The Nazis are boycotting the
Schmeling-Louis fight next sum-
mer. They have worked up a child
ish ridiculous theory of racial SUI
periority, which if they were really
superior, they would not need. The
Schmeling-Louis fight, especially
since it will almost inevitably mean
the defeat of the German, won't
enhance their theory bit. So
they're going to bury their mud
died heads in the sand and pre-
tend it isn't happening.
In the same paper announcing
the boycott, it is rumored on good
authority that Germany and Japan
have made a secret treaty to help
one another in case either Of them
goes to war with Russia. Japan
ese, the Germans now seriously
maintain since they need them, are
not really colored people at all!
If you have not caught on to
this method of reasoning already
maybe l can explain it. When the
Europeans first embraced Christi
anity they were serfs and a reli-
gion of humility and selfsacrifice
suited them. When centuries lat
er, they got hold of firearms and
started on the conquest of the
world, their new role did not live"
with Christianity. To justify their
actions they made up the theory
of color inferiority. 1t worked
very well for a while but now con-
stantly gets them in hot water.
Forty years ago Pierre Lott called
the Japanese little brown monkeys,
and all Europe applauded. But now
that Japan is strong and Nordic
nation needs her, she miraculous

call that recently Ethiopia was
white. That was while she SEEM

that they are winning, she will I'M

IOWA DOCTORS WRONG
Doctors at the University of Iowa
have just announced to the world
that corn sugar is better than
cream and butter for building |
weight in children. Dextrose, a I.
form Of sugar extracted from corn |
does not, they argue, carry the high |
percentage of waste matter that I,
the fats carry and therefore they
think it must be better. Don't be
fooled by such nonsense. Re-
member that Iowa is corn pro-
ducing State and that the Doctors
may be just 'buttering' their own
bread with such a statement. Ma
ture intended that there should be
waste matter in what we eat. Too
highly concentrated purified foods,
so-called, burn up our insides. Be-
sides, weight is not an end in it.
self. Stock raisers have learned
the difference between good and
bad weight. Market cattle fed on
hot pressed cotton-seed meal will
gain weight rapidly for ninety days,
then, if you can't get them to
market Immediately, they go blind.
Butter and cream do more than
build weight, they build health too,
directly benefiting the eyes, the
lungs, the teeth and enriching the
blood. Experiments on animals
give good grounds for believing
that the "dextrins" (corn syrup
widely advertised for infant feed
ing) are very bad for the aliment-
airy tract. The initial price OF
corn syrup is cheap but the final
price you will pay in doctor bills
