Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

THE continued craze to get thin now has focused
l. attention on remedy for weight reduction.
1t has been mentioned in various ways, and there
already are the market several patent medicines
containing this drug, known as dinitrophenol
few years ago some investigators found that
this drug. when taken by human being
would speed up greatly the metaboliSm, chemical
action going in the body In fact, large dosage
Of the drug in the end would produce very high
fever.
For this reason the medical profession has been
experimenting with the drug for several years before
even mentioning it to the public.
1T has been known for some time that extracts of
Il thyroid gland. when taken into the human body,
also speed up the metaboliSm, and in this way
thyroid extracts reduce weight
However, it also has been established that the
thyroid extracts speed up the heart and in other
ways upset the body. that they must be taken
with great caution.
1t is obvious that drug which would reduce
weight without having the side effects that thyroid
extract has. might be useful.
Now it has been found that small doses of this
new drug. called dnitrophenol, speed up the
metabosm much as 40 per cent above the
normal and keep this up for several weeks. When
the drug is stopped the metabolsm drops TO normal
in three or four days.
By this time several hundreds of cases of people
who are overweight have been treated with the
drug and its virtues established. However it also
has been shown that overdoSage is exceedingly
dangerous One man in California actually COM
mtted suicide by taking so much that his fever
went very high.

position to Blake's was not under attack, nor was
there any executive intention, sure, to insinu-
ate that Mr. Greeley's former sheet had turned OBJ

No, the rage of the daily seems to have been
started by a mild presidential suggestion that not
all American newspapers are published by GalahaoS
and circulated for other purpose than the proper
spiritual maintenance of the noble army OF saints
and martyrs whatever the expense.
Such cynicism was enough to break the great
heart of a noble journalistic institution. l have no
doubt that the editor himself was too overcome with
rage and grief to do much about it. The assistant
editor who caught the signal to carry on was com

come? To the circulation manager If he needs
piano lessons. where can he get them? From the
circulation manager And if that dear little old lady
at home wants to have her appendix removed, to
whom can her son appeal?"
BY this time everybody in the big hall of the
Commerce Building was weeping. Ed Angly, who
sat next to me, rose to leave. Cant you stand it.

Not that Mr. Hanson lacks a sentimental side.
ANY code provision which costs any client OF his
nickel will make him blubber like a schooboy But
Mr. Hanson has found that the best policy is to

1t was my good fortune to be present when Mr..

Il cal theory was propounded. 1t
was, Artillery conquers and in

fantry was now to follow in the
wake of artillery barrages and the
casualties on both sides were heavy
and terrific.
The great artillery battles of
1916 and 1917, he says, were "a
grim and costly failure" The war
was now a stalemate with the
troops dug in"
Had the belligerents been able
to withstand the loss in manpower
and financial strain, the war
might have gone on this way for
100 years, he says. But the tanks
broke the stalemate.

HORRORS OF THE NEXT WAR
hani2ed Army to Start Next hzusi0n With Speedy Tanks


This mechanical, motorized
army moves swiftly and does ter
rife damage as it goes. Ordinary
defenses can not stop it. 1t
smashes through fields of barbed
wire. 1t batters down obstacles Of
all sorts.
Protected by it's heavy armor
plate, it fears neither the rifles nor
the machine guns of the enemy.
It's speed makes it a poor target
for artillery.
The idea that such an army of
tanks will be the first to take the
field in the next world war is not
the dream of novelists and short
story writer's. 1t is the judgment
of the best military strategistS. 1t
has been preached ever since the
close of the last war by such emf
nent authorities as Maj General
j. F. G. Fuller of Great Britain,
who took part in the last World
war; Captain B. H. Liddell Hart,
famous British military critic, and
others
Il
TINE strategists of all nations
l. dream of a quick, smashing,
brilliant victory. They wish to
avoid the long drawn-out stale
mate of the last World war.
Whether or not they can do so
is another question. But they are
all going to try.
Consequently they preach con-
tinuously the need for mobility
and speed, the need for surprise
attack. And that is why many
authorities think it possible that
a nation may throw all interna-
tional obligations to the winds
and begin the next war without
declaring it, begin it with sur
prise aerial bombardment and a
surprise invasion by an army of
swift-moving tanks accompanied
by speedy combat or pursuit
planes.
The first World war, in the opin-
ion of the strategiSts, taught the
need for new methods. In fact.
these methods developed as the
war progressed. And so you find
the authorities of all nations re-
peating a significant phrase: The
next war will start where the last
one left off.
A S MAJOR GENERAL Full
L n LEN points out, the aim of
the great masters of war in the
past from Alexander the Great,
Hannibal and Scipio, to Frederick
the Great and Napoleon, was based
on the theory of hold, move and
hit" The infantry was used to
hold" the enemy, to form defen-
sive lines which kept the enemy
in one spot. Then the cavalry did
the moving and hitting. 1t out
f1anked the enemy and attacked
him from the side or rear.
But the development of the rifle
bullet made this practice increas-
ingly difficult and the invention
of the machine gun made it i'm
possible. Nevertheless, the World
war began without any clear real
lzation of these facts.
The war opened with the old
infantry idea of assault" writes
Major-General Fuller. THE great
German armies, it was thought.
by sheer weight of numbers would.
like an inf1owing tide. sweep all
before them.
The French armies were to cut
this gigantic German phalanx in
half, and destroy it as Alexander
the Great destroyed the hordes of
Darius.
Nevertheless, every tactical idea
was soon proved to be bankrupt,
and the autumn and winter of
1914 saw the bursting of the most

bic which the history of wars

not freedom to work children,

IN Moulin Rouge Miss Ben
Il nett plays dual roles. You
first meet her as the stage career
hunting wife of Franchot Tone,
a writer of musical plays.

World War"

TINE rising sun reveals a swift
Il moving swarm of steel mon
sters, roaring and gathering across
the countryside. Some rush
swiftly along the roads. Others
move cross-country over hills and
through valleys, lodging trees,
sliding over bitches.
Small slick monsters hurry along
the road with the speed of racing
automobiles, all details of their
smooth sides and tops obliterated
by their speed.
The larger monsters move more
slowly and a better view can be
had of them. There are portfolios
in their sides from which protrude
the muzzles of machine guns.
Some have revolving turretS upon
the roof from which project ma
chine guns or heavier artillery
pieces.
Most slowly of all move the
giants of the swarm. Veritable
steel fortresses on caterpillar
wheels, with guns protruding in
every direction. Despite their size,
they move with comparative ease.
Their caterpillar treads have knee
action" and the great monsters
take bitches, boulders, tree-stumps
and all sorts of obstacles with re-
markedly little pitching or toss
ing.
In the sky above, leading the
way for the sWarms of monsters,
flying to the right and the left,
are hundred airplanes, trim,
speedy, pursuit planes.
This is the advance unit of an
invading army, entering the en-
emy's territory. 1t is sunrise on
the first morning of the Second
World war.
The war began last night with a
terrific aerial bombardment of one
of the enemy's principal industrial
cities, hundreds of miles inside of
the frontier. For hours, the big
bombers dropped high explosives
and gas shells upon the city. The
pursuit planes flew low, using
their machine guns upon the peo-
pie who sought to flee from the
city.
A ND now with the first faint
L n signs of the dawn, as the air.
planes were scurrying back home
from the scene of death and de-
struction, the first unit of the in
vading army is crossing the from
tier.
The sight differs from any to
be seen in the last war. The long
lines of marching infantrymen
with their rifles and packs are
nowhere to be seen.
The slow-moving motor trucks,
carrying supplies, slow moving be-
cause they could move no faster
than the long lines of tramping
soldiers, are nowhere in sight.
Missing also are the horse drawn
artillery.
This is a mechanical army, an
army of tanks. There are big
tanks and little tanks, and ar
mored cars of every description.
Speeding along the road are ar
mOred automobiles. Each one
carrying one or two men and
equipped with machine guns. The
larger tanks carry heavier arma-
ment and more men.
Bringing up the rear is a new
type of artillery. Big guns built
upon tank-like mountings so that
each big gun has its own built-in
motive power.
y
THIS is new kind of invading
Il army, an armored, protected
army, one that fights behind NOV
ing walls of armor plate. A twen-
tieth century army which COM
bines maximum of protection.
