II ME people of the United States spend more than
$500O0000 year to avoid indigestion. This
may be said to be wasted money, since it should be
possible for practically every one to have a normal
action OF the bowels by proper habits Of diet and
exercise.
Doctors know that the excessive use of catharticc
tends to establish habit which in the end will dam
age the digestive tract Apparently the bowels get
used to the stimulation and require more and more

Doctors also are convinced that the sedentary
habits of most of just about as important as
the diet, in failure to have normally acting in
testines However there is no one factor to which
all cases Of constipation can be ascrbed
Sometimes any single case may be the result Of
the combination Of several factors
A MONG the substances most commonly used to
L N stir the intestines into action saline and
vegetable catharticS, organic and mineral prepara-
tons, mechanically acting substances and water in
various forms
The saline cathartics have been exceedingly popu-
lar of late largely because they being widely adj
vertsed in all sorts of publications and the radio
This type Of cathartic first introduced about
the middle Of the seventeenth century in the form of
Glauber's salt This salt. which is sodium sulphate,
and Epson SALT which is magnesium Sulphates, form
the basis of of the widely advertised salts be-
ing promoted at this time for reducing.
nOCTORS know that the continued use of strong
II salts may so infame the lower portions of the
bowls as to produce colitis.
The salts will reduce weight by hurrying the food
through the body and thus preventing its 1rption
but it is not safe to make routine habit of salts
The vegetable cathartics include all the common
preparations which most persons use and have used
for many years, including cascara, senna castor OIL
aloes, rhubarb, jalap, and many others. These ca
thartics act by irritating the bowels.
Since irritation is abnormal and unfavorable it
is not well to make habit Of using any of the avail
able cathartics.
Doctors prescribe them for special cases in which
they are needed, as evidenced by the nature of the
symptoms

Durgan.
When they came to Washing
ton, Mrs. Durgan tried to persuade
George to give up his tobacco
chewing habit.

in congress who chews tobacco, .
she said.
But on the first day that he
entered the house chamber,
George had no sooner pulled out
his trusty plug than he was APP
preached by an unknown colleague
who asked for "a chew"

you prove that my wife was
wrong. and second because 1 know
you're going to be my friend"

idea to catch him either sitting
or standing close to a spittoon.
George wears light-colored,
double-breasted suits that hide
the contour of his ample paunch.
He doesn't want anybody to get
the impression that he might be
getting soft.
He likes to talk, and always in
a loud voice that he must have
cultivated chewing the rag with
neighbors on the street corners OF
Lafayette.
Ironically, George Durgan for
many years owned and operated
musical instrument shop. Incl
dentally, he is still trying to collect
back bills. Harmony, at least po-
litical harmony, is as foreign to
Georges nature as tidineSs is to

Todays Science
BY DAVID DIETZ-

A NEW theory which joins the relatively theory
L n OF Professor Albert Einstein with the newest
quantum theory. namely that of Professor P A. M
Dlrac was described by Sir Arthur Eddngton world
famous astronomer of Cambridge England and one
of the chief authorities upon the subject of rela-
tylty Sir Arthur spoke at session of the National
Academy of Sciences in Washington
His audience consisted of the most eminent sci
entiSts of the nation. However. all but handful
who understood the involved mathematics of rela-
tvity had difficulty in following his complex nathe-
NAUTICAL statements.
Relatively undertakes to explain the behavior of
space, time and gravtation. The So-caled constants
OF fundamental entities in its equations the force
OF gravity and the force Of coSmic repulsion. the
force which is responsible for the expansion of the
universe.
The quantum theory undertakes to explain the
behavior of the electrons in the atom and the be-
havor of energy. It has three constants the cleo
and the so-called Plancks constant which deter
mines the size OF the quantum of energy.
DY his Supervisory. Sir Arthur has united the
- two theories. showing how the value of grav-
tation and coSmiCal repulsion can be expressed in
terms of the electric charge and mass of the cleo
iron and PlanckS constant
THE universe is one" he said in an interview
following his formal discourse before the academy.
1t is desirable therefore. not to have theories
to explain the fundamentals of the universe but to
have only theory.
"Since EnStein's formulation of generalized rela-
tvity in 1915, there have been two important steps
in this direction One was the work of Weyl con-
Meeting gravitation and electromagnetic phenomena,
the other the work of Dirac on the equation
for the electron.
In my equations find that it is necessary to
start with only arbitrary constant in nature,
namely the total number of electrons particles in
the universe. This figure is 10 raised to the seventy
ninth power. That is the figure followed by
seventynine cphers. 1t is possible derive all the
other constants of both relatively quantum theory
from that and to express mathematical relations
between them
N uniying the two theories of relatively and guam
4 tum behavior. Sir Arthur said that he began with
considerations of two things namely the origin of
electric charge and the origin of mass popularity but
not correctly called weight.
The electric charge" he explained came into
existence as consequence of the division of
into separate particles. Mass was the result of the
curvature Of space. In a universe in which space
was fiat there would be mass.
Now both these things enter the relatively theory
and the quantum theory. Consequently. what I I'M
dertook 10 do TO combine the different aspects
on which they appeared in the two theories so that
synthesis Of the two theories could be worked OUT

AS chairman of the house ap-
preparations committee, Will Wood
held the treasury purse strings and
won a reputation, partly deserved,
as a foe of governmental waste.
One Of the big campaign charges
that Durgan pressed in 1882 was
that VIII Wood hadn't held the
purse string tight enough.
However, since he came to con-
gress, Durgan has voted for prac-
tically every money-spending bill
that has been offered. His de-
tense is that the appropriations
are emergency expenditures"
And I'll vote more billions if
it is necessary to keep the people
from starving and keep them IN
Jobs" George said.
DURGAN voted for the econ
IL omy law, for the veterans
bonus, and for passage of the
independent Offices appropriations
bill, which carried increased
benefits for veterans, over Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto. And any
opponent who thinks he can make
a political issue out of the fact
that the last vote mentioned in
cidentally restored $1,000 year to
Georges own salary has Georges
permission to make the most
of it.
George voted for all new deal
legislation such as the NRA,
AAA, PWA, CCC, and parted from
the administration only on meas
ures that seemed to veer back to-
ward conservatism.
If you want to hear George talk
around subject, ask him how he
thinks the government should
levy taxes to pay the bills of the
new deal About the only reply
you can get out of him is to the
effect that business will improve
and cause tax receipts to in
crease enough to pay off the

utilities in his teeth for the last
quarter century. Even when he
ran against Will Wood, Durgan
made Henry Marshall the big is
sue.
For eighteen years, Durgan
served as mayor of Lafayette.
Twice the voters of Lafayette,
whipped up by Marshall's paper,
kicked Durgan out of the mayors
chair, but always Durgan came
back. There we're few days of
peace in that eighteen years.
George managed to keep a rate
cut fight going against one or the
other of the cityS public utilities
all of the time.
The public utilities don't like
George, and you can't blame them,
because if he had his way the
cities would take their business

GARY NAMED FOR
AAA MILK SURVEY
Consumption to Be Studied
at Van Nuy'S Request.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Gary,
Ind, has been selected by DR.. Fred
erick G. Howe, consumers counsel
of the AAA, as one of twenty-six
typical American cities for sur
vey of milk consumption.
The survey was launched after an
appeal to the department by Sem
ator Frederick Van Nuys, who has
received numerous complaints from
Hoosier dairy farmers regarding the
"underconsunption" of milk.
DR.. Howe declared that the sur
vey will reveal whether or not eco
nomic conditions, or some other
cause, is to blame for the decline
in the mink market.
Senator Van Nuys intends to use
the data to foster legislation, if nee
essary, to stimulate the use of milk,
it was announced at his Office.

Of the securities act. e. 1t looks as
if the only real change Roosevelt
favors is to limit the RESPONSE
bility of banks and bond houses

they issue. DR.. Otto H. F. Voll-
behr, who sold the United States
government a Gutenberg Bible
for over half a million dollars,
loves to visit his one-time possess
sion in the library of congress.

now is being carried out, and
probably would have been carried
out even if Durgan had not Sug-
gested it. A saving of about
100000 a year has been effected
by these consultations and Dur
gan has stood his ground despite
the protests of mail carriers that
have been thrown out of work.
DURGAN was born a rebel,

canoe county. Today is a rebel
by habit.
