MOST BEEF TO BE RATIOS
FREE Beginning Monday, August 14,
all beef will be ration free except
commercial, good and choice steaks
and roasts, WFA has announced.
STOVES ARE EASIER TO GET
Anyone who has no other means
of cooking is eligible for a stove
rationing certificate, under easier
rationing regulations announced by
OPA. A small increase in the
supply of cooking stoves makes
possible the eased regulations.
STORIES OF TWO HARVESTS
Many of the German prisoners
of war captured in Normandy have
volunteered to help with the har
vest in Great Britain, according to
a BBC broadest. Inexperienced
workers are paid six pence a day
and experienced workers, one shill
ing. The broadcast also reported
a story about the harvest in north
ern Italy, where the facts were
quite different. Italian patriots
drove the German occupation troops
from one village and captured the
entire harvest, which was all ready
for shipment to Germany.
RECLAIM QUARTER OF
MILLION MEN
Treatment of svphilis is respon
sible for the presence in the armed
forces of ri.'i.OOO men who other
wise would have been unfit for
service, and for making 140,000
others available for service unless
otherwise disqualified, the .U. S.
Public Health Service reports.
'Among the first 15 million Selective
Service registrants given blood
tests, evidence of syphilis was
found among 720,000. Selective
Service boards, State and , local
health departments, Army and
Navy cooperated in tracing, treat
ing1 and inducting infected registrants.
CAXAPA ALSO CUTS BUTTER
RATION
While OPA was cutting butter
rations in the United States by
increasing the point value of
creamery butter four points, as an
nounced last week, ( anada also
cut her rations. Just as in the U.
S.f Canadian butter stocks were
down. Canadian butter consump
tion has increased approximately
16 per cent while creamery butter
production has declined more than
5 per cent.

WAST CONSUMER PRICE
LISTS
Large-scale distribution of four
to five million consumer price
lists is needed in connection with
a campaign to "sell retailers on
their stake in price control," de
clared the Consumer Advisory
Committee to OPA in protesting
against substitution of a plan of
posting community ceiling price
lists in retail stores. Shoppers are
too hurried or too timid to ques
tion prices in the presence of other
shoppers who may be waiting, the
committee said. Informed shop
ping, the advisors believe, "is pos
sible when consumers have studied
their ceiling prices at home."
HELP YOUR MERCHANT
SAVE PAPER
If your merchant doesn't wrap
your packages as well as he used
to, just remember that the War
Production Board has asked him
to save paper by doing away with
all unnecessary wrapping and
using sparingly such gift wrap
pings as remain. Other conserva
tion measures your merchant has
been asked to follow: 1. avoid
double wrapping, such as paper
over a box; 2, avoid inner stuffing
or Inner wrapping unless necessary
for protection; 3. avoid decorative
effects that use extra paper; and
4. inform customers of the neces
sity for the simples gift wrappings.

Canton Man Home From
Long Stay Overseas
SSgt. Ralph D. Pharr of Can
ton, returned from service outside
the continental United States, now
is being processed through the
Army Air Forces Redistribution
Station No. 2 in Miami Beach,
where his next assignment will be
determined.
Sergeant Pharr, 27, a carpen
ter and shop foreman for 29 months
in the Southwest Pacific, is the son
of the W. A. Pharr's of Canton.
He entered service Aug. 19, 1941.
Good night, soldier. Sleep well.
The glow from the moon will guide
you into the Land of Forgetfulness
and God will lay His soothing hand
upon your tired heart. It has been
a Visrff Aav fur von and vou. too,
too young, so far away from home.
It is odd, isn't it, that all day
your thoughts have been back home
with the loved ones? Why, early
this morning you thought you
heard that old red rooster crow
right by your window the window
where the lilac bushes always
showered you with dew when you
leaned out to yell at "Ole Red".
But it wasn't "Ole Red"; it was
the whine of a sniper's bullet that
passed so close to your head that
you smelled its acid breath even
after you had slipped back into
the filth of the fox hole that had
been your abiding place so long,
it seemed, that you knew every
flnH of mud bv name.
TKon a little lnt.pr vou listened
to the whistle of the meadow lark
that always came to the edge of
the clearing down by the lower
pasture when you took the two
little Jerseys down for the day.
But the meadow lark disappeared
in a cloud ot smoKe mat rose uc
tween you and your buddie in the
next furrow. When the smone
cleared away, your duuuic uiu
grin back at you. He would never
come out ot that last ciouq i
smoke.
Then you heard your mother's
voice. Oh, that's what hurt the
most, wasn't it, soldier? She was
trying so hard to be brave and not
let you hear the tears that were
screaming in her throat. Her
voice was low but every word slip-
pod into your heart and stayed
there.
"It's only for a little while,
Son," she had said, "and whatever
happens I will know I gave every
thing I had on earth to my country.
And, remember, always, that I'll
be waiting for you."
The voice you heard was that oi
the officer down the hue and the
words came in a muffled command.
"Attention. Advance ten paces."
The next ten paces brought you
to the edge of a small creek and
you felt the gentle lapping of the
water against your tired, swollen
feet instead of the bare toes that
dangled in the brook over by Ann's
house. There were tiny fish in
that moving brook over by Ann's
house nnd thev alwavs came UP
with curious eves to know whv vou
kept so still when Ann was with
you. Even when the days slipped
into the years and Ann came back
from college, that little brook was
your trysting place and there was
never any other girl than Ann.
Home, home voices ; home
thoughts. Then- suddenly you fell
asleep. You never knew what hap
pened except that some one turned
off all the lights and everything
was so still, so sweet, so beautiful.
You were not in the slime and
mud of the foxhole but resting on
the softness of that old feather
bed that had belonged to your
grandmother. Your mother was
tenderly tucking you in and from
a far ways off you heard her gen
tle voice saying, "I'll be waiting
for you, Son," and Ann was hold
ing tight to your hand.
Good night, soldier. Sleep well.

On "certain days" of the month If you suffer
from the above distress start at once try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
relieve such symptoms. It's one of the most
famous and most effective medicines you can
buy for this purpose.
Pinkham's Compound is what doctors call a
uterine sedative because it has a soothing effect
on one of woman's most important organs.
Pinkham's Compound not only relieves monthly
pain but also accompanying nervous, restless,
tired feelings of this nature.
HELPS BUILD UP RESISTANCE
A fine thing about Lydia Pinkham's Compound
ft Viety
is that taken regularly it helps build up re
sistance against such symptoms. And there are
positively no opiates or habit forming drugs in
Pinkham's Compound. This great medicine is
made from nature's own beneficial roots and
herbs (plus vitamin B,). Here's a medicine
that helps nature and that's the kind to buy.
Thousands upon thousands of girls and
women have reported truly remarkable bene
fits. Pinkham's Compound certainly must
have very beneficial qualities to have endured
for almost a century and still be in such great
demand. Also a fine stomachic tonic! Follow
label directions. Worth trying!
