...closed Mediterranean would leave Italy seriously crippled for food and raw materials, annually stores part of the wheat crop as a war measure, sells a sizable portion abroad for needed foreign exchange. Thus last year, while the nation on paper produced enough for home use, Italy in fact suffered a wheat shortage. Bakers, unable to purchase sufficient wheat flour, eked out their dough with substitutes like corn flour, bean flour, ground lentils or ground ceci, yellow, bean-like pellets. The Government legalized this adulteration up to 20% but bakers took advantage of the practice, began turning out queer tasting, colored...
...Cincinnatians from beer-garden waiters to socialites were excited over the game. For among the picked National League players were five Cincinnati Reds, an unprecedented number for the league's perennial tail-enders and a larger representation than that of any other club. Even more unprecedented was the fact that two of them were rookies, and one, 22-year-old Johnny Vander Meer, who had skyrocketed to fame a few weeks earlier when he won two no-hit, no-run games within five days, was to pitch the first three innings...

Last week Dr. John Theodore King of Baltimore argued that at least exophthalmic goitre is intimately connected with chronic tonsillitis. His thesis: the lymph channels of the thyroid and the lymph glands of the neck (including the tonsils) are closely interconnected. This is a newly discovered fact. Through these lymphatic channels any infection of the neck can spread and affect the sympathetic nervous system which serves the neck and eye sockets. All this led Dr. King to suspect that the most frequently infected gland of the neck, the tonsils, might be the cause of exophthalmic goitre...
