passage from the Textbook "Sci-

is: (p 494). Jesus demonstrated the
inability of corporeality, as well as
the infinite ability of Spirit, rnus
helping erring human sense to flee

language, it is known as lindane.
Lindane does not have such as
lastig effect as DDT-it gives good
fly control in dairy barns for about
three to six weeks-but it does kill
flies that have developed immunity
to DDT. This insecticide is prac-
tically free of Objectionable
''musty" odor and it is safer to use
than technical benezene hexachlor-
ide. No odor has been detected in
the milk from herds housed in
barns treated with lindane.
Until more is known about lin
dane, the entomologists do not
recommend its use on dairy cattle
for insect control nor on forage
that is to be fed to dairy cattle or
animals being finished for slaugh-
ter.
Insecticides made from lindane
VIII be marketed as Wettable pow
ders containing 25 percent of the
chemical, and as emulsion concen-
trates containing 20 percent.
Where lindane insecticides are used
as residual treatments the finished
spray should contain three-tenths
to one-half of 1 percent of lindane.
The lower concentration is obtain
ed by adding 10 pounds of the 25
percent wettable powder or one
and one-half gallons of the 20 per-
cent emulsion to 100 gallons of
water.
Lindane should be applied to wet
all treated surfaces thoroughly.
The amount of spray required to
wet surfaces in dairy barns will
average 1 gallon to 500 square feet
of surface. The same care is need
ed in applying lindane as in using
any other insecticide. Avoid undue
Smyrna times., 1949-08-04

exposure to the spray and wash
exposed parts of the body following
spray operations. Before spraying
the dairy barns or milk rooms, re-
move all utensils and cover feed
and water troughs. Do not let any
of the insecticide come in contact
with food.
Along with the use of insecti-
cides sprays in dairy barns, SANTA
tion practices are still important,
say the entomologists, especially
the disposal of manure and other
materials in which flies breed.

Food for Thought

On days when the thermometer
bushes in reporting extremely high
temperatures we can build 4 strong
defense against minding the day
by stocking up well on food at
breakfast time. We have written
before that it's never too hot to
eat. It may be too hot to eat GER
tain foods. Much of our lack of
energy on hot days may be due to
the lack of food.
The breakfast hour is usually the
coolest hour of the day. This is an
excellent chance to get at least
one-third of the days food allow
ances. Eating at breakfast time
can be a pleasure, and the benefits
can be very high.
A good big serving of fruit
tastes good. Cantaloupe holds the
Smyrna times., 1949-08-04

spot light at this season. Then
plenty of protein foods can make
you more energetic throughout the
day. In this column we have listed
combinations of food that provide
approximately one-third of your
days supply of protein. You win
remember that cereal with milk,
plus glass of milk as a beverage
will give you a good share. An egg
or even better, two eggs with bread
in some form, packs the punch for
a good day. Thin slices of ham
with the egg are very appetizing.
Regardless of which form you use,
make the effort to get good share
of protein.
Allow ample time, come to the
table wide awake and eat enough
food to give you a head start for
a hot day.

A typical question of today:
In a simple house where there
is no one to wait on table, what
would be your opinion of letting
the young daughter of twelve and
the young son of nine clear of
the table for dessert and then
serve the dessert, which would be
in the dishes, ready? The chill
dren would like to do this for me
and it would enable me to stay at
the table and talk to our guests"
I think the idea excellent-not
only as being helpful to you in
letting you sit undisturbed at
table, but of greatest benefit to
the children. Ease-which always
means skill-cannot have better
training than that which quiet
and efficiently careful table serv-
ice exacts. AS a matter of fact.

has been recognized as best social
training always.
Entirely Their FouIt
Dear Mrs. Post: Please give me
your advice about the obligation
in a case such as the following:
We had arranged with another
couple to go dancing early so that
we could all be home at midnight.
We stopped for them promptly
and found they had company and
were not dressed for the evening.
Evidently their visitors had known
nothing of their plans until after
we mentioned it in the conversa-
ton. They still made no move, so
I asked, will it take you long
to get ready?" Shortly afterward
their visitors took the hint and
left. And our friends were NOR
titled and are still displeased with
me for having been rude to their
guests. ask you, Mrs. Post, what
should I have done?
Answer: I think, considering
that they made an engagement
with you and did not break it,
you were quite right in asking
them if they were coming with
you. Then it was up to them
to tell their visitors that they had
an engagement with you or to
have told you that they had de-
cided not to go and for you to
go on without them.

Exclusively Yours,
Misleading Statements About Marques of Milford Hoven's
Engagement to Mrs. Romone Simpson Require Qualification

There's nothing new on the
wedding plans of the Marques OF
Milford Haven and Romano
Simpson. When and where they
will get married, who will marry
them or when they will come to
Washington have yet to be de-
cided.
1t seems worth mentioning,
however, that some of the reports
that followed in the wake of their
engagement announcement were
slightly misleading. Flashed to
America were statements saying
that the engagement was not in
cluded in the court circular and
the Marques had to run a paid
advertisement in the London
Times in order to have it an
nounced-the insinuation being
that this was necessary because
of marked disapproval all around.
The truth of the matter is
that even English of rank and in
the know here fail to see why the
court circular should have carried
the Marques engagement. The
court circular is concerned only
with the doings of the royal
household and David Mountbat-
ten does not fall into this cate
CORY. He Is third cousin Of King
George vi and only about 32nd in
line for the throne.
AS for the paid advertisement, :"
that, of course. is ridiculous. An
announcement of an engagement
could hardly be called an adver-
especially when reduced
to the simplified. brief form that
the British are accustomed to US
ing. But it is true that 1t was
paid for because all formal an
nouncements of forthcoming
marriages in England are paid for.
That is the British custom and
that is considered the proper way
to do it over there. That's why
this particular engagement was
so listed, though it was also car
ried in all the news columns.
