with a gray, dirty, membrane-like coat. The factor that ties trenchmouth to war is probably that of nutrition. There is considerable evidence that inadequate diet plays an important role in making it possible for these organisms to assert themselves.
Obviously, in the treatment of this infection (also called Vincent’s angina), it is wise to insure a completely adequate diet, and take extra quantities of the vitamins mentioned from both natural and artificial sources. The treatment again includes the local care of a dentist in correcting such conditions as encouraging the growth of the organisms. For home treatment, the chemicals that release free oxygen are useful in that they do not provide ideal environment for the organisms. The best of these is hydrogenperoxide, which may be used as 4 mouth wash in full strength, or diluted with an equa! amount of warm water.
BLACK MARKET MAY BE CURBED
Community Levels Is First Blow to Run-Away
Prices.
WASHINGTON, May 5 (U. P). —Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown today is counting heavily on new community ceilings on many grocery products, which become effective next Monday in 150 cities, tc curb runaway prices and destroy black markets. A price roll-back promised by Brown last Friday, is not involved. But the program was said to be the first move toward reducing out-of-hand prices. The office of price administrator will announce the new ceilings Sunday. They will cover poultry, fluid milk, bread, eggs, butter, packaged cheese, sugar, cereals, evaporated milk and condensed milk, macaroni and noodle products, lard, cooking and salad oils, peanut butter, canned fish, frozen fish, syrups and honey. At the outset they will apply in all the 105 cities where OPA has district offices and others selected because of special reasons.
Birthday of Rationing
Disclosure of the ceilings—the same throughout an era—came on the first anniversary of commodity rationing.« Since rationing of sugar a year ago today OPA sought to control the price of everything that money can buy and it is expected that poultry, potatoes and milk will be the next on the ration list. The new ceiling prices will be the highest legal prices that may be charged in a specified area and will be specifically stated so that consumers can understand them. Each week, thereafter, ceilings for new groups of foods will be announced “until the housewife’s market basket is protected.” Depend on Housewives OPA is depending upon housewives combating runaway prices once they are able to understand what the legal ceiling price is. The new dollars-and-cents ceilings were revealed shortly after. OPA spokesinen admitted that prices, particularly food prices, are “practically out of control.” He said that agency enforcement had failed in food price control and that henceforth consumers would be depended
upon to “enforce” ceilings.

Squash Ranks High Among Victory Vitamin Producers

Summer squash reaches maturity in 50 to 90 days and is not suitable for storage. Straight-neck, cocozelle, zucchini and white bush scalloped are war-varieties recommended by A. A.

In addition to good soil, good cultivation is necessary for a maximum yield.

Hubbard, Boston, marrow and delicious are all excellent varieties. They are larger and harder shelled than the summer squashes and are suitable dry storage for use during the winter season.
Vines Need Dusting
Because of their ability to vine, winter squashes should be grown in
