Why Wheat Germ Helps
Combat 7iredness, Irritability

AS YOU WORK, physically or mental
ly, your daily need for Vitamin B,
increases. Wheat Germ is packed
with natural Vitamin B, the
vitamin that is essential to help
convert carbohydrates into energy
and to aid healthy nerve function.
Kretschmer Wheat Germ. is an
easy, dependable way to assure ade-
quate Vitamin B, because it is an
everyday food delicious with
cereal, in meat loaf, salad, cookies.
A small amount-just an ounce
supplies half of an adults daily
requirement of Vitamin b..
In addition to b., Kretschmer's
provides other B-complex vitamins,
protein and iron for stamina,

impossible, the general became
a faithful adherent Of the pro-
gram Of making Europe strong
enough. economically. morally
and militarily. to defeat Russia's
plans for aggression.
Then he became the Re-
publican candidate for the
presidency. And overnight he
changed his mind about what
he stood for.
This man had stood out
against American isolationism,
had supported the Marshall
Plan for aiding Europe. and had
defended Gen. Marshall as a
great patriot. But now he puts
his arm around Senator Jen-
ner, who called Gen. Marshall
a willing front man for trail
tors, and here In Milwaukee.
we are told, he deleted q de-
fense of Gen. Marshall from his
text when Senator Mccarthy
requested it.
In May of this year the gen.
eral opposed the attempts Of
the Republicans in Congress to
slash the appropriations for
economic and military aid for
our allies. But now the Repub-
1ican candidate promises this
country budget reductions Of
$40 billion or more-when he
knows this could only mean q
reduction in military aid to our
friends abroad and in our own
defenSes. We hear the voice
of the general-but the words
come from Senator Taft.
At the beginning Of 1851, the
general assumed the role Of
leadership in building that mill
tary strength for Europe which
will mean eventually that Rus
sia must keep its Yalta promises
and release the peoples Of Cen
tral and Eastern Europe from
Communist bondage. Our pol
icy. and the generals, was to
build that strength so that this
purpose could be accomplished
without war. We did not at
tribute to him the trigger
happy habits we sometimes
associate with the image Of
the military leader.
Yet in his first speech as q
candidate he spoke in un-
guarded terms about ''libera-
ton" for the people behind the
Iron Curtain, terms which mil
lions of people in America and
in Europe interpreted as FORE
Shadowing reckless action
even war.
A few days later the general
withdrew those words. Yet the
record was clear. His newly
acquired Old Guard handlers,
whose words he first spoke, are
men willing to play politics, not
Just with the hopes and anxieties
Of people, but with peace and
war itself.

Vampire Bat.

Word comes that the dreaded
vampire bat has added one more
sin to its activities. Scientists report
that this bat carries rabies. There
are many conflicting reports. All
must be investigated. In 1929 q
native of the village Of Siparia ir
the British crown colony was Bit
ten. He soon became paralyzed ano
died.
The symptoms were most unusual
with leg and foot burning painfully
Fever and headache developed. The
paralysis spread to the other leg
and eventually the muscles of the
throat. until breathing ceased.
An inquest followed with startling
results. Under the microscope the
tiny round structures in the nerve
cells - the negri bodies - conclusive
evidence Of rabies infection, told the
horrible story.
There had not been a solitary
case of rabies on the island since
1914, because of rigid quarantine
laws. No dog can be brought into
Trinidad without a six-month
quarantine. Even then the govern
ment veterinary surgeon must GER
ltify that the dog is free from rabies
So it was natural that all who heard
the story Of the native became con-
cerned.

Now livestock in Trinidad were
succumbing in large numbers to a
strange disease. The tell-tale negri
bodies were found in the brain tis-
sue of the dead animals.
The vampire bat is very common
in Trinidad. The natives pay little
attention to them. But they were
aroused at the number Of them
flying during the daytime.
Natives of Trinidad take the
greatest precautions against these
killers. Windows are closed tight.
All openings are stuffed and a light
burns through the night in the
sleeping room of the family.
Columbus was warned about the
vampire bat in the island Of Trini-
dad. Colonists and missionaries
left records of the vile actions Of
the bats that slept in caves in the
daytime.
Trinidad has prosperous asSort-
ment of bat life with % genera and
"a species, most of them insect
and fruit eaters. Only one species,
the vampire, feeds on blood. This
animal has a wing spread Of l3

She opened her fourth highest
spade, the four, and Mr.. Dale won
with the king. He returned the
eight OF spades and Mr.. Champion
put up the ten spot.
Here Mrs. Keen paused to check
up. There is specific convention
relating to returning the suit partner
had opened. Holding four or more
cards in that suit, you return the
fourth highest.
Holding three, you return the
highest. There are a few excep-
tions to this procedure but this hand
is not one of them.
It was obvious to Mrs. Keen that
Mr.. Dale's eight of spades was not
q fourth highest. Mr.. Dale might
have started with the K, eight
doubleton. But that would give Mr..
Champion a five-card spade suit
and he had consistently turned
down the opportunity of bidding
spades throughout the auction.
It was almost certain, then, that
Mr.. Dale had started with exactly
three spades. Mrs. Keen could win
the second trick with the jack, cash
the ace and lead a fourth spade to
clear the suit. That would leave
her with a good spade. But how
would she ever get in to cash it?
Clearly, she could not do so.
Therefore, it was necessary to con-
cede Mr.. Champion the second trick

These different points of view
are discussed wittily not only by
the principals but by their multi
tude of seconds in the battle ring.
Miss Dayton and Kaufman have
eavesdropped expertly on the
shop talk that has gone on here for
152 years. They have sharpened
it up handsomely in the dialogue
of First Lady" and it remains
good for many a laugh save on a
few badly fumbled lines.
In only one department has
time had its morbid effect upon
what the comedy has to say. This
relates to it's frivolous references
to small nations which have be-
come brothers in the democratic
family instead Of jesting objects.
There are not too many of these
but they create a definite sag in
the spirit of the comedy when
they occur.
