(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
NEW YORK —In Europe a few
years ago, this courier got a
strong impression that old Karl Bae
deker was slyly giving the Germans
I ' the breaks,
Explorer-Writer in his guide
Preparea Guide a book com
On Latin-America ?uendium °f
the compar
ative interest and importance of Eu
ropean show places. His son carried
on and in the long run of the decades
the Germans contrived to reveal Eu
rope to millions of visiting Ameri
cans—particularly school teachers—
through their eyes.
Hence one finds satisfaction in the
news that the South American Bae
deker is being worked up by a man
of German birth who is also a thir
ty-second degree American. He is
Earl Parker Hanson, engineer, ex
plorer, geographer and writer, pre
paring guides to all Latin-American
countries, under sponsorship of the
Nelson Rockefeller committee.
It is revealed that the guides will
spot up their material against a
background of "cultural and his
toric discussions.” That might be
more effective than sending down
hoofers and spoofers, as we have
been. Two volumes, containing
about 800,000 words, will have been
prepared at the end of this year,
under Mr. Hanson’s direction.
Mr. Hanson was born in Ber
lin, of American parents, in 1899,
came to this country in his early
youth, attended the University
of Wisconsin and did graduate
work at the University of Chi
cago. He was the editor of tech
nical publications, beginning his
exploring career in Iceland, fol
lowed by wanderings in the Ca
nadian sub-arctic, where he be
came a friend of Stefansson.
In 1931, he made studies of ter
restrial magnetism for the Carnegie
institution In the basins of the Ama
zon and Orinoco and thereafter de
scribed the expedition in his nota
ble book, "Journey to Manaos."
Mr. Hanson didn't need a guide
book to tell him where Adolf Hitler
was heading. Several years ago he
was on record with a sharp warning
that we’d better do something about
Iceland—that Hitler was staking it
out as a stepping stone in this di
rection.
OWEN D. YOUNG’S farm near
Van Hornsville, N. Y., is some
thing quite unlike the traditional
Sabine farm of the retired careerist,
or sentimen
Returned Farmer talist The
Entere Fight for Youngs
Fair Milk Price parted
farming
around those parts in 1710 and Mr.
Young, battling for the milk farm
ers at Albany, says he is “more of
a returned farmer than a retired
industrialist."
The former head of the General
Electric company and the Radio
Corporation of America, away from
home for a spell and now back with
money in bales and garlands of hon
orary degrees, is in dead earnest
about farming and about a fair milk
price for farmers. He has been in
the campaign for many months now.
Better luck to him than the "re
turned” American Presidents had.
Starting with Jefferson, there were
six of them who returned to their
farms and they all finished in the
red.
Mr. Young has been the coun
try’s champion dollar - a - year
man, but he thinks that’s too
much to ask tor the farmers.
There was a drive to make him
President in 1931, which he hast
ily sidestepped. He said he
didn’t think he had the right
kind of training to sit in the
White House.
He was a farm boy, then a
Boston lawyer, his “earned run"
among his college degrees being
from St. Lawrence university.
He is vigorous and happy at 67,
6 feet 2, a bit heavier than
when he was running corpora
tions, and he still smokes a pipe
with a 10-inch stem. He retired
as chairman of the General
Electric company in 1939.
Some historians think traditional
American democracy was possibly
strangled in the contention between
the Hamiltonian industrialists and
the Jeffersonian agrarians. Mr.
Young is somewhere in between.
His career has widened the area of
“common ground."

Prostigmin
For Cure of
Bad Breath
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
IN LOOKING for the cause
of bad breath, physicians
and dentists look first to some
condition in the mouth—de
cayed teeth,
spongy gums,
infected tonsils,
dry catarrh—or
to some condi
tion of the stom
ach and intestines. While
teeth, tonsils, gums and stom
ach and intestine conditions
can generally be corrected,
the most distressing type due
to dry catarrh—seemed to be
incurable.
Some satisfactory results were ob
tained by the use of a little rubber
bag filled with wa
ter pushed up the
nose and where
possible into the
sinuses and the wa
ter kept hot by
means of electric
ity. This softened
the crusts and when
crusts were re
moved, the odor
disappeared.
__ -Drs. John Rom.
Dr. Barton mell and T. C. Da
vis, Philadelphia,
have had good results by the use of
prostigmin in clearing up chronic
catarrhal and sinus conditions.
Prostigmin is in general use for ton
ing up the muscles of the intestine.
Two Chicago physicians, Drs. L.
B. Bernheimer and Samuel Soskin,
in Archives of Otolaryngology re
port their experience with prostig
min which acts as does ovary ex
tract estrone in heating up and caus
ing an increased supply of blood to
the lining of the nose. The patients
sprayed the lining of the nose four
times a day with a weak solution of
prostigmin.
Results in Twenty Cases.
Twenty patients were treated for
periods varying from one month to
one year. All other forms of treat
ment were stopped except washing
out the nose once or twice daily
so that the prostigmin would be
sprayed directly on lining of nose
instead of on any mucous that had
accumulated. Ozena—the bad odor
—was controlled in all the cases,
usually at the end of second week.
Crust formation was definitely de
creased and in some cases disap
peared entirely.
Three of the patients stopped
treatment for four weeks. In all
three cases the crusting, the bad
odor and the bad throat returned,
showing that treatment must be
kept up if the patient is to be kept
free of symptoms.

Preventing Spread
Of Common Colds
IT IS gratifying to see the interest
■I in backward children now taken
by school officials and teachers.
Anything that can help the back
ward pupil—eye tests, ear tests,
gland—and other physical tests are
made and treatment given to en
able the bov or girl to become a
useful citizen. Everybody recog
nizes the value of this work to the
health and happiness of these chil
dren.
It is, however, difficult to get
school boards to make provisions
for physical examinations by school
physicians and nurses, yet this in
spection and health service would
not only prevent much absence from
school but might save many lives,
as epidemics of influenza and colds
could be prevented.
The common cold is the most
common ailment among children
and adults. One case can cause an
epidemic that will spread through
out the schoolroom and the whole
school, just as it goes through fam
ilies, factories, and stores. If then
this one cause is discovered early
and kept apart from others, there
will be no spreading of the disease.
In some schools pupils are given
a short examination—heart, temper
ature, and throat—before they re
turn to school after the summer,
Christmas and Easter holidays.
This has prevented epidemics of
colds, mumps, measles and other
diseases of childhood from spread
ing throughout the school.
How can colds be prevented in
children and adults? The same rule
applies to both children and adults.
Don't eat too much and don’t allow
yourself to get chilled. Overeating
means too much acid wastes in the
blood and tissues. If the body is
chilled at this time, a cold is likely
to start in certain individuals.
QUESTION BOX
Q.—Is it possible to increase the
stature after one reaches the age
of 21?
A.—At the age of 21, injections of
pituitary or other gland extract is
not likely to increase your height.
However, stretc hing apparatus used
by orthopedic physicians to straight
en spinal curvature might gain an
inch. Also I read recently of de
vices sold to wear in the shoes that
increase height.
