TEST SUPPORTS
BELIEF IN FOOD
CHICAGO — (UR) — The tradition
thnt fish food is a boon to mental
fucultles may not be so far fron^the
truth, according to experiments
conducted at Elgin hospital for the
Insane. Certain diets materially af-
fect the mental balance of an indi-
vidual, It was shown.
Psychiatrists affiliated with the
hospital experimented for 1‘2 months
with various diets and their effects
on male patients. One group receiv-
ed a diet heavy In vitamins A, B-l.
B-2 and D, us well as Iron, as found
In liver extracts and cod liver oil.
Another r.roup was given the regu-
lar hospital fare.
Intelligence tests at the end of
the 12 montlts showed that those on
Um dn i had earned the equivalent
of 14.15 months of mental age,
whereas, non-dieters ur.ined only
2 41 months of mental age.
OAKI AND. Cal.—(U.R) — Electric-
ally illuminated highways extend-
ing from coast to coast and from
the Canadian to the Mexican bor-
ders. is the 16-ycar-old dream of
'Gael s. Hoag, secretary of the Lin-
coln Highway association.
And now with rural electrifica-
tion spreading, thus lowering the
test of electricity. Hoag believes
bis dream ;s about to come true.
Tl»e advantages to be derived
from electrical illumination of
highways have already been dem-
mstrated along the "ideal sec-
ou" of the Lincoln highway be-
ween the towns of Oyer and
ediecrville. Ind., close to the 1111-
hols state line. Hoag explains.
This stretch, only one and one- !
third miles long, was constructed
in 1920. Non-glare electric lights
were placed every 300 feet along
the highway and arranged in such
n manner as to illuminate the en-
tire roadway and make driving as
safe at night as In the daytime.
During the two years the illumi-
nation was maintained, not a single
accident occurred.
However, the greatest benefit to i
be derived from illumination. Hoag |
believes, lies in the fact that the
real usefulness of the highways
will be extended to their full value
for the entire 24 hours of the day.
He argues that this 24 hours a .
day of equal usefulness would les- j
sen the pressure and dangers of
daytime peaks of traffic. Truck
•drivers, especially, hp is convinced,
hnce they learn that night driving
I Is as easy and safe as day driving, j
would switch much of their traffic j
'to the night hours, thus lessening i
congestion during the day.
Until such a time as cheap elec- j
trlcal power is supplied generally j
to farmers, illumination of the I
highways, he admits, will not be
feasible from a coast standpoint.
But he Is convinced that it will be j
the next great step In the automo- I
tlve age.
If I am to Judge from correspond-
ence. Several weeks ago the column
was used to discuss a very exas-
perating case
OK. CHB1SMAN
least there is
that had been
diagnosed a s
"Bath Prurigo.”
Prurigo or
pruritls means
merely itching,
according to the
dictionary, but
in real life those
few letters spell
miseries of
many sorts. The
replies that
have accumu-
lated on the
topic p r o v e at
sympathy in the
world, if not a cure for pruritis.
Not only have various forms of
the trouble been reported, but al-
most as many and as varied reme-
dies are suggested.
When we try to explain the dis-
tress of itching it is only an irri-
tation that prompts a desire to
rub. pinch, or scratch. When we
And the cause of the irritation,
and can also find a way to remove
that cause, we have cured the
itching.
For causes we have surface re-
actions on the skin itself, some
unseen condition below the skin,
in the blood stream, or in an ex
citement of the nerve ends that
calls for relief by some method
like scratching.
Treated With Medicine
The latter two are usually treat-
ed by some medicines that will
change the blood stream, reduce
the acidity of the body’s tissue, or
relieve the tenderness or tautness
of the nerves themselves.
But even the Irritations that
arise seemingly from outside influ-
ences get their reactions really
from some condition in the skin
itself. Hence the most superficial
of all the remedies for itching are
those which are rubbed on the
(surface.
There are times, of course, when
.local applications give relief. That
Its when the immediate condition
I in the skin can be neutralized by
some remedy to be applied locally.
This is true in certain forms of
surface eruption like prickly heat,
an occasional dermatitis, or where
a dry skin is likely to draw, and
crack, followed by Itching unless
a local application containing con-
siderable oil Is used frequently.
If you read the previous column
on this topic, you remember L. H.
had this Itching condition almost
intolerably after every dally bath.
His one source of relief was in a
coat of tan in summer or In salt
water bathing when the season
permitted, which brings the idea
that adding sea salt to the daily
bath Is a very reasonable sugges-
tion.
This makes us think of the trace
of iodine or the factor of chlorides
of magnesium and calcium to be
found in salt, and suggests these
factors should be considered in any
remedies to be used either inter-
nally or externally.
Try Some Cure
We are always on the lookout
for relationships. We And cases
that get relief from a good mer-
cury ointment, which is usually
prescribed for the ltcbing In ath-
lete’s foot. When the next person
shows up with an annoying out-
break of hives we give a round of
calomel by the mouth, calomel be-
ing a form of mercury.
The most noticeable comments
on the subject of prurigo, as re-
ceived from correspondents, con-
cerned the difference in reactions
to temperatures. Some use the cold
shower or Ice rub. but they are in
the minority.
Mrs. J. W. P.. who has been a
sufferer from Bath Prurigo all her
life, writes that her panacea is
heat. Hot water, a well wanned
room, warm towels, Insure a bath
In comfort, while any slliato luke
warm water ends in real torture.
Mrs. P. did not change her eHbt or
habits. She Just makes sure of
heat.
A young girl whose Itching fades
into numbness, especially over the
legs during the cold weather, needs
a tonic to tone up her red blood
supply. Also she possibly—notice I
say possibly—needs more covering
on her extremities than a chiffon
stocking when there Is deep snow
on the ground.
PITTSBURGH—(U.R)— Abandoned
coal mines are proving a menace to
Pittsburgh and other western Penn-
sylvania towns, some of which owe
their very existence to the now
worthless workings.
These mines are now under sur-
veillance of Works Progress admin-
istration authorities In Pennsylva-
nia. Property damage caused by
these underground liabilities runs
high. And in some instances even*
houses are destroyed or made unin-
habitable for those persoas unfor-
tunate enough to dwell in the aban-
doned area.
Many of the pits are afire. And
they smoulder for years far under-
ground. usually sending columns of
steam and smoke out of small vents
in the surface. Occasionally minia-
ture eruptions destroy houses and
damage streets.
Sulphurous waters flow from some
of them, polluting streams in the
region and killing fish.
The most dangerous type is that
in which fire is smouldering. The
fire eats gradually through coal
seams until it reaches a point near
the surface. Sometimes live coals
will set fire to a dwelling or damage
a water main. Often, however, the
ground caves in, destroying what-
ever happens to be standing on it.
Approximately 2.103 men will be
given a year's work in 21 counties in
the bituminous region to check the
ravages of the abandoned mines.
The work will be sponsored by the
Works Progress administration.
Officials emphasize that the work
will not only be that of putting out
mine fires, but also to stop pollu-
tion of streams throughout western
Pennsylvania. The mines to be seal-
ed have not been chosen. Releases
must first be obtained from their
owners.

WHAT OKLAHOMA NEWSPAPERS
THINK ABOUT
GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS
• "The American form of government
has stood trte test of time and under
It a great nation has developed. It hus
lived through previous depressions and
will five through this one. Some of the
New Deal legislation was passed In n
hurry, under the stimulus of fear and
such hasty action Is not always con-
ducive to the best of judgment ”
—HE AVENE K LEDGER
January 16, 1936
• "There la one pluise of government
ownership of Industry that has received
leas notice than it deserves: If states,
cities or the federal government take
over such enterprises ns the railroads
and public utllitiea. who Is going to
make up the vast taxes that these con-
cerns now pay to all units of govern-
ment?"
—DURANT DAILY DEMOCRAT
September 9, 1935
• 'Tf anyone still believes that govern-
ment ownership offers a sound solution
ol the railroad problem, they would do
well to read an analysis that recently
appeared Ui the Commercial and Finan-
cial Chronicle, one of the best known
of the business newspapers.
' The Chronicle made a survey of gov-
ernment ownership and operation of
railroads In forrlgn countries. In thir-
teen of these countries, the railroads
did not earn operating expenses during
the last year for which complete figures
are available—and the loss had to be
made up by the taxpayers out of general
funds."

• "The theory on which the TVA was
established la the creation of a model
community, or senes of communities
throughout the southland with the gov-
ernment in the role of Santa Claus
through ila ability to provide so called
cheap power."
—MUSKOGEE DAILY PHOENIX
January 20. 193«
• "If there are sound arguments for
TVA experiments. Its taxpaying ability Is
certainly not among them."
—DAVENPORT DINPATCII
January 23. 1936
• "We consider that the Constitution
forbids the federal government from
meddling with any matter that Is within
the Jurisdiction of a state, or entering
in competition with private business. It
looks to us illegal for the government
to ler>d money to any private business,
person or corporation. While It may
be all right for the government to en-
gage in reclamation work, but in these
Cays of so-called overproduction there
is 'no need of reclamation work."
—OKAKCIIE TIMES
January 10. 1936
• "Industry is afraid of governmental
pplicles. principally of federal origin.
Hurt seek to negate the spirit, and often
the letter of the Constitution. It is
afraid of n spending policy—in which
the federal government has led, and
has been followed by many local units
of government—that has caused our
nationa' debt to reach an all-time high,
that has greatly increased taxes, and
that must inevitably make still higher
taxes necessary."
—THE HILLINGS NEWS
January 23, 1936
• "We do not wish to pose as an alarm-
ist, but there are some things that folks
everywhere should be giving thought
Trend In matters of government ts the
moat vital at the moment. Literally
thousands of mighty good citizens are
permuting themselves, we sincerely be-
lieve against their own sober Judgment,
that the impossible can happen If Uncle
Sain, through elected officials, put his
hand to the task. These folks talk in
billions ns If billions were mere trifles
to be had by adding luxes here und there
