Vatican Newspaper
Criticizes Nazis

VATICAN CITY, Dec. IL. up
The official newspaper Osservatore
Romano charged today that German
authorities in Poland had exiled or
Jailed hundreds of clergymen in
Poland closed Catholic churches,
schools and seminaries and started
suppressing the Catholic press.
The newspaper said that it was
false TO depict favorable conditions
for Catholics in German occupied
Poland as was done in a new PAM
phlet published in italy.
An appeal to Catholics throughout
the world to pray for Polish Cathol-
les was made by the newspaper.

WEST CONSUMES
LESS LIQUOR

Total consumption of distilled
spirits in the first five months OF
1910 was 55,569,742 gallons, an in
crease of 5,O55,895 over the same
period in 1899.
New York led with 6,327 082 gal
Ions. Then followed, in the order
named, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Cali
fornia, Ohio, Michigan, Massachu-
sets and New Jersey. The smallest
consumer was wyoming, with 1885,
100.
The total consumption of wine in
1899 was 76871,91l gallons, an in
crease of nearly ten million gal
Ions over the preceding year. CAL
ifornia, the chief native wine-pro-
ducing state, led all the rest in
drinking it, the figure being 1887
228 gallons, or just about one-fourth
the entire national consumption.
In 1889 the United States drank
81 ,634,659 barrels of beer, an in
crease of 1,412,O47 barrels over the
preceding year.
TRACING DEATHS
TO DRINKING
Figures usually introduced TO
prove what strong drink does to
people are those giving deaths from
alcoholism, cirrhosis OF the liver
and from suicide.
Census authorities, however, warn
that figures may be tricky.
For instance, the causes Of sui
eide may be other than too much
drink. Thus suicides increased in
peak years of the depression. Cirr-
hosts of the liver is sometimes caus-
ed by hard drinking, but there are
many other causes.
Deaths from alcoholism can be
attributed only to liquor, but here
census authorities warn that the
figures are far from accurate. In
the first place, out of consideration
for the family, many doctors do
not like to certify alcoholism as
cause of death. Secondly, large
number of deaths involving alcohol
ism are charged statistically to
other associated causes when only
the primary cause of death is tab
ulated.
Deaths from alcoholism since re-
peal have not reached the high at
tained during the dry period. The
prohibition amendment went into
effect Jan. %, 1919, and was re-
pealed by another amendment Dec.
S, 1888.
Census figures show that in 1919,
when the great experiment began,
deaths from alcoholism per 100000
population were l.6. They sank to
10 the next year and then began
steady rise until they reached
40 in 1927 and 1923.
Strangely enough, deaths from
alcoholism began to drop in the
depression years as follows 1929,
81; 1880, 3.5; 1881, 3.3. The last
figure reported by the census is for
the year 1888. 1t is 20 deaths per
100000 population.
FEWER SUICIDES
SINCE REPEAL
Greatest death period from all
causes is between IS and IA. The
greatest from alcoholism is between
45 and 81.
Contrary to expectations, New
York state, with gay Broadway,
does not rank tops in deaths from
alcoholism. 1t is only ninth, with
4.3 per 100000.
Nevada leads the procession with
1.9, and Vermont is lowest, with
IL.
When prohibition went into ef-
feet in 1919 deaths from suicide
were only 1912 per 100000 people.
They kept steadily rising until in
1928, the year before the depres-

THE OTHER MANS GAME

IN WARFARE, in the boxing
ring, or any other kind of contest,
it is an accepted rule OF winning
tactics to refuse to play the ether
mans game" If Gene Tunney had
tried to slug with Dempsey in
stead of out-boNing him. he would
have been committing this great
est mistake a pugilist can make.
1t would have been no worse, how
ever, than the pitifu! efforts of
some players to outguess a
shrewd psychic bidder The best
way to deal with such fellows, I'M
less you are a deep student Of
psychics yourself, is to try to tell
your partner the exact truth
about your hand, as closely as
possible, in order to show up tbs
psycher.

Surrounding Infections

Infection of the nose and throat
has long been held to be associated
with chronic progressive deafness.
Such infections would not occur if
the soil were not properly pre-
pared. A deficiency of Vitamins
A and D appears quite definitely
to lower resistance to infection.
Patients with this condition ap-
pear to be in good constitutional
health, but valuable information
can be CLEANED if inquiry is made
into their dietary history, which
indicates that all is not as we'll as
would appear on the surface Not
only Vitamins A and D are found
to be lacking, but Vitamin B,
which has such an influence on the
nerve -loers. Gray considered the
auditory nerve involvement as pri-
mary in these cases and the bony
changes as secondary.
In actual practice patients with
high tone loss were found to re-
spond favorably to feeding of con-
centrated Vitamins A, B, G and D.
The concentrated 3 complex made
from California rice-bran was
used in these studies. In early
cases with beginning Joss the vita
min concentrates did much to re-
store most of the hearing.

o The cOmmOnest form of deaf
ness which occurs in middle age
is due to hardening and fixation
of the joint surfaces between the
little bones in the middle ear.
These bones in health form a read
lily movable hinge attached on the
one side to the ear drum and on
the other side of the middle ear to
the window of the organ of hear
ing. When the ear drum vibrates
in response to sounds, these bones
transmit the finest variation Of
the vibration to the organ of hear
ing where the nerve endings of the
auditory nerve pick them up and
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1940-09-20

transform them into sound sensa-
tons. Obviouslyif these bones be-
come fixed so that free play of
movement is not allowed the hear
ing will get progressively worse.
New Improvement
This form of deafness is not
we'll understood and has hitherto
baffled attempts at complete cure.
But of late more improvement in
handling these cases is evident.
Last year we reported on the op-
GRAFTON devised by a New York
biologist which consists of remov-
ing the adhesions and bony fixa-
ton of the middle ear bones. With
in the year l have been privileged
to examine a number of patients
who had the operation of making
an artificial Eustachian tube-an
opening into the middle ear which
admits air pressure and allows the
bones to move freely. These opera
tons have been quite successful.
1t has been suggested that nu-
tritional deficiency may contrib
ute to the condition. This idea has
been advanced by Dr.. Grant Self
ridge, of San Francisco. And it re-
quires only a little thoug.,t to see
that the idea is not far-tctched.

Causes and New Cures
For Deafness

We consider arthritis to be due to
infection, nutritional and consti-
tutIonal factors. The changes in
the bones of the middle ear are not
so very different from the changes
of arthritis a roughening and
fixation of the joint surfaces, a
change in the consistency of the
temp bone.

BARCLAY ON BRIDGE

The Authority on Authorities

see his opponents get into a peck
of trouble. East could not be CEN
sured especially for his pass, even
with that siN-card suit, when he
had three clubs and was so de-
void Of useful honors.
South's pass was the blow. OBJ
viously. ne should have bid Ida
mond, in order TO protect a posi-
bic sizeable pass by his partner.
But he reckoned his hand was
barely about average in strength
and feared stirring up East and
West into finding major suit fit,
probably in spades.
The play was a joke. North ran
all of his clubs and his two high
hearts. then led a diamond to
South, who took the rest of the
tricks. For the laydown grand
slam. made defensively, the side
got only $50 points. whereas over
1000 were in the cards. If North
ha6 doubled, the small slam at
least would have been reached.

Insomnia Nav Be an Idea

If insomnia troubles you, it may
be an imprisoned idea, trying to
break through the dark folds and
crevices of your brain, according to
DR.. Elliot D. Hutchinson, assistant
professor of psychology at the Uni
versity of Rochester. Hutchinson
states that more than 80 per cent
of artists, writer's, musicians, scien.
lists and other creative persons in
terviewed have moments of Gin
sight" when troublesome problems
suddenly clear up. Such creative
insight, he believes, is the result of
hard thinking, long effort without ap-
parent results, period of emotional
irritability and high tension, fol-
lowed by a period when you may
forget the problem entirely.
