Talk Of Disastrous 78-Doy Diet
Again Is Heard, Doctor Declares
By james w. Borton, M. D.

gans-stomach. liver, intestines
kidneys and others. With loss
of this fat the abdominal organs
fell down to the lower part OF
the abdomen, even into the pelvis
1t can be seen how difficult it
would be for these organs and
their processes to do their work
lying in a mass in the pelvis in
stead of being up in their proper
positions in the abdomen.
Further, with insufficient food,
the blood itself, the red corpuscles,
would not be rich or strong enough
to carry nourishment to all parts
of the body and the white cor
puscles would be too weak to fight
off disease organizations, which
invade or are already present in
the body.
When the 18-day diet was
spreading its dangerous propa-
ganda, DR.. Harry Everett Barnard
Director of White House Confer
ence on Child Health and Protec-
tion stated. THE 18-Day Diet has
done more harm to the country
than a war; putting the body on a
stringent diet for >18 days in as
ill-advised as running an. auto
mobile engine without oil for an
indefinite period. There is neither
oil, butter or starch in the 18-day
diet" It has increased tubercu-
losis among young women. It has
deprived mothers of strength to
look after their children. In
many cases the heart may never
regain its reserve power.
AS murmurings regarding the
18-day diet are again current, I
think it wise to revise these state
ments by DR.. Barnard.

some child who had never had
any real companionship, nothing
but the enforced society of a
grown-up.
For there can be no real COM
radeship between child and a
parent. Too many years lie be-
tween, too many experiences. The
point of view is too different. The
things that entertain and amuse
one bore the other. You never
see a child giggling at nothing
and whispering and having deep,
dark, absorbing secrets with
mother or father as it does with
another child.
Justifies Self
Mother justifies herself in
monopolizing her children by say
ing she is trying to keep them
from evil influences. She is afraid
her own carefully brought up
youngsters will be corrupted by
the bad manners and the bad
grammar of the children across
the street.
She forgets that whether she
likes it or not these same young
sters are bound to be her chill
dren's companions in life. They've
got to learn how to adjust them
selves to them, how to resist what
is evil in them and make the
best of what is good. And this
can be learned at 4, but it can
not be learned at 40.
Moreover, children can teach
each other some of the impor-
tant lessons of life that their
parents can never teach them.
They teach each other how to be
good sports, how to play fair, how
not to boast and not to think too
highly of themselves. Mother
fosters egotism and self-conceit in
her child. 1t takes other chill
dren' to knock it out of him.
And so for these and many
other reasons parents should see
to it that their children associate
with other children. Even a bad
child is better chum for them
than the best of mothers.

7' Are parents fit companions for
ttheir children? Sometimes. Not
J always. But they are never fit
: to be the sole companions of their
children. OF course, there are
parents of loose morals and low
ideals whose companionship is the
most corrupting thing on earth to
a child because every child un-
consciously takes its father and
mother as pattern, and because
the things we learn in infancy
shape our characters for life. No
boy makes the finer man for hav-
ing associated in his formative
! years with a father who was a
drunkard or a libertine or a man
lacking in all sense of honor and
: honesty. Nor is any girl likelier
/. to walk the straight and narrow
? path If her ideals of virtue were
taken from a mother who
=swapped husbands as often as she
changed the style of her hair.
d. On the other hand, there are
2 parents who are everything that
: is fine and noble and broad and
tolerant and whose companion
ship would be bound to have an
uplifting influence on their chill
dren.
Want to MonopoIize
But, no matter what the pa
rents are, they are not fit to be
the sole companions of their chill
dren. Yet the obsessing desire of
:, nine mothers out of ten is to mo-
nopolize their children's society
and keep them from having any
!, other associates. Proud is the
> woman who can boast that she
is her children'S most intimate
friend and that they go every
where and do everything together.
Not long ago I asked an 18-
= year-old lad who were his chums
and before he could answer his
mother replied: 'He hasn't any
friends. I am his chum. am
his best girl" And then I knew
why the boys and girls called this
boy a sissy and why he was awk-
ward and i'll at ease and never
fitted in when he was thrown with
other young people. and I pitied
with all my heart the poor, lone

Fortunately, according to plant
pathologist at the University of

diseases at a minimum. The most i'm
portant step is to plant only disease
free corms. Corms should be sorted to
remove all diseased specimens. Those

3 hours in Lysol solution made by
adding one pint Of Lysol to 25 gallons
of water. Smaller amounts, made in

Hints on Tomatoes
Lettuce and Cabbage
Production Given

Frequent cultivation and a side
dressing with a high nitrogen fertil-
izer will improve the early lettuce
and cabbage crop in the home garden
and under field conditions The first
cultivation should be fairly deep and
at a to 3 inch distance from the
plant. Later civilizations should be
more shallow.
The Importance OF proper cult
walton methods has been stressed by
Edward K. Bender, vegetable special
list at the University of Maryland, be-
cause lettuce and cabbage have eX-
tensive root systems which are sensi-
tive to soil conditions. The deep cult
walton permits aid and moisture to
enter the soil; later civilizations are
primarily for weed control.
Ammonium sulfate or nitrate of
soda applied as sidedressing ahead
of the cultivation will give the plants
an additional boost.
One hundred and fifty pounds per
acre of ammonium sulfate is recon-
mended for a heavy soil while 200
pounds of nitrate of soda is suggested
for sandy soils.
Tomatoes
Mr. Bender recommends the above
cultivating suggestions to tomato
growers and adds the following
recommendation for fertilization:
Sidedress on a silt soil with 500
800 lbs. of APPS six weeks after
transplanting. Place in bands if pos
sible.
On sandy loans low in organic
matter sidedress with 500 lbs. of
5-1O-1O at time of last cultivation.
On Sandy loans with a good supply
of organic matter sidedress three
weeks after transplanting with 500
lbs of APPS and again at last cult
walton with 500 lbs. of Apps.

Taft Asks Happy Medium

Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
last night advocated "happy me-

push socialism and the "anti-me- :

measures. - -
The Republican leader spoke at
a Lincoln Day banquet attended
by some 800 persons. s
The me-too-ers fail to diStin-
gliSh between measures which will
make. real progress and measures
which inevitably mean retrogres-
sion," Senator Taft said.
The Trumanites, he asserted, be-
lieve in socialism and want to
dominate the entire political ma
chinery of the United States.
THE anti-me-too-ers, on the
other hand, are afraid of being
called liberals" he continued.
They oppose every measure of
public welfare because they fear
an infringement of personal
liberty"

|KnowIand Accuses
State Department
In China Disaster
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Feb. 14.-Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia accused the State Depart
ment last night of contributing
greatly to the Chinese disaster"
and urged adoption of a six-point
plan for a foreign policy in the
Far East.
Senator Knowland said so years
of friendly interest in a free and
independent China by our Gov
ernment and the contribution of
our servicemen in World War II
gave the United States a postwar
opportunity to export American
ideals of freedom to China.
But that opportunity, he said,
was "frittered away by a small
group Of willful men in the
State Department"
Senator Knowland told the Re-
publican Middlesex Club at its
Lincoln Day dinner:
''The State Department having
contributed greatly to the Chinese
disaster, still proclaims that we
must follow a hands Off policy.
or that we must wait for the dust
to settle or we must investigate
some more"

DR.. Pruden Denies
Pearson S Story Of
Church Race Ban

A story broadcast by Drew
Pearson Sunday that the First
Baptist Church here refused use
OF the church for an interracial
dinner was denied today by DR..
Edward Hughes Pruden, pastor.
DR.. Pruden, in a statement, de-
clared the commentator remark
that the church was torn with
debate" over allowing interracial
dinners in the building was not
correct. Mr.. Pearson said the
Interchurch Fellowship of Wash
ington. an interracial group, had
been refused use of the church.
The minister pointed out that
the fellowship held a meeting in
the church last year, and had
been invited to return. He said
the question never had been
raised at any meeting, nor had it
been discussed by the general
membership. DR.. Pruden noted
that colored minister had
preached from the pulpit, that
several interracial dinners had
been held and that members of
all races had attended the regu-
lar Sunday services.
Mr.. Pearson said he based his
comments on information that a
member had refused a request by
the Interchurch Fellowship to
hold dinner, saying some mem
bers were opposed to the inter-
racial aspect. DR.. Pruden subse-
quently said that If any person
did refuse such a request, 1t was
done on his own initiative and
without authority. ~ss@ 7-
! The Interchurch Fellowship
also denied the story. It praised
DR.. Pruden for. his efforts on
behalf of interracial accord In

Rehearing on NLRB Ruling
Against ITU Requested

A petition for a rehearing on
three disputed parts of a recent
National Labor Relations Board
ruling against the International
Typographical Union was filed to-
day.
The AFL and the CIO Joined
the union in its petition to the
board. The ITU, representing
workers who set type for printing,
is affiliated with the AFL.
The board in it's disputed deci-
sion found the ITU had violated
the Taft-Hartley law in its deal
ings with newspaper publishers
and commercial printing estab-
lishmentS.
The petition disputes those
parts Of the decision which held
that the ITU was a bargaining
agent representing workers as
well as union locals; that the
TITUS bargaining practices were
intended to force employers to
discriminate against non-union
workers, and directed the ITU
and its locals to post notices in
union halls that 1t had been di-
rected not to violate the labor
laws.
The TTU said it was not disput-
ing other portions of the NLRB
decision at this time. although it
might do SO in the courts later.
