boxes of matches, vases, ash trays,
jewel boxes, tie racks, candy dishes,
a thousand and one different kinds
of bridge prizes, Christmas tree
lights and many other articles too
numerous to mention. Every one of
the mentioned articles can be made
in the United States.
Japanese workmen are poorly
paid, live in shacks, eat cheapiy and
their morale is very low. United
States buys from them {Japan)
pays duty and several other costs,
and floods our stores with goods
from a nation that carries on war
in cruel, ruthless manners.
Why should American dollars go
to the support of Japan? Millions
of American workmen are idle, and
millions of dollars worth of jap
anese goods on American counters.
1t surely doesn't make sense.
Why not have a real Buy Amer

an ash tray made in Japan at a s.
and 10-cent price, we as patriotic
citizens of the U S. A. should be
perfectly willing to buy an ash tray
made in the U. S. A. at a 10-and20-
cent price.
Surely the American workman is
worth twice that of japanese
workman.

Health
DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
THE smooth diet usually is rec

THE smooth diet usually is rec
Il commended in cases in which
the stomach or the intestines do
not seem to act normally. This
type of diet, for instance. COM
monty is recommended for persons
convalescing from infectious dis
eases or childbirth.
Since 1882, when DR.. William
Beaumont made his study of the
stomach on Mackinac Island. it has
been known that some foods pass
out of the stomach quicker than
others. Dr. Beaumont was able TO
look into the stomach of a man
whose side had been shot away by
a shotgun charge and to see how
this organ worked.
Pure carbohydrates or sugars pass
out of the stomach more quickly
than do proteins, and much more
quickly than fats.
Cruel leaves the stomach more
rapidly than dry carbohydrates or
cereals. Large Jumps of meat stay
in the stomach much longer than
minced meat. Liquid meals start to
leave the stomach as soon as they
are swallowed A soft diet moves
along more rapidly than one with
much celluloSe or roughage.
If you have trouble with digestion,
make sure that there is no serious
disease present before adopting a
smooth diet. Your doctor should
make certain that you do not have
heart disease, ulcer of the stomach,
or diverticuli, little pouches in the
walls of the stomach or the intes-
tines.
DOCTORS know that danger or
~ mental distress will cause loss
of appetite and difficulties with di-
gestion. Many a man suffers from
Indigestion because he leads cat
and-dog existence at home and al
ways wrangles at mealtime. Some
times a rest or vacation will serve
much better than a soft diet to cure
this kind of stomach trouble.
Stout men, once athletic, who
have become f1abby and fat due to
sedentary occupations, frequently
will improve their digestion by fair
amounts of exercise. II is better to
bring about that kind of improve
ment than to coddle the trouble by
eating baby food.
We do know that many foods
irritate. Foods with fibers or fats
do so mechanically. Foods such as
vinegar, horse radish, pepper, mus
tard, pickles, spices and condiments
may irritate because of their
chemical qualities. Sweets-candy,
icingS and Observation-Disclosures of
their concentration, will also irritate
the delicate mucous membrane of
a sensitive stomach. Fried and
greasy foods, and hot bread, are
handled with difficulty by so-called
weak stomachs" Salads contain
ing celery, tomato, cucumber, and
pineapple may cause trouble. Beans.
cabbage, onions. green or red
peppers, cucumbers, and peanuts
may be associated with what is
called a gassy condition.
These are some Of the foods that
should not be eaten by those who
know their digestions are delicate.

When the battle was won Al Smith
was rewarded with a kick in the
pants that unseated his brown
derby. More party loyalty! Al Smith
was a loyal Democrat in 1928 and
again in 1882. He stood the test, but
his party failed him.
I don't pretend TO know what lie
is now. If he has had to seek COM
partnership among strangers, that is
tragic indictment of his own
party, for no man has worked
harder for the Democratic machine
than has Al Smith. Politics made
strange d-fellows in 1928. Is it SO
surprising that this phenomenon
should be repeated in 1896?
1t wasn't so much what Al Smith
said, or where he said it. What
shocked the New Dealers was that
the words came from man who
always has worshiped at the DON
keys shrine-right or wrong. 1t
may be that Al has grown up since
1928. Surely he has had ample OPP
portunity to see political gang rule
in its worst form during these years.
Perhaps he has decided that it is
more patriotic to be a good Ameri-
can than to be blind follower of
the jackass.
Why not give him the benefit Of
the doubt? After all, professional
politicians, with few exceptions,
wear the same service stripes, and
as long as our elected representa-
tives in Washington genuflect to the
bankers and big business and thumb
their noses at the taxpayers we need
not hope for relief from Liberty
League plutocracy or New Deal bu-
reaucracy, regardless of who sits in
the White House or who speaks at
what dinner.
What this country needs is more
loyal Americans and fewer selfish
politicians.

is destined to pass into the realm
of unnecessary noises. The General
Electric research laboratory has per-
fected a noiseleSs switch.
Not only is the new switch noise
less, but it is no larger than 9
marble. 1t utilities mercury to
make and break the electric con-
tact. While it sounds somewhat
complicated to describe, the General
Electric engineers say that its
manufacture is extremely simple,
and that it is practically impos-
sible to wear it out.
The switch consists of two shall
low chrome steel cups about three
quarters of an inch in diameter.
These are sealed together with g.
strip of lead glass to form hollow
compartment. Separating the cups
is a disk of ceramic material in
which there is a small hole, located
near the edge of the disk.
THE air is evacuated from the
4 switch and enough mercury
put in it to fill about one-fourth
of the interior. The switch is then
filled with hydrogen gas at at
mospheric pressure and the hole
through which the air was with
drawn and the mercury and hydro
gen inserted is sealed.
The two steel cups constitute the
two sides of the switch.
1t is in the off" position when
the hole in the disk between the two
cups is at the top. In this posi-
ton the circuit is open, since there
is no contact between the two steel
cups.

He died within two hours despite
frantic efforts of eight physicians
who rcsorted to blood TRANSMISSION.
Death was attributed to shock and

A. L.. Bowen, director Of the state
Department of Public Welfare, prom
ised a searching investigation Of the
Staying. He aided States Attorney
William r. McCabe and Warden
Joseph r.. Ragen in questioning six
convicts.
The States attorney said early to-
day he had prepared warrant
charging Day with murder. He added
it would be served after the coroner'a
jury made its recommendation at an
inquest for today.
The body OF Loeb. who was 30 years
old, was taken from the prison to
Chicago secretly. States Attorney Nc
Gable said he understood the victim
would be buried in Chicago at 9 a..

make public anytof the details.

solved by the prison authorities.
