Washington, April 6.-Because
Governor Al Smith has not yet ex-
pressed himself publicly on the ma
tional issues, it is worth while to
look at the platform which he
agreed to support after it had been
adopted by the Democratic state
nominating convention in South Da-
kota.
1t is most improbable that Smith
hadn't carefully scrutinized it in ad-
vance. State law required that he
promise to adhere to it.
w. G. McAdoo, endorsed by the
South Dakota nominating conven-
ton in 1924, had himself been al
lowed to write the platform which
he accepted It isn't likely that
Smiths friends were any stingier
with their candidate.
AS platforms 60, it's not so bad.
1t is quite likely that all its points
will be embodied in the Democratic
platform framed at Houston.
It declares for the rights Of man
as against the rights of wealth and
its most urgent recommendation is
on behalf of agriculture which
"must be placed on q parity with
industry" by immediate adjust
ments in our economic system"
Certainly. Smiths best policy is to
make such q bid for the farm vote.
The next four points declare
against excessively high tariffs,
religious discrimination in public
life, federal encroachment on state
rights and governmental invasion of
individual rights.
Imperialistic ventures against
small nations are denounced, which
is interesting for the fact that
Smith will have to speak up on his
opinion of our record in Nicaragua
and Haiti. Honest and effective
enforcement Of all law" as demand
ed by this platform will surely be
echoed by Smith later on.
The demands for efforts for world
peace, honest government, . fair
deal for labor and Z national policy
for practical idealism are not exact
~ sensational, but the twelfth
plank demanding conservation of
water power resources and - policy

ence to the power trust" squares

IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL

IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL
Have you, who are 50 concerned
about investing in valuable real
estate, ever considered what q fine
piece Of property you possess in
that body Of yours which you have
failed to cultivate and improve
Our capabilities for accomplish.
ing and enjoying ourselves during
our lives depend almost entirely up
on the health Of the physical body.
No wealth we can obtain, nor honor
we can receive, can make US happy
further than we have health with
which to enjoy them, and the value
Of all we possess diminishes in
proportion as we become sick.
The efficiency we develop, and our
ability to commune with our fell
lows, depend upon the way we can
express ourselves through the ply
steal body. We speak with our
mouths. we see with our eyes, we
hear with our ears, and through
these mediums of expression we are
able to make our contact with the
world about US.
Who would take q million dollars
for the loss Of an eye? And yet
how true that every day we
thoughtlessly do things which hurt
our eyes through bad habits and
practices which impair our sight,
cutting down our enjoyment of the
things about us which We might see
and understand.
Our ears become stuffed up from
catarrhal diseases so that we cam
not hear and learn as much through
that sense.
When in health, with what zest
we enjoy delicious food which only
nauseates when disease has de-
stroyed our appetite!
All who are healthy are, there
fore, rich because their fund of life
turns all surroundings into means of
enjoyment. The poorest servant
who is healthy is so much richer
than the feeble millionaire master
who has no means by which he can
enjoy his riches if he does not have
health!
If you were sure you were going
to die tomorrow, how much would
you not give for one more year Of
health and happiness! You would,
without doubt, give every dollar and
every piece Of property you own if
when sick you could once again re-
gain health and all Of its pleasures.
Health is a fortune at interest,
the income from which, economically
used, will support YOU Spending
health foolishly draws on the prin-
cipal. and you will soon find your
self bankrupt. The more you draw
on the principal, the sooner you will
exhaust it, so all over-eating, over
working, loss of sleep, improper
habits, and whatever Injuries the
health will expend your fund of life,
and death will summon you to your
final reckoning.
A strong body is a natural heri-
tage. If you have lived haphazard-
ly up to the present time you can
even now develop a stronger body.
There is a science to physical de-
velopment, and you can learn it the
same as anyone else. If your desires

Here tens of thousands Of fam.

fathers, fathers and children live
and grow up. They are no more z

They know the butcher by the first

Every element Of small commun-

Question: Mrs. F. writes: "The

" good health, due believe to your
suggestions and menus. However, I

throat as if something were press
ing hard on my windpipe. just

Answer: You are doubtless suf-
fering from some arrangement Of
the thyroid gland which would pro-
duce the symptoms you write about.

special articles on the subject Of
the cause and cure Of thyroid
troubles.
Question: G. ]. asks: "Can a
person eat too much celery? Is
one bunch too much in a day."
Answer: ! do not believe anyone
ever hurt himself eating too much
celery. This is one food that seems
to agree with everyone. / am sure
a good-sized bunch is not too much
to use in day.
Question: n. E. asks: "What
causes gas on an empty stomach ?"
Answer: The large amount Of
gas which forms in the stomach and
intestines comes from the mixture
of the acid digestive juices with
those which are alkaline. For in
stance, the gastric juice has an acid
reaction and the bile of the intes-
tines an alkaline one. If the bile
overflows back into the stomach,
the mixture Of the bile and gastric
juice will produce gas just the same
as when baking soda is put into
vinegar.
Question: Mrs. L. F. asks: "What
is the cause and cure Of dandruff
