NO SATISFACTORY
TREATMENT FOR
BLACK HEADS

AS much as has been done about
pimples and blackheads, it has been
pointed out that a completely salts
factory treatment has not yet been
developed.
True, the use Of X-ray has help
ed in controlling many cases which
previously could not be corrected.
But there still are cases which fail
to respond to any of the methods now
used. One reason is that we are not
yet certain just what is the cause of
acne, as this skin trouble is called.
The pimple begins as a blackhead.
1t is the general opinion that the black
head begins by some sort of mechan-
ical blocking of tiny duct or hole
from which a secretion ordinarily
would come for purposes of oiling the
skin and keeping it moist.
Sometimes due to external irrita-
tion, such as comes from oil, wax or
parrafin, the pimples form promptly
without blackheads. AS soon as the
blackheads forms, however, there is

needed only a small amount of irri-
tation and infection for. the pimple
to follow.
Because some people develop pim-
pies and others do not, various sug-
gestions have been made as to the
cause. Some Investigators are con-
vinced that the glands by their activ-
ity make the difference; other are
certain that food is primarily respon-
sible, and particularly overindulgence
in sugar.
Among recent methods of treat
ment for acne are ultraviolet rays,
viamins and vaccines. A few doc
tors have found the ultraviolet rays
useful, but the majority of opinion
indicates that it's usefulness is very
limited.
Other observers have reported that
fairly large doses of vitamin D were
helpful in acne, but attempts to con-
firm these opinions have failed.
A great many physicians have used
vaccines made from germs associated
with acne, but the majority of evil
dence fails to support any real use
fulness in this method in most cases.
The X-ray seems to be really de-
pendable agent and is apparently able
to secure good result in as many as
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1935-08-30

80 per cent of cases treated over q
period of from three to four months.
The X-ray, however, is powerful and
should not be used by any except ex-
perienced physicians.
Everyone now recognizes that anem-
la, constipation of other intestional dis
turbances should be properly treated
as one of the first steps in taking
care of acne. If there are any special
sensitivities to various substances,
these should be brought under control.
X-ray does not seem to be a per-
manent method of treatment in those
under 18 years of age. For those be-
tween 18 and 25, however, the X-ray
seems to be the method of choice.

turned away from her and went into

women before her!

Thoreau would have remarked that what

how far their voices carry. 1t is important,
however, that science is making the world

who span the globe with speech, listen to radio

CAUSE AND EFFECT

IF the unexpected twists and turns of poll
l. tics sometimes seem confusing, it is well
to remember that nothing ever happens in a
vacuum. There's a reason for everything, and
the law of cause and effect operates just as
inexoraby in politics as it does in physics.
Recent news dispatches provide an excel
lent Illustration.
Seventeen thousand people damned great
hall in Detroit to cheer enthusiastically when
Father Coughln called on them to drive out
of public life the men who have promised us
redress and failed"
On the same day. Senator Huey Long told
Washington correspondents that he doesn't
give a damn for party labels or platform"
and that he will support some such man as
Senator Borah, Senator Norris, or Senator
Nye for the presidency in 1886.
Now these two developments are extremely
significant. They bespeak an upsurge of in
dgnation on the part of the publican i'm
patient anger at the delays and failures of
existing political organizations. And when
you try to find the reason for this anger, you
learn something interesting.
On the day that these two developments
occurred, legislative committee investigating
alleged relief graft in Ohio questioned Francis
w Poulson, state Democratic chairman
Mr. Poulscn admitted that the party COL
lected campaign funds from firms which did
business with the state relief administration;
and when he was asked if these firms con-
tributed for the purpose of getting more bust
ness, he asked, did any one ever make a
political contribution for any other purpose?"
A committee member found this shocking.
Mr.. Poulson replied that "only the most
naive could believe that people would give
money to political party just because they
wanted to play Santa Claus"
All this is worth some extended thought.
Remember, first that. every political party
finances its campaigns by means of contri-
buttons. That's true of all CAMPAIGNS
county, city, state and national. The money
Is collected from individuals and corporations.
Remember, secondly, that we have here an
experienced politician openly stating that no
one ever contributed to such fund unless he
expected to get some sort of favor in return.
Can you begin to understand, now. the
tremendous amount of pressure that is eter-
nally asSailng all our units of governments
from Washington down? Is it surprising that
the ordinary voters wishes are SO often ig-
nored? Is it any wonder that the voters are
getting fed up?
This cynical disclosure in Ohio makes IL
easy to see whence comes the discomfort which
provides following for such men as Father
Coughlin and Senator Long.

THE BIGGEST MARKET

MOT even the governments giant works
relief program can solve the depression

Millions are idle Yet survey of housing
in 81 American cities directed by the Depart

In modern cities, none of these convent
ences could be termed "extravagances."

THE COST OF WAR

of responsibility for Americas 350OOO,000 an

No. it wasn't that the women Of 1917 daubed
themselves with war paint and found it be-
coming. 1t was-but better let Mr.. McQuade
explain:
women before the war neglected their looks
after marriage. While the men were overseas

used for bandages, shortened dresses.
when the men returned, their wives no.
ticed approving glances of the husbands at
the trim younger women they passed on the
streets, and as a result they began trying to
improve their own looks to keep in compe-
ttion"
