They have tried to prove the prac-
ticability Of the atomic theory as
applied to the human body.
In this respect the laboratory
seems to have been haunted by the
ghost of the late DR. Albert Abrams,
of San Francisco, whose electronic
reaction machines created a Juror
in medical circles. A Scientific
American investigation declared it
impractical shortly after Abrams
death.
But DR.. Burnett has contrived a
new oscilloclast, designed to heal
disease by electric force. and has
had the cooperation of an expert
electrical engineer. They are going
to demonstrate their device before
scientists in Chicago and invite
strictest investigation.
Dr. Burnett declares he has no
commercial interest. He is quite
wealthy. If science declares his de-
vice to be valuable the world is well
come to it.

is founded on the promptings Of
the human heart and the desire to
cleanse all political parties Of the

warped the very fibre upon which
they were originally founded.
Labor's support Of La Toilette is
based on the fact that he has ever
been willing to risk his political
standing by advocating measures to
make Government more responsive
to the will and wishes Of the people
For Popular Election
1t was he who advocated the
popular election Of Senators when
his party denounced him for his
"radicalism
1t was Robert La Toilette who
advocated the Seamen's Act when it
was unpopular. and mistrusted. and
hated by all the so-calIed conserve of
wealth.
It was he who has been a pioneer
in the movement of taking politics
out of the field of contending forces
and bringing it under the control Of
intelligence by making available
legislative experience and research
on related fields
Robert NJ La Toilette has been a
leader of leaders. a pathfinder in
political progress, a fearless foe of
greed and exploitation and a cham
pion of the rights Of the people His
long public career has ever been d.
rected and sustained by faith in
humanity. high ideals Of public serv-
ice and the duty Of citizenship.

He said there was a smaller def

Although it does not pay its way

But it is something.
While most Government depart

From All Parts

Commenting on the total OF 6,2O1
for Coolidge. 6.17S for La Toilette
and 2,942 for Davis, The Farm Jour
nal says: These figures are from
all parts Of the United States, but
chiefly from the important agricul-
tural States of the mid West, where
the vote is being taken by The
Farm Journal on r. f. D. routes"
The significant fact in this poll is
the close division of strength be.
tween Coolidge and La Toilette
among the Republican farmers. If
a like situation exists among the
farmers in Ohio, Michigan and Indi-
ana, the industrial vote In the cities
and among railroad employees is apt
to sweep these three States together
with the entire West and midwest
into the La Toilette column.
Even Pennsylvania is in the doubt
full column, under these circum-
stances, when the fact is considered
that Harding and Cox together got
less than two million votes in 1920
and 100000 eligible voters stayed
away from the polls.
