That Second Term of r. ID. RS

THE Washington observers already are beginning
n 10 speculate beyond 1886 and to guess what
fooSeVeltS second term will be like One very we'll
informed newspaper man ed MOTEL agree but
OBVIOUSLY am quoting somebody else) told me:
Inc history OF American politics and American
economies during the next few years depends largely
upon the success or failure of the John L. Lewis
campaign for industrial unionism President Roose-
ven may nave reservations, but on the whole his
sympathles lie with the Lewis drive Naturally he
VIII make no public indication of this fact but he
mas felt that many of the criticisms which hold him
guilty OF vaclllatng policy in regard to labor are
unfair 1t is his notion that he could have taken
no stronger labor position because of the weakness
of the labor movement itself
1T may be pointed out that the A. F. of L. vacil-
lated just as much in certain situations as the Pres-
dent himself and that it impossible for him to
get out very far ahead of his support My guess is
that Roosevelts progress to the left in his second
Administration will be in almost precise proportion
TO the increase of trades union members and the
pertecting of organization. In other words, nobody
can tell what Roosevelt is going to do without hav-
ing some idea of what Lewis is likely to accomplish"

Your Health
: BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

MOT so many years ago a craze for bran or horse
L Y food, swept the country Newspapers and mag
azines full of recipes for making bran biscuits
bran mullins bran gems, bran patties and otherwise
disgusting this coarse and, to many people, unap-
petizing material.
Now, the only real for bran in the diet
is the fact that it supplies good deal of what is
called roughage.
AS foods have become more and more sophisti-
Gated, there is a greater tendency to make them
easier to eat. They are softened by removal of
fbrouS materials and ceuloSe, which give the bowels
something to catch on to.
According to the promoters of the roughage dea
it is necessary to load the bowels with all kinds of
ndigeStible and unaSSimable substances, so that
they will be filled with irritating bulk. The bowels
then are stimulated to empty, and as result they
say constipation and pnlegmatic habits will be over
come.
A CERTAIN amount of indigestible residue is al
N ways necessary to normal action of the bowels
but this is long step from violently loading weak
bowel with a large of unnecessary work.
1t is long step, also, from taking roughage or
bulk in the form of substances which will irrltate
the tissues and set up reaction which may event.
ually lead to coits, or Inflammation of the large
bowel.
There are many ways in which phlegmatic
bowel may be stimulated to action. All sorts OF
food products have been developed which provide
the necessary bulk without irritation
Furthermore, once colitis is produced by an
excess of the bran or roughage habit, it is exceed
incly difficult to bring it under control Many
months of carefully chosen diets may be necessary
to permit healing.
CERTAIN food combinations are known low
~ residue diets because they provide very small
amounts of ndigeStble material These are foods,
for example, such as lean meat rice, white bread,
cooked and strained cereals cooked eggs, butter,
cream fruit juices the pulled cereals lamb chicken
oysters liver white potato pureed beans, peas, lents
artchoSe hearts and the various strained foods that
are made especially for infants and invalids.
Strained vegetables cottage cheese, ice cream,
and gelatin may also be used in the diet of those
who should not take roughage.
To provide these people with suitable amounts of
non-irrtatng bulk, it is possible to provide any of
the various japanese seaweed agar preparations
which have the faculty of collecting fluid in the
bowel and developing bulk without irritation.

Now, two years after the plans
had been formulated, I drove out
from Berlin to visit one of the
finished products of the New
Farmers" program.
Here in the tiny village of Brus-
endorf an old estate of some 600
acres, with a potato distillery plant
near the manor house, had been
taken over by the government and
Subdivided into 18 small farms,
ranging from 81 to IS acres in size.
-Four great barns had been re-
built into eight dwelling houses,
with barns attached, and 10 new
combination dwelling barns had
been erected.
The new farmer had been fur
niShed four COWS, litter of pigs,
and machinery and horse equip
ment to run his place. Over all
Germany more than 10000 such
farm outfits had been established,
and within the next Is years 85.-
600 families are to be settled on
these little contained farms.

on this point. Against South's
four-spade contract, West opened
the four Of clubs, and the three
was played from dummy. Now
there is a rather general rule
quoted by beginners-never finesse

Well, of course, if East plays the
ace of clubs, declarer will have
no difficulty in making his con-
tract, as the losing heart could be

East's proper play is the nine
of clubs, South winning with the
queen. Declarer now cashes the
ace of spades and West shows out,

South now knows that he has

and therefore must try not to lose
a heart trick.
AT this point the king of dia-

be extremely unpopular with the
American people. The demand
is for strict neutrality, even in
comparatively nearby Europe. AS
for warlike moves to prevent Asia
tic territory changing masters,
opposition would almost certainly
increase with every mile of the
distance involved.
Tokyo is aware of these fac
tors. She was a bit doubtful in
September, 1881, in Manchuria.
At that time she advanced little,
protested that she intended to
withdraw as soon as the bandits"
were put down, and waited to see
what happened in Europe and
America. Only verbal protests
followed, and she barged on.
Today, Japan believes she knows
her way. Only superior force can
stop her, and none such is in sight
unless Soviet Russia decides to
take up the challenge.

NERIAlNLY the most concise and all things con-
~ sidered, the most objective description of the
Battle OF Jutland appears in new book from E. P.
Dutton & Co.
The author is Admiral Sir Roger Keyes The
book is the second volume of his memoirs He calls
it "scapa Flow to the Dover Straits, 19l6-1s1s"
1t is primarily technical history, but if the lay
reader can span the wide gaps of tactical discus
sion, he will find much of interest.
The Labor government to the Admiral is always
the Socialist Government" The London Naval
Treaty is this suicidal policy" Naval defense is
the alpha and omega of his philosophy
The Admiral states with the most emphatic con-
vction that as recently the fall of 1884 a SUBJ
stantia part of huge British loan to be spent en-
tirey on increasing the British navy could have
been foated in the United States
He says: Even Americans said thev would SUBJ
scribe to such excellent investment as a strong
British navy was the best guarantee for the peace
of the world"
Perish the thought, en- Admiral of the British
war debt?
TT is on the bridge of his warship that the Adj
l. miral appears most estimable
Concluding his description of Jutland. he says:
The German navy may well be proud of their
wonderfully constructed ships Their system of SUBJ
division made their vessels almost unsuitable and
limited the effect of mine torpedo explosion, and
the penetration of shells on the water line, to a
minimum. Their magazines were well protected
against plunging fire and they had arrangements
which safeguarded their magazines if they were hit
in a turrent Their propellant was far safer than
our highly inflammable and explosive cordite which
was responsible for the destruction OF our ships
when their nsuhciently armored currents pene-
trated. Four British currents penetrated and
three ships blew up, fate narrowly averted by the
four (the Lion). Of the more heavily armoured
German turrets nine were penetrated by British
shells which exploded inside In eight cases fires
were caused, but no ship was blown up.
Every in service is ready to give the
Germans full credit for being very brave enemy
and for having skifully extrcated themselves from
an exceedingly dangerous position. in which they
might well have been overwhelmed by vastly
superior forces But surely they are lacking in
sense of humor when they claim fight to escape
humiliation as great victory"
Sir Roger gives most complete with diagrams)
explanation of the little publicised bockading of
Zeebrugge and Ostend, and bloody description that
is. Officers with hands shot off waving their men
on, another with leg gone, directing his men while

too, it differs 100 per cent from

rather than to curtail production.
