CARDUI
In this modern time something
wonderfully worth while can be done
for practically every woman who
suffers from functional pains of
menstruation. Certain cases can be
relieved by taking Cardui. Others
may need a physician’s treatment
Cardui has two widely demon¬
strated uses: (1) To ease the im¬

Spodumene Now Made
Available for Many
Uses in Industry
Method for Reduction
Devised by Scient ists
New York.—Few people prob¬
ably ever heard of the little
known, little-used lithium min¬
eral called spodumene, but
; through a process which United
States bureau of mines experts
described here the mineral may
soon help cool your home, im¬
prove the dishes from which
you eat, improve the produc¬
tion of .lithia water you may
drink, help start your motor
car and make a special extra
tough glass.
At the annual meeting of the
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers, Oliver C.
Ralston and Foster Fraas of the
bureau's scientific staff told of the
simple method by which spodumene
c.an be separated from other min¬
erals with which it is associated in
nature. Lack of use of the mineral
| has, in the past, been due to the ab¬
sence of such a separating process.
Easily Reduced in Lime Kiln.
Heating the mineral in a lime
kiln, it has been found, reduces the
spodumene to a chalky white mass
which can be crumbled in the fin¬
gers while the remaining minerals
in the ore remain strong. Even
farmers and miners with home¬
made kilns can use the method with
considerable success.
The fine dust resulting from this
treatment is about 80 to 90 per cent
pure, and from many localities
this product will be of acceptable
purity. It is much better adapted
to use in making lithium chloride
than the original hard, dense spodu¬
mene. It is also ready to be used
in a glass batch, unless nature
happened to put magnetic iron min¬
erals in the ore, in which case a
preliminary removal of iron min¬
erals would be needed.
The pottery makers have desired
to use spodumene, but it has been
unacceptable because of the fact
that at the temperature of a lime
kiln it tended to expand and tear
pottery to pieces. The beta spodu¬
mene formed by the heating and
now to be sifted out of the heated
ore has already been expanded and
does not have this disadvantage.
Therefore potters are urged to for¬
get ordinary spodumene and to try
beta Spodumene.
Temple Carved in
Solid Rock Is
Found in Mexico
MEXICO CITY. — Buildings
chopped from a single piece of
solid mountain form the strang¬
est ancient ruins ever found in
Mexico.
They cover an entire summit
overlooking the present town of
Malinalco, whose name means
Place of Twisted Grass, and which
is in the state of Mexico, westward
from Mexico City.
One structure completely excavat¬
ed now—the usual »temple - topped
pyramid—has broad stairs on one
side,' the steps and wide stone bal¬
ustrades likewise part of a single
piece. Only here and there, where
the rock would not reach some far
corner of the projected building, did
the ancient mason have to fill in na¬
ture’s lack with artificially cut stone
block.
Door Is a Snake’s Mouth.
A number of features make this
building unique. One walks into the
temple on top through an uninvit¬
ing door formed by the yawning
mouth of a giant stone snake. The
temple itself is round, a shape rare
! in Mexico and one generally asso
ciated with the Wind God. A low
stone bench follows the wall around
j inside. The roof, wood, probably of per¬
ishable stuff like is gone.
For trimming, this one - piece
structure has mainly tigers, snakes
and eagles. A carved stone tiger sits
on a pedestal by the side of the
stairs, his head missing. On either
side of the snake-mouth door are
] carved such eagle represented and tiger-knights, the two old
as
Mexican Indian military orders.
| The one is on a huehuetl, other, or wood¬
en war drum; the on a
j | snake's round head. inside In the middle eagle-head of the
room are
| carvings.
Further excavations are now be
' ing made at this novel site of Malin
| alco. These are under the direc
| tion of Jose Garcia Pavon, Mexican
archeologist, who is finding various
| other buildings like this one. Some
I of the stairways still have traces
i of ancient paintings.

Source of Prophecy
Lies in Careful
Study of Nature
Example Is Found in
Chemical Reaction s
TTARIED, V indeed, are the
ways in which man’s appe¬
tite for prophecy manifests it¬
self. The gypsy fortune teller,
the spiritualistic seance, the
scientific laboratory, all are
motivated in part by man’s de¬
sire to lift that persistent veil
which obscures the'future.
Gradually man has 'come to re¬
alize that the only reliable source of
prophecy lies in the disinterested
study of nature herself. Laboriously
collectingfacts, he formulates laws.
As to Chemical Reactions.
One of the more difficult realms
of scientific prophecy is that of
chemical reactions. A chemist
knows that if certain chemicals can
be made to react a needed sub¬
stance will be created. But will
the chemicals react? Usually no one
knows until someone tries it.
Now the chemicals have a quality
which is analogous to un-happiness
in the romantic illustration. The
chemist calls it "free energy” and
knbws that if a reaction between
two chemicals will lessen their free
energy ("thermodynamic unhappi¬
ness”) then and only then will the
reaction occur.
So, in order to make a prophecy
concerning the likelihood of a chem¬
ical reaction, a chemist has to cal¬
culate the free energy of the com¬
ponents before and after the re¬
action. If it turns out that the free
energy is greater in the combined
state it means that the chemicals
are happier single, and can never
be induced to unite.
Calculating Free Energy.
The calculation of the free en¬
ergy of a substance is sometimes no
easy task. Often involved is the
“third law of thermodynamics,” a
law whose validity is still subject to
discussion. Recently, however, two
scientists at the University of Cal¬
ifornia, Drs. C. C. Stephenson and
W. F. Giauque, have published re¬
sults which prove that for certain
substances the third law is accurate¬
ly valid.
In order to know how much free
energy a substance has, another ab¬
stract quality called “entropy”
must be known first. The third law
states that, at the absolute zero
of temperature, any crystalline
solid has zero entropy. Knowing
this, the chemist can calculate how
much entropy the substance accu¬
mulates as its temperature rises to
the value he is concerned with.
Odd Statistics About
Widowed and Divorced
New York.—Widowed and
divorced men are more likely,
on marrying again, to marry
spinsters than widowed or di¬
vorced women are to marry
bachelors.
These observations, which do not
necessarily imply personal prefer¬
ences-, are based on a study of mar¬
riage data collected in New York
state exclusive of New York City
for the years 1932, 1933, and 1934.
Analysis of the marriage figures ap¬
pears in the statistical bulletin of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance com¬
pany.
Divorced persons, more often than
widows or widowers, take for sec¬
ond consorts persons not previously
married.
Divorced men who do not take
spinsters for second wives are more
apt to marry divorcees than wid¬
ows. Divorced women, on the con¬
trary,’ if they do not marry bach¬
elors are more apt to choose a wid¬
ower than a divorced man.
Those who go in for many mar¬
riages are distinctly less likely to
marry a single person than are
those who have been married only
once before.
Causes of Plant Cancer
Are Sought in Bacillus
New York.—A phosphorus
containing material, relatives
of which are found in the hu¬
man brain and liver, has been
isolated by Drs. Erwin Char
gaff and Michael Levine of the
College of Physicians and Sur¬
geons at Columbia university
and Montefiore hospital from
the body of a bacillus that
causes tumors in plants.
In plants there is a well-known
disease, the crown-gall, which bears
a slight resemblance to tumors in
animals. It is produced by the ba¬
cillus tumefaciens.
Using the chemical methods de¬
veloped by Dr. R. J. Anderson of
Yale university, who recently puri¬
fied an acid from tubercle bacilli
which produces symptoms of tuber¬
culosis itself when injected into an
animal, they are engaged in analyz¬
ing the crown-gall germ. Their first
results show that it contains a phos¬
phatide which stimulates rapid cell
multiplication in plants.

Talks About ®
Inherited Overweight.
'IX/'HEN V a patient consults a phy
v sician regarding a reduction
in his or her weight one of the first
questions the physician will ask is
about the parents, grandparents,
uncles, aunts and cousins. If there
is a “tendency” to overweight on
the side of either of the parents,
the physician knows that the weight
reduction is likely to take some
time.
Dr. Barton
or circumstances occurring in a non¬
stout group of women; (2) the in¬
cidence or occurrence of overweight
in the parents of the stout group
as opposed to that in the parents
of a non-stout group; (3) the body
build of the progeny or children of
different matings with especial ref¬
erence to inheritance of build.
Fifty-five women who were defi¬
nitely not stout were chosen at ran¬
dom as “controls” (that is, for com¬
parison because they were of nor¬
mal weight and build). These “con¬
trols” were of the same age group
as the stout women and had prac¬
tically the same number of opera¬
tions and the same number of chil¬
dren — operations and childbirth
were named'by both groups of wom¬
en as the time at which they noticed
the great increase in weight. Others
reported that the great increase in
weight came oh at puberty (14 to
16 years of age) and others that it
came on at the change of life (45
to 50 years of age).
When the “build” of the parents
of the stout group and of the con¬
trol group is investigated a differ¬
ence in the occurence of over¬
weight is noticed.
Many Had Stout Parents.
Of sixty-one stout women whose
family history was easily investi¬
gated, twenty-six t had moth¬
a stout
er, nine had a stout father, and fif¬
teen had both a stout mother and a
stout father. In contrast to all this
stoutness in the family history, of
the forty-seven not stout patients
whose family history was also
easily investigated, fourteen had a
stout mother, one had a stout father,
and three had both a stout mother
and a stout father.
Thus in the non-stout group there
was a total of 33 per cent with
cither one or both parents stout
as opposed to 82 per cent in the
stout group.
A study of the progeny or children
of different matings is of interest.
There were 89 children from mat¬
ings of stout persons, 65 of whom
were stout:- Of the 170 children of
matings of a stout and a not stout
person, 70 were stout: of the 176 chil¬
dren of matings of persons who
were not stout only 16 were stout.
This would show that while in
stout individuals there are cell ele¬
ments which tend to leanness, in
thin or non-stout individuals there
are apparently no cell elements that
tend to stoutness.
It is in the cases with an “in¬
herited” tendency to overweight
that a physician is justified in using
gland extracts. Where th» excess
weight is distributed all over the
body, the thyroid extract may be of
help. Where the excess weight is
over abdomen, hips and shoulders,
with forearms and lower legs slend¬
er. the use of extract of the anterior
| pituitary ing the gland floor (the of the little skull) gland should ly
on
| give results.

Planning Health and Energy.
j his When income the business will take man plans of that
I care ex¬
penses. he is said to budget his fi¬
nancial undertakings. A great men”
housewives work on or use a bud¬
get, putting aside so much for rent,
for food, for fuel, for clothing, for
medical and dentai attention and
a little for the savings bank.
It would seem then that it would
be only good sense if each and
every one of us were to budget our
health, our energy, so that we could
do all that was possible for our
health or energy to do without rob¬
bing ourselves and so causing ill
health and lack of energy.
Dr. George Crile. in his book “D:s
eases Peculiar to Civilized Man”
shows how the insane desire for
speed of all kinds which afflicts
and sometimes seems like to ruin
this rather mad generation, is the
cause of such well recognized ail¬
ments as ulcer of the stomach and
intestine, increase in the activity
of the thyroid gland in the neck,
so that all the processes of the body
are driven at an increased rate of
speed, weakness of the muscular
and nervous system, and brought
about the knowledge of how to cure
these conditions by cutting the trans¬
mission between the brain and the
overdriven organs.
1 he treatment is for the physi¬
cian to show the patient that it is
o\ erspending of energy in work or
play that is causing the symptoms.
