Bulwark of Liberties.

Bulwark of Liberties
The schools of our Nation are
doing more for their pupils than
those of any other country in the
world. What we have to ask our
selves as citizens and as parents is
whether we are giving the necessary
time to understanding the problems
of our school authorities and of our
school children who are the citizens
of tomorrow.
America came to her supremacy
as a democracy because she was the
cradle for the oppressed of many
nations who sought her shores and
instituted ideals which forever set
her apart from the tyranny Of old
world empires.
1t is important today that the
united people of the United States
of America shall look to it that their
schools, which are the great bulWark
Of their liberties, shall not be made
the vehicle of propaganda to change
our form of political and social or
ganization to some form Of ism"
inlmical to our democracy.

Does Man Possess
Right to Plan Own Life:
Was man created a little lower
than the angels, a being for whom
the abundance of life consists Of
justice, liberty and opportunity?
Does he possess the right from the
Creator to plan his own life, to dare
his own adventure. to earn his own

merge his life, his liberties, and his
independent personality in an om-

us for our follies and our greeds. the

Nobel prize and Pierre Curie was
given a professorship at the Uni

his widow was elected after his
death in 1906. After the World
War, however, Nine. Curie saw
her research nearing an end be-
cause she could not afford to buy
the rsdium necessary for her ex-
periments.
The cost was prohibitive-
100000 a gram. Had the Curies
patented their discovery, she
would have had ample funds, but
they preferred to work for Sci

benefits that were TO come from

PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
TAX TOKENS VICIOUS


Editor, The Times: Broadcast
ing from University's round
table recently. three men dis
cussed various forms of taxes.
Opinions varied TO some extent,
but all agreed tax tokens were
the most vicious because they hit
hardest those least able TO pay.
The little shekel is no stranger
to US in Washington. The per-
centage of its take" however,
is very much in doubt. We are
told il is a two per cent trans
action tax II this is true, what
about the token that "sweetens
the pot" with every purchase Of
chewing gum, candy bars, and
other five-cent transactions
Because Of this alone, believe
the tax TO be a three per cent
tax, and therein lies the factor
by which il may be termed as
vicious.
In other words. the good for
which they were intended has
been lost in the suspicion and
disappointment they have
brought TO many.

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Among the thousands of drugs,
serums, antitoxins, vaccines, Wit
amins and other preparations
used in the prevention and treat
ment of disease, there are some
which are so certain in their ae-
ton, so positive in their effects,
so valuable in their results. as to
deserve the name of Magic
Medical Bullets.
The term seems to have been
coined first at the time Paul
Ehrlich, distinguished German
Jewish Investigator, discovered
SOC" later called salvarsan and
arsphenamine. When he first
discovered this drug. 1t was
characterized by Latin phrase.
"therapia sterilisans magma
the great sterilizing treatment
because II was believed that the
injection of this drug into the
blood would cause all germs to
disappear from the blood and
perhaps also from the body.
II did not take long for scien-
fists to discover that such a
claim was unwarranted. But the
value of the treatment was un-
questioned, and today salvarsan
or arsphenamine is recognized to
be one of medicines most i'm
portant Magic Medical Bullets.
From time to time, / have
been asked to select 10 medical
preparations which might be
considered the outstanding dis
coveries in the treatment of dis
ease. The choice is an extreme
ly difficult one, because of the
vast number Of preparations
that are available. and because
one is limited to treatment
rather than to prevention. There
were great medical discoveries
both for prevention and treat
ment before Ehrlich's famous
announcement.
Perhaps. first on the list,
chronologicslly at least, would
be the treatment of malaria
with quinine; t2) use of digitalis
in the treatment of heart dis
ease: 80 ether and chloroform
as anesthetics; "a diphtheris
antitoxin; 80 insulin for dia-
betes; To- liver extract for per-
nicious anemia; 90 blood trans
fusion; (s) vitsmin d for rick
cts; (e) nicotine acid for pella-
gra; (10) sulfanilamide and sui
fapyridine.
