FOREIGN MARKET SHOWN
Health Chiefs Told Plans
Effect Could Not Be
Estimated.

Prosperity for the corn belt farm
er and economic recovery for the
nation is assured if Americas sur
plus corn crop is converted into
sugar, it was asserted today.
What the general use of sugar
made from corn will mean to the
corn belt states and the nation, as
a whole, is beyond all estimates"
he said.
Starch in the American corn
crop could furnish all our energy
needs. 1t could be used for home
consumption, for manufacturing
beverages and bread"
DR.. Barnard pointed out that the
American people consume more
than 100 pounds of cane sugar per
capita year and that most of this
sugar comes from foreign countries.
Corn Sugar Is Solution
IF American corn sugar were
placed in general use we should
need more refineries, more men to
run them, more farmers and larger
crops" he continued. 1T would end
the depression as far as the corn
belt farmers are concerned and their
prosperity soon would restore good
times to all the nation"
Conversion processes have been so
improved, DR.. Barnard said. that
the corn sugar of today is 100 per
cent pure, free even from the last
trace of water, free from all resi-
dues, fat, protein and unconverted
starches.
Stressing the value of corn sugar,
he declared that it is less sweet and
does not pail the appetite like cane
or beet sugar. He asserted that it
does not injure the desire for other
necessary food accessories.
Corn consumption has been
falling off for the last thirty years."
DR.. Barnard declared. I'VE must
find another market and corn sugar
is our solution"
Sleeping Ill Studied
Different opinions on the means of
communication of sleeping sickness,
gained from study of the recent
epidemic in st. Louis. were adj
vanced at yesterdays session.
Several physicians believe, accord
ing to their statements, that it is
communicated from individual to
individual, while others think that
nf NiTIIc from
mosquitoes.
DR.. w. Lloyd Aycock of Harvard
Medical school spoke to the associa-
ton this morning on breathing
hygiene" He pointed out that many
diseases are more prevalent among
children than adults because the
children have not been taught the
proper hygiene. Diseases which DR..
Aycock mentioned we're infantlle
paralysis, measles and diphtheria.
Personal Hygiene Blamed
Personal hygiene will be necessary
for adults wishing to avoid cancer,
heart disease and kidney ailments,
according to DR.. John Sundwall of
lIlt OlllNclSlly VI MAOlAlSdAA, WIN
spoke this morning. DR.. SundWall
pointed out that while health
agencies have been able to combat
diseases like yellow fever, which are
spread by an intermediate agent
such as the mosquito, the individual
will have to make the fight against
diseases which are the result of
faulty personal hygiene.
Because of the Importance of per-
sonal hygiene for both adults and
children, methods of education in
health are being given more at
tention at the annual meetings of
the organization, authorities say.
Results from these educational
methods in the control of tubercu-
loSis during the last twenty-five
years were brought to the attention
of the association.
