]n one horror that the civilian world has thus far
and one possibility that most of us have even
thinking about.
it is a possibility that must be faced. It is reported that
troops have been gassed by the Japs, that the Nans already
lladelplloyed poison gas in the Crimea and are preparing its increas-
llaiMjty • last, desperate, below-the-belt blow against the Russians.
Lshiu.dhen this happens, Churchill has promised retaliation. World-

SQ America, trained and alert to meet the terror of enemy

klyi weapon of indiscriminate attack. Yet the thought of a gas

Itetur Hildebrand speaks with authority, for he was a lieutenant

WRITES AGAIN
OF OLDEN TIMES
May «, 1942.
Hopkins County Echo: On the
6th day of May, 34 years ago to-
day, in the year of our Lord
1908, the little village of Birth-
right was blown away by a torna-
do. We had a dry winter that
year and it began raining in tiie
early spring and rained until
June. The writer planted cotton-
seed three times and the last
pjanting was in the first, part of
June. I had 20 acres and gather-
ed three hales that fall. I have
since planted in June a few times
and made better than that, so I
guess there’s plenty time yet.
That was also the year we had
the money panie s,nd the last one,
as Congress under the leadership
of Woodrow Wilson passed and
set up the Federal Reserve Act to
end panics. If money was as plen-
tiful now as rats, 1 would buy a
big bomber airplane, load it with
rats, hit a bee-line for Tokyo and
let them have ’em, as they seem to
be kinfolks, anyway.

thing on this writer about rat

In the cold gray of a Norwegian dawn a lone figure‘trudges along and by the door of Oslo's
central police station has been painted a black cross, symbol of an unconquerable people. Night btfore
all Norwegians stayed home, leaving streets and public buildings empty as an ominous portent for the
Nazi usurpers.

complete rest is an essential treat-

Action within 10 minutes will
probably prevent most symptoms

"If the house doesn't happen to

Dr. Hildebrand also draux on
his knowledge of gas warfare to
advance probable reasons why

mi the present war. Gas doesn't
fit in with “blitzkrieg" tactics. An

Lettuce may he scon in many
gardens in Hopkins County now,
but perhaps its nutritional vnluu
i» frequently overlooked and is
not served as often as It should
tie. Green lettuce ia a good
source of carotene, which the
body can change into Vitamin A.
It contains some vitamin Bl, ribo-
flavin and vitamin C and is also
a good source of iron and calcium.
The thinner and greener the leaf,
the better a source of iron and
carotene, in * the lettuce. The
bleached lettuce contributes most
of these same food values hut
rates some lower than green let-
tuce as a source of vitamins and
minerals mentioned.
Lettuce is a perfect vegetable
for sulud and usually there is
some vegetable that will go with
it. Try this recipe for old-fash-
ioned wilted lettuce:
