“Your Health” This Column is conducted by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the Interest of the public’s health. Cigarette Advertisements Indiana physicians resent the implication that the medical profession has endorsed the use of any certain brand of cigarette as a cure and a relief for throat irritation, according to a bulletin issued today by the publicity bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association. The bulletin follows : ‘‘As one physician says, it’s all ‘bunk’ about my one certain brand of cigarettes being preferential to any | other brand as a preventive of throat! irritation and as a special protection for the voice. “This campaign is nothing more nor less than a clever advertising man's idea and as far as we can learn no scientific research has been .made which would justify such an implication or inference. “The Medical Review of Reviews of New York, a publication well known to the medical profession, has gained the opinions of many of the leading physicians throughout the country concerning such advertising. Most physicians approached expressed their resentment and urge the public to be on its guard against accepting endorsements by a small minority as

(he authentic opinion of the 140.000 physicians of this country. "Any advertisements which claim or infer that the endorsements which this company received for its particular cigarette represent the authentic voice of the 140,000 physicians of the United States is incorrect as the only organization which is authorized to speak for the whole profession is the American Medical Association. “Among some of the typical answers received by the Medical Review of Reviews from physicians in regard to this type of advertising are the following: “‘1 think this form of advertising is pernicious and unfair. There is no scientific basis for any of the claims made for toasted tobacco. In my own case, the company advised me that 1 had written a favorable report of their cigarette. I do not remember ever having penned one word about it. Futhermore, I am a non-smoker. Your enterprising effort is a public service.’ “ ‘The advertised toasted kind have always irritated my throat.’ “ ‘They sent each physician a carton of cigarettes—gratis—with it the questions with return post cards, very convenient and no trouble, so they would get back many favorable replies. I did not answer the questions but smoked the cigarettes and coughed as usual. It is not a scientific survey—far from it.’ “'I have amused myself momentarily by reading the various testimonials. and have wondered how long it would be before the whole scheme would be labeled bunk.’ "In short any one certain brand of cigafbtte may be a life-saver for a publicity-mad soprano but it or any other cigarette won't keep all humanity from having an occasional throat irritation." —o PORTLAND’S MOVIE CENSOR DRIVES FANS TO SUBURBAN SHOWS By George D. Crissey, UP Staff Correspondent Portland, Ore., Dec. 13. — (UP) — Spicy bits on the legitimate stage are quite all right but the same scene in the movies in Portland constitutes a grave error and calls for drastic scissor action. Portlanders must not look upon movie kisses which are too long. Similar restruction, however, is not placed on movie fans of villages of the “back,, country." Such is tt a status of censorship in Oregon. There is no state censorship law, so the villages escape the penalty of seeing only that which censors rule is nice. Portland, the one large city of the state, has a censor board which leaves no doubt as to its willingness to function. But, strangely enough, the powers of the Portland board of motion pictures censors appears to be limited to the silver screen. Ten nude girls

may not appear in films exhibited here. But HI nude girls Would appear on the stage and never a word would the board say. although the police might say and do considerable. Not that 10 undressed bits of femininity , have ever appeared on a local stage! but 40 one-quarter clad girls have and I any mathematician knows that they J are equivalent to 10 entirely disrobed i flappers. Portland is only one of several ‘ large cities having a picture censor board but perhaps no similar group 1 lias commanded the same degree of 1 publicity. 1 For example, there is the time the : i board ruled that a drawing of a nude girl on a theater program was improper and ordered the management to cover her rawness before circulating the programs. Vainly theater men protested that she was a reproduction of Spanish I art but they were told that no bull j fighters were in Portland. And so the entrancing curves of Spain’s best was wasted behind the blankness of thick bond paper which was pasted over all the figure’s head. The censor board is composed of three members, one of whom represents the movies. The other two do not. They are appointed by the mayor and are assisted by a staff of 70, mostly women, viewers. These viewers are given monthly assignments and scan every picture before it is exhibited. Presumably they say: “Cut that kiss by eight feet," or “undressed chickens are limited to fowls.” And that is the reason why, as frequently happens, a rabid fan will

journey to Gresham or other nearby village when the film makes what apparently is a broad jump. But the board and its viewers go on cutting and in most instances a cut stays cut. The city council, however, is the board of appeal, and upholding the censors is infrequent. As a rule, however, the cutting goes on without interference for it is easier for an exchange man to'cut out footage than to wade through an official council hearing. RESOLUTION In memory cf Mrs. Cathrine Brake who died November 15, 1927, The angel of death has entered our midst and we are called to mourn the loss of a faithful friend and sisted. We cherrish her memory tenderly at a true friend and sister. We shall meet her again in a blessed reunion after life’s work is over and greet her in the land where our Heavenly Father has prepared a place of eternal rest for his Faithful Children and there we will realize more fully that her love and truth has not been in vain. Resolved that the Catholic Ladies of Columbia Council No. 20, Decatur Indiana in testimony of our loss be draped in mourning for official time and that we send the family our deepest sympathy in their affliction and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and Index and a copy be spread on the minutes of the book.
