nutritionists already are gong one step beyond
the plant experts. They are feeding radioactive
sugars to laboratory animals to find out more
about how the body uses the sugar and changes
it back into energy.

BEFORE our atomic energy equipment was
converted for peacetime use, the few tagged
atoms available were produced in atom-smash-
ing cyclotrons by a slow and costly process
Now, the desired materials are simply placed in
the atomic pile and allowed to cook under
the neutron bombardment. Radiocarbon, which
at one time was just about priceless, can now
be had at relatively bargain-basement prices.
What's more, the variety of tagged atoms
has jumped to 80, of which 20 of the most
important are available to foreign scientists.
Now if manufacturers of everyday products

can then follow the migrations of

Giving successful results, but
not as good, is the cold pack
method. The fruit is packed cold
into hot clean pars. 1t is processed
in the boiling water bath for Is

To prevent the peaches or pears

EASY WAYS
Some easy ways to do odd

When putting new elastic in a

worn elastic pulls out, the new
elastic will pull in.

/ Keep stiff brush near the
laundry tubs. Before putting gar
ments into the wash, turn any
pockets inside out and brush
thoroughly. The brush will be
handy also for brushing soapsuds
on especially soiled places, such
as neckbands, collars and cuffs.
The finger of an old glove or a
thimble, placed over the end OF
a curtain rod, helps the curtain
Slip onto the rod easily without
catching or tearing.
To paint a stairway which must
be used while the paint is drying,
paint every other step: Then when
the first set of steps is dry, the al
ternate steps may be painted.
When packing cake in waxed
paper, sprinkle the paer with
owdered sugar first. This helps the
frosting to stick to the cake and
not to the paper.
Stick a piece of adhesive tape
on the wall before putting in tacks
to- hold pictures. This helps pre-
vent the tack from cracking the
plaster.
Wax applied to the dust pan
helps dust slide off easily; to the
tops and bottoms of drawers, helps
prevent sticking; to the painted
surface of washing machines, helps
prevent rust.
DOUBLE DUTY TIN
Tin cans are as suitable and
safe for freeding as they are for
canning. They are moisture-proof,
air-tiEht, and vapor-proof. They
Pare also too sturdy to be affected
by changes in temperature.
A few points must be kept in
mind when using them, however.
Use enameled cans to keep the
color in your fruits and vegetables.
"R" = enameled cans which are
bright gold in color prevent fad
ing in red-colored fruits and vege-
tables, such as pumpkins and
squash. &C" enameled cans
which are dull gold in color are
best for corn and beans.
When syrup is used in prepar-
ing fruit for freezing, cover the
frdit,> but leave 1/10 the height
of the can for expansion in freez-
ing. For peaches and other fruits
that discolor, crumple bit Of
cellophane and put it over the
fruit in the can. This will keep
the fruit covered with syrup. SUI
gar-coated fruit can be filed to
the top of the can. Vegetables in
brine will need the head space OF
1/1O the height Of the can.
After packing the can, seal
quickly with the tin can sealer.
Put the sealed tins Immediately
into a tub of ice water and keep
them there until the whole batch
is sealed. Then rush them to the
locker. Avoid holding them over

Rural Identification advisors

Rural Identification advisor.
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture suggest that as temper
airy remedy you try removing the
plug from the wall outlet and re-
versing it. Just turn it half way
around and plug it in again. That
may correct the condition.
The reason this simple remedy
sometimes saves an immediate re-
pair bill is that one side of your
1150-volt circuit is grounded. Re
versing the plug may connect the
'leaky" wire to the grounded side,
disconnecting the faulty side of
the cord from the appliance.
1t does not remove the fault
itself, and REA recommends that
this practice be followed only as
an emergency measure until such
time as the cord may be replaced

For Joyful Cough
Relief, Try This
Home Mixture


This splendid recipe is used by millions
every year, because it makes such a depend
able, effective medicine for coughs due to
colds. It's easy to mix-a child could do 1t.
From any druggist get 2h ounces of Pinex,
a special compound of proven ingredients, in
concentrated form, well-known for its soothing
effect on throat and bronchial irritations.
Then make a syrup by stirring two cups
OF granulated sugar and one cup Of water
a few moments, until dissolved. It's no
trouble at all. No cooking needed. On you
can use corn syrup or liquid honey, instead Of
sugar syrup.
Put the Pinex into a pint bottle and fill ND
with your syrup. This makes a full pint OF
cough medicine, very effective and quick
acting, and you get about four times as much
for your money. 1t never spoils, and children
love it's pleasant taste.
You'll be surprised by the way it takes hold
Of coughs, giving you quick relief. 1t loosens
the phlegm, soothes the irritated membranes,
and helps clear the air passages. Money

"It's going to be wonderful being

up with lights and tinsel like the
tree on Main street. Just think, we
will get to see Santa Claus and
know what he brings the children
before they do. My, I'm so excited,
I can hardly breathe" exclaimed the
little Christmas tree.
mo one will want you," said a
big, stately tree cruelty. "They want
tall trees like me-"
ooh, I'm sure acc will want
me-" answered the little tree con-
fidently.
Before long, however, the little
tree began to think the big tree had
been right. Day after day went by
and the trees which had stood in
the lot with him were looked over
carefully and then taken away by
happy families. No one gave the
little tree more than a glance. 'This
one is much too small" they said
and went on by.
The little tree began to droop as
the days passed. 1t grew nearer and
nearer to Christmas, and still no
one wanted him. 81 guess the big
tree was right" sighed the little
tree. ct am too small"
Christmas eve arrived at last, and
the little tree was almost the only
one left out of the group of trees.
He sighed sadly. And then he bright
ened. A small boy was standing on
the sidewalk and he was looking
straight at him. ooh, I wish he
would take me-" thought the little
tree.
Just then the man who was sell
ing the trees looked up and saw the
boy. do you want a tree, sonny?"
he asked.
I'll do, but 1 guess I don't have
enough money" stammered the boy.
The man looked thoughtful. well,

closing time and no n seems to
want this tree SO you may have it."
ooh, thank you," cried the boy.
He picked up the little tree gently
and carried him home. There he
placed him on a low table in a
shabby little room, and trimmed
him with a few bits of tinsel and
some bright ornaments. Then he
stood back, his face glowing.
