Your Health
: BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN :

T ONG ago. when it was first realized that human
L. beings ought TO have certain amount of min
eral substances daily in their diets, good deal of
emphasis began to be placed on iron.
Eventually there came the fad for ralSlnS which
people ate to increase the iron in their blood Actu-
ally the raisn is eXcelled by good many other sub
stances in iron content.
Investigators at the University of Michigan have
made some stddes to find Ont how mich iron the
normal human being requires each day. There are
lots of ways of going about this problem.
One of the first to find out how much iron
was lost from the body every day in the excretons.
Obviously the iron that was lost ought to be re-
placed to keep the balance
NEXT the ordinary foods eaten by average people
~ were studied to find out how much iron was
taken into the body every day.
These diets then were tested not only on normal
people but people who were i'll.
AS a result OF these studies it was found that
the iron requirement of the normal adult male is
not more than five mgrams each day. Five bill
grams means actually fiVe-thOuSandS of gram.
Since there 425 grams in pound, it is easy to
estimate what small amount of iron is actually
concerned in this minimum requirement.
VXTOMEN may require more iron at certain in
w tervals than at others. However. even under
these circumstances, only 81 milligrams of iron is
needed each day.
1t is relatively simple to get this amount of iron
into the human body, since such foods meats,
whole wheat bread apples, tomato juice, eggs and
many other substances provide some iron
The ordinary person does not need extra iron
in the form of pills. This does not apply however
in which there is considerable loss not only OF the
blood cells but of the red cooring matter in the cells
For such people extra amounts of iron are re-
quired.

Il VERY once IN while some dispute over flInda-
mentalism reminds us that millions of peops
regard the King James version of the Bible as divns
revelation, word by word, rather than the man-made
Vigorously compiled document it is
AS long as this is true, messages which the
modern world greatly needs" will remain obscured
IN obsolete phraSeology in the opinion of Dr. Edgar
j. Goodspeed who has spent years studying the sub
Ject and who, with J. M P Smith published an
american Translation" of the Bible few wears
ago.
AS the first step toward better understanding
the University of Chicago Press has lust published
the transators original preface to the King James
version intended by the who did this work to
convey to the reader their doubts and difficulties
The preface has been omitted from English Bibles
since 1921.
"nM1SS1ON of this preface by publishers for
~ more than 100 years has resulted in a great
many curious and carefully cherished misconcep-
ions concerning the King James Version" saws DR.
Goodspeed in a foreWord to this work
First of these is the notion that the King James
version is the original For these people the
illuStrouS services of Bible translators from Will
liam Tyndale to Matthew Parker simply do not
exist they are actually unconscious that there ia
any more ultimate form of the Bible to translate
or consult And yet they are not so much to blame
the publishers who have so steadily deprived them
of the protection which the King James preface so
amply and ably provided
another extraordinary view is that the King
James Version verbally inspired But the great
est illusion of all about the King James Bible is that
it Is the sole, unique, divine Bible untouched by
human hands In fact, the general impression is
that 1t originated in some other better world than
ours.
The great message of the Old and New Tesla
ments were never necessary than in our present
confused and hurried life. At the same time our
changing English speech has carried us farther and
fartner from the sixteenth Century dicton in which
all our standard versions are clothed" CBy Ruth

OF late, Virginia M Bacon has become mighty

the organization is red she cites, among other things
the fact that it gave aid in campaigns for the re-
lease of political prisoners-particularly Mooney and
Billings in California; Angelo Herndon in Atlanta
and against all prosecutions under sedton and
criminal SynCCaSm laws
Is it really radical to insist that innocent
should not be punished? Is it radical to argue that
the penalty against Angelo HerndOn was based on
an archaic law trumped up to suit the purpose of
Georgian red-baers? If that is really the position
of the best conservative minds 1 am going to put

VOTING THE WAR CREDIT

COLEMNLY, but without cere-
- mony Mr.. Marshall signed the
resolution and laid the historic
pen away; and as the document
was sent on its way to the White
House, the Senate turned to vote
the first S10O,000,O00 war credit
a teacup from the oceans Of ex-
panditure which were to follow.
That was all. At the Metropoll-
tan Opera House that night, Ger
aldine Farrar stepped before the
curtain bearing great American
flag and sang the Star Spangled
Banner: while in the offices Of the
New York Tribune they we're pre-
pairing a single, three word head.
America in Armageddon'' it would
say next morning.
On the Western Front that day,
in Italy and the Balkans, along
the crumbling battle lines in Rus
STA, in the far north and in the
tropics and on the gray seas, the
war had mangled its usual num-
Der of human bodies, inflicted it's
usual hurts and tortures, closed
another day in its long, routine
tale of agony.
But all that, for the moment,
was very far away. America, men
simply thought, was in the war;
and among them all, none quite
knew how it had happened, nor
why, nor what precisely it might
mean
America was in the war.

Must KnOU Need of EmciencU

Nov, 1 believe it is fair to guess that when Mr.
Davis is called into consultation by some great
corporation he must. on many occasions, point out
the necessity Of Closeknt organization for purposes
of efficiency.
And yet it seems to me undeniabe that the gov
eminent of the United States under our present
seup, IS not only corporation but the largest going
business concern in all the land. If Capitalization
OF authority is necessary for United States Steel
think 1t would be foolish for Washington to attempt
to operate an administration upon the basis of an
unlimited series of local checks and balances
When John Davis breaches one philosophy of or
ganizatOn to private corporations and another to the
state gravely suspect that he gives the best of his
intellect to his clients and the back of his hand to
the government. l think he would keep the state
weak so that the corporations shall continue strong
and mighty
And if 1 find myself in a sort of Diogenial despair
over discovering an Intellectually honest man among
the conservatives I must admit that l have had no
greater luck in searching through the statements of
reactionary and Republican women.

FIRST ACT OF WAR

A T Governors Island, as the
L n oratory had been flowing,
the Twenty Second United States
Infantry had slept on its arms"
awaiting the first call to battle
against the interned German lin
ers in the North River.
At their piers Mr.. Dudley Field
Malone, the Collector of the Port,
had massed 900 customs agents
ready for the seizure, and at in
the morning Mr.. Malone himself
was routed out by a telephone
call from Washington announce
ing that the hour had come.
Rapidly the troops were dis
tributed to the various piers, the
police and the reporters we're
ready and presently Mr.. Malone
came hurrying upon the scene in
the early light.
At the gangway of the Vaterland
he found Commodore Hans Ru-
ser, the master of the great ship.
The two men, who were ac-
quainted, smiled at each other.

the first speech in opposition, the
white faces of the listeners
reached up in an unbroken sweep
to the caves of the chamber. On
the floor, the rail was lined with
members of the House, who came
to stand there by the hour.
The afternoon wore on. Sena-
tor McCumber of North Dakota
made a feeble attempt to soften
and neutralize the resolution, and
failed ANONYMOUSLY.
The excitement died away in a
steady drone of speech-making
beneath galleries crowded, hushed
and intent. They heard noble
sentiments from the war faction
and weak explanations from one

Senator Hitchcock asked unani-
nous consent for its immediate
consideration.
But at once the grim figure of
Senator La Toilette arose in its
place in the front row of the
Senate chamber.

that the joint resolution go over

expostulation from Mr.. Hitch

Senator La Toilette was I'M

possible alternatives-to enforce

off our commerce from both. Sun

At II minutes past II the vote
was reached.

was announced there was no DEM

The Senate had adopted the
War Resolution by a vote of 80

A T once the close atten-
ton "deepened into a
breathless silence" On the
Chief Justices face there
appeared an expression of
profound satisfaction. The
President continued, point
ing out the weaknesses of
that solution, the practical
certainty that it could only
lead to the war it had been
designed to prevent.
And then-did he draw a
breath? There is one
choice we can not make, we
are incapable of making; we
will not choose the path of
submission"
At the word, the Chief
Justice, with an expression
Of joy and thankfulness,
dropped the big soft hat he
had been holding, raised his
hands high in the air and
brought them together
with a heartfelt bang, and
House, Senate and galleries
followed him with a roar"

at last to his perora-
ton:
ut is a distressing and
oppressive duty, gentlemen
of the Congress, which |
have performed in thus adj
dressing you. There are, it
may be, many months of
fiery trial and sacrifice
ahead of us. 1t is a fearful
thing to lead this great
peaceful people into the
most terrible and disas-
trous of all wars. But
the right is more precious
than peace, and we shall
fight for all the things
which we have always car
ried nearest to our hearts
for democracy, for the right
of those who submit to au-
thority to have a voice in
their own governments, for
the rights and liberties of
small nations, for a univer-
sal dominion of right by
such a concert of free peo-
pies as shall bring peace
and safety to all nations
and make the world itself
at last free.
