Rockford, 111, July 23. It's even hotter here than in Chi
cago, 105 according to the thermometer at the "old home
stead," which ibii't official, of course. And not a breath of air
stirring. Feels like cyclone weather, but there isn't a cloud in
the sky, and hasn't been since Sunday. Don't see how the na
tives can atand it, but guess the human system can adapt itself
to most anything, if the time allowance is sufficient. (Thank
the Lord OUR time allowance is exactly 24 hours.)
It's an ill wind, etc., etc. For this weather that is killing to
the genus homo is peaches and cream for the corn in the corn
belt. And WHAT corn! Never have we seen such a "stand"
all the 8:) miles from the Chicago loop. It'a tasseling out now,
higher than a man's head, stalks larger than a man's wrist, and
such a dark green, it looks almost black.
Hut our farmer aunt, as usual, refuses to share our amateur
ish enthusiasm.
"Oh, yes," quoth she, "it LOOKS food, but three weeks
without rain, and there will be no ears, nothing but stalk. You
might salvage some in the silo, but the only way to make money
out of corn is to put the kernels in stock. It'a a terrible life to
be so at the mercy of Jupiter Pluvius or whoever it it who han
dles the weather in these partsl Hasn't rained in two weeksl"
(Our private opinion is, it'a also a terrible life to be such
an uncompromising pessimist.)
The presidential campaign has started, at far at "the
greatest newspaper in the world is concerned," not a day
passes that President Roosevelt doesn't get a blast, he's a war
monger, a would-be dictator, a liar and a thief 1
. . .
We entirely agree with Sam Greeley't friend regarding this
sort of newspaper campaigning, instead of making votes for
the Republicans it does precisely the reverse. It pleases those
who are going to vote Republican ANYWAY, but only alienates
those who have any sense of fair play or independence.
And why CAN'T newspapers like the Chicago Tribune see
that it's NOT the regular Republicans or Democrats who de
termine elections, but the INDEPENDENTS!
We have no doubt there are thousands of Independents in
Illinois, who will be driven by such intolerance and mendacity
and intemperance to vote atrainst the Tribune's ticket, when if
left alone they might well have gone down the line for Willkie
and JIcNaryl
While on this subject just a word regarding this talk that
President Roosevelt dictated his nomination at Chicago.
That is going to be charged a number of times in this cam
paign no doubt. Yet there is not so much as a .SHRED of truth
to it.
No man has ever been nominated for this exalted place more
certainly hv the will of the members of his party than was the
case with F.D.R. in Chicago a
Not only did the members of
for him in every state primary
convention were just as overwhelmingly for him, and nothing
but his emphatic and determined
tion if offered him could have
Mire even THAT could have done
This is not to claim there was any great or spontaneous en
thusiasm for him. There wasn't. But there was an absolute con
viction on all sides, that to nominate anyone else would be sui
cide, would mean taking a beating before the party could even
get a start, and there wasn t a delegate or scarcely any
in the hall, who wanted to do that.
In fact, Roosevelt was far more the popular choice at the
Democratic convention than Willkie was at the Republican.
That Chicago convention under np conceivable circumstances,
could have voted for anyone else, but at Philadelphia, only the
miracle of an aroused effective and articulate public opinion,
prevented the convention from voting for "ANYbody else."
That'a the truth of this business. Rut as the campaign pro
gresses, we don't expect manv Republicans to admit it.
.....
Not that there wasn't plenty of Roosevelt dictation at Chi
cago in other directions. It was, as stated at the time, a one
man show, as far as the platform, vice-president selection, and
the important speeches were concerned. Rut the Chicago Trio-
une keeps on declaring Roosevelt
as a third term candidate. He didn't. The party foreed the
third term on HIM.
According to a friend in the manufacturing business here.
the next thing in motor car improvement will be an air-cooling
system for summer added to the heating system for winter. If
we had to live in this part of the country, we would certainly
have such a car and fix it up with typewriter, mattress, icebox.

MINOR SYMPTOMS DEVELOP INTO SERIOUS SIGNS
Medical science up to the .still other entitles of the B com
present era has been based on
normal and morbid or patholog
ical anatomy,
the structure
of body tis
sues and or
gans and the
changes in
structure!
which the phy
sician finds in
hit examina
tion. Modern med
I c a 1 science
takes into con
sideration not
only the signs observed by the
medical examiner but also the
symptoms of which the patient
complains. The practice of med
icine today requires at least a
practical working knowledge of
physiology and of chemistry.
Long before definite struc
tural changes can be recognized
by the physician, changes in
function ' (physiology) and in
composition of the body tissues
and secretions occur, in the
course of disease. It Is this
earlier change in physiology or
chemistry that gives rise to the
symptom, the complaint of the
individual affected. Much later,
when the disease becomes fully
developed or "advanced," as the
old timers expressed it, the an
atomical or structural change
occurs, and this gives rise to the
sign elicited by the physician's
examination regardless of the
complaint of the individual af
fected. The all too familiar distinc
tion the old timers drew be
tween "functional" and "or
ganic" disease has gone out of
fashion in medical ranks, but
the notion still prevails in the
popular fancy and probably ac
counts for a good deal of dan
gerous or fatal procrastination
and self-doctoring on the part
of individuals in the incipient
or functional stage of disease.
Beriberi (Singhalese for ex
treme weakness), also known as
multiple neuritis, is rare in
America, common in the Orient,
and the cause of the disease Is
extreme deprivation of vitamin
Bl (thiamin). Pellagra (Italian
for rough skin) is common in
parts of Italy and other Euro
pean countries, and In the
poorer sections of the south, but
rare In the northern part of the
United States. It is still uncer
tain whether pellagra is caused
by extreme deprivation of vita
min B2 (G, riboflavin) alone or
of nicotinic acid (another entity
of the B complex) alone or of de
privation of these and perhaps

plex (such as B8 or anti-dermatitis
factor and the "filtrate fac
tor" and even Bl).
Although these fully devel
oped deficiency diseases are not
common in this country, it is
now well recognized by corn-
petent authorities and well in
formed physicians that mild
cases of these and other defic
iency diseases are among the
most frequent troubles of which
people in all walks of life com
plain. For example most every
day cases of "stomach trouble,"
constipation, "neuritis," colon
derangement (too often tagged
"mucous colitis"), anemia, "poor
circulation," weak heart and
"neurasthenia" are probably
due to deficiency in daily vita
min intake. Generally the de
ficiency is not of any one vita
min but of several, especially
vitamin B complex, vitamin A
and vitamin D.
Diagnosis of these milder nu
tritional deficiences is as yet
chiefly a matter of the Judg
ment of the physician. The con-
firmation of the diagnosis is the
therapeutic test, that is, supple
menting the patient's diet with
the vitamins which are needed.
In any case, even if the thera
peutic test fails to confirm the
diagnosis, no harm is done. In
deed the patient experiences
some benefit in health as a rule.

proved scientifically that the dis

MO ATTACK on Britain yet (as
' these words are written.)
The Germans are still beating
the tom-tomt and making hor
rible threats their purpose be
ing exactly the same as that of
savages who seek by noise and
frenzy to terrify their enemies
and work themselves up to the
fighting pitch.
Don't fall into the error of
thinking there may be no at
tack. Hitler CAN'T quit with
Britain unsmashed. That would
upset his apple cart.
A LONDON "spokesman" says
Germany has lost 4.000 to
S.000 planes since the war be
gan. Other London sources in
dicate that Britain it nearing
equality with the German air
force.
The best rule, so far. Is to
BELIEVE NOTHING about air
craft. Official communiques on
other phases of the fighting are
reasonably accurate, but both
sides make extravagant claims
about air fighting.
DEGISTRATION under the
pending conscription pro
gram has been tentatively set
for September 1, although con
gress has not yet passed the con
scription law. It is expected that
400.000 conscripts will be se
lected and started int training
by October 1.
This will be MILITARY con
scription. Industrial conscription
win follow if the need for it
arises.
Uncle Sam means business.
pONSCRIPTION will affect
American life profoundly
especially if carried out under
a government that itches to run
people's lives for them.
But it HAS TO BE DONE.
Successful defense permits no
ifs.
IJERE is this writers advice:
Let's accept conscription as
a bitterly distasteful necessity
and give it our LOYAL CO-OPERATION
until the present
emergency in world affairs is
past. But let's remain firmly re
solved that we'll do away with
it Just as soon as it's safe to do
so.
Conscription, as a PERMA
NENT institution, has no place
In America. It gives too much
power to those who are eager to
regiment other people's lives.

largely as a result of the aid

Portland. July 15. 0J.F" Re
ports reaching here from Wash
ington. D. C, indicated today
that another aluminum plant,
costing S5.000.000. may be built
in the Portland area soon.
The new plant, according to
the reports, would use a mini
mum of 30.000 kilowatts of
Bonneville power and would be
established on the south side of
the Columbia river.
Dr. Paul J. Raver. Bonneville
administrator, refused to deny
or affirm the report, but it was
known that he had a firm ap
plication for 50.000 kilowatts of
power from an aluminum com
pany six months ago when he re

Willkie, say the Roosevelt sup
porters, it a fake farmer, al
though he has four farms; he is
a Democrat masquerading as a
Republican and packed the gal

the nomination from such good
Republicans as Taft, Vandenberg

lawyer who was paid $75,000 a
year; he has a barber who trims
his hair to give it that shaggy
effect; when he answered all the
quetttont on "Information

to look them up in advance, be
cause no one could be to smart;
unlike Mr. Roosevelt, who is
seeking a third term in the White
House because his conscience
won't permit him to let the peo
ple down, Willkie is a candidate
because he wants the job.
MR. Roosevelt baa wrecked tha
Democratic party, aay the Will

bum's rush and although Jack Gar

not consult hlro about a aucceaaor;
that Instead of a Democrat Mr.

New Orleans, July 15. (P)
Louisiana's "reform" movement
centered today upon former
Gov. Earl K. Long, brother of
the late Sen. Huey P. Long who
founded a now-shattered politi
cal empire. i
The 43-year-old Earl, along'
with four others, was charged
by the Parish (county) grand ,
Jury last night with embezzle
ment and extortion. The indict
ment involved alleged padding
of a dock board payroll during
the week preceding the Febru
ary 20 run-off primary in which '
Long was defeatd for the gov-I
ernorship by Sam Houston
Jones.
Sixteen men were listed in
the indictment as payroll "dead
heads." No charges were made
against them.
Long was the second former

Roofs.
(Written from a hospital win
dow.) I'm looking down on roofs to
day. No pretty sight I see.
Just brown and green and ollva
shad-'s
That don't appeal to me.
Yet neath those roofs are homes
Where people like me live.
There's color there, and happi
ness That only Home can giva.
The thought I'm trying to por
tray Is that you cannot know
What lies beneath the heart ot
man
By his exterior showl
When people criticize me most
And say the things that chide,
'Tis then I'm glad that God
looks down
And sees the ME inside!
