At about the time America en-
tered the World war, there was a
courageous young biological chem
ist in New York named Alfred w.
Mccain, who sought to enlighten
his countrymen on the wholesale
poisoning of foodstuffs through
chemical adulteration, demineraliza-
ton and preservation, which was

Transforming us all into a race of
toothleSS, hairless neuroticS, anem-
les and diabetes, with defective vi
sion, atrophying brain cells and
general moral decline.
This young mans work was out
standing. So much so, in fact, that
strenuous pressure was brought to
bear by the more powerful food en-
balming combines, and the august
guardian of the public health, the
American Medical Association,
against no less an oracle than the
New York Times Editors note: 1t
was the New York Globe) which
had attempted to render the gen.
eral public valuable service by
publishing the results of Mr.. Nc
Cams tireleSs research.
Had the United States govern
ment seen fit to utilize the knowl-
edge of this brilliant young chem
ist, his name probably would have
gone down in medical history along
side of Metchinkof, Pasteur and
Others The United States govern
ment, however, alias pure food and
drug acts, alias Santa Claus, ct al,

the way our brave police chief takes

M. E. Tracy's Dec. 8 letter is based
on so many fallacies that it de-
mands attention. Here are some of
his fallacious assumptions:
That the Constitution is a fair
weather document, to be evaded
during an emergency. That skating
on thin legal ice is a proper caper
for our President. That those who

But Fer Pets

LNDBERGH appears to have
IL extended his resentment to
the entire newspaper business with
few pet exceptions.
1t seemed to me that he was badly
handled by his press agents from
the beginning. Any publicity op-
orator should have known that the
papers and picture services would
nave to cover Lindbergh from Paris
on and should have reached an I'M
derstanding as to how it should be
done with the least inconvenience to
MN and the best results possible I'M
der the circumstances to the press.
instead Of which he goes off on
long flights, refusing to tell any one
which way he is going or where he
might sit down, and the result is
that the news and picture agencies
cover all points and make much
more trouble for him and work and
expense for themselves than would
be necessary under a considerable
working agreement.
If the Lindberghs had fallen into
the sea the time they disappeared
from England on their fight for
France, the whole world would have
demanded the story. But he made
it as hard as he could for the pa
pers to cover him, and the result
was that they covered him any
way and were laying for him to
make sure he wouldn't elude them
when he returned to New York.
Lindbergh insists that inasmuch
as he minds his own business the
world ought to let him be. Unfor-
tunately, that just isn't the way it
IS. He is one of the few gods this
country has, and whether he owes
the public anything or not he will
have to pay something as the price
OF his fame, celebrity, glory. adula-
ton or what. 1t certainly isn't the
demand of his public or of the
papers, either, however, that he paws
with his life and that of his wife.
II he would lean a little. the pa
pers would, too. The press is not
only tired of the great expense
which he imposes by his current
way OF doing, but always afraid Of
being scooped and downright jittery
for fear that some time some news
papership might cause a crash that
would kill the Lindberghs.

Arrays More Cameras

THE planes which gave Lindbergh
4 so much trouble as they COW
cred all the airports around New
York on his arrival home were up
not so much to get pictures as to
make certain that nobody else got
any which they didn't have.
If Lindbergh had agreed to be met
| and photographed by one ship the
picture companies would have been
able to save lot of money and
bother and would have let him 9TH
erWise alone in the air. But Lind
bergh challenged them to catch him,
and he and his wife could have been
killed in a crash to provide some
! photographs which the papers then
would have been ashamed to print.
He ignores the fact that though
photographers may crash they out
number him and that there always
will be more of them to chase him
around unless he agrees to hold
still or the papers agree to boycott
such pictures. But there is only
one Lindbergh and one Anne.
Lindbergh tired quickly of news
paper attention but he can't cancel
the public interest in him. He must
be covered. He had two accidents.
one in Mexico City and another in
China, which constantly remind the
papers and the news services which
handle both news and pictures that
even the master isn't crash proof.
He particularly resents an incident
which occurred during his honey
moon. A photographer came off
in speed-boat, hailed his boat
which was anchored in a cove and
demanded that he and Mrs. Lind
bergh pose for pictures. Mrs. Lind
pergh wouldn't and the speed boat
then c1rcled his boat for hours. kick
ing up a wake which bounced it
around until the speed boat ran out

boat with rifle that would have been

and the newspaper business would
nave said o. K. too.

By Arthur Main.
Not having taken any part in the
discussions relative to our national
financial troubles being INDUCED in
by your correspondents, and having
been asked many times to voice my
views. I make the following sug-
geStions, with the idea in view that
any criticism should contain a pos
sible remedy:
Why should it not be to the best
interests of large majority of our
citizens for the national government
to-
Cease the issuance of bonds which
are nontaxable, the interest upon
which bonds must be borne by the
small home owner and other owners
of real estate in the form of taxes?
Such bonds can have no appeal to
the large majority during these
years of unemployment and scare
ity of the dollar. And why not stop
the annual interest now being paid
out on the present outstanding gov
eminent bonds by the issuance Of
new currency for their redemption,
thereby effecting this saving to the
taxpayer and at the same time
causing the holders of the bonds to
seek other investment for his funds
so realized?
This would take a great burden
off realty, the home owner, if you
please, the backbone of the nation
I would not favor initiation of the
currency only for the purpose of re-
demption of the outstanding govern
ment bonds, and because it would
have the two-fold effect of relieving
the tax burden on realty and at the
