' The nation, which is never without its alleged shortage, is now running out of cigarettes, and by next year there will be a , famine in all the leading brands.

Jones, who is reported to be one of the social leaders of the city and claims to reside at 1749 Capital Hill avenue, is said to have given what pnrported to be a reception yesterday after noon. It is understood that considerable number. Tf i so called guests, reported to be ladies notorious in society circles,- were present, and some of them are quoted as saying thev had enjoyed the occasion It is charged that .Bower furn ished the alleged refreshments and Stringham the purported music. The hostess is said to have worn a necklace of alleged pearls which she declares was given to her by her reputed hus band." (Excnange.) Ana, courthouse reporter take over, It is hardly an exaggeration to state that but for Russia, Great Britain and the United States would today be defeated nations. This is certainly true of Great Britain. Had Hitler in June 1941 turned all his power against England and North Africa, instead of against Soviet Russia, Great Britain with all her fortitude and courage could hardly have stood up against it. And while the defeat of England might not have resulted also in the defeat of the United States, be cause of our great distance from Germany and our unlimited resources, this much is reasonably cer tain : GERMANY COULD THEN NEVER HAVE BEEN BEATEN! Yes without England as a U. S. base, and without the aid of the British fleet, we would have been powerless to strike Nazi Germany effectively any where in Europe, and then, of course, with the Anglo American forces practically out of it, Hitler could have concentrated upon the U.S.S.R., and only some miracle, not readily imaginable at this time, could have saved Europe from complete domination by the Axis. JNDER such circumstances England and the United States would be ingrates indeed, if they did not feel the deepest gratitude toward Russia and wish to do everything within their power to repay the debt on one hand, and cooperate in every conceivable way with Russia, in the common purpose of making the defeat of Germany COMPLETE, on the other. And this undoubtedly IS the feeling in both Eng land and the United States. ' From one of the most UNpopular countries in English-speaking lands, Soviet Russia, since she re sisted invasion so gallantly, has become one of the most POPULAR, this popularity extending into all walks of life, and as is usual in such matters, in some quarters, the feeling has gone to needless extremes. UOWEVER in this COUNTRY AS A WHOLE, a pretty sane emotional balance has been main tained. Uncle Sam is EXTREMELY grateful, he could hardly be otherwise. He wishes to bring this terrible war to as immediate and complete a termination as possible, and he realizes that without the fullest and most whole-hearted cooperation with Soviet Russia this will be impossible. That he wishes to give. -.- . AT the same time, "Uncle's" definition of coopera " tion is One of MUTUAL service, as well as mutual obligation, hot a one-sided arrangement for either party. ' . : And while his gratitude is boundless, and his desire to aid Russia, practically limitless, this does not mean he wishes to JOIN the communist party, necessarily; become a "yes man" to any and every Kremlin dic tum; or insist that a silver-plated halo be fitted imme diately to Comrade Stalin's head. The United States wishes to fight with Russia "to the death", as she fights with Great Britain arid all the other United Nation allies; not yielding an inch until complete victory has been won. But this does NOT mean, that if Soviet Russia advocates something the American people or their leaders believe is wrong, or stands for something they can't consistently endorse, or proposes some action they believe would jeopardize the allied cause, that they can't criticize and oppose the same as vigorously and uncompromis ingly as they would, if the proposal came from any other source, -and above all without being accused of siding with the classes against the masses, or giving aid and comf ort to the unholy Fascist cause I VET that is the Browder line in this country and . that of his fellow communists, as those who have seen the texts of .the recent Browder speeches will agree. It s a great mistake as we see it I , And one, if persisted in might well lead to the very misfortune it is presumably designed to prevent, i.e. : An impairment of that complete and mutual confi dence and good will and cooperation which has exist td between the United States and Russia in this war, and should continue uninterrupted and unimpaired until the complete and final victory has been won! Promoters of Irascibility . :'. Senator Buck of Delaware has introduced a "money" bill in the Senate which will receive .wide spread, popular, support It would require' the with drawal of all pennies minted since December 23 and prohibit further coinage of pieces "not rapidly dis tinguishable from coins of other denominations." : The new "coppers" which look like a dime with which the country is now being flooded are breeders of irascibility and it will be difficult to convince the public that any metal shortage can be so acute as to rrtalra fVtia'miiaannA'rtnnooaarv ' '' t Every time a citizen finds one of these coins in nis pocket, he instinctively wonders whether he has been gypped out of nine cents, and then he wants a bucket of tar and feathers for the individual wno invented them.

OVEREATING AND MALNUTRITION of Infants, children, iwaa du. to lack of vitamin Millions youths and acV'.ts of the middle or well-to-do classes as well as the poor in America suffer from malnu trition alt ho they are not deprived of food at all, in fact most of them overeat. Malnutrition does not mean wasting, ema ciation, under- P7 Dr. Brady weight or undersize necessarily. Most persons with malnutrition are of normal average size and weight or overweight, and for that reason the manifestations of their malnutrition are often attributed to sheer laziness, carelessness or stupidity. In the medical, physiological or health sense of the word, nu trition is "the sum of the pro cesses by which an animal or plant takes in and utilizes food substances . The processes con cerned in building up cells and tissues or the protoplasm of which they are composed, and its destruction incidental to life, liberty and the pursuit I mean the chemical changes in the cells and tissues by which energy is provided for the vital functions and for the perform ance of muscular work and new material is supplied for repair of wear and tear, is technically termed metabolism. Now it should be obvious that when doctors speak of malnutri tion they do not mean that the poor child doesn't get enough to eat nor that the condition can be prevented or corrected by providing milk or other food for children in school. Many individuals who have little appetite are overweight or obese, and many who have a good appetite and consume more than the average amount of food are underweight. More over, we know from every day observation that many individ uals who are overweight or obese and frequently indulge in "gorges on candy, sweets, sugar, nevertheless do not quite satisfy the hunger they feel, the constant hunger that drives them to such excesses even though they know effect is only aggravation of their condition. Describing mild vitamin B de ficiency Drs. Vorhaus, Williams and Waterman (Jour. A.M.A., 11, 16, '35) said: Mild deficiency of vitamin Bl usually goes unrecognized. There are vague pains, usually elicited only by pressure over tbe nerve roots, general malaise, anorexia (lack" of appetite) and constipation. Small amounts of sugar may be present in the urine, without hyperglycemia (loo much sugar in the blood). There is usually a large carbo hydrate (sugar and starch) In take, often associated with a tendency to obesity. These cases are frequently classified as po tential obesity. ; More about fudge gorges later. ' QUESTIONS A ANSWERS Brown or Rc4 Hrttcr Tlmn (Ireen I believe you have stated that the Iron and acimonlum eltr&te you rec ommend lor th. horn, made tonic comes In "garnet red scales or gran ule." and makes a reddish or brown dear solution la water.
