More Bacon And Tenderer Beef
May Be Expected Says Washington
We may expect more bacon and
tendered beef next winter, but we
must count on world shortages in
sugar, meats, oils, textiles, leather,
coal and transport facilities for
the next several months, accord
ing to official sources in the
nation’s capital. Explaining the
latest situation on the home front
and predicting what the end of the
war will bring, the Washington
newsletter of McCall’s reports in
the July issue:
“You will have a better under
standing of what shortages to ex
pect if you keep in mind that the
major world shortages for the
next several months will be:
sugar, meats, fats and oils, tex
tiles, leather, coal, lumber, paper
and all transport facilities.
"Bigger pigs and heavier cattle
are being encouraged by the gov
ernment because we now have an
abundant supply of grain. Bacon
should be easier to find this win
ter and your beef will be more
tender. Best of all, the distribution
of meats is improving and you
can begin to feel that your neigh
borhood is getting its fair share
of what there is.
“Rabbits for food and ’ clothes.
Shortages of other meats have run
the production of domestic rabbits
up almost 300 percent during the

VOICE/PROPHECY
Question—Does anybody actually
KNOW that Christ will really come
again?
Answer—Yes. All who believe
what He said in John 14:3: “And
If I go and prepare a place for you,
1 will come again, and receive you
unto Myself; that where X am, there
ye may be also.’’
Q.—What day is the Apostle
taiKing aDout in Komans
A.—A day connected with feast
ing and eating herbs. The Passover
was the only feast in which herbs
were used. (Exodus 12:8.) The
question considered here seems to
be whether or not Christians need
;to keep the Passover.
Q.—Do you think we will ever
have a famine in this country?
A.—If you are a child of God,
you need not worry about it. Just
“Trust in the Lord, and do good;
80 shalt thou dwell in the land, and
,verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm
37:3. According to the words of
Christ in Matthew 24:7, famines
would come to this earth, but just
where and when we are not told.
Q.—Why not give us some sound
business principles from the Bible
|f there are any there?
A.—They are all there. Here are
a few:
Romans 12:11: Never be sloth
ful in business.
Proverbs 22:29: Diligence in
business wins respect.
1 Thessalonians 4:11: Study to
do your own business.
Leviticus 19:36: Have honest
weights and measurements.
Leviticus 19:13: Hired help to be
properly paid.
Proverbs 11:15:: Avoid sureties
for debts.
Romans 13:8: Pay your debts.
Q.—Is the future life not one of
our influence going on, rather than
an actual living again?

found in Job 14:14: “If a man die,
shall he live again?” And here is an
answer by the gospel prophet: “Thy
dead men shall live, together with
pay dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in
dust: for thy dew is as the dew of
herbs, and the earth shall cast out
the dead.” Isaiah 26:19. In 1 Thes
salonians 4:17 we read: “Then we
which are “alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be
j»rlth the Lord.”

war. California, the chief produc
ing state, put 13,000,000 pounds of
rabbit meat on the market last
year. Other rabbit news: Due to
new spinning processes, natural
fur fibers from the rabbit—as well
as the muskrat, silver fox and
other animals—can be turned into
warm fabric quickly and easily.
“A shortage of tungsten is hold
ing up production of new electric
light bulbs. It can’t be plentiful
again until the trade lanes from
China are reopened.
“A lack of plastics for handles
has been holding up the produc
tion of electric irons authorized
under special government pro
grams. Possible substitutes now
under study include heat-treated
wood, glass and a molded sub
stance derived from wastepaper.
“Summer is the hardest season
on synthetic tires, do all you can
to lengthen the life of yours by
watching them and seeing about
repairs promptly. New automo
biles will be made in 1946—but
they won’t be plentiful again for
maybe two or three years.
“Look for treated soles. The ex
perts who learned that stitched
leather, shoe soles will last at least
25 percent longer if treated with
oil or wax have now learned how
to use the same treatment on ce
ment of all leather-soled footgear
is so treated. Look for it and also
look for the instructions on shoe
conservation which are now sup
posed to come with each pair,
whether treated or not.
‘‘Pencillin is a wonderful thing,
but doctors caution that it is not
a cure-all and won’t be even when
it is generally available in cosme
tics, ointments, special chewing
gum and lozenges. Use it, they
say, but don’t expect it to solve
all your health problems.
"Paper salvage usually falls off
during summer months because
school children who do most of
the collecting scatter off to play
or do other war jobs such as
working on farms. Collections
must go forward this summer, but
if they slow up in your neighbor
hood don’t throw any paper away.
Stack it up for the children later.
“Next of kin are cautioned by
the War Department against fall
ing for promotional schemers who
search casualty lists for names
and address of relatives to whom
they can write for contributions to
fake memorials to dead heroes.
“As peace comes closer you’ll
hear more about radiant heat
which warms the house without
radiators or registers. In principle
this idea is centuries old. Castle
owners were using a form of ra
diant heating when they had hot
air ducts built under their floors.
Heating engineers are improving
on the same idea by trying out
various ways of building pipes and
coils into floors to achieve evener
temperatures throughout the
house, no smoke, invisible heating
fixtures.
“Another heating innovation is
the all-around-the-room radiator
about six inches high and two
inches thick installed where the
baseboard is usually found. Its
particular advantage is that it
does not interfere with the plac
ing of furniture.
“New and better matches. A
match which resembles a piece
of chalk and is good for about
500 lights has been developed.
Also, there’s a new waterproof
match which is supposed to strike
even after it has been soaked in
water for more than eight hours.
“A new, small type of turkey
which promises to lay 200 eggs a
year rather than the present 40 to
60 is assured for the future. This
means turkey eggs eventually will
be so plentiful you can have them
for breakfast. Also on tile way is
a tougher-shelled chicken egg
which Will stay fresh longer and
travel better.
“Your maid Will come back to
work for you when the war is
over, but she may not stay long
if you try to re-establish the aver
age prewar relationship between
mistress and servant. The Wom
en’s Advisory Committee of the
War Manpower Commission thinks
the new relationship should be
one of employer and employee.
Wages are not the chief complaint
of household employees; it’s the
lack of a timetable which sets
some limit on hours.”
