NEW AND BETTER MATCHES
A match which resembles a piece
of chalk and is good for about 500
lights has been developed. Also,
there’s a new waterproof match
which is supposed to strike even
after it has been soaked in water
for more than eight hours.
WORLD SHORTAGES You
will have a better understanding
of what shortages to expect if you
keep in mind that the major world
shortages for the next several
months will be: SUGAR, MEATS,
FATS and OILS, TEXTILES,

PENICILLIN is a wonderful
thing, but doctors' caution that it
is not a cure-all, and won’t be, even
when it is generally availaMe in
cosmetics, ointments, special
chewing gum and lozenges. Use it,
they say, but don’t expect it to
solve all your health problems.
A NEW, SMALL TYPE OF TUR
KEY which promises to lay 200
eggs a year rather than the pres
ent 40-60 is assured for the future.
This means turkey eggs eventual
ly will be so plentiful you can have
theni for breakfast. Also on the
way is a tougher-shelled. chicken
egg which will stay fresh longer
and travel better.
