It certainly has been toward the quaint side when the Republicans, who have been bellowing their an- guish these last couple of years over the sad fate of a Democratic party which elected a president who dis- regarded his platform and demon- strated that the party had never discover themselves in a pickle on the same shelf. Vague indeed were the 1932 public utterances of Franklin D. Roosevelt and even more vague—also very scarce—were the preconvention re- marks of Alf Landon on national is- sues, Now, in somewhat the same man- ner as Roosevelt took the Democratic conservatives for a ride by introduc- ing the New Deal—but of course to a much lesser degree—Landon has fooled some of the powerful Repub- lican elements by promptly broaden- ing the party platform after its adop- tion. He waited until his nomination was cinched before he took the party into/ his confidence. The coy game goes on. Landon in recent months has astonished several eastern liberals who have visited him by private statements indicating an advanced progressive point of view. These liberals have returned from Topeka reporting that he was for The New French Government Moves In “everything in the New Deal” and merely wanted the country to get it cheaper and more efficiently. As for Roosevelt, he has very def- inite ideas as to what he would like to do about the U. 8. Supreme Court, whose decisions he feels are both po- litical and reactionary. But he won't tell you what these ideas are, * * * Their Words Don't Add Up ments of statesmen. Senator Borah, for instance, had in his campaign.

Dr. Townsend was recognized in the security plank’s approval of a pay-as- you-go policy, old age pensions for all needy Americans over 65, and fi- nancing by “a direct tax widely dis- tributed.” And then, as Borah left town, Lan- don hurled a couple of dead cats af- ter him by suggesting a change in the Constitution, which Borah opposed, and by declaring for the gold stand- ard, which Borah detests. If Borah can now claim that he's even half-satisfied by what happened in Cleveland, he's the kind of fellow who would congratulate a dentist who pulled the wrong tooth.

D. ining to health but not anes SL e cell, "Write letters oriotiy. and in ink, Addresa Dr. Bredy tn c: of ARTHRITIS IS ENIGMATIC BUT COGNIZABLE ‘Today the term “rheumatism” has no definite meaning. It generally sug- gests some form of disability from inflammation of one or more joints. ‘The severe illness of children and young adults formerly called inflam- matory rheumatism and rheumatic fever is now known as acute infectious arthritis. This dread illness is likely pharyngitis, sore throat, tonsillitis or to follow one or more attacks of acute quinsy, when the germs (various strains of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and sometimes Pneumococcus) responsible for apes throat invide the system and lodge in the linings of the joints. Aside from the fever and pain of the attack, there is always danger of in- volvement of the lining of the heart valves. Such inflammation of heart lin- ing is called endocarditis. It is the origin of most valvular heart disease. In certain instances it may occur as the is, without apparent involvement of sole manifestation of rheumatism—that any joint, or the joint symptoms may have been so slight that no attention was paid to them. So-called “growing pains” in a child who has had repeated sore throat or trouble with the tonsils should arouse suspicion and receive proper. medical attention. Acute infectious arthritis is a rather frequent sequel of scarlet fever, and endocard- itis may develop with or without apparent joint involvement in the course of chorea (St. Vitus’s dance). Removal of infected (not merely enlarged) ton- sils preferably by diathermy (electro-coagulation), in my judgment prevents arthritis, valvular disease or chorea in many cases. Unfortunately we have no way of preventing such consequences of sore throat or the cri. But the original respiratory infections may be prevented, if people will only practice the golden rule of hygiene. We can’t go into this at sufficient length here. It is clearly set forth in Little Lesson in the Ways of Health No. 5, “Call it Cri.” Probably the most familiar form of arthritis is chronic infectious arth- ritis. Infectious means of bacterial character, not necessarily communicable. This form of arthritis is caused by focal infection. That is, the bacteria first establish a nidus or breeding place in some part of the body, such as the tonsil, about the root of a tooth, in and eventually travel thru the blood ® sinus, or in a septic focus elsewhere, stream to gain a new foothold in the lining of one or more joints. It would seem that other factors than infection must be concerned, else few of us could escape arthritis, but we do not know precisely what these other factors are. At present the best medical thought is that the state of nutrition has muc! later. h to do with it. This will be discussed In practice there is one way to determine whether a septic focus revealed by @ searching examination is the source of the trouble, in a given case of chronic infectious arthritis, and that is the therapeutic test. Remove, clean out, drain, eradicate, sterilize or disinfect the septic focus and see whether the joint trouble presently begins to improve. If it doesn’t, the darn doctor was just guessing. If it does prove successful, say no more about it. That's human nature. . (Mrs. PW.

It tends to destroy the ability of the masses ‘to goods, consume them and return again to the market for more. It tends con- stantly to increase the lack of bal- ance between producing power on the one hand and consuming and pur- chasing power on the other. . . “The remedy, we believe, is a return to price competition and a strict en- forcement of the anti-trust laws.” The senator says the American peo- ple should know what they are get- ting into if price-fixing is introduced as a national policy and he adds that he is not ready to believe “that the ‘American people are yet willing to so for peptic ulcer patients and for people who have to live with ‘em. (Copyright 1936, John F. Dille Co. radically change their form of gov- ernment.” The importance of Senator Wheel- er’s speech is that it is a challenge to both political parties. His doctrine is not far different: from that of Sen- ator Borah, Republican, who has been attacking monopolistic practices and price-fixing. As a matter of fact, Senator Wheeler's proposals can hard- ly be accepted without embarrass- ment by the New Deal administration because the latter, through the NRA, was willing to suspend the anti-trust laws and has now endorsed the Guffey bill which establishes price-fixing as & governmental policy in the coal in- dustry. Governor Landon, the Republican nominee, has, therefore, a real oppor- tunity to take up Senator Wheeler’ plea. It is in conformity with the platform generalities adopted at the Cleveland convention. Will the Kan- sas governor make the same kind of speech in his campaign as has the Montana senator, or will he be in- fluenced by that section of industry and business which wants price-fixing, either by the government or by its own trade bodies, so as to attain vir- tual monopoly through a “stabilized” price that protects the inefficient and gives a large margin of profit to the efficient? Mr. Wheeler has made a most strik- ing speech on the issue of Fascism versus Americansim because it is really at heart a contest between mon- opoly and competition. The pass- age of the Guftfy bill will commit the New Deal to the Fascist idea and the proposal to include in the Democratic platform a declaration in favor of amending the constitution to give the federal government power to regulate prices in agriculture and industry is the natural sequel to such a move. The possibility of an outbreak on this issue at the forthcoming plat- form discussion in Philadelphia would be greatly increased if this were not a year in which the delegates are chosen by the administration itself. against Fascism among the truly lib- For obviously there is a revolt on eral members of the Demorcatic party, or New Deal. party as it lately has ‘come to be known.
