THE American does not vote
l. as a class, group. major
ity, a minority, a party or a
gang. The American votes as
an individual. One man casts
one vote. He is alone when he
does il.
The American who votes be-
cause a group told him to vote
that way is traitor 10 the
American concept of represen-
tative government.
The American who votes for a
candidate because he is likely
to win is FORGETTING his heritage
of freedom.
Nothing but belief and con-
science should measure a mans
decision in an American cleo
ton.

But what be was really re-

lection in a campaign of the
theory that one American is
better than another on election

On that holy day of the
American republic, Mr.. Roose-

THE name virus" In medi-

walton. 1t was in 1895 that
Stanley announced that he
thought the disease called to-
bacco mosaic was due TO a
virus.
The common human diseases
considered to be due 10 viruses
are smallpox chickenpox.
measles, mumps, shingles. ence-
phalitis, the common cold, and
infantile paralysis.
Psychologists labored for
years with all their culture
methods, microscopes and other
instruments TO trap the germs
OF these diseases, but none were
ever found. The cause In each
case was too small and elusive.
So, also, we have no serums
for these virus diseases. Also
the sulfa drugs and penicillin,
those wonder workers In other
bacterial diseases, do not seem
10 do any good.
Nor. except. in the case OF
smallpox. do any OF our ordi-
nary methods of prevention
work against them.
And in smallpox we do not
follow the procedure Of OBJ
tanning antitoxin as we do in
other cases where serums, vac
cines and antitoxins are avail
able; We cannot culture the
germ and kill il 10 make a vac
cine, or inject il into an animal
to create an antitoxin because
there is no germ 10 be found.
In the case of smallpox we
must rely on the material pro-
iuced by the growth OF the
virus on living tissue-it used
to be the cow, now II is the
chick embryo.
Nor do the ordinary public
health measures of filtering
water, dairy and food inspec-
ton, sewage disposal, etc, avail
against the spread Of the
viruses.
Our helplessness has been re-
Gently demonstrated again in

fantile paralysis. which ran its

health control.

She is on the war path, seeth-

originally based on the Bureau of

the cost Of living had risen only 26
per cent between 1941 and 1914.
