France Adopts a Lottery
TPHE New York city papers
that France should promote a national lottery to help pay
operating expenses. Such action, it is claimed, is a sure sign
of "moral decline." It is sanctioning and encouraging the vice
of gambling, which in the field
hill.
Rather amusing! It is perfectly proper to legalize betting
on the stock exchange, at the
practically every field of business and sport.v-where the profits
all go to a few insiders but it is wrong and wicked for a
government to legalize the same thing, for the benefit of the
public treasury which in the
the people.
XE fail to see it. France
" which by the way has already been a great success, is
as usual neither moral nor immoral ethics have no place in
French politics, it is merely REALISTIC. It is meeting an
unusual situation in a practical way, capitalizing the inherent
gambling instinct to reduce the overwhelming tax burden.
A ND it works. Long queues waited all night to buy tickets
" when the booths opened. Each person knew the chance
to win a fortune was slight. But there was that CHANCE,
the percentage had been announced in advance, and the percen
tage for the "house", or the government, was also known.
There was no doubt that the lottery was on the square.
Out of the millions participating perhaps five or ten would
be fixed for life, the others would lose, but they would get a
thrill out of seeing their more fortunate associates win, and
their losses would eventually help the public treasury and there
fore help the country as a whole.
Gambling may be a vice. But if so, few human activities
are free from it. Every business is more or less a gamble. So
is life itself. "We hold no brief for lotteries, it is probably
true that public opinion in this country would never sanction
them.
But that doesn't make them wicked at least any more
wicked than other forms of recognized gambling and it cer
tainly doesn't justify newspapers who devote three and four
pages to stock market and race track information, in righteously
raising their eyebrows, at the national lottery in France.
N fact the attitude of France in this matter, is one secret of
its diplomatic and international success. It is always clear
headed, logical, free from sentimentality, and romantic specula
tion. With cool intellectual calculation it separates the wheat
from the ohaff, sees what it wants and proceeds to get it.-
With the world as it is, it would be well, if the Anglo-Saxon
countries would take a leaf from the French book, and cease
hiding their heads, ostrich-like, in the sands of make-believe and
illusion.
We Have No Subsidies
TNGLE SAM is opposed to lotteries. Even a newspaper that
prints a raffle at a church fair, is excluded from the U. S.
mails. Uncle Sam is also opposed to ship subsidies, and unless
we are greatly mistaken, both political parties, certainly the
democratic party regularly condemns such a practice.
But what ACTUALLY occurs f What is going on, under a
democratic administration at the present time!
Instead of the government granting ship subsidies, it grants
U. S. mail contracts.
The senate investigating committee finds that in the case
of one company, the Export Steamship, this corporation received
over $26,000,000 in four years from the national treasury for
carrying mail ! That whs the excuse, but little mail was carried.
In 1929 it carried exactly three pounds, at a cost of $233,000 a
pound; in 1930 the cost was reduced to $115,000 a pound, for
ONE pound; in 1931 it transported 8 pounds at $125,820 per
pound.
A ND yet we have no ship subsidies I Ship subsidies are
"immoral". But one company alone is richer by $27,000,
000 in four years, and there are 50 more yet to investigate!
while the American tax payers pay the bill!
Yet France is morally a back-slider because it conducts a
national lottery!
Aye verily, what hypocritical ostriches we mortals be !
We Have
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT announces that the government
will directly aid the hungry and the idle in this country
during the coming winter. This is a reversal of the Hoover
policy which was to give no aid directly, but to make the various
localities do their own charity work, while the government
indirectly assisted in credit inflation, publio works, etc, etc.
The Roosevelt administration will buy up and distribute
bread, meat, milk and clothing, distribution being in proportion
to the size of the local charity fund.
IN OTHER WORDS, BRETHREN, WE HAVE THE DOLE.
Wo won't call it that. My, no I The "dole" is a British inven
tion, and ruined that oountry, by building up an idle, sponging,
mendicant class. No dole for this land of the free and home of
the brave. We will never give away either money or what
money will buy. We will only give WORK!
Noflj a Frenchman, would rise to inquire WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE t John Bull distributes $200,000,000 to men out
of work, with which they buy clothing and food; Uncle Sam
takes the samo amount, buys the clothes and food himself and
distributes THAT, to the people.
Well there's a great difference, one is the "dole", the other
is merely "relief 1"
And we will stick to it too, just as we will stick to the fact
we have no ship subsidies, but 'only MAIL CONTRACTS, and
no lotteries, but only LEGALIZED BETTING in stocks, on horse
races, dog races and other legitimate, righteous and non-speculative,
indoor and outdoor sports.
How we love to kid ourselves with words, JUST WORDS!

Hookworm disease has prevailed

If less than a hundred worms, It is a

The chief symptom produced by
hookform infestation is anemia. The
worms constantly suck blood from
the intestinal wall, and even if each
worm takes only a drop of blood a
day, that would amount to a few
ounces of blood dally. Such a drain
inevitably causes lassitude, pa'.or

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THERE has bMQ lot of talk about
the accumulated surplus of wheat j
In the United States.
All this talk raises this question In
our minds: Why la there a surplus of
wheat? Is It because we have been
growing too much?
Apparently not. Instead of grow
Ing too much wheat, we seem to have ;
been EATING TOO LITTLE. 1
BEFORB the war, 'we-conaumed five
and two-flftha bushels of wheat 1
per person pe' Jmt ln tnl country.
We now consume only four and one-;
fifth bushels.
Multiply this difference of one and
one-fifth bushels by 136 million per
sons and you wlU get a pretty fair
Idea aa to why wheat has been accu
mulating. M
WHAT started this drop ln wheat
consumption?
Well, the answer to that question
seems to be: "The war." During
the war we were pleaded with to save
wheat for the fighting men. We didn't
like It particularly. We wanted our
bread, our cake, our pie, our apa
ghettl, our doughnut, all our accus
tomed foods In which wheat la the
largest Ingredient.
But In time we got used to doing
without them, and we Hem to have
STATED used to It. At any rate, our
per capita consumption of wheat has
dropped sharply.
M
THEN along came the fad for alen
derness, and million of women
began to mark off their diet Hsu the
foods that Incline toward plumpness.
Bread U one of these foods.
Even the men began to blush for
their bay windows and yearn tor the
slender-hipped outlines of the movie
Idols. So they too began to cut down
on the number of slices of bread per
meal.
All of which meant reduced con
sumption of wheat. i

soil the eggs hatch into larvae. In a
few weeks the larvae are well enougn
developed to attach themselves to the
skin of the feet, If anyone goes bare
foot. Especially the soft skin between
the toes. They penetrate the skin
there the irritation they cause is
called "ground itch" or "dew Itch"
and enter through . the lymphatic
channels Into the blood stream and
are carried to the lungs. They pierce
the walls of the air cells In the lungs
and pass up the bronchi to the throat,
when they are swallowed and so fi
nally reach the duodenum, where they
lodge.
Poulbly the larvae are sometimes
taken Into the body directly in drink
ing water or from soiled fingers or
from contaminated food. But prac
tically the mode of entrance is as
described via the "ground itch."
Moral: Never go barefoot in hook
worm country.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWKRS
Cretinism.
Please explain what a "cretin" is
Will a child who has had a hemor
rhage of the brain at birth ever walk?
What is the highest stage of devel
opment such a child- can reach?
Mrs. B. C
Answer A cretin is a person with
congenital deficiency of the thyroid
gland. By thyroid feeding or medica
tion such an Individual may be made
to grow and develop mentally and
physically. It has nothing to do with
hemorrhage in the brain at birth.
Milk, Plain and Fancy.
Son has been drinking two quarts
of milk dally . . . some -one has ad
vised him to drink one quart of plain
mltk and one quart of acidophilus
milk, but acidophilus milk costs 40
cents a quart . . . M. R S
Answer In my opinion plain milk.
or ordinary buttermilk, or simple
soured milk, is as efficient in every
way as Is Bulgarian or Acidophilus
or any other fancy fermented or
soured milk product. But if I were
your son's physician I'd advise him to
keep on taking the milk and not
mind what "Someone" advises.
The Old Methylene Blue Trick.
The company offers to send
heel plates, one of copper to be worn
on one heel, another of zinc on the
other heel, also a supply of rheuma
tism tablets all for $3.50, with a guar
antee to drive all rheumatic poison
. . . C. J.
Answer The tablets probably con
tain some methylene blue which
stains the urine blue. Many gullible
persons have been persuaded such a
phenomenon indicated "poison being
driven out of the system " It is an
oldhumbug bus it still separates the
suckers from the money.

Zf the stream running In at the
top la the same size as the stream
running out at the bottom, the level
of the water In the can will remain
stationary.
If the stream running in at the top
Is larger, the can will fill up and run
over. If the stream running out at
the bottom Is larger, the can will be
come empty.
NOW note this:
You can cause the can to fill
up and run over either by INCREAS
ING the size of the stream running
in at the top or by DECREASING the
stream running out at the bottom.
You can cause it to become empty by
decreasing the stream running In or
by ENLARGING THE HOLE In the
bottom.
In the case of the wheat bins, we
have apparently decreased the hole
In the bottom, so that less wheat
runs out.
WHAT to do about It?
Well, ler us look at a compar
able case. When the end of the war
came along, the Du Ponts, smart
chemical people, found themselves
with vast stocks of nitro-cellulose on
hand, out of which they had been
making explosives, but with no longer
any demand for explosives.
That is to say they were in about
tlie tame fix the wheat growers are
in now.
WHAT did the DuPonta do about
it? Did they sit down and cry?
They DID NOT. They Invented cel
lophane, which is made from cellu
lose, the same as high explosives.
Then they ADVERTISED cellophane
so attractively as to make everybody
in the world want it, and In a tittle
while their vast stocks of nitro-cellu-lose
were USED UP.
T' HE business ofadvertlsing is to
make people WANT THINGS.
If wheat and the foods made from
wheat were advertised as extensively
and as attractively as cellophane was
advertised, the chances are that so
many people would WANT these foods
that the surplus of wheat would soon
disappear.
Advertising, you see, offers the way
to ENLARGE THE HOLE In the bot
tom of the can.
WHEN will prosperity come back?
Why. when people begin to
WANT THINGS in vast quantities
again, of course. When people begin
to want things in vast quantities,
they will find a way to get them, in
some way or other, and when they be
gin to GET these things they want
the factories will hum again and
there will be Jobs for everybody.
Then prosperity will be with us
again.
ADVERTISING tnakes people want
things. So, you see, advertising.
If properly used, will be the biggest
of all factors -in bringing back pros
