Dewey, a candidate for the Re publican presidential nomina tione, entrained today for An gust, Ga., for a week's rest and to prepare his next three cam paign speeches, one of them at Portland, Ore., at a Lincoln Day dinner February 12. Gii V ACCORDING to our special representative in " Washington, D. C, considerable indignation is being expressed at the White House over the protests against the appointment of Myron C. Taylor, as special peace emissary to the Vatican. These protests are far more numerous and em phatic than generally reported, and can be roughly divided into two portions: One: those protesting the appointment on the ground it means the resumption of diplomatic rela tions with the Holy See, and the extension of sinister papal influence in the United States. Two : those protesting because Mr. Taylor is form er President of U. S. Steel, closely associated with Big Business and the Munitions Trust, and therefore not qualified to properly represent American democ racy at the Vatican or anywhere else during the per iod of European strife. e e XfE GRANT both protests are absurd. But what did " the White House expect? After all those who deal with the double-edged sword of political symbol ism, must be expected to be cut by it, now and then. And aren't these criticisms identical in character with the criticisms directed toward various and sun dry Republican administrations, when they have been in power, criticisms which have no basis in fact, but which "listen well", particularly to those who are susceptible to appeals of blind passion and prejudice? Has the White House, by any chance, forgotten, how glibly certain Democratic spokesmen, for ex ample, branded Herbert Hoover and even the guile less ex-Governor Landon as being "errand boys for the House of Morgan," because certain prominent Wall Street operators were found to have contributed- to the Republican war chest? And how about the "Economic Royalists" of Philadelphia, and the Ku KIux Klan charge, circu lated so industriously through large Catholic centers, when Al Smith was the candidate? WE DON'T blame the White House for resenting such charges against their highly respectable, pa triotic and public-spirited representative to the Vati can but we can hardly forgive them for expressing such surprise. For such a reaction certainly comes under the heading of being able to DISH it out, but NOT being able to TAKE it! The G. O.P. Keeps the New Deal A YE verily how times do change! An article ap pears in the current "Mercury," which only three or four years ago would have caused a national sen sation. But today apparently no one pays the slightest attention to it. The article is entitled "The New Deal Must Be Salvaged", the author being none other than Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan, regarded in many quarters, as the leading candidate for the Re publican nomination. And what would the senior senator from Michi gan salvage from the Roosevelt dministration? PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING! And yet it seems only yesterday, that not only the distinguished Senator himself, but the Republican vice presidential candidate Colonel Frank Knox, and a score of other G.O.P. orators, were proclaiming from one end of the country to the other, that the New Deal was wrecking the country, morally and economically, destroying all our cherished traditions, from rugged individualism to free enterprise, and that all that the country and business needed, was to kick out one administration and put in another, that WOULD LEAVE BOTH ALONE! QAN it be everyone has forgotten the constant re- frain from the militant publisher of the Chicago Daily News, as he stormed up and down the country, as well as the book written by ex-President Hoover, as a warning that in the New Deal, the United States was selling its sacred heritage for a mess of pot tage, sound rugged Americanism for crack pot so cialism and hare brained experimentation!

QUININE IS A Id cases where prolonged mental or physical strain is to be undergone, wrote the fam ous physician, teacher, authority on t h e r apeu tics (treatment of disease), Prof. H. A. Hare, quinine in doses of 2 to 4 grains will often pre v e n t exhaus tion and sup port the sys tem. For adults two grains of q u t n I n e sul phate. In pill, tablet or capsule, three times daily for a week or two before the ordeal is usually the correct dosage. For chil dren between three and ten years of age, one grain twice or three times daily is generally suitable. The doses suggested may be used either for pre venting stage fright or examina tion jitters, or to prevent ex haustion and support the sys tem, as Hare expresses it. where a prolonged mental or physical strain is to be undergone. On other occasions I have suggested quinine sulphate In these same doses, or in some instances larger doses, to be taken over a period of several months, as a remedy for Thorn sen's disease (myotonia), a con dition present at birth (congen- otal) in some individuals, char acterized by excessive rigidity of the muscles, so that the mus cles respond to the will only after the laps of an appreciable second or two. This is not the mere unwieldy state and im paired elasticity of the muscles in an individual who is "mus cle bound" from wrong physi cal training. I have suggested the same use of quinine as a remedy for the bed-wetting habit in children from three to 18 years of age, and have received grateful re ports of success obtained with it in obstinate and discouraging cases of this persistent infantile habit. By the way, if your child has the habit, send stamp ed envelope bearing your ad dress and ask for monograph on bed-wetting.

As the third term movement shapes up. the medley of personalities In volved grows stranger and stranger. Animaters and mas-! ter-minds are certain leading new dealers, like Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and White House advisers Thomas G. Corcoran and Benjamin V. Cohen. Their politics are to the left, their practical experi ence small and their partisan affiliations extremely vague. But riding on their band wagon are such crudely prac tical Democratic bosses and po litico as Mayer Frank Hague of Jersey City, Ed Kelly, the fragrant satrap of Chicago, and spavined eld Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania. Just climbing aboard, in several nor mally Republican states, are the boys in the courthouse gangs. These little fellows in the Dem ocratic organisation wan the name of Roosevelt to save their local tickets and keep them on the payroll.

GOOD INHIBITOR judgment doubtful whether any other remedy is as good and as safe as two grains of quinine sulphate, in pill, tablet or cap sule, three times a day for the duration of the epidemic, for an adult; a child over three years of age may have half of that dose for the same purpose. The tonic, inhibiting, steady ing action of quinine accounts for its beneficial effect In many cases of exophthalmic goitre (hyperthyroidism), chorea (St. Vitus's dance) and arrhythmia or irregular heart action. In hibiting means restraining, hold ing back. Physiologists explain that quinine diminishes reflex action by stimulating Setsche now's reHe inhibitory center. In ordinary language quinine Is a pretty good holder-backer where erratic or uncontrolled action or reaction is to be re strained. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

If a man can go naked he needs no bath except to wash away mud or grime he happens to accumulate.

Answer No, that Is, not of con tracting any disease worse than pedlculoals (infestation with lice), scabies (the itch) or ringworm If the previous wearer happened to harbor any of these parasites.

The movement went Into a new stage a few days ago. when rallying chles for a liberal united front were almost simultaneously uttered by Secretary Icxes and Attorney Gen eral Frank Murphy at their press conferences and by Mayor Plorello La Cluardla ot New York as he left an Interview with the president. Thla was. of course, one of the rather shrewdly conceived devices by which the new dealer third term strate gists are keeping their movement In the public eye. The building up. which was briefly lntemtpted by the president's "no-partlsanshlp" stand In the neutrality fight. Is on again In earnest. Meanwhile, the third term man agers are deriving their most sub stantia encouragement from the symptoma of aupport among the boys In the court-house gangs already mentioned. Ksnsas Is one esse In point. Th Kansan In the cabinet. Secretary of War Hairy Woodrlng. an acute poli tician, is entirely faithful to the president, but has been opposed on principle to the third term.

(IP) Army recruiting sergeants will take to the air next month in a super-selling effort to fill the 227.000 enlistment quota set by President Roosevelt. Four flying recruiting units two planes each will tour the country from coast to coast. The tour Is another part of the campaign to "glamorize" the army, using all the high-pressure methods of modern Arrferican business and more besides "Glamor" is a word found In the army's own publicity. Ads Show Activities For the first time, magazines soon will be carrying army ad vertisements, paid for by some commercial sponsor "in the in terest of national defense." The ads will show soldiers in labora tories and planes and even on kitchen police duty. For the last two months, the army itself has been paying for recruiting ads in newspapers, es pecially those in small towns and rural areas, where the army finds most of the best of its recruits. The open road soon will be i used by recruiting officers. Bids have been requested for 18 lux urious offices on wheels big truck-and-trailer combinations with sleeping quarters for five soldiers. Meanwhile, a glamorized "Miss Liberty," with bronze hair, beckons to young men from 75,000 army posters in busses, trolley cars and subways, from 15,000 billboard sheets, and from the signboards in front of 44 recruiting stations and 408 substations (112 more than on Oct. 2).
