Oi Why do doctors send people 2 stores for to VITAMINS? Because the drug store carries the type of vitamins they want their patients to have, and because the experienced pharmacist knows more about the make up of recognized vita min products than anyone else. Vitamin products are the achievement of years of scientific research in world-renowned pharmaceutical and chemistry laboratories. Pharmacists in drug stores and scientists in laboratories, fortified by years of professional training and experience in compounding and dispensing pharmaceuticals vital to public health, form a correlation recognized by the medical profession that establishes drug stores as the logical, safe place for people to obtain any potent product which can or does influence the state of their well-being. If your doctor prescribes vitamins for you, he expects you to go to a drug store and obtain vitamins that are backed by the honor and integrity of thoroughly reliable pharmaceutical houses, whose vitamin products are dependable, full strength, and of proven potency! If you buy vitamins on your own judgment, don't take chances with unknown brands, or buy them on misinformation. Go to your druggist and he will recommend the proper vitamin which would be approved by your doctor. All vitamin products obtainable at SANDE'S are biologically standardized products from the world's leading and most reliable sources. Ask to see vitamin chart which explains results of lack of proper amounts of the different vitamins. When Vitamins Alone Are NOT ENOUGH...

PICTURES TELL OF Andrews, Maynard Aid In Pre senting Interesting Program An interesting program of motion pictures in colors that presented all the steps of sugar production, from the beet seed to the sacked product, was presented Tuesday at a meet ing of the Rotary club. A consid erable part showed the recent ad vances in farm methods and the introduction of machines to replace hand labor. The program was in charge of B. M. Harris, a program committeman for September, who introduced Lyman H. Andrews, superintendent of the Billings fac tory of Great Western Sugar com pany, and Jack Maynard of the Bil lings Brokerage company. The picture began by showing the importance of sugar as a food and implement of war. Actual pro duction scenes began with the seed, now produced wholly in the Uuited States. After planting and after the At Rotary Meeting I young plants had come through the surface of the soil, old hand labor methods and new mechanized were illustrated in connection with the growth, thinning, harvesting and loading. Although the pictures were as sembled from over the whole try, a major portion had been taken in Colorado and Montana, the distance were familiar tains. ways coun Often in moun Transportation from field to rail road and thence to factory was de picted, followed by slicing and the several steps in producing refined sugar from beets. Some idea of j enormousness of the quantity of sugar needed to keep America go ing at home and at the fronts was [conveyed in glimpses of sugar ware houses. By-products are almost important as sugar, particularly in feeding livestock. The closing scenes were shots of that industry. L. A. Nutting spoke briefly on aiding the city in purchasing a cemetary tract and said the subject would be more fully discussed at a later meeting. Rev. M. J. Wilcox read a state ment of intention of Laurel minis ters to hold thanksgiving services at churches immediately after the declaration of victory in western Europe.

Y.-It isn't keen eyesight but "natural radar" that enables bats to avoid tree branches and other obstacles while flying in the dark. The "radar" system of the bats, which follows many principles of the electronics device used in air craft detection, was described re cently by Dr. Robert Galambos of the University of Rochester medical school, in an address broadcast over WGY. Dr. Galambos said bats cannot de pend on their eyes alone to avoid many obstacles. In flight they emit a constant stream of high-pitched "supersonic" cries, too shrill for the human ear to detect.

This year the danger of fire is greater than normal, be cause of the manpower shortage. Forest protection agencies have lost many of their trained "smoke chasers" and no longer can count on large numbers of men to combat conflagrations. Last year in the single state of California, fires in timbered areas, water sheds, and grain fields swept through 675,000 Nine out of ten were man made and therefore prevent acres. able. Such fires do irreparable damage to the war effort. They I destroy natural resources that only time can replace. Where J Standing timber has been wiped out, this means hundreds of years. From now until the first soaking fall rains, efforts to pre Extreme care should be used Extreme caution should govern the use oi vent fire should be redoubled, in burning trash. Every cigarette butt should be completely extinguished, matches. There are stiff penalties for failure to observe preventa tive measures during the fire season. But even these are futile unless the public wholeheartedly cooperates with fire prevention authorities.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE SCORES AGAIN After two years of research, the announcement is now made that the oil industry is ready to produce at the command of the military forces, a new super-fuel for aviation so much powerful than 100-octane gasoline that it will permit more maximum bombing of the Japanese mainland on a "suburban service schedule," While the chemical details of the new pro duct are withheld, the Petroleum War Council has disclosed! that this fuel, called "100-octane plus," is expected to surpass

Sill other gasolines in the world in volatility and conseQuent performance. William R. Bond, Jr., chairman of the council, said that the product was designed to "draw from the lethal B-29 Super fortresses and the futuristic B-32 Bombers and the most] modern fighter escort planes, their originally intended maxi mums in sustained speed, short take-offs, combat radius and load-carrying capabilities.

Stops Run Colorless nail polish or a drop of mending cement applied when a thread is broken in a silk stocking stops the run until more permanent repairs can be made. Crop Outlook For 1945 Throughout the irrigated districts there is a good deal of discussion about 1945 crops. If the war ends in Europe before next spring, what is the outlook next year for each of the crops grown this year? Beans? Corn? Potatoes? Beets? The prospect for sugar beets has been established by the announcement of the War Food Administration August 5 which stated that "The price support program for the 1945 sugar beet crop will be at least as favorable as the 1944 program, under which growers will average about $12.50 per ton of beets, including payments under Sugar Act of 1937. I The assurance given by this announce ment is noticeable in the amount of fall pre paration already under way. The program is already ahead of what had been done by this time last year. Even where the soil is rather dry for disking or plowing, consider able manure is being hauled out. In Com pany areas not suited to fall plowing, farm ers are already discussing the best outlook and making their plans accordingly. The Great Western Sugar Company Soldiers Take Up Geology in North Think Aleutians May Reveal Secrets of Earth. AN ADVANCED ALEUTIANS BASE.—The scientific bent of ama teur geologists and naturalists among the troops stationed in the Aleutian theater is rapidly adding to the world's knowledge of these bleak islands jutting into the North Pacific. Geologically the islands are com paratively young and scientists hope discoveries made here will dispel some of the mysteries of the earth's formation. In an effort to centralize handling of archeological artifacts, the Alaska department has instruct ed soldiers to turn their finds over to the University of Alaska for clas sification. However, other soldiers are sending geological and biologi cal specimens outside to various sci entific institutions. Among the latter group is Lieut. Chris L. York of Round Rock, Texas. York, a former high school teacher, has sent more than 100 specimens of Aleutian island plant life to the University of Texas for study and classification. The specimens in clude some 40 different plants, some duplicates and some triplicates of the same plant found growing at dif ferent elevations, at different sea sons or under conditions which would provide a basis for compara tive analysis. "I send the specimens back to the University of Texas and they send them on to persons directly interest ed in studying northern plant life, York said. "It would cost a lot of money to send someone up here to

gather specimens over the period I have been here, and in a way it makes possible studies that may not otherwise have been possible for some time." Lack of Sleep Greatest Privation Inside Reich LISBON. City dwellers in Ger many complain more about the lack of sleep than any other privation, a traveler just returned to Portugal from a business trip in the Reich said recently. Frequent air alarms give the people no chance to relax, he said, adding that they are going in and out of shelters day and night as a result of concentrated Allied bomb ing attacks and numerous alarms sounded when Allied planes actually bound for some other target area pass nearby. The traveler complained that he got no sleep during a three-day so journ in Germany. He said the Ger mans were dull, tired and apathetic and showed little reaction to the news of the attempted assassination of Hitler, "except perhaps to be still less inclined to talk to strangers or among themselves." He noted that Gestapo guards at railway stations and airports were tripled after the news broke. Declaring that the disorganization of transportation had resulted in a growing food shortage, the traveler said that during a 24-hour stay in Stuttgart he was unable to buy a meal or even a sandwich or a cup of ersatz coffee. Yield of Taxes for This Year Will Double 1943 WASHINGTON. Federal taxes for the fiscal year 1944 reached the record yield of $40,118,819,808, or nearly double the 1943 total, the treasury reported, with individual income tax returns almost triple what they were a year earlier. The total for the 1944 tax year, the 12-month period ended June 30, compared with $22,371,386,496 col lected in the 1943 fiscal year. Individual income tax payments attained the unprecedented total of $18,257,180,877 for the 1944 year, compared with $6,629,931,989 in 1943. Corporation income taxes were $5,248,847,309 in 1944 compared with $4,520,851,709 in 1943. The 1944 excess profits taxes totaled $9,335,829,079, compared with $5,063,863,613, and employment taxes were $1,737,863,385, compared with $1.498,705,033. The treasury's tabulation showed Illinois corporations paid $382,430, 601 in 1943 and $448,343,498 in 1944. Individuals paid $548,853,470 in 1943 and $1,376,202,145 in 1944. Report Nazis Executed 32 Boy Scouts in Poland LONDON.—The London headquar ters of the Association of Polish Scouts and Guides said it had re ceived word of the execution of 32 Boy Scouts in Poland early last month by German occupation au thorities. The Germans, who had banned the Scout movement in Po land, were said to have carried out the executions after a mass arrest of young people in the town of Nowy Saez during an investigation into Scout activities. Artificial Limbs Prepared for Vets Legs Made of Half Plastic and Half Glass. NEW YORK.—Artificial arms and legs, half fiber glass and half plastic, have been developed to replace the lost limbs of American soldiers. These are literally glass limbs, since the fiber glass, with strands so fine they are singly invisible, im part most of the unusual and de sirable qualities. They are made in the laboratories of the Paramount Rubber company, Detroit, an organization of synthetic rubber and plastics engineers, and have been offered to the military forces. A fiber glass leg is strong, with a tensile strength of nearly 40,000 pounds a square inch. A glass leg is said never to squeak, It holds bolts and metal attachments firmly, and doesn't get out of line. Having great resistance to ter mites and other insects, to water, body acids, surface wear and changes of heat and cold, they can be given plastic coatings to simu late the color and texture of flesh. An advantage, says the Para mount announcement, is the speed of molding to shape and size. Com pared with 12 hours required by an experienced craftsman to sculpture seasoned English willow for a knee to ankle section, the glass-plastic can be molded in 15 minutes. The makers plan to manufacture the limbs in 12 to 18 sizes, with plastic strips which can be laid on and sculptured by hand to match the opposite member. The laboratory is experimenting with a casting resin to be placed in a leg or arm top, to take the im press of muscles which have to be positioned accurately in fitting arti ficial limbs. Glass crash helmets, made of sim ilar materials, also are being pro duced by the company. NUMBER 1 on the list of things You Must Do! Visit the Wong Sun Co. if you aren't feeling well.

Disabled Vets Hold Navy Jobs Hundreds Wounded in War Are Now Serving in Important Jobs. NEW YORK. Matthew Wagner Jr. lost a leg on the beach at Casa blanca when a mine exploded under a charging American tank, killing two of its occupants and wounding the others. Today that wounded sol dier has a full-time job as a prop erty and supply clerk at the New ^ork navy yard. He is only one of more than 800 disabled veterans of this war at work in the yard's warehouses and shops and on its fighting ships. Vet- I erans of landings in Africa, Sicily j and Italy, of campaigns on Guadal- canal, Bougainville and New j Guinea, of the Arctic and the battle of the Coral sea, their number is in creasing by eight a day. Many lack an arm, a leg or an eye, but they are doing a "splendid job," Rear Adm. Monroe Kelly, commandant of the yard, said, "both in helping the war effort and in helping themselves." Wagner of Maspeth, N. Y., gets about the supply house nimbly on crutches. As soon as his leg is ready for an artificial limb, Wagner, who knows "how terrible war can be" says he will try to get back into the army. Enter Trade Schools. Three junior officers with civilian personnel experience are working under the commandant with shop supervisors in placing the disabled men in positions for which they are suited, the Third naval district said. Men without special training or those unable to return to the jobs for which they are fitted are sent to one of the yard's trade schools to begin as help-trainees. "There are two primary con siderations," Admiral Kelly said, "what is best for the man himself and where can he best be employed in helping the war effort. Obviously a man with a back injury or a miss ing leg can't stand up at a lathe all day, so we try to place him at a job where he can sit down. "A man with a medical history of battle fatigue or extreme shock, even though he may be all right physically, can't endure the inces sant noise of the boiler shop, so he may go to the sail loft or one of the more quiet shops until he is more fully recovered "In no Instance, however, do we I i coddle the men. They emphatically don't want it, we have found." Arthur C. Eberspeacher, 31, of Brooklyn, was a Wall street clerk before he joined the army. Today he's doing a similarly classified. job in the yard's electrical shop. Eberspeacher's hair turned white on Guadalcanal, where he was among the first army troops to re lieve the marines, and he was dis- charged for battle fatigue and re current malaria which still sends him to a veterans' hosnital oc veterans hospital oc y Takes Up Electricity. Frank Robert Aiello, 26, of Brook lyn, joined the marines in 1936, right after his graduation by Stamford (Conn.) high school. Wounded on Bougainville, he contracted malaria on Guadalcanal. "I don't know anything except how to be a marine," Aiello said. "Now that I'm disabled I can't fol low my profession, so I'm learning another. I'm going to be a good electrician, because in addition to my wife, I've got a Tittle marine' two years old." Carmine Pizzo, 24, of Brooklyn, is i veteran, the only survivor of his platoon, Pizzo says he can "get by nicely on this checking job because I can hold a pad of paper with what's left of my left arm, and these two fingers that are gone from my right hand don't interfere with my writing much." the principal support of a widowed mother and three sisters. A Salerno "These men who have made such sacrifices are interested in a chance to do a day's work on their own, where they can continue to help out in this war," Admiral Kelly said, "and that's what we see they get." I Dutch Citizenship Papers German Soldiers Seeking LONDON.—The possibility that the Germans are preparing to plant fifth-columnists in regions liberated by the Allies was seen when word was received that large numbers of German soldiers had been attempt ing to obtain documents of Nether lands citizenship. The documents could also be used by German soldiers seeking to de sert. The Germans have been pay ing exhorbitant prices for such pa pers, but the Netherland under ground newspaper Vrij Nederland warned Netherlanders not to help 1 them.

Synthetic Tubes Since synthetic tubes are rather easily damaged in mounting and re moving, sharp pointed bars or screw drivers should not be used. Even with blunt tire tools car# should be taken to avoid puncturing a synthetic tube. When damaged, synthetic tubes are harder to re pair and usually require vulcanii ing by competent repairmen. Th# old style cold patches are not de pendable and should be considered for a short emergency only. Preventing Bloat Authorities on animal diseases say for the prevention of bloat cattl# and sheep should be kept out of clover, alfalfa and other luxuriant pasture until the dew is off. Feed some hay each morning before turn ing the animals out to pasture. If an animal starts bloating, place a gag such as a broomstick or bridl# bit in the mouth for temporary re lief and call a veterinarian imm# diately. Bedding Oust Protection of allergic patient# from bedding dusts is an important medical problem. Up until a few years ago inflated rubber mat tresses and pillows were the only recourse. According to a prominent New York physician, true relief for many allergic patients is now pos sible through use of special en casings for pillows, mattresses and box springs.

-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Allied Invasion of Yugoslavia Poses Another Threat to Reich; Plan for Small Standing Army by Western Newspaper Union. (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper news analysts \h •i À y Â

V Hi „X# i mm

I mm li Jj Jr. H i-; Entering Chambois, France, the Allies found abandoned, wrecked and burned German equipment, common sights along the enemy's battered retreat route to the Reich. EUROPE: Netv Front For the little man with the clipped mustache, there seemed to be no end of trouble. Although his broken armies in the west were reorganizing for a stiffer Stand against the U. S. and British onslaught, and although his bat tered armies in the east were slow ing the Russians from the Black sea to the Carpathians, the Allies posed Still another threat to his narrowing defensive circle by an invasion of Yugoslavia. As Russian troops tore across Romania onto the eastern Yugoslav border near the capital of Belgrade, U. S. and British forces landed on the western coast for a drive in land. worked forward for a junction, Mar shal Josip Tito's Partisans were ac tive in harassing German troops and sabotaging communication lines. The twin offensive in Yugoslavia doubly imperilled the harried le gions of Adolf Hitler. First, the U. S., British and Russian drives promised to link the Allied armies for a con certed attack against southern Austria and Hungary, and, also to outflank the Nazis manning the Gothic line in Italy to the west; and, second, an Allied junction would cut off an esti mated 260,000 enemy troops re maining in lower Yugoslavia, Greece and the Aegean islands. Stiffen at Border As the two Allied armies Bleated the German radio to fanatical Nazi rearguards resisting the U. S. and British drives to the Reich's western frontier: "Every day gained now amounts to a reinforcement of our national strength for the defense of the Reich itself. Partly because of such resistance, partly because the fast-moving Al lied armies had outrun their length ening supply lines, the U. S. and British thrusts in the Lowlands and France temporarily lost their whirl ing momentum. Fighting particularly heavy in northeastern Belgium before the fortress city of Liege and in the rugged Ardennes for est, and directly to the east of Paris, where American troops drew up along the Moselle river for an assault on Nazi defenses guarding the rich industrial Saar basin. was Mounted thickly in the precipitous, wooded heights east of the Moselle, the German artillery maintained a steady drumfire against doughty U. S. troops seeking to establish firm bridgeheads across the river. Farther to the south, Lieut. Gen. Alexander Patch's Seventh army, driving up from the Mediterranean for a juncture with Lieut. Gen. George Patton's Third army along the Moselle, drove on the Belfort gap. the low-lying plane between I the Vosges mountains of France and Swiss border leading into Germany. Costly Fighting Reflecting the strong pressure th» Russians were exerting to the north east of Warsaw, the Germans ac knowledged their withdrawal across the Narew river, .to avoid the danger of a Russian breakthrough on the southern border of East Prus sia." In withdrawing across the Narew, the Nazis continued their policy of economizing their forces by giving ground when the superior weight of their opponent promised to grind down their manpower. Because of the proximity of the Russians to German soil, however, the Nazis no longer were free to make wholesale withdrawals, but now faced bloody front-line fighting. MISCELLANY OPA VIOLATIONS: In the first half of this year, formal enforce ment of Office of Price administra tion regulations was necessary in 42,000 cases, involving violations of price ceilings, rationing quotas, and rent levels. Action included revoca tion of 20,684 consumer gasoline ra tions, 4,265 suits for injunctions, 1,158 triple damage suits, and 2,191 crimi nal prosecutions. CIVILIAN GOODS: Postwar Formula Manufacture of civilian goods will begin in earnest with the fall of Ger many, with war output due to drop about 40 per cent, and 4,000,000 work ers freed for other jobs, the War Production board revealed. At the present time, a limited re conversion program has been insti tuted, with emphasis placed upon preparation for the eventual resump Because of the U. S.'s record breaking production of 79,350,000 tons, world steel output rose to 146,500,000 tons in 1943. While production increased here, it dropped from 28,000,000 to 20, 000,000 tons in Germany and from 18,000,000 to 12,000,000 tons in Russia. tion of civilian production. Under current regulations, manufacturers are permitted to develop working postwar models and order machin ery for civilian output. In allowing those manufacturers not engaged in war work to start turning out civilian lines after the Nazis' downfall, the WPB will main tain priorities for military produc tion alone and will relax most of its controls over materials. Further more, it will provide assistance for manufacturers in switching over to civilian work. DEMOBILIZATION: Discharge Plans Total length of service, time served overseas, combat record and dependency will govern the demobi lization of soldiers following the de feat of Germany, the army an nounced. Under the army's plans for releas ing surplus men, each of the first four mentioned factors will be worth a certain number of points, with re lease going to doughboys with the highest ratings. However, it was pointed out, men with qualifications needed for the war in the Pacific will be transferred to the Far East regardless of their status. Because the war in the Pacific will receive first call on shipping, it may take many months for men eligible for demobilization to return to this country, the army said. Since men in camps here are expected to have the lowest priority ratings, they will constitute the principal pool for replacements. Since the U. S.'s full seapower will be needed in the all-out war against Japan, there will be no de mobilization of the navy when Ger many falls. Future Army Declaring that "a large standing army has no place among the institutions of a modern democratic state," Gen. George C. Marshall told of ficers planning the postwar military or ganization to work on a small, efficient force with a re

V V« serve of well trained citizens. In issuing his di rective, General Marshall assumed that congress would pass legislation requiring every able-bodied Amer ican youth to undergo training be fore placement in the reserves. By advocating a small, efficient force with a large pool of reservists, General Marshall said that there was more opportunity for advance ment in such an organization than there was in a big standing army, where the size made it necessary to maintain a large, professional officers' cast at all times. Gen. Marshall HELP WANTED A shortage of 200,000 workers ists in the principal industrial gions of the country, and it can be remedied only by shifting men and women from areas where there is less stringency, the War Manpower commission declares. Heavy war industries in New Eng land, North Atlantic, Middle West and the Pacific Coast are being hampered by lack of skilled help. Only in the South and Southwest is there an approximately adequate labor supply. ex re PACIFIC: Tougher Going With U. S. forces edging closer to the Philippines and Japan itself through intensive operations against the Bonins lying 600 miles from Tokyo, Navy Secretary James For restal warned the country that the going would become increasingly tougher as the enemy concentrated his forces for a fight on a shorter front. In speaking of the enemy's air force, Forrestal said: "The Japs, have obviously been saving their planes for the engagement to come. Except for the battle of the eastern Philippines, they have not risked a big aerial battle for months.'' In addition to concentrating num bers, the Japs have also been im proving the quality of their planes, Forrestal revealed. Said he: "Jap planes of every type now have greater fire power, armament, speed, range and load capacity. United States navy planes have been imp: oved, too, but we don't now have as big technical advan tages as a year ago." d n Remove Rationing Because War Food Administrator Marvin Jones advised that available and prospective supplies justified the step, the government removed from rationing all canned and processed jams, jellies, fruit butters, aspara-1 gus, lima beans, corn, peas, pump-J kins, squash, mixed vegetables, j baked beans, tomato sauce and puree and all varieties of soups and I baby foods. At the same time, a WFA spokes man declared that heavy runs of j cattle may permit the removal of commercial grade beefsteaks and roasts from rationing in October or November. At present, sizable mar- ketings of grass-fed stock have re-1 suited in ample point-free supplies of utility grade meats. Lighter runs j of prime cattle, on the other hand, I will make continued rationing of top I cuts necessary. CANNED FOODS: 1 N I I II I I ft I i Charts Quake

Ë CATTLE: War Prices As the war entered its sixth year this month, price levels of meat ani mals were from 45 to 105 per cent higher than they were in September, 1939. On the Chicago market, cattle that brought $12 per hundredweight six years ago sold at $18.35. Steers that averaged $10.30 then drew $15.85. The rise was equally marked in hogs, with head under 240 pounds, which brought $8 per hundredweight six years ago, selling for the $14.75 ceiling. As a whole, the average of, $7 of 1939 was far below the 1944 figure of $14.35. Against the top of $10 in 1939, lambs drew $14.65 per hundred weight, with the $9.50 average of six years ago below this month's mark of $14.25.

Ac cording to his figures, beet tops, about 10 pounds daiy, or tops lr- m four tons of beets per steer; grain (oats and barley) about six pounds daily, starting off with two pounds and finishing up with 10 pounds, a total of 720 pounds per steer.

Jake always feeds a mineral sup plement to provide sufficient phos phorus during the early part of his feeding operations when his cattle are getting a liberal supply of low cost by-products apt to be lacking in this essential mineral. Feeding operations of this type demonstrate the fattening value of well preserved tops and other by products properly supplemented to secure most effective results.

LAUREL CREAMERY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Substance was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which was read in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Sept. 10, 1944. The Golden Text was: yy A good name is rather to be chosen than

great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold" (Pro. 22 1 Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men. Teach ing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we' should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" (Tit. 2:11, 12). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: God is substance and man is the divine image and likeness, man should wish for, and in reality has, only the substance of good, the substance of Spirit, not matter (p 301).
