Stale Argument Advanced

DOILED down to stale bit of
ID sophistry, the Republican argu-
ment will hinge on the danger of
swapping horses in the middle of a
stream.
We come nearer being in the mid
die of a desert than a stream, but
let that pass.
Why hesitate to swap horses any,
where, if you can make q good
trade?
The question of good trade de-
ponds on what you need, rather
than what you like.
If you think this country needs
more of the Hoover administration,
in spite of its demonstrated indiffer-
ence, ineptitude, and inefficiency,
your cue is to stand pat and take
the consequences.
If, on the other hand, you feel
that something different is worth
trying, don't be scared by the risk.

Calcium Aids Rats

THE family of rats involved in
Il the experiments now are in
their thirtieth generation, Professor
La Mer says.
The two experiments started with
rats from the same litter, thus as
surfing the same hereditary factors.
The rats were divided into two
groups and fed diet of ground
whole wheat and dried whole milk,
the amount of milk being small for
one group and large for the other.
This meant that the group get
ting more milk was getting a diet
richer in calcium, vitamin A, vita
min G and certain amino-acides
Which are constituents of proteins.
The 124 male rats on the richer
diet lived an average of sixty-four
days longer than the 1876 on the
poorer diet. The 1853 females on the
richer diet lived an average of sixty
six days longer than the 1876 on the
poorer diet.
The rats on the richer diet also
showed an increase in the duration
OF reproductive life, the females
showing a decrease of age at birth
OF first young and an increase in
the number of young reared.
Professor La Mer says that ex-
periments showed that the addi-
tional calcium in the diet was re-
sponsible for these results.
Calcium and phosphorus are nee
eSSary for development of the bones
and large deficiencies of these sub
stances result in ricketts,, poor teeth,
and so on.
But deficiencies which do not
show themselves in so marked
fashion still can be serious, in the
opinion Of Professor La Mer.

are below the minimum require
ments desirable for adults, largely
because of an unduly large proper
ton Of sugars, white flour and pro-
cessed cornmeal from which the
naturally occurring forms of CAL
cium and phosphorus have been
removed in manufacture"
When one compares the O.73
grams of calcium and 1.58 grams of
phosphorus absorbed each day by
the average American man with the
two to four grams of calcium and
% to 4.8 grams Of phosphorus in
the daily Finnish diet, the aver
age American dietary presents
sorry spectacle" he says.
Deficiencies in calcium and
phosphorus can be remedied by lib
eral consumption of milk and leafy
vegetables, he says.
The food of the adult should con-
tain a minimum of 0.68 gram of
calcium and 1872 grams of phos-
phoruS to meet daily needs, he says.
Growing children require twice
these amounts to insure proper
growth and bone development, and
nursing and eXpectant mothers re-
quire three times as much, he says.
Calcium and phosphorus are re-
CURED chiefly for the skeleton, about

Editor Times-"We will wait for
the substitute to take the place of
prohibition" is the meaning of the
prohibition plank in the Republican
platform, converted into plain Eng
liSh. So the costly hijackers and
bootleggers' regime can go on and
flourish, so far as it is concerned.
To my mind, anything would
beat the kind of temperance we
have, even the return of the old
time saloons, because it was a
heaven in comparison to our mod
ern Speakeasy, which outnumberS
the former ten to one.
One did know where the old-time
saloon was located, and could watch
it, but the modern Speakeasy, hid
den up the back alley and scattered
over the countryside like it is.

boys and girls, which it is doing by

Being a Republican. actually
am ashamed of my party. We al
ways have boosted about being the
only party that could cope with and
solve any question, but it did not
offer solution of the prohibition
problem.
My guess is that the Democrats
will lick the Republicans, and am
one Republican who don't shed any

Il learned to be calorie-conscious.
Then it was taught to be vitamin-

will have to acquire also the art of

scious.
Apparently it isn't enough to
watch your carbohydrates, fats and

Calcium and phosphorus also APP
pear to play sufficiently impor-
tant role in diet to justify close at
tention.
Their Importance was pointed out
by DR.. Victor K. La Mer, associate
professor OF chemistry in Columbia
university. before a joint meeting of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and the
American Chemical society.
Prof. La Mer reported a series of
experiments carried on with rats
over a period of ten years. These
experiments indicate that the prime
of life can be prolonged and the
appearance of old age delayed by
the addition to the diet of more
calcium and phosphate
The experiments were carried on
by Prof. H. c. Sherman and DR..
Louise Campbell of Columbia uni
verSity, and, according to Prof. La
Mer, constitute the most compre-
hensive studies of their kind ever
devised"

MS manifold sacrifices for the uub-
tic good, I hope ne will have the de-
cency to wipe the cream off his chin.
Mr., Fits Is Hero
PUT in regard to Mr.. Fits, I had
- quite different feeling. Mr..
Fits was booed almost as heartily
as William McAdoo, and yet he lin
gers in my mind as one of the con-
vention heroes. I'm sorry I don't
know his full name. Nobody else
did. He was just Mr.. Fits of Ala
bama.
1t had been expected and an
nounced that McAdoo would lead
the fight against the dripping wet
plank, but the gentleman from CAL
lfornia is no Horatius, and when he
saw that it would be tough to hold
the bridge he retired quickly to pre-
viously prepared positions.
In fact, none of the notable pro-
hibitionistS in the party cared to
put up a fight when they saw that
it would be a losing one. I am in
formed that Cordeu Hull has been
heard of in certain sections of Ten
nessee, but he is hardly what you
would call a national figure.
Mr.. Fits, I imagine, Just hap
pened to be passing by, and so they
drafted him. He took the rap
without any hope of reward what
Soever.
Most of his speech was lost in the
confusion. All I can remember is
the recurrent phrase, It could stand
here for an hour" And think he
did.
He was Intellectual, he was wrong,
and muddle-headed, but he was no
gutter. And so I commend to the
Democratic party, both severally
and collectively, the name of Mr..
Fits of Alabama.
