WRONG PSYCHOLOGY
In POLITICAL THINKING

Editor. The Times: It is
fact, although few people notice
II, that dogs bark when emo
tionally disturbed by anger or
fear. Many office seekers do
likewise for the same reason.
And by the natural law of reac-
ton, what they fear will over
take them.
Mr.. Hoover, once on the sunny
side of the corner" could yet
be basking in the political
warmth of former days only for
taking fright at the new deal"
Mr.. Lsndon barked at the new
deal" every time he made a
speech. and he, too, except for
what little noise he can make
now and then, is one Of the poll
tically forgotten.
Politicians, however, are not
the only ones thus afflicted. We
have them in every walk of
life. They are negative creators,
bringing into physical nantes
tation conditions and things not
wanted.
AS for presidential ssplrants;
II those birds had the under
standing they are supposed TO
possess. they would ignore the
new deal IL not in sympathy
with it. and go ahead with a pro-
gram OF their own. To focus at
tention on conditions and things
dreaded or desired adds power to
them.

into oblivion, too, from fright Of

berg does in the COP camp.
Each hopes that he will be aeao-
locked into the nomination.
1t is possible now to discern
the strategy Of the Democrats
"big three" - Messrs. Garner,
Farley and Hull. For various
reasons they do not believe that
President Roosevelt should run
for a third term. Secondly, they
believe that they face a difficult
fight unless they can nominate
a strong man and reconcile all
differences within the party. Inc
three of them prefer an mdivid-
ual of rather conservative make
up, recognizing that the voters
have been swinging In that
direction.
without any persoLal or po-
litical rancor, leading Democrats
have raised serious objections to
the Garner, the Hull and the
Farley candidates.. The V. z.
is held to be too old, and too
disliked by several powerful
blocs of voters. Farley's religion
may operate against him. Hull's
age, his colorless personality and
his reciprocal trade agreements
are advanced against him. Under
such circumstances the party
managers believe that the west
ern Progressive would be their
best bet. with the postmaster
general for second place. Burt
would hold the West, according
to this scheming, while Jim
would be expected to carry New
England and New York. Any
way, the Wheeler-Farley is the
most talked-of ticket at the
moment.
Senator Robert A. Taft has
set up the most elaborate pre-
convention, political menage of
all the 1910 presidential candi-
dates. His layout and his opera
tons convince his rivals that
important people and important
money are backing the son of
the former president.

Adverse aspects are active to-

suit. Foreign news of signifi-
canoe to the business world may
be expected. Commerce Is threat
ened by many foes.
Heart and Home: Under this
sway there may be an inclina-
ton toward fickleness. Stabil-
ity should be nurtured in young
persons. Girls should be direct
ed toward self-supporting ca
reers and discouraged against
INDUCING in romance at an early
age. The seers warn that women
of the future are to sustain
heavy responsibilities, owing to
world upheavals. Homecoming
plans should be considered by
the thrifty.
National Issues: Graft and
corruption will be fought with q
determination that augurs sue
cess. Reform in the methods Of
conducting public business will
be demanded by voters. In
creased taxation will cause wide
spread effort to change indiffer
ent attitudes Of office-holders
toward their work.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year OF
progress. Profits through specu-
lation or through inventions are
prognosticated for certain men.
Children born on this day
probably will be intelligent and
highly talented. These subjects
of Capricorn are usually ambi-
tious and successful all through
life.

OBJECTS TO AID
SENT TO FINLAND

Editor, The Times: Regarding
the Finnish relief funds, our
former brilliant president, Mr..
Hoover, in starting the Finnish
relief fund, might, if he be so
generous, start a movement in
our own country and help our
destitute families; or doesn't
that make any difference?
There might not be any returns
for him if he tried helping his
own countrymen.
Every day there is an article
in the paper regarding the relief
problem in Ohio. 1t being the
Christmas season, how much joy
and happiness that 100000
would bring that is being
shipped overseas, where Hoover
has mania for sending things.
From past reports of Mr..
Hoover's financial standing I
think him quite capable of being
able to do lots of good right here
at home. Is this one of his
clever political moves?
While it is very thoughtful
when we try to help foreign ma
lions, what about our millions

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Strange as it may seem, there
are still people who oppose pas
teurization of milk because they
think the process destroys some
of the vital food factors con-
tanned in raw milk. If it were
not for pasteurization, it would
not be possible to provide people
in our large cities with safe
milk supply.
Recently, an authority in the
field of nutrition reviewed the
question of pasteurization as re-
lated to nutrition. Both raw milk
and pasteurized milk were fed
to calves to determine whether
there was any difference in the
rate of growth, physical condi-
ton, body measurements, or re-
sulting composition of the blood.
II was found that raw milk
and pasteurized milk were about
equal in nutritional qualities;
and that, if there was any diff
ference, it was so slight that 1t
could not be observed. How
ever, it was found that there was
considerable risk of spreading
tuberculosis among calves fed
with commercial raw milk, but
not among those using pasteur-
lied milk.
1t is now believed that use of
tuberculin test in cattle and
pasteurization of milk have been
fundamental in lowering the tu-
berculosis rate among cattle.
Since bone and joint tubercu-
losis in human beings is associ-
ated largely with infection of
the tubercle germ of the cattle
type, another argument for pas
teurized milk is apparent.
II there is any real change in
the milk resulting from pasteur-
ization. it is slight reduction in
the vitamin b complex. In this
country, we would not even
think of experimenting on chill
dren with raw milk; but in some
foreign countries, tests have
been made on several thousand
school children. After a long
period of time II was found that
there was no significant differ
ence in growth, nutrition or any
other factor associated with the
use Of raw milk.
Experiments indicate that APP
proximately 20 per cent Of Wits
min B, vitsmin c and iodine
may be lost by pasteurization of
milk. No other nutritive consti-
tuent seems TO be affected.
Since the advantages Of pas
teurization are so overwhelming,
IL is about time that the raw
milk adherents cease their biek-
ering and stand aside for the de-
velopment Of pasteurizatiOn tech
niques which might result in
lowered costs
