Control oi Food Habits Is Key to
Longer Life, Experiments Indicate
NEW YORK (INS)—Eat the
right kind of foods and you’ll
live longer according to experi-
ments recently conducted at Co-
lumbia University.
Revealing the nature of his
research in nutrition. Dr. Henry
C. Sherman, chemistry professor
at Columbia, told a gathering at
the New York Academy of
Science, that the life of a group
of rats had been prolonged by
control of the food habits.
“The increase in the average
length of adult life," he said
“was such as would correspond
to an increase in the human-ad-
ult life-expectation from the long
standing 70 years to 77 years.”
Raising the question whether
longer life was desirable, Dr.
Sherman concluded that it was.
In presenting the results of his
experiments, he made no men-
tion of specific foods which would
lengthen the life span, but recom-
mended the consumption of a
larger proportion of the “needed
nutritional calories." For him, he
explained such foods would be
the ones containing 10 or more
essential minerals, such as milk,
eves, green and yellow vege-
tables, and fruits.
Asked if tjhere were any cer-
tainty that the same results would
hold for men as for rats, Dr.
Sherman pointed out that the
chief point of known difference
between humans are more res-
ponsive to dietary improvements.
The public to get more value
from its diet need not spend
more money, the Columbia chemi-
cal expert pointed out.

TO REMOVE DRY PAINT
FROM CLOTHES
Both a white rep and a pongee
dress got bad paint spots on
them when mv home was be-
ing painted. The paint on both
dresses was hard before I noticed
it. I then tried turpentine, gas-
oline, and some cleaning prep-
arations without success. Then I
took hot apple vinegar and wash-
ed the paint spots and had per-
fect success.

Hundreds of homes are being
built and many others are being
repainted, remodeled, and made
more attractive in a general way.
In Mt. Pleasant there are some
of the most complete lumber
and supply houses to be found
in any town, anywhere. All are
anxious to give you estimates
on the type of work that you
want done; each has a contrac-
tor on hand who will assist you
in making your plans, and will
even furnish blue prints when-
ever necessary.
Since Clean-Up week begins
tomorrow these lumber and sup-
ply houses are featuring paint
at the lowest prices to be had
anywhere, and nothing adds so
much to the value of your home,
for such a small cost, as good
paint. As it always pays to
engage a skilled painter, at least
for the bigger painting jobs such
as outside house painting, walls,
ceilings, woodwork and the like,
these firms will be more than
glad to Tecommend one to you.
Another thing that is of the
greatest importance to you is the
easy way in which you can get
this work done. Never before
have the banks, building and loan
companies, and the Federal Hous-
ing Administration been so eager
to lend^noney for home repairs.
This money can be had on good
collateral and at very low rate
of interest, and it is to your
own advantage to take up one
of their offers.
Springtime is the time to paint
up and clean up. Figure out
what you want done and have
it done. It costs so little com-
pared to the big dividends that
it will pay you in return.

Queen Elizabeth, British’s fam-
ed “Virgin Queen,” caused a
sensation at her coronation by
complaining in strident voice
that the oil with which she
was anointed by the Archbishop
of Canterbury was “grease, and
smelled ill.”
At the coronation of William
and Marv, neither had any mon-
ey for the royal oblation to the
Church. The then Lord Danby
stepped forward, carefully coun-
ted out twenty gold pieces in
a loud voice, and placed the
money in the slaver, with a pity-
ing glance at the monarchs.
Richard I had his undershirt
ripped open by an enthusiastic
knight whost duty it was to open
the royal costume at the neck
for the anointing ceremony.
The coronation of Edward II
was so long drawn out that
many persons fainted of hunger.
This coronation was marked by
a scene between the Archbishop
of Canterbury and Lord Gaves-
ton, who for long had been en-
emies. As the archbishop was
about to crown the monarch,
the noble dashed forward, snatch-
ed the crown from the hands of
the cleric, and himself crowned
the king.
Rev. James de Wolf Perry,
junior son of the head of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of
the U. S. A., will be the first
American clergyman ever to take
part in a coronation service. He
will act as chaplain to the Arch-
bishop of York. The appoint-
ment was explained to be a
gesture of friendship between
the English and American Angel—
ican churches.
PAINT OVER GREASE-
SOAKED SPOTS
Sometimes hot grease is spilled
on an unfinished drain-board
and soaks into the wood. En-
amel or lasquer, especially, will
not dry over such grease spots.
Coat these spots with aluminum
paint or shellac first. Then en-
amel or lacquer over the alum-
inum or shellac. This remedy
will usually prove successful.
Another place the wall behind
the stove which is often grease-
stained. Of course every bit of
grease possible should be re-
moved before applying the alum-
inum paint or shellac.
Facts and Figures
The coronation of King Ed-
ward VII, the present king’s
grandfather, was almost ruin-
ed by the palsied Archbishop
of Canterbury dropping the crown
as he was about to place it on
the royal brow. Edward VII
seized it just in time as it was
about to drop on his head.
