Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN :

CAN you see at night? If not you may have what
~ was recognized as an unusual symptom thou
sands Of years ago.
In the time of Hippocrates, the great Greek who
founded the modern science of medicine, the TAX
ing of liver and honey was found to be cure
Within recent years, the definite relationship OF
the disease to certain errors Of diet has been estab
lshed and the condition can be controlled
definitely. This condition is the earliest sign OF
a deficiency of Vitamin A in the diet.
When the deficiency is complete and long con-
tinued a more serious condition Of Inflammation OF
the eyes develops, called xerophthamia. This c1n-
dtion is however, extremely rare in the United
States.
In Europe, particularly after the World wss.
when there was shortage Of butter and fresh fats.
xeropthaia occurred frequently both in adults and
children.
VOUR body may develop deficiency Of Vitamin
A in a variety of ways
First, the vegetables and fats known to contain
this substance may not 1be included in the Diet
second there be some disease Of the intestineS
which prevents Vtamin being absorbed from the
food and from being stored in the liver third there
are periods in life during rapid growth or during
the infectious diseases when the vtamins are used
up rapidly.
Recently case has been recorded of a civil
engineer who developed disease of the bowel
which made it impossible for him to absorb food
suitably.
He had developed night blindness, the first sign
Of which he noticed when the street lights appeared
amber -colored and dim.
He noticed also that when coming from OUT
doors into the house he would be unable to see
details for five or six minutes The condition oc-
CURED every two or three days.
THIS patient given a generous diet, which
l. contained reasonably large quantities of milk
butter. and fresh vegetables He ate large amounts
Of these and yet did not recover from his night
blindness.
Eventually, however. an operation was per-
formed to take of the bowel condition and after
this le was able to absorb sufacient amounts OF :
the vftanin and was cured.

The author-SenatOr himself is
the subject Of an American bio
graphical-historical classic written
by another famed Hoosier, Claude
Bowers, ardent Democrat, now
new deal ambassador to Spain.

Bowers book, which became a
best seller upon publication.

A LBERT JEREMIAH BEVER-
IA IDGE was born in Highland
county, Ohio, Oct. 6, 1862. His
father served in the union army
and at the close Of the Civil war
the family removed to Sullivan,
III.
Through the roles of plow-
boy, railroad laborer, teamster and
logger, he made his way through
high school and De Pauw uni
versity, where he graduated in
1885.
The college graduate then be-
came a cowboy, but a year in the
west was sufficient and he re-
turned to Indianapolis to study
law in the Office of Mcdonald &
Butler.
De Pauw had discovered that
the future senator was an orator
and this gift caused him to rise
rapidly in both his chosen pro-
feSsion and G.. o. P politics.
He was in demand as a popu-
lar speaker throughout Indiana
and in 1896 attracted national no.
tice by his reply to a speech by
Governor Altgeld of Illinois.
TOUR formidable candidates
L confronted him in the sena-
torial election of 1899, and the
politicians freely predicted that
the young man with his gift of
oratory had little chance.
But, as sometimes happens, the
politicians were wrong.
Not only was the popular, young
orator elected to the United
States senate, but his solendid
record there gave him the re-elec-
ton in 1905.
Climax of his early political ca
reer came in the year 1912. 1t

In any event, there is little
doubt that the Virgin islands are
the land of promise, to judge by
the crowd of passengers now en-
route to that part of the world.
First of all, Governor Paul

Why Waste Time?

LIS obsession is to reduce the city's running
expense of almost 100000 day and if there
is vindctive joy in his way of going about that
can be understood 1t must be fun at that, for a
man to walk on gang of burglars and heave them
out the windows and possibly jail up few Of them.
Mr.. La Guardia yet might be able to jail up a few,
although that is something which seldom happens
in American cities and in the long rum he probably
will have to be content with the satisfaction of just
showing them up throwing them out, and saving the
money which they have been paying themselves.
He saves time too They discussing

would be wholesale foreclosures by

and very good in that he offered con-
structive requirements for the changes
