Moratorium Test First legal test of the Frazier- Lemke moratorium measure, enacted at the last congress, is to be made in a Kentucky federal court before a judge who hints very strongly that he is not in sympathy with the idea and believes it unconstitutional. The law is being attacked on the ground that congress had no power to pass such Iegislation; that it de- prives people of property without due process of law, and that it fails to give proper faith and credit to the judgment of a Kentucky state court, the matter getting into the federal court on appeal. Lawyers may interest themselves in all three of these issues, but the av- erage citizen will fix his attention upon only one, that relating to the taking of property without due pro- cess. It is a barrier upon which many a law has crashed in the past and which will halt others in the fu- ture unless property rights are defi- nitely thrown into the discard and America becomes Sovietized. In the recent past we have heard much talking about “human rights above property rights” and the slogan has been popular because the average man has recognized the right of any- one to live as superior to the right of any well-situated individual to have plenty. The property right issue, however, is one of principle which affects the poor man quite as directly as it does the capitalist. No matter how little we have, we want it to be ours and we want the courts to protect us in our right to it. Any other system would mean chaos and result in the abandonment of property rights al- together. The Kentucky judge ignored this issue entirely in his instruction to lawyers on the nature of the briefs they are to file. His interest, he said, centers in the question of whether congress had power to pass the law and whether it is a bankruptcy act, as it claims to be. It seems safe to predict, however, that when the issue comes to the su- Preme court of the United States for decision, as it probably will, the issue of comparative rights as between Citizens will be paramount, for the real question is not property rights against human rights, as some would have us believe, but of property rights against property rights, just as truly as if Henry Ford and General Motors were contesting for the title to a piece of property. It ts true that the claim of one question of public interest, as re- flected in the public’s desire that every man be given the best possible s the “due process” clause of titution, since the details of gege / ‘| § az R The Bismarck Tribune| iy An Ne discovers in time what the trouble is. the same consequences and be la- beled inattentive in addition. ‘The answer, of course, is adequate physical preparation of the child for his new situation, particularly with regard to his sight. Eyes abused in early childhood may never recover from the strain thus thrown upon them. It is easily possible to handi- leap an entire life by failure to pay attention to these essentials. In Bismarck we have a splendid school nurse, skilled at noting such things in the pupils under her care, but one nurse cannot be expected to observe all the things that should be seen among several thousand chil- dren. Besides, she has a lot of other things to do besides suggest correc- tive measures, Every year the community council, @ splendid organization of women, pays for many pairs of spectacles for young eyes, recommended by the nurse in cases where the parents are unable to provide them. But the nurse, herself, would be the first to tell you that many cases where cor- rective treatment is needed probably are overlooked. In Fargo last year special atten- tion was given to this subject and it was found that nearly half of that city’s grade school pupils had defec- tive vision in greater or less degree. The probability is that Bismarck would show about the same average. The answer, of course, is to have each child examined before school starts. Physicians and dentists, who don't get much business from that source now, might properly make a special rate for this service, one high enough to cover the cost and still low enough to encourage adoption of this system by a majority of parents. They could do it as a part of their community service, to which they al- Teady give a great deal. ‘Where parents cannot pay for it,| some arrangement should be made to solve the problem either by a public Clinic, paid for from public funds, or by & more thorough inspection under the aegis of the school board after classes have started. School buildings are important— but not nearly’ so important as the boys and girls who get instruction in them. Still Ahead of Europe William Feather, Cleveland busi- ness man, returns from a trip to Eur- ope with the remark that, in spite of the depression, “this country is liv- ing on a plane that Europe will be lucky to reach in another genera- tion.” Compared with France, Germany, and England, he says, the ordinary man in the United States is living, if not a life of luxury, at least a life of comfort. Conditions in England are better | than those on the continent; but even there “the plain people do not know, as they never have known, a living standard comparable to whut we find here after five years of dev- astating depression.” Here is something worth remem- bering. It does no good, Heaven} knows, to try to minimize the effects of the depression, to try to pretend that there has been little real hard- ship. But it doesn’t hurt to remember that, when all is said and done, we are still luckier than most people. The American standard of living is an heritage which even the depres- sion hasn’t wrecked. After camping a week in a tent, a Philosopher concluded that they put soldiers in tents to make them fight- ing mad.

Ickes vs. Farley (Fargo Forum) Secretary of Interior Ickes has won another tilt with Postmaster General Farley in the matter of appointments. Mr. Ickes seems to cling to what some might term the old-fashioned notion that an appointee to a highly tech- nical government position should have his technical skill taken into considera- tion along with his political standing. ‘The result has been the approval by the President of John W.

A correspondent writes: I enjoy your column and get benefit from it. Your BB. is great. I sub- scribe to the paper solely for your column and (wouldn’t you like to know, colleagues?) But permit me to say that, like every other human be- ing, you are sometimes wrong. This is true as to alcohol. A doctor friend says “Dr. Brady is right, and he is wrong. Alcohol is a stumulant and a depressant according to the quantity.” Another doctor says “Alcohol is a Specific for the venom of a rattle- snake.” No science can equal facts. Science changes, facts Please say what treatment you id give for snake bite if the serum (antivenin) could not be had. (A. A. G.) The medical opinions A. A. G. cites may be honest opinions. So is mine. Scientifically alcohol is NOT a stimu- Jant in any quantity, but is depressant to every function of the body from first to last. If certain old timers choose to oppose their own notion about this to the observations made by scientists using methods of precision, that is all right, but we cannot give such no- tions, beliefs or traditions the same weight we give scientific observations. Quaint indeed is the physician who has the temerity to say that alcohol is a specific for rattlesnake bit. That antiquated theory has long since been discarded even from the joke books. ALCOHOLIC LOGIC AND SNAKE| BITE Here is the treatment I should want it I were bitten by a rattle snake. Immediate injection of antivenin into the tissues just above the level of the fang marks. If no antivenin at hand, then immediate criss cross in- cisions less than an inch long and about % inch deep, and immediate suction of this wound, with a cupping glass or with the mouth. Then a circle of criss cross cuts % inch long, Perhaps a dozen of them, in a circle around the fang marks and about three inches from the fang marks. Then continue the suction of these Secondary wounds as well as the orig- inal wound, for fifteen minutes or more in every hour for ten or fifteen hours. If possible inject some salt solution into the tissues thru these secondary incisions and endeavor to suck it out thru the original wound. I believe such treatment if applied immediately will prove successful in most cases. But even if it can be had hours late, the antivenin should be procured and injected in any case. Tourniquet. No hurry about this. Incision and suction first. THEN put a tourniquet around the limb above the wound, but not too tightly, and release it altogether for a few seconds every five minutes, and discard it in g retils E it which read: “Held up temporarily eyed of political objections by P. an hour or two if the incision and suc- tion prove successful in preventing Swelling and general symptoms.

Black coffee is a fine stimulant, and so is strong tea. Between suctions keep the limb wrapped in clean cloths kept wet with tablespoonful of common salt in pint of boiled water, and keep this dress- ing warm. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Nosebleed Is it harmful for a healthy girl to have two or three nosebleeds after the slightest head cold? I seem to have these nosebleeds quite often after a cold. (G. P.) Answer—But is a girl healthy who has something the matter with her head every littie while? She should in- vest in a nose and throat examination and perhaps a general health exam- ination by a physician. Prostatic Wrote about the electro-surgical ‘rote you about the elect 1 method for prostate. Went to Dr.—, was in hospital nine days, and now I am fine. Dr.— certainly knows his I greatly appreciate your kindness to me. (F. A. C.) Answer—The correspondent refers to the recently developed method of transurethral removal of the obstruct- ing portion of the prostate. Not all urologists can do this successfully, but some can, and in cases where the method is applicable it is a great boon, for the obstruction is removed without an external wound. New Concept of Reduction Do you, or do you not, recommend /dinitrophenol for reduction? ‘There is @ battle on at our house over this. (H. W. G.) Answer—Only when it is care! administered by your physician. We now have a new concept which I think is far better. (Copyright 1934, John F. Dille Co.)
