France Gives Up Talks
on Arms With Germany

PARIS, Jan 24.-Having definitely
abandoned all disarmament negotia-
tons with Germany, France is now
preparing to propose discussion of a
"standstill' agreement on ornaments
at Geneva.
The openly admitted purpose OF
this maneuver is to put Germany in
a position where its refusal to sign
such an agreement will be used to
throw all responsibility for the fever
ISL war preparations Of all European
countries onto Germany.

Fifty Prisoners Killed
in Fascist Camp
at Dachau

The following account OF life in
the Nazi concentration camps was
written by the German correspond
end of the Manchester Guardian"
liberal British newspaper.-Editor.
Dachau Concentration Camp
The concentration camp at Dachau
is often represented as a model OF
it's kind Thus the "Muenchener
Illustrierte Presse" of July Is de-
| scribed it with illustrations as a
kind of institute where politically
misguided men are being trained to
become good citizens. They are seen
drilling and working in way that
suggests a healthy and a disciplined
but not overstrenuous life. The truth
is that this camp is in no sense a
model, although it is no worse than
many of the Hitherto concentration
camps. The following details of the
organization and routine have come
into the possession of your cores
pondent:
2,400 Prisoners
The number of prisoners according
to the September list) is 2,200-2,4 400.
OF these about so are intellectuals, a
few are members of the middle class,
without any political affiliations, so
or go are Nazis, about so are Jews,
about 500 are Socialists, two are army
officers Catholics and members of
the Bayarian Peoples Party, there
are several beggars and ordinary
criminals, Is are German sub
jects, and the remainder are Com
mnists. The overwhelming majority
belong to the working class.
The prisoners are organized in ten
companies; company, at full
strength, has 270 men in five SQUADS

vering In their allegiance to him.
Hitler not only defended the slaugh-
ter OF the alleged conspirators, but
also gave warning that like fate
awaits all other traitors"
Every one is to know for all fu-
ture times" he said, "that, II he raises
his hand for attack against the state,
certain death will be his LOT"
Far from apologizing for the kill
ines. he shouted: 81 gave orders to
shoot those who were mainly respon-
sible for treachery. gave further
orders to burn out into the raw flesh
the pest boil Of our internal well
poisoning and the poisoning Of foreign
countries. I was the supreme court Of
the land for "a hours" " ~
His indictment Of Roehm and the
circle Of perverts that surrounded him
was terrific In its details and con-
vincing to most Of his countrymen.
Inst before the delivery Of his adj
dress Hitler and his government were
notified by Great Britain and Italy
that thew approved the eastern Euro
mean security pacts that France is
fostering. These would include Rus
STA. Poland, the Baltic states and
Czechoslovakia, and unless Germany
also signed up the result would be the
forging Of an iron band around the
reich. :.
Hitler alluded to this plan in de-
faint language. He said:
.If our trade balance, through eco
nomic barriers In foreign markets or
through political boycott, becomes q
passive one. we shall, through our Own
ability and thanks to the genius OF
our inventors and chemists, find ways
of making ourselves Independent OF
those raw materials which we our
selves are in a position to manufacture
or find substitutes for.

Is CRAZY WATER
EPSON SALTS
No, says DR.. w. E. Fitch in
nationwide broadcast
over N.B.C. network
NOT A MAN-MADE DRUG
Tells why natural mineral
water is so often beneficial
for rheumatic" aches
and pains

On a recent Sunday afternoon
broadcast on the National Broadcast
ing network the following discussion
took place between Mr.. Gene Arnold
and DR.. w. z. Fitch, internationally
known authority on natural mineral
waters.
GENE ARNOLD: 81 receive letters
from people saying they heard that
Crazy Water Crystals are made OF
nothing but salts-Epsom Salts or
Glauber's Salts. These people want to
know if it's true you can buy some of
these salts for a few cents, and get
the same effect as you do with Crazy
Water Crystals"
DIR. F1TcH: "No, it Is NOT true"
GENE ARNOLD: "I'm glad to hear
you say that, because ] know your
opinion is worth a great deal. But will
you explain a little more about it7
What are the true factsp
DIR. FITCH: "The facts are that It
has always been hard for a few doubt
ing Thomases and skeptics to believe
that old Mother Nature knows how to
prepare and compound natural mini
eral waters In a way that cannot be
duplicated in a laboratory. In the
course of my studies / have found
that those same doubts were expressed
Two Thousand Years Ago, in the
early days of natural mineral water
therapy. The truth is that natural
mineral water and natural crystals
from such waters are as different
from synthetic or artificial salts as
day from night. And that's why
the medical profession has always
been IN favor of the Natural Wat
ers - has always insisted that they
are the one product of Nature that
cannot be initiated successfully by
man. People have tried for many,
many years to make up synthetic con-
coctions to take their place but they
do not have the same effect. The
predominating chemical constituent of
Crazy Water Crystals is sodium sui
phate, but it Is in its Natural State,
and has far different physiological
effect than the synthetic salts made IN
laboratory. When you buy salts for
a few cents you get just what you
pay fora dose of salts. But when
you use Crazy Water Crystals, you
get undiiuted minerals in their natu-
raj state, taken from natural mineral
water by evaporation with nothing
added" g..
b That is why Crazy Water Crystals
have proven themselves so beneficial
in the treatment of rheumatic" aches
and pains. Thousands of people in all
parts of the United States testify to
this. 90 s4...e- r
If you, or any of your friends, suf-
fer from rheumatic" pains we sug-
gest you investigate Crazy Water
Crystals Immediately. Ask any of the
millions who have used them. Then
get standard size box-it costs only
$1.50 and is ample for at least three
weeks treatment. Crazy Water Com
