■The secrecy lid has been clamped

DO YOU HAVE ARTHRITIS?
Here is a message you will want to read
Your doctor can tell you there is absolutely no known cure for arthritis. Med
ical research specialists are now engaged in several projects which, it is felt, will
ultimately help in finding a cure* but as yet none has been found. Naturally, we
wl live in hope they will be successful but until that time we must be content
to get the best relief possible.
Right now there is a fast, safe and effective relieving agent available called
Rruvo. Pruvo's ingredients have been used in hospitals and clinics, prescribed by
doctors, and have helped scores of men and women to lead happy and full lives. You
jan be sure nothing is faster, safer or has been proven more effective than Pmvo
tor temporary easing of a minor arthritic condition or its related diseases • •
rheumatism, neuritis, sciatica, lumbago and bursitis. And it's wonderful for back
ache and everyday muscular aches and pains too. Try Pruvo today. Ask you
druggist for a generous 75-tablet trial size bottle. You must be satisfied with
he results or your purchase price will be refunded by the maker. There are larger,
onomy sizes also, for continued use.

It was further pointed out that
the United States is supplying
; backward nations with equipment
so advanced and complex that “in
many cases it will take several
: years at best, and in soma cases a
generation or more, for the recipi
ents to be able to operate and
i maintain” it. The Subcommittee
i noted that it has been impossible
to keep adequate records or main
tain inventory control in aided
countries where the rate of illi
teracy is high and mentioned as
an illustration of the problem stock
record cards filled out for “so many
cases of ‘This Side Up’”.

IT WILL TAKE much more
than the usual glib slogans of the
International Cooperation Admin
istration to explain away these lat
est irrefutable revelations of for
eign ai'’ excesses. Even consistent
defenders of the program like Sen
ator Hubert Humphrey have been
moved to declare that “we cannot
go on like this.”
It is hardly likely that President
Eisenhower will get the $3.9 billion
he is expected to request for for
eign aid and, unless he and his
Draper Committee make some con
vincing corrective recommenda
tions, it appears that the whole
mutual security program may be in
for some rough sledding at this
Session of Congress.

Where Were You
On Feb. 9,1913?
Editor, Home Journal:
Dear Sir:
This office is interested in in
formation concerning a unique me
teor shower which occurred on
February 9, 1913. The shower was
visible in Canada and New York
State. According to the calcula
tions of some astronomers, the me
teors of this shower were natural
satellites of the earth, moving
around it in a nearly circular or
bit.
If these calculations are correct,
then the shower should have pass
ed over your area on the night of
February 9, 1913, at approximate
ly 10:45 p. m. Persons who saw the
shower reported that it lasted only
a short time—less than five min
utes—and that it consisted of four
or five groups of meteors, follow
ing in one anothers’ path across
the sky. The display was very stri
king.
In certain areas where the wea
ther was cloudy, the farming peo
ple noticed loud noises as if from a
thunderstorm; many farmers went
: out to the barn to check on their
" I stock, since the noises sounded as
5 if the cattle were kicking the walls
of the barn.
> In some local newspapers, the
■ information was put on the front
page; but in most places it appear
ed in the local and personal col
- umn, with some such items as
! “Did you hear the noise Sunday
evening about 10:45? It was heard
in Bath and Angelica. If shook the
windows in the Arkport station.”
Would you please look at your
newspaper for the week following
February 9, 1913, for any items of
this sort? They would be of con
siderable scientific interest and
value, since they would show that
the shower made a second pass
over the United States.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN A. O’KEEFE

sistently high-producing brood
cows that have transmitted their
inherent capacity to their daugh
ters and sons, say dairymen at the

, addition, he can evaluate his herd
sire by comparing daughter-dam
records.
