Thousands of sportsmen all over the country have been They have asking thfit question! been asking it because estimates by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service, Ducks Unlimited, and other competent observers, led them to believe last fall was going to be a banner season of duck shooting. Results were far from what was expected. Some shooters blamed the weather; others blamed the ducks, complaining that they were not following their established flyways. Many were skeptical about the Wonder Drug Suspended In Cottonseed Oil and Is Put Into Gelatin Capsules It is now possible to administer penicillin in capsules through the mouth instead of the hypodermic injection method. This new technique is considered an important forward step in medicine, since there are several objections to the present practice" of injecting the miracle Dr. Raymond L. Libby, a drug. research specialist in the Lederle laboratories of the American Cyani-nji- d corporation, developed the new method after many months of study and experimentation. The great difficulty to be overcome was that the stomach acids destroyed penicillins power before it could be absorbed in the blood. Tablets of the drug, coated with various materials designed to dissolve after the tablet reached the small intestine, were tried, but discarded, because the breaking up point could not be accurately predetermined. Dr. Libby finally solved the problem by suspending the penicillin in cottonseed oil, which is digestible. He then put the mixture in gelatine capsules. This preparation is known as Ledercillin-Oral. When the gelatine capsule dissolves, it frees the oil, which passes into the small intestine, and is digested. The penicillin is then rapidly absorbed, and taken into the blood stream. Its marvelously effective action soon follows at the 'point of infection. The list of dangerous infectious conditions that are cleared up by penicillin continues to increase. Pneumonia, meningitis, abscesses, carbuncles, clotting of blood in the sinuses of the brain, pus collections in the chest, and various wound in- G Farm Organizations Seek to Through Gradually pre-seas- WASHINGTON, D. whole C.-- The Shall you need it a long time? asked the neighbor.

As has been pointed out, the farmers draw a line, sometimes a pretty fine line, of distinction as to subsidies or incentive payments which are paid out of the public treasury to bring about increased production of certain agricultural commodities, and consumer subsidies, which are payments from the public treasury in lieu of adequate and fair market place prices.

L. H. Barkhausen, Chicago, former president of Ducks Unlimited: As a shooting season, 1944 was very unsatisfactory, since most of the ducks merely passed from the rest lakes high into the cornfields and back without giving the hunters a good chance at them. I do not think there was any question but that there were many more ducks than usual, although the kill was much lighter. Alfred C.
