for shipping to our soldiers and allies, and more grapefruit will go into canned juice for shipping, too, the fresh fruit in large quantities will appear from now on into spring. Grapefruit and tangerines gre a victory food special through Dec. 12 and since fresh citrus fruits have been placed under temporary ceilings, consumers will find no appreciable change in price. Citrus fruit is a “natural” for winter meals, coming as it does when other fresh fruit is scarce. Oranges and grapefruit» contain several minerals and vitamins as well as other food values, but their most important contribution to the diet is probably vitamin C.
Use the Skins, Too
IN WINTER, whenever fresh fruits. and vegetables are ‘scarce, meals are likely to run low in this vitamin. The result often is such winter ills as a feeling of lassitude, lingering colds or sore gums. Studies of vitamin show that a large orange or a grapefruit each day will keep these vague ills away. Though citrus fruits are plentiful, we must be careful not to waste this or any other good food in wartime. The whole fruit contains much more vitamin C than the juice, especially the strained juice. So in making the most of oranges and grapefruit, remember that slicing is more economical than squeezing and straining. Even the outer peel contains vitamin C. Use it for marmalade, relishes, and use the grated peel to flavor desserts, biscuits and cookies. Oranges and grapefruit are richer in vitamin C than tangerines, but the latter are richer in vitamin A. 8 =

eT Men Should
[Learn Cancer:
Symptoms
By JANE STAFFORD Times Special Writer PARTS of the body where cancer most often attacks men are the stomach, intestines, rectum, lip, mouth, tongue, prostate, skin, lungs and throat. Men who know the danger signals of cancer and consult a physician promptly if any of them appear for diagnosis and treatment may help themselves to escape cancer death. Among cancer danger signals listed by the American Society for the Control of Cancer are the following: Stomach-intestine: In men of middle age or over who have had little or no distress from food, any persistent discomfort or distress after eating or drinking or any sudden loss of weight should be considered as suspicious and should be investigated by X-ray pictures. Distaste for meat or any bleeding from the rectum should also be studied by a competent physician. 8 ” f J LIP: Any sore, no matter how small, that does'not heal in 10 days or two weeks, and any lump, swelling or hardening, should be investigated. Mouth and tongue: The symptoms here are very similar to the lip. Care should be taken to correct jagged or broken teeth that may be a source of irritation to the tongue or cheeks. On the tongue, persistent white spots—especially in the case of smokers—should be examined by a doctor. Lungs: A persistent cought without fever or other symptoms or without known causes; blood in the sputum should be studied and explained. . Throat: Persistent hoarseness or difficulty in swallowing for 10 days’ duration without any obvious explanation on the grounds of a cold ar other infection, should be investigated.

Dorothy had to put away the spread, one-third done, a month ago. That was when she got her job drilling parts of wings for a new fighter plane, the Thunderbolt, in Republic Aviation’s big Long Island plant. “I know I can’t touch that spread till George gets back,’ Dorothy said softly. “Now.

You see, he’s just 25 and he’s fit; and we know he’s no better than the next man ‘and will be reclassified and called into service any time now.” » » »
THAT IS HOW personally Dorothy takes this war—how personally in a hurry she is to get it won. And that’s where her second ame bition comes in. “I try to beat my time every day with this hand drill because I expect to graduate from it,” she explained. “Pretty soon I will—you watch. I'm going to work right on top of the fuselage of the Thunder= bolt, just like Clara Feely does— look!—and Clara’s husband soon will be a bombardier!” Clara’s job certainly gives her more of a feeling of getting those high-flying, fast, heavily-gunned ships winging. Clara puts together the outer “skin,” and thus can see the craft taking shape right under her hands. She is' perched atop ‘the plane, suspended above the hundreds of men and women who work at floor level, making an enormous racket with machines of all sizes and kinds. Beyond all this, through an open ‘door at the end of the final assembly line, Clara can see fine ished Thunderbolts rolling out into the sunshine, rising and then returning from their test flights, and afterward. rising again and soaring off to action. One day one of her Thunderbolts may escort a bomber carrying her bombardier — who knows?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—The aching, package-laden arms of shoppers are about to be relieved of their burden—by transferring the burden to their shoulders. Coming along soon will be the Victory shoulder sack, capable of holding 50 pounds of assorted purchases. Some stores will give them away, others will sell them for 3 cents apiece. They're said to be smartly designed, looking a little like the shoulder bags that the. WAVES wear except that they're made of paper instead of leather. : If youre full of strength and ambition—and money— you might try carrying one bag on each shoulder, in the water-carrier manner. Only you'd better not try it if you're going home in rush-hour streetcars or busses. 2 8 =
THIS MAY sound like a wild rumor, but there’s actually an idea going the Washington rounds of promoting the sale of Japanese-made Christmas tree ornaments. The idea is to have some stores boost the price of their stock on hand, then refuse any profits from the sale, The difference between ‘cost and sales price might be donated to the USO, or handed to the buyer in war stamps. Some merchants are already thinking of selling a war stamp with every Christmas tree bulb. If some such promotional scheme isn’t developed, the Japmade products will certainly be boycotted. And the trouble with the boycott is that it only hurts the retailer, not the Japanese. ' 2 » ” » # “ 8

Beauty—
Be Attractive For Returning
Service Man
By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THE WOMAN who is determined to be as lovely when her sweetheart or husband or son comes back as she is when he goes to war will correct each beauty fault as it appears. She’ll get on the bathroom scales every single day, and thus she will
never gain a good deal of weight
before she realizes it’s time for exercise and diet. She will take into
account the fact that it’s a simple
matter to lose one pound, but it requires more will power than most people have to take off 10. Even though her hair is in perfect condition, she will brush it regularly. And she’ll treat it to a hot oil shampoo about once a month, Consequently, she will never even have to look to see whether there are flecks of dandruff—certainly not a few days before the unexpected furlough. Furthermore, she’ll keep up with changing hair styles and try a new coiffure once in a while, #» ” » WHEN SHE NOTICES that the hem in a certain dress is a little shoddy, the collar frankly tired, she'll repair the dress or have it repaired instantly. If she notices that a few pores on her nose seem enlarged, she gets a jar of mask and uses it once a week and begins to cleanse her skin more carefully and apply some kind of mild astringent regularly. She wouldn’t dream of waiting till every pore is definitely large. Nowhere is it so true that a stitch in time saves nine as—at the dressing table.
