Regulation Doesn't Week
but there are some American cities where

and in these places the investigators cannot

Apologists insist that regulation and medical

So are neighborhood druggists.
Anyway, they told me he was about fif-
teen and they showed me his house. He lived
on the top floor. went up and knocked. No
answer. went back day after day and always
got the same treatment
Finally little girl in the house tipped me
off that there was a small hole in the boys
door. He could see me outside, and scooted
down the fire escape. Well, went around to
the nearest P. S. The principal put me in
touch with truant officer who was also after
Gerald.
The next day all three of us went to his
house. They covered the back and went up
and knocked at the door Sure enough, he ran
down the fire escape and they caught him.
He had syphilis, all right. and it turned out
he had infected ten girls"
It's no surprise when contacts run and hide.
Most of them fear that they're going to be
disgraced in public. Investigators go to
great lengths to convince them that
everything is confidential.
Once, a chauffeur claimed he had been in
fected by a woman he worked for 1t was a
ticklish situation. An investigator got in
touch with the wonan's physician. The doc
tor agreed to test her in the course of rou-
tine examination. He found she had gonor-
rhea. cured her and persuaded her to name
other contacts for investigation The entire
case was cleared up without embarrassment
for her family.
Case Of the Two Sisters
JUST few days ago the Navy reported that
couple of sailors had contracted gonorrhea
from two sisters they'd picked up in bar
All the boys knew was that one of the girls
was named Mary. They had another date
for the next day.
The investigator advised them to keep the
date, but he went along Mary showed up
alone, saying her sister was sick took her
aside and told her she ought to come to
clinic. She was all right about it, and took me
home to her sister had them examined.
They were infected. Now we're running down
other contacts they gave u.s.
Sometimes the contacts are easy enough to
find but hard to handle

Lee PresneIl says when a man
cuts over his wood lot, he should

so that enough young trees are
left to grow another crop of trees
in a reasonable time" Mr.. Pres
nell has an excellent stand of
young white pine coming on after
he cut out the hard wood saWlogs
four years ago. He accomplished
this by leaving two large white
pine seed trees on the top of a
ridge and by protecting all young
white pine from damage.

The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. d.

picked up a program which con-
tanned children's hymn, "Sav-
Jour Show Me How To Co." She
made this her watch-Word. A few
days later in a store she ran a.
cross package of flour which was
advertised as being especially
good for fruit cakes. She bought
a package, went home and made
the cake. It was SO good that she
thought others might like to have
some of these cakes. She made
five pounds, and sold them easily
to her friends.
She decided to 60 into the fruit
cake business with only home
equipment and five pans. She
advertised her product in several
newspapers, and soon had orders
for $50 pounds. In some way she
managed to fill them.
Now she needed more pans
and equipment, but none were
to be had. She prayed again "a
bout it, and then the thought
came to her of visiting local
bakery and seeing if they had
some old discarded pans. They
could find only one, but stamp
ed on the bottom of that pan was
the name and address of the
manufacturer She wrote this
company asking if they could
supply others. They agreed to
give her delivery of her needs
within two months.
Her pans came and she manag-
ed to get the needed mixing co.
uipment Her business grew by
leaps and bounds. This year she
baked and marketed commercial
ly two tons Of fruit cakes.
During the five years as her
business increased she was able
to make good investments, and
now she is comfortably self-sup-
porting. Never once did she fail
in her habitual practice of tith-
ing her income.
Through it all she kept before
her the motto, Saviour, Show
Me How To Go" She is convinc-
ed she could never have succeed
ed without the Lords help and
guidance. Her partnership with
Him has not only brought her fin
ancial sucsass, but also the greater
dividends of spiritual peace and
happiness which she is constant
ly sharing with others.

sugar-saving tricks: When bak-
ing pears or apples, stuff the
centers with dates or raisins.
This adds sweetness, and only
about 1 teaspoon sugar will be
needed for each piece of fruit.
For a side dish that satisfies
the sweet tooth at small cost in
sugar, scallop apples or pears
with sweet potatoes. Dot each
layer with fat, and sprinkle with
just a little sugar or brush with
honey.
For glazed pears or apples,
quarter the fruit and bake with
little water until partially cook
ed. Then spread with bright
colored jelly, and continue bak-
ing until fruit is tender with
shiny surface.

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT

Eaten as-is for a dessert or
snack, apples spare the cook and
the sugar bowl. Apples are a
versatile fruit, being good cooked
with meat or vegetables, Or mix
ed in salad, used in pastry, quick
breads, and cake for desserts.
The built-in sweetness of fall
pears and apples can be an aid
to homemakers in stretching the
sugar budget as they are about
10 percent sugar. The simplest
way to make the most of natural
pear and apple sweetness is to
eat them out Of hand. But for
variety, home economists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
suggest that we try them in salads
dressed with cheese. Split a pear
and fill the center with Rogue
fort cheese thinned with little
cream. Dress up apples with cot
tage or cream cheese mixed with
chopped chives. For note of col
or, add nuts, carrot strips, or
green pepers to the salad, or use
grapes or raisins to lend it even
greater sweetness.
Sour cream dressing makes
another tasty companion for pears
and apples. Plain cooked dress
ing is also good with fruit salad.
For cooked dishes, apples and
pears need little extra sWeeten-
ing. When available. corn sirup,
honey or molasses may be sub
stituted. for sugar, measure for

DIR. r. o. BAUSMAN NEW
UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT
HEAD

Dean Geo. l.. Schuster, of the
School of Agriculture, University of
Delaware, announces the appoint
ment of DR.. r. o. Bausman as pro-
fessor of Marketing and Farm
Management and head of the newly
organized Department of Market
ing and Farm Management. This
department is. organized as a result
of the new emphasis that is. beiLs
placed on the marketing and dis
tribution of foods both nationally,
and within the state.
During the war, the production of
foods increased about one-third. AS
a postwar adjustment, the U. s.
Department of Agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges are faced
with the alternatives of reducing
agricultural production or increas-
ing the consumption of food
through an improved system of dis
tributiOu.
The U. S. Congress has passed
legislation which proposes to make
available to the respective states
grant -in-aid funds for the conduct
ing of research programs in i'm
proved systems of marketing and
distribution of foods. The Delaware
research program will be designed
to be of general and practical use to
the agricultural industry Of the
state and will be directed toward
increasing the return to producers
and reducing the cost to consumers
DR.. Bausman has, for number
of years, been associate professor
of agricultural economics at the
| University of Delaware. He is au'
thor of several research publica-
tions and technical articles. His
outstanding research has been il
the fields of land utilization a11t
