On returning from a play in Har lem one evening, he wrote for his WHAT? YOU DON’T WANT IT? We Pay Cash For It! We pay cash for that old piece of furni ture and cooking utensils that you don’t want.

Not at all content with the so-called lib eralized version of trusteeship aims for dependent peoples adopted by a United Nations Council Committee, June 19th, the NAACP through its secretary, Walter V.ime said in its message to Mr. Stettinius: "We have read with interest press dispatches June 19 on revised draft of section of World Charter dealing with Inter national Trusteeship system plans for colonial people. May we strongly urge American delegation to insist, ven if other nations disagree, on rst. right of written or oral petition by dependent peoples to international organization for redress of inequities; second, authority of international or ganization to investigate and rectify j inequities, and third, insist that de- 1 pendent peoples be promised inde- ' pendence. American public opinion and that of many people in other countries will support such a stand by the American delegation which will | give hope to many peoples who now , are skeptical.” i ( '-——-- 1 —- ( _l —.

A Lacked Vitamins Although everyone knows that vitamins and minerals are essential to health, until 1941 about 40 per cent of all Americans ate a diet i which failed to provide all of these | nutrients they needed. What Ameri- j can dietaries lacked chiefly were some of the B-vitamins and the food | mineral iron, and these nutrients have been added under the wartime enrichment program. Moisture Needed Fertilizers are of no value to the plant unless the soil contains ample moisture and air. Fertilizers should not be applied to dry soil; so, dur ing periods of drouth, artificial watering should be practiced. On soils known to be highly acid or de ficient in calcium this condition can be corrected by applying agri cultural ground limestone or hy drated lime at a rate of 50 to 70 pounds per 1,000 square feet. The rate of application of lime should be based on soil tests, and lime should be applied only if analysis shows it is necessary. Released by U. S. War Department.

Cabbage Vitamins Air, water and heat are the thieves that rob cabbages of their vitamin C. Therefore, the less you cut, cook or have to store cabbage the more vitamin value you receive for your money. Young green cabbage fresh from the garden, washed and eaten raw is the ideal way to get the most flavor and food value that cabbage can p'-ve lire Lite Motorists’ habits affect tire life so markedly that it is possible to deduce the driving habits of a car’s operator if you can compare his average tire mileage with that of other drivers in the same area, it is said. Quick stops and starts, taking turns at high speed, running tires at subnormal inflation or at high speed, greatly reduce tread mileage. 4 REAL SHOE MAN j FONTENELLE SHOE REPAIR ’ CASH & CARRY CLEANER < i 1H0 North 24th St. \ —CARL CRIVERA— ^la-Sdter;1 Try Aiks-Seltzer for Headache, “Morning After" Aching Muscles, Acid Indigestion.
