generally--agreed-that here Is one of the war's
most vital "problems and that there has been a
good deal of fumbling in the search for its
solution. .; Here in the Klamath basin we have
a comparatively small but nevertheless Import
ant segment of - the national producing area. If
we are able,' through the various means at our
disposal, to save every ounce of the food pro
ducts f rom ' our farms, we at least will have
done our part, and It will be cause for great
community 'satisfaction.
It will take a coordinated community effort
and the personal interest of our people. It will
require organization, In order to make that in
terest count to the utmost. We think It will
be done.
Registration
LAST year,- city people generally responded
: splendidly, to the appeal for help on the
farms. The program was not so well organized
as- it should have been, resulting In some lost
motion, but the help of people from town and
the suburbs did play a mighty Important part
In,: getting In the crops.
This year, with more men gone to the serv
ices and to war work elsewhere, it is even
more Important that the labor supply from
town be prepared to fill in wherever gaps occur
among farm workers. Certain steps were taken
last year to be prepared to close down busi
ness houses, for short periods so that more
city workers could go out. That was not
necessary last year; It may be necessary to do
It; this year.
The nub of the plan is for every, one who
can possibly.-do work on the farms to register
at- the US employment office for assignment
to ; work if needed. : This registration program
has already started with fairly satisfactory re
sults. But a great many more must file their
names, signifying their availability, If there Is
to be a safe supply of labor from this source.
The registration is part of the vitally-necessary
organization of the program- It means
that workers can be assigned where needed.
It: will eliminate the unsatisfactory situation
which resulted last year when so many people
went out on. their own looking for jobs and,
facing to find them Immediately, became dis
couraged or got an erroneous Idea that there
was no labor shortage.
Incidentally, It is a good idea for workers
tbj- attempt to arrange their "time off' from
town jobs so they can work more than a single
day. If they can work two or three days at a
time, or perhaps a week or two while on "va
cation," they will get Into the groove and can
do. a better Job with less physical discomfort.
But even the single day workers can. help, and
all who can contribute anything at all should
register.

best use of the labor that may be supplied, and
especially to use youth labor sensibly.
Last year, during the early summer, there
was considerable concern felt over the harvest
problem, as there has been this year. After
it was all over, and the harvest was a success,
some may have felt that the early concern
was unjustified. In fact, that early concern
may have given the additional Impetus that
put over the 1942 harvest.
This year, we have the concern and we are
moving ahead with organization, which is more
important. The support and cooperation of
every resident of the community will carry
this' vitally important wartime project through
to success.
The War Today
By D.WITT MacKENZIE
(Editor's Note: Paul Mallon, Herald and News
Washington commentator, is on vacation. Dur
ing his absence, articles from DeWitt MacKenzie
and various other writers will appear in this
space.)
THE bombing of Borne has created a world
wide tension which is becoming increasing
ly taut because of voluntary repression of
public discussion, due to a tacit recognition
all around that It's a subject which is full of
dynamite. .
While there's a strong disinclination to de
bate the air raid which already has taken
place, a very general hope is being recorded
that circumstances will render further bombing
unnecessary. From many countries is coming
the renewed appeal that Mussolini remove all
military objectives from Rome and declare it
an "open city" which, under international law,
would put it outside the war zone.
This is a move which has been urged on
the fascist chief ever since Italy entered the
war, but he never has given any indication that
he Intended to comply. Obviously his reasons
are that Borne has provided him not only with
an essential military base but a place of se
curity for his headquarters. His reluctance
can be understood when one Is given tha def
inition of "open city."
What Is An "Open City?"
IN 'checking on tills matter I turned to au
thorities In both Washington and London. My
understanding is that an "open city" is one
from which have been removed all troops, de
fenses, military installations (including head
quarters and headquarters staff), military pro
duction (which mean! any kind of war factory),
and transportation facilities which are used for
the movement of military supplies or personnel.
When all this has been done, the power in
possession then declares the city "open." ,
Since Mussolini not only Is head of the gov
ernment, but commander in chief of the army
and navy, he obviously would be barred from
Borne.
From an authoritative source in London I
further understand that the procedure of creat
ing the "open city" would be Initiated by Italy
through a third party, asking for allied condi
tions. Moreover, the allies wouldn't reply on
the enemy's word that all conditions had been
fulfilled, but would take such steps as are
necessary to see that they had been carried out.
Just how the allies would satisfy themselves
on this point isn't stated. That would be laid
down if and when their conditions were asked
for by Mussolini. They either would have to
rely on a third party, or send their own repre
sentatives to investigate. It naturally would be
sufficient If the Vatican, for Instance, should
find it possible to give assurances that condi
tions had been carried out.
ELKS REDECORATE
Improvements are underway
on both the lower and second
floors of the Klamath Falls Elks
lodge building at Third and
Main streets.
A complete redecoration of
the second floor lodge room has
been undertaken under direc
tion, of Trustees Lloyd Goble,
Cecil Adams and E. B. Hall. A
color scheme in keeping with
the lodge colors has been adopt
ed for this large room.
On the lower floor, sound
absorbent insulation is being in
stalled in the buffet room and
various minor changes made.

"Acidosis" Rarely Found;
Usually Wrong Diagnosis
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
The condition of "acidosis" or
excess acid in the body is a com
mon explanation of hundreds of
ills, with which the process has
no concern. Actually the balance
maintained by the body between
acid and alkali is extremely con
stant. Anxiety over an "acid
condition" is equivalent to wor
rying about the results of drink
ing an extra glass of water.
This balance between' acid and
alkali is but one of several phy
siological equilibriums of the
body. The intake and output of
fluid, the production and dissi
pation of heat are other familiar
examples.
UTILIZATION OF FOODS
When sugars and fats are
burned to provide fuel for the
body, carbonic acid is produced.
This acid is brokendown into
carbon-dioxide and watej. The
lungs excrete the" carbdn-diox-ide,
and the kidneys eliminate
the water. . ,
During its stay in the blood,
this acid aids in the regulation
of breathing. The utilization of
proteins results in the liberation
of amino-acids, and these acids
are used by the body in building
muscle and repairing tissue.
Muscular activity is a function
in which several acids are con
cerned. One of the end-products
of muscular activity is lactic
acid. Large quantities of hydro
chloric acid are manufactured
by the glands in the stomach
wall, and emptied Into the stom
ach, where it aids in the diges
tion of food. Uric acid is present
in the blood in a state of health,

NEW BAKING RECIPES
USE LESS SHORTENING
By GAYNOR MADDOX
Now that corn meal is being
enriched with the vitamin B com
plex, there's a nutritious reason
too for serving it as a substan
tial breakfast dish. But make
your corn bread of bacon drip
pings,, chicken fat or cracklings
to save our national fat supply
and your own red points and
money.
The Bureau of Human Nutri
tion and Home Economics has
just issued a pamphlet called
"Fats in Wartime Meals." It's
an important document, especial
lly so in homes where hot breads
and home-made pies and cakes
are customary Here are two
fat-saving recipes good for a sub
stantial and easy to eat break
fast. Crackling Corn Bread
Two cups corn meal, 1 cup
sifted flour, 4 tablespoons baking
powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 egg,
beaten, 2 cups milk, 1 cup crack
lings.. Sift together the dry ingredi
ents, add milk, to which beaten
egg has been added, and mix
well. Stir in the cracklings cut
into small pieces or ground
through a food chopper. (Crack
lings are the crisp brown pieces
left after fat is rendered.) Pour
the mixture into a greased pan
and bake in a hot oven (425 dcg.
F.) 30 to 40 minutes or until well
browned. Serve piping hot. If
you use sour milk -in the above
recipe, add 1 teaspoon of soda
and omit the baking powder.
Biscuits, Wartlm Style
(Makes about 12 biscuits)
Two cups sifted flour, 1 tea
spoon salt, 3 teaspoons baking
powder, 2 tablespoons fat (drip
pings, rendered pork, beef fat, 01
lard), milk to make soft dougr
(I to 1 cup). .
Sift the dry ingredients to
gether and cut in the fat well.
Stir in enough milk to make a
soft dough. Drop the dough by
spoonfuls on to a baking sheet

but only in real cases of gout Is
its concentration increased.
The incomplete utilisation of
fats, as it occurs in uncontrolled
diabetes, may bring about the
accumulation of fatty acids to a
degree that causes intense poi
soning, resulting in diabetic
coma. But this condition does
not appear under ordinary cir
cumstances, and diabetics can
prevent it with insulin.
BODY CONTROL EFFICIENT
The chemical control of the
body is so efficient that diet
leaving a strong acid or alkali
ash cannot alter the reaction of
the blood or tissues beyond the
normal and very restricted lev
els through which it may fluc
tuate. The blood is always slightly
alkaline, and even the slightest
acid reaction is incompatible
with life. The urine, however,
varies from acid to alkaline, be
cause it carries out of the body
any excess that might disturb
the balance of the blood. After
a meal, the urine is alkaline; at
other times it may be, and
usually is, moderately acid.
Acids are essential constitu
ents of the chemical reactions
that make up life, and ace not
antagonistic to perfect health.
The frequent use of "alkalinl
zers" with which so many peo
ple dose themselves is a far
greater threat to health than the
bogey of acidosis. Long-continued
use of alkaline medicines
may cause irreparable kidney
damage, and may mask symp
toms of troubles that must be
treated with knowledge ot their
true cause.
and bake in a hot oven (425 deg,
F.) for about 15 minuatcs or un
til lightly browned. The fat may
be reduced to 1 tablespoon but
this makes a crisper and less ten
der biscuit. To make a "lid" for
meat or vegetable pie, roll the
dough about one-half-inch thick,
cover the stew, and bake in a hot
oven.

(Eat the Basic 7 Every Day)
BREAKFAST: Blackberries,
milk, crackling corn bread,
fortified margarine, honey or
jam, coffee, milk.
LUNCHEON: Raw vegetable
and egg salad with mayon
