CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Boom for Roosevelt | It is a significant thing that the initial Roosevelt-for- President club has been formed at Warm Springs, Geor- gia, a health resort daily growing more famous as a spot where treatment is given to persons afflicted with the after-effects of infantile paralysis. Mr. Roosevelt, following his recent triumph in the New! York state elections, announced that he was going to visit Warm Springs to see how his pet project was get- ting along. Immediately, word came from tire southern health resort that the folks thereabout had organized a Roosevelt-for-President club and would meet him at the train with a brass band and the glad news. The idea was to ask the rest of the South to join in the move- ment, Except that it may point the way for others, it is not likely that the movement will amount to much in the South. Nevertheless, it serves the purpose of bringing out clearly one of Roosevelt's major assets in any na- tional political campaign. It will be recalled that he was assistant secretary of the navy when he was selected in 1920 as the Democratic party’s vice presidential nominee. Not long afterward he was stricken with infantile paralysis and for months it was not known if he would live or die. Then he was able to get about in a wheel chair but it was feared that he never would walk again. But Mr. Roosevelt went to Warm Springs. There the benefits of the baths, coupled with daily massage and exercise, wrought wonders. When he returned he was * practicafly cured and now no one would know by look- ing at him that he ever had been afflicted with a malady which cripples most persons for life. Naturally, Mr. Roosevelt's cure made Warm Springs famous and his interest in persons afflicted with the dread paralysis was quickencd. He could do something to aid those who had been his fellow sufferers and he did. <"c enjisted the aid of rich and powerful persons in his pet charity and the result has been the construc- tion of a really imposing sanitarium where anyone may go and where the expenses of treatment and living costs are held to the minimum. In some cases, persons go there and are treated free. No one gainsays that Mr. Roosevelt has done an im- portant and effective piece of work for those who cer- tainly need help, But, in addition, he has created a pic- ture of himself which will leave an impression in the minds of many Americans. It is that of a strong man, stricken by a disease which has proved fatal to many, but living and recovering, partly by sheer force of deter- mination, to take up his work in the world again. He serves as an example to others who suffer under handi- caps. 4 And, in addition, he has called himself to the atten- tion of the Democratic South in a forceful and friendly way. Wet and a New Yorker, he has given the South the picture of a man who is truly interested in human- ity, a man of character and determination coupled with | a friendly interest in those less fortunate than himself. | ‘The South will feel that it knows him and has some-| thing in common with him and these are valuable assets in politics. It may be that Roosevelt will be the Qemocratic presi- dential nominee in 1932. If he is, and this despite the fact that he is wet, it is hardly probable that the na- tion will again see the so-called “Solid South” rent politically asunder as it was in 1928, He will have fewer of the handicaps under which the Smith candidacy labored two years ago and a great many more assets. It might not be too much to say that his tragedy of 1921 may turn out, eleven years later, to be his greatest political blessing. Cooks and Cookery Although America has produced many dishes which | rank with the world’s culinary masterpieces, it some- how is unable to produce cooks who can prepare them| properly. This is the complaint of Ralph Hitz, managing director of the New Yorker hotel, who regrets the fact that the nation has to look to Europe for its best chefs. It is too bad about the cooks but what interests us is the list of American dishes which Mr. Hitz calls our greatest gastronomic contributions. The list includes pumpkin pie, ice cream, griddle cakes, corn bread, Creole chicken, Boston baked beans, ham and eggs, the modern sandwich, American hash, and doughnuts. That is a good list; and it is consoling to reflect that some of its items, at least, are virtually cook-proof.! Even 2 rotten cook can hardly spoil ham and eggs. It} takes an unusually bad one to turn out an unpalatable | pumpkin pie. And hash is bound to be good if the cook | is no worse than mediocre. - Still, the other numbers need skill. Think of the crimes | that have been committed by poor cooks in the concoc- | tion of leathery griddle cakes, soggy doughnuts and pale, half-cooked corn bread. Most Americans are familiar with both the good and the bad varieties. ‘Time was when pracTically everyone, excepi those liv- ing in the largest cities, ate most of their meals at home. | Now, however, in even the smaller cities a surprisingly large number of persons eat at hotels and restaurants. ‘This is true of people who could eat at home but who, for one reason or another, prefer to “eat out.” And they are surprisingly well served. Bismarck, for example, has a number of excellent eating houses where good food, well cooked, and well served, is the rule. i Even when the restaurateur reaches his peak, how- ever, few will concede that his efforts are quite as satis- factory as those of the housewife. It may be the social atmosphere, the conviviality of family gatherings, the spirit of home but whatever it is, the gustatory joys which ‘we remember best usually are those experienced by our own hearthside. If Mr. Hitz was talking about restaurant cooking most | of us have no cause to join in the argument. Restaurant | est creation that foreign chefs ever dreamed of. | favor of the underprivileged, he lives what we teach chefs and proprietors axe well able to look after them- | selves in this respect. But if he includes the American} housewife, he has an argument on his hands and we,| together with millions of others, are ready to die in the} last ditch of the discussion. | In effect, he asserts that the average American doesn’t | know good cooking—or that he doesn’t even know what he likes to eat. In addition, he has assaulted the great American tradition expressed in the well-known term, “Like Mother used to make.” There are epicures in America who outshine even | Mr. Hitz, and most of them, if the truth were known, would rather stick their feet under Dad's table and lay into Mother's cooking once again than to face the great- Seeking the Same Goal Friendship is a strange sort of thing. It appears, sometimes, where you would least expect it, and flour ishes in spots wnere you would suppose that it could find nothing whatever to feed on. So it is with the friendship between Clarence Darrow | and Dr. Clarence True Wilson. It was revealed in Hous Hl ton recently that these two men, who are in public bitter foes on almost any question one can call to mind, are in private extremely warm friends. The wet agnostic and the dry fundamentalist have debated with each other | a great deal and have traveled together a great deal; | and somewhere they have found a common ground, | where mutual admiration and estcem can grow un- checked. | Dr. Wilson's discussion of the growth of this friend- | ship is very much worth reading. It increases, some- how, one’s respect for both men. He says: “The fact is, if anybody can be a Christian without knowing it, I think it would be Clarence Darrow, for if you make a list of the Christian qualities which a Christian ought to have, such as living according to the Golden Rule, loving everybody, taking up for the ones who need it most, standing against privilege and in as the best standards of life.” That, coming from a devout churchman to a man who mounts lecture platforms to denounce religion, coming from a militant dry to one of the nation’s most cutspoken wets, is a remarkable tribute. It points to something that is of considerable importance; namely, that men| can travel toward the same goal by the most diverse} roads, and that they can make the going smoother for themselves and others if they are broad enough to real- ize that there are, in the old phrase, many paths to salvation. Each of these men has devoted his life to a battle for the truth as he has seen it. Each one has fought lustily for the sake of a cause. Each of them has been, and is, what we call a visionary—a man who has caught a glimpse of the fair place that men might make of this world if they only would, and who cannot rest until he has given all of his energy and all of his strength to the expounding of his vision. On the surface, they have been violently opposed. But underneath? They are working toward the same end— to make the world a more decent place, to remove a bit of its sin and suffering and hopelessness, to enable people to get more out of their lives in the shape of hap- piness and the fulfillment of high desires. If the rest of us—followers of one or the other of these two men, or perhaps occupants of the wide middle ground between them—could only realize as they have realized that we are, after all, seeking a common goal, even though we can't agree on the best method of getting there, wouldn't there be a good deal less bitterness and | misunderstanding in American life today? And wouldn't that be an excellent thing for all of us? Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trond of thought by other editors, They are published with- out regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Campaigns (Napoleon Homestead) With all of the supposed crookedness of politics, it is @ socializing institution. Strange bed-fellows in politics become “bosom friends” for the time being at least. | Campaigns simply get folks out and get them talking as nothing else will. Another value of campaigns is found in the scrutiny which taxpayers and citizens generally give to adminis- trative affairs. Issues from the tariff to putting a new roof on the schoolhouse are discussed. The officeholders become careful and cautious. Efficiency is the watch- word. Campaigns are great balance-wheels to govern- ment. Campaigns keep our nation a democracy and our neighborhoods a community. Without them we would fall back into autocracy. Campaigns really are to find out who will be elected— but, after all, that is perhaps one of the least important parts. When Greek Meets Greek (La Moure Chronicle) For the first time in a good many years, the La Moure/ and Edgeley football teams are meeting on the home ground—November 11, Armistice day. The two citics have been rivals over almost everything since we can remember—a football game should prove lively and in- teresting; it should also prove a drawing crowd to the patriotic citizenry who have cheerfully shouted insults at Edgeley combatants since time immemorial. That old bitter rivalry with its accompanying strife hasn't died down very much, although recent years have seen a better feeling between our towns. A brisk com- petitive spirit is both natural and desirable, it is only when we carry it to the point cf uglincss that we need to watch our steps. Edgeley ought to be our friendly rivai—if we need to, we should be only too glad to be the first to make peaceful overtures. Let's take this com- ing game in a sporting mood—may the best man win— but may it be La Moure! Heading Off a Special Session | (Minneapolis Tribune) It is to be devoutly hoped that success will attend the administration's efforts to avert a special session of the next congress by expediting legislation at the December term. The truth of the matter is that there should not be the slightest need for a special session if congress will only buckle down to work next month and proceed to the business at hand in an orderly, dignified and ef- ficient way. The program facing congress, it must be admitted, is a fairly heavy one. There are unemployment meesures to be passed, appropriation bills to be approved, and a great variety of unfinished business left over izom the last session to be considered. Nevertheless congress can make the December term suffice if congress definite- ly determines in advance to do so. We think the coun- try is in no mood to forgive either house its indulgence in petty partisan brawls and infantile squabbles which can only result in ly and inexcusable’ delay. If there was ever need for prompt, intelligent and concert- ed action on the part of congress, that need is now. The last special session of congress found that hody at its windzest and most vindictive worst. The December term, it is to be hoped, will see congress at its most diligent and energetic best. _ Whether or not the Democratic pledge of cooperation is supposed to take effect in December is a matter which reeds some clarifying, but unless it does, the sincerity of the pledge-meker may be seriously questioned. There is no better time to cooperate, afver all, than when every interest of the country will best be served by coopera- tion in the fullest degree. Such a time will come next month, and it will afford to Republicans and Democrats alike the opportunity to proceed, with a minimum of waste motion and dissension, to the business of legis- lation, The seizing cf that opportunity would appear to bc congress’ solemn duty. Certainly the country, as a whole, will not relish the prospect of a special session if it can possibly be avoided. What it wants, more than anything [fe rt else, is a December term running its smooth and even course to the goal of wise and ample legislation. ’ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1930 ime to Pick Up His Drum and Beat It!

BURKHOLDER Copyright, 1930, by The New York LVENING GRAPHIC) URTHER conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Murphy. He was accompanied by a plain clothes man. “We want to be here alone,” Murphy said to Greta and me. “Go on downstairs.” We walked out of the studio. The man with Murphy was sharp fi and appeared to take little or no interest in what was going on. guessed that he was a finge it expert, but Murphy didn’t enlighten us on the subject. Greta and I went down to the library on the second floor. Marino ,and Mona Devore were sitting on the couch. Mona was huddled up close to Marino. Her face was white. She tried to smile when we entered but it was a weak attempt. Marino looked about as bad as he did before Dr. Gray had given him face Gas sickly yellow aid his eyes face was sickly wild. Loretta Whipple sat across the room from them. Courtney and Jane Marsh were not in the room. “Where's Brandford?” I asked. “Taking another rest in on Dorn’s bed,” Loretta said. “He seems to like that bed.” I said with a forced laugh. “I guess it’s comfortable enough.” Loretta replied. Greta and I sat down. There was no occasion for any more conver- sation. and I spent my Soe trying to figure out the eral things Greta had told me. | THE PUZZLING LIGHT ! ‘The fact that the light in the hall had @ pull chain on it was puz- zling. I felt that the murderer of Dorn had not-entered the apartment through the studio door, but the fact that the light could have been pulled off and on in the hallway destroyed Murphy's theory that no one could have entered the door scent flooding the room with ight.

It was one of those little things that are easily overlooked in moments of stress. Of course. 1 Murphy had noticed that or not. 1 vlain clothes man and I didn’t know what he had discov@red or what lead he was following. Greta’s remarks about Jane Marsh were not so puzzimg. but they were ftoom with the ;stolen oS ies that Brandford had been sleeping on the bed in Dorn’s room when Marino had been attacked. Some- how I knew that he was drunk. but not quite as drunk as he wanted us to believe. But when I got to thinking about Brandford. the dark and mocking face of Dr. Gray flashed in my mind. Greta’s conversation and Court- ney’s actions had caused me to for- iget all about Dr. Gray and the discovery of the hypo syringe in his medicine case. It even caused me to forget that eerie laugh of his when he left the room. What connection had he with the murder? Brandiord insisted that Dr. Gray had been in the house when Dorn was murdered. But did Brandford know what he was talk- ing about? If Dr. Gray had had anything to do with the murder of Denny Dorn, one thing was certain. He had not been in the studio when the lights went out and Denny went into the kitchenette. Dorn had looked in the the kitchenette before entering it. He had even gone to the door and ered out in the hallway and called ior Henry Carpenter. Dr. Gray was not in the kitchenette then; neither was he in th way AN ABSURD THEORY ! Did he remain downstairs and tush up to the studio door the mo- ment Dorn closed and locked it? That was too absurd to believe. There were too many elements that would have worked against such a move. How did he know that the lights were goine to be out? Would he have unlocked the door, not knowing that the lights were out, and rushed into the kitchenette? These questions and many. others equally as difficult to answer came to my mind and I dismissed the idea that Dr. Gray had entered the studio door and murdered Dorn during that short minute when the lights were out. Somebody in that room must have killed Dorn. The stolen clue of tne handkerchief convinced me of that. Tt was impossible, ir any person to have entered the studio door and got to the kitchen- ette and out of the studio in the Space of time the lights were off. At first I had believed that the click I heard in that minute of darkness was a lock. but it was too sharp end piercing for a key in a lock. Besides.

She left the room with a cocky toss of the head. “What did they want with you?” Mona asked Marino. ay wanted to take my fin- gerprints,” Marino said in a jerky voice. “Was that man the fingerprint expert?” I asked. “I guess so,” Marino replied. “I think they are, pong to take all our Enger think they discov- ered something.” It Een a8 Ley yee aa turned to the room ani ona wen! upstairs.

I stopped at the door and told Greta that she was next and then went down on the first floor. Courtney and Marsh were in the rear of the hallway, hidden-in the dark shadows beneath the stairway. ‘They were talking in a low and excited manner.

FIBROID TUMORS AND FASTING ‘We do not know yet just what is the cause of a small group of cells or a single cell locating in one place, and beginning a mysterious swelling called a tumor, which grows where no growth was before. A tumor has no work to do in the body. It does not digest food for other tissues, as the stomach does, nor does it elim- inate waste like the lungs, kidneys and bowels. There are two kinds of tumors, the malignant kind, such as cancer, and the non-malignant, of which fatty and fibroid tumors are two examples. The big difference between a cancer and malignant growth is that the cancer destroys the tissues around it and may be said to eat into it, whereas a non-malignant tumor does not destroy nearby tissue, but sim- ply pushes it out of the way. It may affect such adjacent tissues by press- ing on them, and may cause pain by Pressing on nerves. Fibroid and fatty tumors do not usually seriously threaten the life of the patient. In fact, these tumors may exist for years and cause no dis- comfort at all, especially if they are small and do not interfere with any important nerves or blood vessels. These tumors differ from cancerous ones because they do not grow again after being removed as a cancerous tumor may. Each non-malignant growth, if several are present, forms its own starting point, while, when several cancerous growths are found, it is likely they all started from a Parent growth. Fibroid tumors are frequently found on the uterus. The size may vary from that of a pea or may increase until they weigh as much as thirty- five pounds. These enormous tumors may, of course, cause a good deal of trouble, both from pressure and from the heart being strained from the blocking of the blood circulation. It is generally impossible for a pa- tient to know whether she has a non- malignant fibroid tumor by any ex- amination she can make, herself, un- til the tumor has grown to consider- able size.“ If she is examined by a rhysician and told she has a fibroid tumor of the uterus she will prob- ably also be told that an operation for the removal of the organ is necessary. However, I do not believe that surgical measures are always necessary or advisable in the treat- ment of fibroid tumors. There are several factors which must be con- sidered in understanding the possible cure without surgery. In the first Place, the immediate cause of these growths seems to be a chronic con- gestion. In many cases I have found that a long fast will absorb these en- larged and toughened growths, when the fasting regime is accompanied by exercises of the abdominal muscles, hot sitz baths and hot douches to bring about a greater blood supply through the affected region. It is necessary to continue on the fast of fruit juice for several weeks until the body has been reduced greatly in HEALTH By Dr esTAoR Pea ter FAST WY TO HEAL FRANTIC, WECOY end Dist wil be revered! weight before much absorption of the fibroid takes place. I do not advise you to place yourself on a long fast Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and diet addressed to him, care of The Tribune. Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. Le ! unless under the care of a doctor whc understands this method. Patients write to me saying they have had good results by taking short fasts at intervals of about a month apart and using the hot applications. This is probably the best plan if you cannot be under the care of a fasting ex- pert. Always when fasting it is a good plan to have daily treatments with a therapeutic light over the entire ab- domen in addition to the hot sitz baths. Diathermy treatments are al- so helpful. This will increase the circulation and help carry away the accumulated material which has been deposited. After the fast it is ad- visable to take a large amount of physical exercise in order to keep the blood flowing through the affected Parts at a natural rate. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Not Enough Acid Question: Mrs. F. J. asks: “What can be done for a stomach which has no acid?” Answer: The fruit fast is a great help in restoring the stomach to its normal tone so that it can agair. secrete gastric juice containing the normal amount of hydrochloric acid. Home Brew Question: S. J. asks: “Will you Please answer in the column just how injurious home brew is? My husband says it is all right and drinks about three quarts each night, and has been doing this for five years. He says it would have affected him before now if it were ever going to.” i Answer: Some people can stand more than others, but I am sure that three quarts daily of any kind of beer will finally prove injurious to anyone. Perhaps your husband pre- fers living dangerously, but you'd better be sure to keep his life insur- ance premiums paid. Dandruff Question: J. M. writes: “I would like for you to print a remedy for Gandruff. I wash my hair, and in one week dandruff is all over my scalp. I have heen using lye soap, as i: have been told that it would cure pape Do not use any strong on your scalp, but wash your hair daily for one week and then every other day for several weeks. It is well then to continue shampooing the hair at least two or three times weekly. Use any plain soap but rinse your hair well afterwards, rubbing a little coconut or almond oil into the Scalp after you have dried your hair with a towel as much as possible. is Today Is the ij Anniversary of | ——— ip ea ASA GRAY’S BIRTH On Nov. 18, 1810, Asa Gray, the foremost botanist of America during his period, was born at Paris, N. Y. After graduating in medicine at| Fairfield College, Gray became cur- ator of the New York Lyceum of Natural History. This began his ca- reer as @ psofessional botanist. In 1838 he received his first definite po- sition es botanist when he was ap- pointed professor of natural history at University of Michigan. Following a leave of absence, dur- ing which he made an intensive study of American flora, Gray was appoint- ed natural history professor at Har-| vard, where he afterward made his/| great reputation, and helped that in- stitution become the American center of botanical instruction. In 1848 he tissued his famous Manual. Said to rank among the leading botanists not only of America but of | the age, Gray was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1900, only 12 years after his death. t BARBS o+——_—_______——_—_-* ‘We aren't very keen on foreign problems, but Turkey and Greece al- ways sound pretty good around Thanksgiving time. * * * A New York sports writer has been getting free coal for needy families through his column.
