Dr. Chases Nerve Food CERTRAINS VITAMIN B, "WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Corn Borer More than 40,000 wasps and flies, released by the Department of Agriculture are battling in Illi- nois cornfields against the dread- ed European corn borers attacking the crop, Another 5,000 insects-will - be turned loose in a few days. The wasps and flies, gatlicred in New Jerscy, are natural enemies of the borer and we being' re- leased in an effort to check the borer increase which 'already has reached alarming proportions, The winged fighters turn the tables on the borers by doing a little boring themselves. The wasps penctrate the body of the borer an lay eggs in it. The fly deposits eggs on the outside of-the borer. Both parasites crawl into the tun- nel made by the borer in the corn stalk to reach their prey. The eggs of the wasps and flies live on the body of the borer and continue to feast on it even when the borer enters the pupa stage. . Then, instead of a new generation of borers emerging from the pupa, out comes a new batch of wasps and flies to continue their work. Two different types of wasps are being used and a fly which resembles the common house fly. These parasites have been used with moderate success in the East. Towa also is using them this y¢ar as borers are show- ing up. in appreciable numbers for the first time in Iowa corn fields, small British Planes Drop Surgeons The Royal Army Medical Corps "has parachute siirgical feams that have already been in action" with great success, ' The Lancet describes one unit that established itself in a farm building, which had been seized *by paratroops. It ran the ibuilding 'as a hospital for two days, while a bat- tle raged around it. During that period the unit performed 35 oper- ations. Thirty-one of the patients "Tater reached base hospitals in good condition, Each team consists of six men, all of whom have been trained' to be able to do everyone else's job in the event of casualtics among the team during landing. Equipment is designed especial- ly for lightnéss, compactness and portability, so that the "unit can move swiftly through rough coun- try, possibly under fire. The unit carries a light operating table with tressels, all presumably. collapsible. They also "drop with anaesthetics, plaster, dressings, fuel, plasma, pri- mus stGves.

WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events An Outline Of Lord Vansittart's Twelve Points To Win The Peace The "Win the Peace" Movement, of which Lord Vansittart has ac- cepted the presidency, has planned a number of meetings to bring to the notice of the public the 12-point "peace charter", says the = Man- chéster Guardian, 1. The unconditional surrender of Germany and of the other Axis and their satellite Powers. 2. The effective occupation of Germany by an Allied Afmy and Air Force and the establishment of an inter-Allied Council of Control, to be maintained until it is decided by the Governments concerned to be no longer necessary. 8. The arrest and trial of per- sons believed guilty of war crimes in the countries where they wére committed. Neutral countries to be requested not to give sanctuary to any war criminals, 4° The complete demobilization and disarmament of all German armed forces, including the surren- der of the German fleet and Luft- waffe; the same procedure to be applied to the other Axis Powers. 5.

If it is stained or faded give it two coats of high grade floor paint, first washing with strong soda water to remove the grease and let it dry thoroughly, A similar paint method can be used on grass and fibre rugs, washing with soapsuds and a very little ammonia instead of soda. Stretch the rug and tack it firmly to the floor before painting. Q. How long should tea be left in the water? A. The strength of tea is not re- gulated by the time the water and leaves stand for strengthening, but by the amount of leaves used. The leaves will give up all flavor in about three minutes, Q. How can I remove paper that has stuck to a polished wood sur- face? : A. Pour a few drops of sweet oil on the paper and then rib, with a soft cloth." Finish with a good fur- niture polish, Q. How should sweaters be laundered to prevent stiffness? A.

"Whom are you going to be- lieve," he asked -- "those who know the truth about Germany or those who don't? If this country for the third time refuses to face the facts you will have a third Ger- man war-upon you in 10 years."

PRECORI CHECKED Sepia: medicated, Tiowid Gh 'Safety First' Good Slogan For Farm Too Many Farm Accidents, Says Collingwood Enterprise- 3 ews The cold truth is that the ratio of preventable accidents in agricul- "ture is higher than in any. other in- dustry. Many hundreds of farmers, members of their families and workers on farms are killed and ~ many thousands injured every year in Canada as the *result of acci- dents, most of which could have been prevented, With the farm labor "shortage just now so acute and when all our production of food is" §6+ essential to the war effort, the accident toll is particularly serious. A survey has disclosed that ma- chinery is the chief source of farm work accidents; that live stock runs a close second and that falls are in third place. The wise farmer is he who learning the cause of accidents on his farm takes steps to eliminate such causes and all possible hazards. For example, the fact that loose clothing causes one- ' third of all farm accidents 'nvolving machinery should make anyone plague, i And the ever-present threat of fire, which annually destroys mil- lions of dollars' worth of rural pro- perty ought to be enough for-a farmer to justify devoting at east a part of one morning per month to looking round the farm for fire hazards, too, Prevention of accidents means avoiding making an acute farm la- bor shortage more acute and also means an even bigger contribution to food production.
