ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
From Mrs. P. M D., Arlington.)
Mrs. P. B., Mt Rainier. Care of
Kitten. There's a good book written
by a doctor and his wife. "All About
Cats" which might help you. Young
kittens are supposed to have meat
morning and evening, and pablum
and milk at noon. You start on
with about a tablespoonful Of meat
and increase to about two ounces
at three months. At three months
the cat will usually eat what a
grown cat will eat. Milk goes
out of the diet at three months
contrary to what most people
think, cats are meat-eating animals,
and milk even disagrees with some)
Two meals a day after three
months. A good lean meat about
three times a week, liver once or
twice a week, cottage cheese once
a week (ours didn't like it,, and
egg once a week Thiamine tablets
" tablet up to three months, whole
tablet after that once day. Put
it right on top of the meat-cats
like it. It helps to keep the fur
in good condition. A few drops OF
cod liver oil concentrate once a day
should be given. too, I forgot to-
mention that fish should be fed a
couple of times a week, too. OF
course, these directions are for
good" cats, but if you have a pet,
YOU might as we'll give it proper
care. Dog and cat food are both
good to give. They're easier and
contain just about everything the
cat needs. Change brands to give
variety. Chop up food until the
cat gets three months old.
WASHING BLANKETS.

For Mrs. P. c. M, Hagerstown. I

with great success. They are about
80 per cent wool and 20 per cent
cotton, but I do not believe that
would make any difference over
all-wool. Use the new nonsoap var
iety of washday suds, and do not
leave the blankets in the machine
longer than necessary. These are
two factors that cause shrinkage
and mating of wool, washing with
too hot water and rinsing insuffi-

and rinse thoroughly. Also, change
the washing suds often if you are

Russia on differences affecting other countries He said mo nation has the right to exact price for good behavior"
 The door "is always open for honest negotiations looking toward genuine settlements" MT. Truman declared
 He invited Russia to show its good faith in Greece and Korea.
 The President asserted in his frankest review to date this countrys positions as follows:
 l. The United States refused 'to play fast and loose with mans hopes for peace by making deals with other great powers at the expense of weaker nations.
 g. The cleavage" that exists today is not be- tween Russia and the United States, but between the Soviet Union and the rest of the world"
 B. Russia and her satellites should withdraw their aid from guerrllas in Greece and permit North Korea to unite with South Korea
 The world lives today fin twilight period between war so dearly and peace that still eludes our grasp the President said.
 The reason he added. flies largely in the atti- tude of one nation, the Soviet Union" MT Truman said the United States is always willing to negotiate differences when they susceptible to negotiation but he said there is nothing to negotiate when one nation habitually uses coercion or open aggression in international affairs"

 Finally last week, Secretary Krug got in touch with the gentleman from Indiana again, hinted that the fair and democratic way of arriving at the truth was to hear both sides, said he was anxious to testify. The Congressman replied that he wasn't ready, wouldn't be ready for some time-in fact, not until after Krug was leaving for the West to join President .Tru- man.
 Meanwhile, a power lobbyist sat almost at Congressman Harness elbow during the hearings at which Krug and Strauss were not per- mitted to testify-the Harness way of making democracy live.

Conflict of the Ages
Cincinnati Enquirer


 War is no new experience for the aged hills of the little land called Palestine For untold centuries armies have fought back and forth its patient waddies The scars of these conflicts sharp and clear from Egypt to Syria; from the still blue waters of the Mediterranean to the deserts which skirt the Jordan and Dead Sea Only 40 miles in length, and averaging scant 50 miles in breadth, it has seen more of suffering than it's area warrants.
 Travellers, visiting Palestine during the. last cen tury have wondered at the lack of forestands have been shocked by the barren hills and mountain slopes Once we've been told, the country flourshed-but war ring armies long since stripped the land of growing plants and trees leaving the topso unprotected against the elements Wind and rain have robbed the earth and the poorest of agricultural land is the result.
 Today, as through the ages, Palestine has been the subject of conflicting claims In the earliest days traders passed along the seacoas trails; battled for the ports Gateway to both Arabia and Egypt, the passageway Syria and Damascus the little country has drawn as a magnet, the hobnailed boots of a hundred armies Modern tanks and airplanes fight chariots that way as early the third millennium BC, and other soldiers came up from Egypt long before firearms were part and parcel of military equipment
 It is strange to know that the same basic forces which brought the Holy Land centuries before the birth of Christ repeating their perform ances It not true that the war in Palestine is a holy war alone. Economic forces-restless in the days of the Pharaohs- are playing most important part

WATER ROW

Other Congressional rows have crowded it out of the headlines, but one of the most important battles now on in Congress is over reclamation.
 If it hadn't been for the big New Deal power dams built in the Northwest, atomic energy at Han ford, Wash, and aluminium and aircraft plants in that area would have been impossible. Furthermore. without these dams, which held some water back, the Oregon flood would have been fer worse.
 However, the LtE4Ity-big rancher interests of the West Coast have ganged up on the reclamation bur eau to kill both the distribution of government power and the 160- acre limitation on reclamation land. The power companies don't want the government to distribute any more power, and the big ranchers -want to acquire more than 160 acres Of reclamation land.
 Congress hasn't been willing to lift this 160-acre limit, so now a rider has been attached to the h. terior Department Appropriation Bill which would knock Mike Struass out of his job as Reclama- tion Commissioner, also Richard Boke as California Regional Di- rector. These gentlemen, it's claimed, have administered the law too strictly.
 Latest Congressional committee to probe the beleaguered Reclamation Bureau is headed by Rep. Forrest Harness of Kokomo, Ind, Repub- lican. When his probe first started, Secretary of the Interior Krug phoned, offering to testify. So did Reclamation Commissioner Strauss. Nothing happened. The gentleman from Kokomo heard all the hos tile witnesses he could lay hands on, but not the Reclamation Bur

UNDER THE DOME

Everybody jumps on the Voice of America. And it deserves some criticism But on the other hand, it hasn't got much help from U. s. newspaper powers. For instance, the Associated Press won't even let the Voice of America quote from it's dispatches The AP permits Tass, the official Soviet news agency, to quote, but not the U. s. Government. In fact, if the Moscow radio distorts and AP dis patch, the Voice of America hasn't the right to quote the same AP dispatch correctly in order to get the real truth across to Russia i. :. This was threshed out at the last Society of Editors meeting, fol- lowing which AP directors turned the Voice of America down.

httle-noticed provision reducing es- tate and gift taxes by a rough average of 30 per cent. By reason of estate-tax exemptions of $60,000, this relief gees only to the nations Wealthiest families.
 This, however, has merely whet- ted the appetites of the tax-lawyer lobbyists. They are now out to get more for their wealthy clients and their good friend Congressman Knutson has generously fixed up another bill-H R. 6712-by which anyone with a good tax lawyer can pass on to his family the nice little bonanza of between Sl,- 06000o and S2,oOO,0o0 without any death or gift taxes whatsoever.
 This would reduce gift and in- heritanee taxes. And while reduc- ing gift and inheritance taxes for the wealthy, millions of low-income taxpayers continue to pay to 1O times as much in income taxes as before the war.
 Note-The two tax lobbyists who sneaked this across with their will ing friend Knutson were Ros- well Magill, the Wall Street tax lawyer, and William Sutherland tax expert of the American Bar Association.
