ployment curve fiattel this

Every effort has been made
through the depression, he
pointed out, to provide Tor the

SALT is SUMMER MEDICIN-
AL NECESSITY

A carton of pure table salt.
kept in the medicine chest this
summer will take care of many
of the little ills and annoyances
that crop up with the coming
of hot weather.
The glare of the sun on the
road and the collecting of fine
dust on an automobile trip are
frequently very irritating to
the eyes during the season OF
the year when most of us are
outdoors. To relieve the eyes
an eye wash should be made of
warm salt water, using 70 tea
spoonful of salt to a pint of
water. This is very soothing.
Hiking, tennis and other
forms of outdoor activity in
which leg exercise is called into
play sometimes cause tired.
aching feet. But this need not
spoil your vacation, for you
can put new life into your feet
by bathing them in hot salt
water. This stimulates the
circulation and removes the
waste products which are re-
sponsible for the fatigue. A.
double handful of salt should
be added to a basin Of hot
water.
AS for mosquito bites and the
tiny bites of other insects
which are identified with many
of our summer vacations-here
too a carton of pure salt comes
in very handy to relieve the
itching. Add a small quantity
of water to a mixture of VI

TEETH AND HEALTH

OFFENSIVE BREATH
HALITOSIS


Halitosis is dental and
medical term meaning abnor-
mally disagreeable offensive
odor coming from the mouth
or breath. This is something
that we are all sure to suffer,
sometime or other during our
life either for a shorter or long
er duration. This very en-
barrassing disagreeable odor is
not exactly a disease but a sym
pton, indicating that it arises
from some unhealthy and I'M
hygienic source some where in
our bodies.
The causes of these odors are
very numerous; they may be-
general, local, or temporary.
Some local causes are as fol-
lows:
Diseased infected teeth and
roots, decayed or carious teeths
diseased inhamed or pus dis
charging gums, unclean masses
of food particles adhering
around the necks and between
the teeth, diseased infected
tonsils, and various nasal ca
larrhal conditions.
Some of the temporary caus-
es are as follows:
Certain intoxicating drinks,
some drugs, certain type Of
foods, and tobacco.
Some of the general causes
are as follows:
General unhygenic condi-
tions, various form of stomati-
tbs, over indulgence of food,
diabetes, syphilitic LESSONS both
of the nasal and oral type, GER
tain cancerous tumors, i'm
proper food, various type of
respiratory disease, chiefly in
testinal, and gastric disturb
ances.
In treating Halitosis try to
locate it's causes, especially
along the entire digestive tract.
If there is some form Of hind
rance in the process Of diges-
ton this partia lily digested
food ferments along the course
of the intestinal tract, thereby.
,causing foul odors. Over in
diligence of food puts the gas
trio juices and various diges-
tive organs to an extra amount
of work which they in turn
can not compensate for, there
by, causing some form of indi-
gestion, which in a majority Of
cases causes a foul odor to be
emitted from the mouth.
The uses of various antisep-
tics and mouth washes gives
only temporary relief. The
causes must be located and COR
rected. Have your mouth and
teeth examined by your dentist.
Decayed teeth must be given
the proper attention and If
necessary have them X-rayed,
also have your family physi-
clan examine you and prescribe
the proper treatment.

~ sss ls IS 1T iass every la 3sss
has bodies of steel reinforced by hardwood?
Why is it that every make of car selling for over
$4,000 uses bodies of exactly the same type? Why?
For the same reason that Chevrolet uses it
exclusively, and refuses to resort to anything else:
Because every test and every experiment has
definitely proved: STEEL ALONE is NOT
ENOUGH Neither as strong, nor as safe, nor as
quiet as body of steel plus hardwood.
The trouble with steel alone is that it stands just
so much shock and punishment. Steel alone is also
inclined to rumble and rattle. Steel simply can't
do a job all by itself, any more than wood alone
can! BUT-when you put the two together-a
heavy staunch steel body over tough, solid hard
wood-then the hardwood reinforces the steel

N CARL BLOCKS
JOB SHIFT

Two employees paid different
salaries may not shift jobs and
salaries, whether voluntarily or by
administrative order. under the
terms Of a ruling today by Comp
troller General j. R. McCarl.
The Department of Commerce
raised the question with respect
to two radio operators. The one
holding the more important job
and receiving the higher salary
was considered less competent
than the other, and the idea was
to shift their jobs and salaries.
Mr.. McCarl says no. 1t is all
right to denote the higher-priced
man, but the other cannot be
advanced to fill the vacancy
thereby created except by ap-
proval of the President.
A similar condition in the Light
house Service, whereby 1t was
planned through a series Of ad-
vancements to replace a retiring
employe and save his salary, like
wise was disapproved.
The Comptroller General held
that to increase the pay of two
employees. as would be required
under the plan, would necessitate
the approval of the President. and
that the fact tat money would
be saved could not be advanced
as justifying giving these in

EVEALS HOW DRECTORATES LINK MORGAN FIRMS
ROOSEVELT SON
HITS TAX LAW
LOOPHOLES

BOSTON May 26 G.N.SD.
The Senate investigation of the
affairs of j. P. Morgan and Com
pany is not to perseCute the
financier but to awaken the
public to the loopholes and the
inequalities of the law and so
arouse public opinion that no
group, no matter how powerful
it may be, financially, may block
a change which will rectify these
errors of the past
That was what James Roose-
velt, eldest son of the President,
told a New England radio audi.
ence last night in his tenth talk
over the Yankee network.
The reason Morgan paid an in.
come tax in England during the
years he did not pay one here,
young Roosevelt explained, was
that in that country ordinary in.
come is separated from capital
gains and losses. That is what
should be done in this country, he
said.
4OullS ILOOSSNClI Sdu.
"The honesty and integrity
of the firm of ]. P. Morgan
has never been questioned, and
is probably its highest asset
in financial dealings both here
and abroad.
"This investigation is being
conducted for a definite pur.
pose. 1t is absolutely valueIess
and indeed totally unfair to
those who are brought into it,
unless from the proceedings
very definite conclusions are
drawn and very definite steps
are Immediately taken to rec
tify the obvious Ioopholes of
the law and to remedy what.
ever unfair advantages may
now be available to those in a
special group"
The Presidents son questioned
the right of the Government to
establish tax exempt Government
securities. He said:

second place the ordinary bust.
