Editorial Comment
Corroborated by q Weather Man
(Minneapolis Tribune)

It was said in these columns recently that
the "old-fashioned winter" so called is myth,
if by old-fashioned we mean that the winters
of earlier periods were different from the win
tiers of the first third of the twentieth century.
Winters have not changed their natures, and
living, especially for the enjoyment of greater
comforts, have changed quite materially.
For that comment we now have the official
Endorsement Of Montrose w. Hayes, head Of
the st. Louis weather bureau. In and around
st. Louis there is much talk about old-fash-
Toned winters, just as there is that sort Of i'll
considered talk in and around Minneapolis.
Changed living conditions" said Mr.. Mont
rose, make as believe the winters are milder.
Nowadays we 60 to work in comfortable offices
and bring the children to school in heated
street cars or automobiles. In this part of the
country, we have never had q snowy Thanks
giving, but we believe it just the same because
we read about it in McGuffey's First Reader. !"
The human mind, individual or in the mass,
retains memories of the unusual, and is prone
to forget the usual. In the course Of time it
has way of thinking of the unusual as the
usual, and that manifestly is what has hap
pened to the memories of middle-aged persons
with respect to the winters they have lived
through.
It will not be disputed that in Minneapolis
we have passed through an unusual December.
That is to say, we don't have such December
annually. We have had more than the normal
supply Of snowfall at this stage Of the winter
season. IS any owner Of an automobile is likely
to testify readily. More than ordinary energy

Most Of our srandfathers got up in cold

when there was snow, on sleds and in sleighs.
They had blankets, and they may have had
improvised foot-warmers, but otherwise they
had no protection against cold and wind. Street
cars were unheated and probably were bedded
with straw. There were no fast-moving, en-.

THE CURE OF ACIDOsIs

As I explained in yesterdays ar
ticle, acidosis simply means a low
ering Of the blood's alkalinity. The
blood should be always slightly al
kaline, and anything which reduces
this alkalinity below the norma
will create q dangerous condition ir
the system, which makes the body
subject to many Of the infectious
diseases, and also such disorders as
diabetes, nephritis, rheumatic fever
and arthritis.
The cure Of acidosis is very sim.
pie, and depends almost entirely up.
on changing the diet so that the
blood is properly nourished with the
basic salts, such as calcium, potas.
stun, sodium, magnesium, iron and
manganese. All Of these alkaline
elements are found in the non.
starchy vegetables. such as the
greens and small squeshes.
To get the quickest results in
building up an alkaline blood re.
serve, eat plentifully Of these foods
al exclude for a time the sugars
starches, fats and proteins. "A few
days diet on the cooked and raw
green vegetables will bring back the
normal amount Of alkali to the
blood. After perhaps week of this
non-starchy vegetable diet, 1t is safe
to add small amounts Of protein
such as an egg daily, and about one
fourth Of a pound of lean meat.
For several weeks the denatured
starches should be left out of the
diet, and no sugar used except that
contained in the fruits.
Those who are not averse to TAX
ing q short fast will find that even
quicker results will be obtained
through taking fruit fast for q
few days. All of the acid fruits
contain large amounts Of the aka
line salts, and in their reaction are
truly more alkaline than acid in
their effect upon the blood.
After q few days fruit fast it is
an excellent plan to take the non
starchy vegetables as / have already
suggested, after which the proteins
may be gradually added.
During the treatment of acidosis
large amounts of water should be
taken between meals. It is better
t, use distilled water as this is more
quickly assimilated or absorbed in
to the tissues and passes through
the kidneys with greater rapidity
than the ordinary hydrant water.
It would seem to many that the
taking Of alkalies, such as bicarbon.
ate Of soda, would be the proper
treatment for acidosis, and, al
though this treatment does bring
about very quick temporary results,
it is far better to get the permanent
effect which comes from the diet
treatment.
The treatment with alkaline rem
edies may be condoned during an
acute attack Of some disease which
has come from a neglected acidosis

ers are constantly being rebuked
for their bad manners, il any. Wis
itors invariably comment on the
rough treatment received at the
hands Of burlies during subway and

True it is that the most primal
laws are invoked by men and wo-

Yorker who has committed either

game. All the protests in the

for gentleness will not stop him.

At the Movies
ELTINCE THEATRE

1.-THE Woman on Trial. at the Ell
tinge today and Thursday lends va
riety to the Eltinge program, for it
10 ! dramatic production in contrast
to the uproarious comedy Of Wallace
Beery and Raymond Hatton and the
comedy drama furnished by Clara
Bow which have afforded great en-
tertainment at the Eltinge during q
week past.
From reports it tells q crucial
story in which al women Of all races
and climes confront the world with
a problem Of love, honor and moth
erhood and misunderstanding.
Fortunately this difficult and alb
sorbing role is in the hands Of .
great dramatic artist-many call
her greatest -Pola Negri.
The theme Of 1.-THE Woman on
Trial" is taken from Confession" a
noteworthy stage play by Ernest
vajada, Hungarian dramatist. It
concerns the sacrifices q woman
makes in the name Of love. Caring
deeply for one man who is deathly
i'll, she WEEDS another to obtain
money to resore the first to health.
When her child by the loveless mar
riage is taken from her through .
jealous and deceitful scheme she
runs true 10 the instincts Of woman
and motherhood to. regain the happi-
ness Of which she has been cheated.
Settings, exceptionally colorful,
and backgrounds Of the Latin Quar-
ter Of Paris, frame the action for Q
cast which includes Einar Hanson,
Arnold Kent and Andre Sarti.

Hoover as most likely candidate to Continue
the Coolidge brand of republicanism. There is
hint here and there that Coolidge favors his
secretary of commerce, and most recently Sem
ator Edge, of New Jersey, has expressed the
hope that the Republican choice will be Hoover.
The Hoover camp is especially busy in all Sec
tions of the nation and some very well.timed
publicity has been secured for him. To date,
however, the Hoover boom has been without
enthusiasm. Pennsylvania and New York are
holding aloof, in fact presidential sentiment on

Was the summer of 1927 abnormally cold,
as the sun spot scientists say, or was it really
not an extraordinary season at all, as the

Who shall tell? We have heard people de.

been through, and others just as forcefully as.
sert that it was just as warm as any summer
they ever had known.
