(International) of number one importance in pre venting or controlling such insects as the Mediterranean flour moth, flour beetles, the savv-tiothed grain beetle, granary and rice \fceevils,. and the Indian meal moth, says James T. Conner, Jr., entomologist for the Stare College Extension Service. He recommends that all cereals, crumbs, nut meatfc, and other food fragments should be scrubbed from the cupboard and pantry with a stiff brush and soapy water at frequent intervals. All food products, such as ctreal and flour, should toe stored in tight containers, if they are to be held for a period of time. Food known to have been infested with insects should be removed from pantries, bins, and cupboards and destroyed, Conner says, and after all food has been removed, surfaces should be sprayed with 5 per cent DDT in deodorized kerosene. If food is to come in direct contact with sprayed surfaces, wait several days then thoroughly scrub surface with soapy water before replacing food products.

MkuMsat Prosperity Pattern Switzerland is a small country without seacoast, without natural resources, without enough fields to produce her necessary food. The pon-homogeneaus people?one part Speaking German, another French, tnd a third, Italian?add to her do mestic difficulties. f Under these condition*, Switzer land should naturally be expected to be one of the ver^ poorest nations In Europe. On the contrary, however, Switzerland had before the war, and bas yet, the highest per capita wealth in Europe. This little coun ter pays the bee\ wages known in itiis the towi iiv*s ^g ^conditions ^for her workers. Why? How? A Way and A Will Why should a people with the least possibilities come ou\ with the high est average wealth, highest wages, &nd best living conditions? Simply because Switzerland has the right formula for prosperity, plus the will to make the formula work. Switzer land is proof to the world that any nation can have prosperity. There are just three requirements. 1. Switzerland has a real republic, through which the citizens reserve to thbmselves real individual free dom. Nearly all laws touching the lives of the people are made locally tn districts called "cantons," cor responding roughly to our states. Even the amount of income tax to be paid by the people of each canton Is decided locally. Political respon sibility is a reality. And real free dom of individual opportunity ex ists. Ownership Pays Out 2. Switzerland has the rii;ht type of economy. All industry is private ly owned and operated. Individual ownership of property is encouraged and protected. A high percentage of people own their own homes and their farms. Thrift is encouraged both tha local and national gov amments. 3. Switzerland has equal respon sibility placed by law upon both labor and capital. Industrial peace Is encouraged, both by local and national government. Industrial co operation prevails throughout the nation. Switzerland is living proof that these three conditions will bring prosperity to any country, regard less of the quantity of its natural resources. The Swiss do not put the eye of aggression on their neigh bors, in a search for "living room.' Content with their own mountains they have found that the resources of individual freedom, sane econ ?my, and hard work can give them all they want. These moral re sources the Swiss can call their own. Retain the Formula France, adjoining, with plenty of natural resources and abundant fer tile fields, should now be the most prosperous country in Europe. In stead she is one of the poorest. Her socialistic form of government, her nationalization of industry, and her Industrial chaos have made prosper ity impossible, despite natural re sources. France "hasn't the light formula. America, for 150 years, has had the riii^t formula. In our own land we have achieved the highest wages, and the best general living stand ards ever knownT-jye have had the natural resources. But friore impor tant, we have treasured these same moral resources that have made the Swiss great. We have had freedom of opportunity. We have made the formula work. Shall we keep the formula and keep prosperity, ?r de sert the formula and revert to me diocrity for everybody? ir.g the sugar supply will make it possible to declare another ten pound stamp goo^?July 1," Simpson said. He emphasized, however, that these ten-pound stamps are not z "bonus" and that sugar must stil be used carefully.
