Yonr Health
Ringworm

FOUR COMMON skin diseases
caused by a fungus growth, accord
ing to the us. public health serv-
ice, are: Ringworm of the feet, ring
worm of the scalp, ringworm of the
body, and ringworm of the nail.
The most common of these is ring
worm of the feet. 1t is called ath-
lete's foot. The most stubborn one
to cure is ringworm of the nail.
These four diseases are more an
noying than dangerous. They are
serious only when they cause breaks
in the skin where other infections
can enter. They all need prompt
medical treatment.
Athletes foot is caused by a low
form of plant life called a fungus.
Some of it is almost always on
everyone's feet. 1t causes no trouble
unless it grows.
When this fungus on the feet
grows, it causes athletes foot. The
symptoms are: Increased sogginess
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-01
Why?

Why, oh, why on days of school
Would small boys, as a rule,
Give almost anything if they
Could stay in bed and sleep all day;
But when the weekend comes around
And they could sleep all day, they
bound
Like balls of rubber out of bed
And not a ones a sleepy head?
Mrs. Arthur Roat, Lake County.

game. Six portions.-Joe Brooks Jr,
author and famous fishing authority.
North Dakota wild duck: After
carefully cleaning the game, put Il
apple, 1 cut onion, l stalk of celery
and a bit of bacon in the birds. Rub
salt firmly into the skin, place in
pan and squeeze over the juice of
oranges. Have the yer about 400 de-
grees-hot-and bake until blood
does not come when pierced with a
fork-about one hour.-J. E. Camp
bell, for many years deputy game
and fish commissioner for the state
of North Dakota.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-01

between the toes, scaling, itching
Gin most cases., small blisters on
the feet. When the disease continues
and becomes worse, there can be
larger blisters and raw places, swell
ing and redness. Some severe cases
look and feel like ivy poisoning.
Prevention
Keep your feet dry and free from
soggy dead skin. When you battle,
don't forget to soap between your
toes; use a nail brush or orange
wood stick under and around your
nails-these are the places where
dead skin collects. Rinse and dry
your feet thoroughly, rubbing off
any dead skin. Dust your feet well
with talcum powder.
If talcum fails to keep your feet
dry all day, use petroleum or zinc
ointment instead, rub very little on
your feet, not forgetting your toe
nails and the spaces between your
toes. Wear stockings and shoes that
are comfortably roomy. Change
hose at least once each day.
Ringworm of the Scalp
Ringworm of the scalp is contagi-
Gus. 1t is spread in many ways, and
usually to children. When a child
has ringworm of the scalp, his brush
and comb carry the Infection; his
hat may spread the disease to an
other child who tries it on; his
barber could infect others if he
failed to sterilize his shears or clip
pers. A dog or cat with ringworm
can transmit the disease to a person.
Ringworm of the scalp causes a
patch of hair to break off near the
roots, this leaves a bald, NANCY
looking spot on the scalp. If your
child gets this infection, take him
to a doctor or hospital clinic al
once; the condition can be stubborn
if allowed to continue. 1t can be
made worse by wrong treatment
1t can spread to others unless cared
for.
Ringworm of the Body
Ringworm of the body is contagi
ous. Children have it more fire.

Venison steak: 6 steaks of venison
one inch thick, about six inches long
two pounds, " cup flour, salt, pep
per, 2 tablespoons fat, l large onion
(sliced), 1 green pepper (medium,
sliced, 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup
strained tomatoes OF sauce. Season
flour with salt and pepper and pound
it into the meat. Brown meat in fat,
add onion slices, green pepper, boil
ing water and tomatoes Tor sauce).
Cover, simmer for about two hours.
Serves six persons.
Hang venison in freezer for about
a week-Walter Frank, writer and
radio broadcaster.
Venison outlets: A Maine favorite
served with an easy-to-make sauce.
Take the steaks cut from the 1oin
and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Take a few bread crumbs and pour
a half of a cup of-melted butter over
the crumbs. Battle the steaks with
the melted butter and crumbs and
fry or broil the meat to a rare, me-
dunn or well-done stage, depending
on the Individual taste.
The piece de resistance to the
venison outlet dinner comes with the
sauce, made with the following ON
tents: "a cup of melted butter; 2 tea
spoonfuls of diced sour pickles, / tea
spoonful of chopped onion, 2 tea
spoonfuls of lemon juice and a single
egg.
Add the chopped pickle and onion
and the lemon juice to the melted
butter. Separate the egg and add
merely the yolk; lastly add the egg
white, beaten stiff.
Pour this sauce over the outlets
before serving and you have your
self a rare woods or home dinner
dish.-Bud Leavitt, native of Maine
and outdoor columniSt.
Game bird recipe: 1t works for
pheasant, grouse, doves and quail. In
the case of. the larger birds, they
should be disjointed and the breast
split. Roll 'em in flour, brown 'em
quick, and then let them simmer in
a moderate oven for a couple OF
hours in a covered pan. They should
of course, be seasoned to taste with
salt and pepper, and if you want 'en
super-rich, drop a chunk of butter
into the IA In the last Is minutes
or so, if your taste runs that way
drop into the pan the contents of
small can of mushrooms. Add a bi
of water every now and then to keeI
the birds well moist, and for grav,
stock if you want gravy. When th'
birds are so thoroughly cooked tina
the meat falls off the bones, you'v'
got a dish, brother; you've got a dish
Sure, there's a name for this. You
can call it an old-fashioned Marylan'
fry, fricassee, smother, or what-have
you. The results are the same. Tim

Who Makes The Gains?

The radicals classic complaint against capit-
alism is that it tends to concentrate the wealth
and nome of the ination in the hands of a rela
tive few, at the expense of the many t-t,.
That ancint cliche IS still in use. Yet the truth
Is that Just tie opposite has occurred The great
est gains in late years have been made by people
IN the lower and the middle-ncome groups AS an
example, il 1941 there were 900 fami In the
$3,0OO-$5.000 bracket-last year there were more
than l3,o00o00: ond, in 1s41, only about 81 $780,
600 families had incomes over $4,000, while last
year the total reached almost 100000 families.
Last summer a survey was made to find out
what cassifcations OF people were better or worse
off than in 1880, after making allowances for
changes in taxes and living costs Such represen-
tative labor groups as coal miners, railway work
ers, etc, were all better off, and by wide mar
gin. But typical groups of executives and stock
and bondholders were worse off.
No economic system in history has done as
much as our free enterprise capitalism for the
so-called common man. The radicals are trying to
aide that TACT. .-..

HATE PROPAGANDA REPORT

Over the signature of It's
Americanism Commission chair
man, Elliodor Libonati, the
American Legion, Department of
Illinois has just produced and
just produced and widely circu-
lated report on regularly pub
lished hate sheets, issued to gul-
libie readers in many parts of
the country
Listed as examples of the hate
sheets are "Showers of Bless
ing" published by Rev William
Blessing, Point Pleasant, West
Virginia; Beacon Light Herald
and America Speaks" both
published by William Kullgren,
Atascadero, California; "The
Defender, published by Rev.
Gerald B.. Winrod, Wichita, Kan
sas; s'The Individualist, publish
ed by Guy G. Stepens, Danville,
Virginia; "The Kingdom Digest"
published by J. A. Lowell, Fort
Worth, Texas; "The Methodist
Challenge" (not all official pub
lication of the Methodist church,
published by Rev. Robert P.
Shuler, Los Angeles, California;
''The Western Voice. published
by Harvy H. Springer, Engle-

native brand of fascism with all
the usual trimmings Of racial and
religious hatred.
The American Legion, well
aware of this tricky device en-
ployed by the fascist-minded for
fascism while pretending to fight
communism, has reminded it's
memabers and friends, in this
report by the Department of
Illinois, Of the Legion's, opposi-
tion to all kinds of subversiye
activity.
Citing the. Legion's resolution
against intolerance, passed at the
National Convention in Boston
in 1910, Mr.. Libonati's report
asks, What are you personlly'
doing to carry out this resolu-
ton? What are you personally
doing to heal your country of the
malignant diseases-prejudices
and intolerance"
'i These are pointed and timely
questions to be asked of all
Americans. And with them may
properly go a few suggestion
l.. Accept people on their indi-
vidual worth. 2. Don't listen to,
or spread, rumors against race,
a religion, or a class. 8. Speak up,
wherever you are, at home, in
business, in school, labor, church,
or social groups, AGAINST pre-
judice, FOR understanding.
Remember - THAT'S acting
like an American,
Chicago world., 1949-02-05
The Common Defense

report are as follows:
Showers of Blessing g-vio-
lently attacks Jews, Negroes,
Catholics, the Federal Council Of
Churches, and other chosen en-
emies.
Beacon Light Herald and
America Speaks"-have printed
vitrolic attacks against Catholics
and Jews.
"The Defender" known as
one of the most vicious anti
Semites in the country, his
6Winrod's) attacks against the
Catholic Church have been equal
ly ais wicked. He expresses
more sympathy for the defeated
Nazi leaders than for the vic
tins of Hitler. A personal
friend of most of the anti-Semitic
leaders in the United States.
'"The Western Voice"-attack
the usual victims Of un-American
bigotry. Beside the Jews and
Catholics. !. inveighs against
labor unions, Negroes, and i'm
migrants" ----
The editors Of all the hate
sheets would probably tell you
in stentorian tones that they are
opposed tn communism. But
what you have to detect for your
self is that they oppose commun-
ism, not in order to strengthen
ism, but for the sole purpose
of attracting following to
themselves for popularizing a

much as it can is understandable. However, in the
case of the coal miners, this raises the extremely
pertinent question of just where the limit may be-
At the present time, GO cnts out of each dollar TAX
en- in by coal producers goes for labor COSTS The
industrys profits have been moderate. The only
way out, therefore, would be to again boost the
cost Of coal to the consumer-and that is where
the danger lies.
Coal, vital it is, must be sold in intense
competition with all other fuels If the price should
become high, there would be- greatr use of
these other fuels, and consequent decline in the
use Of coal. And then the miners high-wage jobs
would decline.
Right now the soft coal miners are the high
est-pad Industrial workers in the world. They
have made spectacular gains, not only in wages
but in living and working conditions, and long
list of other tangible benefits It would be the part
