To be consistent, Chicago will, dinance to include all lethal weapons, not overhokiiitf pieces of gas pipe, sticks of wood, coal shovels, iists. For when a person lias murder hi the heart, it is seldom dif ficult to find some medium of probable destruction. The purpose behind the Chieao tirdmaiave is iu doubt a laudable one. The increase of crime in the AVindy City is prodigious, and everything that will have a tendency to decrejise it, should have the support of all right-thinldn;; people. Uut we fear the deletion of firearms from the Chicago movies will not turn the rising curve on the chart at police headquarters downward. Criminal history has yet to produce evidence that homicide has ever been produced by the di'ama, spoken, written or pictoral. If this were true then Shakespeare, would probably have most of the crimes of two centuries to answer for. It is conceivable that a movie could be constructed to encourage crime, but the present procedure would, of course, have to be re versed. If crime should triumph, if the villain should win the iady, and the righteous hero, with hfc soulful eyes ami Jap-lac pompadour, should lose her, then one -might imagine a susceptible youth going out into the world and placing the villain. lint assuming the movie has a definite moral influence, and it probably has, then this influence mrist be to discourage crime rather than encourage it. For unless; we are much mistaken, a melodrama has yet to he put on the Hlrreeii, where, virtue doesn't triumph, and vice go down to defeat at the end, usually by a painful route, over a rocky precipice, or riddled by the heroes idiotgun. Xo. Crime comes not from without, hut from within. There are a thousand external factors, environment, health, poverty, edu cation, disappointment, hut the one determining factor is the char acter of the individual. And not the movie show, but heredity and the home determine that factor. QUILL New version : Full ninny u innii! Aniericii won't be unprepared with pistols.

M. D. Crltlcb-Hi of In an article entitled "Oohl Logic," printed here recently, I quoted the fol lowing from a folder distributed by a corporation wliich engages in the prac tice of hvglene through, extensive, ad vertising: -There Is little tlouot but that cer tain manifestations of the common cold Kueh as congestion in the head and running at the nose are purely physical reactions1 due to chilling of the body. Whether or not Much a condition passes over into an infective cold depends on the condition of the Individual, and proh- aoiy largely on the type of bacteria that are already present in the nasal cavltiea and throat." I ridiculed this theory by emphasiz ing the fact that the reactions refer red to are merely physical, not spir itual or mental as one miuhl nthnr- wimg have supposed, and by paging Houdlni to Investigate the mairie hv which the- "purely physical reaction" changes over to an Infectious disease or if Houdlni Isn't a valla hie. then asking Mrs. ('amp or lien Told how it Ih done. Ho far, u teacher of pathology In a medical college tells me. my criticism was fine. Lut he Is afraid I spoiled it by going loo far with my explana tion. Ami I am afmid the teacher is right, now that lie points out the flaw In my argument. Anyhow. I had bet ter try to explain my explanation. My article concluded with this re mark: t "To be sure, bnojerla are al most always present in the healthy person's nasal passages and the throat, sometimes virulent dis ease germs, virulent t'o guinea pigs or other animals, hut we have no ground for the assumption that such germs are virulent to the individual who carries them: on the contrary, there Is more reason to assume that such germs tend to Immunize the carrier." My pathologist critic avers that germs which are not virulent can scarcely confer immunity In any cir cumstances, and far be it from me to question the aceuracy of his knowledge about that. He says: "You had the game won and then you spoiled It by fumbling the bull at the last moment. It would have been sufficient, oh. quite, had you closed with the remark that we have no ground for the sug gestion that such germs are virulent to the Individual who carries them. The finish you put on that sdund ar gument amounts to something strange ly like an llibernici.sm. Which Is all too true, darn It. And what makes it worse still Is, I dare not try to blame It on the proof read ers, the editors or the printers this time. I done It by my own self al ready yet. j;ut anyway there was our dog and another dog. Here comes my explanation of the bull: Take as a type of bacteria often present In the tiasal passage or throat of healthy persons, the piieumueoceus. Although cultures from the nose or throat of any large group of people will show the pneumococeus present in the majority. It Is a nonvirulent strain on four tint of five cases. We know that virulent bacteria diminish in vir ulence or lose their virluence by pas sage through successive, animals or persons. Perhaps these nonvirulent strains of pneumoeoccl havo lost their virulence in that way and la process of losing It have conferred some de gree of Immunity upon the persons harboring them. The pneumococeus Is the gorrti that causes pneumonia and many cases of those common, res piratory infections which nonie folks call "colds." it I call crl. prenoune- ed kree. the word being built with the initial letters of common iyypa tory infections, ami conveying a true meaning, unlike the term "edds " , QlQ.sTlOX AX DAXnWKKS.

Lists of Foods Kequests for diet lists or diets for this and that, ailment come in con stantly and are as constantly unan swered for the simple reason that I know of no diet list or diet which is advisable, for any particular ailment Indiscriminately. Another constantly recurring ques tion is something like this: Please give a list of JU foods which contain protein, JU which contain fat, and 10 which contain carbohydrate, as I want to regulate my diet. . . .As 1 can see no advantage to health In any such monkeying with the diet, I furnish no laueh lists.

I am just as competent and willing and ready to prescribe medicines as 1 am to prescribe diet, exercise or any other kind of treatment or remedy here.
