OUR MORAL ISSIIES

"A minister, addressing the Federal Motion Picture
Council at Washington declares that third of the
ton pictures produced "salacious and ceri-
mental to American ideals of home and religion" and
declares that the fight for clean films is the greatest
moral issue that this country is facing"
That may be quite true, although it is bit hard to
gauge the relative sharpness of the various moral
sues that we are now enjoying Offhand, we would
suggest that the fight establish cean honest city
governments. exempfed by the exposures in Phila-
dephia and Chicago is moral issue that is least as
pressing as this matter of the movies
But of course it is SO much easier to pass federal
censorship law than to get real house cleaning in
big American city

sELLlNG-AND DELIVERING

writer in Forbes Magazine points out that modern
and industry have developed the ability to sell
goods lar ahead Of the ability either to make to de-
liver them.
In the manufacturing end, he says this is resulting
IN constant increase in the adoption of labor-sayine
machinery designed to speed up output. And in the
merchandising end he predicts an enormous increase
in the use of the automatic salesman-the machine into
which you put coin and out Of which you take your
goods, neatly wrapped.
To date these machines have been confined chiefly to
the vending OF cigarets candy and the like The writer
however, believes that in five years practically every
standard nationally advertised article of small mer
chandise will be sold in all cities and large towns by the
automatic salesman.
It's an interesting prediction at any rate

HODGKlN's DISEASE

This disease is usually rare, but
have been receiving many letters
recently inquiring as to its cause and
cure. do not know whether there
are actually a greater number of
cases than usual or whether doctors
are becoming more proficient in
diagnosing this disease.
The first usually noticeable symp-
tom is an enlargement of the lynn
phatic nodes of the neck. cervical
region, under the arms, or in the
groins. The Emphatic swelling may
be in one or all of these groups. The
swelling causes no pain at first, but
some fever is usually present, sell
dom exceeding 102 degrees Fair.
The disease occurs most frequently
between the ages of ten and thirty
live. Seventy per cent of all cases
are males. The disease ordinarily
terminates fatally within a period
Of from two months to three years.
In addition to the enlargement of
the Emphatic glands, the spleen and
sometimes the liver may be swollen.
This is because there is a close ,asso-
citation between the functions of the
Emphatic glands and the spleen.
The swollen glands of Hodgkin's
disease do not form adhesions and
are freely movable under the skin
with pressure from the fingers. u
ceration is rare.
AS the disease progresses there
may be unpleasant symptoms, from
the internal pressure of enlarged
glands, depending upon the location
OF the pressure; If on the trachea or
windpipe, coughing or choking will
result; if on the esophagus, an in
ability to swallow; if in the abdomen;
varying symptoms, such as ]aundice.
due to the presence of bile pigments,
blueness Of the skin, dropsy of the
abdominal cavity, and pain in the
extremities.
Since the Emphatic glands are for |
the purpose Of filtering out toxins
from the intersticial tissues of the
body, it appears that this disease
is of toxic type. Authorities differ |
as to whether. it is tubercular. diph- |
theric, or caused by special organ
ism termed the corynebacterium |
granulomatis maligni. -
The removal of the enlarged |
glands or of the spleen by surgery I
has not accomplished desirable re-
suits in true cases of this disease.
l have found that the best method
OF treatment consists in restricting
the patient to an exclusive acid fruit
fast for from 10 days to two weeks
at time, followed by a we'll bal
anced diet rich in alkaline elements.
