light therapy.

Have the therapeutics of ht be j; n definitely worked out so that au

thorities agree?

ANSWER—It is known that light may have a beneficial effect in certain diseases. Some diseases respond to light treatment more readily than others. The response also depends upon the severity of the disease, the state af immuunity has been used with benefit In cerand personal idiosyncrasies. Light has been used with benefit in certain forms of anemia; in the treatment of diseases due to faulty assimilation; in the deficiency diseases due to lack of vitatims; in tuberculosis of bone, joints and glands; for the cure of local conditions such as wounds and ulcers; and for the relief, of deep-seated congestion, neuritis and certain skin diseases. Light is of value in the cure and prevention of rickets; it promotes growth; and it is of value in restoring tone and function during convalescence frbm

severe infection.

Since the amount of natural light from the sun, and especially its ultra-violet ray content, varies with the geographical location, the season of the year, and such local conditions as the amount of dust, smoke and moisture in the atmosphere, under some conditions reliance may be placed on sources of artificial radiation. These sources are generally called lamps, or radiators. If these lamps are to be used in the treatment of any dis ease or over long continued periods of exposure, one should have the

place to live how is it that so many die there of tuberculosis?

death rate froin pulmonary tuberculosis is du<f to the fact that many persons in an advanced stage of the disease flock to California in hope of relief or cure. Hundreds who die there each year cannot rightly be called residents of the state. The same may be said of

Arizona.

DIET FOR SICK CHILDREN. _ What is the best diet for sick,

feverish children?

ANSWER—'The answer to this question must be modified by individual conditions. It is likely that ice cream will meet the needs and satisfy the patients in more instances than will any other one

thing.

At all times caution must be observed in exposing one's self to any lamp. When using these lamps

it may be necessary to use goggles to protect the eyes. j o MALES AND FEMALES. What is the population • ratio between males an females at dif ferent ages?

ANSWER—i Approximately 104 males are born to 100 females, and males remain in excess until the age of 20 is reached. From the age of 20 to 35 females predominate. From 35 to 65 there is again an excess of males, but from 65 to 100 the females outnumber the males in increasing ratio. — -O CANCER DEATHS. Is the death rate in cancer greater in some states than in others? . ■ . - , . • - ANSWER—Yes. The death rate from cancer in California, Illinois and New York is nearly twice as great as that of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

CRAVING. We have a five ear old child who has an abnormal craving for vinegar. What can we do? ANSWER — First determine whether this child is getting a balanced ration suitable to his needs/ If not, supply te deficiency. If his diet is ample then substitute lemon juice for the vinegar. I am of the opinion that this idiosyncrasy will be short lived.

BUTTER vs. MARGARINE. What is the real difference in food value between, butter made from cream and oleomargarine? ANSWER—Butter contains vitimines essential to human growth and maintenance of health. The substitutes for butter carry vitamins only in proportion to the milk or other dairy products used in their manufacture. The actual fat content of butter may vary but little from that of a good oleomargarine.

INDIGESTION. What causes indigestion?

ANSWER—There are several causes. (1) Food not suited to the individual. (2) Poor cooking. (3) Physical fatigue. (4) Worry anger. (5) Rapid eating. (6) water. (7) Constipation. Defective teeth.

Victor Seastrom delayed in starting his first vocalized production, not because he doesn’t like dialogue films but for the reason that during a(l of 1928 he took a year’s vacation at his old home in Sweden; his first leisure period since making of “He Who Gets Slapped,” “The Scarlet Letter” and “The

Divine Woman.”

in “A Lady To Love” Seastrom is said to offer a new treatment of the old problem of an older man with a young wife. Miss Banky has the role of Lena, a waitress who accepts by mail the proposal of an Italian vineyardist of California. Buck, played by Robert. Ames, who came direct from “The Trespasser” with Gloria Swanson, is the young Irishman whose picture Tony, the fifty-year old bridegroom to be, slips in his letter of proposal. Tony is played by Edward G. Robinson of “Kibitzer,” “The Racket” and other successful stage productions. The role of Father McKee is played by Lloyd Ingraham of “The Show Boat,” “The Night Parade” and “So Long Letty.” Anderson Lawler came from the stage (“Caste,” “Saturday’s Children” and “Her Cardboard Lover”) to do a young country doctor. Richard Carle, the comedian, is a rural free ter. Gum Chin, the Chinese comeddelivcry postman, a pivotal eharac'an, and George Davis of “Devil May Care’ and “It’s a Great Life,”

complete the list.

duties.

To relieve the undue burden of taxation on real property by the adoption, in lieu thereof, at least for state and school aid purposes, of other methods, including an income tax, with exemptions not less liberal than those of the federal in-

come tax.

To give equal opportunity for all school children to acquire an education in all school units. We favor provision for equitable collection of state-aid funds for our poorer school districts and the proper, honest and efficient distribution of

this fund.

To properly maintain and support

the stae library.

To the continued support of the George Rogers Clark memorial. To extend and improve the state highway system, not as a corrupt political machine or football of politics, but so as to make it more useful and more efficiently administered and to protect the highways by regulating the traffic thereon. To the economical extension of our state park system; to the conservation of our state’s natural resources; to the reforestation of waste lands; to the creation of state forests in areas not adaptable to agriculture and to the protection of wild bird and animal life. We favor such legislation as may be necessary and beneficial to the proper protection of our former soldiers, nurses and their dependents. Indiana coal should be purchased and used by Indiana institutions. State banking institution’s examinations should be equal to those made by national bank examiners under federal law, to the end that we may have fewer bank failures with their consequent losses in the

state of Indiana.

Waterways for transportation from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico should be opened and maintained by the United States government and Indiana senators and representatives should give this their undivided support. We favor legislation providing for the personal registration of voters to the end that the sancity of the ballot may be preserved. We pledge ourselves to a readjustment of the salaries of all offices in the state by placing them on a straight salary basis and provide that all general and special fees coftected by the various county officers shall be paid into the coun-

ty treasury.

Wo reaffirm our faith in the principles of constitutional liberty and the bill of rights pronounced by Thomas Jefferson and practiced by Woodrow Wilson. We charge that the people no longer govern themselves.

ment, neglecting its proper purpose of protecting life and property.

AGRICULTURE

The Democratic party has ever been and still remains the real friend of the masses, of which the farmer is a large part. We, therefore, reaffirm our promise to do everything possible in keeping with good business to place agriculture on a par with labor and industry We condemn the Republican leaders for their failure to bring the immediate farm relief promised two years ago and their slowness in developing a plan to bring agriculture under the same protection afforded industry for many years and believe a .complete solution of the farm problem will never be realized

under Republican leadership.

It being impossible to control farm production, the tariff on surplus farm crops is ineffective and places the farmer on an open world market for many of our staple crops and forces him to purchase in a

highly protected market.

We reaffirm our belief that the government can take care of the exportable surplus crops without loss by distributing the cost to the producers, which would curtail overproduction and place agriculture on

an equality with industry.

We condemn the Republican members of congress for failing to keep their promise of revising the tariff so as to make it more favorable to agriculture, but instead they are considering a tariff bill more discriminatory against agriculture than any tariff ever considered by

any congress.

CARE OF THE AGED

The present method of caring for the aged poor in asylums violates the humane and generous sentiments which would preserve for the poor the freedom to choose their own environment and the opportunity of untrammeled social communications with relatives and friends

and agreeable companions.

A careful study of the available facts indicates that the present method is likewise extravagant and

uneconomic.

instruction, ,the touchstone by which to try the services of those

we trust.

UTILITIES The public service commission as established was intended to protect the public from unjust rates and to award only fair returns on actually invested capital. Its purpose can only be carried out by members who realize that it should be so administered and not for the payment of political debts by unjust rates; by members who realize this obligation to the public; by members who

influence. We believe in the full measure of local self-government in all matters affecting the management of munic-ipally-owned utilities as the nature of the business will admit. WORLD PEACE Cherishing the inspiring memory of WoodrOw Wilson, we commend all efforts in the interest of world

peace.

We adopt the rooster in the attitude of crowing as the emblem of the Democratic party.

“The Rogue Song’’ Marvelous All Technicolor Singing Triumph At Rivoli Theatre

TEAS AND TONICS. Why is it that so many of the teas and tonics used by our grandmothers for common ailments are declared useless by the modern physician?

ANSWER — Because we have learned that the benefits derived from most of the teas came from the hot water only; and whatever real or imaginary virtue found in tonics or “patent medicines” yvas due to its alcoholic content and not to any herbal extracts they may have contained. Thousands of persons who thought they abominated “strong drink” consumed more alcohol each day in the booze-con-taining compounds such as Peruna and Hostette’s Bitters than did the moderate drinker of beer.

BOOKS. I would like to'get a book on the history of the nursing profession; also one on home nursing. What do you recommend?

ANSWER—The History of Nursing, by Walsh, ($2.00), and Home’ Care of the Sick, by Seibert, (1.00) may be procured from the Chicago Medical Book Co., Congress and

Song and color, high adventure and romance, arc all blended into the first motion picture/starring a famous opera singer. Lawrence Tibbett, world’s greatest operatic baritone, bids fair also to become one of the world’s greatest movie stars, as a result of “The Rogue Song,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s musical drama, which opens a threeday engagement at. the Rivoli Theatre, starting with the matinee Mon-

day.

Filmed entirely in color, directed by Lionel Barrymore, that master of talking screen drama, the new picture combines an ,engrossing plot with spectacle kml gorgeous music, all woven into a romance of love and adventure. Though some of its music approaches grand opera magnitude, it is not opera. Other of the songs are charming popular numbers. And though the songs are an integral part of the poignant drama, the story itself is a great motion picture play, aside from the music. Tibbett, a splendid actor as well as a great singer, is compelling in the role of the singing bandit chief of the Caucasus. Catherine Dale Owen makes a very beautiful heroine. For comedy relief, Laurel and Hardy supply assorted laughs throughout the picture. Albertina Rasch’s colorful ballet with a hundred beautiful girls, is an added spectacular desian palaces to gypsy villages in the tail. The settings range from Rusmountains. A symphony orchestra furnishes the musical background. The cast includes Wallace Macdonald, Kate Price, Judith Vosselli, McIntosh, James Bradbury, Jr., UllLionel Belmore, Nance O’Neil, Burr rich Haupt, and others of note, all splendidly cast. Frances Marion is responsible for the story, with dialogue'by John Colton, while Herbert Stohart an Clifford Grey wrote songs and lyrics, with interpolations by Franz Lehar.

We therefore indict the master

politicians of the Republican party for crimes that have defiled, debased and confounded justice; for conduct that has corrupted and corroded conscience; for the lust and lure of privilege that has brought about the auctioning off of seats in the United States senate primaries in various states at hundreds of thousands of dollars each; for the unemployment of millions; for the worst panic in the nation’s history; for preaching abolition of poverty while raising the cost of living through unreasonable tax and tariffs, thus picking the pockets of com sumers and lowering the wages of those who still have jobs; and for intolerable taxes, the result of reckless spending. \ We denounce the illegal and unwarranted action of the last legislature in appropriating the additional sum of $10,000 for the maintenance of the Governor’s home and househokb at a time when our industrial workers are unemployed by thousands and our farmers are threatened by bankruptcy. We further charge that it is unwise to place in the hands of any Governor the unprecedented sum of $200,000 without check or control.

The use of the writ of injunction in labor disputes should be defined by statute, and the right of trial by jury of those charged with indirect contempt should be safeguarded by law. The state should point the way to safeguarding the work places of those employed in mine, shop, factory, mill and transportation. Insanitary workshops are as much a social hazard as is unguarded ma-

chinery.

Experience has proved the social value of the workmen’s compensation law. This law should be liberalized to the point that it compares favorably with similar statutes <n our border states. Inmates of our penal and correctional institutions can not be kept in idleness, but the product of their Industry should not find its way to the market in unfair competition with free labor. Contract prison labor should be prohibited. There must be no weakening of the child labor laws of this state. We xecognize the value of capital and labor invested in coal mining in Indiana.

ment.

The Democratic state convention pledges the party to the basic principles of democracy, as stated by Thomas Jefferson, as the creed of

To Training Dogs For Blind Vets

Olathe, Kas„ June 1^.— (UP) — Erich, a shepherd dog, guided his blinded World War veteran-master into court .today to vindicate his

profession.

By Erich’s presence and his master’s testimony, attorneys for R. L. Gray, vice president of the Sheflield Steel Corporation, hope to prove that the steel man’s hobby of training dogs to act as “eyes” for blind veterans is not a nuisance, as charged by suburban residents of Kansas City, Kas. Erich’s almost human intelligence has delivered F. R. Fitzpatrick, Salina, Kas., real estate man, from a state of dependence by guiding him safely through days of business and lines of traffic. And to repay Gray, Fitzpatrick came into court to tell how much Erich

His arrest was made on evidence provided by a state highway patrolman and the fine and cost quickly imposed in the court. He was prosecuted under Burns Act P239, 1905, amended in 1907, which reads: ‘Whoever throws, puts, dumps or leaves any tin cans, old iron, biush, boxes, tools, machinery, vehicles, rubbish, brick, wood, logs, glass, glassware, glass bottles, glass jars, or debris of any kind or character whatever in, upon or within the limits of any public highway, except by direction of the ; Township Trustee, Superintendent, or board of County Commissioners shall, on conviction, be fined in any sum not to exceed $50.00. With state highways serving 90! per cent of the motoring public di-[ rect, patrolmen have .sufficient: work ahead of them to keep suivl faces conditioned, berms dragged and shoulders free of weeds and grass without gathering up debrise tossed into the roadway by careless and unthoughtful people, contends A. H. Hinkle, state highway maintenance superintendent, who is instructing several hundred patrolmen not to hesitate to file affidavits against such offenders. Much of the safety of high speed traffic today depends upon unobstructed sight distances and oh-, stacles such as trash and rubbish dumped into a high speed road j might easily be the direct cause of j a serious accident, aside from the 1 fact that its presence entails unnecessary labor of highway work- j men in removing same. The state road maintenance su-1 perintendent in a bulletin to field | forces today also asked that where possible, efforts be made to persuade land owners to plant low- ) growing crops at road intersections j and on land near sharp turns and j curves, contending that such action | on the part of landowners is most! desirable in behalf of motoring j safety. As a result of several years insistence of this action by highway officials, most land owners cooperate with the commission, and in. only a few cases over the entire state do real hazards exist from this cause.
