One-Third of Ger
man Navy Lost,
Allies Hear
Paris. ? Premier Paul Reyuaud
lold the French Senate Tuesday
that Germany has losti almost one
third of her navy in the past
week of fighting in Scandinavian
waters. j
> Specific figures, the Premier de-'
dared, are, officially, 30 per cent
\of the Nazi navy, including 20 j
-?'per cent of Germany's cruisers'
and 25 per cent of her destroyers.
Keynaud placed the Nazi sea
losses at 78,000 tons in the pastt!
week when, he said, the' Allied!
navies had lost "not a single J
pound." (He evidently referred
' to British and French merchant |
shipping.)
( 'lleer Roosevelt
This amount of military and
merchant German shipping, the
Premier declared, has been eitherj
sunk, scuttled or captured.
The senators stood and cheered
when Reynaud referred to Presi
dent Roosevelt's Pan-American !
speech Monday.
"No one asks whom Roosevelt
meant when he said he condemn
ed force," the Premier said.
He mentioned Roosevelt by
name and his statement brought
prolonged applause from all ben
ches. I
<"ites Figure*
"I cannot 'bring you news that
night hinder our operations,
which are still going on." Rey
uaud told the senate.
But he cited admiralty figures
fi>r his report of German naval i
losses and said that, in addition
to the Nazi cruisers and destroy
ers sunk. 15 par cent? of Ger-j
li.any's destroyers also had been j
damaged and several German
Submarines sunk.
He recalled to the senators j
that seven German destroyers'
were sunk at Narvik and that the,
r-:iltic Sea ? Germany's backyard
- has been mined.

This is the time of year for
vaccinations. especially against
typhoid fever, diphtheria and
small-pox. Since vaccination
against typhoid fever has been
emphasized by the Health De
partment this disease has been
reduced to a minimum, not a case
of typhoid fever was reported as
originating in Franklin County
last year. Vaccination against ty
phoid fever lasts only three years
if three vaccinations, one vaccina
tion protects for only one year.
If you have not been vaccinated
recently do so at- once. ?>
The last legislature passed a
law requiring all parents to have
their children vaccinated for
diphtheria before they are six
years of age. If this law is ob
served diphtheria will soon be an
obsolete disease.
Small-pox is a comparatively
rare disease in this State at pres
ent' but neglect of vaccination
against same may allow it to be
corhe epidemic.
The Health Department will be
glad to arrange clinics for vacci
nation against these diseases in
any community requesting same.
How the change from horse to
mechanical power has affected
farm demand is shown in the fact
that it took 82.000.000 acres to
feed workstock in 1015. while in
19S5 only 46. 000. 000 acres were
required. ,j)|i
Doctors Say
KEEP BOWELS OPEN
During Cold Epidemics
When colds are all around you,
don't let weak spots in your defense
arise due to constipation. "Keep
1 Regular," many physicians advise.
For constipation and its strength
sapping symptoms; headache, bil
iousness, sluggishness, dizziness,
sour stomach, use a laxative that
acts thoroughly but not harshly. An
ideal one is Dr. Hitchcock's All
Vegetable Laxative Powder, which
acts thoroughly, but usually with
gentleness when taken as directed.
It contains ?pleasant- tasting aro
matics, carminatives and what is
known by medical authorities as a
gastro-intestinal tonic-laxative. It
helps tone sluggish bowel muscles.
Or. Hitchcock's Laxative Powder
costs less than lc a dose." Get it at
any drug counter. 10c, 25c. (adv.)

Questions
Answered at State College
(JI KSTIO V : When is I hp lu st
time to plant cotton in the Pied
mont section?
ANSWER: The best planting
dates for this area are (10111 April
20 to 30 and up to May 5 in the
western portion and along the
northern edge of the Cotton Belt.
Cotton plantied early has a much
better chance under boll weevil
conditions and where seasonal
conditions warrant it is recom
mended that planting be made as,
ehrly as possible. However, grow
ers seldom profit by too early
planting as the seed will rot and
result in a poor stand.
yl'KSTIOX : Hon mjoii after
birtli is it sure t<> feed grain ami
lia) to dairy culvi-s?
ANSWER: Small amounts ot
both grain and hay should- be of
fered the calf at two weeks of
age or when the substitution of
skim-milk for whole milk begins.
At first the calf will eat ouly a
small handful of grain daily, but
this amount can be gradually in
creased until the animal is re
ceiving around three pounds a

yiKSTION : What i> the prop
er planting distance for sweet
potato plant*?
ANSWKR: The plants should |
he spaced 12 iuches apart in rows
from three to three and one-halt'
feet< apart. Close planting reduces
the number of "Jumbos" and also j
reduces the losses from stem rot. j
Where the crop is to be harvested
for the early market the planting 1
should be at least 18 inches in
rows three feet apart Planting 011 '
a high ridge is recommended and .
betiter stands are secured on j
freshly made ridges unless the
plants are watered.
