FEARS THE YANKEES

YIN my tour Of the spring train
ing camps, most rival man
0-g ayers passed over the Yank-
ees with the statement the club
wouldn't get enough good pitching
to be a strong contender.
Stanley Harris Of the Washington
club was one of the few leaders
talked with who didn't lean to that
belief. In discussing pennant pos
sibilities, he stressed the fact the
Yankees would make trouble.
With the first few weeks Of the
season out of the way, I remarked to
Harris that he seemed to have the
right angle on the Yanks, when he
rated the club as trouble maker.
you can't pass over a club that
can hit like the Yankees" replied
Harris. "There is a team that will be
tough to beat no matter what kind
Of pitching it gets. Also those who
dope the Yanks weak in pitching
have another guess coming"

 Friends told police that Mime. Lord, who was the daughter of Dr. Gustave Nernet of Cannes. was pianist and had married the Fall River man in France in 1920. In 1925, they said. she had started separation proceedings. Lord re- turned to the United States and she opened a boarding house here.
 Last year, police learned, Mime. Lord became acquainted with De krupfell at Grasse, near Nice. where both were members of a German back to nature" cult, which was suppressed by the au- thorities.
 Police believe that Mme. Lord. who possessed independent financial means and property on the Riviera, helped De Krupfell financially. The motive for his act was not announc- cd in the confession, but authorities believe a quarrel arose over finan- cial matters.
 Before the body was discovered the superintendent of Mme Lords apartment heard her cry: That's not true" De Krupfell later left the apartment, he said.

What. No Resistance :

Immunity is a good thing-f you

believe immunity is a good thing
whether YOU weaken or not. This, II
seems to me, is the only rational,
scientific conclusion one can uIaW
from all the experimental, emplrieai
and statistical evidence aVallaple.
ANY little bit of immunity you nave
is yours for keeps and no trlning eX-
posure can rob you OF 1t.
Now if / am wrong-and chal-
Ienre any one to point out the flaw IN
INV belief and teaching about this-it
am wrong it is perfectly reasonable
to publish such a thing as this;
'tThere Is a popular delusion con-
corning drafts which 1t is olflcuit
TO dispel even from the minds or the
intelligent. It is commonly Thought
that colds following exposure TO drafts
are due solely to that cause. Iney
are merely the predisposing cause"
This is a contribution from the pen
of one who designates himself, in the
official medical directory. as sur
geon. .,..
If r am wrong and drafts really
make one more liable to eaten any
disease or develop any AIhsss, thSH
it is not becoming for physician to
call the popular fear Of drafts a de
lusion." If q draft can predispose
an individual to an undermined Ill
ness (whatever the doctor may mean
by "colds'J, then it behooves inteIli'
gent folk to beware of drafts and II
IS dangerous and wholly bad advice to
tell them the fear Of drafts Is only a

Let this spokesman continue with
his advice:

FOOD AND HEALTH
BIZ WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
s Food Specialist.
BIZ FANNY z. CORY.

There Is scarcely one of US who
does not remember how his grand.
mother, or some other elderly rela-
tive, baked at the very thought of
shoddy. Although the word, of course,
applies, in the strictest sense, to
fabrics. 1t has long been a synonym
for something that was Of low grade
or quality.
An individual in recent number
Of Good Health speaks Of the neces-
sity for any manufacturer to use
high-grade material. The writer
points out that we are manufacturers
Of our own bodies and that the use
Of shoddy material in the making Of
these bodies is poor business.
Seriously, 1t Is an excellent illus
tration Of the importance of high
standards. Shoddy in our foodstuffs
may lead to such very unpleasant re.
suits as soft bones, ricketts,, blood that
is lacking in iron, and is, in conse.
quence, unable to help the body per-
form its most important functions;
organs that are interrupted in their
work--and these are only few of
the dire results possible.
What constitutes shoddy in food
materials? Just as the woolen fabric
that 10 mixed with cotton does not
measure up TO the nlgneSt STANDARDS,
so foodstuffs mixed with adulterants
fall below such standards. Fortu'
nately, we do not have to trouble our.
selves unduly with this point, since
the Federal food laws protect US and
high-grade manufacturers are Jealous
In upholding the law. On the other
hand, such conditions of adulteration
may be met, and even when additions
to the foodstuffs are in themselves
harmless, they may, by their very
presence, lower the nutritional value
of the foods themselves.
Continuing our question as to what
constitutes shoddy in food materials,
there are several points to consider.
Milk that is either imperfectly pas
teurized, or IL served raw, carelessly
analyzed, may be termed shoddy; but
ter that has been renovated, bread
made from Iow.grade materials-these
are a few examples.
So anything in foodstuffs that tends
to prevent perfection may be term
ed shoddy. Shoddy in the diet may re-
suit. as I said, in so many serious
physical conditions. that it is more
than worth while for us to think
carefully when selecting, preparing
! and serving our everyday meals.
