Claims Complete Proteins Promote Maximum Health With food shortages impending, the quality and quantity of pro teins in the human diet is assum ing greatly increased importance. This subject was recently empha sized by Dr. Morris Fishbein, ed itor of the Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association. He says1 many people think only in terms j of vitamin deficiency in connec I tion with nutrition. However, when the facts be come known regarding conditions now prevailing in Europe, Dr. Fishbein feels certain it will be found that protein starvation is far more serious than vitamin de ficiency because it produces a breakdown of human tissues. This in turn opens the way to disease to a far g. eater extent than is ordinarily caused by vitamin de ficiency. “In this connection,” states Mil ton Hult, president of the Na tional Dairy Council, “the United States is in a fortunate position, in that the amount of protein in the American diet coming from milk and its products has greatly increased in tne past few decades. Actually, milk, cheese and ice cream furnish 40 percent more protein for human consumption than was true in this country 30 years ago. Since the proteins of milk are of very highest quality they are of special importance during the emergency period in suplementing the less complete ones in many other foods. To supply those needs it is antici pated by the U. S. Department of Agricuture that more fluid milk Will Americans Be More Tender With Their Money Than Lives of Their Sons — Washington, D. C.—A blunt challenge—whether Amer icans will be more tender with their money than with the lives of their sons—confronts U. S. citizens as they prepare to meet the appeal of the government to put an additional 13 billion dollars into the fight in the next three weeks. American dollars which run on to<* some cozy shelter to hide while American boys are dying to defend our cities and towns from destruc tion and invasion will face a rising demand from all classes of patriotic citizens to come out and fight. Millions of workers who now are buying War Bonds regularly out of current income must lend extra money to their government during the Second War Loan campaign (which started April 12). In recognition of the spirit of sac rifice which is sweeping over the land as our troops swing into of fensive action in Africa and await the signal for a landing in Europe, the Treasury Department is offering a series of government bonds to fit every pocketbook. No matter whether Americans buy the familiar Series E Bonds or 2)6 per cent bonds or 2 per cent bonds or tax certificates, they will be doing their part to make the Second War Loan drive a success. Consumer Spending Too High. Consumer spending in 1942 was much too high to meet the war situa tion of 1943. Last year more than 1 82 billion dollars of our soaring na tional income went to feed the de sires of Americans for clothes, rec reation, foods and luxuries. As these items grow scarcer, more of our in come must be diverted from such expenses into government bonds. During 1942 millions of our fathers, sons, relatives and friends were in training here and abroad. Some were already in action. Casualties were beginning to bite into every ! community. War Bonds became a vital link between the home and i fighting fronts. Today sacrifice has become a way of life for America’s fighting men. 1 Civilian spending on the 1942 scale must go out the window if the home ■ folks are to attempt to match the [ heroism of our boys at the front. Not every American can take his i place in a bomber or in a foxhole or on a fighting ship but he can fire away at the enemy by lending money to the government. will be available this year for consumption as such than ever before and that fluid milk and cream consumption will reach a new high of 408 pounds per per son for the year 1943.” Mrs. Leah Clouse Passed Away Tuesday Night -■ M —.

Blood Test Soon Essential To Get Marriage License Senator Martin Mischke’s two anti-syphilis bills, L. B. 40 and 41, were signed a few days ago by Governor Griswold. Neither of the two bills carries the emerg ency clause and do not become effective until ninety days after the legislature adjourns. Mischke’s L. B. 40 relates to pre-marital blood examinations and provides that no person shall be issued a marriage license un til a physician’s statement is pre sented showing that he or she are not infected with syphilis. The applicant for a marriage license must have a blood sample, taken by a physician, submitted to a la boratory, approved by the health department for examination, and pay the costs. The other bill provides for tak ing of a sample of blood of preg nant women for a standard test for syphilis. Results of such tests are to be filed with the depart ment of health, which is to pay the costs.

I “Sure been a great year for crops, Judge best we’ve had in quite a spell.” “ That’s true, Henry... all over thecountry. As a matter of fact, there’s been quite a surplus supply of grain according to some figures I saw in one of your farm papers the other day. But that surplus is being used to mighty good advantage and is making the contribution of you farmers to the war effort more important than ever. Here’s just one example of what I mean. The beverage distilling industry alone will use 100,000,000 bushels of this surplus to make alcohol seriously needed by the gov ernment for gunpowder, synthetic rubber, chemicals and medical supplies. “So, keep it growin’ Henry... you’re doing a great job.’’ Conference of Alcoholic Beverage Industries, Im
