Washington NICOTINE POISONING re nicotin {a a colorless Mquid with a atsagreeable penetrating oder and a burning, caustic taste, On exposure to air it gradually turns brown. It appears to be a medical tradition that a very minute dose of pure nicotin (nicotine ts old-fashioned spelling) is lethal, Witthaus stated in his 1902 textbook of Chemiatry that two or three drops would cause death. If that dose is administered. to a dog death ensues in from one to five min- utes. In cases of poisoning from tobacco itself death is slower, perhaps fo! lowing some hours of extreme weakness, insensibility and feeble respira- tion or irregular breathing of the type known as Cheyne-Stokes, A three-year-old child playing about the house found a bottle of nicotin. intended for use as an insecticide on plants, He drank part of the brown liquid, was taken to a hospital less than a block away, and died there a few minutes later. Symptoms of nicotin or tobacco poisoning, when there is time for symptoms to become manifest, are giddiness, depression, nausea, vomiting, muscular tremors, feeble, rapid irregular pulse, shallow breathing, coldness of skin, pallor, clammy perspiration, dilated pupils, sometimes convulsions. Recent study of nicotin poisoning by Drs, F. BE. Franke and J. E. Thomas of St. Louis, indicated that the most effective treatment of nicotin poison- ing is artificial respiration, if this is started before circulation fails and kept up interruptedly till muscular paralysis has disappeared; and injec- tion of epinephrin (adrenalin) into the heart wall. Several cases of nicotin poisoning, tobacco poisoning, have been reported, due to the popular notion that tobacco is a good medicine for one thing or another. Thus children have been given enemas containing a decoction of tobacco and poisoned. A woman suffered a cut on the leg, applied a tobacco leave poultice, and suffered poisoning. Besides the remedies mentioned, good emergency stimulants are hot strong coffee, aromatic spirits of ammonia, and external application of heat. When giving coffee as an emergency stimulant to a person so weak and faint, have the cup only half full, and support the patient's head with one hand while you put the cup to his lips with the other. Be sure the liquid is not too hot. If the patient is unconscious, feed only a spoonful and wait to see whether this is swallowed, before giving more. If aromatic spirits of ammonia is the stimulant available, give a’teaspoonful in a quarter of a glassful of water, cool. Keep the patient’s head low, the feet and legs ele- vated. These suggestions apply as well to poisoning as to surgical shock, fainting or collapse from any cause. George D. Mann President and Publisher By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, April 1. — Donald R. Richberg is back on the inside again. Once known as “assistant presi- dent,” chief New Deal co-ordinator and head of the National Emergency Council, he disappeared from White House huddles as well as from the Public gaze after the U. 8. supreme court swung at NRA in its famous decision on Richberg’s pet Schechter case, But now he has again become such @ court favorite—without publicity— that other insiders who don't like Mr. Richberg are beginning to grumble. Richberg wrote most of the presi- dent's relief message to congress, which called for cooperation by pri- vate industry to increase employment. Don't be surprised if he soon re- ceives an important appointment under the department of justice and subsequently appears both before the supreme court on New Deal cases and before the public with pro-New Deal campaign speeches. Although his friends thought he had been treated shabbily by being drop- ped after taking many “raps” for the administration, Richberg never be- came bitter. He began a series of speeches sup- Porting Roosevelt on the constitution- al issue and relations began to warm up again when, as head of the Na- tional Progressive League, he causti- cally criticized Al Smith’s Liberty League speech. ‘His job used to be to conciliate in- dustrialists and business men with the New Deal and he probably will re- sume that function. * * * Radical Party Boomed Radicals promoting a national Farmer-Labor party now hope to have their presidential ticket on the ballot next November in about half the States. Unannounced tentative plans look toward a preliminary conference fol- lowing a call for a national party by the Minnesota Farmer-Labor party. That conference would plan for a na- tional organization and nominating convention on July 4, probably in Chicago. Kenneth W. Simons Editor Archie O.

Sloan suggests that “industry must assume the role of enlightened industrial statesmanship.” If it does so, intelligently and with a spirit of true patriotism, it will do more than anything else to curb the current tide of demogoguery, socialistic experimentation and false leadership of the people. Under our present system, the first duty of any business is to make a profit, all political soothsayers to the contrary. Only by so doing can it prove that it is rendering an essential service to the people and keep itself in position to continue that service. Successful industry has been doing this. The trouble is that in some respécts it has been’ overdone and, in the doing, industry has neglected to chase the rats out of its basement. It is not socialism to suggest that industry should be inter- ested in social conditions. That is just good Americanism and good business. Neither is it selfishness for enlightened industry, those leaders and firms who see themselves as trustees of the public welfare, to demand that the lower reaches of industry be im- proved.

Answer—Send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your cor- rect address, for booklet, “The Regeneration Regimen.” (Copyright, 1936, John F. Dille Co.) Conferences on social welfare have too long been left to the social welfare workers, most of whom have never had to rustle @ payroll or meet the hard, practical considerations of making a business go. If, in contrast, business and industry were to col- laborate in a sensible and intelligent effort to raise the standard of :iving to what it ought to be, agree on improved business practices in line with enlightened industrial statesmanship, the demand for political nostrums and fake cures would be substan- tially diminished. Indeed, such action is a necessity if the demagogues are not to prevail. The public is demanding action to improve social conditions. If they do not get it without political action they will try to get it through the latter method and that, politicians being what they are, would result in failure all around. No one, not even those whom political action was intended to help, will benefit. It is still true that no intelligent man would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. But it is also true that there must be a wider distribution of the golden eggs and that it would be highly desirable to encourage the industrial goose to engage more actively in the egg-laying process. It can be done and industry, if it will, can show the way. By so doing it can benefit every man, woman and child in America. Not only that, it can fave itself much trouble and distress. the dispute over the senate lobby committee's right to subpoena tele- grams are agreed that Chairman Hugo Black of Alabama is a very only possessed business acumen but he had developed in his years of edi- torial work a trenchant pen which he had wielded effectively in contribut- smart man. _ Whatever your opinion of the ethics| ¢- involved, consensus in Washington is | that Black’s recent counter-moves have been good as strategic maneuv- ers. Loaded down with bad pub- licity by legal and other protests from Liberty Leaguers and William Ran- dolph Hearst—who objected to Black’s perusal of their telegrams—Black first diverted public attention and got the spectators all stirred up again by re- vealing that six congressmen had lived pee punner with @ “power trust” lob- vist. Then he achieved his master coup by making available to Rep. John J. McSwain (Dem., 8. C.), an alleged copy of a telegram which Hearst by court action had sought to suppress The results were scarcely less than terrific as the popular McSwain quav- ering into the heights of melodrama, read Hearst's description of him in a message to an editorial writer as “a Communist in spirit and a traitor in effect,” The house roared its approval of McSwain, who in 1917, at the.age of 42, volunteered to go to war as a pri- vate and returned a captain.

It is just.as well that Bismarck’s recent argument over whiskers had been completed before a research worker dug up the reason Abraham Lincoln adopted whiskers. Nearly everyone will recall that pictures of the Great Eman- cipator are of two different types, those showing him with a beard and those showing him without. , The fact, as now revealed, seems to be that the whiskers ‘were a campaign device, adopted with a view to influencing ‘women’s support, for history shows that Lincoln grew his beard after his nomination. A little girl whom Lincoln knew only by name is credited with doing as much as anyone else to bring about this momen- tous decision. In October of 1860, Grace Bedell of Chautauqua, New York, wrote to Candidate Lincoln as follows: “Dear Sir:—My father has just come home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin’s. I am a little girl only eleven years old, but want you should be president of the United tes very much so I hope you won't think me very bold to write Such & great man as you are.
