Japs Warned
Against Evils
OfCommunism
tBy The Associated presD

TOKYO, March 25.-A spokes-
man for General MacArthur'S
headquarters today warned the
japanese people against Com
munism. He told them that a
communistic Japan would be as
ruthless as the old government
had been in curtailing the rights
of the people.
He cited to them the condi-
tions now prevailing in Poland,
where a great majority of the
citizens preferred a democratic
form of government but had had
a Communistic government fore
ed on them because of unfair
elections. He added that the peo-
pies rights in Poland have been
stifled.
Speaking about the Jap cleo
tionS to be held in April, he
called on Japanese leaders to take
precautions to warrant fair bal
lot and a fair count.

An ordinance which would re-

man. but will also propose that
the Municipal Hospital be re-
named the Truman Foundation
Hospital and So dedicated by the
President himself when he re-
turns here next June.
CarbOncll explained that the
Federal government still owns
the Hospital and originally asked
$4,000 for Il. The county is now
dis kcrin- with the government TO
purchase Il for $4,000 - a price
which Catboncll contends is en-
tirely too high. BY converting the
hospital trto a Truman Founda-
ton hc added. there is an excel /
lent chance that the government +.
would dispose of the property at
a nominal price of, say. $4,000 I

BISCUITS.
From Mrs. E. B. M, Washington. J
For Mrs. r. L. G., who requested
a good recipe, I recommend the fol-
lowing, which is probably standard.
I find that biscuits are best when
SUFFICIENT milk is used to make the
dough soft, mine sometimes even
being a bit sticky. Mix and Sift 2
cups all-purpose flour, teaspoons
baking powder, and p teaspoon salt.
Cut in tablespoons shortening
with a knife or pastry blender, the
latter being an invaluable time
saver, and add gradually about "a
cup milk. Pat out on slightly
Toured board; a rolling pin isn't
necessary. The thickness depends
upon whether one likes them crusty.
Cut with biscuit cutter and bake
in a well-greased tin at $50 degrees
about Is minutes, the time varying
with the thickness of the biscuits
and, I think. with the gas pressure.
This serves four amply. For a well
come change, add at least u cup
grated sharp cheese before adding
the milk; the ordinary processed
(package) cheese is not satisfactory
Us it turns brown and gives a burned
effect. Some cooks like to put a
dab of butter on the top of each
biscuit before they are baked. There
seems to be no damage if they are
put in the tin well ahead of time
and set in the refrigerator until
baking time. For drop biscuits,
make the dough little more moist

Why Grow Old?
Chocolate Ice Cream !.
Chocolate Ice Cream.
Bp Josebhfne Lo,pman

Not long ago I had the privi-
lege and pleasure Of talking with
one of New York's we'll known skin
specialists about general problems
which concern women and their
outer coating.
1t was refreshing to talk to a
medical man who has deep belief
in the value of cosmetics for women.
This particular one feels that even
If the cosmetics had no actual effect
on skin health and beauty, the
psychological value would justify
their existence. If cosmetics make
a woman feel prettier and younger
then the uplift they give the spirit
is of ,incalculable worth. This fac
tor is, reflected In personality and
perhaps even in health, mental and
therefore physical.
Dry skin Is the bugaboo which
haunts many women. There are
no two ways about it-if your skin
is very dry it will certainly wrinkle
more quickly than well-lubricated
one. There is a gradual lessening
of the natural oils in the skin as
one grows older. Sometimes we sea
dry skins even in very young women.
When this happens the grease
glands are not functioning properly.
One should apply the rules of
good health to the skin. Exercise
which stimulates circulation, fine
elimination, plenty Of water and
good nutrition are just as important
as external cleanliness and care.
After this daily fabrication is a
valuable factor in complexion

mately u inches and the lower 20
inches in diameter and both tiers
revolye independently OF each other.
Every household needs . step
ladder. It's foolish and dangerous
to use any substitute such as a
chair or stool. A local shop has an
all-steel folding ladder that has
five steps instead OF the usual four.
It is light in weight and has many
safety features.
Have you played the new game
that is becoming quite popular
around this vicinity? The game
consists of board that has 10
safety squares ON each side and a
valley" in between consisting of
10 double squares. Each player
possesses Pharaoh and four pegs.
The object Of the game is to elimi-
nate the opponents Pharaoh and
pegs by landing pieces on their
positions in the valley. Success in
this game depends on skill in
maneuvering numbers obtained from
dice throws to provide maximum
peril for the opponent and safety
for your own Pharaoh's force. Only
two can play at time, but it's an
excellent game to have handy for
one Of those quiet evenings at home.
If you're giving party on the
spur of the moment and need spe-
cial paper napkins for the occasion
there is place in town that will
give you one-day service on the
printing. For instance, in the case
of an anniversary party you could
have the mans and woman's names
plus the date they were married
printed in the corner. This would
also make souvenir for each guest.

Does this graph startle you? 1t
comes under the heading of public
information, part of a new war ef-
fort the war on rheumatic fever,
which cripples and destroys more
children Of school age than any
other disease.
In observance of National Heart
Week, the American Heart Associa-
ton has issued a pamphlet called
Rheumatic Fever, Childhood's
Greatest Enemy Every parent
should profit by reading the PAM
phlet in its entirety, by having a
copy available. And whether
parent or no, as citizens who have
something to say about establishing
community rheumatic fever pro-
gram, now deemed so vital, we'd
BETTER READ IT!
The pamphlet furnishes some
stirring vital statistics. Here are
few of them: Rheumatic fever, in
cluding rheumatic heart disease,
ranks with tuberculosis and syphilis
as a great, disabling, chronic dis
ease. Except for accidents, it is the
commonest cause of death among
school children; it is the second
commonest cause of death by dis
ease in the 20-to-24 age group;
1t causes much of the heart dis
ease in later life, and in the United
States affects more than a million
persons, young and old.
Rheumatic fever attacks the con-
nective tissues of the body and
causes Inflammation of the muscle,
valves, and outer lining of the heart.
1t has no one characteristic Symp-
tom. Pain in the joints and con-
tinued fever are common-hence the
name-but these may mark other
ailments as well. Other symptoms,
which often turn out not to be due
to rheumatic fever at all, include
pallor, loss of weight, repeated nose
bleeds, and poor appetite.
The doctor gives particular atten-
ton to the heart because rheumatic
fever almost always affects the
heart to some extent-in two-thirds
of the cases, permanently. In some
patients the injury is so small that
it would take post mortem ex-
animation to find it; in the majority
of cases the trouble need interfere
very little, if at all, with normal liv-
ing. Nevertheless, an attack OF
rheumatic fever MAY damage the
heart seriously. Or the heart may
completely recover from the first
attack only to be damaged more
severely by succeeding attacks. Be-
cause, you see, rheumatic fever is
quite apt to attack more than once.
Hence, the best possible care is
needed.
1t is known-although the reason
Is not determined-thatt the chances
that any certain person will ac-
uuire the disease are at least three
times as great in family that has
had a case of rheumatic fever than
they are in non-rheumatic family.
Hence, it is especially important
that parents who have had child
i'll with rheumatic fever be informed
as to the proper steps to take to
insure the health of all. Interesting,
too. is the fact that rheumatic fever
usually does not strike children who
are under school age.
It's important to know all that
can be known about the disease, the
conditions that encourage It's con-
traction, the steps to take when your
child is ill. It's important to know
how to treat child with rheumatic
fever so that he won't be crippled
