 NEVER MIND YOUR DIGESTION
 In the uninhibited days of a;- manac nostums when the nostrum vendor could and did say whatever he pleased, regardless of how widely he departed from the truth, the gullible public swallowed everything the quacks offered-and often gave strong testimonials of cure which were published just before, some times just after the funeral of the suckers who gave the testimony.
 Today, with the so-called restric- tionS which federal and state au- thorities place upon lying on the label, lying in the literature" or lying over the air, the nostrum ven- dors have to get the old hokum over in devious ways. Thus, the nostrum no longer cures this or that nor restores nor prevents nor stops nor even increases resistance. To make that claim would be lying. So now the nostrum "helps' correct, restore, relieve, stop or prevent, and the way the spieler tells how it works makes the lie just as effec- tive, for the gullible public, as it would be if he omitted the word helps" altogether. But the ruth less federal and state authorities in- sist that he must say helps" so he says helps" scores of times every day. The Sweet-voiced Spiele con- vinces you it is all right to overeat or carouse when you wish if only you keep his nostrum on hand and take a dose or two to restore you to normal or rather to help restore you. That is of course vicious prop aganda, the more so because it is sanctioned by the federal and state authoitieS and for that reason is accepted as proper and honest by good many credulous people.
 It is not only vicious, it is dan- gerous and sometimes fatal when these laW-abiding liars and fakers contrive to persuade you that it is safe to take a dose of a coaltar de- rivative whenever you have a sick headache or when you are tired out or worried or in need of rest or sleep. For it is downright lie to suggest that a heart-depresSing, blood-destroying coaltar .derivative can or does cure any such condi- tion. It merely benumbs conscious ness of the discomfort.
 What this country needs more than it needs a good five-cent cigar is course in elementary phys::so; ogy in the public schools. If people generally had a fair fundamental knowledge of how the body works I am sure they would not be so easily persuaded to take dangerous or unnecessary medicine.
 For instance fair knowledge of physiology, particularly the psysi- ology of digestion, victim of the physic habit the courage and con- fidence it takes to break the habit.

Pity the Poor Wave

There is something pathetic in the funny story of the New Hampshire girl who spent two months stretching in or der to add half an inch to her height so that she could become a WAVE, and at the last minute found the restriction re- faxed so that she could have made the grade without stretching. But the pa- thetic and the humorous seem to us to be much less important than that gal named Berdette Liljehult wanted to get into the Navy so badly that she would spend two months trying exercises in hope of adding 13 millimeters to her five feet

There Is the draft, with its far
reaching effect on the schools as
well as the family; the manpower
and teacher shortage; demands for
youth labor; the request for volun-
teer assistance; the youth delin-
quency problem; and the necessity
for careful postwar planning now.
All OF these make additional de-
mands upon our educational think
ing"
Governor Baldwin, in message of
greeting, writes: I'VE are winning
this war not only by the force of
our armies and our nanpower, but
also because of the success Of our
public educational system. Just as
such success In winning the war en-
anates from the public educational
system, so only will well educated,
informed people maintain just
and permanent peace after the ter
mination of the war"
