NOTICE

Dear President:
From time to time, we have been
urging you to get Duplicate policies
for your members whenever they are
needed and yet, we have quite a few
presidents who will wait until their
members are dead to find out as to
whether they have an H. B. A. pol
icy. am taking this medium to
Kindly ask the presidents to make :
survey of all of their members and
lind out as to whether they have
their policies and if the wills are
made like they want them. If the
person is dead, that the policy is
willed to, you can readily see that
this will bring about a conflict. J.
there is no will, you can see that this
will bring about a conflict, but if the
will on the policy is made out prop
erly, it will save all concerned un-
due trouble. Presidents. please take
this survey at your earliest conven-

rice rOOC.
The widespread use of estrogen
and other female sex hormones
in the treatment Of dysmenorrhea
and the menopause has caused
scientists to search for more
available sources of these COM
pounds, originally extracted at
great cost from the urine of preg-
nant animals. Although chemists
have produced less expensive syn
thetic compounds these were
found to be less potent than the
natural hormones, and pharma-
biologists have looked to flowers
and fruits for a source of the
same or physiologically related
substances. Traces of the hor-
mones were found in wheat, oats,
yeast, cherries, date pollen, pussy
willow - even garlic - but until
this week no one had guessed that
tucked away in the age-old medi-
cine. licorice, were estrogenic SUBJ
stances.
Licorice, like ephedrine, was
known and used in ancient China.
In the oldest of the Chinese books
OF medicine, "Shen Nung Pen
Ts'ao King" licorice was referred
70 as . magical herb that gave
new life to the bodies Of the old.
Brahma recommended licorics a.

stalline acid, glycyrrhizin, that is
fifty times sweeter than sugar to
quench thirst was early recog-
nized. Alexander the Great and
the Caesars supplied licorice to
their armies to sustain them on
long marches. American Indians
brewed a beer in which licorice
was an important ingredient.
Through the annals of nineteenth
century medicine there are con-
slant references to licorice as a
bland and soothing remedy for
colds, coughs, sore throats, laryn-
gifts, and bronchitis. 1t was
also employed as a mild laxative,
but It's chief use in modern medi-
cine until the present time has
been to add a pleasant fiavoring
to less palatable drugs.
Oddly enough the present dis
covery of the estrogenic quail
ties of licorice stems from its use
as favoring agent in an old pro-
prietary mixture. Several years
ago Mr.. Costello, the chief chemist
for the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Company. and DR. Lynn, .
professor at the Massachusetts
College Of Pharmacy. started .

researchers to specifically identi-
fly the hormone as steroid
that is probably estriol. (Estriol
is the only one of the three
commonly used forms of estrogen
that can be taken orally)
The discovery has importance
because it may be the forerunner
of a method of inexpensive mass
production of estriol from either
currently available licorice root
or from specially cultivated
plants.
Although three other ingre-
dents of the compound. namely
asclepias, helonias, and aletris,
were also found to contain es-
trogenic hormones, they have not
as yet been specifically identified.
Said famed gynecologist DR..
Joseph Fl. Phillips Of the an

Communist Resolution
Against Israel Defeated
At Progressive Party Farley

CHICAGO, (JTA) ..... A Com
munist attempt to bring about
adoption of a resolution against
the present Israel Government
by the national convention of
the Progressive Party failed here
this week when the non-Com-
munist delegates blocked it in
the resolutions committee. The
convention is being attended by
l, 100 delegates from IS states.
Instead of the resolution on
Israel suggested by the left-wing
delegates, the resolutions COM
mittee adopted a statement de-
claring that "the hopes of the
true friends of Israel that the
Government would form DEM
ocratic republic have been reali-
zed." The statement emphasizes
that Israel stands as an example
of true democracy in a Middle
East which is still dominated by
treaty imperialism and feudal
rule"
| The defeated left-wing resolu-
ton suggested that the Progress
sive Party, headed by Henry A.
Wallace, note that "the true
friends of Israel hoped that the
new Government would form a
democratic republic to- serve as
an example of true democracy in
a Middle East still dominated by
treaty-imperialism and feudal
rule" Delegates on the conven-
ton floor recognized the differ
ences between both resolutions
and the pro-Israel group forced
a showdown which led to un-
qualified praise of the present
regime in Israel.
