The strong Kaytse quintet, which

PHYSICAL ~DEGENERACY


| Human nature is a curious thing
America is boasting of her increased
average length of life. Does she stop
to consider that this Is because more
babies are saved, and that physicians
have learned to control and cure, at
least to a large extent, communica-
BILE and childhood diseases?
AS a matter OF fact, more people
are dying between the ages OF forty
and seventy from chronic diseases of
the vital organs: the heart, liver.
kidneys. stomach and intestipes than
e before, and thisat a tune when
there Is more known about Ithe care
and preservation of health 9than at
any time in the worlds history.
Lectures are given upon this Inn
portant subject. Almost every news
paper carries an article on health.
but the majority of the people
either do not read them, or utterly
practical application of them Is con
cerned.
One of the crying needs of the
American people, Is a more normal
balanced existance. They are a ma
ton of "sitters. They sit in automo
biles and ride when they should
walk: they sit for hours in the I'M
healthy air OF moving picture thea
tres, they sit in the spectators stand
and cheer the athletes, and take their

diseases that approach SO stealthly
and insidiously that the first intima-
ton may be a heart attack, or a

The hope of the world is In its

wisely refusing to make any contri
button, either directly or indirectly
to its financial needs.
Ii Is not SO easy to get a paper
printed now days as in years gone
by. Then. all that was needed was
promises Now, with a code in force
that governs all kinds of printing of
fices, which is in reality a national
law, it is quite a different story.
Wherever and by whom the new
paper is published. the promoters
recognize that tney will have to meet
strict code regulations under which
printers work. That makes the going
just a wee bit tougher.
Furthermore, the Holiday associa-
ton is made up OF men, a consider
able number of whom are far from
being Communists. They are sincere
in their efforts in urging the adop-
tion OF laws by which a farmer may
retain his holdings until changes in
conditions make it possible for him
TO grow a crop and start paying out.
Their work is mostly commendable.
They expect to work for these prin-
in Il foreeful and peaceful
manner, but not through any revolu-
t~ionary plan such as Communists
advocate. Consequently, 1t is our
guess that leaders of the new paper
movement. most of them avowed
Communists, are going to experience
considerable difficulty In getting
united endorsement of Holiday as
sociation members for the further
of their radical schemes.
In the meantime, the Fusion ticket
is unq~uestionably profiting from dis
sensions and arguments within the
ranks OF other groups. Taxpayers
and voters apparently recognize that
1t is a time when the selection OF
officers to run the county business
should be prompted by sane thinking,
and not to satisfy personal 6r party
prejudices, or motivated by a desire
to further the growth of the Commu-
mist party in America.
