Political Trends

AS the campaign grows milder,
whispering" gives way to trends.
Most everyone is seeing them
Raskob, Work, Curtis, Robinson, Pat
Harrison and the rest.
Apparently, they contain little
more truth than the whispers, -
and are far less disreputable.
Their value consists in what they
reveal concerning the wishes of
those who see them. You can tell
exactly how a man is going to vote
by the trend he holds.
A democratic trend invariably
Identifies a Smith Booster while a
Republican trend just as invariably
Identifies a Hoover supporter.
Thus far not a single individual
has gotten his wires crossed.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

and other things not suited to the
human system.
The outer or horny layer of the
skin is impervious. II is a dead
tissue constantly sloughing away
in the form of dandruff and this
very sloughing permits the skin to
throw off bacteria.
The skin is thicker in some places
than in others, being about sixteen
hundredths of an inch on the palms
of the hands and the soles of the
feet, and about two hundredths of
an inch in the thinnest places.
Few people realize that there are
no blood vessels in the outer lay
ers Of the various layers that make
up the skin.
The blood vessels come to the
lowermost layers and from them the
fluid passes by a sort Of seepage to
the sweet glands that get rid of the
fluid.

Skin Regulates Evaporation of Body

There are sweat glands to the
amount of over a thousand in a
square centimeter on the palms of
the hands.
Growth of Hair
Hair is considered medically
merely as an outgrowth Of the cells
Of the skin. The hair consists of
cells pushed out by the skin from
an actively growing nest Of cells
beneath the surface.
The hair material is about the
same as that of a callous or horny
spot on the surface of the skin.
The color of the hair is deter
mined by pigments just as the color
of the skin may be, these being
controlled largely by heredity.
People are brown-haired, black
haired or blond, just as they may
be white, yellow, red, black or brown
according to their racial type.

Deny Personal Liberty

personal liberty" we explain, as
though it were easy to understand,
much less to guarantee; as though
it depended on some political ar
rangement; as though people were
not constantly being robbed Of it by
some caprice of inscrutable fate.
The right to live-what does it
prove when disease takes a hand?
The pursuit OF happiness-what does
it include for a cripple or a para
lytic?
The battle to protect people
against tyranny is not entirely one
of law and politics. But for the
doctor, the plumber, the chemist and
the engineer, a good many of us
would not be free as we are.
Health, after all, stands forth as
the most desirable objective, and
even health demands the sacrifice of
innocent victims that society may be
protected.

Ban Typhoid Carrier

Frederick MoerSch is labeled as a
typhoid carrier by the New York
health authorities and sent of post
haste to Riverside Hospital.
Re and his two daughters opened
ar ice cream parlor in Greenwich
Village some six months ago. They
were getting along all right until
an epidemic of typhoid broke out
in the neighborhood, sending some
sixty people to bed and causing
several deaths.
After an investigation the doc
tors declared that MoerSch was a
carrier-one of those peculiar souls
doomed by fate to spread disease
broadcast, though immune to it
himself.
1t was the case of Typhoid Mary
Mallon" over again, and will be
handled the same way.
Typhoid Mary" you remember
was discovered some fourteen yeats
ago, since which time she has been
isolated.
Testifying in the suit she brought
for liberty, one~doctor declared that
if let out she would cause more
destruction than hostile army.

He was the youngest of ten children. AS boy he
showed little interest in schooling and was sent to
Glasgow to learn the trade Of cabinet maker.
One of his older brothers, William Hunter had be-
come famous in London physician and the head
of medical school.
Dissatisfied with life in Glasgow, John went to Lon
don to help prepare dSsectons in his brothers school,
Here his genius first showed itself and within few
years he had become authority upon anatomy.
Next he took up the study of surgery and in 1756
became house surgeon at St Georges hospital.
He next served number of years as an army sur
geon seeing active service During this time he made
many important advances in the treatment of gunshot
wounds.
In 1853 he returned to London to continue his
career as surgeon He gave much time, however, to
research, teaching and writing and soon became
famous.
In 1857 he was elected fellow of the Royal Society
and in 1776 he appointed surgeon extraordinary
to the king.
One of his pupils Edward Jenner, who later be-
came famous as tn originator Of vaccination.
1t was to Jenner that Hunter gave his famous piece
of advice, Don't think try!"
Hunter spent much of his time in tse study OF
comparative anatomy that is, the study Of various
forms of life. He made dssections of many different
types of animals insects and plants, gaining thereby
great insight into various functions Of living organisms

Like fishing for tarpon, it should be
lots of fun, but what good is a tar
pom when you get one? Most sport
is harmless, except that it diverts
interest and attention. We are glad
to see somebody go after the whis-
pererS, but not without apprehen-
sion as to where the habit may lead.
You know what golf has done to
men, and bridge to women. BY the
same token, this whispering hunt
could have an effect on Governor
Smith.
He might become so infatuated
win it that if he were elected
President and some old woman
were to say something he did not
like to a neighbor over the back
fence, he could not resist the temp
L2tion to knock off work and run
it down. OF, if some village wag
made an unpleasant wisecrack, he
might want to suspend the admin
istration to hold joint debate.

THIS is a dangerous year for
i babies to come into the world,
their foolish folks being likely to
name them after statesmen.
But it's now comparatively safe
for an Indiana baby to be born in
a political year, for we have learned
that it isn't safe to name one after
a Governor until the Statute Of
Limitations has taken effect.

Being absorbed in politics, most
people overlooked the fact that

Safeguarding Health

It is easy enough to put people
like Frederick Moersch and Mary
Mallon away, but what about their
rights? What about Moersch's two
daughters, one of whom has just be-
come a widow and mother? What
does society owe him or them, if
anything?
Other people have right to pro-
tect themselves, but have they a
right to do so at the expense of one
individual or one family?
Moersch and his daughters have
committed no offesne, yet they must
suffer that other people may be
safe, must sacrifice their right to
life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness"

How can warts be removed from
the mouth of a dog?
DO not cut the warts in a dogs
mouth because the bleeding may
cause them to spread. Tie a piece
of silk thread around the large iso-
lated warts and they will drop off
in few days. Smaller warts in the
mouth may be removed by swabbing
them three times a day with tea
spoonful of common soda in half
pint of water, or vinegar, or tincture
of i'm chlride Flat warts on the
body can be removed by touching
them with nitrate of silver.

Some years ago, IN a foreign

A week ago the same young
man had occasion to speak
over KGO, powerful Pacific
Coast station of the General

Today he has a letter from
a DIX hound nearly a thou
sand miles from KGO, asking
him for the money.
Imagine the embarrassment
of the debtor when KGO
handed him the letter and on
the other hand the gratitude
of the creditor for renewing
old acquaintance.

VALVES LAST FOR YEAR
Radio Vacuum Parts Should Be
Given Careful Test.


With average usage the radio
vacuum valves in a receiver will
give excellent results for about a
year. At the end of that time they
should be carefully tested and those
that. show any indication of being
below par should be discarded and
replaced with new tubes.
1t is generally poor policy to use
new tubes with old ones, unless the
old tubes test up very we'll. The
changed characteristics of the old
tubes, necessitating higher fllament
and plate voltages to produce aver
age results, cause these excessive
voltages to be applied to the new
tubes with disastrous results.
