Your Health

TN England 1000 men received compensation IN
1882 under workmens compensation acts 1or SKIN
eruptions resulting from the jobs IN which they
happened to be engaged. Many OF CneSe erupIIoHo
of the skin were due to special skin cleaners used
after the men had finished their daily work
The modern worker wants to be clean and pre-
sentable when he leaves his job. Som men take
cleanliness much seriously than do others
The worker who developed eruption on his
skin had washed his hands twenty-tour times each
day while at work.
which are associated with irritation Of the skin are
washing Soda soda ash and chloride OF lime, as
well as certain agents for removing greases, such as
oils, turpentine and wood alcohol.
IF more men could be persuaded to wear gloves
l. while at work. particularly with strong chemical
substances skin disturbances from contact with
these agencies would be avoided.
However, most men prefer TO work without gloves
and it is probably desirable that they use instead
applcat tons the hands which will prevent contact
with dangerous substances
Among the substances known to bring about
rritations of the skin alkals sugar, OIL chronic
acid turpentine dyes gasoline, bakers dough, acids
parafnn French polish and compounds Of nickel
It mas been found, for example, that the eruptons
on the skin occurring with workers who handle
oranges lemons and lettuce are due TO substance
called limonene, which is like turpentine Orange
oil and lemon oil consist Of more than 80 per cent
of this lmonene.
DERsONs who are sensitive to lemon oil or to
L turpentine prevent the irrtatons by avoid
ing these substances
The disturbances of the skin that come from lime
sugar and tulip juice are usually confined to the
skin around the finger nails. An eruption due TO
an irritating dust, as opposed to liquid, usually
shows itself first on the face and neck Such FOR
example, are the eruptions due to wood dust and
barley.
unfortunately, the best advice that can be given
to worker who suffers regularly with disturbances
Of the skin associated with his Job is to find some
other job-not altogether simple matter in these
times.

A BOUT $4,000 head of cattle
"A are being slaughtered each
day and procesSed in packing
plants built or rented by FSRC
or in commercial plants under
contract with it. All the cans are
stamped as relief food, so they
can't get into the commercial
market.
But it has been pointed out
that if meat prices go higher this
winter and next spring than the
government thinks they should,
some of the FSRC food might be
put into trade.
Most commercial plants are
pressed to capacity by government
orders, as they're processing about
three -fourths of the FSRC ami
mails and doing an unusually big
business Of their own.
In general, the poorest and
skinniest of beef animals are
being bought up - thus far at
about the ratio of three of every
ten COWS viewed by federal agents
and at an average cost of $13.65.
Recent figures showed that AL
900 head had produced 1000, 900
pounds of dressed meat, which
would mean little more than a
third as much canned meat.
The sheep program has not yet
gone into effect.
The AAA and FSRC has had
plenty Of experience in buying for
the needy unemployed before the
drought came along. Since last
October the FSRC has taken over
350,000,O00 pounds of pork, more
than 100000 pounds of butter,
100000 pounds of cheese, and
much coal, blankets, apples, eggs,
potatoes, and other food and ma
terial.
TN California, 10000 tons of
Il cling peaches are being canned
which otherwise would have rot
ted on the trees, and bids have
just been asked by FSRC for 5O,-
100000 pounds of rice.
And 100000 bales of cotton are
being acquired from the big cot
ton surplus, which 10000 women
in $500 FERA sewing centers will
make into mattresses on which
the folks on relief may sleep.
The entry of the government
into mass production and distri-
button such as has been hereto
fore reserved to the field of pri-

Thus far FERA has received
SlO0,O00,OO0 from the 100000
drought appropriation for its ship
ment, pasturing, and processing
of cattle, its feed purchases, its
direct drought relief and drought
work program. Its feed activ-
tiles include a recent bid for up to
10000 tons of soya-bean hay at
SIS ton.
HOPKINS has spent the sum-
Il i mer in Europe, studying So
cial security systems. In his abb
sence, his assistants, Aubrey Will
liamS and Lawrence WeStbrook,
have been supervising FERA
drought relief while Jacob Baker
has directed the FSRC-of which
Hopkins is president-in cooper
alton with Colonel Philip G. Muir
ply, chief of the AAA commOdi-
ties purchase section.
The huge, faSt-moving AAA-
FSRC livestock operation is likely
never to be duplicated. 1t involves
the buying of at least eight or ten
million cattle and about five mil
lion sheep and goats. The great
majority will be canned or cured
for relief consumption.
It is estimated that more than
1,000,000000 pounds of beef and
100000 of mutton eventually
will be distributed through fed
eral channels.
Most of the cattle are shipped
off by FSRC, which takes them
over as soon as the AAA buys
them, but many are left in the
same state for canning or other
local needs. Some, of course,
have been killed on the spot as
unfit.
Cattle not slaughtered for proc
essing at once are shipped into
the twenty or more states where
state relief directors have ar
ranged for pasturage, usually with
the idea of slaughtering them
later. FERA remembered that
hundreds of thousands of small
farmers needed COWS to help make
them self-sustaining and it tries
to leave its cattle-all branded
with an "ERA"-with farmers on
relief or with other farm families
which need more milk.
Such cattle are distributed into
Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
GINA, and the southern states
where FERA still is looking for
more good grazing land.

vate business has caused some
squawks from certain industries.
But there has been little COM
plant about the cattle and meat
program, for it is realized that
if any other course had been fol-
lowed, millions of cattle now SAL
vaged would have died on farms,
a stampede Of other cattle would
have glutted the market and
caused diSastrously low prices,
which would have resulted in
even more damage to the cattle
raiSerS.
Thereafter, a meat shortage
would have sent prices so high

w most from the beginning Of
the New Deal, Henry A. Wallace.
agriculture secretary, and Relief
Administrator Harry Hopkins-two
sentimental realists-have found
many points in common, philo-
sophically and practically,
Mr.. WaIlace's Job was TO relieve
the farmers, heavily burdened by
SURPRISES Of food crops, and Mr..
Hopkins had to relieve the needy
unemployed. who didn't have
enough TO eat. In almost no time
at all they decided to remedy the
old paradox which found millions
starving and great piles Of food
stufs on the farms begging for a
market.
The federal surplus relief cor
poration was formed to take over
pork and other food to help feed
100000 persons on the relief
rolls. Today, the federal emer-
gency relief administration and
the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration are working together
more closely than ever before,
through the federal surplus relief
corporation, in the great federal
drought relief effort.
And the Hopkins organization,
as if in return for Wallace's dona-
tons of millions of head Of cattle
purchased from drought-stricken
farms, is expanding its programs
Of direct relief and work relief
all through the rural drought area
and even helping feed the live
stock.
A MILLION families are on relief
in the eighteen states hardest hit,
only a fourth of them in the good
sized cities. Hundreds of thou
sands more will be added this
winter.
A BOUT 100000 persons in that
IA area are engaged on FERA
work projects, most of them able
bodied farmers temporarily robbed
of chance to make a living ex-
cept through public aid. The di-
versity of their jobs shows the
flexibility of the FERA's emer-
gency works division and its
adaDtability to special drO' yht
problems.
Wells are being dug to supply
water for drinking and other lin
tied use. Streams are damned or
diverted and lakes tapped for life
giving water supplies. Road-build-
ing and soil erosion work are i'm
ulated
Farmers are recruited to help
handle the huge cattle movements
and in some cases to work at
processing them into relief meat.
And most lately, FERA has
come to the aid of agriculture as
a whole with a plan for "a nation
wide cleaning of the fields" in
which work relief employees will
gather every possible pound of
roughage, oat straw, wheat straw,
cornstalks, hay and other forage
and fodder to help ameliorate the
grave shortage of livestock feed.
This extraordinary scheme to
set people everywhere to gather
ing waste material will employ
tens of thousands at harvesting,
bailing, and transporting. State
relief directors are checking avail
able sources, with special refer
ence to cornstalks ordinarily left
to rot.
Farmers with fodder crops
which they might not harvest will
be supplied with relief workers to
garner the stuff.

The Presidents lively concern in

it was its curative waters which
helped restore him to health, and
that he owns a home and farm

There is a close political and
personal reason. He has been
made the issue of the campaign.
"Talmage or Roosevelt" is the
cry that has been raised all over
the state. And in Georgia, where
the President is revered with a
fierce loyalty. this is a serious
matter.
Talmage and his chief oppo-
nent, Circuit Judge Claude Pitt
man of Gainesville, are, of course,
both Democrats. In Georgia, as

Democratic nomination is equiva-

Last winter he undertook to set
himself up as dictator of FERA

came a sad cropper. Lean, two
