happening again this year, the
1888 depression is a world
beaten.
On November 8 the resi-
dents of at least 16 states will
vote yes or no on old age pen
sions to be supported by ev-
erything from slot machines
to dog races. For each of
these plans there's a black
and white solution that looks good
on paper but leaves the economists
a little skeptical. You can prove
any of them will or won't work.
No enlightened American denies
that the pension idea is economical
ly sound provided it can be financed.
Under a modern social order it is
logical that youth should work and
age should rest. But wiZened OBJ
servers are hoping this years crop
of Utopian ideas will die out, that
instead next winters congress will
arrange a sensible substitute.
TOiUnsendism Again
But Townsendism is the most IA
vored substitute, and how sensible
is Townsendism? At least 100 con-
gressmen are behind the modified
version of this plan which calls for
monthly $50 payments to old peo-
pie, financed by a gross 2 per cent
transaction tax. This bill is spon-
sored by Wisconsin's Rep. Gerald
Boileau. Business, already taxed to
the hilt, complains that per cent
levy would remove what little profit
now remains from commercial
transactions.
But the pensioners must be sat-
isfed, or stamped out. Thus far
they've showed from office such
prominent men as CALIFORNIA; Sen.
William Gibbs McAdoo, defeated in
the primary by Sheridan Downey,
who rode the crest of a new pension
wave. Downeyism advocates the
scrip plan, despite the failure of
scrip in Alberta a couple of years
ago. Thirty dollars in scrip would
be issued each Thursday to every
Californian over go years old. To
pay for it, two cent state stamp,
bought with real money, would be
pasted each Thursday on the back
of each 81 piece of scrip in circu-
lation. At the end of a year the
scrip would carry $1.04 in stamps
and would be redeemed for $1.00 in
cash.
Downeyism has spread to other
states, notably Ohio, where the chief
arguments center around payday.
Shall it be Wednesday or Thursday?
Ohio's rival petitioners have thus
far failed to provide financial ma
chinery. AS in California, the bat
tie cry is for ''ham and eggs"
A group of Nebraskans hope ham
and eggs will come from slot ma
chimes, for on November 8 that
state will vote on an amendment
relating to public assistance, well
fare and social security; to provide
revenue for the state assistance
fund from the proceeds of an an
nual tax to be levied on owners
and operators of coin-operated de-
vices" Mysteriously sponsored and
cleverly phrased, the Nebraska Pc
tition was probably signed by many
people who didn't realize that the
tax would be on slot machines in
stead of plain vending machines.
The resultant complaint has
changed the amendment to read
machines of chance"
Oregon to the Rescue

morializing congress to call ma
tional convention for constitution
al amendment establishing the Boz
leau bill. The other calls for 2
per cent transaction tax to give old
people 500 month. North Dakota

Cold Weather Really Tonic

Times have changed. Scientific
knowledge has increased. The
genius of man has asserted itself
in mechanical advancement. The
expressions, "cold-weather diet"
and "warm-weather diet" have
lost their former meaning.
Almost without exception, the
protective foods are availab
throughout the year, no matter
where we live.
1t is therefore possible to pro-
tect the health by balanced diet
all the year round, and to benefit
by the tonic effect of cold weather.
For, contrary to popular belief,
cold weather is beneficial, and not
harmful, to healthy people.
Cold speeds up all the activities
of the body. The circulation is i'm
proved, muscle tone is increased,
and digestion, absorption and
elimination are stimulated. Even
prolonged cold is thus tonic to
health, provided we do not weaken
our bodies by an unbalanced diet.
1t is partly because so many
people continue to eat improperly,
in spite of our newer knowledge
of nutrition, that we still find an
increasing amount of sickness in
the fall, which mounts steadily
until it reaches it's peak in the
months of January, February and
March.
Dangers Of an improper Diet
Yet winter need have no terrors
for the fit. Only the weak, the
unfit, surrender and become its
victims. That the number of VIC
TINS is large each winter merely
indicates how many people neg
lect their health through careless
living, and especially through
careless eating.
Measures to protect ones self
against the attack of winter
should be taken during the sum-
mer and early fall. A sturdy re-
sistance against the ills of winter
should be built up by means of
balanced diet which assures an
abundant supply of the minerals
and vitamins.
When a person is undernour-
ished or improperly nourished, he
is denied of every defense. He is
chilled by the slightest drop in
temperature. He offers fertile soil
for every kind of disease germs.
He can neither resist their inva-
sion, nor fight them off after they
have attacked.
: Thus, the first rule for keeping
warm and well in winter is to live
and eat in a manner that helps to
maintain health and strength. The
correct winter diet differs in one
important respect-and one only
from the correct diet at other sea-
sons.

days in draughty, inadequate
ly heated houses. And the lack
of adequate heat was only one
of many difficulties. The prin-
cipal reason for fearing cold
weather is another heritage
from the past.

SAFETY ASSURED BY NEW
 PUMP LOCATION


 a sewer pipe which had been fo md broken on the 4lh, and which. it. was feared, might con- tlminnte Kennecott'S wate: supply. The pipe is located within a few feet of National CT. ek, and comes out of the a nex built ing just above what was the temporary source of Kennecott's water supply.
 To be sure of safety, on April 8 a pump was put in well above the camp, to provide Kennecott with water in place of tue for, mer location.
 On March 27 Pat McCann was over by the sewer pipe which runs out of the annex and found it was all right. Later in the same day some ice was knock, d from the roof of the annex build. ;n5, and it is t! Olght that this might have been the cause of the broken sewer pipe found on the 4th
 Pumping of water from this lower section of National creek was only temporary, and had been used to take the place of the main pipe line from higher up National creek, which froze up in February.
 This position has now been moved well above the camp and this will also be abandoned when the main line is running full blast once more. As soon as possibility of contamination was discovered, spring water was carried to the bunkhouseS and messes.
 ltls explained that the pump had to be put in the lower posi- tion at first because all of the pipes above were frozen.
 On April 6 the school found out about the danger of contam. ination through general report, and verified the rumors by ask ing first-hand sources. Warn ings were put up by school fau- cets. They were taken down
