sending mail through the Post
Office. That reduced the deficit
by another $115,000,000.
Other efficiencies were of the
type that would occur to any
businessman with respect for
the taxpayer’s dollar. One was
to use light nylon pouches in-
stead of heavy canvas for air
mail. That saves about $800,000
a year.
Summerfield also discovered
that the Post Office was buying
mail box posts in Baltimore at
$3.92 each and shipping theni
to the West Coast at a cost of
$11 to $15 each. The Post Office
now buys them on the West
Coast for $6.70 each. _

George settled into his easy
chair with the new novel that
had come in the mail that morn-
ing, while Mrs. Rimer took up
her sewing.
After a few moments the si-
lence was shattered by George
hurling the book to the floor.
‘Til be—!” he exploded.
“George, watch your language
—and your blood pressure,” the
Mrs. chided softly.
“I was gonig to say,” George

it’s a story that tells at least
a little about good people, kind-
ly people, doing something good
in this good country of ours.
“I’m sick and tired of book
after book that tears our coun-
try and our people apart. Aren’t
there any writers in the whole
U. S. A. who see anything good
and decent about America and
Americans?”
“I read just the other day,”
Mrs. Rimer put in, “that a girl
in Germany, who was trying to
find out about America and
democracy, had said the same
thing in a letter to a news-
paper. She said she couldn’t

Last year nine tjmes as many
Americans suffered accidental
injuries as were wounded in the
three years of the Korean war;
one person was injured in a
motor vehicle accident every 23
seconds, one suffered occupa-
tional injury every 16 seconds,
and one was injured in a home
accident every seven seconds.
These are more than cold sta-
tistics. They represent human
suffering—life and death. And
they emphasize the continuing
critical need for blood, because
an average of one pint of blood
is given for every five hospital
admissions.
About 40 per cent of the blood
used by the nation’s hospitals
last year was supplied through
the American Red Cross, the re-
mainder coming from hospital
and other blood banks.

Stop Taking

Constipation
Avoid Intestinal Upset! Get Relief This
Gentle Vegetable Laxative Way!
For constipation, never take harsh drugs.
They cause brutal cramps and griping,
disrupt normal bowel action, make re-
peated doses seem needed.
When you are temporarily consti-
pated, get sure but gentle relief—without
salts, without harsh drugs. Take Dr.
Caldwell’s Senna Laxative contained in
Syrup Pepsin. The extract of Senna in
Dr. Caldwell’s is one of the finest natural
laxatives known to medicine.
Dr. Caldwell’s Senna Laxative tastes
good, gives gentle, comfortable, satis-
fying relief of temporary constipation
for every member of the family. Helps
you get “on schedule” without re-
peated doses. Even relieves stomach
sourness that constipation often brings.
Buy Dr. Caldwell’s. Money back if
not satisfied. Mail bottle to Box 280,

In addition to the use of
whole blood, medical practi-
tioners depend upon a number
of blood fractions or deriva-
tives. The most commonly used
and the publicized of these de-
rivatives is gamma globulin, us-
ed extensively in the treatment
of measles and infectious jaun-
dice, and more lately drawn up-
on to minimize the danger of
paralysis in poliomyelitis. An-
other valuable blood fraction is
serum albumin, the shock fight-
er, which also is 'used in the
treatment of certain kidney and
liver diseases.
During 1953 the Red Cross
collected blood for civilian use
at the rate of 148,000 pints a
month; it also procured blood
for defense purposes at the rate
of 171,000. pints a month. In-
cluded for defense were 20,000
pints per month collected by co-
operating community blood
banks whose contracts with the
Red Cross terminated August 31.
