Your Health

A ONO the very latest of treatments for tuber-
"A culosis are two diets that we're developed in
Germany as recently as last year. They are called
the Sauerhruch- Hernannsdorfer and the Gerson
diets, named after the German specialists who de-
vised them.
The idea back of these diets is the belief that it
is possible to change the soil on which the tuber-
culosis germ grows.
Their essential point is the practical exclusion of
table salt and the substitution for it of a salt rich in
calcium.
The diets also include large selections of un-
cooked fresh vegetables or salads with added fruit
juices. Other vegetables are cooked in their own
juices in waterless cookers.
The meats. in the diet are cut down. as are also
the sugars. The water intake also is cut down. but
it is replaced with fairly liberal amounts of fresh
fruit and vegetable juices.
THE Gerson diet gives about three and one-half
l. ounces Of meat each week and about 25 ounces
of fish. 1t provides the yolks of eggs only and a total
OF tat daily CT about six ounces, which is twice as
much as of protein altogether.
The amount of sugar for energy includes about
seven ounces of sugar a week and about one and
three-quarterS ounces of honey each week. The
vegetables are not included except in the form of
about one and one-half quarts of vegetable Juices
a week and about one pint of fruit juices weekly.
The amount of milk is one-half pint daily. Soup
is not used. The amount of salt is about one and
one-half grams daily.
THE other diet differs from this by providing
4 more protein, raising the weekly amount by
one pound. 1t also calls for more milk-at least a
quart each day-and permits the eating of the whole
egg instead of just of the yolk.
The idea behind these diets is to change the
way in which the body handles minerals. to use
these to better advantage in controlling the disease.
The diets are rich in fats. vitamins and minerals.
1t has not been established as yet with anv GER
tainty that they represent a great advance in the
treatment of tuberculosis. However, the nature of
the disease is such that it is really worth while to
experiment with simple measures of this tvpe. since
they may lead eventually to a system that could be
useful for all cases of tuberculosis.

go on to further denominations l suggest that tney
get together and decide whether or not they want
to save the small business man. This is said in all
seriousness, because it seems to me that upon the
answer depends the economic and political future
of America. In the supplementary report issued by
Mr.. barrow and Mr.. Thompson it is stated:
To go back to unregulated competition, in which
the small man can gain his share of the market by
some special advantage of skill or other factor. is not
possible in a situation where Neurological advance
has produced a surplus. so that unregulated COM
petition demoralizes both wages and prices and
brings on recurrent and increasingly severe indus
trial depression"
In other words, Mr.. barrow is saying that the
small business man has no chance under MIRA and
no chance without it. All that is left to the minor
entrepreneur is the choice between being beheaded
by a code or more slowly ground to death by the
force of a competition with which he can not cope.
Mr.. Darrow is a little less than candid when he
denies that the little fellows complaint against arbl-
trarily established wage scales, can not be attrib-
uted to the mere desire to chiSel wages" Inevitably
the little fellow must chisel both in price and wage
cutting and in the fight to prevent the shortening of
hours. He is neither a villain nor a hero, but an eco
nomic anachronism.

MOSCOW, May 26. Soviet
Iva Russia, Karl Radek, famed
Russian publicist, told me, has
become invincible.
Russia, he said, as he paced the
floor of his penthouse study over
looking the Moskva river, and the
site on the opposite bank where
the worlds tallest structure, the
monument to Lenin, is to rise,
does not want war.
She does not need more terri
tory. What she does need is
twenty more years of peace in
which to provide higher living
standards and better conditions
generally for the people of the
Soviet Union.
Radek has one of the keenest
minds in the country. He is one
of Communism's outstanding
philosophers. He looks like the
picture of Horace Greeley. large
and rather prominent blue eyes.
somewhat sparse brown hair, and
chin whiskers-the kind that pass
under the chin like a hairy strap
and look as if they were tied to
the ears.
COVIET RUSSIA, he c~ontended,
~ is invincible because the mass
es are politically minded. Not only
does this make Russian soldiers
better than other soldiers, man
for man, but it means that the
entire population of the country,
men and women, and even the
boys and girls, r in a sense SOL
diers, too.
He cited the work or the Mos
COW Motro, or subway, as an ex-
ample.
On Nov. 7 will fall the ami
versary of the Red revolution. By
that date, less than six months
distant, the engineers have prom
ised that the first train will carry
passengers along the first seven
mile section to be finished under
the heart of the city.
But much work remains to be
done and the 5000 workers are
racing against time. Accordingly,
a "subotnik," or unpaid labor
corps, has been formed, made up
of men, women, girls and boys,
who voluntarily give up their
weekly rest day to WELD pick and
shovel in the subway.

This again is one reason the
President is so tired. Enough de-
tail comes across his desk to
swamp any two men. He has not
delegated enough responsibility.
And when you look at some of the
men to whom he should delegate
it, you can understand why.
This also is one reason Roose-
welt has vacillated recently. He
is too tired, too rushed, to go into
everything carefully-and too
anxious to get congress off his
hands.
Sooner or later Roosevelt is
going TO have to hire some new

pressed a suit of clothes more cheaply than his COM

spoken of him as a sort of national hero defending

course, that a retail sinner should be punished while
the wholesale chiSelers escape. Nevertheless, the
little tailor belongs distinctly among the sinners. A

up of the chief employers in that industry.

WHICH, GIlE SGdSC dlAO AAPONAO FNASAO
On the stage, this play was a
great success and was written in
Indianapolis.
Mr.. Millholland, who is now in
the east, at my request has sent
me his own story of how he hap
pened to write this great success.
His story, as written by himself,
is as follows:
Il wrote Napoleon of Broad
way my original play upon
which both the Broadway and
HOLLYWOOD versions of Twentieth
Century were based, in the home
of my mother in Indianapolis in
1880.
When I returned to Indiana
after a winter in New York as
publicist for Oliver M. SaySer,
personal press agent for Morris
Gest, I had no intention Of writ
ing a play about show business.
Much to my surprise, the fam
lily vas so amused by the true
stories I related about the lido
syncrasies of famous producers
and their erratic methods, that
that one of my brothers suggested
that 1 put it all into q play. And
why not? 1t was such an obvious
idea that I had never thought of
it myself.
THE play really wrote itself.
I retired to my room, recalled the
characters and types with which
I was familiar. plotted my play
and started writing. Doing the
dialogue for my central character
of producer I found it easier to
read the lines aloud to myself as
I wrote them.
81 didn't realize how strange
this must have sounded to the
rest of the household until later
when my mother admitted that
hearing me humble to myself in
an unnatural voice had made her
wonder if I were in my right
mind.
AS soon as 1 had completed
and copyrighted Napoleon of
Broadway l had a bunch that
Jed Harris would be interested
and wired him to that effect. Re
ceiving no answering wire, I
mailed it to him and three other
producers. The following day I
received a letter from his gener-
al manager saying that Mr.. Har-
ris' plans we're complete for the
season and that he would not be
interested.
HOWEVER, my bunch was
IL correct: and he was. l re-
ceived a wire from Jed Harris
saying that he would like to pro-
duce my play. AS I "a unable to
come on to New York to make
the revisions which he required,
Mr.. Harris offered me collabora-
ton and a contract which 1 sub
quently accepted.
after Jed Harris had kept my
play a year and paid me $1,000,
he released Twentieth Century
as he rechristened it, to George
Abbott and Phillip Dunning,
authors and directors of his first
hit. Broadway

rehearsal and opened it in New

The day after the opening, break
fasting at noon in a tuxedo in a

York reviews.
They were so unanimously ia
vorable that I felt justified in
giving a New Years party to
about a hundred of my friends.
The combination of play and
party were too much, and 1
sailed for Bermuda to recuperate.

MERRY-GO -ROUND
: By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

TXTASHINGTON, May 26-Behind the Presidents desire to get con-
w gress of his hands early in June are-above an-two things.
One is the fact that he is tired.
The other is his belief that what the country needs is less uncer-
tainty regarding its future course. With congress out of the way,
Roosevelt feels that business, agriculture and his own administrators
can dig in at the job of putting into effect the mass of new congress
sonal legislation.
This latter would be more easily possible were it not To- the tact
that q lot of new deal administrators begin cropping in the dark the
minute the man at the helm is a stones throw away from washington.
And this summer he will be en- route to Hawaii.
This situation remains the weakest link in the Roosevelt admins
