Even the Chinese Had the Idea in B. C. | Period . .. Prophetic Words From Henry George. Washington, May 6.—There is one indoor pastime of which this community seems never to tire. First, you have to have a book. Then you open it up, lick your chops, and start read- ing passages which tend to indicate that the problems of the New Deal are really only the same old problems of a hundred or a thousand years ago and that there really isn’t anything new under the political-economic sun. Thus a bureau chief recently pulled out from a li- brary shelf Mark Twain's “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court” and read therefrom certain comments of the central character, Sir Boss. One assumes Mr, Roosevelt read them at one time or another and although it isn’t on record that he seized the expression “New Deal” from Twain, the comments have a rather familiar ring in these days of worry over concentrated wealth and corporate power. Here’s the “And now here I was, in a country where a right to say how the country should be governed was restricted to six persons in each thousand of its population. “For the 994 to express dissatisfaction with the reg- F, the local news of spontaneous origin pu Ail rights of republication of all other matte: miso reserved.

As a matter of fact, q freform is a necessary preliminary to recovery n some instances. This fact was recognized $y no less an individual than Richard Whitney, president of the New York stock exchange, in on address a few weeks before he retired from ohat position. “ Many proposed reforms are doubtless in- mdvisable and impractical even if adopted. Even Hf business doctor with little or no interest in tthe patient finds that out in time. But others necessary if the people are to have the ‘ppportunities to which they are entitled.

Faults on the Sands In the ritual of one of America’s great fraternal or- there occurs a statement something like this: faults of our friends we write upon the sands but virtues are engraved upon the tablets of memory.” I¢ is s beautiful sentiment and one much at variance @ New York editor's recent definition of a “perfect if there could be such a thing) which would, other things, “print obituaries which would be Ubelous.” Any reasonable interpretation of this remark is that gentleman would, if he dared, print harsh and bitter about the dead, rather than remember thelr vir- ‘Thus he might say of a dead woman not that she ‘@ warm and generous heart but that she had a sharp He would say of the citizen called to his reward, that he helped to build up his community by tending his own business but that he was a miserly old cur- n who always was throwing a wet blanket upon n kinds of enterprise.

A Kentucky reader aged 85 years tells me he sold his car to force him to walk. He says: “I eat hearty, sleep like log and walk everywhere.” Now listen, you marathon sitters who take all your oxygen mixed more or less with gasoline, carbon monoxide and the aroma of burning rubber. “Never have a headache, nor indigestion.” The trouble is most folks haven't confidence in oxygen unless it comes in a tank with a lot of gadgets for administration of the gas in measured doses. z Bye second sight I can tell that the ambulant Kentuckian bas a good metabolism, and that’s worth a great deal in these days of high prices. Walking two miles per hour increases metabolism three times the rest- ing rate. That is to say, it makes the body absorb three times as much oxygen as it does when resting. Walking four miles an hour, which is a brick gait with no stops for traffic signals, increases metabolism four times the resting rate. Waltzing increases metabolism fourfold, as does foxtrotting. Dancing & mazurka or polka, it was found in the Physiology Institute at Helsingfors, Finland, increases metabolism almost tenfold. A woman doing light housework requires 2500 calories a day. A United States soldier's ration is 5000 calories a day. A lumberjack needs the same amount of fuel as a soldier. A sailor in the navy gets a ration of about 5,500 calories a day, as he has to expend additional energy hoisting his trous- ers. The Kentucky correspondent tells something else which may interest persons who have varicose veins. For years his wife suffered from varicose veins, Often she had cramps in the night and he would massage the leg until the cramp relaxed. This being a Kentucky story we have to have a horse or two in it. The correspondent had seen trainers of famous race horses bandage the horse's legs after exercise or a race with bandages soak- ed with witch hazel extract. “He induced his wife to try the same treat- ment, with the astonishing result that it actually reduced the varicose veins, some of which were as large as duck eggs, and apparently brought about per- manent cure, Dr. John H. Musser, distinguished diagnostician and teacher, strongly recommended witch hazel as an internal medicine for varicosities, whether in the veins of legs, or in hemorrhoids or in varicocele. Not the highly di- luted popular fluid, but the then official fluidextract of hamamelis ‘witch hazel leaves), of which a teaspoonful four times a day was the dose. Of course it must be taken daily for many months to test its efficacy. At the same time it would do no harm to apply the familiar witch hazel water, popularly called witch hazel extract, to the swollen vein externally every day, or better, apply an ointment made with 3 drams of fluidextract witch SE ee nee OER TATE ment.
