-. How To Stay Healthy.
ARTICLE FOUR NNS)

For the health of yourself and your family, correct
storage OF food is important-to keep contamination out.
and to keep all the vitamins in.
A few worthwhile rules: 1. Keep ripe fruits cool and
spread out. Handle carefully SO as not to bruise, Wash
cherries, berries, and grapes just before using; 2. Keep
bread and cake in a ventilated box. If your kitchen is
very hot, wrap bread and cake in wax paper and store in

very hot, wrap bread and ca
refrigerator.
3. Keep eggs, milk, cream, cheese,
cram-filled pastries, salad dress
ings, gravies and leftovers well
covered in the refrigerator at SO
degrees F. or cooler; 4. Meat, fish,
and poultry should always be I'M
der refrigeration; 5. Keep fats
cold, tightly covered, and in a
dark place away from smelly
foods; g.. Spinach, lettuce, and bro
ccoli will lose about 70 per cent
of their vitamin C if left for 48
hours at room temperature. They,
too, should be stored in the re-
frigerator.
Yur kitchen should always De
scrupulously clean. Your garbage
pail should be made of metal,
watertight, and always covered.
Dishes should be washed with
hot, soapy water, scalded with
boiling water, and left to drain, or
dried with a clean towel.
Then there is the bugaboo Of
colds. The least you can do is try
to avoid one. The moment you
spot someone sneezing or blow
ing his nose, start moving in the
opposite direction. Don't be a.
shamed to change your seat in
the movie house, or on the sub
way, streetcar, or bus. Let the
other person get sprayed.
This winter, make up your mind
you're not going to share the use
of toilet articles, towels, spoons,
glasses, or cups with anyone. Wash
your hands with soap and water
before eating; eat the kind Of
foods you know you should eat;
and shun drafts, wet shoes, and
wet clothing.
Wear rubbers and carry an UNI
brella on threatening days. Don't
hurry out Of an overheated rest
aurant or theater into the cold
night air while you're still per-
spring. Don't Overture yourself.
Don't overhead yourself. Don't
overdress yourself.
C~ontagion is another danger to
face, and act upon properly. 1t
your child contracts one of the
contagious diseases, such as chic
ken pox, measles or whooping
cough, keep him in one room and
keep everyone else out except the
one person who is taking care of
him. She should keep a special
smock hanging in the sickroom,
and whenever she goes in to tend
the patient, she should slip it on
to keep the germs off her dress,
and take it off when ready to
leave.
It's. trouble, yes, but two OF
three sick kids r even more
trouble! Each time she leavs the

Wedemeyer Applies to Retire and Plans to Live in MARYLAND

Wedemeyer had been given a
final physical examination.
Pending that action, 9th Army
headquarters said, the general will
have no statement since he feels
that it would mot be appropriate. "
This announcement brought spec
ulation that Gen. Wedemeyer,
who has had long experience in
the Orient, might have something
to say about the current debate
over Far Eastern policies which
was brought to a head by the
summary dismissal of Gen. Mac
Arthur.
Gen. Wedemeyer headed a
special presidential mission to
China and Korea in 1947 and
submitted his report warning of
a possible Red attack on South
Korea on September 8, 1947. He
also suggested several steps to
prepare South Korea to meet the
menace.
The China portions of the
famed Wedemeyer report were
made public several years ago in
a State Department White Paper"
but the Korean portions were not
made public until last Monday
just before the start of the Sen
ate Macarthur hearings.
But Secretary of State Acheson
said that all of the generals
recommendations concerning Korea
were carried out expect one. He
