A L SMITH died at a ripe age
"A but Wendell Willkie was
much too young by any stand
ards.
AL Smith died after a pro-
longed illness from which re-
covery was hardly excepted save
as a miracle.
Wendell Willkie was not a
very sick man until two or three
days before his sudden and
wholly unexpected death.
Who can anticipate, even in
these days of science. of sulfa
drugs and penicillin, what the
Great Reaper might do?
Yet, there are people In this
country who believe that its flu
ture and the prospects of the
entire human race are depend
ent upon three indispensable
men. Roosevelt, Churchill and
Stain.
Roosevelt is 81 years old;
Churchill, 20 and Stain, 65.
In the United States, Roose-
velt's successor, if anything
happened to him before Jan.
20, would be Henry Wallace;
should Roosevelt be reelected,
it would be Harry Truman.
In England. the successor
would probably be Anthony
Eden; in Russia-nobody knows.
The writers of our Constitu-
ton wisely recognized that
death may come TO the best and
most useful of men.
They provided for a successor.
In a word, the unnatural as
sumption that because a man Is
president, he might not die was
never held by the American peo-
pie.
THE recent photographs of
Il President Roosevelt are not
reassuring that he Is a well
man.
Those who listen to his
speeches on the radio cannot
help but note that the sparkle
has gone out of his voice. He
is obviously tired and irked.
He may have years ahead of
him but something is obviously
wrong and the American people
ought to be told about IL, COM
pletely and truthfully.
We might innocently be vot-
ing for Harry Truman for pres
ident.
This is a miserable and TN
Seemly subject TO discuss.
Yet, so much is involved of
national and personal impor-
lance that not to discuss in the
open what so many are saying
in private is foolhardy.
We are to make a decision
that must hold for four years.
Certainly. the thousands who
passed the biers of Al Smith and
Wendell Willkie must have Won
dered at indispenssbility.

purposes and plans.

BETTER HEALTH
By DR.. Logan Clendening

WE HAVE heard a good deal
w more since the war began
than We ever did before about
tropical diseases.
But there is at least one great
temperate climate d disease
chronic sinus infection of the
nose.
This Is literally a good
description.
II is almost unknown among
natives OF the tropics or of
arctic or subarctic regions.
Whatever the reasons IL is
Certainly here in full force.
There have been a good many
advances in the medical knowl-
edge OF the condition.
In general, more conserva-
tive methods of treatment are
now selected by the nose and
throat specialists.
Nasal ventilation and drain
age are in most cases now
secured without radical removal
OF the nasal septum.
Electro surgery Is used 10
shrink the swollen turbinates
of the nose.
Irradiation by the X-ray and
radium will remove lynphoid
tissue and polyps with the mini
mum Of inconvenience.
And the X-ray has proven
most useful in diagnosis when
the latest technique is used TO
show all the anatomical details
present.
Still. with all the improve
ments the chronic sinus sufferer
can still hardly look forward 10
any complete and magical relief.
TIVE difference between the
Il fellow who has an infective
sinus disease due 10 germs and
an allergy due 10 pollens or
dust or food can be diStin-
guished by the victim himself.
For the fairly rare individual
who has never picked up a
chronic sinus infection. a winter
cold, to one of which we are
each entitled, lasts about six
weeks and then he is probably
immune, perhaps for the rest
OF the winter, or perhaps until
spring.
The germ-sinus subject has
one that lasts a little longer, he
is a little more susceptible to
another. but he finally manages
to acquire a fairly long period
of immunity and freedom from
discomfort.
But the fellow with the al
lergic coryza is always shifting.
No sooner does he get rid OF

Somebody wrote that II could

way, he wrote, but 1t will work
in a pinch.
Still another, from M. B.
Shea, in the Maccabee Building:
Dear Jack - Per h aps I
shouldn't be so familiar because
you don't know me, but I know
you from your column, 30 hero
goes. I started reading you be-
fore you went In the army, but
I'm the darnedest putter-offer.
I think what first got mo WAS
. reference to Kitty and Kit
ten. Perhaps IL was because I
have Ave grandchildren.
From tonight's letter, Kit
ten has . little brother or SIS
ter. must have missed read
ing about that. Anyway, please
accept my congratulations.
When all II said and done, chill
dren are the only things In life
worth while. Isn't that so? /.
Yes. And yes. Kitten has a
brother. He's year and a half
old now, and Kitten Is nearly
six. We call her brother Kit.
Kitty, Kitten and Kit, so no
wonder it's confusing.
