Frazier pointed out that this would consti- tute a source of competition for per- Sons already in the farming business. ‘That this is true can hardly be de- nied, for every mouth which feeds Stself is one less for the commercial producer to fill. It is doubtful, however, if the sena- tor's criticisms are fully justified in view of the existing situation. No matter if the farmer or the manu- facturer does lack a market for his products, every individual has a right to live and a right to assist himself in that effort. Neither can it be de- nied that if the government must furnish people with subsistence it should do so as cheaply as possible in the interest of the taxpayer. This means that the person to be bene- fited should be given as great an op- portunity as possible to help him- self, Also, it is doubtful if persons who cannot finance their purchases ‘would add much to any market, agri- cultural or otherwise. Further consideration of the situa- tion which may prevail in North Da- kota after the CWA is ended on May first, will bring many persons to a belief that our system of highway maintenance, both state, township and county, ‘might profitably be changed in the interests of the com- mon welfare. If the state must take over @ part of the relief burdens, as now seems probable, it should arrange to do so on the most satisfactory and economical basis possible. One way of doing this would be to adopt a share-the-work program with regard to highway maintenance, permitting more than one person to perform the duties which now are assigned to single individuals. Granting the fact that the work might be carried on a little less efficiently than now and that the cost of supervision might rise a little, the benefit to be obtained by spreading the taxpayers’ money over more families is not to be de- nied. Whether or not North Dakota is ready to look at this situation in a non-political light may be doubtful, but the idea is worth considering if general conditions do not pick up enough to permit generally satisfac- tory employment throughout the countryside, Peculiarities of Justice Some of the things which men do in the name of justice are peculiar, to say the least. For example take the case of Har- ley Edwards, 8 murderer who was gondemned to die in the electric chair at the Indiana state peniten- fiary. Driven almost insane by the fear of ‘@pproaching death, Edwards attempt- ed to end his agony of anticipation by committing suicide. He slashed his wrists and was not found until he had lost a great deal of blood and Was near death. Although the time ‘get for his execution was only a few hours away, jhe prison authorities Tushed the man to the hospital and Anduced another convict to give his blood for » transfusion in order that the man might be kept alive until the hour set for his execution. It probably is all perfectly regular and in keeping with the letter of the Jaw, but one wonders as to the spirit involved in such matters. To say the Jeast, it would have been much sim- It’s the Auto Driver Who Is Unsafe If there were any indication, any- where, that the American motorist was beginning to learn how to drive in safety, the figures on fraffic ta- talities would not be so discouraging. ‘We could say, in that case, that the ie g& 5 50} stance, that nearly 33 per cent of the making a worse record now than six, years ago. | Look at the figures. In 1927 there Were 23,200,000 autos in use in the United States. In 1933 the number was 23,800,000—an increase of only) 26 per cent. In 1927 auto accidents | killed 25,533 people; in 1933 they | killed 29,900—which is @ rise of 17 per cent. ‘These figures can mean only one thing; That we actually are driving with less care today than we were six years ago. Far from learning how to handle these new machines, we are getting worse. Fatalities are in- creasing at a faster rate than auto registrations, This belief is borne out when the factors involved in the accidents are examined. It is revealed, for in- 29,900 people killed in 1933 died in accidents in which drivers were ex- ceeding the speed limit. Eighteen per cent of the deaths came when drivers went off the road. Thirteen per cent were caused by| vehicles being on the wrong side of| the road; an equal percentage came| from some driver's failure to give the right-of-way to a vehicle entitled to} it. ‘Those figures are utterly damning.) They prove, as clearly as any black and white tabulation could prove, that our auto death toll is going up because of criminal carelessness and selfishness on the part of the drivers. Number of cars in use is only slightly higher than it was six years ago. The cars themselves are far safer; they are solider, their brakes are better, they stick to the road bet- ter, they are easier to keep under oon- trol. It is the human element, and it alone, which has failed. What are we going to do? It would be horribly expensive to increase the number of city and rural traffic po- ce five-fold. It would be a dreadful nuisance to require, by law, the in- stallation of automatic governors lim- iting car speeds to 35 miles an hour, or some such figure. But it begins to look as if we shan’t make our highways even reasonably safe until we put through some such drastic and costly safeguards. We must find some way of protecting ourselves from our own foolishness. Trouble in Uniform Dispatches from London report that the British government seriously is considering action to disband all uni- formed political bodies, such as the Fascist black shirts organized by Sir Oswald Mosley, England never has been plagued with these organizations to the ex- tent that continental countries have been; nevertheless, it is beginning to have difficulties with them, and dur- ing the last six months of 1933 noj fewer than 22 disturbances in which men wearing political uniforms were involved were reported. As a general thing, 4t can be said that when political parties take to organizing their young men into semi-military bodies, dressed in dis- tinctive uniforms, there is trouble ahead. These bodies are not designed for use in harmless parades; they are organized for fighting, if their direc- tors think it necessary—fighting with their fists, with clubs, or with guns. ‘There is precious little place for them in s democracy. If the British government plans to abolish them the action will be very easy to un- derstand. Hands Across the Strait As a gesture of international good will our government could do worse than to assist the Soviet government in its effort to rescue 101 men and ‘women marooned on an ice floe in the Bering strait between northern Siberia and Alaska. Efforts to rescue the party, strand- ed when its vessel was crushed in the heavy Arctic ice, have proved futile and the Russians now are con- templating attacking the problem from the Alaskan side. North Dako- tans, recalling the spendid assistance given by Soviet aviators in the hunt for our own Carl Ben Elelson, would favor such a movement by the gov- ernment at Washington.

A good many mis- guided young women have been bitten by the Hollywood diet bug and have ended their careers in a tuberculosis sanatorium. A moderate reduction diet intelli- gently followed is rather beneficial to the health of the overweight individ- ual of mature age. But a young per- son who has not yet attained com- plete adult development cannot safe- ly restrict diet in any way, unless un- der the personal direction and obser- vation of her own physician. Children in their ‘teens need as much or in some instances more nour- ishment than their sedentagy par- ents need, for the young ones are not only more active physically, as a rule, but invariably require a fair amount of energy for growth and de- velopment, and if their diet is un- intelligently restricted in any way they simply do not get the required energy and inevitably they suffer grave consequences, among which the lighting up of that smouldering or latent tuberculosis which most of us have is but one manifestation. The average adult who does no hard work or play but lives a sedentary life requires perhaps 3,000 calories daily. From social habit and the constant temptation to indulge in superfluous sweets or “refreshments” such as candy, ice cream, sweetened or mildly alcoholic beverages, the average sed- entary adult takes from 3,500 to 4,000 calories daily, and the excess—well, that’s what we are dealing with in these talks. A man doing hard outdoor work, or @ woman doing washing, scrubbing or sweeping needs a daily ration of from 4,400 to 4,800 calories. U.S. army rations yield about 5,000 calories, and @ soldier doesn’t grow fat on that. U. 8. navy rations are 400 or 500 calo- ries more than the army rations. ‘There are no satisfactory tables or figures to show how many calories a person burns off by walking a mile, by dancing, or by other forms of work, play or exercise. But here are a few scientific data of interest: Walking 2 miles per hour increases metabolism (oxidation or combustion rate) to three times the resting rate; walking 4 miles per hour increases it to five times the resting rate. That means you burn up the excess fuel or Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper, ercises such as many follow to keep “fit” are fine for the purpose, but not. so good for reduction.

I shall always be grateful to you. I did just exactly as your in- structions said and it worked out fine. (Mrs. G. W. P.) Answer—Constipation is only a bad habit. Wrong psychology.

One thank is as good as a thousand.

I tried adrenalin, ephedrin, amytal, even morphin, with- out effect, and finally bethought my- self of histamin, and gave him two doses of 3 minims each, hypodermi- cally of course, and this brought im- mediate &nd lasting relief.
