Asthnatics Should
Study Their Makeup

TODAY, while the cause of some
= cases of asthma is unknown, a
cause for the majority of cases can
be found if diligent search be made.
Research workers are now agreed
that asthma is not a disease but a
group OF symptoms with not one but
a number of causes.
Drs. P. De Bersaques and A.
Berat, in Archives of Medicine-Sur-
gerry, Paris, stress the importance
Of the constitutional factor as an
underlying cause of asthma and
show that effective treatment can be
realized only when the complex
problem of the makeup or consti-
tuition of the asthmatic is clearly
understood.
A study of 40 cases showed that
there were three factors in the cause
of asthma all of equal importance:
% The respiratory (nose, throat,
lungs) factor, CD the instability
(easily upset. of the nerves con-
trolling the organs of the chest and
abdomen, and (3) the liver factor.
Having these three causes IN mind
they proceed to treat asthma from
the three different standpoints. For
the respiratory (breathing) they use
epinephrine (adrenalin) and ephe-
drine; for that part of the nervous
system controlling lungs, heart and
digestion, they use "quieting''
drug such as beladonna and pheno-
barbital; for the liver or hepatic
system they recommend diet meth
DDS and liver preparations.
In cases where the asthmatic is
allergic or sensitive to certain SUBJ
stances, tests for these substances
are made. Among the new methods
of treatment are the breathing ex-
ercises-blowing all air slowly from
the lungs-and the use of short-wave
treatments.
Remember, the patients general
makeup, distractions of nose and
sensitiveness of various substances.
can each and all be the cause of
aSthmatic attacks.

WILLKIE CLUBS

W1LLA1E CLUbS
It wasn't made public, but that
meeting of Willkie club chiefs in
New York recently named a COM
mittee of IA to draw up plan for
the future of the movement.
Actually no one could agree on a
definite policy. Some state leaders
reported that there was little hope
of keeping the clubs alive In their
particular bailiwicks. Others, par
ticularly in Pennsylvania, disclosed
that plan already was afoot to set
up a permanent organization of
county units to be financed by sus-
tanning membership, running all the
way from Is cents for rank-and-fle
members, to 500 for founders.
Members of the group are Robert
G.. Allen, ex-Democratic congress
man from Pennsylvania who bolted
to Willkie; Mrs. Henry Breckin-
ridge, N. Y; Henry A. Budd, To-
peka, Kan; Arthur Bunker, N. Y;
Mrs. Marie Jay Cady, Grand Rap
ids, Mich; Russell Davenport, Will
kie "discoverer" and campaign

Jr., Chicago; John w. Hanes, for
mer Roosevelt undersecretary of the
treasury; William H. Hartman, Phil
adelphia; Richard D. Logan, Tole-
do, Ohio; Oren Root, head of the
Willkie clubs; Howard M. Wall,
Portland, Ore; Cloud Wampler, Chi

troit.
INCOME TAX CONSCIENCES
With the arrival of open season for
income taxes the public conscience
begins to hurt. People send money
to the treasury, with no name at
tached, to square old debts.
From San Francisco came a let
ter containing S193 and the words,
"A mistake in 1885. Penalty and in
terest at per cent"
From Norwich, Conn.,, an anony-
nous taxpayer sent in SIS. From
Morris, H., a blind contribution of
So. From Phoenix, Ariz., 1.80-this
coming from a regular and frequent
contributor.
All such money goes to the treas
ury's conscience fund" Total re-
ceipts, since the time of President
Madison, $647, 563 SO.

H.D.S., New Y0rk-The horoscope
reading on John L. Lewis which was
sent to us was to the effect that,
there is a good deal of conflict and
discord In his life between January

there are some very sudden
changes, with the return of old con-
facts and associations, and very def
mite financial increase for this la
Dor leader"
P.B.H., Milwaukee - The words
used by IVA Director LilienthaI IN
warning Wisconsin against soil de-

of depletion of minerals in the soil
that has brought the South to its
present unhappy economic status is
at work steadily and inexorabIy In

SELF CONTRADICTION

The proponents of the Morgenthau
''lease-lend" bill are certainly talk
ing themselves into a position of
decentralization which it may take
their lifetime to explain. The ex-
PLANTATION required may not be
merely lack of logic-it may be of
why they helped to ruin their coun-
try by using their official positions
TO dignity statements that, from a
private citizen, wouldn't stand two
minutes REORGANIZATION before
Justice of the peace.
Secretary Morgenthau, who began
by trying, without consulting public
opinion at all, to divert our war sup
plies to France, where Hitler got
them, says that if we do not pass
that bill, Britain will have to stop
fighting. Secretary Stimson, also
urging this particular bill, says that
II must pass at once, because if
Britain stops fighting, we are subject
TO attack.
Mr.. Morgenthau's argument is
that they haven't any dollars left. "
That may or may not be so, and
probably isn't, but if the secretary
means that they have nothing which
they can pledge as collateral it GER
talnly Is not so-not by billions.
There is considerable apprehension
IN Canada that, if we begin giving
our manufactures away to Britain,
Canada will lose a lot of business.
The British have to pay Canadian
industry, also British industry, not
10 mention all the other nations of
the British Commonwealth and the
whole Of the rest of the world. Only
Uncle Sam is rushing out again to
give away his-weIl, let's call them
nnards-when even the association
OF British nations give not theirs.
o. x, failing a franker and more
credible statement of this finan-
cial problem, most of US are willing
to give England money outright to
buy our Just share of aid to her and
TO the precise extent-and not one
inch further-than it really contrib
Utes to American defense. We want
congress to control these appropri-
atoms for the efense of Britain Just
as 1t must control appropriations
for the defense Of America. The
''lease-lend" bill doesn't do that. It
authorizes the President alone to
make, buy and give Britain unIinit-
ed billions worth of our resources
without consulting congress.
If, therefore, as Secretary Nor
genthau has said, it is only a ques-
ton of dollars for Britain, no argu-
ment is left for the much wider
powers of the ''lease-lend" bill.
Other official opinions that
Great Britain can lick Germany on
the continent with our aid, that if
Great Britain doesn't, Germany will
lick Us eject, eject; aren't worth the
paper on which they are written or
the breath with which they are
spoken. Modern war is too unpre-
dictable. There is only one rule for
Us-a burning lesson of this terrible
age. Arm for impregnable Amer
lean defense. Rely on no other ma
tion-on nothing but the strength of
our own resources and the courage,
ingenuity, patriotism and devotion
OF our own people"
