 Woodbridge N Ferris, the school teacher, shattered the rock ribbed Republicanism of Miehi- gan when he overcame normal Republican majority of half mil lion votes and was elected to the United States Senate in 1922. He battered down sacred tradition of the Wolverine state-a tradi- tion inviolate for 70 years that no Democrat could be elected to the upper house of congress from Michigan-an won the senate seat from Charles E. Townsend by a margin of 13.000.
 Good Gray Governor"
 Michigan's good gray gover- nor" as Senator Ferris was call ed during the two terms he served as the states executive, was in his seventy-first year when he en- tered the senate; a thin. spare. slightly stopped figure, with lean, spectacled face and eyes that flashed energy and power. He was always the schoolmaster. rarely the politician. He was a dynamo, a bundle of nerve force, fighter in the ranks of democ- racy more because of his cnthusi- asm for it's principles than for any emolument the party might con fer upon him. M

Needed Foods.

This Is for you who wish to reduce.
There are certain foods you must eat,
many you must not. My first advice Is
to get a table of calories (they are
published in this space every now and
then, and can easily be cut out and
pasted on card or in book where
they can be consultedD, and regulate
your diet by this as much as you can.
1t does not so much matter IL you
forget the exact caloric value of GER
tain foods. The important thing Is
that you will gain a general idea Of
their value and be able to choose your
menu accordingly. Besides, certain
foods have like caloric values, and this
helps you to have variety.
However, the following foods should
be included daily. so you get bal
anced diet Half a pound Of some
green vegetables, lettuce. asparagus,
spinach, green's of any variety, water
cress, cabbage, or some other watery
vegetable, like celery OK tomatoes. Not
much caloric value to these things, un-
less they are cooked with sauces or
fat Less than so calories to a half
pound is an average and a half pound
is lot in this case.
A half pound of some less watery
vegetables. carrots, onions, beets; In
fact, most anything but potatoes or
large yellow beans. Consider the
caloric value of these between rs and
100. And add to this quite lot of
fruit, as much as 200 calories worth

large dish of apple sauce for dinner.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT

a broad view of human health is the
mind doctor: he gets nearer TO the real
you than all the rest.
You have teeth and eyes and ears
and legs and lungs. but you are your
mind. Mind doctors treat what we
can insanity. but they also treat the
far more common kinds Of nervous
ness, fears. incapacities, peculiar be-
havior, strange conditions and any
thing and everything that n1terferes
with mental fitness.
The Great War has made us familiar
with such cases as ''shell-shock, IN
which soldiers were temporarily blind

have here q helpful insight into the
treatment OF mental disorders. It is
medicine combined with psychology.
The psychologist considers normal be-

Examination of the Chest,

A large part of the laity still cher
ishes a notion that 1t is possible by
means of X-rays to look into the chest
and see Just what is wrong there. With
the patient harboring such childish
fancy, It Is not surprising that some
X-ray technicians are inclined 70 m
terpret X-ray evidence in an arbitrary
fashion and TO assume that 1t warrants
a positive diagnosis Of tuberculosis IN
the lung, for instance. without regard
to the clinical evidence.
Discussing the problem OF diagnosis
of chest conditions In children, DR..
Joseph Brennemann mentions three
successive cases In which o competent
and conservative x-ray technician or
specialist made a positive diagnosis OF
| tuberculosis from the films even though
the Piruuet (skin tuberculin) test was
negative in all cases. and in all three
cases the autopsy revealed not a trace
OF tuberculosis
On the other hand X-ray exani-
nation may reveal some very convlnc-
ing evidence Of tuberculosis In lung
that by ell physical tests and all clini-
cal study Is not even under suspicion.
Physicians with extensive experience
hesitate to interpret the X-ray picture
of the lungs in case where there Is
question OF tuberculosis. How can the
mere technical X-ray expert be so GER
| tain about this meaning OF the vague
lights and shadows In the negative?
There is one form Of tuberculosis.
acute military tuberculosis. In which
the X-ray picture may settle the dag
nosis before the symptoms and physi-
cal signs become sufficiently manifest.
But even here sometimes the X-ray ex-
pert is verconfident-his picture def
inately shows the small tubercles scat
tered throughout the lungs, But an
identical picture may be given In GER
tain cases OF broncho pneumonia when
there certainly Is no tuberculosis and In
fact the patient makes prompt re-
