 2,4-D G., 4-Dichloro-
phenoxyacetic acid) kills man y
weeds, including ragweed. has led to
reports that it Is cure for hay fever
In some statements that have come
to the attention of the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture, the chemical
has been referred 10 as drug and All
laid in the cure of hay fever" Be
cause of the evident misunderstood
ing of the uses of this CHEMICAL De-
partment weed experts and special
lists on allergies caused by plants
and plant products have joined in a
statement that "the Department has
not spoken of 2,4-D as drug and
has not suggested it as an aid in the
cure of hay fever"
Fortunately, says L. w. Kephart,
weed specialist of the Plant Industry
Station, Beltsville, Md, 2,4-D either
kills ragweed or keeps it from pro-
ducing pollen. Ragweed ordinarily
produces great quantities of pollen
and is the principal cause of hay
fever in the United States.
Kephart says there are several
other chemicals besides 2,4-D that
will kill ragweed. These other herbi-
cides ere: Certain di-nitro COM
pounds. sodium clorate with reduced
fire hazard, plain sodiuf cklorate, and
ammonium thiocyanate. Such weed
killers ar casually obtainable at hard
ware stores or from dealers in farm
supplies.

Truman Turns Left

President Truman is a genial gen.

manuever the different political ele-
ments into position. Harmonious re-

fact even the Democrats drifted
apart. The result of the above is that
tie President has become rather
stubborn in insisting on acceptance
of his point of view on public ques-
tions. He is no longer tame and pill
able. On the contrary he has swerved
to the left.
