Views Of The Press

South America indicates that there
will be a supply available from that
country.
When the war is over, conse-
quently, it will not be surprising If
synthetic rubber plants face ruin
Gus competition from natural rubber
growing countries. The inevitable
result Of this competition, If the ma
tural rubber costs considerably less
than the synthetic to produce, will
be the abandonment Of the syn
thetic plants in due time. And then
the United States will doubtless be
right back where it started from,
when war suddenly engulfed the
sources Of supply of natural rubber
in the Pacific. What this might
mean for the future no one can
possibly guess. 1t might mean that
we would be caught again, just as
we were caught in this war, with an
altogether inadequate supply of ma
tural rubber in the country, no
chance Of getting a normal supply
from the Pacific, and no synthetic
plants capable of taking over.

Shocking

An assistant United States attorney
general in Seattle is shocked by Judge
John c. Bowens decision that the power
OF civil courts, in an era not under mar
tal law, is superior to that of the War
Department Prosecutor Norman M
Littell says that decision is without par
allel in United States courts.
We hope Mr.. Littell is wrong. We were
nourished on the tradition that civil and
constitutional law is supreme in this
democracy 1t would shock us, at least
as much as Mr. Littell possibly can have
been shocked, to learn that we are living
under military dictatorship.

WHEAT FOR ALCOHOL
All along the eastern seahoard,
d!stil!ers are grinding wheat by
the millions Of bushels for indus
trial alcohol, at a time when
wheat for food is running tragi-
caLy short.
Largest plants are New Eng
land Alcohol, at Everett, Mass;
u. S. Industrial Alcohol, at Bal
timOrc and YOnkcrs, n. Y; Du-
POnt Company, at Deepwatcr,
n. j.; Publicker at Philadelphia.
They are consuming wheat at
the rate of 60 million bushels
u year.
These plants normally make
their alcohol from S'Jl, les,

laSses, by sea from Puerto Rico or
Cuba.
But today, that molasses is be-
ing used 10 make Puerto Rican
and Cuban gin for the thirsty
U. s, market while the alcohol
companies, denied molasses, haul
wheat all the way from ST. Paul
and Chicago.
Cubans are making gin as
never before. Quantity is high,
quality low. Current production
is running 100 times that Of last
year. Sailing vessels from the
Caribbean tramp fleets have
been pressed into service to de-
liver the stuff from Havana to
Miami.

so YOU FIND SOME GRAY
HAIRS?

Reports have come in from men
and women asserting that their
gray or grazing hair has regained
more or less of its original natural
color since they began taking
regular ration of iodine.
instruction for Taking an IOdin
Ration (my spelling of iodine) will
be mailed on request, if you provide
three cent-stamped envelope bear
ing your address.
Up to the past few years, I have
interpreted these testimonials as
the manifestation of the uplift
suitable nutritional ration of iodine
gives the spirits of the individual
who suffers from a shortage of o.
dine. 1t is like this: When you are
feeling stale, tired and bit gloomy
you are more likely to notice the
gray or grazing hairs 9hen you
study your map in the mirror. But
when you are in fine feetle if you
notice any gray hairs at all you
don't worry much about them, for
see all the signs of youth yau have.
The anti-gray hair vitamins mot
Just one of them) are componentS
Of the vitamin 3 complex. Among
| the vitamins various investigators
have believed important in this re-
spect are ra-aminobenzoic acid,
calcium pantothenate, biotin and
niacin-all OF these being compon-
ents of the group of vitamins that
! always grow in combination, called
the B complex.
More significant than the mere
arrest of grazing of the hair or re-
Storation of its original color is
the increase in Vite which people
taking the antigray hair vitamins
generally experience. This improv-
ed vitality, I think, is from an ar
rest of the involution process or,
within reasonable limitations, re-
versal of the process, regeneration,
rejuvenation.
Involution means retrograde evo-
luton, degeneration, more especial
~ premature decline or, as Webster
says, 'presenile decline, marked by
the menopause in women and by
decrease of vital force in both
sexes
This involution process, degener-
alton or decline doesn't take just o
month or tWo-nor does hair turn
gray over night. Neither can you
expect TO arrest the process or re-
verse 1t and experience regenera-
ton, rejuvenation in just a month
or two. We have no miracles to-
day. Certainly no medicine can
cure gray hair, the involution pro-
cess or prescribe decline. The an
ti-gray hair vitamins are food, not
medicine, and so are all other vita
Minis which are essential for opti-
NAL nutrition. So, If you adopt any
regimen or treatment" for prema-
ture grazing of the hair or presen-
lie decline you must follow 1t faith
fully for q year or more In order
to achieve rejuvenation.

1t Is well for US 10 remember all
this when we grow restless and dis

we need to sail. And the Owner Of

COMBATING DISEASE
Miss Florence Kerr, an intimate
friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, is optim-
istic about the progress made dur
ing the war period in the cure
of venereal disease.
She has personal responsibility
for funds under the Lanham Act
to set up Rapid Treatment Gen.
ters, and she has a long time per-
Sonal interest in the problem Of
delinquent girls.
When soldiers contract a ven-
ereal disease, they report to their
own officers and are qulzzed as
to the source Of the infection. In
the majority Of cases the woman
can be identified and found. She
is taken to a Rapid Treatment
Center for application Of the new
heat therapy process, which cures
some cases OF syphilis in five
days. Not all patients can be sub
jected to this treatment, however,
since the high fever which is in
duced is a severe strain on the
heart
Experts now hope - but 1t is
still only hope that the ex-
perience of this war may open the
way to the complete eradication Of
venereal disease from human So
ciety.
