Wanted,- the Facts E hope James Roosevelt does sue Alvin Johnson and the Saturday Evening Post for the former's story in this week's issue on James' career as an insurance salesman. For such legal action would undoubtedly bring out the facts, and we would like the facts. For a long time, the grape vine has reported that the President's oldest son capitalized his position in a Boston insurance firm selling insurance to important individuals and business concerns, with a promise direct or implied, that the larger the purchase, the better the chances of the purchaser enjoying favors from the White House. If that is true then James should be driven out of public life, and his license as an insurance operator revoked by the state of Massachusetts. For a young man who would do that, would steal sheep or filch money from the baby's bank. Such action, if it couldn't be classified as grand larceny, could be properly termed getting money under false pretenses And Boston Massachusetts has the Ponzi precedent to follow in a case like that. N the other hand if James can prove that he never made any such promises, direct or implied: that while it is probably true a great deal of insurance business came his way because of his position he did nothing to encourage that type of business, in fact, went out of his way to DISCOURAGE it then son James can be absolved from any wrong doing, or even moral callousness, and the alleged insurance scandal can be consigned to the ash can where it belongs. In this case, as in so many others concerning the present administration, we are quite sure there are thousands of people who fervently wish they could get the facts. They hear this, they hear that, this is denied something else is supported, they don't know what to believe and what not to believe, they wish there were some way of getting the TRUTH. A suit for libel against the Post should reveal the truth regarding this particular juicy morsel. We hope son James instructs his attorney to institute it. But somehow we have a hunch he won't I Thm PreKident's son. James, be sides $10,000 per year secretarial Job, garners from a250,000 to $2,000, 000 annually from his Insurance business, according to an article In the current BatEvePoat. It Is Inti mated that James Is cashing In on Papa's prominence, and. If he keeps up this lick, in six years ho wilt be one of the richest men In America. It Just shows what thrift and In dustry will do. If one Is bullheaded about It. . Cities throughout the state cele- hratlnK the Fourth of July have served notice the seats along the pa radfl line of march are for the old folks If they can beat the kids to them.

Take a pinch (Just a pinch) of hu mor, mix a perfunctory plea for the profit system and a few kind words for co-operation with a vicious gibe at the rich, add an attack upon the critics by pinning a new tag on them Ingeniously designed to tar them with utterly undeserved preju dice, dress the weak" spots In noble sentiments and throw the facta out the window it Is as easy aa that." . Packanack, N. J, yesterday held memorial seniors for Americans "who win be killed during the next four days celebrating their Inde pendence." There mill also be prayers for the expected victims of autos and firecrackers. It thus antici pated the engle will not do all the screaming on the nations natal day. f B.

TTIE Fourth of July falls on Monday this year . , . that means an extended week-end at the beach, in the mountains or mingling with carefree celebrating crowds. It will be a grand holiday for most everyone, from baby to granddad. Unfortunately, DEATH will NOT take a holiday if he follows his activities of previous Fourths of July. It's bis busy season 1 Shocking statistics show a steadily mounting death toll every year as a result or various torms ot ceieDrating juiy Fourth. It is an ironic fact that MORE Americans have died in CELEBRATING their independence than died in the war that gained it I Over 10,000 were killed in accidents last July, many of tjiem in Independence Day outings and jamborees. Isn't it time to combine SANITY with CELEBRATING? HIGHWAYS will be jammed this week-end; beaches and swimming pools will be crowded. CAUTION must take the place of CARELESSNESS if possible tragedy, suffering and sorrow are to be averted. - The National Safety Council has enlisted the active support of the President of the United States, every governor, every traffic official, every state and municipal official, in a nation wide offort to reduce these casualties for July and, other summer months. ' ET'S be ALIVE on the FIFTH." This startling slogan was selected by the Council as a means of bringing to public realization the need of care, common senso and courtesy on the highway, in the woods, on the benches this week-end. As a matter of self-interest and publio welfare, keep that slogan in mind I With war and discontent in countries surrounding this nation of ours, we HAVE plenty to be thankful for; CELE BRATING is certainly in" order but let's do it RIGHT ! So, observe the Fourth of July in good, old American fashion, BUT If yon are going to celebrate with fireworks, BE CAREFUL! Burns and wounds from firecrackers and other firewords are dangerous, often fatal I If you are going swimming, DON'T TAKE CHANCES I Over-exertion or swimming too soon after meals may bring tragedy to a happy outing! If you are goinK camping, BE CAREFUL OF FIRE! Forest fires are costly in life and property! If you are on the highway, DRIVE CAREFULLY! The other fellow is entitled to a bn-ak, so BE COURTEOUS at the wheel. If you want to drive, DON'T DRINK; if you must drink, DON'T DRIVE. Let's enjoy a glorious and SAFE Fourth of July this year . and let's" give DEATH a holiday, too! H. G. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P. signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped self addressed envelope Is enclosed Letters should be brief and written In ink Owing to the large number of letters received only a few can be answered No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brsdy, 283 El Csmlno. Ueierly llllli, Calif. MAYBE THE J (J DOB IB WRONG County Judge writes, and even If he were Justice of the Peace, I grown listen: "All the members of our family read your articles and I am sure we have b e n e f 1 tted by them. Old Ideas die hard, though. and I find It hard to accept your oft repeat ed state merits that nothing can get through the unbroken skin. One sum mer my brother and X, attending a little country school, caught the Itch. An old neighbor woman told our mother how to mix the lard and suipnur. snd Instructed her to give up a heaping teaspoonrul of sulphur in ternally, "to drive the Itch out to the surface." When we balked, the old woman said we could prove the sulphur comes out through the skin by shaking our socks over a hot stove 24 hours after taking the dose. We tried It out. and the pinpoints of burning sulphur proved the old lady's theory. Maybe you're right. I d now. Anyway the Judge's experiment was as welt controlled and as scien tific as the experiments of one David Z. Macht, M.D., who reported in the Jour. A. M. A., Feb. 5. 1938. that all sorts of medicines and poi sons are absorbed through the skin If one applies them with Just the proper turn of the wrist and so on. My skin Is still available for a show down on this question. But then. probably my hide Is tougher than guinea pig s. The Judge has me wrong however, do not deny that sulphur Is se creted through the skin when large amounts of sulphur or sulphides are taken Internally. Many substances are excreted, In part. In the sweat for instance Iodine, lead, mercury. Practically the amount of any drug or chemical or poison excreted In the sweat, la Insignificant In any circumstance, compared with the amount excreted via the Intestine, kidneys and lungs. What I do deny Is that any one has produced any scientific evidence to Indicate that any drug. food, chemical, poison or other substance Is absorbed through unbroken skin, no matter how It may be applied. The sulphur and lard treatment Is the best treatment for scabies, the old-fashioned itch, the seven year itch, or whatever fancy local name you please to call It. The suc cess of the treatment depends on (1) the perfection of the ointment the powdered sulphur, say two ounces of It, must be so thoroly rubbed with the pound of lard that no particle of sulphur can be seen or felt with the fingers; (3) the patient must be scrubbed with hot soap and water to within an Inch of his life scrubbed with a brush to the limit of endurance, then thoroughly dried, and (3) the oint ment well rubbed In and an excess left on the skin wherever the slight est Indication of the Itch is evl dent left on all night. Next mora lng (4) a bath, and a complete change of clothes and bedclothes and nighty and everything, for otherwise reinfection Is almost certain to oc cur. The old woman's notion that the sulphur taken internally would drive the Itch out to the surface was an old woman's notion. The Itch never goes below the surface the itch mites find the pickings entirely rat is factory on the surface. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Milk Diet When a heart disease patient Is put on milk diet is there any limit to the quantity of milk he can take? Is there a special milk diet for heart disease? A. M. B. Answer I know of none. The Ka rell diet, sometimes used In cases of dropsy from heart disease, is exclusive diet of skim milk, but this Is not often used today. A patient on a milk diet should have specific instructions from the doctor as to the quantity of milk to be taken.

What he says about world affairs is always interesting. Here is some thing of special interest to Americans. . Interviewed by S. L. A. Marshall for the North American Newspaper Alliance, and ask.d what would happen in case of another general war, if the I nited States stayed clear of it and was not involved in revolution, he replied: "It may alter the map of North America. But I repeat what I wrote 15 years ago, and today feel more strongly than ever in that event, the Tnited States will become the absolute eccuoniio master of this planet. There is the main chance ahead of you that Europe's tragedy mav mean America's fortune. If the United States can avoid the next great war, it will know more power and prosperity than it has ever known. It will dictate the building of a new world economy." That is complimentary and reassuring, and should strengthen the determination of all influential Americans to keep out of the next big war. Yet many of our own people will not talk so confidently.
