Discriminating People

There dosen't seem much chance for the proposed state tax on cigarettes and tobacco to receive favorable report from the leg islative finance committee at its hear ing today on bill designed to provide addi- tional revenue for the state by imposition of the same. In the first place Connecticut, along with all other states, is coming to the general conclusion that nuisance" taxes are just what their name implies. and are not productive of the large sums in additional revenue that their proponents claim for them. The move to place state tax is an unpopular one. It has been in every state where proposed. It will continue to be in Connecticut, just as it has been in previous sessions of the General Assembly,
 In an effort to balance its state budget Maryland legislators inserted several com modity taxes, including one on cigarettes, tobacco, and soft drinks Governor Ritchie struck them from the list as unfair and discriminatory What executive wouldn't They stand in the same category as the state tax on gasoline does today. States where this tax has been boosted sky-high aren't showing the returns that were promised or predicted when the increases were proposed and made effective. And bootlegging of gas- oline in those states is today a major prob lem.
 z The same thing. would apply in Connec- tieut if we raised the state tax on gasoline or invoked one on cigarettes. We'd have Bootlegging on both industries with con- sequent loss to the legitimate dealers in both. not to mention possible reduction in antioi- pated revenue from them. Uncle Sam anted the price of postage stamps on first class matter last July. It failed to fulfill ex- pectations of bridging the postal department deficit. The price will undoubtedly go back to two cents inside another year. 'Nui- sance' taxes are all right in their proper place, but just now it's wise man who knows when to tax and when not to. It's obvious that cigarettes are being picked on solely because of the tremendous consump- ton of the same. That is just what Cover nor Ritchie termed it-discrimination.

INHIBITED PROGRESSIVE DEAFNEss

Otosclerosis is the medical term unhappily aplied to a form of deafness that seems 10 pc hereditary in many eases and constitutes at least ore-fourth of all cases Of deafness de- veloping in youth or adult life.
 It becomes obvious when one has heard what the authorities have to say about this con or it's treatment. Here are a few general ob- servations made by biologists who have seen many cases and studidd some of them.
 The deafness develops first at the age of 30 or thereabouts in most cases. Women are more commonly affected than men. The history or other cases of progressive deafness in the fam- fly is noted in nearly half of the cases. Tinnitus (head noises) and some dizziness or vertigo IS complained of in third of the cases.
 s1There is no inflammation of the ear struc- lures. The condition is purely nutritionai change, akin to rickets. Perhaps this is the reason why we know so little about the treat ment of otosclerosis. From the general con- sensus of biologists who have had much ex- perience with the condition it would seem that the less local treatment of the ear or adjacent structures the better. Of course there is even greater urgency to remove or disinfect focus of infection if the examination reveals evidence of a septic focus, than there would be in the ordinary circumstance. But the greatest prom se of benefit from treatment lies in efforts to improve the general hygiene. the patients ways of life, the habits, and in providing the most favorable factors for nutrition.
 Vitamin A is especially important for per- sons with otosclerosis. It is we'll worth while for any such sufferer to take ration of cod liver oil for a season, to SC whether it will not dog in one way or another-delay pro- gress of the. deafness, even imporve the hear ing, or relieve the distress from tinnitus or giddiness For the same reason, to get more Vitamin A, otosclerosis patients should in- clude these items in the daily dietary: Raw milk. cream butter. egg yolk, carrots. oranges. bananas, lettuce, watercress, celery leaves, rad ish tops and green onion tops. In cooked foods, sweetpotatoes, yellow turnips. squash. pump kin, spinach yellow corn, liver, kidney and sweetbreads retain some Vtamin A, though prolonged cooking destroys the vitamin.
 Ostosclerosis victims must overcome all weather air phobia and take advantage of every opportunity for outdoor lie, for the in- fuence of the fresh air and sunlight, the ultra violet, favors normal nutrition too. They should bear clearly in mind that their deafness ear trouble is unlike the infiammatory troubles due to infections, and hence they cannot be guided by the notions of such persons about exposure to cold or wet. Any and all weathers sea- sons are tonic, and that is what the ostoscer- osis victim needs.
 have just hunch, perhaps nothing to 1t. that suitable iodin ration is especially good for one with ostosclerosis. and believe it will do no one any harm in any case-send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for ip- structions for taking the Iodin Ration!

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
A New Race Takes Shape

There is an acute and thought full eva1uation of the forces that shape American character in Frank Ernest Hips "What Is American?"
 Until comparatively recently, MT Hill remarks, the first word that would come to mind in response to that question was the word "de- mocracy." But things have changed a bit, now, and democracy" is no longer the word that explains everything and characterizes every thing. What is?
 To begin with, MT Hill thinks that no one has put enough em- phasis on the influence on human beings of the American lang itself. It's mountains, it's tremendous dis tances, it's vast prairies, its great forests, it's mighty rivers, it's des- erts-there, he says, are like noth- ing else on earth. America, physhi- cally. Is not just a larger edition of Europe or smaller edition of Asia. It is unique and 1t is shap- ing a unique race.
 Then there is the frontier-van- ished forever, now, but still a po- tent force. It, too, is g. factor which no other group of people has had to face, and no one can under stand America without understand ing 1t.
 Other forces, similarly unique, have been at work: vast waves of immigration, mingling innumerable blood strains, traditions and cus- toms; the presence in the land of the Indian and the negro, more potent modifying agents than We suppose; the Puritan tradition, still strongly at work; lastly, the machine, perfected here as mo- where else, still too close to be measured accurately but most pro- found1y important.
 The result? A race almost as un- like the European as the Chinese. hoving on to an unpredictable and momentous destiny.
 Published by the John Day C.. the book is priced at $2.

Sunday baseball in Pennsylvania seems farther away than ever now. The State Senate rejected the bill authorizing it this week by vote of 26 to 24. The pastime is banned now under the states 17o4 blue laws which is enough to exact grim smile from even a fellow out of job for three years. When the blue laws still are being obeyed, though 150 years old, what need has this nation to worry about the future.
