The third weapon, Is permitting more

that Congressman Charles H. Martin, registered as a Repub

1929, and subsequently was elected to congress, as a representa

Because General Martin is

Most of us claim to be sick of cheap politicians, and profes

small minority can resist them. Theoretically we don't like self

those that make the most noise and hand out the biggest pro

This has always been true to some extent, but it is particu

Of course if six months hence, or even in two months, economic
conditions should materially improve, there might be a different

But while conditions are better compared with what they
were a year ago, they are VASTLY improved they are still

TUB INJECTION TREATMENT OF HERNIA
A reader sent a letter of thanks
to me for my recommendation of
the ambulant treatment of hernia.
He had received
the treatment
and was delight
ed with the re
sults. He men
tioned the name
of the doctor
who gave the
treatment. So I
asked the doctor
how come. Here
Is what the doc
tor says about It.
"Dear Dr. Brady:
... I becamo
interested in this form of treatment
in 1030, and strange as It may seem,
my Interest developed from reading
your articles In the paper. At that
time my brother-in-law, Mr. ,
wrote you and later my brother,
Mr. , attorney of . wrote
you also. When I found my rela
tives were finding out things about
hernia that I did not know I de
cided to look into the subject.
"My brother consulted Dr,
of and received several treat
ments In his office. I accompanied
him once or twice, and Dr. In
vited me to attend his hernia clinic
at the university where he and his
associate, Dr, have had remark
able success In the Injection treat
ment of hernia. At the time I was
attending the clinic Clinic sent
one of their stair to learn tne
method and It is my belief that this
man Is now using the method in
the Clinic." I
The doctor adds one detail which
seems worthy of mention. The solu
tion he uses, the solution they have
found most ' satisfactory in the
hernia clinic where he studied the
method, Is a very simple solution
which any doctor can readily pre
pare for himself. I warn both doc
tors and patients to beware of the
racket that certain upscrupulous In
terests are attempting to set up
marketing a semi -secret solution for
the Injection or hernia. Any doctor
who knows no better than to be so
exploited, or rather to permit his
patlerits to be so defrauded, does
not deserve publlo confidence. I am
ashamed to say that too many of
the brethren who have written me
concerning this method of treatment
have betrayed their incompetence by
mentioning that they have used some
such nostrum. The solution which
competent physicians use for the In
jection of hernia Is as cheap as dirt
and In no way complicated or diffi
cult to prepare or obtain. I do not
offer to tell anybody the recipe or

formula for this solution, because
I believe that It Is a minor matter,
and also I believe no physician Is
likely to succeed with this method
unless he sits at the feet of a mas
ter, as did our colleague, and learns
the technic from him. I am certain
that most failures are due to the
conceit of the doctor who thinks
he can go ahead and develop his
own technic without any instruction
from anybody. That same fatal con-
celt has defeated many a doctor who
has attempted to extirpate tonsils
with diathermy on the basis of "In
struction" given the poor galoot by
a glib salesman or other unqualified
instructor.

Sales Record Made Last Year
Attributing much of its unequalled marketing success in 1933 to
the power of newspaper advertising, General Petroleum Corporation
will practically double its newspaper space appropriation for its 1934
sales campaign, which gets under way Saturday, March 24, accord
ing to an announcement made today by W. B, Curtis, sales promotion
manager for the company.
Advising them to "get set for
our biggest selling year," Curtis
flashed word to this effect yester
day to the company's divisional
managers in Washington, Oregon,
northern and southern California
and Arizona. Curtis also notified
General's divisional heads that,
starting the 24th, the company's
advertising will ' break simultane
ously in 190 newspapers on the Pa
cific Coast in one of the most
comprehensive sales campaigns of
the company's history. Word has
been abroad for some time that
General intends to introduce an en
tirely new gasoline this spring, but
details regarding the product have
not yet been made public. It is
known, however, that every effort
will be made to better last year's
record, when public acceptance of
General gasoline was so phenom
enal that the company made a
greater increase in taxable gallon
age than any other major distribu
tor on the Pacific Coast.
Leads Competitors
In a statement accompanying
notification that the campaign is
about to be released, Curtis said:
"Last year was not noted for a
high degree of prosperity or for
heavy buying; yet, in spite of that
fact and the additional fact that
only three of the major gasoline
distributors on the Pacific Coast
showed gallonago increases in 1933
as compared with 1932, General
Petroleum topped the three by bet
ter than a four,-to -one gain. .We

. Sound thinkers tell us It is a
balanced state of exchange, wherein
all classes of the population exchange
what they produce, either goods or
services, for what OTHERS produce,
at a fair and even rate, so that no
body Is robbed In the process.

A LOT of people tell us:
"We can't have prosperity un
til wage are raised to the point where
wage earners have the money with
which to BUY."
Others, equally positive, tell us:
"We can't have prosperity until In
dustry is able to earn the profits with
Which to PAY HIGH WAGES."

are partly right and neither
wholly right. The return of prosperity
is a give and take process In which
both Industry and labor will have to
