Indeed, I believe
the more you fool
with such mean
ingless terms the
better It will be
for my business
aa a health com
mentator and In
the long run for
the business of
all real doctors
In practice. "Ner

It may be all right to finagle the

It Is a foolhardy thing to ascribe your

Oout, like rabies In man, Is fa

diagnostic precision and skill Im

A formal report of a case of al
leged gout appeared In the bulletin
of an eastern county medical society
three or four years ago. The doctor
reporting the case just "pronounced'
it gout. From all the scientific evl
dence educed to sustain . the diag
nosis I think it might as well have
been called a case of endemic hokum,
According to the great doctors of
the last century, gout was caused by
accumulation In the blood or deposit
m the tissues of uric acid or salts
of uric acid. Especially deposits of
mono-sodium -urate In the tissues
about Joints, particularly the great
toe Joint. This theory, however, was
conceived In the days before chem
istry in medicine. Today wo know
that the blood of a healthy person
contains a certain amount of uric
acid; and that the amount of urlo
acid In the blood is Increased some
what In numerous diseases In which
1 the metabolism rate or oxidation rate
Is lowered. Chalky deposits (of
mono-sodium -urate) are commonly
found In the tissues of persona who
have never had an ailment that can
possibly purport to be gout. No one
today seriously maintains that ex
cess uric acid or any of Its salts ac
counts for any particular malady, ex

who hold their nice old-fashioned

QUESTIONS And answers
One Vote for Dr. Webster.
Aa the mother of three husky acro
bats and trainer of many more, I
protest against your Inslstnce that
Webster's dictionary Is wrong about
somersaults. You look silly trying to
correct Webster's somersaults Into
"air springs." What you call somer
saults are properly called "roll-overs."
(H. O. F.) . .
Answer Thank you. If you can
persuade Webster to adopt the term
"roll-over" It will be satisfactory to
me. At present Webster recognizes
only rotation of the body in the lat
eral plane aa a roll, and that will
not do. In the somersault I recom
mend you Just curl up and roll like
a wheel.
Pellagra. -
Will say I am one of the few cases
of pellagra In this area. Any sug
gestions you might give will be great

Answer Unquestionably there are
thousands of mild cases everywhere,
and most of them dabble with vari
ous remedies of their own choosing
without benefit of medical advice.

FISCAL PROGRAM
IS PLANNED BY D. A. V.;
CHAPTER ENROLLS 13
Military experts Interpret these ax
ioms in terms of the situation at
Shanghai this way;
The Chinese are in possession. The
other points that favor them are
numbers, they have about 100,000
troops, at least 60.000 well-trained
regulars., they have lines of com
munlcation in their own territory,
and they have a favorable terrain.
The Japanese offensive has been
limited chiefly to warships, which,
however, are not of great value since
their munition la limited to what
they can carry. Naval guns are mado
to pierce armor plate, not to "blow
men out of the ground," which the
World war taught was step number
one.
Until Japanese troops were landed
on Monday at the mouth of the Yang
tze, the Japanese force at Shanghai
was chiefly made up of bluejackets
and marines landed from the wor
ships. These landing parties are not
as well equipped, organized or com
plete as an army unit such as the
Chinese have In the area.
While the added effectives tend to
move the scale in favor of the at
tackers, there Is still the problem of
dislodging the defense. Military ex
perts believe that, as In the World
war, this will have to be accomplish-1
ed by a double flanking movement,
with two Japanese armies fprmlng a
pincers that will squeeze the Chinese
out of the port area.
This strategy, however, will be dif
ficult. The terrain la- unfavorable
There are some roads around the
Shanghai area, but Idaho looks like
a network of highways compared to
China. Once forced off the roads,
troops find the land criss-crossed
with streams and canals. Men can
wade or swim them, but artillery
doesn't float. It would' be a simple
matter for the Chinese to sink boats
In the river and atop entrance of the
Japanese troop ships.
Hence, the predictions of a long
war, although there are always the
"Improbables." One Is the danger of
a successful "barrage of gold," which
might lure away Chinese leaders, as
it has often in the past. Fate of the
"heart of china," as Shanghai has
boen called, depend chiefly on the
hearts of Its defenders.

A night fire struck the Ingham Lumber Company mill at Glendale, Ore.,
and caused an estimated loss of $250,000 before being brought under con
trol. Here is the fire at Its height.
Strangest of all for the military
mind to comprehend Is why Japan
started this thing as she did, with
warships, when in 1932 they failed
at the very same Job.
One explanation is suggested:
The army and the navy in Japan
are controlled by two hereditary
clans whose rivalry goes back to the
days of the Samurat. The army won
Manchuria for the Mikado. The re-1
cent advance In northern China was
accomplished with little opposition. I

In seeking changes In the Judiciary.
Technicalities t'sed
"We have wanted to bring to an
end," he said, "a trying period during
which It has seemed that a veritable
conspiracy existed on the part of
many of the most gifted members of
the legal profession to take advan
tage of the technicalities of the law
and the conservatism of the courts
to render measures of social and
economic reform sterile or abortive."
He added that "because represen
tative government, in order to suc
ceed, must act through the processes
of law, It la necessary for It to
attain a high degree of cooperation
among Ita three coordinate branches."
Enumerating what he considered
benefits of the lower court bill Mr.
Roosevelt said one of Its principal
provisions was that "the attorney
general shall be given notice of con
stitutional questions Involved In pri
vate litigation and accords the gov
ernment the right to defend the
constitutionality of the law of the
land."
"No longer." he added, "must the
government stand Idly by, a helpleas
spectator, while acts of congress are
stricken down by the courts."
Appeuls Speeded
He listed these other accomplish
ments for the bill:
It speeds appeals to the supreme
court.
It checks the Injunctive power of
lower courts.
It "tends slightly to relax" the
present system of assigning Judges
within circuits to congested areas.
On tho side of the "omission" the
chief executive named these things
as not being done by the bill.
"It provides," he said, "no Increase
In the personnel of the lower courts
an Increase confessedly necessary.
"It provides no effective means of
ssslgnlng district Judges to pressure
areaa. ,
"It seta up no flexible machinery,
with methods of administration
readily adaptable to needs as they
arise.
"It leaves untouched the crowded
condition of the dockets In our lower
courts.
