DRYS ASK GOVERNMENT
BAN ON "WET" STAMPS
"Swat the Dry" Stickers in Mails
Opposed by New York Anti
Saloon League.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Prohibitionists
have asked postal authorities to ban
swat the Dry" stamps from the mails,
Fred A. Victor, superintendent of the
New York Anti-Saloon League, told the
Kings County w. C. T. U. he had writ
ten to President Hoover, objecting to a
proposal by -prohibitionists to cir
culate the stamps through the mail. He
said the protest had been referred to
the Postmaster General.
The stamps, which it has been pro-
posed to sell to raise a $5,OO0000 fund
to fight prohibition, carry pictures of
insects over which is poised "swatter"
labeled votes"
The basis of the protest lies in the
suggestion of violence in the phrase,
swat the dry"
mo group has any right to make that
kind of an attack upon any other group
of American citizens that believes in a
different policy cf government" Victor
said. 1T is insulting large group of
American citizens, including the Presi-
dent himself"

DIET FOUND CURE
! OF CEL|AC DISEASE
Sugar in Ripe Bananas
Breaks Up System in Body
That Prevents Assimilation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, May 11.-A cure for
celiac disease without drop Of medi-
cine was reported to the American
Medical Association today. Diet alone
does it.
This disease is one Of the pitiful ills
of childhood, causing retarded growth,
serious stomach disorders. growing
weakness and, when too long neglected,
almost certain death.
In announcing the successful diet,
DR. Sidney V. Haas of New York City
said there has not been one recurrence.
The new treatment is an example Of
the rapidly developing science of finding
in two or three commonplace articles OF
food a regulator that enables the body
TO convert the entire diet into its natu-
raj medicine"
One cause of celiac disease is a Pc
culiar form of sugar starvation. No
matter how much sugar a child eats,
the system cannot aSSimilate it. and the
sweet only makes them worse. DR..
Haas found the sugar in ripe bananas
can be eaten freely, and that in the
children's bodies it converts ordinary
sugars into an agreeable form.
The sugar engine acts as a spear
head of a special diet, including milk
from which the sugar has been extract
ed and certain fruits and vegetables.
This diet solves both the sugar problem
and an improper indigestion Of fat,
which is a contributing cause Of celiac
disease 1t also supplies extra proteins
long recognized as needed for these
cases.
Certain potassium salts correct irregu-
lar heart beats and slow down too rapid
heart action, according to John j.
Sampson, NJ. D., of San Francisco.

No Cases Presented.

On the protests against use of swat
the dry stamps on mail matter, Horace
j. Donnelly, solicitor of the Post Office
Department, said today no specific case
has been presented to him and no
stamps have been sent on which the
department could pass
He is of the opinion the only way
such slogans could be barred from the
outside of envelopes is under a clause
in the postal law against the use of
imitation postage stamps.
Protests were received from Fred A.
Victor, superintendent Of the New York
State Anti-Saloon League; William r.
Winter. the Roosevelt Hospital, New
York City, and DR.. L. L. Doane of
Butler, Pa.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8. (P)-This city put in a bid to be the conven- tion city for the Democratic Ma tional Convention late Thursday and made the convincing offer of $150,0OO to the party if they select this city.
 The offer, as agreed upon by the Chamber of Commerce officials, is that $100,O0O cash be turned over to the National Committee as a guar antee and another $50, ,000 be turned over to defray convention expenses.
