You Eat Plain Steak
MIAMI, Nov. 22. (UP)— If the
T-bone you order in a few
months from now has a faint
flavor of mahogany, don't be
alarmed.
It's just that the steer has
been eating wood.
Yes, main, we said wood. The
Florida Forest Service reports
an experiment now being con-
ducted in feeding livestock wood
molasses, made from culled hard-
woods and cottonseed cake.
The mixture costs very little,
about 25 cords of wood will pro-
duce a tank car full of food. And
the steers seem to like it.
Of course, no one's gotten
around yet to testing the meat.
You might keep that in mind
next time you order a plain
steak.

is advised, paid college veterans
on their first pay-dav for the fall
term amounts to $889,240.
Robert \V. Sission. regional

who were not paid on time were
delayed because of late enroll-
ment, transfer of records from
other VA regional offices and in
so"ie instances incomplete en-

LOST 42 POUNDS
WITHOUT DiETiNG
The following remarkable story
ahows conclusively-that Barcejitrste
DOES take off fat.
ft contains nothing harmful. In
fact, it contains ingredients that
make you feel better. No starva-
tion diet—no weakness—no hunger.
liarcentratc, the original grape-
fruit juice recipe takes off fat
quickly, safely and you can eat
plenty.
ITere Ts. Proof
"When I started taking Ftarcon-
trate, 1 weighed 212 pounds and
wore size 46 dresses. Now I wear
size 18 and weigh 166 pounds. 1
started taking Bareentrate in
March and by June I had lost 47
potinds, I would have lost more
weight had 1 left off fattening
foods, but I was anemic at that
time and afraid to diet. People who
Jcnew me before I started taking
Bareentrate are amazed at the
weight I have lost. My flesh is
firm; I have never become flabby
or wrinkled and I am 40 years old.
"Before taking Bareentrate I
couldn't do my house work without
becoming exhausted; had dizzy
spells and my head and back hurt
me constantly. I was so short wipd-
«d, 1 was miserable. But now all
those things have gone and it is
really a pleasure to do the chores I
onee dreaded.
"Three years ago I nearly died
with Typhus fever and it left me
anemic and I could never get my
blood count up again or get back
my energy. After taking Bareen-
trate my blood count started up
and is now norma). So you see why
1 praise Bareentrate so highly and
recommend it. Any pi-aise I can
give Bareentrate is small compared
to the relief and happiness it 4ias
brought me." — Mrs. Eula While-
head, 509 Harmon, Corpus Christi,
Texas.
At A11 Druggists
The above is one of hundreds of
amazing endorsements we have re-
ceived.
If you are overweight and want
to take off ugly fat, just go to your
druggist and ask for four ounces of
liquid Bareentrate. Pour this into a
pint bottle and add enough grape-
fruit juice to fill bottle. Then take
just two tablespoonsful twice a day.
If the very first bottle doesn't show
you the simple, safe, easy way to
take off weight, return the empty
bottle for your money back.

Baby Sitting Is
Major Source Of
Student Pin Fund
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22 (UP)
<—Baby sitting has boomed in-
to a major source of pocket mon-
ey for half the men of Beta
Theta Pi fraternity at Washing-
ton University in St. Louis.
Sophomore Warren Fayart,
who's from Springfield, Illinois,
conceived the idea when he saw
a group of Campus faculty
homes teeming with faculty
children. Fayart had been mull-
ing over the high cost of living.
So he had cards printed. They
read "baby sitting" and gave his
name and telephone number.
The Beta telephone was
swamped with calls. Fayart
farmed out to fraternity brothers
the sitting jobs he couldn't
handle. Now he says:
"Let's be honest about it.
We study or read the interesting
magazines all the professors
sejem to take. The babies sleep."
sleep."
The student baby-sitter goes
on:
"Sitting is a cinch. Most of
us have younger brothers or sis-
ters, nieces or nephews, so we're
not afraid of babies. Not even
of changing their diapers."

Atomic Bamb Project
Almost Canceled At
One Part Of Program
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, (UP)
.— Democratic Representative
Clarence Cannon of Missouri
says he almost halted appropria-
tions for the development of the
atomic bomb after $2,000,000.(100
had been spent on it.
Cannon, who then was chair-
man of the House Appropria-
tions Committer said lie made
up his .mind to stop further ex-
penditures only a few days be-
fore the bomb was dropped on
Japan. Cannon said no hint of
the nature of the project was
given him or other committee
members when the army asked
for the money. When Cannon
and others began balking at the
heavy demands for funds, Can-
non said General George Mar-
shall invited a small group to
visit Oak Ridge.
Diaper Service Man
Has Ideas To Help
Expectant Fathers
MEMPHIS, Nov. 22 (UP) —
There's at least one man in this
country who's determined that
mothers will get more help with
their new-born children, more
help from fathers, that is.
The chivalrous gentleman is
slowtalking, 31-year-old Bill
Cause of Memphis, Tenn. Gause
runs a diaper service in Mem-
phis. And Gause has a plan. He
has instructed his diaper service
drivers to ask mothers whether
they're getting any help from
father in changing the infant's
diapers. If the mother says no,
which is usually the case, the
driver then asks the mother's
permission to take the father
aside and have a man-to-man
talk with him.
During the talk, Gause says,
his drivers are to offer the fath-
er, free of charge, a lesson on
how to pin a diaper, a rut how
to hold a baby, feed it and bathe
it.
Gause also says he has or-
ganized an expectant fathers
club. Through this, he hopes to
get other diaper service people
to give the same kind of aid his
own drivers give.
Gause says his ideas began
when he found that most hus-
bands, who work only five days
a week, seldom did anything to
help with the junior business.
Gause says: "Some husbands
even hide in the garage when it
comes time to switch diapers."
The Female of the Species
ST. LOUIS, (UP)— Police Ser-
geant Louis Falkenburg knows
now that woman can bo the
more dangerous of the species.
In halting the escape attempt of
a woman arrested for peace dis-
turbance, Falkenburg tackled
her. She kicked him, breakirtg
his leg. j
Many early almanacs con-
taine d predictions based on as-
trology. The World Book En-
cyclopedia relates that the pre-
dictions often turned out to be
so harmful to those who believ-
ed them that publication of the
books was stopped by the alt-
■thorit ies. ^
