CLARK GABLE EYES
EUROPE JAUNT AGAIN
By 808 THOMAS ‘
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 14—(AP)—
INo sooner does Clark Gable get.
®ack to work then he starts think- |
ing about a vacation again. |
“] work to make a living,” he
admitted as he started work on
“Any Number Can Play.” “I hate|
to get up in the morning and hate |
to go to bed at night.” Clark al-|
ways has four months off between |
pictures and he said he'd like to
spend his next vacation in Europe.
‘I think I’ll take my car over;
and stay four months.” ’
Joan Caulfield is hunting for al
house out here. After a fling at
the stage, she has decided to pur-

Ina 48 pege booklet, a committee of 12 of
the nation’s leading doctors have issued a com-~
pletm of years of research on rheumatism
and itis. »
From their findings a formula called Ru-Tel
was then tested by physicians and clinics and
has achieved remarkable results in relieving the
pains of rheumatism, arthritis, backache and
neuritis. Ru-Te! Tablets are pleasant to take,
do not upset the stomach—give quick soothing
relief, somefimes overnight. Now Ru-Tel Tablets |

““The material side of life can never be preserved
without the savers, the accumulators, the conservers,”
How true are these words coming from the lips of a great
economist. It is so easy to spend money! ;
In this'streamlined age when every suggestion is to spend,
the temptations are great and it ils understandable that many
may be swept away with the desire for possession. It is well
for us to remember however that the inventive genius of mei
will always outstrip our ability to purchase their creations
There must be men and women to save money. Since pioneer
days work and thrift have been enduring principles upon
which our nation grew and expanded. They are no less im
portant now.
The old Epicurean philosophy —“Eat, live and be merry for
tomorrow you di¢” was a false doctrine. It lived solely in the
present and made no provision for the future.
Systentatic saying has no substitute. It builds char
acter, creates independence. Foolish spending is
always a temptation. The man and woman who
walk upright and confident, free from worry, are
they who have learned to walk the straight and
narrow path of thrift.
Like the“V#llage Blacksmith” in Longfellow's immortal poem:
“They look the whole world in the face
For they owe not any man.”

The Poor Man’s Philosopher
| 20,000 TRIPS INSIDE THE HUMAN BODY
| NEW YORK.—(AP)—One man
“who ought to know the human
‘i‘body inside and out is John
{Frederic Erdmann,
‘ That's the way he usually sees
it. In the last 62 years Dr. Erd
{manan has repaired the interior
]plumbing of more than 20,000
people. .
Sprightly at 85, the bald, blue
cyed little doctor is a kind of
living legend in medical circles.
His life has paralleled the growth
of modern abdominal surgery.
He himself has been a great
teacher as well as a famous sur
geon,
Yet, after 20,006 exploring
trips inside Mr. and Mrs. Amer
ica, Dr. Erdmann stick picks up
his scalpel with a fresh sense of
adventure.
{ “Every operation looks differ
ent to you before you've finished
it,” he said.
’ His former pupils tell many
itales of Dr. Erdmann’s exploits.
One concerns a young girl he
|was operating on for a throat

cyst. As was customary in
KHays the operation was perfoym
ed in the patient’s home. ¥
| The anesthetic —unexpectesly
‘affected the girl's heart. It stop
ped beating. Quickly Erdmarn
gave her ariificial respiration.
The heart began again, and the
surgeon completed his wWork. |
Decades passed. One day Dir,
Erdmann was preparing a mid
dle-aged woman patient for ap
lope‘rati?p. She smiled up at him
ana saia;
“Don’t you remember r , Doc
tor? You killed me forty years
ago.”
It was the smalal girl — grown
up. Dr. Erdmann laughed, dnd
brought her through the second
operation successfully.
But the patient Dr. FErdmann
remembers most is Presiednt
Grover Cleveland. He assisted in
a dramatic operation o Cleve
land for cancer of ¢! jaw in
1893. The natioa was in a tumult
over the free coinage of silver
lissue, and to avoid alarm the op
eration was secretly performed
aboard a yacht at sea.
Upper Jaw
Most of the President’s upper
jaw was removed. A hard rubber
artificial jaw was substituted—
and neither Comngress nor the
public learned of the surgery.
Erdmann recalls that when
Cleveland first to come out of
the anesthetic, he turned to him
|.md asked who he was and
where he came from. When he!
¢aid he was from Chillocothe,|
'Ohio, the President repelied:
“Know anybody there named
'Nipgen? And does he need any'
political position?”
b “Why no,” said Erdmann. “John '
Nipgen runs a drugstore there.” |
| “That’s all—thank you, yolng
man,” said Cleveland.
Erdmann still marvels at the'
President’s penomenal memory,
under such circumstances.
“That is the most peculiar man
ifestation of the brain under an
anesthetic in my entire experi
ence,” he said. !
Although cancer strikes one out
of every eight Americans, it has
'bsen less of a presidential haz
ard than assassination. Cleve
land,” who lived until 1908, and
Grant were the only two Presi
dents known to have had cancer.
But three have been assassinal
ed.
In his lifetime Erdmann be
lieves the development of anes
thetic procedures has been the
biggest single advance in sur
gery. "
“Today lung and heart ‘surgery
are on the horizon very strong
ly,” he said. “They are perform
ing operations now that couidn’t
have been attempted back in
1887.”
Red Cross Teaches
Home Care of Aged
| With national attention of med
ical groups in recent years fo
cused cn the facts and problems
of our increasing life span, the
word, “geriatrics” — care of the
eged — has been daded to many
| persons’ vocabularies. Because
‘most chronically ill or aged per
sons .are cared for in the home,
Ithe American ed Cross recently
added ‘the subject in more tan
‘gible form to its course in home
nursing. ‘ ;
! Emphasizing procedures that
will be of practical help in caring
for the aged and chronically ill,
| the course has drawn many stu
!dents, according to reports from
chapters, The District of Colum-
Lia Red Cross chapter, for exam
lple‘ has issued approximately 200
certificates in this supplemented
|course -~ and alal the “students”
ih;.w- been middle aged or even
felder, Most of them either have
j chronically ill or older persons
in their homes.
’ As & result of instruction some
sprightly “students” in their 70's
have helped their elderly contem
poraries toward more comfort by
making for them improvised foot
supports and -pillows to relieve
the discomfort caused by being
confined to .bed. One little old
lady improvisad a back rest for
her elderly husband who !ikes to
ready in bed. A more youthful
student — only middle-aged—is
now improvising containers from
newspapers for waste dispusa! lo
prevent possible infectien to '
chronically ill mother. - And o
“student” in her eighties foun
such containers ideal for pup
venting the problem of —aveiing:
