ion from an article in the New York Globe, BY
Alfred w. Mccain, one of the pioneers in the
better food movement:
There are no references to paralyzed
pigeons in the extraordinary letters published
below. The first is signed by DR.. Ralph W.
Babcock, 542 Fifth avenue, New York City,
and because it covers the experience of three
children who, even by twentieth century pa
gans, are ranked higher than paFalyzed
pigeons, it's contents fit snugly into this Sc
ries of articles. DR.. Babcock says;
81 have been practicing dentistry in New
York City for over nineteen years. Having
read your articles. in Fridays Globe referring
to the letter written you by DR.. Rowley, l
am impelled to inform you that my expert
ence has been almost parallel to his.
About ten years ago l came to the con-
cusion that there must be something radical
ly wrong in the diet of the American people,
and that whatever the evil might be it was
certainly the chief cause of much tooth
trouble and lack of vitality. My experience
has convinced me that the excess of refined
sugar and highly miled white flour, as con-
sumed by the people of the United States, is
at the root OF the morbid symptoms of I'M
dermined health, which are everywhere ex-
hibited to the medical and dental professions
IF have three boys whose ages are seven,
thirteen, and fifteen years My oldest boy
has filings in nearly all his teeth. The sec
ond boy has only one small filling The
youngest has none at all.
For the past eight ten years we have
been eliminating white bread and sugar from
our home table and am convinced that this
is the reason for the better teeth of the two
younger boys.
when one stops to consider that over
100000 children under ten years of age have
died Fin the United States alone during the
last ten years. chiefly from the lack of
proper nourishment, despite the fact that
there is Il greater abundance of food in Amer
lea than any place else in the world, it would
seem high time for all the nations of earth
to investigate the causes behind this condi
ton of frightful mortality and the condition
OF even more frghtfdl morbidity which they
disclose"

OUR DEADLY FOOD

hat an excess Of sugar and the highly refined
and bleached -four now in common use is respon-
sible for much illness, and particularly the decay
of the teeth, is the opinion of many dietcians and
other eminent authorities Dr. Ralph w. Babcock,
of New York City, known in Lakeland where he
was visitor short time ago earnestly shares
that view
In letter to the editor of the Telegram he
sets forth his views succinclly He says that chill
dren of the present age (under l. years. have
more dental work done than our grandparents did
at the age of sixty and past. 1t is not matter
of personal concern to himself he says as it would
be to his pecuniary advantage for the people to
continue stufhng themselves with white bread and
candy; but for the good of humanity he is taking
an active part in the work now being pushed by
few scientific men and public institutions 10 edu-
cate the people as to their proper diet. He quoes
a noted authority as saying, Man could live to be
over 100 years old on diet of milk, honey, whole
wheat bread and oranges. as these foods contain
all the vitamine elements necessary to sustain life.

HAlNES' MORNING

It's Dry Law Haines who now complains that

poisoned brew, and cease to paint things redly
This Dry Law Haines is taking pains to warn us
of our danger; he hates to the graveyard tea
kill off the pilgrim stranger. The bootleg drinks
are made by gnks who are not moral handles,
and he is wise to all their ryes, their bourbons,
gins and brandies. OF posons dire and liquid
fire they are a sinful medley, and Brother Haines,
he still maintains that bootleg drinks deadly.
And comrade Haines, of brains, should
know OF what he's speaking, he tolls among the
jug and bung and spigot sadly leaking. He SAM
pies rye and finds it I've, all kinds of booze he
handles; he finds brew has liquid glue, put

gains from sane aid sober thinkers who've
marked the fate that seems to wait for bootleg

THE FOUR POWER PACT

1t might be a good idea for the advocates of
the new four power treaty moi to stress the resem-
bance of that document to the league of nations
covenant Those who ardently supported the
league can not to get firmly established on the
fact that the public voted against the league by
an overwhelming majority. Possibly the people
we're wrong. but certainly they knew what they
were doing and did it deliberately
Whether the new treaty is worth while or not
depends upon good many considerations. If it
will make war less likely or pave the way to per-
manent peace it will justify its ratification. If it
is merely one of those inerminable temporary ar
rangements by which nations tide over their dis
putes until they get in better shape to fight, or
if it is accompanied by no genuine reduction O.,
ornaments it would better be defeated in the
senate
Perhaps it is not far from correct to say that
the burden Of proof is on its advocates It should
moi be accepted as matter Of course, nor on the
theory that if it does no good it will do harm.
But unless positive and substantial reasons can
be shown it should be voted down.
The American pu5Ec is overwhelmingly for
peace. 1t has right to be. even though most
Of the leaders of the people are for war. And it
has right, through its representation in congress-
to thwart any mere dckering or jockeying with the
vital question of peace.
Perhaps if the four power pact were defeated,
it might begin to dawn on cur rulers that if they
want to do anything with assurance of popular
backing they must find out what the people want
and do that

Offers Plan.

| WASHINGTON. - Prohibition en-
forcement officials have completed a
program for the reorganization of
the federal enforcing units and revis-
ION OF enforcement methods. The
suggested changes, which includes
adjustment of about half of the SUI
pervisory jobs and the establishment
OF system of state directors to be
held wholly responsible for enforce
ment and administrative work sub
mitted by Prohibition Commissioner
haynes to Chairman Penrose and Sem
ator Watson, Indiana, of the senate
finance committee.
Would Tighten the Lid.
Senators who studied the plans de-
clared the changes would tighten the
lid on liquor and would result also.
IN a saving in the money cost of en-
forcing the Volstead act. Mr.. Haynes
and Commissioner Blair of the bureau
OF internal revenue explained that
they mad sought to eliminate "red
tape and make the enforcement CORDS
more responsive to its duties.
Mr.. Haynes said it had been "clear-
iy demonstrated after a thorough
trial" that the present plan OF or.
ganization of the field force should
be abandoned. He wanted, he said
centralized authority, coordination
IN the handling of permissive and en-.
forcement features and elimination OF
uncertainty, friction and confusion.
In addition to the creation of a
single enforcement and administrative
unit for each of the states, Mr.. Hay
mes proposed the following:
Abolish Supervisors.
Adjustment of the offices of SUI.
pervising federal prohibition agents.
elimination of prohibition inspectors
ana the designation of all enforcing
and administrative officers under the,
state directors as prohibition agents.
Transfer of offices of several of the
directors to logical and accessible"
locations.
Creation of mobile field force. or.
ganized to operate directly under the
federal commissioner.
Consolidation of all records to pro-
vlde a closer check on leaks which
may be sprung in the liquor supply.
Mr.. Haynes reorganization program
was worked out on the assumption
that the prohibition unit will remain
IN the treasury department, It was
said.
