Letter, should be brief and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letter, received only a few can be aniwered. No reply can be made to querle, not Conforming to Initructlon,. addres, Dr. William Brady, 265 El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. HONESTLY Ever since I launched my one-man campaign to stop intelligent, well meaning but thoughtless people from calling Indisposi tions, passing dis comforts or Ill nesses "cold" and persuade them to call It "crl until the nature of the trouble becomes mani fest, I have had to endure good deal of amartcracklng by the other sort of people. The bur den of their rhetorical questions or arguments Is, "Whst difference does It make what you call kt a coia by any other name Is Just ss bad." Crl (kree) is sny common ins piratory Infection. It Is at least ss significant and as honest a name any other, for the indisposition or ailment, until you or your doctor can find out Just what Is the mat ter. Meanwhile innocent persons who may come within your range have fair warning, so If the trouble proves to have been diphtheria, measles. Infantile paralysis, meningitis, in fluenza, septic sole throat or scarlet fever, at least they can't say you deliberately infected them. , On the other hand, if you disarm or attempt to disarm all who come within your range, by pretending your trouble la "Just a cold," and a few days later many of your vic tims are down with a serious Illness contracted from you, why, you're a pretty mean specimen, aren't you? Don't answer. I'll tell the world you are. Proprietors or executives of busi ness places, shops, factories, practic ing physicians and their office assist ants, dentists and their technicians or office assistants, teachers, stu dents, chefs and waiters, and numer ous other citizens apparently be lieve they are exempt from living i the golden rule of hygiene and that they may infect people with what ever they happen to have with Im punity. At least such offenders still have the cheek to remain at work and expose people indiscriminately to respiratory Infection without fear I of being sued for damages or even censured for criminal conduct. The vital thing which many edu cated people do not know Is that this moisture spray, given off In coughing and sneezing and effec-1 tively stopped If the Individual holds I Man About Manhattan Bv GEOltdE TUCKEIt NEW YORK The voice on the other end of the wire said: "Will you Jump into a cab and come over here rlgnt away? l m in suite 1818." It was Charlie Rochester talk 1 n g, managing director of the Lexington hotel. "Sure," I told him, "right away." His t o 1 c e sounded urgent. I thought maybe a fire had brok en out, oi that his dog had fctORGE 1UCK Jumped out the window. I thought mayne a Mahat- ma or a Maharajah had checked In from the Orient and he wanted to give me n good story. 1 thought of nil this and a lot of other things as the cab curved into 46th street, cross ed Park avenue, and turned Into Lex ington avenue. It was In this perplexed frame of mind thnt 1 stopped out of the eleva tor and rang at 1818. There was a stir inside, and the door was opened by a man I had never seen. I saw three or four other men wholly un known to me. and then Charlie came away from a telephone and said : "Now. son. don't get excited. You look as though you expected to find a anake charmer here. Take off your hat and shake hands with Stephen Chadwiek. National Commander of the American Legion." I took the Commander by the hand. I shook hands with Ray Mur phy, past N.C. of the Legion, and Vic McKinzey. national convention di rector of the Legion. I shook hands with Ed Seay. who is an aide of the national commander. "Well?" I said. "Well, sit down." said Charlie. "Once you told me you were a Loui siana duck hunter and that you liked duck. We're going to eat duck. Wild duck. A friend of mine sent me some ducks from up-state. Here, take a look." Then the chef came In with four of the most beautiful fowl I have ever seen. They were baked a deep gold en brown. Their wings, feathers in tact, were attached so that they look ed like a mouth-watering yet beautiful study In wild-life realism, or maybe 1 mean surrealism. There were steaming bowls of wild rlre. and pineapple rings with can dled chestnuts. There were cranber ries and hot biscuits, and corn muf fins with golden butter, and some other thincs which I paid no atten tion to because that waa getting to far from the duck. There was bur gundy, and of course black coffee. Why am I writing this? Perhaps for the same reason a sourdough yells yippee-e-e when he strikes gold. 1 only know that wild duck to me is the epitome of all thlnes good to eat. You can have pheasant and lobster and all the. rest , . . Just leave ; me the duck. ! I forgot to m-ntton that 1 h.id Just completed lunch when this telephone I Brady, M P.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Tomatoes Is there any harm In eating a large amount of tomatoes every day or nearly every day? Is there an acid In tomatoes that causes rheumatism, acidosis or something? O. L. B. Answer No. Hindhede studied men whose diet consisted exclusively of 11 pounds of tomatoes, about pounds of Graham bread and 3 ounces of margartn dally. He found no evidence of any undesirable ef fect. Except In occasional Instances of allergy, the liberal use of fresh or canned tomato or tomato Juice In the diet is healthful. For one thing it supplies vitamin C, in which the diet In the winter Is likely to be poor. Apocryphal A I tried tablets to build up my resistance to what I call "head colds." Each tablet contains units of vitamin A and 650 units of vitamin D. To ray surprise they cured my night blindness. Before I took these tablets driving at night was a nightmare, because I couldn't see against the glare. I now drive comfortably and safely at night. U m. Answer The testimonial has the fatal fault of most testimony In re spect to the Influence of Vitamin A on night blindness. How do you know it was not the vitamin D in the tablets that Improved your ability to see In poor light? Anyway 3000 units of vitamin A may be had In from one-half ounce to an ounce of dandelion greens, escaiole, kale, broc coli, dried apricots, liver, egg yolk spinach, butter etc. so many every day foods are rich in vitamin A that it is difficult to Imagine a shortage of this vitamin. Milk, cream, eggs, butter, cheese, greens, fruits and fruit Juices, tomato and tomato JtUce. the yellow vegetables, the green vege tables, liver-, kidney, banana, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, asparagus in fact. It Is hard to avoid getting enough vitamin A. (Copyright, 1938. John P. Dllle Co.) Ed. Note; Persons wishing to roinintinlrate with Dr. .irmly should send letter direct (o Dr. William Brady, M.

I suppose I am addicted to gluttony. That is one of the seven deadly slna. But who gives a hang? The gout hasn't got me yet. Recently a noted chef announced that the public was losing Its taste for wild game. That Isn't true. The public quite naturally knows less about game, now that the market huntera have been kicked out. than It ever has before. But If you talk with the real connoisseurs, the people who hunt and understand game, you'll find that they are more appre ciative than ever. WAGNER CREEK.

Every demagogue politician promises It. Many credulous persons believe the promises. 4 EVERYBODY want security. The oretically, everybody is EN TITLED to security. But In a world that Is still far from perfect only those who are smart and efficient and Industrious OBTAIN anything resembling secur ity. No doubt this shouldn't be true. But It IS true. LOOK around you. You will nou (if you are capable of observing accurately) that when business be gins to fall off it Is the dumb and the Inefficient and the lazy who are let off first. When business begins to pick up. It is the dumb and the inefficient and the lazy who are TAKEN ON LAST. Perhaps it shouldn't be that way. But It IS. SINCE the world began, It has been the smart, the efficient and the industrious who have got ahead, and It has been the dumb, the in efficient and the lazy who have fallen behind. MAKING the world over Is a big Job and a very, very slow one. It Is much easier to MAKE YOUR SELF OVER. If you are Inclined to be a dumb. Inefficient and lazy person, DONT DESPAIR. You can make yourself over into a smart, efficient and In dustrious person. It will require en ergy, will power and close applica tion, but It can be done. Millions of persons have done It. You will find it much easier and much more productive of personal results than trying to make the world over. Communications Wnnts Action Against Reds To the editor: How much longer will the press of this country sit back in thc'.r easy chnlrs and permit one man to carry the burden and expense of try ing to eradicate un-Amerlcanlsm, in trying to eliminate the dangerous element that is making desperate efforts to get control of our labor unions end In doing so paralyze business with strikes to the cost of millions and without any business excuse. The greatest power In the world Is the great mass of (so colled) com mon people, when aroused; and the next greatest power in the world Is the press when unified, and they take up some subject and exploit It and there Is no doubt if the general press of the United States would back up Bernarr MocFadden In his work to make America better and get rid of the radicals. It wauld make our next congress sit up and take notice and they would either vote right or get out. Let some poor devil burn sn old $50 shed, and he Is convicted of arson, and goes to the penitential y for one or five years with no Moony- ism to try and get him out; but. an alien con bring about a strike In one of our largest cities paralyzing all kinds of business and stopping all shipping, and closing over forty wholesale houses with losses of mil Hons of dollars, and thousands of people out of work and wofnen And children suffering from lack of food and clothing, and did this arch fiend get any punishment? I should say not, rather he waa wined and dined and draws a salary for doing Just such things. What's the matter with our offic ials? We are in general real Amer icans at heart, we believe in law and order, and we will back up any of ficial who has the backbone to en force it but we have elected to most offices a bunch of spineless incom petents. After all the gold briided noblemen snd generals hsd failed. It only took a lieutenant of cavalry. Napoleon, a few hours to put down the riots in Paris. When Frence was threatened with a national strike, the authorities did not "depend on a few incompetent policemen. Daladler had the nerve and brains to go to the right place, he called out the army and his strike was over In less than a week. When Daladler was confronted with the strike of sall:rs or long shoremen did he go to some woman In Paris and ask her to help him? Certainly not; he had the brains and courage to use the navy to man his ships, he knew the public would not try to fight the regular army or navy. When Teddy Roosevelt was con fronted with a bunch of incompe tent engineers unnecessarily delaying 1 the progress of building the Panama canal, he did not waste a minute discussing the matter with them, he simply fired them out. and put a regular army engineer in charge nnd the work went on O.K. When Governor Calvin Coolldsc was fared with the unusual police men's strike in Boston, did he get on hi knees and ask them to please be good and go back to work with all requests granted? He certainly did not; he ordered out the troops and ordered the policemen to tax off their suits and stars or go to m-ork nt to work and thai NNOI M INO Tin: opi:mno ok Bill and Hazel's Place S So.

TOWK8END, Medford, Ore., Deo. 16. The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One ) Wallac held firm. Now he is taking the line (which is probably perfectly correct) that it would have been fool ish for him to Intervene in Iowa, since the fight was lost anyway. Although he was a chief sponsor of the Iowa venture, Harry Hopkins may well end by accepting the Wallace olive branch. For all his Intense en thusiasms, he Is a man who takes events prety much as they come. Harold Ickes is quite another sort of fellow. The battle of the soil conserva tion service occurred years ago, when Wallace and Rex Tugwell urged Ickes to take a Florida vacation for the sake of his health, and then persuad ed the president to transfer soil con servation to agriculture as soon as Ickes was safely on the train. Ever since, the secretaries of agriculture and interior have eyed one another warily, like two dogs wanting the same bone. Time and again, Icks has attempted congressional raids on for estry and other agricultural bureaus. Time and again, Wallace has snatch ed at the grazing lands and national parks, which are still In the Ickes do main. It will need a minor miracle i to bring the two men together again Hitherto. Henry Wallace paddled his own canoe rather successfully, like Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., he was shielded from the unfriendly by the presi dent's friendship and respect. Agri cultural problems are little under stood by the average New Dealer. Therefore, Wallace seldom suffered from the incursions of unofficial policy -makers. Until last spring, he kept the farmers reasonably happy. and that strengthened his hand. By last spring, the Wallace pros pects were so good that he was rid ing on the crest of a healthy little presidential boom. Then the farm program was cracked by low prices and huge surpluses. The presidential boom subsided. Splendid isolation became a trifle uncomfortable There is no question that Wallace needs help now. although Hopkins and Ickes certainly can't save him single handed. Since the most popular al ternate farm plans are the purest snake oil, it's to be hoped, at least, that Wallace will get all tbe support the administration can give.
