Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

HNE of the peculiarities OF the average American
~ is his sweet tooth And how that sweet tooth
has grown!
Back in 1926 the average American used only Is
pounds of sugar a year. The figure moved up to
As pounds in 1850, to 60 pounds in 1900, lis pounds
in 1925 and is back to 100 pounds today But todays
amount is still proportionaely more sugar than is
eaten in any other nation in the world.
There are many kinds of sugars, of course. The
commonest forms come from cane, corn and beets,
although other substances such as honey sirups
and saccharins, are used to sweeten our foods
Twenty-Five years ago, corn sugar was not re-
fined to its present state AS a result, We began
using beet sugar and cane sugar almost exclusively
Today 1t is difficult for any one but an expert to
tell the difference between cane and corn sugar
The United States Food and Drugs Administration
requires that sweetening of packaged foods, when
brought about by any other substance than cane
sugar must be indicated on the label But it no
longer is necessary to tell whether cane corn
sugar is used for Sweetening
DHYSIOLOGISTS in the field of nutrition say
Il that it is just healthy to eat corn sugar as
cane sugar.
The most common sugar used in medicine is glu-
cose dexrose It's chief value lies in the fact that
1t is absorbed rapidly and it does not require special
digestion
In fact 1t is prepared in such form that
doctors may inject it in a weak solution under the
skin in those parts of the body where the skin is
loose
1t may also be injected directly into the vein if
the person requires the effects of sugar rapidly This
is particularly the case when he has had over
dose of insulin when he is in condition of shock
when his pancreas is sending too much insulin into
his blood, or when surgical operations are to be
performed on galbladder or liver
Saccharn also used for Sweetenng, is chemical
product ard does not provide calories does sugar

Today's Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

ZACH year thc mailman brings to my desk fat
~ little volume which is monument to the tri-
umph of science 1t is the annual edition of the
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics"
AT this moment I have before me the twentieth
edition AS usual, it is edited by Prof Charles D.
Hodgman of Case School of Applied Science.
The book has now grown to 1851 pages-almost
1000 pages of fine print all devoted to the tabulaton
of facts. remember my physics teacher at high
school defined science the orderly classification of
knowledge
TN this book, you have it, the tabulation of exact
facts. the facts upon which the scientific marvels
of the Twentieth Century based. Here are the
facts which make possible skyscrapers and suspen-
sion bridges. radios and transatlantic telephones
airships and airplanes, synthetic dyes and new pas
tics.
The handbook is an invaluable aid to chemists
and engineers, research workers in general and to
college and hlgh school students. 1t would make
nne Christmas present for any one in these classic
cations.

Why All the Shooting?

TINE Republican cry about economy grows fainter
a and yet fainter as the Townsendtes display
their strength in c. o. P. primaries. And if Glenn
Frank sounds the bugle for attack what becomes of
the famous fight against TugWell and all the other
professors in politics? 1t is too late now for Dr.
Frank to hook his Phi Beta Kappa key and hide his
cap and gown. After ALL he can not appropriately
make his address in overalls.
The tumut and the shouting are so we'll staged
this year that the melodrama for a moment almost

excellent theatrlcalism Of it all that 1 was begin
mig to hiss the villain and applaud the hero
But If the Republicans and the Democrats are
going to stand for approximately the same things
as they always have done in the past it is fair to
ask, What's all the shooting for?"
Indeed, the management has been so excellent
that some of the boys in the cast are actually be-
ginning TO live their parts. There are Republicans
In the troupe who have spoken their prepared lines
about Roosevelts being a dangerous red so many
times that by now they actually beginning to

II knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 81.
AA If you're going to under
stand IVA Tennessee Valley
Authority at all, you've got to get
it into your head first just where
the Tennessee Valley is.
The Valley" as they call it
down here, means the whole area
that drains into the meandering
Tennessee River, and that takes
in lot of territory. Also, the
Tennessee River is a crazy river.
1t starts up in eastern Tennes-
see. Since its valley includes
rivers that run into the Tennes-
see, IVA really starts way back
east in Virginia and North Caro-
lima.
The Tennessee River itself &C
tually gets started just above
Knoxville, then it heads down
through Chattanooga, toward New
Orleans. 1t misses the northwest
corner of Georgia by about mile.
1t enters Alabama in the north
east corner, changes its mind
about going to New Orleans and
makes big swing back toward
the north, and comes out of Ala
bama right at the northeast cor
ner of Mississippi. 1t really forms
the boundary of Mississippi for a
few miles, but never actually en-
tiers the state. 1t is swinging back
north now, you see, and has got
back into Tennessee again, only
now it's in western Tennessee. 1t
has decided it prefers the Ohio
river to the Gulf of Mexico, so it
keeps right on going north, clear
across Tennessee and then Ken
lucky, till it pourS into the Ohio
at Paducah, KY.
TT never gets into the deep
l. South, although its tributaries,
which form the Tennessee Valley
and hence IVA, do go about a
third of the way down into
Mississippi and Alabama, and
catch a corner of Georgia.
Now, it seems that this whole
Tennessee Valley region, for
good many years. has been in a
bad way because of erosion. Don't
think erosion is just some plati-
tudinous New Deal word either.
1t really is something actual; one
of those insidious things like T. B.
