Another Victory for Jim Mott
sTlARL H. JOHNSTON, president of the Prudential Sav
j ings and Loan association, was found guilty of larceny
in a Portland court this week. This is the second conviction
out of this Prudential fiasco. Like those obtained in the
Guardian group it was secured only after the culprits had
exhausted every possible scheme to avoid going to trial. The
Victory is a credit to James W. Mott, state corporation com-

missioner, ana nis assistants, iney nave Deen tne scourges
of the Lord" in cleaning up bad financial situations in the
state. Their vigilance is helping make the state safe for in
vestors and safe also for honest and legitimate enterprises.
" - Some may say Mott has carried on his activity for po
litical purposes, in order to support his political ambitions.
If so, we would say that is precisely the kind of service that
merits reward at the hands of the voters.
Mott is now candidate for congress from this district on
the republican tieket. He won the nomination fairly; in an
open fight. Mott represents quite a contrast from the older
veteran, W. C. Hawley, whom he displaced. He is younger,
radical, where Hawley is conservative; favors resubmission
of nrohibition-while Hawlpv has lrv.i hMn a Arv "Rnf tViof
M " - - w - w w V J Jk Va M VUV
contest is now a thing of the past, and Mott was selected as
standard bearer of the party.
The Statesman does not find itself in accord with many
of the ideas of Jim Mott. It is not that they are too radical,
but rather we do not think some of them are souiid for the
country, immediate payment of the bonus for" example. But
Mott has other qualities that will make him a powerful legis
lator. His record in the legislature of this state was brilliant.
Few in the lower house could offer such a list of legislative
accomplishments. He is a hard fighter, able in debate, pos
sesses a personality which commands attention.
We have watched him work in the corporation commis
sioner's office at close range. There he has certainly display
ed a devotion to the public interest that is highly commend
able. In that office the temptations are great; but Mott has
kept at his task with singleness of purpose, and the results
are now showing. It is this record, which with his record of
achievement in the legislature which earn for Jim Mott pro
motion to the national congress.
Swapping Horses
If the pilot has let us drift on the reefs and cannot in three
rears get as off, get a new pilot who understands the waters
and modern navigation. Capital Journal.
Right-o! Which disqualifies Frankie Roosevelt right off.
He certainly knows nothing of navigation, nothing of reefs,
nothing of ocean currents. All he knows is a few sandbars
in shallow streams.
t Frankie Roosevelt is quite a personable gentleman. He
is affable. He has a hearty laugh, good at shaking hands:
hail fellow indeed. But in the state of New York he has devel
oped nothing constructive or reconstructive. Most of the ideas
which he now advances he has secured since he became a
. candidate. They are not the projection of his policies as gov
ernor of New York state, for he did nothing there but sit in
the seat of his predecessor.
- Wall Street is in New York. Speculation headed up
, in New York. Farmers in New York are in distress the same
as elsewhere. He has had magnificent opportunity in his
ttate to solve its problems. One can't say he has failed; he
hasn't even attempted anything.
Yet this pleasant. haDDY-faced gentleman is the one
whom the Capital Journal picks as the new pilot, one whose
entire political life has been spent in soft weather and calm
seas!
There is the case of Senator Johnson, one of the spit
fire republicans casting oggle-eyes toward Frankie Roose

HEALTH
By Royal S. Copeland, M.D.
THE medical wont "acidosis'
is greatly abused, misunder
stood and misapplied. So
commonly is it used that the aver-
age person believes acidosis is a
common disor
der. Ia reality
it is rare, and
the possibility
of getting; it
should not cause
anxiety or
alarm.
, Frequently I
am asked what
foods produce
acidity and
what foods
should be taken
to prevent it.
Not so long ago
Dr.Copelaaa J-JJ-S
lag the "foods that encourage acid
ity and those that produce an alka
line reaction, bmce then I have re
ceived numerous requests concern
ing foods 1 did not include in either
list.
May I impress my readers with
the fact that if the diet is well bal
anced and contains abundant fruits
and vegetables, there ia no need to
wo rrv about acidity or acidosis.
Reai acidosis, may occur after a
sever operation. It may follow an
excessive loss of blood, as in a se
vere hemorrhage. It may be en
countered in cases of prolonged
starvation. In these cases the term
acidosis can be properly used.
When acidosis is present there is,
as the term indicates, too much
acid in the tissues of the body and
ia the blood. Severe acidosis is ex
tremely serious.
Tee Balaaced Diet
la the blood there is a definite
relationship between the normal
amounts of acid and alkaline sub
stances. It ia true that the diet can
influence the degree of acidity in
the body, but it does not necessarily
alter the reactiont)f the blood. Only
when fever has been present for a
long tune, or when an individual
has been suffering from a prolonged
organic disturbance, is there a defi
nite change ia the blood's reaction.
Contrary to common belief, most
acid foods, such as the citrus fruits,
actually, combat the tendency to
acidity. ' They help to keep the
blood -alkaline, and prevent the
urine from becoming add.
In the previous article I pointed
out that certain foods are known
as "base forming" foods. These tend
to reduce the amount of acidity in
the body. Among them are al
monds, apples, asparagus, bananas,
cabbage, milk, lemons, raisins, rad
ishes, potatoes and turnips. On the
contrary, bread, ens. fish. Darticu-
larly haddock and pike, aa well at
lean meat, chicken, pork. Teal, oat-,
meal, oysters, peanuts and rice are
included among the acid producing
foods.
Do not be confused by the term
acidosis. - There may be temporary
acidity, of course, but that ia not
very important, while real acidosis
is. - .
Remember that a safe diet is
one that contains a variety of foods,
such as fresh fruits, vegetables, ce
reals, cream, milk, butter and egg.
Bear ia mind, too. that true acidosis
Is rarer caused by diet. It la usu
ally occasioned by soma orgaaie dis
turbance of the body.
