Food Standards High,
Declares Chief
OF Bureau

Food consumed nowadays in
the United States is, purer than
ever before, w. G. Campbell,
acting chief Of the Agriculture
Departments Bureau of Chem
istry, declared today.
Although food occasionally is
contaminated during some proc
ess it undergoes before reach
ing the consumer, the meticu-
lous efforts Of manufacturers in
recent years have brought food
quality standards to a high
pinnacle, Campbell said.
''The forms of adulteration
most frequently found today"
Campbell said, "affect the
pocketbook more often than
the health. The two most COM
mon forms Of adulteration are
the substitution of cheaper in
gradients for higher priced
ones, the cheapened product
being sold under the name and
usually at the price Of the more
expensive product"

Lioness Keeps Long
Death Watch
On Cubs

2 TOLEDO, Ohio, March 49,,
The long jungle death watch
of Sahara, lioness loaned to
Toledo by the Cleveland zoo,
over her two dead cubs ended
yesterday when Keeper Louis
Scherer, after a struggle, re-
moved the lifeless bodies Of
Sahara's first born and buried
them in little grave in the
rear of the lion house.
For four days the death
watch was maintained with
the little bodies lying between
the powerful paws of the
lioness.
Only twice did she leave
then1-when Scherer entered
the lion house in an effort to
remove the two bodies. On
both occasions Sahara threw
herself fiercely against the
great iron bars Of her cage in
an effort to drive the keeper
away.
Early yesterday hunger lured
the great cat to an adjoining
cage and the cubs were re-
moved.

ELECTRIC HEAT
PNEUMONIA.
I Remedy
Current Applied to Lungs Aids
Blood Flow and MeIts
Congestion.
By WILLIAM RANDORF,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-"Like
the lung"
That was the description today
of the new electric treatment OF
pneumonia which doctors reported
was used successfully on nine patti.
ents at st. Mary's Hospital. These
patients were near death from
pneumonia within the last ten days,
but are now conva1escing.
War experience in treating the
sick and wounded Is credited with
the. success Of the process called
the diatherfnie treatment, which
was introduced by, DIR. H, V,
Broeser, X.ray specialist.
The process consists of introduce
ing high frequency electricity into
the lungs through metal plates
placed directly over tho lobes at.
fected, one On the chest and one.
on the back
increases Blood Flow.
The. electric current creates heat
above and below the diseased or.
gan, ana increases the blood flow
into the lung affected. DIR. Broeser
explained the main purpose OF APP
plying heat to the lungs was to
break up lung congestion. Others
who have experimented with the
new means OF curing pneumonia
are Drs. Joseph Londrigan and
r. B. Nattras.
THE use Of heat for pneumonia
is very DID,. Or. Nattras said. .'The
dfathermic treatment, as the new
method il known, introduces heat
deep into the lungs but without
burning the surface. There is no
electrical shock. Tho patient some.
times complains of the sensation Of
heat. and It is necessary to regu.
late the amount Of heat according
to the different types Of patients"
Outlines Treatment.
The following outline Of how the
treatment ID given was told by DIR.

The electric plates are about "a

don chose to make the race which he
had mentioned four years before.
Sentiment had crystallized in his ia
vor throughout the four years, and it
was apparent during the two years
preceding the democratic primary of
1922 that he was the choice of the
democratic voters. In that election
Judge Brandon received majority
of about 10000, the greatest ever
accorded a candidate in a direct
primary. This nomination ended his
political efforts because it was the
equivalent of an election in Alabama.
Governor Brandon was born at Tai
ladega June 5, 1868. He was the son
of a Methodist minister, f. T. J.
Brandon. Pennies in a minister's
home in those days were valued more
highly than dollars in the ordinary
home of today. He went to work
when he was 1S years old and sup
ported himself. Determined to OBJ
tain an education, he started out to
earn sufficient funds to put himself
through school. He attended first
the Cedar Bluff institute and then
the high school at Tuscaloosa. Then
he took up the law course at the
completed in 1892 after two years
study.
He became interested In the Ala
bama national guard in 1886 when he
enlisted as member of the Warrior
Guards. He was elected a lieutenant
of the company in 1883 and in 1894
was promoted to captain. He volun-
teered for service in the Spanish
American war and was promoted TO
major in June, 1898. This service in
the Spanish American war brought

One of the interesting facts in the
life of Governor Brandon is that one
of his fissr positions was conductor
on horee car in Tuscaloosa. In the
old days street cars were drawn by
horses and mules and Governor
Brandon't duty was to transport the
passengers through tie streets of
Tuscaloosa on tee horse-drawn cars.
Another interesting fact is that
Governor Brandon introduced in the
legislature. then the general assem-

KLANSMEPN IN PARADE
AS VIEWED FROM AIR
WOMEN OF RED CROSS

Stories of Ku Klux Khan activities
have made their impress upon a.
least one Birmingham man.
When Captain James A. Simpson
chief observer of the 1S5th observa
ton squadron, returned TO Maxwell
field, Montgomery, after flying over
the city in formation with two other
planes. he unburdened himself TO his
associates.
Say, fellows" he exclaimed after
struggling with the problem for q
few minutes, what on earth was the
Ku klux Khan doing in that pa
rade?"
Bewi1derment registered upfl the
faces of five men.
"Ku Klux in the parade" came
from every mouth In puzzled tones.
Then light dawned in the mind
of one.
"Oh. shucks. Those white-robed
figures were members of the Red
Cross auxiliary
! And a look of relief spread over the
countenance of Captain Simpson.
Two of The Age Herald staff pho
tographers. who snapped the inaugu-
ration, were guests of the squadron.
