Your Health

no YOU believe that green apples always cause
stomachache: that the mixing of ice cream and
lobster is certain to result in food poisoning?
Do YOU always pour canned fruits and vegetables
ont of the can into glass DISH for fear that reten-
tion in the tin vessel would give rise to poisoning?
Have YOU heard that fried foods are indigestible?
These are some of the common notions that pre-
vail among the uninformed in relationship to health.
More and more doctors are learning that it is not
safe TO accept any Of these common ideas without
checking them through scientific study and expert
mentaton.
It is common belief that the boy or the girl who

another Cornell professor who is
a poultry expert. On eighty-four
acres near Ithaca he raises
10000 chicks and 5000 hens.
Whether he uses the Warren cleo

Young Henry Morgenthau, who
studied at Cornell, brought Myers

as his successor on the FCA.
Myers wrote the original farm

done a swell job.
There are many other close
Roosevelt advisers, including of
course Rex Tugwell of the original
brain trust. But in gauging, prais-
ing or maligning the present re-
vanlped brain trust, one fact
stands out more than any other.
None Of them is putting any ideas
over on Roosevelt.
The President is forming his own
ideas. He picks ana chooses from
the varied array around him. His
ladicalism is their radicalism. His
faults are their faults. AS far as
policy goes, Roosevelt and the
brain trust practically are one
and the same thing.

PROFESSOR JAMES HARVEY
ROGERS Of Yale is an original
member of the money trust and
was influential in selling RooSe-
welt the idea of devaluating the
dollar. Like most professors he is
extremely sensitive to anything
that is said about him, and the
thing that hurts him most is the
accusation that he was responsible
for the commodity dollar. Rogers
is retiring and timid, but carried
weight in the days of monetary
upheaval.
PROFESSOR GORGE F.
WARREN of Cornell is the man
who sold Roosevelt the commodity
dollar, though he has changed his
views somewhat regarding its ex-
pediency. Warren spent most Of
his life as poultry expert and
once invented a system of holding
an electric light bulb in front Of
a hen so that it laid more eggs.
The only trouble was that it killed
the hen.

Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Win
throp Hoop soon will take Office
here as police and fire commits
sioner because his students of
politics at the University of Tulsa
didn't subscribe to his theory.
Colonel Hoops theory, ex-

politics before him, was that an
ordinary citizen without organi-
zation backing has no chance in
running for public office unless he
promises jobs, kisses babies, and

Hoops students wouldn't believe
him. Further, they went right out
to prove him wrong. Result:
Colonel Hoop, 1894; opponent,

Here's how it all started:
Colonel Hoop was telling his poll
tics class of his favorite theory
that only mountaineering,
baby kissing, free promising can
didates can be elected to office.
A saucer-eyed youth of 10 in the
front row perked up with this
question: What have YOU done
about that?"

made in response to public de-
mand.
I shall pay my own expenses,
shall make no promises to any
person or group of persons, make
no campaign, kiss no babies and
conduct myself as a gentleman"
Professional politicians chuckled.
There were seven candidates for
the job, including lanky Thomas

and smart politician.
