At the reception, Assistant At torney General Norman Littell, who made the Navy take back it's Elk Hills deal with Standard Oil of California, remarked:
 q understand, Sir William, that the Scandinavian countries really pioneered in social se- curity.'
 Not at all," replied the author of the Beveridge plan. What they did amounted to very little. New Zealand was the real pioneer"
 Have you been in the Scan- dinavian countries?" asked Litt- ell.
 "No, I haven't"
 "Well, I had understood that Social Security was. like the bill of rights t0 them."
 Not at all, not at all," re- piled Beveridge. England is much more advanced"
 "In that case" interposed Dr. Raphael Lempkin, cOnsultant of the Board of Economic Warfare, why did you propose your fa- nous Beveridge plan for Eng land?"
 What are you trying to do," choked Sir William, insult me?"

For the prediction that coffee rationing may end soon, and for the fact that sup plies have become about normal, our successful anti-submarine methods can be thanked. But also, credit must go to the shipbuilders. It is they who pro- duced ships to offset heavy sinkings and even to build up our merchant fleet. It is to be assumed that sugar will be the next luxury to return to normal supply. This will be a double boon - to us, who love our sweets, and to the Caribbean peo- ples who depend upon sugar money for their livings,

PUBLICS APATHY BLAMED BY WRITER FOR DISCORD IN
 COAL MINING INDUSTRY
East Providence, R. I.

July 20th, 1943. Editor of The Democrat:
 I read with interest the letter captioned Coal a Natural Resource Etc." by Walter A. Varney, in a recent issue. agree with him that it is not John s. Lewis or any other man that is to blame for the dis cord in the mining industry, it is the apathy of the general public in regard to our God given rights. Surely the land natural resources of the earth belong to all the people and not to privileged few.
 All wealth is produced by labor applied to land. Its distribution should be as follows: Wages is lab- or's share, interest is the share of capital, ground Cor site) rent be- longs to the government. By allow ing individuals to collect site rent and royalties, the earnings of both labors and capital are diminished, The general public has to up by taxation what the mine owner received by royalties. The obvious solution is to collect site rents for public reserve. It is probable that If the miner received about ten cents more tone on the coal mined it would be al lthey ask.

Selected Poem
ICONOCLAST
Lois Kingsley Pelton in the New York Times

Lois Kingsley Peon In the New York Times He Spurned times legacy and laughed aloud At such antiquities as right and wrong And faith and beauty, These were for the crowd Whose brains were Smple-he himself was strong His greatest pleasure was in tearing down The altars other men had built, Hemocked At everything, and like q crown, We wore his disbelief. At last, he locked Himself within an cgo-tower, then, One evening, suddenly, he looked about And knew he was the loneest Of men, There was no virtue anywhere to nout, No Image left to break but only earth, The stars he could not reach; or death, or birthl

JUST LIKE WILLIE's MOTHER

Recently I said here:
 T believe a good many elderly folk who never have indu,ged in alcoholic liquor or beverage at all or except occasionally should cui tivate the habit of taking a little wine or beer once or twice a da-, Not all, but many of them.
 There are many people wia. would be easier to live with when they get along in years, If the~ would have their daily pint of bit ters or glass of wine. But only peo. pie who are truly elderly, getting along in years.'
 I'm not sure what "bitters" would be-had a vague notion that was common term for some kind of bitter ale, not strong liquor.
 Now comes Mrs. s. R. A. asking in quavering voice or at any rate in tremulous handwriting:
 How is it real benefit, or if it
 isn't why bother with cultivat-
 ing habit we've all our lives
 shunned)? How are we to know if we are among the many or not?
 Who is to do the sorting of cases?
 Why not stand firmly for total
 abstinence for everybody all the
 time? I am working in the inter-
 est of Medical Temperance and
 your doctrines on this subject are
 not great help'
 In the first place, don't know what Mrs. A. means by Medical Temperance. In the next place I do stand firmly for total abstin- ence for everybody at any age and all the time.
 Mrs. A. is like Osler's mother. When Dr. Osler went home for & visit and found his mother, well, slipping bit, he advised her to take a little wine every day, and the old lady declined to accept her distinguished sons advice. "No, no, Willie," she said, I'm afraid I might get the habit"
 The elderly persons physician should do the Sorting of cases" If there is no physician, then the el- derly individual may decide for himself or herself whether he or she is getting along in years, past his or her prime. Or in a pinch any re- sponsible member of the family or any one who has to live with the peevish old party. In practice when the physician believes a limited amount of alcohol is indicated but finds the patient averse to taking wine or beer it is easy to prescribe something purporting to be medi- cine but actually being diluted al- cohol.
 Mrs. s. R. A. is not a physician. I take it, and has had no medical education. So she is hardly quail fled to criticize medical use of al- cohol or to criticize my teachings about it. Neither is any other lay man. Would this well meaning woman try to tell a physician how to use or protest because he uses morphine, cocaine, calcium or iodine.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Children Must Be Amused


 The treatment for high blood pres- consists of intravenous administra- tion of very gentle galvanic current, positive current through needle in vein of one arm, negative current through needle in vein of other arm.
 CT. B. W) Answer-Child-m minded folk de- light to be amused by such chican- cry.
 Dope
 Son, 6h years old, awakens near ly every morning sneezing and with profuse heavy mucus coming from nose. After an hour or so he seems all clear. I usually give him an as- pirin and use ephedrine spray.
 (Mrs. H. R) Answer-Perhaps the ephedrine spray is comparatively harmless, if it contains nothing but ephedrine, but your use of aspirin is unwar- ranted and censurable, only justih- cation for the use of aspirin in any circumstance is when pain or dis tress is unbearable without 1t. AS. pirin never cures anything. some times produces serious results. Has the little boy allergic sensitivity to feather dust Gin pillow) or some other emanation to which he is ex- posed where he sleeps? Has he had the benefit of medical investiga- tion?
 Pilonidal Cyst
 Have had pilonidal cyst lanced and drained twice, last time months ago, but now feel it coming back. Ben Told core must be re- moved by operation in order to do away with future trouble. (W. L.) Answer-Cyst is a closed sac. Sebaceous cyst, most frequently in the scalp, is closed sac containing sebaceous matter. Pilonidal cyst, most frequently in the skin over the lower end of spine, is sac contain ing a growth of hair. Mere lancing and draining" never cures cyst. All or most of the sac lining must be surgically removed. else the cyst forms again.
