Buy Less Expensive Food
To Cut Family Meal Costs

To cut food costs without lowering
the nutritional value of family
meals, buy the less expensive grades
where such choice is possible.
Standard packs of canned vegeta-
bles or fruits are just as high in
food value as choice or fancy packs,
but are less expensive. Grade B
and c eggs are perfectly good for
many purposes, and commercial and
utility grades of beef can be pre-
pared appetizingly with lower cost
than the more expensive grades.
Evaporated or dried milk can be
substituted in many dishes when it
is cheaper than fresh milk. Canned
citrus juices are frequently cheaper
than fresh fruit and can furnish the
meals requirements of vitamin c.
Tomatoes, raw cabbage and turnips
also provide a good supply of this
vitamin.
Foods that are in season are usu-
ally the best buys, and such old
standbys as carrots and potatoes
are nearly always good bargains.
Whole-grained or enriched -four and
cereal provide extra food value at
little or no additional cost. Not only
is molasses an inexpensive substi-
tute for white sugar, but it also con-
tains valuable iron.

New Drugs Check Pneumonia
Following Injury TO Chest

Pneumonia, following injury to the
chest, can be prevented with large
doses of penicillin or sulfadiazine, ac-
cording to DR.. Edward Phillips,
writing in the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical association. DIR. Phil
lips presents his observations on 73
patients treated for pneumonia fol-
lowing injury to the chest.
The author cites two investiga-
tors who demonstrated by animal
experimentation how a blow to the
chest. with or without fracture of
the ribs, can produce injury to the
lungs. The blow stimulates the
vagus nerve, which extends from
the Uranium to the lungs, to con-
tact the bronchial tubes which re-
suits in partial collapse of the
lung. This collapse area becomes in
fected because it lacks aeration.
Injections of atropine into the
veins, which paralyzes the terminal
fibers of the vagus nerve, will pre-
vent or minimize the chances Of
collapse and infection following in
jury to the chest, states the author.
Large doses of penicillin and sulfa.
diazine will sterilize the lung area.
Additional facts regarding the 73
patients follow:
In 81 patients GA per cent? pneu.
monia developed only on the same
side as the injury.
The majority of patients had
mild type of pneumonia.
Over 90 per cent of pneumonia
cases occurred within six days of
the injury.
Over so per cent of the patients
recovered within one week.
Three patients died with a result
ant mortality rate of Al per cent.

Rendering Fat

Leaf fat and fat trimmings make
the best lard, while the ruff1e
or gut fat makes the poorest. ac-
cording to nutritionists. The two
types of fat should never be rem
dered together In preparing the
fat, trim out all the lean. It is not
necessary to remove the skin. Cut
the fat in cubes, cook over a slow
fire, and stir frequently to keep IL
from sticking to the bottom of the
kettle. Cook the lard slowly until
white blisters form on the cracklinss
and they begin to brown. At this
point most of the cracklines will
float, When these two signs appear,
it's time to take the lard off the
fire. Now press out the cracklings
and strain the lard through a cloth.
Stir the lard occasionally as it is
cooling, as this will make the lard
whittier and give finer texture.

POULTRYMAN'S net
INCOME HLOW

Some of Ohio's most capable
poultrymen spent the month of
May, 1947, tending flocks which
paid them 20 cents per hen per
month for their time and for the
capital invested in poultry keep
ing c. M. Ferguson, poultry hus-
bandry specialist, Ohio State uni
versity, wonders what happened
to thousands of other poultrymen
whose hens did not average better
than SO per cent production.
The flocks which paid their
owners 20 cents a hen laid an
average of 16 eggs per bird in
May. The eggs brought 43 cents
a dozen, which is above long time
average prices for May eggs in
Ohio. Death losses in the l55 flock
from which records were obtained
averaged Ia per cent.
This group of poultrymen had
to sell an average Of 127 eggs to
pay for 100 pounds of feed, which
means that feed cost S4.03 a
hundredweight. The poultry re-
cords came from 81 counties, and
actual feed costs ranged from
$3.2lga hundredweight to $4.84,
depending upon the kind of poul-
try ration used.
Prices of eggs this May were 6.6
cents a dozen higher than in May
1916, but feed prices in the year
had gone from an average of
S344 to an average of S4.03. At
May, 1947, prices, well kept
flock of 1000 hens would produce
for its owner $2,493 a year from
which he would pay taxes, inter-
est, depreciation, and insurance
and then try to live on what was
left.
Mr.. Ferguson points out that
feed prices have been bouncing
upward as bad weather makes
prospects worse for the 1947 corn
crop. Midsummer egg production
is not as good as that of May,
so the profits from July and Aug
ust poultry keeping in Ohio will
depend upon reducing feed bills
by non-laying hens.

Buffalo Refuge

The buffalo herd in Wind Cave Ma
tional park in South Dakota is one
of the largest in the country, and
was among the first to be estab-
lished. In the early 1905, barely
1000 buffaloes remained in exist
ence. and conservationists feared
the species might become extinct.
A few struggling herds were placed
under rigid protection. In 1918, IA
buffaloes from the New York Zoolo-
gical society's herd were placed by
the American Bison society in Wind
Cave National park. There they
could roam the plains as of old.
The herd now numbers about ESQ.

The ball game at Camille last
Sunday was the first of what we
hope will be a series of inter COM
munity matches. The ball games
were originally planned to give the
youngsters of Camille a chance to
learn something about competitive
sports and have proved great sue
cess not only for the young people
of the community but for the older
ones as well. Elgin sent over a
good team with plenty of rooters
and Camille also had its share of
sideline backing. Incidentally, the
Camille teams have changed their
names to the Rustlers and the Out
laws. For matches outside their
own teams they will be known as
the Rustlers. The Elgin team have
chosen as their title the Elgin Slug
gers. Lineup as follows in batting

a More Fugitive GIs
Captured in France
BY the Associated Press

HEIDELBERG. June 11.-Four
more of the eight GI fugitives who
escaped from Mannheim military
prison Sunday were captured by
police in France last night, the
United States constabulary reported
today.
Two of the men were apprehended
soon after the escape, leaving only
two at large.
The four men taken last night,
including one Negro, were seized in
Mirecourt, about 20 miles south of
Nancy. They had fed there, the
constabulary said, in a car they hi
lacked at rifle point from an Ameri-
can lieutenant colonel on the Mann
heim-Heidelberg highway Monday.
The constabulary said the four
fugitives entered French cafe seek
ing TO sell the car at about 10 pm.
The cafe owner notified police. who
closed in and captured the GIs with
out fight.
The captured men refused to tell
French authorities their names
Some 400 armed constabulary
troops combed a tiny wooded area
near here today for one of the two
remaining fugitives. They picked
up a colored soldier who escaped
from the 130th station hospital in
Heidelberg, but not one of the
Mannheim fugitives.
