R. Talbert, a resident physician. "The report on the beneficial results of the present water system Jry Talbr-rt was that a series of mouth and teeth testa, conducted on in hool children over a period of eight years, had proved that during The time the children were using soft water their teeth and general jtealth was bad in three out of four cases. Since using hard water from wells the general tone of child health has improved, and the ratio of bad teeth and health cases has dropped to one out of six." "Like th? water formerly in use in Boaverton Bends water iswoft. Indeed, it is unusually soft. It is so free from mineral cofitent that it is used in automobile batteries without dis tillation. In other words the local water, in the matter of niiucrals, is like distilled water. It has' none. ;Now this is all very well for batteries but not so good for hiunans as is suggested by the Beaverton experience. Certain mflierals are essential for proper growth, calcium being one ofthe most important. The growing child is supposed to get calcium from the milk he drinks but if there is no calcium in the1 food of the cow none goes into the milk. Iodine is an essen tial for the avoidance of goiter. There are neither calcium nor iofjine in the local water, nor other important minerals. -Many families know these fact and provide for the condi ticjis associated with them by special care with their food and especially that for their children. Many families do not know the facts and have not the means of arrange the special diets necessary. There is a public resjionsibility here that should btwnet. - With this Beaverton story in mind one wonders if it is not possible to introduce into our water supply the minerals nec esSary to proper growth. That might be hard on the batteries bul it certainly would be beneficial for the children. Chlorine is2idded at times to destroy bacteria. Why not add minerals tojbfjild bodies? r: COLORADO RECOMMENDS "For 1940 the Colorado state chamber of commerce adopt ed statement of policy containing the following with respect torfcderal affairs : om. We reiterate our belief that the portion of the unemployment problem which still remains can be solved only by the full restoration Trf enterprise. This can be accomplished through re-establishment of confidence of business men. manufacturers and investors in the finan .cial future of the nation and the stability of its institutions. As steps to 'this end, we urge upon the national government the following: "1. Reduce its public works program to those projects which when .completed will be permanent public assets. . "2. Withdraw as rapidly as possible from all activities conducted under emergency legislation. "3. Liquidate or dispose of many governmental activities which compete with trade or industries conducted by its taxpayers. "4. Eliminate all unnecessary boards, bureaus, commissions, and ad ministrations, and. within the limitations of efficiency, reduce the per waennel of those it may be necessary to retain. "5. Balance the national budget by effecting economies in govern ment and by a revision of the tax laws in accordance with sound prin ciples of public finance and with an equitable distribution of the tax burden. - "6. We urge throughout the nation, that state and local authorities curtail their requests for Federal financial aid." Let it be noted that the foregoing is not a statement of policy prepared by partisan politicians. Republicans undoubt edly helped to prepare it and so did Democrats. " The failure of the New deal to pay attention to such recom mendations as those by the Colorado chamber is one of the reasons for its record of failure. And speaking of the pure politics that the Hatch act is intended to promote how about those Democratic campaign books sold at high prices and in large quantities to corpora tions forbidden to make political contributions? For a brazen disregard of law and ethics that little stunt of Headman fSrlcy took the cake when it was invented and this year ft is ttr be repeated.

Catton's Washington Column By Bruce Cation t N t A Service Staff Writer) Washington A fight over how much protection labor ought to get when railroads are merged is the chief thing delaying the omnibus transportation bill the big "reform" the railroads want so badly. A senate-house committee is weld ing together the senate's Wheeler bill and the house's Lea bill. Basically they are much the same; what the railroads like is that they put water carriers under the interstate com merce commission. Big difference is what they say about mergers. The Wheeler bill simply says that in mergers there must be "a fair and equitable arrangement" for labor, the I. C. C. to be the judge; the Lea bill flatly forbids any merger that would reduce employment or cut workers' pay. The railroads naturally want the former clause. It hs been okayed by all the railroad brotherhoods ex cept the trainmen's. The latter found an ally in Congressman Harrington of Iowa, who got the clause they, like into the Lea bill and is now keeping it there by a novel parliamentary maneuver. Harrington circulated a petition demanding that the committee keep his clause in the bill and got 275 congressmen to sign it. COMMITTEE PLUGS LOOPHOLE DRAFT When the Smith commit tee was drafting its bill to change the Wag ner act and the labor board, lots of model amendments covering differ ent points were submitted by organi zations anxious, to have the law modified. The committee threw out all samples and used its own lan guage except. in the cnc of the "free speech" amendment, where it used the one. the A. F. of L. had handed in. 'It was too drastic even for us old conservatives, though, and we had to tone it down," says Congressman Smith. 'It didn't give labor enough protection. The way the A. F. of L. wrote it, it would be lawful for an employer to talk with his workers about unionization provided the talk wasn't accompanied by an 'act of discrimination.' "You could drive a horse through that. Why, under it, an employer could call in a worker and say, 'Bill Jones, you've worked for me 20 years; but you old so-and-so, if you join the union I'll fire you' and the law couldn't have touched him. So after the words, 4act of discrimina tion,' wo added, 'or intimidation or coercion.'

It i com municable from hogs to people, but only after the hogs have been killed and the pork or pork products eaten uncooked or undercooked, except in the case of products processed under federal meat regulations. The animal parasite, trichinella spiralis, which causes this disease occurs in the muscles of infested hogs. When the flesh of the hog is eaten without sufficient cooking to kill the para sites, the latter develop in the body of the consumer and cause the dis ease. l "The symptoms of trichinosis are 'often vague and easily confused with other conditions, and it is cer tain that many caes occur without ever being recognized. However, pains in the muscles of different parts of the body, with puffiness of the face and eyelids, more or less severe digestive disturbance, and weakness, should lead a doctor to suspect this disease, especially ii the patient has recently eaten raw or in sufficiently cooked pork. If then the doctor examines the blood micro scopically, as is so cornmoply done to ass lit lite diagnosis of many diseases, he will be very unlikely to find the parasites. They are seldom there in large numbers or for a long time. But he will be quite likely to detect eosinophilia. which for some reason often occurs in cases of trichinosis. This should make him still more sus picious. Eosinophil cells are a variety of white blood corpuscles, which are present in only a small percentage in normal blood, but are greatly in creased in numbers in cases of tri chinosis and some other conditions. "Sometimes, as in the country, where the carcasses of farm-killed hogs are kept for some time during the winter it is possible to examine some of the remaining meat, and find the para-sites m it. Another way to identify the disease fa to snip out a tinv portion of the painful muscles of the patient, and examine that un der the microscope, fortunately, we now have other tests, recently im proved, which make the diagnosis How To Lose Fat and Get More Youthful Feeling If you are overweight, try this easy, sensible way to take off fat.

Ur ana it Thrift niM urur lo th at congress will decide soon to do .something about modifying the wage and hour law as it affects Puerto Rico. The house has before it the senate passed King bill, under which .special industry committees would be set up to find out what Puerto ftican wage mimmums ought to be. The bill is okay by the wage and hour people, but every time an effort is made to pass it, it gets tagged with broad amendments exempting big labor groups on the mainland, which the wage and hour folks won't stand for. Result, so far, ts no action at all. Meanwhile the situation on the is land is bad. Aside from sugar, the big industry is needlework, with IK). -000 workers getting about 10 cents an hour. The jump to the legal level of 0 cents just i&n't being made, and the wage and hour division isn't prosecuting, realizing the jump is too big and figuring the law will present ly be modified. almost certain. One consists of inject- ' ing a small amount of trichina anti- 1 gen into the kin and looking for a red reaction: the other is a nrecipitin test performed with a small amount of the patient's serum placed in con tact with the antigen. 'Trichinosis may be quite a nuld condition, but many cases are severe and some are fatal. Unfortunately, a very consider able proportion of hogs in this coun try have the trichinella in their bodies, and the only safe rule to avoid the disease is always to cook pork very thoroughly before eating it. noasts or other thick cuts should be cooked for at lcat a half hour for each pound of meat, and in any case until the flesh becomes while, not pink. Pork sausages and other prod- ' ucts are sometimes eaten without i cooking, such as in sandwich fillers. I This is a dangerous practice unless thoMi orodurtj. have been insncctcd and passed by tltc bureau of auimal j industry or other approved agency. The trichincUa is an interesting ( little round worm, which is seldom seen in the adult stage since it is i hidden in the mucous membrane of j the intestine. The larvae are pro-' duced in large numbers in the in testine. From there they are carried all over the body by the blood. Trichinella arc too small to be seen by the naked eye. But when they arrive in the muscles they coil up into a spiral and become covered with a sort of capsule, forming a so-called 'cyst.' The 'cyst' may be as much as one-fiftieth of an inch knj. and is barely visible. Under even a low power micoscupe cysts are read ily seen in bits of mtiacle which have been flattened out between two glass slides. They look like small trans parent lemons, each containing a coiled-up spring. MHogs most commonly become in fested with trichinae through a kind of involuntary cannibalism. That is, they are fed on garbage which con tains among other things, scraps of uncooked pork or other parts of slaughtered hogs. This is all very nice for the trichinellac, which are thus assured of comfortable homes , for their children and grandchildren, I but it is bad for the hogs and for the ! people who eat undercooked pork. This could all be prevented by cook ing the garbage before feeding it to the hogs. "The government efforts to pre vent trichinosis by inspection arc necessarily very limited. Pork, which is customarily cooked, is not imped ed nor subjected to any process to kill trichinae. Some of the pork prod ucts which are frequently eaten without cooking, such as the dry summer sausages, are subjected to processing to make them safe. Only such products as hear the govern ment stamp of approval (or that of some other acceptable agency), may be safely eaten without cooking. "The prevention of trichinosis hi hogs can be slowly effected by mak ing and enforcing regulations to pre vent the feeding of thesr animals with uncooked sarbage, but it will apparently be a long time before this j uh generally aconipltshed. In the meantime, the prevention of the dis- ease among people will remain large 1 ly a matter of individual precaution." u:stw -. 1 I JLoRK4 I. iVSvi -a'-.W Thu kulle ha ex clusive CahU-Kie VV ronslnirtion.
