Because electric heating cooling is dean.
So interiors, including furnishings and in
ventories, stay that way.
Because temperatures inside remain
within one degree of thermostat settings.
Because all-electric design saves you
money. Construction costs are lower with
out bulky boilers (and their storage areas),
valves, steam piping and smokestacks.
Because you have more space to rent.
And future expansion is easier.
Because spring is nice — all year long.
There are many more reasons. Let our
commercial engineers tell you about them.

Comment
BY SHARON ABERCROMBIE
Think twice if you think our previous description
of starving multitudes has been exaggerated. To the
contrary, the starvation is worse than any vocabulary
can describe.
Too weak to weep, with understandable melan
choly in agonizing slow-moving daylight hours, home
less and deserted in lonely nights, these pitiful prayer
less people await the certainty of death as a relief.
Every day, they see loved ones faint. They see glazed
eyes, bloated stomachs. They see falling hair, shriv
eled skin and finally the fate of death; a fate they
know they too must face. It is not a pretty picture.
But it is a factual picture. Mahatma Gandhi once
called it, "The Eternal Compulsory Fast.”
These starving people gladly grab a bowl of rice
for a meal — when they can get it. They thankfully
accept a tiny piece of fish to please the palate as a
change in diet — when they can get it. Exaggerated?
No, not when 10,000 people starve to death EVERY day.
The countries in which excessive malnutrition
exist will be shown here next week. You may be sur
prised at the list. Watch for it . . .

Notes On
Chiropractic
By DR. HENRY L. FOLEY
The term, “Whiplash,”
gives the suggestion of
someone snapping a whip,
just as the lion tamer might
snap the
whip to sug
gest who is
boss.
What is the
“whip” that
is lashed or
s n a p p ed in
the injury
known as
"whiplash?”
That whip
is the neck.
It projects upward from the
torso and has a heavy head
setting on the end of it.
Thorneck has in it a col
umn of seven bones, bound
to each other by muscles and
ligaments. While sitting in
an auto that is not in motion
the portion of the body be
low the neck gets some sup
port from the seat. Just as
the rigid handle of the whip
is moved by the hand and
the loose, dangling end is
snapped, or lashed, so, too
is the torso of the body
moved suddenly by the sup
porting seat when the car is
unexpectedly hit from the
rear by another car. The
projecting column of bones
(the neck) which is unsup
ported by the seat is
snapped.
The damage done would
depend upon many factors
such as the degree of relaxa
tion of neck muscles at the
t'me of the impact and
the force of the impact. If
the snapping is great, there
might be some straining of
ligaments, some muscle
spasm and one, or more,
bones of the neck might be
snapped slightly out of nor
mal position, giving irrita
tion to spinal nerves and
pain.
Patients under chiroprac
tic care, have miraculous re
covery from whiplash in
juries.

I REMEMBER ’^
the old timer *
From Hal Kesler, Union
City. Tennessee: I remember
when thrashing time came on the
farms in the Illinois locality
where I was born.
The big steam engine came
down the road, pullingasepara
tor behind. The farmer had made
ready with a big pile of coal or
wood for the engine and the
farmers were assembled with
wagons and field hands to load
the sheaves of grain and haul
in to the machine. There was
great rivalry among the men as
to who w'ere the best band cutters.
They stood on a platform at the
front of the separator and cut
the twine bands and fed the
grain into the machine. At the
back of the machine, a pipe with
a blower blew the straw into a
pile we called a straw stack.
A water boy hauled water to
the engine. Farmers generally
helped one another and the
women cooked everything imag
inable. They set tubs of water
for hand washing and there was
an endless towel on a roller
where each man looked for a
clean spot to dry his hands.
I was always sad when the
whistle blew signifying that the
thrashing was done and the
machines were moving on to a
new job.

ITEM: Water-thinned paint
products, used as recommended,
can be expected to last as long
as high-quality oil paints. The
ability to be applied to damp
surfaces is an advantage of wa
ter-thinned coatings. This does
not apply, however, to solvent
thinned primers.
