New York, Nov. 21.-Soothsayers
have disappeared from the air!
Nor are they likely to return.
Whether their role be that Of the as
trologist, the numerologist or the
handwriting expert: whether they
forecast your present, past or future,
the broadcasting stations have drop
ped them.
Almost everyone who ever turned
a dial recalls that last winter found
the ether filled with mystical ladies
who were willing to chart the heav-
ems; or ready to send horoscope
pamphlet If you would but mail In q
coupon, or something, and tell your
age and the date Of your birth.
Then, quite without notice, every
one from Evangeline Adams to the
most unimportant psychic went
away for the summer" and didn't
| come back.
The first reason for this was that
the air had become so cluttered with
soothsayers that there was no longer
any novelty. :,
But outside the elmer circle,
you'll hear that many criticisms had
been coming in: that there was q
considerable section Of the population
that complained about superstittous
appeals; that there were certain re-
ligious groups expressing annoyance
that scientific groups stepped In and
that professional groups Of masfcians
| and suchlike had begun to take ma
tional action against mind readers
who were using their talents for any
thing save entertainment.
You may recall that all star gaz-
ers, number readers and the like
asked listeners to send names, ad-
dresses and dates. The presumption
was that q sponsor would see to II
that a fortune" horoscope or read
ing" was sent free. But the tale per.

Infection Of the human BODY from
any cause, indeed any type Of vast
ine or so-called debilitating disease,
IS likely to be followed promptly BY
q deterioration in the quality OF the
blood. This deterioration takes the
form Of anemia. It may follow hem
orrhage, malnutrition, pregnancy, In
festation with hookworm, malaria
Brights disease, tuberculosis. cancer,
or any one Of . number Of similar
causes.
SO much has been learned about
anemia since the discovery Of the
value Of liver in pernicious anemla
that the person with this type OF
disorder can now be treated success
fully in the vast majority Of cases. It
Is recognized that anemias represent
q deficiency in the hemoglobin or the
red coloring matter Of the blood, q
deficiency in the formation Of the
red blood cells, or an increased rate
Of destruction Of the red blood cells.
It IS known that iron Is necessary
for the development Of the product
called hemoglobin, that liver con-
tains some factor which Is Of I'M
portsnce in stimulating the forma-
ton Of the red blood cells and that
the vitamins are frequently Of value
In aiding such formation. There
seems to be no doubt that liver i

difficulty probably lies In the forma-
ton Of the red blood cells In the
bone marrow.
Many infections cause increased
destruction Of red blood cells and at
the same time interfere with the
formation Of blood. Obviously there
fore it is Of the greatest importance
to control the infection rather than
to stimulate the formation Of any
blood cells. II the infection Is brought
under control and the increased de-
struction stopped, the tissue will
probably arrange to supply the blood
cells rapidly.
Investigators in China, Doctors
Keefer and Yang, recently studied
the various methods for stimulating
the formation Of blood cells In vari-
ous types Of anemia. They find that
recovery from anenia due to chronic
loss Of blood IS accelerated following

quently desirable to give large tn
jections Of blood by TRANSMISSION to
overcome the anemia emergency.
Anemias resulting from mAlnutrition
are frequently controlled by giving
well-balanced diets with plenty Of
vitamins and an increased amount of
iron so as to accelerate the forma-
tion of hemoglobin. Anemia due to
hookworm infestation is helped by
iron or liver. but it is desirable to
get rid Of the hookworm as soon as
possible.

Leave us alone It was a tired

and panics alternated. So the
business world comes to the year
1881, with a disposition to 70

Education and Advertising

Many who predicted for radio al
bright future as an educational agent
now are protesting that 1t Is debased
by advertisers. True, some fine pro-
grams are broadcast. But large num-
bers of people sympathize with Lee
De Forest when he exclaims: "Why
should any one want to buy radio
or new tubes for an old set when
nine-tenths Of what one can hear Is

Buffers Warning

DUtIeI > w al uIJ8
Speaking recently at q meeting OF
the National Republican club Of New
York, DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia college, warned
the members that defeat awaits the
party unless liberal platform is
adopted at the Republican National
convention. He offered IA plankS
which in his opinion will liberalize
party convictions. These are. in
brief, as follows:
Repeal Of the Eighteenth Amend.
ment. This heads his list.
Tariff revision which in effect will
place agriculture on a parity with
other industry.
A balanced budget through rigor-
Gus economy and taxation primarily
upon accumulated wealth.
Cooperation with the League of
Nations and World Court.
An international conference on
the question of reparations and in
ter-governmental debts.
Immediate steps toward disarma-
lnent.
Abolition of lame-duck congress.
Social insurance to alleviate un-
employment caused either by eco
non1ic crisis or old age.
More intensive conservation of
natural yesoulces.
Legislation to protect railroads
from unfair competition.
Modification OF Sherman anti
trust act.
Investigation as to advisability of
reconciliation of silver to reinforce
and support the gold standard.
Emancipation Of agriculture from
present conditions.
Simplification of the form Of fed
cral government in the interest ol
efficiency and economy.
Butler has offered some very sound
suggestions. It is doubtful, however
II the Republican party, with Hoover
as the most probable nominee, viii

platform. President Hoover ha:
spoken f0r q continuation Of th'
"noble experiment"
Other features Of the Butler H.
point platform will not cause grea
deal Of friction. Public opinion OF
most Of the planks suggested is fairl!
well fixed among party leaders.
DR.. Butler declares there can be N
room for political pussyfooting II

voters are going to be alert at tn
polls next year. They have had thei
eyes opened during the last fe,

Mr.. Toomey said:
1.-The suggestion that house bill 40 does
not provide for any tax refunds for industrial
GAS and motor fuel users Is based on an entire
misconcepton of our existing law. The re-
fund provisions of our law exist separate AMI
apart from the gasoline license tax provisions
and stand entirely unaffected by such gasoline
fax provisions. The refund provisions are now
in full force and effect and will continue to be III
full force and effect. without any change What
soever. if the people approve house bill 400 AL
persons now entitled to refund from gasoline
tax payments will be equally entitled to a re-
fund after the passage Of house bill 400. :.
This paper is going to support the meas
IRE on the grounds that it was plainly the intent
of the legislature to impose only a cent gas
tax and the firm conviction that no more than
that will be collected from the gasoline users OF
the state; furthermore, that it IS mighty poor
