Less Monthly Discomfort

Many women, who formerly
suffered from a weak, run
down condition as a result Of
poor assimilation of food, say
they benefited by taking CAR

women. They found 1t helped
to increase the appetite and
improve digestion, thereby
bringing them more strength

Naturally there is less dis

women, Is well worth trying. OF

NOT so MODERN; AFTER ALL

The other day in Montgomery, Alabama, thirtytwo
husky men and seven roaring trucks of unaccounted horse
power came with a dash to a downtown corner.
Firemen from headquarters and three other stations dash
ed here and there, but didnt find a flicker of flame. Finally,
Lieutenant I. A. Henderson asked a neatly dressed woman
standing near the fire "call box:'
IMAM, did you see anyone turn in an alarm?'

these fire trucks came? l thought that thing was a mail bon
Distress spread over her features. Anger subsidized among
the firemen.
AS the fire trucks numbered off, a policeman led the lady
away toward a mail box.
Which all goes to prove this old world isn't so modern.

AND THE VOTE WAS 1887

The vote stood Harrison 81 Barley 81. One more vote
to declare the winner of the closely contested Democratic
leadership of the Senate!
What a thrilling time it must have been for supporters
of both sides!
When that lone tally fell on the Senator from Kentucky's
side to balance the scales in his favor it is heartening to see
"Our Pat" make a move to declare the selection unanimous.
So few things are done unanimously nowadays, legislatively
speaking
1t was a magnanlmous gesture worthy of the chivalry
We usually associate with southern gentlemen.

RECOVERY
Recovery is usually slow and

Pain is best relieved by putting
the child in a brace OF plaster
cast to keep the muscles quiet
and still. After several months
rest, the muscles may be exer-
cised and reducted under the
Doctors supervision. The pre-
vention Of deformities in paralyz-
ed children is important, and
great care should be taken dur
ing the acute stage to see that
no active measures sluch as mas
sage, exercise, or electricity are
administered.
Distressing as infantile para
lysis is, perhaps its most tragic
aspect is the frequent resort to
non-medical methods for treat
ment. Little children become the
pitiful victims of their parents
ignorance. Certain defromity or
loss of life itself is their innocent
and unwilling sacrifice to i'm
proper treatment.
Paid testimonials appear in the
press calling attention to mira
culous cures" Investigation has
proved that some of these eases
never had the disease to begin
with and that other cases (the So
called abortive cases) were so
mild that they would have re-
covered if they had not been
treated at all. Those in an acute
stage of the disease who are
treated by non-medical measures
are often left too warped and
misshapen for further help.

We, the People
1887 Finds Political Liberalism on the March With
Old Authorities Shaken or Discredited

In Asia, Japan has at last recoiled
from the forward policy Of her mill
tarists. Army rule has aroused deep
misgivings at the imperial court and
better relations-rather than conquest
is the prize now being sought from
Russia and China.
The ledger Is not all credit entries.
Mussolini's conquest Of Abyssinia has
been confirmed by France and Eng
land. Once again European peace has
been purchased with other peoples
territory. Yet any one who thinks
that rule by Halle Selassie was better
than rule by Mussolini is crazy. The
League of Nations has been further
discredited as an agency Of peace. 1t
has also been discredited as an in
strument for freezing the status quo
and enforcing the treaty OF Versailles.
Now it is Germanys turn. Hitler
must decide whether to forego mill
tary conquest, colonies and the cru
SADIE against the reds now being
preached at Rome and Berlin. or to
abandon his Spanish adventure and
accept the credits and the raw ma
terials which England will make avail
able to Germany as soon as London
Is sure that the result of this gen.
erosity will be to reinforce peace.
Much remains to be done. The
age OF organized security by boys in
brown, black and red shirts, which
followed the destruction OF the World
War, cannot be ended overnight.
Everywhere, and especially here. peo-
pie are using slogans as a substitute
for abundance. Nineteen hundred and
thirty-seven will see beginning made
in the direction of freer world trade.
Disappointments are inevitable. So
cial radicalism will persist and there
will remain the old argument between
those who wish to kill radicalism by
killing its leaders and prosecuting its
followers and those who wish to kill
radicAlism by removing the causes for
radical discomfort.
But the world still moves and we
move with it. Nineteen hundred and
thirty-six opened with cries Of God
save the king, Hell Hitler!". "Ev-
viva il Duce" Stain is always right"
and "Hurrah for Roosevelt" Nineteen
hundred and thirty-seven opens with
another cry-not new, but never more
needed than today: God save the
people!"

BY JAY FRANKLIN.

TUTURE historians probably will
- select 1886 as the year.in which
the world established a liberal
trend against the reactionary
relationships and economic rationing
which grew out of the World War.
When 4 levee bursts or q civilization
collapses. you do not argue about lib
ertv or trade; you call out the troops
and set up the soup Kitchens. So 1t
was after 1918 Today it is changing.
The new year opens with liberalism
advancing for the first time since the
turn Of the century. Not only is
liberalism on the march. but old au-
thority has been seriously shaken and
in part discredited.
The two greatest conservative in
fiuences In the world-the British
crown and the Catholic Church-are
no exception. BY a peculiar paradox,
the crown-a great political institu-
tion-has been weakened in the realm
Of morals, while the church-a great
moral force-has been weakened in
the realm OF politics The Simpson
ulVUTCe hUu tHe uouiCdtioh Vi Co-
ward VII must be coupled with the
destruction Of the Spanish church and
the collapse OF Father Coughlin.
These are historical facts and the
world must decide whether to record
them in red or black ink in its future
book of accounts.
Political liberalism is gaining. Rus
sia. after 10 years OF reactionary die
tatorship by MARKHAM .ealots In the
name of the proletariat, has adopted
A new and freer constitution. freer
economic conditions. In France M.
Blum's Socialist government has ruled
for several months and is accumulat-
ing power and prestige. In Spain,
the Fascist revolt of the army has
been halted At the outskirts OF Madrid.
Gen. Franco will be lucky If he is not
shot by his own men before the end
OF 1887: his Moors and mercenaries
will be more than lucky If a man OF
tf,em sees Africa again.
In America, RooSevelt's electoral VIC
tory over the combined conservative
forces Of a continent has re-estab-
lished the tradition Of orderly change
by political action. which ia the es-
sence OF liberalism The good neigh
Dor" policy has merged with pam
Americanism and Il laying founda-
tions for peace good will and mutual

HARIS, January l.-Baron Con-
- stantin Won Neurath. German
foreign minister, having asked
the British and the French
Ambassadors to visit him yesterday.
gave them the first outline of the
German governments views about
the proposed ban upon volunteers in
the Spanish civil war.
Firstly, Neurath declared Germany
would never accept the setting up of
a Communist regime in Spain. and ne
reiterated the well-known thesis Of
the Communist threat to civiliZa-
ton. Secondly. he explained, a ban
on volunteers could only be agreed to
II made effective through an adequate
system of control. and he begged the
French and British governments to
make suggestions. while refraining
himself from expressing any ideas he
Thirdly. he added that, in an ulterior
phase. all foreign volunteers now serv-
ing in Spain ought to be recalled.
Both Ambassadors had the i'm
preston that the German govern
ment was merely playing for time
and that it could hardly be expected
that the policy hitherto followed by
Chancellor Hitler regarding Spain
could be materially altered. Since
the German note has not vet been
drafted and will not be delivered.
according to Neurath. until January
II, the German standpoint as defined
yesterday is likely to undergo several
alterations. 1t may be reasserted
that Italo-German solidarity in re-
lation to Spanish affairs has become
very close.
On the French and British side
the opinion gathers strength that.
should it prove impossible to reach
an understanding with Berlin and
Rome, the only course left open for
the British and French governments
would be to undertake a blockade of
the whole Spanish seabosrd through
their own naval forces.
