Peoples Voice

Editor Times-After the report of
the Wickersham commission and
the sending of a little boy to prison
for eight years just because he was
friendless and poor, and after our
Governors son was mixed up with
bunch of boys who violated the
law in shooting gun in the city
limits, which is a violation of the
law, and killing man and we see
no account where any of that bunch
was sent to prison. we just wonder
if the law was not just made for
the poor, destitute men and boys
who happen to be without friends
or money.
Then people will say we have
awful times. want to say I do
not wonder at all kinds Of crimes
being committed. 1t is a wonder to
me things are not worse.
A lawyer goes into our criminal
courtroom so drunk he has to be
helped out and he pays no fine.
saw poor man who is out of work
drunk today and two police had
him on the way to the lookup.
I just wonder if the law, and
especially prohibition, was written
on the books for just certain class.
I see where our federal court of ap-
peals decided that the law was vio-
lated by prohibition agents in the
case where our police were con-
victed for conspiracy.
They said there was conspiracy
but said it was our government
agents who committed the conspir-
acy.
Now I wonder if they will indict
those agents and send them to the
penitentiary for conspiracy to vio-
late the prohibition law. If not,
then that shows plainly that the,
law is being interpreted to include
only certain class.
don't see why, if people are
expected to have any respect for
the law why the law does not in
clude all persons equal before the
law. Then if we don't agree with
the brand that is in authority to
execute the law and take care of
the taxpayers money, we are called
un-American.
But I believe a good American
will administer the law and the
funds Of the state, city, and county
properly and equally to all. Every
one that commits a crime against
the law should be called to give an
account, as all should go free alike.

A than is cod liver oil. The sheep,
calf and oxen liverS contain ten
times as much vitamin A as does
good cod liver oil, and 200 to 1000
times more vitamin A than good
average sample of butter.
Vitamin A seems, along with
vitamin E, to bear some relation
ship to the ability of an animal to
reproduce. DEFICIENCIES of vitamin
A are reflected in the chemistry of
the blood.
Quite recent Investigations have
shown the definite evidence that
vitamin A does play part as anti
infective agent. For that reason it
is being advised for administration
to women with puerperal fever and
also for patients with scarlet fever.
1t has been suggested as of use
in cases of chronic intestinal infec-
ton and even for chronic colds.

L only is keeping the opposition
well informed, but is taking issue
with large element in his own
party.
AS you know, he is trying to over
come a deficit of about 100000, 000
in the annual budget. Though his
program has not been made pub
lie, it is said to contemplate pro-
viding half the amount by in
creased taxes and the other half
by reduced expenses, especially for
social service, which includes the
dole.
Conservatives and Liberals are
said to demand that rs per cent be
provided by reduced expenses, while
the trade union element of the
Labor party wants all of it pro-
vided through increased taxes.
Meanwhile, the leaders of all par
ties and factions know exactly where
everybody stands, and the king has
come to London so that he will be
on hand to deal with any emergency
that may arise.
In other words, while each leader
is playing his own game, he is keep
ing the interest of the nation upper
most in his mind. This is partic-
ularly true of Ramsay Macdonald

that vitamin A can cure infections
once the barrier of the mucous
membranes has been passed, or
that it can prevent or cure those
infections which enter the blood
or which get under the skin.
He insists that it is a mistake to
call vitamin A an anti-infective
vitamin, just as it is a mistake
to call it growth promoting
vitamin.
The one correct fact about vita
min A is that it does have value
in raising general body vigor, in
increasing body tone, or general
resistance, a condition that is diff
cult to measure scientifically and
rather hard for the average per-
son to understand.
Its effect is perhaps what used
to be called tonic, except that old
term tonic" has fallen into disre-
pute because of the manner in
which it has been abused by pro-

Gross InopertinenCe

This seems to me a gross piece
l. of impertinence. Night clubs
are legal or not. If license has
been granted, the employe in a
cabaret should have precisely the
same rights as any other citizen
engaged in gainful occupation.
There would be a fearful howl if
policewomen descended upon the
financial district and began to pry
about into the personal affairs of
the stenographers and file clerks.
It may be true that certain night
clubs are frequented by patrons no
better than should be. If any
establishment can be shown to be
disorderly and riotous, then its Ii
cense might reasonably be revoked.
But it seems to me a mistake in
policy to permit a cabaret to re-
main open under the stipulation
that the finger of suspicion is to be
waved constantly above it's head.

THE queerest phase of this de-
= depression lies in the fact that
great deal of the suffering can
be traces, not to lack of necessities,
but to their overabundance.
Too much sugar for the Cuban
mills to run, too much wheat and
cotton for our own farmers to get
a decent price, too much oil for the
producers to make a reasonable re-
turn, and that isn't the worst of it.
Most previous depressions have
centered around a shortage of
money, but you don't hear much
about that, especially in the United
States, where idle dollars mere than
match idle men.

MEDICAL experts and biochem-
AFA lists in laboratories all over
the world are working upon the
problems of the ductless glands.
In that work. perhaps, lies man.
kinds greatest hopes for the future.
These men are attacking a vari-
ETY. OF problems. Some are studying
diseases, hoping that they will find
in some ductless gland the key to
dread disease, as Ranting and
Mcleod found the key to diabetes in
the so-called iSletS of Langerhams
OF the pancreas glands.
Others are studying the thyroid
and other glands, hoping to find
basic information about the func-
tioning of the human body.
Still others are seeking to find
the connection between the emotions
and the ductless glands.
The ductleSS glands, sometimes
known as the endocrine glands or
Stands of internal secretion, are or
gans within the human body which
manufacture certain chemical COM
pounds known as hormones.
These hormoneS are discharged
directly into the blood stream as
the blood flows through these
glands.
These glands play a remarkable
role in mans physical and mental
well-being. 1t is role which TWEEN
tieth-century research is only be-
ginning to disclose.
Mans mastery over himself and
his environment will grow as more
is revealed about these glands.
