Backache
May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking ? its risk of exposure and infec
tion ? throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling ? feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.

and surface craft, until all hope
had vanished.
44It should be comforting for you
to know that your son's sacrifice
together with that of his shipmates,*
was the factor that made possible
the successful completion of this
most important mission. It is our
sincere opinion that the death of
al) hands on board was extremely
sudden and that there was no suf

"Your son's personal effects are |
and a popular member of our
squadron and always insisted on
doing more than his duty. He will
be sorely missed by all of us not
only for his ability and loyalty but
also for his ideal companionship.
"Your son's personal affects are
being carefully inventoried and will
be sent to you as soon as possibl?.
Due to the transportation difficul
ties, it may be some time before
these can reach you but everything
is being done to hasten the ship
ment. Any other requests that
your son made in his Confidential
Statement are being complied with
to the best of our ability.

you in this misfortune. If I can
be of any aid, please do not hesi

State College Hints
By Ruth Current, SUU Home
Demonitft lion ? Af til ? ? Gi
Stat? College.
A cold egg just out of the re
frigerator separates most easily
because the white is firm and the
yolk less likely to break, but the
white whips best after the egg has
warmed to "room temperature."
How long to whip is another
secret the cook needs to know.
Whites should be whipped stiff but
not dry. If they are to hold their
air bubbles while they are fold:d
into a cake mixture and then cook
ed, they must not be stretched too
thin by overheating. Whip until
the white will hold up in a soft
peak and looks glossy but not so
salt helps egg whites hold their
stiffness. On the other hand even
a small particle of fat in the whits
will preven tit wrom beating stiff.
Low or moderate heat is the
rule for cooking egg white dishes.
A little kneading usually pro
duces better biscuits than too much
or none at all. In biscuit-mixing
tests home economists used the
standard recipe: 3 cups sifted flour;
4 teaspoons backing powder; 1 tea
spoon salt; 4 tablespoons fat; 1 cup
of milk. The ingredients w:re
stirred together in the bowl until
ju^t moistened, then turned out on
the board. The first batch of dough
.was not kneaded at all but quickly
lulled out, cut and baked. The
biscuits came out flat, crusty, only
fjirly light. The second batch was
f^iven long strenuous kneading.
The biscuits were tough, flat and
close-grained. In the third test the
dough received only 18 strokes of
kneading. The result was light,
flaky, tender, tall biscuits.

Farm Questions
and Answers
? Question: -Does it. pay to ferti
lize pastures?
Answer: Tests made by the
North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion show that applications of
ground limestone and phosphate
will cause pastures to provide a
longer grazing period for the cows
and will increase the content of
vitamin^ A and calcium in the graz
ing crops. This is noticeable even
in a dry year.
Question: Which lespedezas are
best for growing in this State?
Answer: Of the ordinary kinds,
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at State College has found
that Kobe and Korean give best
returns and yields about the same
per acre. Common and Tennessee
76 made much less growth.
