Dried Eggs Retain
Vitamins Despite Processing
Dried eggs survive the intense
heat of dehydration and long pe-
riods of storage at low tempera-
tures without appreciable loss of vi-
tamin A, one of the most unstable
food factors, a report to the Ameri-
can Chemical society shows.
Production of powdered eggs has
batome an enormously expanded
wartime industry, with tons of dried
eggs shipped abroad for the armed
services and for civilians.
The researches found little or no
deterioration of the vitamin during
the dehydration process, when the
eggs are mixed, homogenized, and
then sprayed through tiny rubies
into a dryer where hot air remove.,
the moisture and turns the eggs into
a powder.
Samples of dried eggs stored at
kperatures of 18 degrees below
k and five degrees above zero
tigrade, the usual storage and re-
jerator temperatures respective-
“retained most of their original
amin activity,” the report said.
Defrosting Adds to
Efficiency of Refrigerator
Don't put defrosting the refrigera-
tor off too long. Do it before the
frost on the evaporator becomes a
quarter of an inch thick. Thick frost
makes freezing take longer . . .
slows down the cooling of foods . . .
sends the temperature up.
When defrosting, be sure the drip
tray is empty and in place to catch
the melting frost. Remove freezer
trays, especially if there are ice
cubes in them—thir hastens defrost-
ing.
Never use anything sharp to chip
frost from the evaporator or to
loosen cube trays There is danger of
• scratching the finish and puncturing
tiie coils that hold the freezing fuid.
If the manufacturer recommends
it, defrosting can be speeded up by
removing the cube trays, filling
! them with hot but not boiling water,
i and return them to their shelves,
j With the control set at “off” or “de-
frost,” the frost will melt quickly.
■ The job is finished in a short time
and the refrigerator can be back in
! use.

Helps Oisiniect
JWhile ordinary whitewashing of
pm structures helps keep "them at-
active and clean, addition of a
_nall amount of formaldehyde to
ne whitewash solution arrests de-
cay, kills disease germs, controls of-
fensive odors and molds, and gen-
erally promotes sanitation, thereby
safeguarding the health of hun an
beings and livestock. Formaldehyde
alone, in dulute form, is an effec-
tive disinfectant, fungicide, germi-
cide. and deodorant, both inside and
outside the home. Where formalde-
hyde is normally scrubbed or
sprayed on stables, pig pens, chick-
en coops, poultry runs, pigeon lofts,
dog kennels, and other outhouses,
and where these structures arc fre-
quently whitewashed, one operation
can be eliminated by adding the
form ajpiehyde to the whitewash so-
lution. A 14-quart pail of whitewash
can be formulated as follows: 7
pounds flacked lime, G ounces glue,
t < lornialdehyde, and 2h gal-
lons (jj? v atcr.
Soil Fertility
In the rich farming area that
starts in New York and Pennsyl-
vania and runs west through Iowa
and the eastern fringes of the plains
country, fertility has declined con-
siderably. Studies in Ohio show that
lands cropped from 50 to 75 years
have lost 35 per cent of their origi-
nal fertility. Sixty years of cropping
has taken away a third of the fer-
tility of f .rm lands in Missouri. In
Kansas, 30 years of cropping has
cost 25 per cent.
In the five states of Illinois, Mis-
souri, Iowa, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, farmers have about doubled
their use of commercial fertilizer in
the last decade and increased their
use of lime sevenfold.
A good crop rotation stands as the
first means of halting soil-stealing,
it is sajd, and a strong legume is of
great importance. Applications of
lime are often required to overcome
deficiencies that interfere with grow-
ing legumes.
Our War With Japan
The Sixth War Loan marks a new turn in the war both on the
fighting and the home fronts. It points our tremendous war effort
definitely in the direction of the Pacific. During he first five war
loans Americans were primarily thinking in ?rms of beating
Hitler.
Now our government asks us for a loan of 14 billion more d fflars
of which five billion dollars must come from individuals. Why?
Haven't we nearly finished off our so-called Number 1 Enemy?
• Can Japan hold up our powerful war machine very lone? Your
son. brother and friend in his Pacific foxhole wouldn't raise such
questions because they are up against realities, not day dreams.
They kill or are killed. They pray every waking moment for a
skv-darkening cover of friendly planes. They thank America for
giving them the finest medicai care in the world when their ren-
dezvous with destiny in a Pacific jungle is at hand. They know
the war with the Japs is just beginning.
Here are some other Pacific realities so that you will under-
stand why there must be a Sixth War Loan and why it is absolutely
necessary that it be a success: „
The Allied Military Command has estimated that it will take
years, not months, to lick Japan.
1 Japan’s present army numbers about 4,000,00-0 with 2.000,000
i more men available and fit for military service v ’ haven't been
called up to date. Another 1,500.000, between f! - I 17 and
are not yet subject to the draft.
The Jap Air Force is growing.
In addition to millions of native workers, Japan ! p Ocntial
lave force of 400,000,000 conquered people. 50' < of Japan's labor
force is made up of women. Another 2507 boys and girls under
20, the balance men. The Jap workday is twelve to sixteen hours
with two days off a month. The Jap cannot leave his job. change
it, or strike! The highest daily wage equals about three Ameri-
can dollars—30 a to 75^ of which goes to taxes and compulsory,
• savings.
j The Jap, as our men in the Pacific know, will fight to the death.
As far as the Jap is concerned, the outer Empire—and the men
who defend it—are the expendables. The Jap will fight the Battle
from inside the inner Empire.
j The Jap believes that we shall weary of war too easily and
too eaijjy.
In the invasion of France, supply ships had an overnight run
to make. In the coming Battle of Japan, ships in the Pacific will
have long-reached round trips that often take five months to make,
ftl Th«£c realities are worth thinking about before you keep your-
home A*ont rendezvous with a Victory Volunteer. Perhaps you
Twill feel that the national personal Sixth War Loan objective—
('purchase of at least one extra $100 War Bond—is entirely too small
for you. The better we face the realities confronting our forces in
.the Pacific the quicker the whole bloody business will be over
and the sooner we will welcome home our fighting men. That’s
%n American reality to work for with all our dollars and our sweat .

Brow Forrowi: Lucy Monroe, the
“Star Spangled Soprano,” has prob-
ably opened more conventions with
her singing of the national anthem
than any other artist in America.
But she was also the most surprised
singer in America when, a lew
weeks ago, she opened a newspaper
and read Chat she was scheduled to
open the Democratic national con-
vention in the Chicago stadium. . . .
No one, including the Democrats,
had bothered to tell her about it. But
recently, Miss Monroe actually did
set off for the Chicago stadium, she
having been appointed, for the
fourth successive year, official solo-
ist to open the convention of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars. She had
been dub' notified, her ticket had
been bought, her hotel reservations
made and her place on the program
fixed but when she started she
wasn’t quite easy in her mind. “I’m
afraid,” she explained, “people will
think I’ve been left over from the
Den eratic convention.”

(’sing The Old Beaa: Shortly after
Lily Pons and her husband, Andre
Kostelanetz, returned from a USO
tour in North Africa and Italy,
Allan Jones and his wife, Irene
Hervey, entertained them at the
Rainbow lounge. . Naturally, there
were numerous tales of experiences
of various kinds, including the heat
in Teheran, and then Miss Pons re-
lated a Winston Churchill story
which wras new to all present. Dur-
ing an animated conversation with
England’s prime minister on the
Italian front, a British general noted
that Churchill’s glasses were peril-
ously near the tip of his nose.
“Your glasses, Mr. Prime Minis-
ter,” remarked the general, “are
almost on your mouth.”
“That's all right,” was the quick
response, "I want to see what I’m
talking about.”

matic perrosynovitis of the flexor

muscle at the metacarpsophalangeal
joint.” The C. O. probably con-
sulted a medico or a medical dic-
tionary since right away came back
this message: “Request turned

enough for a furlough.”

Onward & Upward: Pops intc
mind a story told by Evelyn Knight,
the songstress, as she was relaxing
a bit. A young ensign, in town for
a brief leave, was convoyed by a
devoted aunt to a luncheon at a tea
shoppe which includes palmistry
with the 75-cent special. The gypsy
lady took the aunt first and saw in
her hand the conventional dark man
and the journey across water. Then
she seized the reluctant hand of the
ensign and proceeded to peer into
his future. “My,” she breathed with
a glow of joy . on her face. “A very
good fortune indeed! Before the war
is over, you will be promoted to a
sergeant.”

be a female with a practically back-
less and frontless dress The other
evening, a party of eight, two sail-
ors and their feminine compan-
ions and two civilians and their
girls, tried to enter a Broadway es-
tablishment. The sailors, though
jacketless, were welcomed but the
cpatless civilians were barred. The
manager, however, didn’t wrant to
lose all that business so he solved
the problem by fitting out the civil-
ians will: the monkey jackets worn
by the waiters. The civilians didn’t
care much for that but the sailors
had a good time.

GULDEN TEXT—These thine* I rrrniwtf

14:17.
The American home faces many
enemies and powerful destructive in-
fluences in our day. At times emm
wonders whether this most impor-
tant of all institutions has mat so far
departed from what God fcrteadad M
to be that it has lost Its place and
power.
In such a time, it is important
that the Christian church keep be-
fore the people, and especially our
young people, the Scripture teach-
ing about tiie home. We need te
revive the old-fashioned home, with
its piety, purity and high purpose in
the plan of God. We begin right
when we note:
JL The Plan of Gad for the Mens*
(Matt. 19:4-6).
When Jesus eras challenged bf
the Pharisees, who claimed that a
man had a right to divorce Us wife.
He appealed to Scripture. That ia
the sure foundation far right think-
ing
He referred them to the story of
the creation of man and woman la
Genesis 2:18-14 There it is re-
vealed that in all the animal king
dom there was no creature suited
for fellowship with man. The amm
who finds full satisfaction ia the
company of a cat, a dog, or hone,
is just not up to normal.
Adam must have a “help meet**'
for him, that is, one suited fay per-
sonality and gifts to be Us crumpms-
k.-i. God made woman for flat
purpose and gave her to mam. Thus
He established the home and or-
dained that all through man's his-
tory there should be the coming
together at one man and one woman
in that irdisailiMi • union ef lam
(v. 6) whicu malms the home.
We have forgotten God's law, or
have deliberately violated it, and
have broken down the home in An
very foundation. We had better be-
gin to think seriously about the di-
vorce problem if we are not to pa
the way of other nations.
n. Ihe Presence st Christ in *n
Home (Luke 10:38-42).
Christ repeatedly honored the
home by His blessed presence. He
came-to the wedding feast at Cana
of Galilee, and there He performed
His first miracle (John 2). He should
be the unseen guest at every Chris-
tian marriage. Invite Him, expect
Him, honor Him, and He will bless
you.
One home in particular was a
place of rest and refuge for our
Lord when He was here an earth, '
that of His friends, Lazarus, Martha
and Mary,' in Bethany. He was a
welcome guest, always at home in
that household. Shah we do less in
our households? We see mottoes in
homes, “Christ is the unseen guest
in this home.” How appropriate!
But note that His presence in the
home gives Him opportunity to
teach and to direct the life of the
home. Mary and Martha had both
been busy about the work of the
household, but Mary knew when it
was time to stop being busy and sit
at Jesus’ feet to learn and to be
blessed by His presence. She not
only worked, but “alsa sat at tha
Lord's feet" (v. 39). Martha went
right on working until she was dis-
tracted, and came to censure her
sister.
The answer of Jesus is signifi-
cant. He did not rebuke Martha,
He only told her to get her life into
balance. There must be work In a
home, but those who make home
only a workshop miss its greatest
blessing. Home should be a place at
sweet fellowship between the mem-
bers of the family, and especially
between them and the Lord.
III. The Power of Faith in the
Home (H Tim. 1:3-6).
Family religion really pays. The
home with the family altar, where
God’s Word is read as a natural and
proper part of daily living, where
prayer is made, and God’s good-
ness is remembered in thanksgiving
and praise, that home will send
forth children who know the grace
of God, and are prepared to heed
His call for service.
Tirfiothy had a grandmother and
a mother lone wonders where papa
and grandpa were) with unfeigned
faith, what a precious heritage!
That was far more valuable thafr
silver or gold, or farms or corner
lots. What heritage arc you giving ►
your children?
Note the reference to Timpthv's
work as a minister of God in verse fc.
It was by the Holy Spirit’s call, and
was recognized by the church in
ordination, the “laying on of hands.”
But it is evidently closely connected
with that which is spoken of in the
ver-e before—the faith of his home.
There Is power in that faith to send
a boy forth to valiant service lor
God and to keep him faithful in the
day of trial. Gave your boy and
girl something really worthwhile to
remember when they think of home.
Put the poster of faith in the home
back of the if lives in public far God.
