And apparently Congress intends to do so once

Your
Health
BIZ
DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

DURING hard times, there is a
- tendency to save on food. This,
decidedly. is poor economy, because
the right foods are so essential to
health.
Do not assume, however, that you
must overeat TO be healthy Par
ticularly you do not have TO over
eat in winter to provide your body
with excess heat.
The amount of heat in our bodies
is regulated by physical means,
and is controlled more by the
amount of heat lost than by the
quantity of food taken in.
People who live without clothing
have to develop more heat than
others, because they lose more heat
from the surfaces of their bodies.
Cramming the stomach to produce
an increased amount of heat is,
therefore, a serious error.
Eskimos consume great quantities
of fat, but they have a different
problem from that which concerns
people who live in temperatures that
Beldom 60 below zero.
And don't undereat! Starvation
is bad for the human body. When
food is withheld. the whole chemis-
try of our body changes.
TINE fat is drawn on to supply
l. energy, heat is lost, temperature
regulation is difficult and after a
sufficiently long time, mental
changes occur.
Food faddists say that fasting
clears the blood, but scientific
studies show that there is rise in
the non-protein nitrogen of the
blood, decrease in chlorides and
an increase in bicarbonates during
fasting.
1t is obvious, therefore, that
neither overeating nor near-starva-
ton is advisable and that the eating
Of just the right quantity of food
Is most valuable for health.
You know, too, that you can con-
troll your weight by controlling the
quantity of bodybuilding materials
that you take in. In doing this,
however, it is necessary also to make
certain that essential food sub
stances are included in the diet.
Don't eat to overcome fatigue.
When you are tired your body needs
chance to recuperate. 1t is not
advisable to gulp great quantities
of food at such time; neither is it
wise to over-stimulate the body
with drinks or drugs to overcome
fatigue.
There is just one proper treat
ment for fatigue-rest.

operation.
This is not strictly the case, al
though the ultimate goal of the
Cooperative Movement, it is
hoped, may be to bring together all
churches, races and creeds into
such a harmonious fellowship that
the matter of church union will
automatically follow.
The gist of the Cooperative
Movement, however, is sharing. BY
sharing, mean the erection of a
system whereby the benefits Of
gainful occupation may be enjoyed
by all. 1t is not a "share-the-
wealth" scheme, but rather a share
the-income" plan whereby the con-
sumner and the producer join hands
in a method to conserve the income
from industry and agriculture by
keeping it under their own control
and management.
It is designed to remedy the fall
ure of our present system, namely,
distribution. AS some one has said,
Capitalism has been able to pro-
duce, but it has not been able to
deliver the goods"
The Cooperative Movement does
not oppose the capitalistic system.
1t only aims at it's evils. The trou-
BILE with our capitalistic system is
that there are so few capitalists.
We really don't have capitalism.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by SCIENCE SERVICE

or all the things which man
~ takes for granted in life, air is
probably the most unconsidered.
Only in the last 800 years have
scientists slowly learned what are
airs characteristics. It is no longer
the imponderable substance the
ancients thought it was.
The air in an average room for
example, weighs in the neighbour
hood of 1859 pounds. The air one
breathes during a day weighs more
than the food one eats in the same
time. And cubic foot of air weighs
slightly more than letter the POST
Office will carry for three cents. DR..
l.. H. Roller, research scientist Of
the General Electric Co., is author
ity for these facts.
No single substance is air. More
than dozen gases are found in APP
preciable proportions in it. Nitrogen
makes up 78 per cent Of the total.
Oxygen, life gas of animals and
man, totals 81 per cent. All the re-
naming constituents comprise the
4llldl pei CeIlI.
In the l per cent group are car
bon dioxide, water vapor, hydrogen
and five rare inert gases, helium,
neon, argon, krypton and xenon,
with traces of the gas random pro-
duced when radium disintegrates.
WORKING with the trades, in
w dustry, DR.. Roller points out,
now extracts two of the rare gases
and finds use for them. Argon is
employed to fill the common incsn-
descent light bulb. And neon is best
known for the red glow it produces
In advertising signs.
Helium finds use in initiating air
ships but it is more cheaply and
easily extracted from the earth in
gas wells than from the atmosphere.
After oxygen, used by man, and
carbon dioxide, used by plants, the
water vapor in the air is probably
the most important constituent. In
the average room on a humid hot
summer day there is about three
pounds of water vapor present; or
about a quart and a half.
