DETROIT Kresge Bldg. a (Official City, State and County Newspaper) a n - Proceed, Mr. Gillis! We have seen, here and there and elsewhere, “elemn articles criticizing the breezy ex-sailor ‘ghom Newburyport, Mass., has made its ‘aayor. ; This ex-sailor, “Bossy” Gillis, as you doubt- 28s have read, became a candidate for mayor n order to “get even” with the old city admin- - stration, which had refused to give him a per- ait for a gasoline filling station and had locked ‘+tim in jail for punching the mayor on the jaw. cHillis was elected, and immediately on taking ffice proceeded to fire every city employe who ver had displeased him. And so, we repeat, we have seen a number f rather pained criticisms of the man. It has een stated that Newburyport is disgraced, «hat it has elected a clown to high office, that » ts civic dignity has been impugned. , All of this may be true. Doubtless a mayor ught not to act in the raw, inelegant fashion ‘dillis has adopted. Yet we are not wholly torry he was elected. « For these early days of 1928 are serious and (weighty days. There is fighting in Nicaragua, here is ® famous murderess battling for her ‘life in New York, there are serious doings in ‘ongress, there are portentous public problems . *yithout end. The air is over-grave. * And into this thought-compelling atmosphere “Freezes “Bossy” Gillis. He provides the comic elief in the daily scene and makes life less ense. He is interesting reading and we vouldn’t be without him. Gillis fired one city employe because mem- ‘ers of that man’s family had called Gillis “s akey mayor.” He demoted a fire lieutenant ¢ ecause the lieutenant’s relatives had criticized {iillis’ relatives. On the night of his inaugura- ; ion he shouted to the crowds that he was “go- +ng down to the police station and tell a few lat feet something for their own good.” An- } | ther employe lost his job because “he did me » Girt during the campaign.” ad =: And soit has gone. Highly undignified, cer- ginly, and probably reprehensible; yet, withal, : or those who do not have to live in Newbury- sort, very amusing. Accordingly, we offer the season’s greetings @ Mayor Gillis. May he continue to provide in a lighter vein, to be sandwiched in be- y the stories of Nicaraguan battles and essional cabals. The Marines Will Stay ' The United States marines have, as you may have heard, quite a reputation. ib] The old dispatch, “the marines have landed imd have the situation well in hand,” has be- a bromide.

The tailor was successful in his suit, but finds himself face to face with a problem more difficult than the legal one. To organize his victory, he must do away with the building material which occupies, unlawfully, his inch of ground. This consists of the outer inch of foundation work of the new building. for the wall above the surface conforms to the survey. Here we have a modern instance of the pound of flesh verdict upon which Shylock could not; act because he might take a drop of blood in the process. The tailor would better be care- ful how he chops away that inch of founda- tion, for he might imperil the whole building. It is a long distance from “The Merchant of Venice” and the Rialto to Chicago, but this de- cision of the court seems to have made the span successfully, Boneheads—and Proud of it! (Nation’s Business Magazine) Who wants to be a bonehead anyway? Well, down in Texas there are plenty who would like to be boneheads—and are. They’re the biggest dummies in the world. Folks like editors and preachers, great jurists and pluto- cratic dentists; the very cream of intellectual, political and business leadership in the largest city of the largest state. They’re brave enough, and independent enough, to grant themselves an hour or two every week of unrestrained, refreshing foolishness. And they’re big enough not to be afraid to be quoted as laughing. “It’s in Dallas!” is a slogan which does: not stop at ivory. There’s many a long head, many a thick head, many a knowing head, packed away here in the most unique luncheon club in the world—the Bonehead Club of Dal- las. This organization for some years has been a joy to phrenologists, an inspiration to map- makers, a stimulus to local cartoonists. Bone- heads all—and proud of it? Every Friday noon this group of professional and business men throws care aside and gives worry the horselaugh. Incidentally, it gives Dallas a hundred thousand chuckles or so. Whenever the emotions of the local citizenship become strained. the Boneheads serve as & safety valve. Whenever a political campaign grows hot and the mud is flying fast, sure as shootin’ the Boneher#@s stage a burlesque that sets the town laughing and relieves the ten- sion. There is no field wherein the Boneheads fear to tread, no dignities nor dignitaries to- ward which they stand in awe. Education, politics, economics, diplomacy, religion, drama, music—it’s all in the realm of these moderna iconoclasts. Twilight Zones and Crime (Chicago Tribune) Gov. Smith of New York expressed himself on the subject of abnormal mentality, twilight zones, and psychoses. He was listening to lawyers plead for clemency for Mrs. Ruth Sny- der and Henry Judd Gray, who are soon to go to the elec chair for the murder of the woman’s husband. Reports of the hearing said the governor did not appear sympathetic. He remarked that there was always an ab- normality in persons who commit crimes; that if such abnormalities were considered legiti- mate pleas in extenuation, then no one would ever be held responsible. Gov. Smith may agree with members of a certain school of psychiatrists, that the’ com- mission of most crimes is in itself proof of ab- normality, but he builds a very different struc- ture on that premise.

Because Wall Street operates without the blaring of _publicit; bands, few of these are ever heard of outside the walls of the business world. Yet here are men who weekly deal eed mere belie stagger even e rate jar- ies of the movie celebrities. Glancing down on the turbulent floor of the Exchange, almost any day, you can see, for instance, James well, whese grandfather James Russell Lowell, sat quietly in New Engiard dreaming immoral verses.

Smith has appealed to the com- mon man; F upheld rights of minorities against intolerant attacks and has taken the progressive stand against exploitation by water power and other selfish interests. But some of the progressives .complain that he is too popular in Wall Street, one by hanya a government by Tammany that his stand on most national prob- lems is unknown. They want to know his views on foreign relations, national prohibi- tion enforcement, tariff, farm re- lief, international armaments, immi- gration 80 on.

Female genital Cio ged many times owe .their origin to a sluggish state of the blood, heavy with foreign material which con- gests these delicate organs, and also to pressure from stinal gas. Relieve the fecal ani as pressure by an enema and see how quickly tl discomfort disappears. The material out of which tumors are developed must come from food used in excess of the body’s require- ments. The same blood which de- posited these excesses of morbid materials in the organs can take them away if given the oppestanity by reducing the quantity of food to the smallest necessary amount. Fevers (acute) develop only be- cause of some poisoning of the body by toxemias, and which at times brings up these poisons in an elim- inative crisis. Out of what can you generate tl ffete material if not from unnecessary food? Flatulence, or excessive gas pres- sure, is perhaps the most common sympton prevalent with every dis- ease. lost people are literally “walking gas factories.” Out of whi ‘an you make this stomach and intestinal gas if not from food used improperly? Gallstones are alkaline concretions which form in the gall ducts or gall bladder from the stagnation of thickened bile. This congestion ot| bile not only produces gallston but also all liver der: ments. The cause is unquestionably entirely. from using improper food in too large a quantity. This brings on many digestive disorders, due to the reflex action of the gall bladder upon the stomach and small intes- tine, especially in the region of the duodenum. In many cases the most violent symptoms of indigestion are lue solely to an irritated or infected gall bladder filled with thickened bile or gallstones. ‘ Goitre (simple) is characterized by an enlargement of the thyroid fhe owing to the deposit of min- eral matter from a too liberal quan- food rich in these ot is irritated, as in hyperthyroidism, in addition to this mineral deposit there is an additional cause in toxic irritation from the byproducts of imperfect metabolism, due to die- tetic errors, Headaches are not usually pro- duced by anything more mysterious than plain biliousness.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: A.E.M. asks: “Are lem- ons and salt hard on the kidneys? I drink two cups of hot water with a little lemon juice squeezed into it every morning, as I have heard this was bo for biliousness, but ave also heard it was hard on the idneys.” . Answer: The lemon juice you take in the morning never ly reaches the kidneys. All of the citric acid fruits are beneficial to the body if used properly, but no matter how used, these fruits never have any bad effect on the kidneys. Be sure to take your water and lemon juice at least thirty minutes before breakfast. This is a good stomach cleansing treatment and induces the flow of bile, but is best h away from a meal. Question: G.G. asks: “What do uu think of the banana-nut com- ination which all health magazines recommend? Isn’t this a protein- starch combination?” Answer: Bananas and nuts do not make a good combination from the standpoint of physiological chemistry. sine to find eat ihe parentage af Possible to out ie nt @ child by a blood test?
