Checking the Chimney

Checking the chimney for leaks
is a good safety precaution. Here
is the way it's done: build a
smudge fire at the bottom of the
flue and when the smoke is passing
in a dense column, close the outlet
at the top with a wet blanket. If
there is any leakage. the defect
can be found by escaping smoke.

Blonde Woods

to bleached or light colored woods,
which vary from white to light
brown in tone. They are of two
types-bleached, consisting of nor
mally darker woods which have
been artificially lightened, and the
unbleached woods, which have a
naturally light color.

Thoughts Differ
On What Phrase
Sums Up America


MILWAUKEE-What is the one
phrase which would typify the con-
ception "America?" There are
many schools of thought on the
subject.
For instance, Golfers magazine
calls itself as American as base
ball" Philip Murray says his CLIO
is as American as the hot dog"
The Berkshire hills of Massachu-
sets are advertised as being "as
American as apple pie" and a
dramatic critic finds that the new
Broadway musical, Miss Liberty
to be as american as a water
melon patch"
There can be no serious quarrel
with any of those striking Smiles.
Baseball is quite the American
game, even though the experts find
that English boys 200 years ago
were playing a game called base
ball" with pitchers, batters, base
runners and outfielders. Basketball
would be an even better example Of
Americana. 1t was invented by DR..
James Naismith SO years ago and
has no other roots.
Had Foreign Origin
AS to Mr.. Murray's ''hot dog"
reference, we can go along with
that. The "hot dog" is certainly
American by adoption-what sports
event, circus or festival is complete
without it? even though it did
start life as a wiener of Vienna or a
frankfurter of Frankfurt.
The benighted Germans we're
munching that delicacy for genera
tions without realizing the treasure
they had. We have taken the hot
dog and raised it, along with the
hamburger from Hamburg, to an
American institution. It's like the
case of the song Dixie" which was
written by a northerner and con-
fiscated by the southerners for their
own anthem. And when the Civil
war was ending, Abe Lincoln asked
that Dixie" be played because it
was one of his favorite tunes, and
he jovially boosted that the North
was entitled to it by right of on
quest.
Is apple pie so American, as the
Berkshires people claim? Jack
Horner pulled a plum out OF his
Christmas pie back in the 10th
century days of King Henry VIII,
when America was unsettled. (The
jingle was occasioned by Jacks
grabbing some nice estates n a
political shake-up.) And the pie
experts believe that if they had
plum pies then, they had apple.
too.
Pumpkin Better Smile
But it is in America that the
apple pie has approached the sta
tus of necessity and a fine art. las
American as pumpkin pie" is a lit
tie more apt. The pumpkin IS a
real American old-timer.
What can be as American as a
watermelon patch? Well, a good
many things. The watermelon is a
native of Africa and grows in warm
regions the world around-but most
picturesquely, we are convinced, IN
our W Dixie land Of corn and
oil times dat am not forgot
ten. You may take watermelons
out of America, but you can't take
Americans away from their water
melon.
Now if you are looking for some
thing peculiarly and symbolicaly
American what about the giant red
wood and sequoia trees? They are
the biggest things that grow on
earth, and they supposedly grow no.
on earth but our West coast.

FIGHTING ExTRAvAGANcE

A freshman congressman from Flori-
da, according to dispatch published in
The Citizen today, has joined the
forces in Washington that are fighting
against excessive and promiscuous federal
spending
But the spending goes on. Seemingly,
the President is bent on not removing even
straw of the tax load that is making the
American taxpayer look like hlnchback,
figurativeiy speaking.
Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia con-
tinues to point out the vast waste by the
federal government of taxpayers funds.
He and many other senator's, as well as
representatives, believe that at the next
session of congress the economy bloc will
cut down government spending by several
billion
Representative Sgd. Herlong, Florida,s
freshman congressman, advances pro-
posal that would decrease federal spend
ing if administration leaders would act
fayorably on the advice. He says the gov
eminent should be as careful in it's spend
ing as a thrifty family is in balancing its
budget.
But the leaders will not give heed to
what he said. They have stopped talking
in millions and now blare about billions.
Some have advocated deficit government
spending to try to bring back prosperity.
Other officials, close to the President.
are RECALLING US with predictions that one
million additional jobs may be available
by the end of the year. While The Citizen
would be immensely pleased if that pre-
diction turns out to be true, yet it can be
guided safely only by past performances of
similar economic conditions. One past per-
Torrance was the prediction after predic-
ton that prosperity was just around the
corner while the Roosevelt administration
continued to spend billions in pump prinl-
ing that proved to be futile to build up the
nations economy.
The enormous tax structure, with the
administration apparently determined to
keep it enormous, has driven business to
cover. Billions of dollars that, ordinarily,
would be put in productive channels, are
kept imperative because of high taxation.

MODERNIZE YOUR DIET

\ If you want to bring your diet up-to-
date, you must keep tab on vitamins.
Galleries, proteins, fats. water, salt, cal
cium and other minerals.
In 1941, the Food and Nutrition Board
of the National Research Council brought
out table of Requirements" 1t has been
revised in the light Of scientific findings
and the amounts specified are higher
than before. Two essentials have been
added, vitamin X, the anti-blood-clotting
vitamin, and follic acid, one of the B
family, a preventive of some childhood
diseases and of some effect on intelIi-
gence.
The daily requirement for calories re-
mains within the range of $500 for 1874
pound men engaged i'm heavy work, to
1900 for 123-pound sedentary women.
For children between 1900 calories be-
tween the ages one and three, with an
average weight of twenty-seven pounds,
to $500 for children from ten to twelve
with an average weight of about seventy
eight pounds.
The STANDARD requirement for proteins
is unchanged but between sixty and
seventy grams day. Calcium, essential
for bone and BODYBUILDING, is increased
twenty-five per cent to one gram day.
The fat requirement is uncertain, but gene
rally. it is desirable that fat make up from
twenty to twenty-five per cent of the total
Galleries consumed. although for very active
persons and for children and adolescents,
the percentage should be around thirty
five per cent of total calories.
The STANDARD allowance of water for
adults is slightly more than two quarts
daily but for an active man consuming
$500 calories, the STANDARD moves up to
four and half quarts. In hot weather
and at hard work. the requirements may
touch twelve quarts day. Thirst is usu-
ally an adequate guide except for children
and sick persons.
The need for salt and water is closely
related. A liberal salt allowance is about
five grams daily, except for those who
sweat profusely and they need four to five
times as much.
The figures given above are somewhat
of an average and special allowance must
be made in the case of growing children
and pregnant women. For more exact in
formation as to your probable needs, it
would be well to consult your family
doctor.
