At the same time the German government, either directly or through its agents, is distributing Nazi propaganda in this country, telling of the glories of the Reich under Hitler. One such publication, mailed from Berlin, comes to The Tribune each week. It contains little that is interesting to a person grounded in the political history of the United States, but it is available to anyone interested. If it fails to make converts it is not because the people are deprived of any information the Nazis wish them “to have. Attacks on Nazidom are met by the vigilance of police who put opposition propagandists in jail. Attacks on the American system are met by the sound common sense of the people who zefuse to heed the Nazi argument. It is not difficult to see which is the most desirable way. Beef and the Tariff With the tariff on farm products one of the outstanding issues of the campaign it is interesting to note that the Na- tional Grange, biggest of the farm organizations, has asked the tariff commission to investigate the comparative cost of manufacturing, canned meat in the United States and other countries. Imports of canned meat jumped from 19,500,000 pounds in 1931 to 76,000,000 pounds in 1985 and the business has been carried forward this year at the rate of 100,000,000 pounds a year. The reason, as shown by the Grange petition, is that the average price of Cattle at Buenos Aires from 1931 to 1935 was $2.90 per 100 pounds, whereas the average price of prime steers at Chicago, during the same period, was $8.04. On the basis of these figures the Grange takes the position that it costs much less to produce canned meat abroad than it does here, partic- ularly in the Argentine where most of our canned meat prod- ucts originate. Since more than two pounds of fresh meat is needed to make one pound of canned meat, the Grange contends that the present tariff of six cents a pound on canned meat is not enough to offset the lower home market price and other factors. Under the flexible tariff act, of course, the duty can be raised or lowered on the basis of the facts. The only trouble with this system—and it is clearly better than that of the in- flexible tariff—is that it apparently takes the tariff commis- sion too long to act. Campaign Debates The people of Quincy, Ill., forgot about the presidential race the other day long enough to remember a political campaign of more than 75 years ago. They held a celebration in one of their parks and erected a monument to commemorate one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. One might wish that their action would help to restore the debate to modern politics. We remember the Lincoln-Douglas peries chiefly because it stamped Lincoln as presidential timber; we forget that it was one of the finest and most intelligent campaign tours in the history of our democracy. That series brought together two candidates for high office on the same platform, night after night. They brought the issues out in the open and grappled with them with all the intellectual powers at their command. There was no chance for side-stepping or evasion in those ebates; the candidates had to stick to the issues and speak with all the intelligence they could muster. From the viewpoint of the public, it was the best possible ‘vay to conduct a campaign. Would that it could be revived in our modern democracy!

A late swing to Roosevelt doesn't necessarily mean that a majority of farmers will be with him Nov, 3—no ne knows how much of a swing that would require. And the best reason one finds for believing preponderant reports of such swing is the fact that, after many months of heavy Republican propaganda, the New Dealers have lately cut loose with what conceivably may be an effective counter-propa- ganda campaign. * * % Farm Vote Important The farmer is important in states well removed from the so-called “grain belt.” Rural New York, rural Michigan, rural Ohio, rural Pennsyl- vania—all are strongholds of Lan- don sentiment as opposed to Roose- velt strength in the cities. In numerous states the extent to which rural voters repudiate the New Deal will decide whether large Dem- ocratic urban majorities can be over- turned. But if there has been a marked crift back to Roosevelt, there's no more likely reason for it than the success of the New Deal farm propa- gandists in selling the idea that the farmers need expect few favors from Washington in the next four years if they walk out on the Democratic ticket now. Farmers have been assured that Roosevelt's election is fairly certain and that in any event there will be a Democratic congress upon which they must depend for further benefit checks and other sweeteners. In any event, farmers are receiving more reading matter in the form of Propaganda than they ever saw be- fore. Lately a great gob of it has poured out from the Roosevelt Agri- cultural committee, the farm wing of the Democratic committee, with headquarters in New York and organ- ization in every farm county. ee *% Campaign by Radio In most states the committee is headed up by Republican leaders. Every morning, very carly, and “just after milking time,” it puts on a radio program featuring a farm organizd- tion official, Secretary Wallace, an Iowa preacher, or someone else who supposedly carries an appeal. Whether all this can offset the pro- Landon declaration of such old-time farm herocs as Frank Lowden and George Peck is a moot question, But Democrats have been checring ever since the Prairie Farmer, important farm newspaper, recently broke a 97- year precedent by endorsing Roose- velt and denouncing G. O. P. efforts to rouse city people against higher food prices. Livestock raisers, as distinguished from grain farmers, are said to be overwhelmingly against Roosevelt. | The recent sudden realization of Republicans that they would have to fight to save Landon’s home state of Kansas may be an indication of the reported swing. Few observers think Landon will lose those nine electoral votes, but guesses as to his plurality now usually run between 10,000 and 25,000. ; Hundreds. of millions of federal Republicans charge a special deluge this month. Labor and the west Kansas wheat farmers are reported strong for Roosevelt. * % Towa Race Is Close In Iowa ex-Governor Lowdon is a great favorite. But so is Secretary Wallace and the eventual allocation of Iowa's 11 electoral votes is in doubt. Landon had a warm reception in Towa. Reports differ as to whether his farm speeches or Roosevelt's have had the better effect. There's more general concern in Nebraska over the political fate of Senator George W. Norris than in the state's seven clectoral votes, but Re- publicans are fairly confident of car- tying the state, even though Roose- velt's Omaha speech impressed many farmers. Norris, the 75-year-old veteran in- dependent progressive, passed up both major party nominations and ran as an independent. Although Roosevelt went to Omaha primarily to endorse him, it looks as if he might be beaten by Bob Simmons, his Republican op- ponent. Republicans are more hopeful of South Dakota than of North Dakota. In the former state, however, it is generally believed that the “relief vote” will swing the result and a realistic approach would seem to give Roosevelt an edge there. eee Minnesota Is Doubtful Hoping to win Minnesota's 11 votes, Roosevelt has cast in his lot with the Farmer-Labor party there by per- suading Democratic candidates for state office to withdraw. This action has raised a storm of criticism, chiefly from anti-Roosevelt sources, but has materially improved Rousevelt’s chances there, since the Democratic party in Minnesota meant very little and the Farmer-Labor party means a great deal. Minnesota, like most of the other farm states, is a tossup.

Down-state Illinois is concededly Republican this year, substantial gains having been made in the 1934 vote over 1932 and further’ strides being apparent in the informal canvasses that have been taken this year. But Cook county may prove the surprise of the election, Here in pop- ulous Chicago President Roosevelt received the biggest demonstration in the form of a street parade that has happened in the campaign, but not- withstanding this, Mr. Roosevelt may be lucky to get a fifty-fifty break in Cook county. Should Mr, Landon come to Chicago with 150,000 to 200,000 majority, the even break in Chicago would give the state to Landon. The principal basis for my assertion that Cook county is not as strong as the street parade would seem to indi- cate is the heavy registration in the Republican wards of the city and a reconsideration of the primary vote ot last spring in the light of the new registration figures. It is usually true that a heavy regis- tration indicates a protest against the party in power. This year, in the pri- mary, Mr. Roosevelt received 831,000 votes in Cook county, a vote that oc- casioned surprise at the time and was indubitably a demonstration for Mr. Roosevelt's benefit by the Kelly- Nash machine that it ought to be pre- ferred to Governor Horner in the dis- tribution of New Deal favors in this vicinity. But 831,000 votes, it now turns out, is less than half of the recently tab- Hold Your Ears, Everybody! | Heagiocry (© 1908, NEA ulated registration in Cook county, which is about 2,140,000. Mr. Roosevelt would have to get 259,000 more votes than he had in the primary just to get an even break in Cook county. Experience shows that the party in power usually casts just about its pri- mary vote. As for the street parade, a city that has 841,000 votes for a particular can- didate can produce at any time a street parade of 200,000 and that’s a lot of people on the streets. There is documentary evidence, moreover, of an artificially stimulated demonstra- tion. Here is the text of a facsimile letter published in local newspapers which shows that union labor leaders compelled attendance in the parade: “Dear sir and brother: You are re- quested to be in a parade, Wednesday evening, Oct. 14, 1936, at 6 p. m., at Jackson and Michigan boulevard. “This parade is very urgent and you are subject to be fined should you not appear, by the Painters, Decora- tors, and Paperhangers of America, Wood Finishers Local Union No. 61. “Fraternally yours, “J, Dhont, “Recording Secretary.” This is the first time, so far as is known, that union labor has endeavor- ed to coerce its members under pan- alty of a fine for failing to appear in @ political demonstration. Likewise, it is reported that the 30,000 holders of federal jobs in the WPA and other agencies were each required to bring five persons to the parade. This alone would account for 75,000 to 100,000 people if only one or two extra persons were brought to the line of march.

The disease is due to vitamin deficiency from its beginning, when the victim suffers only vague disturbance of health right up to the stage of complete disability. There 1s considerable evidence to support the belief that in some instances beri-beri occurs in this country, though thanks to the higher level of nutri- tion, the better scale ‘of living, the malady does not develop into complete paralysis, and the nature of the trouble is likely to go unrecognized. How- ever, numerous alert cliniclans have observed and reported the marked im- provement in certain hospitalized patients when they are given a liberal daily ration of vitamin B, These observers find that, long before the neuritis or partial paralysis becomes evident, such patients suffer from impairment of the capacity of the heart, the power of the heart muscle, and an adequate ration of vitamin B helps the weakened heart and the poor circulation more than any medicinal heart stimulant or tonic can, So-called “alcoholic neuritis,” which occurs in hard or steady drinkers who sustain themselves with alcohol rather than regular food, is now gener- ally ascribed to vitamin deficiency, chiefly vitamin B, from prolonged depri- vation, voluntary deprivation, lack of normal appetite for proper food which would supply the necessary vitamins. The administration of adequate amounts of vitamins to patients suf- fering with “alcoholic” neuritis, multiple neuritis, steppage gait, foot drop, is the therapeutic test which proves the soundness of this observation, for these patients show greater t under such treatment than was ever obtained under the treatment in vogue when the neuritis was ascribed. to alcoholic poisoning of the nerves. In pregnancy neuritis is a not. uncommon complication, The patient complains of numbness, tingling, pins-and-needies sensation, and often con- siderable ache or pain in the arms or legs the pain being worse at night. Usually the symptoms are more marked on one side than the other. Such trouble is not only preventable but curable by an optimal ration of vitamin B. Formerly the neuritis of pregnancy was vaguely attributed to “toxemia” —which means some poison or other in the blood—but evidence is now ac- cumulating to support the view that this condition is due to vitamin de- ficlency, and indeed the “toxemia of pregnancy” itself may be due to the same vitamin deficiency. Chiefly vitamin B, but deficiency of other vitamins as well. Every expectant mother should have an ample allowance of vitamin B, vitamin © and vitamin D. If her physician falls to tell her how to insure getting enough vitamins, she should get them on her own. T have been trying to tell here, as many times as possible, how to get the essential vitamins. If you failed to hear me, I have a booklet “Bullding Vi- tality,” or another “Preparing for Maternity” which will give you the gist of it, if you have a dime and a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress. ‘The prospective mother probably requires four times as much vitamin B as she ordinarily must have.

Is there any cure for myopia or any exercises or other way to strengthen the eyes so one can dispense with glasses? (Miss K. A. P.)
