NEGLECTING THE AGED

maximum pension of $50 month Payments are
to be made on the basis of need, however and the
average is estimated at $40. The county is to con-
tribute 20 per cent, the state 80 per cent the Fed

THE RING RULES
a scRIPPs-HOwARp NEwspApEn

Mr.. JOEL A. BAKER politician of unenviable
reputation. has been named County Welfare
Director The official announcement is not news
The plan had leaked out several days in advance
Non-partisan groups of citizens protested and
several persons declined to serve on the board But
the plan went through
That is not surprising. The political ring rules
AS long as the voters permit it to remain in power
1t will continue to rule
Inc issue is not only whether the welfare of the
aged the blind and the orphans should be intrlsted
to politician of Mr.. Joel A. Bakers reputation but
to any professional politician The position is one
for non-political trained welfare director of the
highest type.
This is the issue of partisan political domination
upon which the voters will pass when they get
chance.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BysMrs. Walter Ferguson

ME presses are turning out floods of books which
tell how to live and to succeed. Some are excel
lenC; some are lnnocuous At the top of the list of
good ones must be put Dorothea Brande's wake
up and Live" manual for the full existence that
is quite as fine and much simple than the tones
OF some modern philosophers. 1t makes quick d.
rect appeal to the practical busy individual who has
to earn his living and yet wants to gather few hya
cnths for his soul as he does So
Nobody, daresay, will follow all her rules, but
when she says that the will to fail is strong within
us, know she is right "Act as if it were impossi-
BILE to fail" is the advice she gives For one strong
enough to accept the challenge, it must be good.
Next comes Wash Young, the life insurance agent
who turned author, with another well-1avored dish
of predgested food in BE Kind to Yourself" His is
a rollicking hold he-right-mental attitude
youl-be-sure sign customer philosophy that
is bound to click at the bookshops
Yet somehow all these jubilant mordern philoso-
phies skim too lightly over the depths within us;
they fail to consider the truest desires of the hui
man heart. For they assume blithely that worldly
success and happiness are sufficient for a good
existence. Through pleasant and devious ways they
always come back to the ideal of material well-be
ing.
They make good reading; many people will be
helped by them But if you want something to pump
courage into your shrinking heart to give vitality
to a withernw zeal, you can't beat the ancients,
those philosophers who believed that man carries the
Kingdom of God within himself and who were
more anxious to feed the soul than the body or the
mind.
There will never be better rules for living than
those written in the Greatest OF Books in which IL
is said: Wisdom is the principal thing; there
fore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get under
standing"

DEADLINE FOR VOTERS

A FTER today, branch Offices in the city for the
convenience of voters registering for the Nav 5
primary election will close The other branch offices
in Marion County will remain open day longer
But residents who ornerwise are qualified to cast
ballot will have until midnight Monday to register
at the central registration office at the Courthouse
Judging from the turnout so far at the branch
Offices there will be continued rush until the dead
line. At first it estimated that Is 900 persons in
Marion County would have to register or reregster
to make the full voting strength of the county elig-
BILE for the primary. Some now estimate that the
new registrations and transfers will exceed that
number Registration officials have been swamped
In many places. Citizens have stood in line to make

the voting booths in May.
One point to remember, however, is that much
of this interest has been stirred by party precinct
workers There seems little danger that any consid-
cradle segment of the partisan vote will be over
looked. The important thing is that those who have
not been solicited should get to the registration
Office and qualify to vote in the primary
This is particularly true of those who are eligi-
BILE for the first time this year because of age those
who are not registered, and those who have

GONE people argue that meat
~ tends to produce constipation.
The reason, of course, is it's concen-
tration.
But a meat diet should always
be supplemented by adequate
amounts Of fruits, vegetables, and
bulky substances. Such a diet will
not produce constipation.
The records of Explorer Stefans-
son have shown that it is possible
to live on an exclusive meat diet
successfully and without producing
serious changes in the normal body.
Some time ago two Arctic explor-
ers living in New York were given
an exclusive meat diet for a whole
year. 1t was found that this diet
did not affect their blood pressure
or in any way lessen their physical
or mental vigor.
You should remember, however
that Eskimos, who lively largely on
meat, eat the various organs as well
as the lean muscle meats.
Meat essentially forms a
high protein diet. Some people
without cause, fear proteins, which
are the building materials of oul
tissues.
Proteins from all meats, includ-
ing those from fish and chicken
are of about the same type. Chem

news of the Veterans of Future Wars
to be news of the Veterans of For
eign Wars.
News releases said the Veterans of
Future Wars have urged the Lobby
Committee of Congress to demand
that the American Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars submit
their books for the inspection of the
committee. These demands are
laughable to say the least, as both
the American Legion and the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars are recipients
Of charters granted by Congress, and
as such, whenever called upon to do
so by proper authority, must pro-
duce their books for inspection by
that authority.
It is significant that the Veter-
ans of Future Wars did not demand
that the Lobby Committee call for
the books of the American eVterans'
Association, which already has been
investigated by the committee, and
which is controlled by and is a
brain child of the United States
Chamber of Commerce and Wall
Street. AS proof of the above state
ment, we wish to cite the records of
the Lobby Committee of the House
of Representatives
1t is very evident that some very
large group of people is using these
students as a shield to ridicule the
veterans of all wars because the
larger group is afraid to come out
in its own colors and do so. The
most logical of all groups to under
take this underhand method is the
United States Chamber of Com
merce and its brain-child, the Ma
tional Economy League, both of
which organizations oppose any
and all laws, proposed and already

lists do not find any special differ
ences between the red meat which
comes from cattle and that which
comes from sheep. Yet people who
fear meats will stop beef and con-
tlnue to take lamb, fish, and
chicken.
ID ED meats contain certain ex-
IN tractives which are not
present in white meats, but there
is no more danger from red meats
than there is from the white va
riety.
Meats vary in their vitamin con-
tent. Ordinary muscle tissues con-
tain few vitamins,. but the glandu-
lar organs and the animal fats and
oils supply important vitamins in
large amounts.
Proteins of meat seem to have
digestibility similar to that of
milk and eggs. The extractives in
meat aid digestion by stimulating
flow of the digestive juices from
the stomach.
Digestibility of the fat in meat
is controlled by the amount taken,
the extent to which it is suitably
broken up by chewing, and similar
factors. These factors control also
the length of time that the food
stays in the stomach.

CONTENDS VETERANS OF Flu
TURE WARS FORMED FOR


RIDICULE
BY Forest S. Marshall, Commander, Brown
County Memorial Post 2919. v. F. w.
During the lasts week papers of
the country have carried news of
the formation of an organization OF
rollege and university students
known as the Veterans of Future
Wars"
Their purpose is evident as they
propose that the government of the
United States pay their members a
bonus" for service to be rendered
during the next war. 1t is evident
that their only purpose is ridicult
of World War veterans who will be
paid adjusted pay or back pay for
services rendered during the World
War and not after the World War
was over.
Inasmuch as the initials of this
new organization are identical with
those of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, which has been in existence
Tor over So years and is recognized
by charter granted by Congress,
it is very apparent that the Vet
Grams of Future Wars is formed for
the sole purpose of capitalizing upon
the name and prominence of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars. Because
