FOOD AND HEALTH Popular ideas about food are a stronge admixture of truth and fiction, according j | ity on diet. Particularly is this the case with respect to notions of what is good for j ing circumstances. the bananas are ripe and the nuts most easily digestible of foods. The prejudice against raw foods is al- iso unwarranted it is said. Raw corn, wheat and other starches in amounts are completely digested, | raw potatoes are 78 per cent The craving of some children while for raw extent without harm, and the same is true of raw cabbage and lettuce. thought to be harmful to the digestion, but for normal pe to be beneficial i lows of solid food. Forcing children to eat spinach other foods which they do not like is not ipped in between swal which they experience hinders digestion. While the doctor does not s so so many words, it appears that a rather safe rule of diet is to eat what one likes, provided it does not produce any disagree- able after effects. And regardless of ad- vice, that is what most of us insist on do- ing anyway. PHILIPPINE DEFENSE have Many Americans wondered, in lands independence, whether or not the Filipinos could maintain their freedom. General Douglas MacArthur, former Chiet of Staff of the United States Army, now military adviser to President Quezon, seems to be rather optimistic that the Philippines can be defended. The plans, according to General M Arthur, are that when the Philippines be- come an independent republic, after 1945, fifty to 100 small defense ships capable of moving fifty to sixty miles an hour, 400,- In one of the most startling upsets in history of the fighting game, Max meling showed the calibre to regain le world’s heavyweight championship by ving Joe Louis, the “brown bomber” a rrific lacing at the Yankee Stadium in New York last night.

It is probably the experience of most preachers that their congregations are di- vided into two classes—those who pray and those who pay—that those who pray won't pay—and those- who pay won't pray. Still this does not seem to be such a bad combination, those who pay will have the satisfaction of knowing that the material welfare of the church is being looked after; while those who pray | will, through their prayers, intercede for | those who pay, making it a 50-50 proposi- tion all-around. because After a half century of struggle, Key West is to get its bridge. Roosevelt has authorized a $4,300,000 loan by PWA to be used to Bus the abandoned FEC rail- way bridge and turn it into an auto toll road. This solves several problems and pleases everybody. The new Florida Senator Scott Loftin is co-receiver of the | FEC which gets much of the money. The announcement came just before election to give Congressman J. Mark Wilcox a boost. It allows the R. R. to gracefully abandon a white elephant; and it makes every Key | Wester deliriously happy.

In thirty years he added, there will be 1,- 200,000 army reserves. General MacArthur said that if the is- lands followed the general defense plan “the Philippines can rest in perfect se-} curity. ‘It would take 500,000 men, $10,- 000,000,000, tremendous casualties and! three years’ time successfully to invade the Philippines,” he added. CANCER NOT INHERITED After experiment with 52,000 rats, during a period of 12 years, the Institute of Cancer Research announces the definite conclusion that cancer is never inherited. An announcement by the Institute says: “Cancer is a terrible disease, not only because it brings pain and death, but also because it inspires an immense amount of worry in a great many people who are never going to suffer from it physically. “It is the people who have seen can- attack some member of their family It appears from the research done that can. cer does not start unless there is an irrita- tion present. The germ cells which are in- herited from parents do carry liability to cancer. cer who worry the most and without cause. not “The main benefit derived from og study is that it removes the fatalistic titude developed toward the disease. that attitude which keeps many away from the doctor during the early stages of the cancer growth, when through an early examination and treatment a life might often be saved.” at-| FOUR THINGS THAT ARE GOOD The Apostle Paul told the alonians to “probe all things” “bold fast to that which is good.” Commander William M. Thomas, chaplain at the Naval Academy, in his ser- | mon to the graduating class, recently point-! ed out that many wise and good men bear testimony that there are things which “are } undeniably good’”’ and suggested “four! anchors” to the future naval officers. What were the four things that are good? Said he: “Life, Work, Moral Character and God.’ Of the last, said Chaplaih Thomas, “Every man has the right to define Him in his own terms.” Thes- and to to a recent article by Dr. Lieb, an author- ! people, or not good for them, under vary-!

In certain instances | it has actually entered into competi- tion with pri- vate enterprise. Intelligent per- sons hold op- Posing views as to the wis- dom of these policies, but all intelligent per- sons must agree that the. government can not hope to regulate busi- ness success- fully. tet alone engage in it on its own ac- count, unless the federal officials and employees are | selected on the basis of their fitness for the task, and unless they enjoy such security of tenure as is required to build up and maintain a compe- tent staff. This is the policy that would naturally be followed by an administration that was interested in the successful conduct of the affairs | of the government, rather than wn- terested in its retentign in office The fact is, however, that political considerations are now controlling in the selection of officials and employ- ees; the spoils system is frankly fol- lowed. Some 235,000 persons nave been added to the full-time payroll of the Federal Government during the past three years, not including those in the army, navy. CCC. and on the rolls of the relief agencies. Less than 1% of these are under Civil Service. Not only are the new employees seldom sel@ted under Civil Service rules, but a number of the former employees have lost, through one de- vice or another, their Civil Service standing. Thus there were fewer classified positions subject to Civil Service regulations on June 30, 1935. than there were three The present administration Nation’s Affairs a Public Trust By ELIOT JONES Professor of Transportation and Public Utilities Stanford University Service Commission was created in | 1883 to reduce the percentage of fed- eral personnel under the Civil Serv- ice. In 1884 only 10% of the personnel was under Civil Service. From that date until 1933 every President, whether Democratic or Republican, extended the scope of the Civil Serv- | ice Law by executive order. As a ree sult the proportion under Civil Serv- ice was increased under President Theodore Roosevelt to more than 50%, under President Wilson to 67%, under President Coolidge to 75%, and under President Hoover to 81%. But by June 30, 1935, the figure had de- clined to 57%. Those disposed to justify this vio- lation of the civil service principle say that there was not time in the Emergency of 1933 to establish civil service routines. This argument loses all its force when it is recalled that during the first year of the War, un- der President Wilson, the number of classified competitive positions in the Federal executive service increased by 315.533, or almost double the pre- vious number. This shows what it is possible to do when there is a sincere desire to observe the merit pcinciple. A distinguished Democrat—John C. Calhoun—said more than one hun- dred years ago: “The very essence of a free government consists in consid- ering offices as public trusts, be- stowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an indi- vidual or a party.” The contrary view 1s that of An- | drew Jackson, who as President dur- | ing that period believed that “to the victors belong the spoils.” At the present time, unfortunately, _ the Jacksonian theory is in the as- cendant. We thus have the anomalous situation of an administration com- mitted to a wide extension of gov- ernmental authority, which is said to be necessary to protect the public welfare, and which at the same time selects its staff on the basis of po- litical considerations, resort to which renders doubtful, to say the least, the success of its program for recon- first one since the United States KEY WEST IN — | DAYS GONE BY | Happenings Here Just 10 Years H Ago Today As Taken From i he Files Of The Citizen | John Guiffin, ber, is Fie confined to- illness, and his many friends wishing for him a speedy re- covery sireet home ty are The paraphernal'a and costumes jt» be used in conne-tion with the i Se entins to be given next week at the Coral Isle Casino by jth e Order DeMo have ed ; Th y are very pretty and repre- dsent the atest in design for uch creatic dane arvi ry Friends of County ?Gunn are v learn that nicely at Dr outh Judge Hugh 'y much pleased to he is along Miller’s infirmary in onvi This wel- jcome news was received over Hong distance telephone this morn- Ing. getting — 1 “Morning, Noon and Night” is/| {the name of the beautiful j which is to L taged W jof next week by the pupils of jMrs. ah Wilson.
