Un-American Distinction

An Italian woman living in New York and working
at the somewhat humble trade OF dress finisher was
hurt in an accident on an elevated railway some little
time ago. She sued for damages and was awarded
$4,000. The railroad appealed the case, with the
rather surprising argument that this sum was out Of
all proportion for a woman in her social class"
The appellate court has finally passed on this ap-
peal. and-naturally enOugh-has tossed II out Of
court. It, opinion remarks caustically that medical
science has never demonstrated that persons Of al
legged inferior social position suffer any less from in
juries than those Of putative or assumed social
superiority"
This constitutes a neat little slap on the wrist for
the railroads lawyers. and We hope they take II to
heart. This, after al, Is America, and America IS a
democracy, and # IS still orr proudest boast that class
distinctions do not count with us. Whoever thought
up that appeal has a poor understanding Of what
America really Is.

Key to Progress

A great deal has been said about the freedom Of the
press, IN the last year Or two. and a great deal needs
TO be said, for this IS the keystone Of the arch Of our
liberties. One OF the best comments is the following.
written by William Allison Sinner. editor Of The
American Scholar:
The only force strong enough to prevent the es-
tablished order from p~etrfying the intellect and
p~aralyzing progress is freedom OF expression. The
conservative or radical who IS not Obliged to prove
the superiority OF his ideas 70 win and maintain a
majority will promote ignorance rather than education.
This is the basic argument for freedom OF speech
freedom to learn Is the other side Of the shield. The
silly ass who denies to others the right Of expression.
by the same act plucks out his own tongue and pune
lures his own ears"

Of the result may be due to the optimism and in
creased care associated with a special diet.
It has been suggested that we ought to eat only
when hungry, and then only in very small amounts.
Here again adoption should be made to the indivi-
dual.
A football player or a heavyweight boxer needs
several steaks and lots OF potatoes. A business man
having the same materials for luncheon would be
incapacitated for the afternoon.
A lumberjack will eat a half dozen sausages. a
dozen or more wheatcakes with strip, and two or
three cups Of coffee for breakfast. A pre-school child
with the same food would spend a few weeks there
after at home.
Among other factors, we know that strong emo
tons viii stop digestion. In India this fact IS rec
ognized to detect thieves. All the suspects are given
bowls OF rice. The one whose mouth stays dry, be-
cause his saliva viii not flow under the influence Of
fear. Is judged to be guilty.
Much IS said also Of the relationship Of chewing
to digestion In first and second childhood we can
get along with liquid food. However. nowadays many
Of us have good teeth in second childhood and try
to masticate foods for which the stomach Is not pre-
pared.
A certain amount OF dry. crisp food Is desirable
IN the diet, because II helps to cause a flow Of saliva.
Some bulk Is necessary for adequate digestion. since
movement Of the food along the intestinal tract is
regulated to some extent by the bulk Of the waste
material.
You should not suddenly increase or decrease
amounts Of food you take. because the digestive tract
requires time to adjust itself to the changes.

The Truth About Diet
BY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Assn.
and Hygeia. the Health Magazine
NOTE HOW FOODS AFFECT YOU

AS I have said, there are wide differences in d.
gestion between individuals. One person may digest
substances which are impossible for others.
You can learn a great deal about your digestion
simply BY watching the way in which you react to
different food substances. You should consider diet
not as the taking Of a single food substance. but as
the sum of all the materials that you put into the
stomach in a period Of "a hours. and then in periods
OF weeks.
Mix, vegetables or fruit, Is desirable in every
meal, but the person who is sensitive to milk finds
1t a poison.
Some people seem to benefit by use Of peculiar
diets. When they do, remember that the mind has
considerable effect on the way We feel, and that much
