His Friends Mourn Him

Few individuals In North Dakota
public life had as many warm, per-
sonal friends as the late Senator
Frank Hyland, who Is being buried
today at Devils Lake.
Many disagreed with his ideas on
public policy but they liked him per-
sonally just the same. even though
he always refused to compromise his
views. His warm smile, ready per-
sonal sympathy and big heart took
care Of that.
That he was q valuable citizen
none will deny, for he always direct
ed his efforts toward better state
and better community. In the
realest sense he was q builder-of
men as well as Of things-and 1t is
because Of that fact that he prob
ably would like to be remembered.
For Frank Hyland was a very hui
man individual and interested In the
people about him. Nothing gave him
greater pleasure than to assist a
young man or woman to advance. He
was always ready to help.
Could there be finer epitaph?

In one of your answers you sug-
gested that q person complaining Of
acid stomach should avoid seasoned
sauces, catsup, mustard, vinegar, to-
matoes, oranges, grapefruit, cheese,
nuts, tea, coffee, beer and pastries.
To settle $40 bet kindly tell me
whether oranges, grapefruit, lemons
and other citrus fruits do not actual
ly prevent or oppose acidity? (McG.
F. j.
Answer-No, they tend to stimulate
increased secretion Of gastric juice.
You have confused excessive acidity
in the stomach, with the reaction Of
the blood and tissues. The citrus
fruits tend to prevent or oppose
"acidosis," which Is the term mean
ing abnormal lowering Of the con-
slant alkalinity Of blood and tissues.
Citrus fruits or their juices or bev-

A Simple Idea Works

A convict In CALIFORNIA; Folsom
prison, according to press dispatches,
has invented q method Of making
hydrogen at q cost about one forty
fifth of the present one.
The man did his job in Z small
room off the warden's office, it is
said, using q make-shift apparatus
composed chiefly Of four salad dress
ing jars, q single dry cell, and some
odds and ends Of tubing and so on.
Engineers who have examined his
method believe it may revolutionize
the hydrogen industry.
We have no notion whether this
will be the case, and the price of
hydrogen doesn't affect us much,
anyhow-but somehow we hope it all
works out as these optimistic reports
say. It's the kind Of story that ought
to be true, even II 1t isn't.

Warrington, Feb. 1.-The idea Of
. government controlled central bank
= very far from dead.
One Of these days, Congress Is like
II to be asked to superimpose It On
the Federal Reserve structure.
President Roosevelt until recently

Of the plan Is being worked out.
The necessary legislation may not
b asked In the near future-and

But there's q feeling In the New
Deal family that q central bank
might, after many attempts through
other means, b the best instrument
for loosening credit.
It's held that the Reserve system
isn't elastic enough and has restrict-
Cd credit operations Of local banks.
A central banking system might
carry certain compulsory require

would b operated to liberalize credit.
Working under the president and
with the treasury, It would be the

and securities, regulate the supply

act as the governments agent in

Crime Can Be Halted By
Being Exposed

The crime problem, like the poor,
Is one OF those things that always
are with us. A great many citizens
have expended much honest labor in
recent years trying to find out just
why and how the underworld man.

youthful recruits; and often enough
some investigator reports that one
big reason is the fact that news

sure: but 1t Is heard fairly fire.
quently, and 1t has bothered number
of high-minded and conscientious
folk. An excellent answer is to be
found in testimony given not long
ago before the Senate subcommittee
on racketeering by DR.. Carleton
Simon OF New York, associated with
the New York police force for the
last IS years, as criminologist.
The task of uncovering the elem
ents that create crime, says DR..
Simon, lis made greater and more
difficult by the vast confusion Of
public thought" which arises from
this effort to hold newspaper crime
stories culpable.
Some people, remarks DR.. Simon,
demand that every medium of intel
1igence, education, and entertainment
be made completely harmless to the
subnormal mind of the delinquent
child. And it does not take the doc
tor long to carry this thesis to Its
logical-and absurd-conclusion.
Details Of q train wreck, wildly
presented, would be too narrowing
for a sensitive adolescent mind.
Therefore-let the press keep silent
about all wrecks on land or sea.
Murder stories affect those with
strong homicidal tendencies. There
fore-let no newspaper ever mention
any murder case.
Congressional debates, with their
mud-slinging and partisan criticism.
can give q child dangerous con-
tempt for political institutions. Hence
we must have no more reports Of the
activities Of Congress. no more ex-
posures Of malfeasance in office or OF
derelictions of duty by public Of
ficials.
And DR.. Simon remarks:
"A truly comprehensive research
OF the causes of crime requires
study OF every influence, good or bad,
brought to bear on our youth.
Heredity. parental guidance and
home life, physical influence, assocla-
ton, school and church influences
must all play their part.
I'VE cannot hope to solve the prob
lem Of crime In relation to youth by
drawing the curtain down upon
crime"

INVOLUNTARY OBESITY

It may be that these types Of obe-
sity due to deficient ductless gland
function are congenital, that is, the
glandular deficiency is present at
birth but the effects become mani
fest only after lapse Of years. In
the type Of obesity due to failure Of
the pituitary gland function the girl
or young woman, perhaps all in few
weeks, acquires girdle Of fat around
the hips and across the middle Of the
back. and fat pads above the knee on
the inside Of the thigh and perhaps
about the lower third Of the leg.
piano legs" At the same time the
face, neck and the upper half Of the
body seem almost emaciated, by COM
parison with the lower half, except
that there Is likely to be an unsightly
pad Of fat on the upper arm.
There, there. That's enough. The
chief characteristic Of hypopituitary
obesity Is the disproportion between
the upper half and lower half OF
body, and especially the disprepor-
ton between the waist and hip meas
urements. The perfect feminine fig
ure has waist measurement Of 20
inches and q hip measurement Of 40
inches woman aged 80, IS inches
talD. Perhaps should say rather
the conventional feminine figure-it
Is an arbitrary ideal arrived at by
measuring Greek statues and modern
women. The average Of $1,000 In
sured women was height, "a inches:
weight. 1873 pounds.
To bring about not only reduction
but redistribution, Of fat Is the pur-
pose Of treatment in these cases Of
hypopituitary obesity.
In some cases this Is best accom-
plished by hormone, endocrine, duct
less gland treatment alone. In other
diet and exercise will give satisfac-
tory results without any medication.
In most cases, however, q judicious
combination Of dieting, exercise and
glandular therapy Is advisable. In
any case it is q Job for a doctor, and
the doctor must be good one.
Don't go way mad. I'm going to
offer several tried and true diets
when we get around to that part Of
the course. No freak or fad stuff,
though. II you're looking for Holly
wood hokum or propaganda for the
fruit raising and importing industry,
try elsewhere.
just to give you an idea and little
encouragement let me say that 1t is
q scientific fact and not mere as
sumption that an individual may
gain 20 pounds In q year by eating
one extra slice Of bread and butter
each day, say as q bedtime snack or
between meals indulgence. BY the
same token an individual may re-
duce 20 pounds . year by eating one
slice Of bread and butter less than
his ordinary habit.
All, but what Is the poor girl to
do who has periodic seizures of raw
enous craving for candy or sweets Of
one kind or another? That girl
should never attempt any fasts or
even rigorous restrictions Of diet. She

Mr.. Lewis Explodes q Queer
Notion

The critical gentlemen who tell US
what books are worth reading seem
to have been put on something re-
eembling q spot by Sinclair Lewis,
Nobel prize winner.
Mr.. Lewis just has written q new
novel, and in it he has reversed his
field, to sing the praises Of the
American business man.
He presents two characters. . ho-
Tel man and playwright. and makes
every contrast between them favor

gives himself to his job because he
loves 1t and not because he wants to
get rich.
The playwright Is . loater who Is
Interested solely IN the money and
fame his writing viii bring him.
BY this contrast, Mr.. Lewis says
h,untly that the American business
man often has much more Of the
.artistic spirit" than the artist him
self.
Now this seems to have the critics
running around In circles. Their
comments have been varied. but
mostly they agree that Mr.. Lewis

attention to the subject Of attorneys
In general.
As q profession, lawyers don't get

that they are more concerned with
the letter Of the law than the spirit
Of the law. At least It looks that
way to the layman.

serves as an illustration. The wi
dow Of man who was killed sought

to settle. Some way or other she
was talked into taking the case to
court and won larger award than
the city offered. But the attorney
took nearly half the sum In fees.
The widow was III advised to 60

known It would cost the widow more
by going to court than to have set
