work is increased during diges-

sure, breakdowns Of the heart and
blood vessels, and stroke are Of
ten the result of overeating and
are conditions which most often
shorten the life lines of people.
OveTeating is a habit and is Of
ten the result Of an emotional dis
turbanCe, say medical authorities.
Many persons come to rely on food
as means of lessening distress Of
seemingly hopeless calamity. And
children are sometimes overweight
because they initiate the food hab-
its Of their parents, or because
their parents force them to eat
more than their bodies require.
To lose excess weight, dieting
and exercise combined accomplish
the desired result, but the more
important of these is dieting. How
ever, the state board warns that a
doctor should always be consulted
before reducing program is be-
gun. According to health officials,
it is very important that health
and strength be maintained even
while weight is being lost.
THAT is why so many of the
novelty and fad diets are danger
Gus, says DR.. Edwin Cameron, ex-
ecutive secretary of the State
Board of Health. "They succeed in
taking off weight, but they ignore
the more important necessity of
keeping up bodily strength through
essential fOOdstuffs in the diet. A
foolish but heroic determination to
stick to a diet not prescribed by a
physician can do considerable
harm"
Not too much weight should be
lost in too short a time, since un-
desired weakness will result, SAYS
the state board. And health Off
cials warn that drugs, if any,
should be used ONLY on medical
advice and under close medical su-
pervtsion.

Facts in Perspective
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Like his distinguished father, Randolph s. Chur- chill may not always be right, but he knows how to make an affective defense of the policy of nation which has usually been constructive and far-minded in it's dealings.
 Young Mir Churchill, of the wartime Prime Minister had just concluded address to New York audience on the topic Can Europe Survive?" The hostile questions that followed of two sorts. One sort was illustrated by the inquiry Why Britain could not educate it's Fascistminded soldiers in Pales tine?" The other sort, Mir. Churchill himself sum- marized afollows, in a synthesis of many ques- tions:
 Why does Britain support feudal- Fascist, clerical Fascist and monarchstFascist regimes ill Europe and the Near East?"
 To such questions, coming from Zionist Jews on one hand and party liberals on the other there are no satisfactory answers because doctrnate tioner does not ask for information but to express hostility In that dilemma, MT. Churchill took the line which others of his family have found to be good that the best defense is vigorous attack
 So he noted the prevalence of restricted hotels he has seen in Florida and elsewhere and voiced his amazement at learning they were restricted to non- Jews-a form of intolerance not found in Britain. And then he asked why any American should accuse the British, dogmatcaly, of anti-Semitism.
 Although limiting immigration into Palestine, he pointed out, Britain has opened its doors to more displaced persons than any other country in the world And he compared this record with that of the United States, which has talked for year of admitting 900 displaced persons during four years but is not likely to take action "at least until after the election"
 Such blunt speaking from a foreign visitor may irritate a few Americans But on the whole young Churchils frankness should be Helpful. In the troubled world of today Anglo-Amercan partnership much too important be eopardized by the special pleading of Zionists feowtravelers or any other small minority group

ALASKA WILDLIFE

Members of the Outdoor Writers Association who visited Alaska last year left with fond memories of Alaskan hospitality and better knowledge of the Territory and its problems in attempting to conserve its fish and wildlife with inadequate Federal appro- priatons.
 That this hospitality not wasted is evidenced by the support OWAA members are giving Alaska in requesting adequate appropriations for fish and wdfe conservation and enforcement of regulations
 Latest evidence is the resolution passed by the League of Ohio Sportsmen which reads as follows:
 "Whereas, Alaskas wldlife resources are now facing an emergency more serious than any time in history of the Territory and
 Whereas the money heretofore appropriated by Congress to administer wilde conservation and pro- lection under the Alaskan Game Law, has been woe fully inadequate and that equipment is run down with no replacement available the game law enforcement is seriously handicapped and wilde is being killed wantony and wastefuly due to lack of personnel and

 For many months junior Repub- licans on the committee have been grumbling at high-handed Harold's way of running it. Particularly, they have resented Knutson de- cisions to investigate farm coopera- tives, which even the committees second ranking Republican, Dan Reed, of New York's dairy dis lrict, labeled as inspired in Wall Street"
 The Republican rebels are now doubly irked over a footnote bur- jed in the official report on the income reduction bill Although the Republicans read over what they thought was the final draft of the report, they now find tuck ed into the report footnote which -eads:

WHISKEY CHAMPION

House banking chairman Jesse Wolcott, who let the whiskey mak- CTS back in the nations grain bin. stood up for his distiller friends to the very end the other day, even against enate strong-arm man Bob Taft.
 But the rotund, little Michigan Republican stood alone. Meeting behind closed doors other mem- bers of the Joint Economic Com mittee voted unanimously with Taft to restore grain controls on the liquor industry. It was the second at .empt to extend the allo- eaton powers since Wolcott let them die in his House Committee last month
 Wolcott, who once was describ- ed by a Hiram Walker represen- tative as man they could con- trol, argued stubbornly that the liquor industry is just as essential as any other.
 These controls" he parked, would simply pave the way for other controls"
 That is not at all true" shot back Taft. These controls would just slow down operations for the time being, so we can give more l,yaaJ fO b,,,,o,y t,anple n
 He pointed out that the industry has enough liquor stored in it's warehouses to last six years.

 T would welcome this as wet and-dry fight" spultered Wolcott. ''The Republican party for a good many years has been considered as the dry party, and I would like to see it as the wet party.
