“Morning Sickness"
“Morning acid sickness” — is caused acid by an be
condition. To avoid it, must
offset by alkalis —such as magnesia.
Why Physicians Recommend
Milnesia Wafers
These mint-flavored, candy-like wafers are
pure milk of magnesia in solid form—
the most pleasant way to take it. Each
wafer is approximately equal to a full adult
dose of liquid milk of magnesia. Chewed
thoroughly, then swallowed, they correct
acidity in the mouth and throughout the
digestive system and insure quick, com¬
plete elimination of the waste matters that
cause gas, headaches, bloated feelings and
a dozen other, discomforts.

Potent Explosive
Is Produced From
Cornstarch Waste
Product Has More Power
Than Nitroglycerin
KANSAS CITY.—An explosive
more powerful than nitroglycer¬
in can be made from the corn
product wastes of the nation, it
was revealed by Prof. Edward
Bartow, president of the Ameri¬
can Chemical society, at the Chem¬
ists’ convention here.
No mere dream is the new explo¬
sive and blasting agent which outdoes
dynamite in potency. Powder compa¬
nies are already investigating the new
material, and if (he costs can be low¬
ered America will not only find its corn
a valuable industrial commodity in the
explosives field but a line of defense
in time of war.
Sugar-Like Substance.
Basie material of the new explosive
is a sugar-like substance, inositol, made
from the waste “steeped” waters in
which corn is soaked as a step in the
manufacture of cornstarch. Inositol,
said Professor Bartow, can be converted
into an explosive known as hexanitro
glycerin, containing six nitrogen atoms.
Ordinary nitroglycerin is technically
known by the chemical name of trini¬
troglycerin and has three nitrogen
atmos.
T*he explosive hexanitroglycerin, Pro¬
fessor Bartow pointed out, lias advan¬
tages over ordinary nitroglycerin be¬
cause it is a solid compound instead of
a liquid and can thus be used directly
as a blasting agent, like dynamite. Its
explosive properties are essentially the
same as those of nitroglycerin.
Advantages Over Dynamite.
Dynamite is useful because it is a
solid material and can be more easily
bandied than a liquid explosive. The
inherent disadvantages of dynamite,
Professor Bartow indicated, is that
while it contains powerful nitroglycer¬
in, the latter must lie soaked up by
sponge-like, non-reacting rare earths.
Tlius the solid dynamite is only part
nitroglycerin. The rest is absorbent
material.
The basic material inositol, from
which such a super-explosive could be
made, has been known for many years
as a laboratory curiosity, said Doctor
Bartow. It could be purchased on the
open market in gram amounts for a
cost of about $500 a pound.
Working at the State University of
Iowa, where he is chairman of the de¬
partment of chemistry. Professor Bar¬
tow and his assistant, Dr. W. W. Walk¬
er, have improved the process for mak¬
ing inositol, so that the cost per pound
is only a fraction of the former price.
Bombs and Shells
May Be Employed
in War on Insects
WASHINGTON.—Man’s war
against insects literally will be a
real one, with real guns, bullets,
“shrapnel,” “bombs” and loud ex¬
plosions, if a new way of exterminat¬
ing these enemies, described in a pat¬
ent granted here to Otto V. Huffman of
Bedford Hills, N. Y., works out as well
as the inventor claims.
Shells loaded with charges of power¬
ful insecticides are to be shot from
guns to explode into clouds of deadly
dust, to envelop trees and fields and
make short work of the insects. In
the same way, bombs or sticks of In¬
secticide are to be exploded like dyn¬
amite to disseminate throughout the en¬
tire surrounding area an ultra-fine in¬
sect-destroying dust.
Can Use Shotguns.
According to the inventor, ordinary
shotgun shells can he loaded in the
usual way with compressed wads or
slugs of insecticides, instead of lead
shot. When such a shell is fired, he
says, the force of explosion projects
the wad or slug of insecticide tike a
bullet, except that after the slug has
traveled a certain distance it breaks
down into a cloud of ultra-fine dust.
At what distance this breakup will
occur depends upon the make-up of the
sing or wad—its compactness and mois¬
ture content. But this distance can be
calculated, and shells can be loaded
and marked to indicate how far the in¬
secticide will travel before it explodes
Into a cloud.
Getting the Range.
Armed with an ordinary shotgun and
as many rounds of these shells as nec¬
essary, the exterminator would go
about the business of warring on in¬
sects something like this:
Say it is a tree he wants to rid of
pests. He first judges the range to the
top of the tree. Then he loads the gun
with the proper shell, aims and shoots.
The slug of insecticide explodes right
over the tree.

Arsenic Becoming
More Important
in Modern Living
Harmfulness to People
Depends on Reaction
/ T'IIE complexities of modern
A life are bringing the general
public more and more into con¬
tact with arsenic and its com¬
pounds. Examination of the blood
and of kidney excretions will
show that all of us are taking
some arsenic, into our systems, Dr. F.
B. Fllnn, director of industrial hygiene
at Columbia University College of Phy¬
sicians and Surgeons, told physicians
at a meeting at the Brooklyn Academy
of Medicine.
The public’s contact with arsenic,
said Doctor Flinn, “is in the food they
eat as a result of sprays, food made
by some process in which it may come
in contact with acid containing ar¬
senic as an impurity, or it may be from
some dye or similar substances.”
Tolerance for Poison.
IIow harmful this may be seems to
depend on a number of factors. Large
amounts of arsenic are poisonous. The
effect of small amounts is uncertain.
Certain susceptible persons may be
affected by mere traces of arsenic
while others show no symptoms though
on-examination they are found to have
pouch larger amounts in their bodies.
A possible explanation of tolerance
to arsenic may depend on the form in
which it enters the body. Some salts
of arsenic do not dissolve readily.
Study of animals shows that when they
are fed a form of arsenic that does dis¬
solve readily, symptoms will always
appear if enough of the arsenic is
given.
Use in ludustry.
Arsenic is not used extensively In
industry, its chief use being in the
manufacture of insecticides. There is
a rapid turnover of workers in this
industry, the men not remaining at
work for any length of time, and this
acts as a protection of the workers.
Mechanical Improvements in the meth¬
od of production and better ventilation
have lowered the hazard.
Other industrial workers who are
exposed to some arsenic are pottery
decorators, carpet makers, rubber com¬
pounders, copper founders and smelt¬
ers, curriers, dye makers, electroplat¬
ers, enamelers, feather curlers, fur
handlers and preparers, wall paper
printers, sulphuric acid workers, metal
refiners, linoleum colorers, galvaniz
ers, glass mixers, lithographers, paper
glaziers, paper hangers, taxidermists
and shot makers.
“A careful analysis of these occupa¬
tions indicates that there are two dis¬
tinct exposures—one to dust and one
to arsene,” Doctor Flinn said. “The
one is a direct exposure inherent to
the work and the other one is an acci¬
dental exposure which may he the re¬
sult of Impurities in the material used."
Home Best Place to
Protect Children
From Tuberculosis
NFAV ORLEANS.—A child
can be better protected from tu¬
berculosis by proper care in his
own home than by spending a few
months or a year in a preventorium.
A study supporting this view was pre¬
sented by Dr. Lewis J. Moorman of
Oklahoma City at the meeting here of
the National Tuberculosis association.
Figures from 18 years’ experience at
the Oklahoma City Tuberculosis Dis¬
pensary were cited by Doctor Moorman.
During this period 1,156 children who
would be considered eligible for pre¬
ventorium admission were allowed to
remain at home but were taught how to
take care of themselves to avoid de¬
velopment of tlie active disease and
were given as careful observation by
the dispensary staff as possible. Of
this number, only one child died of ac¬
tive tuberculosis while under observa¬
tion.
Experience Disappointing.
This iecord, Doctor Moorman pointed
out, bears out the experience of other
physicians who have reported disap¬
pointing results of preventorium care
and have even recommended its discon¬
tinuance.
The object of the preventorium Is to
give the child enough sleep, food and
sunshine so that he' can build up re¬
sistance to tuberculous infection and
thus avoid the development of active
tuberculosis. It ts designed for chil¬
dren exposed to continuous contact
with tuberculosis in the family or
those children already infected with
the germs but not yet sick with tuber¬
culosis.
Noise Standard to Help
the Hard of Hearing
NEW YORK.—Reliable stand¬
ards for the guidance of the 5,000,
000 men and women who need me¬
chanical aids to hearing will re¬
sult from the work of a new commit¬
tee of the American Standards asso¬
ciation.
Headed by Dr. Vern O. Knudsen of
the University of California at Los An¬
geles, a group of manufacturers, spe¬
cialists and users will develop national
standards for measuring noise so that
physicians and the deaf can select de¬
vices to aid hearing with scientific
guidance.

T1 LOOKS more and more like
ly that Paramount and RKO
will merge in the not-so-distant
future, which will mean another
of those upheavals that take place
every so often in the motion pic¬
shuffling ture business.. It's rather like
a pack of cards; the sumo
men hob up over and over.
And, curiously enough, some of those
men are not too competent. One of
the big shots who gets important jobs,
over and over, has consistently been
a company wrecker. (Incidentally, lie’s

"Show Boat" may be pretty hard on
your pocket book, because you’re going
to want to see it over and over again.
Compared with the stage play and the
screen version made years ago, it
comes out on top. A hardened movie
goer who had never liked Helen Mor¬
gan, a man who had seen her at night
clubs and on the stage, capitulated
when he heard her sing “My Bill.” An
other one said he felt as if he’d never
heard “Old Man River” till Paul Robe
son sang it this time. And Irene
Dunne’s dance to “Can’t Help Lovin’

mission all by itself.

A new series of historical shorts Is
under way, and it's about time! Most

possible method of teaching children

tion,” dramatizes tlie writing of “The
Star Spangled Banner,” and it’s fin¬
ished. Some of the other subjects are
Lincoln’s boyhood, the fall of the Ala¬
mo, the drawing up of the Declaration
of Independence, tlie Louisiana Pur¬
