What Do Men Die For?
WE HAVE been wondering, Perhaps this ship
scuttling by Germany, and "RETIRING" qual
ity of the Soviet army add up to something pretty
important.
For the sea and land forces of the two totalitar
ian powers appear to have this quality in common,
they are willing to FIGHT for their respective father
lands, but not so willing to DIE for them.
And we wonder if any form of government, in
this highly competitive world, can endure for long,
if its people, the rank and file, are not only willing
but eager to DIE for their country, if NEED BE, at
any place or any time?
rON'T misunderstand us.
diet either nation, as Mr. MacCaulay said that
can't, with justice, be done. We have no doubt the
German and Russian races are inherently as cour
ageous as any other races, and under similar condi
tions will fight as bravely and as well.
But that's just the point, are the conditions,
SIMILAR?
TAKE the Russian soldier for example. Unlike the
Finnish soldier, he isn't fighting for his home!
He is fighting to get. someone elses home. He isn't
fighting in defense of his country. He is fighting to
destroy the life of some other country.
Granted the average Russian soldier is pretty
dumb, is there ANY soldier of ANY race, so dumb,
that he could fail to sense, when he is fighting, for
his own fireside, and when he ISN'T? When he is
engaged in an imperialistic adventure and when he
isn't? .
' We doubt it.
AT ANY rate, while these daily reports of smashing
" Finnish victories are no doubt exaggerated,
(while negotiating for a foreign loan the Finns
wouldn't care to broadcast serious reverses and de
feats), expert military opinion seems pretty well
agreed-, that in spite of Russian superiority in the air,
in mechanized equipment and in numbers, the Finns
have, to date, made monkeys out of their opponents.
Yet at the close of the World War these same
Red Troops, inferior to the "Whites" in everything
but fighting spirit, inflicted crushing defeat after
crushing defeat upon their counter-revolutionary opponents.
To a man up a tree it

And while we don't doubt that as a general pro
position the German navv and the Russian armv are
today entirely loyal to their

supreme devotion, to a despotism, where there is no
individual liberty or freedom of action, but constant
fear and apprehension, as there can be to a free,
independent, democratic government, such has ex
isted in Finland for example, throughout its exist
ence? We doubt that too.
AT ANY rate with the Russian giant taking a ter

such a sad showing by sea, isn't there some justifi

Trying to tell how the human

daily is like explaining to your

vides Insuffi
cient calcium and vitamin D,
insufficient vitamin B-complex
and iron, and perhaps in many
instances there are shortages of
other mineral elements and of
other essential vitamins, but
these mentioned are the impor
tant ones.
The vitamins are functionally
related with the hormones or
internal secretions in the body
such as thyroid, adrenin, es
trogen and testosterone. Con
stant moderate deficiencies in
intake of the essential vitamins
probably (this is merely the
notion of Ol' Doc Brady, re
member) account for functional
weakness or irregularity of the
ductless glands in many cases.
At first thought it may seem
a far cry from white bread and

celiac disease, malnutrition, or

tigue and spinal curvature it
may seem so to you. It doesn't
seem so to me. But then, I am

It seems futile to talk about
restoration of life to ghost,
whether by requiring the use
of a reasonable proportion of
entire wheat for the making
of bread or by requiring the
addition of a reasonable part
of the vitamin B-complex which
has been removed in the re
fining of flour, altho nutrition
authorities are considering both
of these prophylactic measures.
It is not unreasonable and not
Impracticable to procure and
keep on hand a supply of plain
wheat and use it in the daily
dietary, if you control the food
supply in your own home. I
have a monograph "Wheat to
Eat" which gives instructions
for the use of wheat send

address and ask for it.
If you cannot control the food
supply or preparation of food,
then you can at any rate keep
on hand a few pounds of wheat
germ, and eat several table
spoonfuls of It daily, to Increase
your Intnke of vitamin B-complex

in the usual namby-pamby diet.

sometimes afflicts the new deal.

If you will not or cannot

can lay in a supply of vitamin
B-complex tablets and furtively
chew or swallow three to six
of them every day each tablet
contains ISO international units
of Bl (thiamin) so three to six
probably give enough B to keep
a normal person in fair func
tional health. One who gets
enough vitamin B-complex daily
will rarely have any iron short
age, for B-complex controls the
assimilation of iron.
The other important defi
ciency of our namby-pamby diet
is calcium and phosphorus, the
assimilation, utilization and re
tention of which are controlled
by vitamin D. Egg yolk, milk
cream, buyer, oysters, fresh or
canned, salmon, sardines are vir
tually the only foods containing
significant amounts of vitamin
D. Milk, cheese, greens, peas,
beans, nuts are the best food
sources of calcium.
Various meats and fish are
good food sources of phos.
phorus. Wheat is a good source
of phorphorus, but most of the
phosphorus is removed in re
fining wheat into white flour.
In infants, children and
youths 10 to 18 years of age,
it is generally advisable to sup
plement the everyday diet with
additional vitamin D In one
form or another, and In some
cases the child or youth should
also receive calcium and phos-
pnorus along with the daily
ration of vitamin D.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ambulant Treatment
Some of your readers misunder
stand what ambulant treatment
means. They expect to have the
treatment (of hernia) completed In
one visit to the office, and they
even expect It to be done by some
Kind or hokus-pokus without Instru
ments or Injections. ( M. D.)
Answer Ambulant treatment of
hernia (rupture, breach) usually
means eight to a dozen visits to the
doctor's office at Intervals of a week
or so, for an Injection at each visit.
Two main advantages of this treat
ment over radical operation are that
It does not require hospitalization
and loss of pay, and It Involves less
risk than general anesthesia or even
local anethesla and a major opera
tion. Aside from the fact that the
patient carries on with his regular
Job and so loses no pay. the aver
age cost of ambulant treatment Is
usually about the same as the cost
of the radical operation (less hoa
pltal charge).
Tea and Coffee
Is It true that caffeine and tannin
found In tea and coffee are harmful
to the body? (V. M.)
Answer As a general rule tea and
coffee are rather healthful beverages

pressure.
Thus. It required radical measures
to get the employer-sppeal ruling
chansed. Thus, too. Dr. Lelserson
was not (treatly helped by the presi
dential promise of carte blanche.
Lelser-.in came to the NIJIB with
n 1-.' !-'v s-.iccMful record at the
railway mediation board. During the
first period of hia service' he held
nta tongua while he formed hla con
clusions. The first conclusion he
reached waa that, while the national
labor relations act was perfectly
sound, the board's administration of
the act was as bad as It could be.
Partisanship, slopplness, inexperience
and arbitrariness were, so he thought,
written all over the board 'a work.
The secretary's office, presided over
by Nathan Witt, formed a sort of
bottle-neck through which the great
majority of cases had to go. He
believed that most of the trouble
waa concentrated In this bottle-neck.
The moment when Dr. Lelserson
opened his attack on Witt was when
Witt attempted to persuade the
board to alter an already approved
finding. His first effort waa to have
Witt's office abolished in favor of
a committee of appeal, staffed by
labor relations experts, and charged
with Witt's former function of re
viewing field examiners' reports be
fore presentation to the board.
Chairman Madden and the third
board member, Edwin 8. Smith, tried
to give Lelseraon the brush-off by
arguing that competent labor rela
tions experts were unobtainable.
Lelserson countered by offering a
list of 100 obtained from the civil
service commission. Madden and
Smith then openly refused to remove
Witt or reduce his authority.
There followed the numerous con
flicts over Witt which are now on
the public record. By last July, it
was already clear that the board's
work would be Investigated, and
Lelserson, who .Is a persistent fellow,
began to plead with Smith and Mad
den to clean house In rdvance. They
were still determined not to alter
the board's personnel or practices
In any material way. Finally, wish

Lelserson prepared the memoranda

Investigating committee,
Lelserson went to considerable
trouble to persuade the house com
mittee, which wanted only docu
mentary evidence, to let him give
his testimony on the value of the
labor act, as distinguished from Its
administration. Nevertheless, the
drive to amend the act rather than
reform the labor board has been
vastly strengthened. No doubt the
other members of the board will
now be forced to listen more atten
tively to Lelser son's recommenda
tions. But, because decisive steps
were not taken when the need for
them became apparent, the White
House finds itself facing a nasty,
and totally unnecessary, fight In

AT THIS point, a question is
in order: How would YOU
like to have YOUR BIRTHDAY
celebrated in that manner?
LAUDATORY articles blanket
the soviet (heel-dog) press
today in observance of the an.
niversary of the birth of Stalin
hailing him as the man who
has led the nation to socialism

25.000 ARMY OFFICERS
ALONE have been purged (mur
dered) because Stalin feared or
just didn't like them. (Not to
mention the other thousands
"purged".)
The Stalin road to socialism
and thence on to communism is
a bloody one.
ANOTHER question: In his
secret soul, what does Stal
in think of communism?
Except Stalin, of course, (who
WON'T) no one can answer that
question. The probably correct
answer is that he regards it as
a convenient road to PERSON
AL POWER.
(Our own politicians who
preach the doctrine of some-thing-for-nothing

have the
same idea).
IF WISE, you will SUSPECT
those who promise you some
thing for nothing (or something

those who advise you that the
