protectorate of Alden.
The British - still apparently
depending upon the impersonal
malignancy of the desert to cut
down many of the invaders as
always it has done-were active
mainly with their aviation.
One successful British ground
action-a counter attack which
pushed the Italians out of Korin-
dill, on the border of Kenya colo
ny and Ethiopia-was reported,
however. British headquarters at
Nairobi, Kenya colony, announced
they had taken over the village
on the shadowy frontier after
slight opposition" and without
suffering casualties.

NATIONAL LOTTERIES

With an enormous increase in taxation
inevitable, it is not surprising that the sug-
gestion has again been made to establish a
national lottery, with rake-off for the
benefit of the Federal Treasury.
To most persons this proposal will
probably seem immoral today, yet in the
early years of our national existence pub
lie lotteries We're very common. Prior to
1920 no less than 70 lotteries were au-
thorized by Congress.
The Continental Congress in 1776 con-
Quoted a lottery to raise money for the
Revolutionary Army; President Washing
ton approved a lottery for building part
of the national capital; Harvard, Yale,
Dartmouth. Williams and Columbia uni
versities were supported in part by lotteries
in early days and innumerable lotteries
were openly and legally conducted for vari-
GUS other charitable and educational en-
terprises.
Most European governments have at
one time or another employed national lot
teries as a means of raising funds for their
public treasures Cuba has conducted a
national lottery since the foundation of the
republic.
The foregoing facts are cited, not as an
argument for national lottery at the pres
ent time. but merely to show that what
would now be considered an immoral pro-
ceeding was in earlier times looked upon as
an entirely legitimate means of raising pub
lie funds

County offices may be efficiently Of
ficered and managed-and,- by and large.
this cOurty has an excellent staff of officers
in ell offces-but, The Citizen has long
recognized that the active staff performing
its daily task of protecting us against crime
the sheriff's Office-is due particular
credit for job well done covering the two
terms now about to be concluded.
Coming on the job eight years ago
office records in this department were
pretty much in a mess. 1t was a terrific
task to straighten out the books the while
becoming acquainted with all the duties
and ramificatiOns of the office itself. Be-
fore long. order came out of chaos, as the
records prove, and things were running
smoothly.
And so they have continued to run
throughout the last eight years-with
corresponding high record for achievement
and prevention of lawlessness in the county.
The public generally recognizes these facts
and has long felt that the sheriff's depart
lent. with its active personnel, has per-
formed in efficient style.
AS the time comes for these officers to
withdraw in favor of a new set of officers
-one elected and the othC-s appointed,
there sl:nds an admirable record t. shoot
at. as me saving goes. Records are In per-
feet order and nothing is rending at this
WI ting. tha would tend to create Confusion
for the new officers.
The Citizen congratulates the sheriff's
derartment of the present. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that its officers must retire. Mon
roe County could use them in other capa-
cities. Who knows. maybe they may find
place in which to continue their efficient
service in behalf of the citizenry of the

diet prescribed may include a
juicy steak of mineralized beef
and a large glass of raw mineral
lied milk.
Records kept by the Institution
show that remarkable results
have been attained. These spe-
cial diets have aided all types of
patients. restoring them TO per-
feet health and speeding their re-
covery.
During the past few years the
subject of ''mineraliZed foods"
has been given more and more
attention. Efforts have been made
to provide fertilizers for citrus
trees that contain minerals es-
pccially needed by the tree and
that would insure its sturdy
growth and cause it to bear finer
fruit Results in this direction
have been very effective
Now through the research of
the Florida Medical Center our
fruits, vegetables, beef, and dairy
products are being mineralized so
that an experienced dietician
after knowing a patients require
mentS can prescribe a diet that
will give. the body just the ele-
ments it most needs to maintain
regain a healthy condition.
Perhaps the day will come
when the bulk of Florida grown
products will be mineralized and
the health-seeker will turn from
the druggist to the grocer or
butcher for their medicines
which can be labeled Made by
Mother Nature" to prescription
and produced in her Florida lab
oratory in mineraliZed soils.

EXCESS OF MALES DECREASES

Population figures reveal that the ex-
cess of males ever females in this country
is declining and liz about five years we
will have female majority.
Ii; 1910, Census figures recorded an
excess of 2.6o2, ,2SS males. This wont down
t, 2,O9O,2A2 in 1920 and to 1.Ae1,114 in
1850.
1t is pointed out that male births aver
age about 1O5 to 100 female births and
that the females have an advantage of
about three years in averge length of life.
The number of nj les to die each year
is about 787 ,881 or 155,559 more than
female deaths. This lead is reduced by the
excess of male births, about 56,770 per
annum.
We attempt no deductions from the
figures which carry certain implications in
themselves.

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

The advantages Florida offers
these in search of health has
long been recognized. Doctors
great and small have prescribed
a dose of Florida" for their pa
tients for many years.
Chambers Of Commerce have
done their bit to remind the
world that Florida with her
mild balmy climate, her clean
fresh air, health giving waters
and abundant fruits and vegeta-
bles, offered a haven for those
in poor health and a land of
bright promise for those who
would stay in the prime of con-
dition.
A few years ago a great inter
nationally known surgeon estab-
liShed the Florida Medical Center
at Venice and since then thous-
ands of patients from all over
the world journeyed here to re-
gain the most precious of all pos
! sessiOns-good health.
Not long ago, on my way to Mi
ami, l stopped for a visit with
secretary Blalock of the Venice
Chamber of Commerce and he ac-
quainted me with some amazing
facts concerning experiments in
diet that have been conducted
for several years which hold po-
tentialitieS for further publiciz-
ing of this state from a health
standpoint.
For a considerable time DR..
Fred H. Albee, head of the Flori-
da Medical Center, has been
keenly Interested in the subject
of Mineralized Foods and their
relation to health, the restoration
of health. and the prevention and
cure of disease.
1t was the Doctors belief that
through scientific fertilization
minerals and vitamins could be
inducted into fruits and vegeta-
bles in varying quantities and
controlled so that fruits and We
getableS so grown and treated
could be depended upon to pro-
vide a patient with a given
amount of such needed foods and
chemicals
He also believed that through
scientific feeding, mineralized
beef and mineralized milk and
dairy products could be likewise
produced. He set his chemists to
work on the problem and for sew
eral years the fruits, vegetables.

Just as the druggist. in filling

AS Business Project

In answer to hints aimed
at Lester S. Ready, consult

that Ready was biased in his

to supply the district with extra
power, Chairman Evan T. Hewes
of the district Friday released a
brief history of the engineers car
eer.
Il know of no engineer who is
more unprejudiced in his surveys
than Ready" HeWes said. "a study
of such issues as the Nev-Cal offer
is purely a business proposition to
him He is retained by both
private and public utilities and
only recently reported in favor Of
distribution by private companies
rather than public agencies IN con-
nection with the Central Valley
project"
The report to which ev-Cal
Electric, in letter from President
A. B. West to R. P Moore, vice
president, took exception was rec
commencing refusal of a Nev-Cal
proposal to supply extra power to
the district until the All American
canal plants are in operation and

Ready has been a consulting en-
gineer for the district for five
years. He was graduated from the
University of California in 1912 and
was gas and electric engineer for
the Railroad Commission for five
years thereafter.
Since 1927 he has been consulting
engineer for wide variety of utili-
ties. municipalities, the state OF
California and the federal govern
ment, Hewes pointed out. Ready
has served the Bureau of Power and
Light in Los Angeles for 13 years
and been consulting engineer on
