In My UJartime
Budget . . .
"My TP&L Electric Service is ONE essential that has stayed down in
price. It's a bright spot in my wartime budget. When I consider the depend
able way Electricity serves so many of our home needs... from porch lights
to refrigeration ... I fully appreciate TP&L’s low' electric service rates ...
especially when I note the sharply rising cost of pretty nearly every other
item on my budget.”
Yes, the cost of TP&L Electric Service is still (is low as ever! Your elec-
tric service rates remain at pre-war low levels, even though our costs of pro-
viding your service have gone up just like your own living costs.
Careful and experienced management has made it possible to keep
your rates low and your service dependable.
When you buy War Bonds you are getting ready jor a
better tomorrow. Invest in War Bonds regularly . . .
they’ll help protect the America we lore today . . ,
they'd help win the war and preserve our cherished
American Way of Life.

STATEMENT
FROM A GERMAN PRISONER
OF WAR .
IT THEN ASKED which side he thought
ItV would win the War, a German
officer captured at Salerno made the
following statement:
“This is one war America will not
win, because America is too weak at
home. Your people are too far away
— their hearts are not in it. They will
tire —they do not have the unshake-
able determination to conquer that fills
every man and woman of the German
Reich!”
When you’re asked to buy more War
Bonds and to keep on buying moreWar

officer said.

Liquid Taken
From Gas With
No Loss, Texas
.1 An interesting article explain-
ing hdlw natural gas is “milked’’
of its liquid content for manu-
facture of high-octane gasoline,
synthetic rubber and other pro-
ducts appears in the current is-
sue of* the /MKT Empires’ Maga-
sine. The plant, largest of iu
kind in the world, is located
near Katy, Texas, 30 ‘miles west
of Houston, and is operated by
the Humble Oil & Refining
Company for a group of >10 o I
companies with interests in the
Katiy field, (largest known natu
ral gas reserve in the Gulf" area
The field covers 28i(M)0 acres and
supports 3,1 producing wells. The
plant covers 00 acres, with 05
additional acres devoted to loa 1
imr racks at Johnsue siding, also
on the Katy, with capacity tor
tank cars.
interesting to one with a
thought for the future is the
fact that the plant wastes none
of the gas. It draws 265 mil
lion cubic feet of natural gas t.
day from thej feild. From it,
4^000 barrels of 91-octone avia
tion gasoline is produced, as is
1,500 barrels of buianee, from
which both additional aviation
gasoline and synthetic rubber
are produced, and a like amount
of heavy naphiha for manufac-
ture of biotor fuel.
After extracting the liquid
content from the gas, 35 'million
feet a day is sold for commer-
cial use and the remaining 230
million cubic feet is returned to
the sands from whence it came.
This is accomplished by forcing
it back into the earth through
seven induction wells.
The plant now is being en-
larged, its facilities being dou-
bled.
WarningAgaint
Paralysis Given
By State Doctor
Austin, Texas. — “Infantile
paralysis can be expected to oc-
cur more frequently during the
next three months,’’ declared I>i
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Offi-
cer. “This disease is always
more frequent during the hot^
months. . ;
“The germ responsible tor m
fantile paralysis is so small tint'
it escapes detection even with
the most powerful microscopes
The first symptoms are usually
vomiting, headache, fever, stiff-
ness of the neck, pain in the
legs, irritability and drowsiness.
Complete recovery may follow
such an illness; but in more se-
vere cases, the germ penetrates
the nervous system, resulting in
paralysis of nerves controlling
one, or more, groups of muscles
Some remarkable recoveries hal e
been noted.
“Flies, or other insects, while
ur.der suspicion, have been dem-
onstrated tot play a .part in the
spread of this disease. Infection
spreads from person to person
with the droplets attending
coughing and sneezing. Children
and grown people that are
healthy may be carriers of the
germ. When present in epidemic
ioign, about one chilld in each
hundred is apt to suffer an at
tack.
Early recognition and diagno'
sis are essential. The use ol
immune serum may be a factor
in preventing paralysis. A per-
iod of complete rest is essential
for (muscles that are affeted.
(parents note any symptoms
illness in their children, the fam-
ily doctor should be consulted at
once.’’

Typhoid Fever
Warned Against
By State Doctor
'Austin, Ty>xas. — 0 Vacation
time is likely to be typhoid
fever time,” according to Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health 01-
Ifli'icer. “The summer months,
ot when swimming, camping, and
picnics are at their height, are
usually accompanied by the
year’s highest incidence of this
disease.’’
ku, pr. Cox strongly recommend-
his! ed immunization against ty-
,'phoid fever for persons of all
ages who want to enjoy warm
weather activities secure from
the threat of this disease- Pro-
tection is achieved by three in-
oculations, usually given one
week apart.
“Improved sanitation, it is
true, has gone far to lower the
incidence of typhoid fever in
recent years,” Dr. Cox said, “It
is known that every case de-
velops as a result of consuming
milk, food, or water contami-
nated with human excreta con-
taining the disease-prod uci I’..:
germs.
“In spite of these com-
munity safeguards, personal im-
munization should not he ne-
glected,” Dr. Cox warned.
“However careful .you and the
health authorities may try to
be, there is the possibility of in-1
! faction from some unsuspected
source, particularly during the
1 summer when people are often
(lured into remote places, away
from approved water supplies,
pasteurized milk, and safe raw-
foods. By all means, go to
your doctor for vaccination
against typhoid fever."

The age-old art of needlework gains netv significance as an aid to
win the war. By crocheting your own accessories, you can add new
color to a last year’s costume, and put the money thus saved Into
War Bonds. One of the season’s smartest sets is this crocheted white
cotton hat topped by a red feather, and scalloped pouch bag with a
shoulder strap. Directions for crocheting this or a similar hat and hag
set may be obtained at your local store. Back the Attack—Buy
