Editorial Correspondence Personal Health Service
San Francisco, Nov. 23. The present writer hat iuch a
reputation for gadding around and about this magnetic spheroid,
that the present voyage should be prefaced by a statement of fact:
This it the first trip, away from home, since last March,
only three months short of being a year, a post-war record.
(A real trip we mean.)
And this is to be the first of its kind, purely business and
very brief, not so brief in mileage perhaps but in time.
. .
As often happens this time of year, it's summer in San
Francisco, almost sultry in fact; the ferry trip from the Oakland
mole being a pleasant and cooling journey. Adrienne Steward
on board just a year ago we went north with "Adrienne" who
was also on a buying trip for the new year at that time, and we
were bound for Christmas in New York. She finds it hard to
dope out what milady will be wearing next year and wonders
what ye editor thinks about it. The editor doesn't think about
such things, hasn't for years.
We only hope it won't be slacks. on the street at least,
nor a beehive hair-do, nor a cockle-burr chapeau, but probably.
will be, if not worse. In fact while things are uncertain and
confused, there is that consoling thought, that they might be a
great deal worse. And practically everything else in the world
but right here in the U. S. A. they are worse, definitely so.
The "general" cocks a sparkling eye aloft at a soaring sea
gull, and wonders If Japan has declared war and the ferry boat
might be torpedoed. If it is he is quite sure he will never come
to the surface three times, in fart not once with those flannel
cakes they gave him for breakfast on the diner. The "general"
Is a very unusual combination, full of speed and also whimsy.
They usually don't go together.
Amazing how tne California terrain from Davis to Oakland
has transformed in less than a year. Buildings going up all over
the place and a tremendous ordnance and munition dump under
construction near Benicla, miles and miles of twisting highways,
cuts, small gauge railroad tracks, culverts and fills.
Have to say one thing for the S. P., it's mid-Victorian sched
ule is far more conducive to sight-seeing than air or motor. As
usual the engineer finds great difficulty in not getting to his
destination before time, the wheels barely going around and
around mile after mlie.

to take if they are to keep up
the deception which enables
them to practice nervous im

is the characteristic superiority

intellectuality and greater un
derstanding than that of the
"ordinary" doctor and a finer

this attitude. They cultivate it

Cholesterol
I do not recall seeing anything
about cholesterol In the diet, either
In your booklet on "Indigestion" or
the one on cardiovascular disease.
Please read the artlele Inclosed and
give us your opinion. (B. W.)
Answer The article Is a newspaper
clipping In which a professor Is said
to have discovered that cholesterol
(a waxy fatty substance) in such
foods as egg yolk, meat fats. etc.. is
the cause of attheros-clerosls, the
type of hardening of the arteries In
old sge. In the latest edition of the
booklet "So You Have Indigestion"
(for copy send ten cents and stamped
envelope bearing your address) the
use of cholesterol -rich foods In the
diet Is considered. In reference to
gall-stones particularly. Personally, I
shall continue to eat eggs, meat fats,
etc., and not worry about the effect
on my arteries.

AN interesting sidelight is the
fact that General Cunning

Africa, has had NAVAL train

An interesting human side

To the editor:
Your footnote to the commun
ication of L. F. Loiier on State
Old Age Pensions would lead
one to believe that the old folks
are "gettin' sumfin." Truth of
the matter is that somehow
there does not seem to be even
half enough to keep the oKl
folks from actual wart; what
the authorities do have Is di
vided up as well as they know
how and it does not provide
enough to even keep them with
necessary food or clothing.
It seems that we have the
law all right, as you say, but
there was no funds earmarked
special for this purpose.
The aged are becoming an In
creasing problem as the propor
tion of aged to the balance of
the population is Increasing by
leaps and bounds and they are
far less self-supporting than
formerly.
Those who are opposed to
old age pensions today are go
ing to have to give it very def
inite consideration within the
next 20 years.
Respectfully.
Geo. Iv.rson.
