Campbell, a field agent of the Department of Agriculture. More Negro farmers have mortgage-free crops than ever before, are learning to diversify their farming. The Department has helped greatly in this. At the turn of the century only two Negro farm demonstration agents were employed in the South. Today there are 785, to help them. These gains are part of the general progress made by farmers under the government program. o o Three proposals to increase income for the state highway commission and the amount distributed to counties and cities for road and street repairs are being considered in the legislature.

If You Suspect Heart Trouble

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. | ■MANY patients with symptoms affecting the heart and circulation do not have any actual disease but are really suffering from nervousness. One of these conditions is known as neurocirculatory asthenia. The symptoms in these cases are often shortness of breath, headache, rapid and noticeable beating of the heart, and sometimes pain near the heart and fainting spells. The patient may also have poor appetite, feel depressed, over-anxious, fatigued and shaky. Persons with this disorder data that any muscular effort ■brihgs on an attack. It is not unusual to find that these patients hare bad disturbances of a nervous type during childhood, such as fears, nightmares, or bed*ettiag; later on in life these have been transferred into anxiety concerning physical health. Many of these people are poorly adjusted, and heart symptoms offer a reason for their inability to meet complexity situations which confront them ]n treating this condition, it is necessary that the patient be as sored that his physical health is qiite satisfactory, and that his symptoms are Ohly due to his aux iety and nervousness. Such treatment has resulted in improvement in about one-third of the patients. If there is a more severe type of anxiety, treatment by ■ a ipeelallst in these disorders is requlrtd. ' 1

registration fees would be boosted $4,000,000 a year; passenger autos would be hiked $2 each and the I, gasoline tax increased one cent a gallon. It is estimated this 1 triple plan would raise about 14 t million dollars a year and to some r extent apease the demand for more r t money for street and road upkeep. After ail there is no use talking ( about more ’money being needed unless something is done to raise ’ the funds. o o Reapportionraent of state legislative districts will not change the ! status of Adams county, even if i the new plan is passed by the legislature. It is designed along federal government representation, ■ whereby the senators would represent the counties and the reprei sentatives apportioned on the basis of population in each county. In counties the size of Adams, one senator would still represent two counties. In the larger counties. I I above 100,6’00, each would have a senator. The state hasn't been! redistricted since 1921, although the law specifies that reapportionment take place every sit years. o ——0 —- Opinion Changing: The opinion seems to be spread-I ing that there is more possibilitynow of congressional approval for the St. Lawrence seaway proposal than there has been at any other time in the fifty years since it! was first envisioned. There are various reasons for this conclusion. Among them are the general atmosphere now prevailing in Washington, and the possibility that within the foreseeable future the government will be looking for sound public construction projects. There are many such to be found, and the seaway is one. A new factor, one which might tip the balance, is the changing viewpoint of some transportation and industrial interests which have traditionally opposed the project. This is large- ’ ly because it now seems certain that before many years the principal source of high grade iron ore will shift from the Lake Superior region eastward to Quebec and Labrador, beyond the rapids of the St. Lawrence from the great steel centers of Pittsburgh and the Great Lakes. Thus there is beginning to be revealed to others now’ what many wise men saw years ago. This is the fact that the seaway project would benefit the entire country, and so in the end would also benefit most of the individual interests which have thought they would be hurt by it. So it is with’ most projects to develop natural resources on a large scale; some' persons always think they would lose, but in the long ran they usually gain by any development; which helps the public.

I The most important part of the treatment is for the patient to understand that his symptoms co’me from fear, anxiety, and nervous tension. Even in heart disorders in which the heart is actually damaged, patients may have certain nervous disturbances which result in shortness of breath.and rapid heart beat, even though the heart is properlykeeping up the circulation. Patients with these heart disturbances may feel inferior and resent their Inability to do as much as those with a normal heart, and thus they may develop psychologic upsets. On the other hand, strict limitation of his activities may lead a patient into an unnecessary state of chronic invalidism. Thus, it is Important for patients with heart disease to understand the exact nature of their condition and not to become resentful or develop a feeling of inferiority, all of which can only add to their problems QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS S. A.: Would you please tell me what 1 could do to get rid of red veins on my cheeks? ■Answer: Enlargement of the veins in the skin of the face should be treated by a skin specialist. Various methods have been used tor eliminating these veins, such as injections of scaring substances, or ' radium. Unless the condition is severe no i treatment may he required-

Williams Home Demonstration Agent , Frozen Foods I Freezing of cakes, pies, brea.istj and other prepared foods is not difficult. « t The homemaker can save time by making several cakes or pies at one , time as this makes one mixing do the work of several. Here are a few rules to.observe .. to have successful results. ( (1) Use only ingredients of best quality. (2) Cook vegetables and , meats to barely tender stage and remove from heat at once. This shortens the cooking time. <3) | Cool quickly and thoroughly. Slow , cooling of vegetables, meats, cus- . tard mixes, etc., can be a dangerous source of food poisening. (4) cleanliness is important. Freezing does not kill bacteria. (5) Freeze quickly for the best quality of foods. (6) Storage temperatures i should remain at 0° to 5 degrees . below zero. (7) Store food a reasonable length of time, not more thgn a few weeks to a few months. (8) Prepare frozen foods quickly . for the table. Cooked meats should be frozen in large pieces. Some casserole j dishes are very satisfactory and i can be reheated without destroying their flavor and texture. Mixed raw fruits freeze well for salads. Butter cakes and nut and fruit breads may be frozen before or after bakj ing. Fruit purees make a nice frozi en dessert. Powdered sugar icings freeze more successfully than boil-! ed frostings. Freezer Size . j i Size is one of the most important considerations in buying a home freezer if the family is to get beat i returns for the money, invested. ‘ Regular models of home freezers new offered by most dealers run ! anywhere from 4 to 18 cubic foot in capacity but it is'possible to buy | a chest freezer as small as 2% cui bic feet or a big 60-cubic foot mcdel.

is suggested. But right size depends a great deal on the way the freezer will be used. A city or suburban family, using it mostly for storing commercially frozen food and ice cream, may need only one to two cubic feet per person whereas a farm family, freezing much of its yearly supply of homeproduced food may need 10 to 12 cubic feet pei person. A cubic foot holds about 30 to 35 pounds of food. It is better to overestimate on size than to underestimate, the specialists suggest. The trend of demand in .both freezers and refrigerators is toward larger sizes .be- , cause families are coming to appredate more and more the advantages of refrigerators and frozen storage for food. Moreover, the larger size freezers cost less per cubic foot than the smaller sizes. .Electric consumption by a horde freezer varies with its size, use and location in the house. A 10 cubit foot freezer,’ under average conditions, requires about 90 kilowatt hours a month. This figure, multiplied by the electric rato, gives roughly the monthly cost of electricity for the freezer. Habeas Corpus Writ Filed For Stephenson South Bend.
