LET’S PUT THEM OVER! Two amendments, both relating to ihe conservation of Florida’s wildlife resources, November 3rd elections. One relates to the Florida Game atd Fresh water Fish commission, while the other affects the State Board of Gonserva- ticn. Both of the. afgendmé its Jhave the active backing end @pproya (Gov. Spes- sard L. Holland, the Florida State Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Wild- | life Federation andyits associated sports- men’s clubs. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN These measures are the outcome of) considerable thought and work on the part: | of Florida’s angling and hurting experts— men and women wha earnestly desire to im- ; prove and increase this state’s wildlife re- sources. Their passage under favorable voter consideration on Nov. 3rd will mark a big forward step in conservation, for they will enable both departments to better ad- minister their affairs. They are specifically designed to ‘‘take conservation out of poli- ties.” Rest of all, perhaps, is the fact that they never will cost the taxpayer one addi- tional cent in taxation. In fact, they should enable the depaiiments to increase their income through a larger sale of licenses. Sportsmen throughout Florida have asked for these amendments. Sportsmen have fought for them and obtained the right to present them to the electorate through legislative resolution. They deserve your iavorable consideration. Vote “YES” on both amendments! AIR ATTACKS WEAKENING NAZIS Ruthless air attacks will be continued ; against Germany, declares Sir Archibald Sinclair, British Alir Minister, who - poin out that British and American plans for a vast air offensive, laid.“‘through all the months of patient, strenuous work” are “at last beginning to ripen.” In a war that is largely a battle of pro- duction, it is easily possible for mammoth | aerial cperations to cripple the capacity of fighting nations. That Germany is uneasy over the threat from the air this fall and winter is emphasized by news that one of Germany’s most vital war industries, manu- | facturing anything from drugs to explosives and poison gas, has placed huge construc- tion contracts in the south of Norway. German industry, which has been har- nessed for the war effort to the last ac- tivity, represents a military objective of the first magnitude. Every bomb that hits a German factory, destroying machinery, blasts transportation facilities or blows up harbor installations, means a net loss to the German war machines. News of the arrival of a mammoth convoy from the United States came from London last week, with the explanation that a large proportion of it was composed inly, the fAnglo-Saxon combi- sto \elve Hitler, Goebbels, other Nazis a full dose of t! Mbings that they so enjoyed -when they were directed against England. LONG RANGE WAR OUTLOOK The Axis powers are weaker today than when warfare began; ithe United Nations are stronger. disappeared and the war of attrition is un- derway. Slowly the weight of the com- bined resources of the United Nations is be- ing assembled for the decisive battles of the war. .While there is no certainty that the United Nations will .win there is, at least, no probability that the Axis will triumph before we havea chance to-wage war. The grave danger, as 1942 began, was: that ihe ‘Aris ‘would scote such tremendous. gains as to become inydinerable: This“has not oc- curred. Our stipply lifes, upon’ which must move men and.material, are open and in our control. We have the opportunity to fight for life and ‘the means to win the war. There will be new Axis victories be- | fore the war ends. Those familiar with the jast World War know. how dangerous was Germany’s 1918 offensive and how dark was the outlook 100 days before the Teu- tonic collapse. Qnly courage and deter- mination carried us to victory then and only the same qualities will give us the victory tomorrow. The blitzkrieg has | | j EASY IDENTIFIED : ALWAYS IN TEARS.

It jas been assumed that this stop page in germ health weakened the bugs enough so that the body's ordinary defenses could kill them and so get rid of t disease. Physicians have wanted know why or how the sulfa drugs stop bacterial growth A theory was that the drug inter- fered with or spoiled some of the food required by the germs The tomato root experiment wes a test of this theory. It showed that the theory probably is right, and that the food which the sulfa drugs spoil is at least . in part the recently discov vitamin, para amino benzoic acid, which'ts cated Paba.
