Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN =

NEARLY everybody thinks he knows combna-
tions of foods which disagree with him.
Perhaps such diets do disagree, but that is not
because of anything inherently wrong with the foods
Nevertheless, half dozen dietary faddsts have
during recent years. weakened the confidence of peo-
pie in their diets and in their foods generally by
guing that certain foods invariably dangerous in
combination, and that health can be maintained
only by avoiding such mixtures.
Notwithstanding the fact that many generations
of Americans nave grown up on meat and potatoes
there are faddiSts who insist that proteins should
never be mixed with carbohydrates. Then there are
those who say that an over-amount of acid is ex-
ceedingy dangerous and that certain foods will in
variably cause acid.
Now let me say at tlat there are very few
pure food proteins and that those who want to eat
pure protein will have to live egg white.
THE human body is maintained in health at
Aconstant level of mild alkanity. If the body ever
becomes acid in reaction it dies All foods after the
process of digestion ended yield substance which
is either acid or alkaline that foods may be CLASH

substances which tend to produce acid may result in

meat, egg yolks, and fish prominent among the

Hence, human being in good health can not nos
siby be acid.
THERE are, however certain diseases in which the
tendency of the body is toward acid
Diabetes is the most conspicuous example In
such conditions there is actually accumulation of
organic acids in the body, resulting from the fact
that the body does not up correctly the food sub

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

CREATION of permanent Scientific Advisory
~ Board to serve expert counsel to the United
States Government in the operation of its scientific
bureaus and in the establishment of national policy
on scientific research is recommended in the final re-
port of President Roosevelts Scientific Advisory
Board.
This board appointed July 81 1888 automatically
went out OF existence on Dec. of this year. Under
the leadership of its chairman Dr. Karl T. Comp
ton, president of Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology this board performed splendid and valuable
piece OF work in the two years of its existence
IT Is to be hoped sincerely that President Roosevelt
l. and Congress will act upon the suggestion of DR.
Compton and his colleagues and undertake the es-
adjustment OF permanent board. The need for
such board, already plain in 1888 has been made
doubly so by the record of performance of Dr. Comp
tons board.

penters and Joiners, speaking, also
from Oregon:
THE lowered tariff will cause
irreparable injury, throwing open
the floodgates to products of
Z, British Columbia and Hindu and
Chinese labor
They are going into the files
in the Northwest for Mr.. Roose-
velt's 1882 campaign discussion of
tariffs. He might as well prepare
now to explain some of the things
said in that year when the then
President Hoover was Raging him
from the hastings about reciprocal
trade agreements.
HOOVER said about all foreign
- nations wanted was freer
entry for their agricultural pro-
ducts. So, Mr.. Roosevelt explained
that he didn't intend to lower any
agricultural duties. At Baltimore
three years ago, Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
"Of course it is absurd to talk
of lowering tariff duties on farm
products. do not intend that
such duties shall be lowered"
But the Roosevelt opposition is
whooping it up now on the theme
that after seeking the Pacific
Coast through trade deals with
Japan and Australia, Mr.. Roose-
welt has invited the competitor
closest at hand to come in and get
his.
A labor poll taken the other day
indicated the Republicans had
long way to go before they caught
up with Mr.. Roosevelt's populari-
ty. Questions were put to steve
dores, truck drivers, sales girls,
railroad men, machinists, iahorers
and lumbermen.
The statistician reported SO per
cent of the workers polled favored
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies and said
they would vote for him next year.
Some IS per cent were anti-Roose-
welt. The remaining 16 per cent
said they didn't care who was
elected and probably would not
vote.

third, the finest equipment in
Europe.
BY demanding dollar-for dollar
trade agreements, antagonizing
the Jews, interfering with other
church elements and devoting her
energies to building up war
army she destroyed overnight
what it had taken a generation to
build.
Her 1929 world trade of nearly
100000 900 dwindled to roughly
,000000,000. Taxes are crush
ingly high, business difficult and
diScouraging.
Germany's land and resources
simply are inadequate for her am
billions. She can't grow more than
80 per cent of her normal food
necessities and totally lacks many
raw materials such as cotton and
rubber.
Under her poor soil is INSULT
cient iron ore, copper, zinc and
petroleum with plenty only of
potash and coal.

A T the lowest estimate the
n Reich needs annually from
America S125 100000 worth of cot
ton gasoline, copper, sulphur,
phosphates and lumber for mill
tary stores, but it would be impos-
sible to pay for these supplies.
Most of her exports to America
are finished goods such as toys,
porcelains, mouth organs and fab
ric prints.
Seventy-five per cent of German
exports to America are handled
through New York Jewish import
ers and four ifths of this bust
ness has been lost through a boy
colt.
Meanwhile, she sticks out her
chest and goosesteps toward an
unknown fate. When she no long
er can pour millions into her war
factories, unemployment is certain
to follow.
If matters become desperate,
then riots-even civil war, born of
hunger-and economic collapse
might come to Germany before
war comes to the world.
But Germans are disciplined,
the dictatorship is powerful, and
Hitler may be able to hold the
masses in line no matter what
happens.
1t is conceivable that the army
might some day in a crisis move
against the Nazi dictatorship, but
never against Hitler.

First line of Democratic defense
is that the lumber tariff was a
New Deal inspiration in the first
instance. Republican administra-
tions refused from 1929 to 1882 to
put barriers against Canadian
lumber and shingles.
D EP. WALGREN, Cd, Wash0,
~ a resident of Everett, in the
center of the red cedar shingle
area, explained it this way:
"The Republican party from
1929 to 1882 refused to place any
sort of tariff on lumber and
shingles. The reciprocal tariff
agreement with Canada as it re-
lates to lumber and shingles is
not attacked especially by lumber
men but by Republican politicians
who hope to use the trade agree
ment in the presidential cam
paign."

Rats! One large Portland mill
cuts 300,000,000 feet of lumber
year. You can't tell me that re-

smaller amount of lumber than is
