A But it is gone, this custom. One by one con- sitions changed as mechanical inventions came #2 to cut us off from this simple pleasure. The how, and the commercialized amusement park =all contributed to supplant the Sunday aft- rnoon walk with something more hurried and } .siversions; we must be always going some- ““yhere, and when we get there we must either | e entertained or hurry off elsewhere. The Full Page Ad As the newspaper man looks over exchanges oming from various parts of the country, he ~3 impressed with the great use that is being z nade of advertising. The advertising space ; Bed in newspapers has greatly increased. Take the big city dailies, for instance. If = ou took the newspaper which before the war t sed to run an average of about 16 pages, the : hances are that paper will be running today aarily due to the use of more news, though he space given to reading matter is increased. big share of the increase is due to adver- F btm The fact that so many concerns are to put up the money for this big dis- shows. how thoroughly standardized ad- vertising has become, and how much it is de- led upon for results by those who use it tently and with judgment. Fortunes are ‘made every day through advertising, and this means a multitude of business men are out of small and inferior positions into hip in the business community.

The Japanese art collector, a great number of the finest Japanese print collections have been made in the Uinted States and in England, has been for years buying up may of these examples of the art of his native land. Having acquired a representative col- lection he started home with them. |was told that his articles were luxuries and an import tax of $500,000 was demanded before he could take them into Japan. Refusing to pay such an exorbitant tax, the Jap collector is bringing his prints to the United States and will nrobably dispose of them here unless he finds them costly to land here 6.00 1.00/ One thing may be said for the custom house officials, they declare art is a luxury and then But the alert and appreciative Jap revenue agents have deprived their country of a valuable art collection and there is no assur- ance that this country will not lose the same tollection for the same reason. As congress cannot foresee every exceptional case when it makes the tax laws it should en- dow the revenue collectors with scme discretion- ary powers or at least correct its own errors as soon as they are discovered. The Ladies in Politics It has been the custom, of recent years, to speak rather lightly of women’s efforts to There has been a gen- eral impression that the ladies were wasting their efforts. But now it begins to look as if they had been working to some effect. When congressional leaders announced the other day that the “big navy” plan was being modified radically, they said that this was to be done because of the great storm of public protest that had reached them. added that most of this protest came from women and women’s peace organizations. We may not have very many women in public office, but it would seem as if women are begin- ning to take a pretty active part in our govern- ment, after all. | Editorial Comment Still at Work at Ninety-five (Minneapolis Journal) That Thomas A.

The normal functions of the thy- roid gland are dependent, to a large extent, upon the action of the small amount of iodine which this gland contains. When the thyroid en- larges, as in simple goitre, it is found that there. is always a dimin- ution of the iodine content. I have seen these simple goitres develop with one person in a family where the diet was the ordinary mixed diet found on the average table. Plenty of foods containing iodine were used, but for some Teason, one member of the family, and not the others, developed a goitre. From my observation it seems to me that this one person grows a large thyroid not because he has not received sufficient iodine but because, for some reason, in his case the iodine contained in his food has not been transferred to the thyroid, or its action in the thyroid has been interfered with. I have seen such a case improve at once as soon as all starches and sugars were entirely eliminated from his diet so that he used the rest of the ‘ocods he was formerly accustomed to but simply left out all grain foods, starchy tubers, and sugars. After a rest of several weeks from carbohydrate metabolism, this pa- of a small amount of carbohydrates without any harm resulting or any enlargement of the thyroid.

The cure of a simple goitre is still more “simple” if a short fruit fast is taken preceding the non- carbohydrate diet. The gland re- duces very rapidly under the fast, and the changes are so great that it is inadvisable to wait for the slower changes which would come from simply eliminating the carbohy- drates. A best plan is to take a small amount of fruit juice each day, combined with large quantities of distilled water.

E. writes: “T have been sel by . ew cond a rolling-pin is good for lucing. Another friend contradicted the statement, saying that it was very injurious, Is it or is it not? I am ive feet five inches tall, 32 years ‘old, and weigh 126 pounds. Am I underweight or overweight?” Answer: The only correct way to reduce is through diet and exercise. Massage with a rolling pin is not very effective, and only tends to break down the cellular structure. tient is then able to resume the use! Your weight for your age and height seems to be about normal. Question: Mrs. L. G. writes: “I am very interested in your articles, and would like very much to see a write-up on ‘Alcoholic Drinks’.” Answer: I cannot elaborate on this subject in a short answer in this Question and Answer eka ment, Alcoholic drinks should be used carefully if at all. They are stimulating and helpful in certain cases and under certain conditions. Where too much is used, stimulation stops, and depression or intoxication begins. Question: C. M. asks: “What would you advise for gall bladder trouble? I am having sick head- aches, and vomit often.” Answer: I have written a great deal on this subject, and will be glad to send you complete information about the cause and cure of various forms of gall bladder trouble if you will send me your name and address. In the meantime cut down on the amount of food you are using, and, 'to begin with, try a short fast on fruit for a few days.

You sit there and write about modes and manners of Man- hattan, without the slightest idea of what will interest the people out there. You take it for granted, for instance, that people elsewhere are interested in prohibition. They’ve forgotten what a drink is out there. They don’t care one way or another. “As for smoking—well, I’ve had one cigaret since I left. Girls in polite society don’t smoke out there —at least not in public. Had smoked at home, it merely would have caused an unpleasant scene. I never so much as heard of a cock- .|tail and when I was asked to talk about New York, it was with the furtive sense that I would tell some- thing shocking. People still look upon going to New York as being associated with kicking out the lights and visiting the wicked big city. I was called upon for a speech, and when I asked for a topic suggestion they told me to tell them about Greenwich Village. Now what can I tell them? I've lived in the Village for two ycars and I’ve never seen sore to make speeches about, unless it be that the Village must have changed, since I can’t find any of the things people expect to hear about. Why don’t you enlighten the people out there?” T don’t know just what I can do about it that I haven't done. People don’t want to be disillusioned. If they want to think that New York way they think it is, I don’t see what can be done. Heaven knows that, week in and week out, I have written the dirge of a Green- Village that has gone, never to T have no desire to fashion the rest of the world after Manhattan. One’s tastes are so much a matter of the ircumstances of life all around. i When in Rome one does not need to become a Fascist; but it’s more comfortable! And again, week upon week, I’ve tried to show that above and beyond all the fluff and fuss and fury recorded about this city, there con- tinues to rise a giant whose shadow now falls over all the world. Whether our New York girls are good, bad or indifferent; whether we drink too many cocktails and un- dress our chorines and run our night clubs, are more or less unimportant —though alluring—sidelights. What thrills me, and what should thrill all who are not blind, is that here on our eastern coast rises the strangest metropolitan experiment -of all time. Here is a monument to strength and young ideas and power and gold and materialism and brains and brawn and the groping vitality of a new world! Steel and stone are its symbols and man is relegated to his ant-like place in the scheme—just as the soil and the corn are symbols of my friend’s homeland, The rest is just part of the pageant that passes in the foreground! __ GILBERT SWAN. f KFYR Radio Programs ° Wednesday, February 22 9:30 to 11:00 a, m—Music and complete weather forecast. 12:30 to 1:00 p. m.—Music. 1:00 to 1:15 p. m.—Markets, wate tor Ls20 pe aa—A\ ¢ Sammy’ 315 to 1:30 p. m.—Aunt household aiaee * 6:30 to 7:30 p. m.—Melmona Sis- ters, Harmony Girls; Mrs, Joseph P, nea te} a8 p. ma.—Weather 280 to 7: m.—Weat - TIE ss scha. sae Bs 200 p. m.- 0, Will, tal on indian Lore. saci sas] The new flivver airplane was forced to stop on top of a hill on its way to Florida.
