FATIGUE MAY CAUSE COMMON CULP System is More Susceptible to Infection When One is Exhausted Nearly every cold that is suffered got its start when the afflicted was “tired out.” A fatigued person is easily chilled, and when this condition occurs the sneeze and sore throat make their appearance. Since most every or.e experiences fatigue in mid or late afternoon, it is wise to overcome this condition by eating or drinking something sweet. Candy, cookies, sweetened beverages and ice cream are quickly digested, and the energy in the sugar is ready at once to restore vigor. For children, a slice of bread and butter sprinkled with sugar is an appropriate “pick-up.” In these winter days, the importance of diet in relation to the resistance of the system should not be overlooked. The person who eats a wide variety of wholesome food fortifies himself against disease. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute. Advertisement

Miss Cecilia Piszker South Bend Woman Will Visit Hungary; Mayr Certifies Affidavit. Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. was called upbn to certify today to a traveling affidavit for Miss Cecilia Piszker, 27, South Bend, ‘ the girl without a country.” Miss Piszker, who has lived in South Bend since coming from her native Hungary in 1924, wants to return to visit her father at Ugod, Veszprem county, Hungary.

The traveling affidavit, drafted by Joseph Kish Jr., St. Joseph county clerk, was received at the staleheute today.

PROFANITY STIR DOESN'T WORRY RADIORULERS Federal Commission Shrugs Shoulders on Butler’s ‘Hell’ Outburst. By United Prtts WASHINGTON, April 28.—The modem tendency of some of our best known orators to slip an occasional “hell” or “damn” into their public utterances has brought a demand from the more circumspect of the nation’s radio listeners that the federal radio commission assume the role of censor of the air. The answer, it was made clear at the commtelson’s office today, is a firm, though gentle, “no.” The commission does not wish to become involved in any controversy which would necessitate defining just what constitutes profanity. Th? commission feels that the stations themselves must be the judges. In anything so new as radio, members of the commission explain, it is wise to move slowly, watching public sentiment. That is why the commission didn't get excited about the sudden termination of the Smedley Butler speech in Philadelphia after the word “hell” had crackled over the air. The station suspending the broadcast was within its rights, the commission commented. Ambassador Charles G. Dawes is another public figure given to occasional picturesques language. So also is Alexander Legge, former chairman of the federal farm board, whose platform outbursts ha’-e created many a headline.
