The government, being in the
printing and publishing bust
ness, too, has just surveyed its
bookshelf to determine its best
seller" What the count revealed
brought expressions of surprise
to the faces of some government
brain busters"
Instead of finding that the
reading public is clamoring for
a new education from theoriSt
authors on planned economy
and such, they found a simply
written little book about Amer
lean industries leading the field.
The expressions of panied sur
prise were caused by the fact
that the book praises rather
than condemns the American
business man.
We quote one paragraph from
the book:
alexander the Great, so it
has been recorded, wept when
he found there were no more
worlds to conquer. But modern
man knows no such limitations.
The attitude today is that there
is no limit to the worlds which
remain to be conquered. So, a
salute to our men of science, to
our inventors and to our indus
trialists, for under their leader
ship, the dreams of today will
continue to become the realities
of tomorrow"
Entitled "Stories of American
Industries" the 10-cent book is
selling at the rate of 1000 cop
les a day at the Government
Printing Office in Washington.
That is a best seller in the eyes
of any publisher or author.

KELLOGG WINS
NAME APPEAL

1.N.SD.-The Kellogg Com
pany of Battle Creek, Mich, today
won an appeal to the Supreme
Court to set aside a lower court in
junction prohibiting it from using
Shredded Wheat" as a trade
name, or advertising a pillow
shaped biscuit similar to that man
ufactured by the National Biscuit
Company. Justices McReynolds
and Butler diSSented.
The high court opinion was de-
livered by Justice Brandeis, who
traced in detail the development
of shredded wheat and the en-
trance of the Kellogg company
into the field by manufacturing
"Kellogg's Shredded Whole Wheat
Biscuits" in competition with the
biscuit company's product.
The court found, at the outset,
that the National Biscuit Com
pany, which acquired the famous
shredded wheat plant at Niagara
Falls, N. Y, conceded that it did
not possess exclusive right to make
shredded wheat. The biscuit com
pany, however, claimed exclusive
right to make a pillow-shaped bis
cult.
The plaintiff National Bis
cult Company has no exclusive
right to the use Of the term
shredded wheat as a trade
name" the courts decision said.
For that is a generic term
of article, which describes it
with a fair degree of accuracy:
and is the term by which the
biscuit in pilloW-shape form is
generally known to the public.
Since the term is generic, the
original maker of the product
acquired no exclusive right to
use it. AS Kellogg company had
the right to make the article, it
had, also, the right to use the
term by which the public knows

MACHINE ,cURES;coLDS

What is described as quick and eff
fectiVe treatment for common colds and
sinus infections is provided by short wave
machine recently perfected, according to
an Associated Press dispatch from Boston.
The machine creates an electro-1aag-
netic field in which the patient is placed,
but he does not come into actual contact
with any current, so there is no unpleasant
sensation. The rays created are concen-
trated on infected areas, and the peculiar
heat thus generated destroys the infec-
ti0n
Treatment was given to 900 patients
at the dispensary of the Medical Center in
Boston before physicians made report of
the results, and it is said that assesses,
scarbuncles and certain types of joint dis
eases, as well as colds and sinusitis, re-
sponded to the action of the rays.
Machines of somewhat similar type
have been used before, but their effective
ness was limited until the method-of con-
centrating and focusing the rays was per-
feeted by DR.. E. Schliephake of Germany.
AT present only four of the latest machines
are in use in the United States, three of
which are owned by private physicians
The high standing of the scientists
and physicians associated with the develop
ment and use of the machine indicates that
most valuable new apparatus for the
treatment of disease has been given to the
world.
