Your Health
 By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.
By WILLIAM BRADY. MD.

I have said or suggested many many times that only detectives drink. A defective is not necessarily a degenerate-a defective is a per- son who fails to reach the peak of growth or development-such as a saphomoron.
 The clearest explosition of this was given by an addict who was hastening his degeneration wit the booze route. At times" he said, in explaining how he got that way, T drank to eXcees because I felt the need of a stimulant or rather I just wanted to feel better" That was at least an honest attempt to answer the question Why do you drink?"-too many detectives try to parry the question by asking why they shouldn't take "a glass of wine or beer"-somehow it is al- ways just wine or beer, even though we all know they never take such mild stuff if liquor is available. | Certainly a defective feels the need of stimulant or wants to feel better. That's human nature-any- body wants to feel equal to his or her friends or associates. The defec- tive isintelligent enough to be con- Scious of his or her inferiority in one way or another, and the poor goof forgets his or her deficiencies under the effect of the narcotic, alcohol, and so, for a short time he or she feels better"-that is, feels as good as anybody.
 A stimulant (which of course alcohol is NOT) is anything that produces temporary increase of vital activity in the body or in any o fits parts. Coffee, for instance. The defectives vital activity of course is deficient in one or more respects, and so the dimwit goes for liquor.
 Lest sophomoron readers confront me with my own recommendation of daily glass or two of wine or beer for elderly folk it may be well to mention that I recommend the narcotic, alsohol, in just sufficient dose to make them pleasant to live with Frankly, I haven't started taking a daily glass of beer or wine mysel because I have not felt the need of stimulant nor do want to feel better. I feel just fine and dandy, thanks to SomerSaultS, cal cium, vitamin D, vitamin B com plex, iolin, a well cared for masti- eating equipment and a fine bow ling green. But you readers should do as I say and not as I do about this. I wish you could all have the vite have-and most of you could If you would only do as I say in the booklet "The Seven Keys to Vite"-for copy send twenty five cents and stamped self addressed envelope, asking for it in writing and not with clipping please-and so have as little use as I have fo1 alcohol in any form.
 Not only morons made the best of parents, friends, soldiers, workers business people, servants, employers I-characters who command every body's respect and affection - but sophomorons too. Every word have uttered here is inspired by the earnest desire t give every child ol child-minded person who may read it a wholesome suggestion.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS The World Is Flat

accept as fact everything you teach, except about drafts. Every time I get in a draft where body temperature is not the same on all sides begin sneezing believe I must have the germ at all times and it becomes active when condi- tions are favorable c. s. O.
 Answer - Extraordinarily virulent germ, it must be to have such inn mediate effect. More likely you are subject to chronic sinusitis or other chronic touble in upper respiratory tract, with which germs have little or nothing to do. Polyp may be your trouble. Why not have a nose and threat examination and find out?
 Bed Wetting

M) Answer-Write e again, inclose stamped self addressed envelope, ask for pamphlet on Bed-Wetting. A great many boys and girls of your age and older still wet the bed. The trouble required treatment in a con- siderable number of youths before they were ready for training in the Army and Navy.

 This diversity of interests behind the Republican ticket probably explains the talking from both sides of his mouth by the party's alert candidate for the Senate, 40-year-old Harry P. Cain Twice the non- partisan mayor of Tacoma, he is war veteran who had widely varied experience with the American military government in Europe that gave him a rather far-sighted view of world problems. He is much better campaigner than Senator Mitchell and is of those wiry treless fellows who refuse to give up. He ran strong race two years ago in abSentia.
 Harry Cain formerly a Democrat. He sup ported President Roosevelt through least two cam pa1gns and did not officially become Republican until he consented, by cable from London to run as candidate for the Republican Senatorial nomination two years ago after much importuning
 He represents himself a liberal Republican. The strategy of his campaign managers is to make him attractive to both elements in the Republican Party. Recently Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon a member of the Progressive Republican wing in the Senate, gave him his blessing in a speech for the benefit of the Western part of the state which is the Democratic stronghold. Senator Taft, (R- Ohio) is to speak for MT Cain East of the mountains where conservative Repubicanism is predominant
 Just Republicans have their endorsements from the extreme right, so Democrats have theirs from their extreme left. This is Symbolized in the brilliant Hugh Delacy, former Washington University professor who is running for reelection to the House from this city. He is accused of being Communist, or at least fellow traveller. He is of four Dem ocfatic Congressmen from the state Republicans now have two members in the House from Washington.
 Senator Mitchell, in his campaign, has found him. self constantly the defensive because of such issues as OPA and continued government restrictions
 In the showdown the result in the Senatorial will depend upon Democartic success in getting out it's labor vote.

His Republican opponent is Fred Norman formerly member Of the House If enough anti-Communst fever is whipped up in Seattle MT. Deacy also might go down before the rather cogorles figure who is opposing him-Homer R. Jones This is admittedly close race.

increase of 26 per cent over the 249 fatalities of 1945. Although the re- bort doesn't say so, the prophecy is probably also based on the assump- tion that human beings will con- tinue to be as crassly and self1shly negligent in their driving as they have been in the past.
 Some highway fatalities are largely beyond the power of the au- tomobile driver to prevent But the vast majority are preventable if drivers will gauge their speed in the light of prevailing conditions. As the Commission points out, even five miles an hour is too fast under certain conditions. Tn fact two ped- estrians were killed last year by vehicles that were travelling at that low speed. Generally speaking most fatalities are caused by automo- piles travelling faster than twent- six miles an hour.
 The coming three months are the more dangerous of the whole year. As darkness comes earlier, at time when the heaviest flow of traffic is moving in and out of the city, visi- bll1ty is limited. Add to this the hazard of wet leaves on the pave ment and the whole thing spells tragedy unless automobile drivers regulate their speed to conform with visibility and the braking power of their cars.
 In enforcing the laws against reckless driving the police depart mentS Tn Hartford and elsewhere are entitled to the full backing of the courts. A court that submits to the pressure of friendship, political or otherwise, is indirectly contribut- ing to continued murder by motor vehicles.

A PLEASING OUTLOOK
(Boston Post)

One of the biggest surprises at the National Business Show in New York last week was the unusually large number of professional men and veterans planning to enter business, who went not merely to look, but to buy equipment. The demand for office equipment and machinery was far greater than had been anticipated. This, coupled with the fact that manufacturers are away behind in orders, although production in many items is run ming two to two and one-half times more than in the pre-war years is indicative that business generally sees rosy few years ahead. There is no telling now how long it will take to satisfy all demands, surely a bright light on the horizon of the future.

MURDER BY MOTOR
(Hartford Courantl

It is the gloomy but documented prediction of the State Highway Safety Commission that, when the year ends, 314 persons will have met their death on the highways of Connecticut. In addition to this gory total 10,898 more persons will be injured in varying degrees, some slightly, others so seriously that they will be crippled for the re- mainder of their lives. This predic- tion is based on the assumption that the present rate of traffic will be maintained and represents an

in a cell block, returned the fire.
Another guard has been killed
since yesterday. and it was be-
lieved that most of the "a con-
|victs are either dead or wounded.
The $50 convicts had been
guarded by marines. and when
they were ordered to go TO the
cell block, they howled defiantly,
loudly cheered the cornered con-
sicts and roundly cursed the ma
rines. One of the $50 is said TO
be the infamous "Machine-gun"

DISCOVERING"
UNCLE

One day back in 1884, an artist, driving leisurely along
country road in the deep South, heard the sound of banjo
music floating toward him through the trees. He left his
cr and followed the sad-sweet strains until he found a
clearing in the forest where, on a little cabin porch, sat
an old darky, a red-headed boy of twelve, and a dog-in
the middle of a music lesson, All unseen, the artist set up
his easel and soon, upon the canvas, appeared the boy, all
thumbs. his face screwed up in earnest effort, manfully
struggling with the stringed instrument; the dog looking
on in painful apprehension; the old man patiently urging:
les hol it natchel, Sonny-thataWay natchel.'
This beautiful painting by Hy Hintermeister was fea-
turcd on the 1885 Uncle Matched calendar. and introduced
to a million people the familiar figure of Uncle Natchel',
the kindly old man who has appeared ever since as the
symbol of Natural Chilean Nitrate of Soda.
Uncle Matched is really a rare and lovable character.
Grown old in the employ of Sonnys family, he is known
to everyone for miles around for his inexhaustible supply
of stories about the wonders of Nature and his belief that
the best way to do anything ! is the Matched way. And that,
of course, is how he got his name.

From Bottom to Top

So the Braves, moved from 9th
to 7th place, then to 9th. They
moved from 9th into the first divi-
sion, then headed for the top. They
made the top-and they didn't need
eight or ten pitchers to carry them
along. They needed only three
Rudolph. Tyler and James.
The light hitting overlooked
Braves only murdered the Athlet-
les in four straight games. They
outplayed and outgamed and out
pitched and outhit one of Connie
Mack's greatest teams. Hank Cow
dy hit over 500 in that series. But
the main answer again was Ru-
dolph, Tyler and James, who had
been seasoned under fire for over
three months, who had been worked
often enough to know their trade.
Any pitcher who can't start and
finish over 20 games. who can't
work in over 300 innings-or $50 inn
ings--isn't much of a pitcher. What
baseball needs today is combina-
ton of Rudolph, Tyler and James,
who can handle three months
schedule practically unaided. Mod
ern pitchers need far more work
than they are getting. No set OF
arms can be that fragile, that
futile. that weak.
If Chapman only had another Ru.
dolph, Tyler and James he would

race. II wouldn't even be contest
