The most recent revelations, deal- ing with the way political employes swindled the aged, the blind, the fee- jble, and the poverty-stricken wards jof the city at the Welfare Island Home for the Destitute, are about as shocking as anything one could read. Even the microscopic savings of these most unfortunate folk were not jtoo small for the Tammany hench- men, They swindled these people they were supposed to protect, took the small sums that they had saved to prevent burial in the Potter's |Field, and in general displayed a meanness and a petty spirit of thievery that are almost beyond be- lief. Here we have the evils of selfish political control of a city government carried to their logical conclusion. It ought to be a potent object lesson for all of us, to the people, and thereby did a good work.

It would be untrue to say that th: imsurance agents were wholly dis: terested. It is by the sale of insur- | ance service that they earn their liv- ing. But that fact need not cloud the benefit which they confer upon humanity every day in the year.

A Weak Argument (Aneta Panorama) Governor Langer’s dismissal from the federal relief set-up for the state, by relief administrator Hopkins, brings out some queer arguments by the Langer apologists. One of them, and most frequently repeated, is that the governor did not have charge of the relief work of the state for the past year, hence could not be held responsible for the acts of those who had. If this was the case, how could the governor be discharged from a job he didn’t hold, or had held for the past year? One cannot be discharged from a job he doesn't have! The telegram from Hopkins at Washington plainly stated that the governor of North D: kota, William Langer, was “relieves from his duties as head of the relief works. How could he be “relieved” if he had not had charge of the job, or been its nominal head, or from a job he did not hold? Then why, if he did not hold this job, take a dismissal to heart which should not concern him? It looks to us like much ado about nothing, or trying to make it appear that black is white, if Langer’s argu- ment is true. Authorities at Wash- ington should and do know who is at the head of federal works in the vari- ous states of the union, and to say that they would “fire” some one that held no job with them is as asinine as to say that they do not know whether Roosevelt or Garner is presi- dent of the United States. Another argument, of the same na- ture, is that the governor and his adherents loudly and long denounced relief money had gone into The Lead- er fund, and in the second breath admitted that in any case it had only been a measly $184, and that had been given “voluntarily.” . The law provides that the intent and of a crime fixes the punishment, NOT the amount in- pe i a |optician (one who makes or deals in test of vision made at any time. But adults of mature age who become con- scious of any difficulty in reading fine print, for instance, should give them- selves the benefit of an eye examin- ation. For persons of mature age it doesn’t matter whether the measure- ment of vision is made by an oculist (eye physician), an optometrist (per- son trained to measure vision) or an optical instruments and eye glasses) If price is no object, perhaps the op- tician with long experience in fitting glasses, will give the most satisfac- tion. Otherwise I should prefer the optometrist (at least I have found optometrists more capable in this work than oculists who have furnished glasses for me). A second class of people who should wear glasses but do not are youthful persons who reluct to wear glasses be- cause they think glasses will detract from their personal appearance. That. may be so, yet the impairment of vi- sion that is likely to occur from long neglect of moderate refractive error or unconscious strain will spoil per- sonal appearance even more at a time in life when it is a better asset than it is in early youth. Besides, the eye- glasses available today detract little if at all from good looks. The third and most important class of people who should wear glasses but do not are near-sighted children. Myopia is the medical term for near-sightedness. It is a common condition, often hereditary, and may be present at birth. Its prevalence increases steadily from primary school are up to college age.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ice Cream Is Healthful Food People who ought to know say that ice cream is not only very nutritious but easily digested, and for that rea- son is much used in hospitals. Does the factory product actually contain milk or cream and eggs like the old fashioned home made ice cream? (W. R. 0.) Answer—The factory product is wholesome, nutritious and digestible enough. Besides it is easy to eat! However, it doesn’t contain as much milk or cream or egg as the old time home made ice cream did. Perhaps it is just as well, for us fattish cus- tomers at any rate. . It Is in the Mental System Kindly tell me what to take or eat to rid my system of acid. (D. E.) Answer—Just rid your mind of the notion and you'll be all right. The “acidosis” complex is absurd. No ac- cumulation of acid occurs in the body except as a CONSEQUENCE of some illness, or from excessive fasting. Copyright, 1934, John F, Dille Co.)
