The goal posts were the private property of the

Then the HarvardS went down to Yale and won

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

TINE reason you are assured considerable de-
l. gree of safety from many infectious diseases IS
the realization that prevention Is perhaps Cne most
important factor in wping out such diseases Iooay
scientific medicine prevents the spread Of serious dis
eases which used to destroy hundreds OF thousands
of lives.
One of the best ways to prevent infectious disease
is to keep away from those who have IT, however,
an infected person isn't the sole factor on spread Oh
disease His sputurn and other excretions OF the
body NAV carry the germs, and unless proper means
for destroying the germs in excretons and secretons
are developed, diseases are spread by this meCnoo.
The Roman empire, it is said, fell because OF
malaria Malaria was called in early days because
it was believed the disease came from bad air. To-
day we know it is transmitted by mosquitoes.
The food for Rome came from the country dis
trics around it, These districts were ideal for the
breeding of the malaria mosquito.
TO-DAY malaria is not seen in the northern parts
l. of the United States, because the swamps are
drained and the mosquitoes destroyed In some Of
our southern communities there is still good deal
of malaria but persons ward of the disease by TAX
ing qInine Besides the states are working on con-
troll Of the mosquito problem, that it Is safe TO say
that malaria will be stamped out Of the United
States exactly as yellow fever and plague.
Yellow fever is spread by the mosquito. but elimi-
nation of cases Of the disease and the successful
mosquito campaign have ended 1t in this country.
Plague Is spread by rats. In China and India it
is still frequent disease and kills thousands. 1t has,
however, been barred from this country.
When ships come from China and India, they
are not allowed to land until all rats them have
been destroyed.
NNE Of the diseases which we have not been able
~ to stamp out completely is typhoid fever. This
malady is spread by contaminated food and water
which have into contact with the excretions OF
a person who has had this disease.

The American Federation of
Labor knows the answers, but it is
not talking.
Six weeks ago it sent out ques-
tionnaireS to every candidate for
the senate and house of repre-
sentativeS, covering these points.
The replies it received were turned
over to state branches and local
unions for the guidance of their
members. They have not been
made public.
The National Association of
Manufacturers sent out similar
missionaries, but it, too, has
been silent about the replies.
This is the first national cleo
ton in which the QUESTIONABLE
has played an important part.
Advance pledges were useless
when the incoming congress did
not take Office until thirteen
months after election. The lame
duck amendment to the Consti-
tuition eliminated the long period
of marking time and made it pos
sible for constituents to demand
exact pledges on current issues. In
future congressional elections, tab
ulations along these lines probably
will be ready as soon as returns
are in.

ITO some extent the Democratic
Il vote tells the answer so far
as unemployment insurance is
concerned. President Roosevelt
has said he will back social Sc
curity measures and candidates
who made support of the New
Deal their principal pledge pre-
sumably will go along.
But the administration is on
record against the thirty-hour
week and is silent in regard to
stronger guarantees on collective
bargaining. President Roosevelt
is extremely anxious, himself, to
know what success the A. F. Of L.
has had in pledging candidates.
IF neither the United States nor
l. Canada has ratified the treaty
by July IL, 1885 the agreement
may be cancelled.
No adequate poll has been made
to show how incoming congress-
ment stand on initiation and other
monetary issues and on payment
Of the cash bonus.
Nine attractive federal posts
await causalties of the election.
President Roosevelt has made few
appointments in recent months
and is in a position to take care

Then, suddenly, southern Ohio
peace officers flushed two men
