The NESCO six-quart model (above) holds
enough meat and vegetables for a family of four.
Foods are cooked in their own nourishing juices,
with all their delicate flavor and health-giving
vitamins preserved. Patented radio-dial heat con-
trol assures perfect results without constant "pot-
watching.” Simple to operate and as easy to
clean as a china plate, the NESCO brings the
advantages of electric cookery at a price anyone
can afford to pay.

Why swelter over a hot stove these torrid
days? You can cook an entire meal on a
NESCO Electric Cooker with no more dis-
comfort than you would experience in pre-
paring sandwiches and a pitcher of lemon-
ade. The NESCO cooks with built-in heat
that cannot escape to raise room tempera-
tures. It may be used on a cool side porch or
anywhere there is an electrical outlet or light
socket. Try a NESCO Cooker in your own
home and experience the joys of this cool,
carefree method of cooking,
tion involves no obligation.

The world’s largest aerial camera

weighs 275 pounds, has 10 lenses
mounted in two sets of five and takes
10 negatives simultaneously

inches in size—sufficient to
graph a ground area of 760

over the big bend of the Rio Grande,

Aided by Herbert T. Strong, New
York color expert, Dr. William Beebe

that the “black light” would make a
piece of zinc ore (willemite) glow

water. Dr. Beebe and Strong agreed
that-probably fish living half a mile

Her heart action stopped while she

Suprarenals
Dr. Emanuel M. Josephson of New
York ascribes glaucoma, or harden-
ing of the eyeballs, to a derangement
of the adrenal glands and reports al-
most immediate improvement after
intramuscular injection of cortin,
one of two hormones secreted by the
glands above the kidneys. Curiously,
the same treatment was found to
ameliorate nearsightedness in chil-
dren.
Cortin controls the amount of salt
and water in the blood. Salt and
water, seeping into the eye cavity,
causes the glaucomatous condition by
pressing against the retina, even-
tually destroying the optic nerve.
The other product of the supra-
renals, adrenalin, draws sugar into
the blood, makes it available for
quick bodily energy. Fear, excite-
ment and various other’ stimuli cause
the secretion of adrenalin. Notable
stimulus: A cigaret. But Dr. William
James McCormick of Toronto, who
does not like tobacco, cites other
stimuli: Morphine, carbon monoxide,
bichloride of mercury, cancer, tuber-
culosis, diphtheria, typhoid fever—
-to mention only a grim few. He
points out that three cigarets soaked
in water will steep out enough dead-
ly nicotine to kill a man: admits only
by inference that the habit of drink-
ing nicotine tea is unlikely to prove
popular.
WASHINGTON. — Bestirring it-
self after months of comparative
quietude, ‘the Republican National
Committee today promised a vig-
orous anti-New Deal offensive in an
effort to oust President Roosevelt
and the Democratic party from pow-
er in 1936.
A resurgence of activity in recent
days was described at committee
headquarters as a harbinger of
greater efforts to come which will
spread throughout the Nation.
In other words, the 1936 campaign
is on.
“The time has come for opening
the campaign,” a spokesman at Re-
publican headquarters said. “Presi-
dent Roosevelt is an avowed candi-
date for renomination and re-elec-
tion. He is going to make a tour as
soon as Congress adjourns. There is
less than a year before the conven-
tions. It is time to get busy.”
Henry P. Fletcher, Republican Na-
tional chairman, gave impetus to the
movement with a radio address as-
serting that the New Deal is seeking
to “pervert or subvert the Constitu-
tion.”
Other speeches are to follow, their
number depending on finances. The
committee has engaged a “radio
man” and has enlarged its headquar-
ters. A campaign for contributions
will be made.
In addition, it has started issuing
to Republican and independent news-
papers a weekly collection of what is
called “facts and opinions” consist-
ing of special articles and newspaper’
editorials assailing the New Deal.
“From now on,” Chairman Fletch-
er said in the latest issue, “Mr.
Roosevelt must be adjudged as a can-
didate and his record as properly
open for the minutest inspection.”
As for the Democratic reaction to
all this, James A. Farley, chairman
of the national committee, agreed in
San Francisco that the “1936 cam-
paign has already begun” and added:
“I have no more doubt of the result
of the 1936 election than I had be-
fore the 1932 election. ... I doubt
if even the most sanguine among our
assailants think that Republican suc-
cess is possible in 1936.”

It is certainly worth your while to give your
printing your serious and undivided attention
until it is planned and executed to represent
you fairly.
Your printing must be considered as a force in
your selling plans if you are to get the best re-
sults from it. No matter if it is just letterheads,
or envelopes, or shipping tags, these things rep-
resent YOU and YOUR BUSINESS to someone,
perhaps, who has never seen you; if they are
cheap, unattractive, flimsy, your prospect or
customer will get the same sort of impression of
you from them.
WASHINGTON.—Rail Co-ordina-
tor Joseph B. Eastman was under-
stood today to have recommended
careful study of the revolutionary
“postage stamp” railroad fare plan.
' ~Tlie plan proposes complete re-
vision of rail passenger fare sched-
ules to put them on a flat rate basis
similar to that used by the Post Of-
fice Department for letter mail.
Just as you send a letter to any
place in the United States for 3c, so,
according to the proposed system,
you could ride for any distance in
one direction on a single railroad sys-
tem for $1.
The rate would be the same wheth- _
er the ride was 100 or 500 miles long. (Mich.) Daily News.

. Keeping cool during the hot days
of summer is the season’s greatest
problem, but if .you wish to solve it,
do not take cold shower-baths. If
you do, you will be all the hotter.
Although a cold shower makes you
feel refreshed and cooler for the time
being, it actually makes you hotter
because, as physicians explain, your
body is challenged to produce heat,
in the same way that an icy winter
wind challenges it to produce more
heat.
Your body has a sort of thermos-
tatic control of temperature, an auto-
matic cooling system, which func-
tions through the sweat glands. In
the process of evaporation, water ab-
sorbs heat. Thus perspiration acts to
cool your body. You can make the
natural cooling process more effec-
tive by keeping the air in circulation.
The cooling effects of a warm bath
are heightened by letting the water
on the skin evaporate instead of wip-
ing it off with a towel, which calls
for more exertion with a correspond-
ing increase of bodily heat.
Your body’s cooling system oper-
ates to maintain a bodily tempera-
ture at normal, which is 98.6 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Because of this,
food or drink, or the water in which
you bathe, should be near that tem-
perature, since extremes either of
heat or cold, set that regulatory
mechanism working. The fundamen-
tal hot weather rule is to work with
this rule and not against it.
Your body is coolest in the morn-
ing before you arise. Then, the ef-
fects of food and physical activity
are at low ebb. If you have to do
heavy physical work, it should be per-
formed in the cool of the morning.
In the problem of keeping cool in
hot weather food also enters into the
question of temperature, just as
bathing does. Iced foods and drinks
produce more bodily heat than warm
ones do, because for the time being
they stop perspiration and so keep
the heat in the body.
What is the coolest clothing?
Well, skirts are cooler than trousers.
Panama hats are cooler’ than stiff
straws or felts and cotton and linen
are cooler materials than silk.

GREENVILLE.—Final plans for
this year’s Hunt County fair were
rapidly taking form today, accord-
ing to President C. A.' Duck, of the
Hunt County Fair Association, who
stated that the dates for this year’s
exposition would be Sept. 9 to 14,
inclusive.
A big feature of this year’s expo-
sition will be a Jersey show in the
live stock department. A large num-
ber of entries are expected in this
department. Numerous improve-
ments are being made about the
grounds and this year’s exposition
promises to far surpass all previous
shows.
English aviation engineers have
produced an airplane engine that is
cooled with steam instead of water,
which sometimes freezes at high al-
titudes.
Alexander Bogar of Minneapolis

slavia 20 years ago. He served five
years for the deed, then tried but

AUSTIN.—If certain practices in
the Texas fee system continue Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Harry L. Hop-
kins will not have to worry over the
relief load in this State, because wit-
ness fees, paid out of the State’s gen-
eral revenue fund, will do the job.
This may sound like sarcasm, but it
isn’t meant as such, for discoveries
made by Senator Wilbourne Collie,
Eastland, by digging into records,
show astounding abuses of the sys-
tem, and Collie plans to demand cor-
rections when the next Legislature
meets.
Here is a sample. In one South
Texas county there were four cases
in which forgery was charged. Usual-
ly these are minor cases, calling for
few witnesses. Nevertheless there
were 344 summoned to testify and
who were paid the customary fees.
Of this number 1,221 in one case
only resided within the county, while
in another 170 county residents were
summoned. Fifty-three living in oth-
er counties were subpoenaed. The
State was forced to pay a total of
$3,070 to witnesses alone, which was
more than the forgeries and which
doesn’t include officers’ fees.
When witnesses are called
other counties the State pays their
transportation costs at four cents a
mile, and in addition $2 a day, and
Collie found one case in a Central
Texas county where witnesses to the
number of 90 were summoned from
Potter, El Paso, Bowie and Nueces
Counties, the four corners of Texas.
One case in a North Texas county
had to have 92 outside witnesses, but
only 25 from within the county, while
in an East Texas case 57 were called
from other counties and 35 from
within. In an East Texas county at
one term of court two out-of-county
residents drew transportation costs
for five trips. In another North Tex-
as county there were 105 witnesses
from over the State but only 16 from
the county where trial took place.
Under the law the court is sup-
posed to allow but three to testify as
to a defendant’s character, but if
scores of others are summoned for
the same purpose they are paid
whether they testify or not. Both the
State and defense counsel are to
blame for the condition, Collie re-
ports, and he declared the practice is
is state-wide. The above cases were
selected at random from a long list of
figures.
“There is another custom,” the
Senator said, “where a counsel will
arrange for some one in his home
town to be subpoenaed at another
town a long distance away. His
friend will go to the other town, find
the subpoenae waiting for him, and
thus have the State pay for his ex-
penses for a nice trip or vacation.
“It is also surprising how many
witnesses’ names are the same as
that of the defendant. Only a few
of the large number testify, but they
are paid just the same. The amount
of money the State loses under the
system is enormous.”

Dr. Louis Sternberg of Beth Israel
Hospital, New York, gave pollen
treatments to 53 patients who re-
ported having both hay fever in sum-
mer and colds in winter. Thirty-six
reported the winter colds disap-
peared. Seventeen who did not gain
relief from winter colds also got lit-
tle benefits from the pollen injec-
tions for hay fever.
Prof. H. Ter Meulin of Delft, the
Netherlands, has reported to the
Royal Dutch Academy that he found
much richer supplies of molybdenum,
the metal which makes steel harder,
in sound human teeth than in de-
cayed ones. He also found that
plantations with most molybdenum
in their soils produced better plants;
that in the leaves of many kinds of
trees and plants the metal increased
until autumn, when the leaves
started to die.
Research laboratories of the Gen-
eral Electric Company
structed a very delicate
measuring size changes; with it,
interesting fact has been developed:
Metals do not expand or contract
uniformly with a uniform rise or fall
in temperature. The changes take
place in spurts. At some points in
the heating range certain metals will
stop expanding for a short period and
suddenly resume at a much more
rapid rate. This also is true of the
contracting process.
