MOST AILMENTS
EASY TO CHECK
AT EARLY STAGE
The 1934 meeting of the Indiana
State Medical association offered to
Indiana doctors a wealth of techni
cal Information on the latest devel
opments in the treatment of human
ailments, but its most significant
phase from the standpoint of laymen
was the emphasis placed on the Im
portance of diagnosis and treatment
of disease in its early stages. When
an ailing patient goes to a doctor
for treatment, the responsibility for
using all that science knows in com
bating the ailment lies with the doc
tor. The primary responsibility of
seeking competent medical advice at
the first suggestion of trouble, how
ever, rests with the patient.
The emphasis in medicine in re
cent years has graduated from at
tempted cure of disease after It has
developed, to disease prevention.
While treatment of disease in its
early stages is not true prevention,
It virtually Is next to prevention.
The medical profession has shown
that many of the dread illnesses of
the body often are curable If the
treatment begins in the early stages
when symptoms first appear. If a
person values his health, he first
will observe simple precautions in
living that will prevent disease and
at tlie same time will act quickly If
symptoms of an aliment appear.
Speakers on the subject of cancer, I
at the doctors’ meeting, were au
thority for the statement that most
of the toll of life claimed by the dis
ease would be prevented If victims
recognized potentialities of danger
in small skin growths, irritating
sores that fail to heal and unnatu- :
ral bleeding and lumps in organs of
the body. In its struggle against the
ravages of cancer, science lias
learned control In most cases If the
disease still is In its infancy, but Is ;
baffled If cancerous growths have !
developed too far. — Indianapolis

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
Croperly prepared liquid laxative will
ring a more natural movement with- |
out any discomfort at the time, or
after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
varied to suit the needs of the in
dividual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is a natural laxative. It does |
not drain the system like the cathar
tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on senna for its
laxative action. It gently helps the
average person’s constipated bowels
until nature restores their regularity.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for use.

Whole Nation Benefited
by Great World’s Fair
By WILLIAM C. UTLEY
CHICAGO’S A Century of Prog
ress exposition Is over. Truly
worthy of the time-worn bill
ing, “Tlie Greatest Show on
Earth," It attracted 38.806,843, paid ad
missions, more than any other world's
fair anywhere, any time. A total of
22.320.456 paid to see It In 1933 ami
16,486,387 in 1934. On the final day,
October 31. 193-1, 372,127 persons tilled
: the grounds to bld the Pair farewell.
Conceived In the sky-scraping
heights of a free and easy prosperity,
it was born In the subterranean dark
ness of a heart-sickening depression,
, amid a national chorus of “don’ts”
and “noes" ami a world wide ballet of
l apprehensive shivers. From tlie rags
and tatters of Its early boyhood. It
rose, like the stripling "Sink-or-Swim,”
“Strive-and Succeed" hero of a Hora
| tlo Alger novel, with its chin up and Its
eye clear. Into a prosperous young
business giant, and married the boss’
daughter.
It jiald off. More than that. It will
. likely show a comfortable profit. That
: Is something unheard of in Interna-
I tional expositions. No world’s fair, not
even the World’s Columbian exposition
of 1893, generally held up as the shin
ing example, ever returned to the good
fairies who financed it more than 10
per cent of the glittering millions they
showered into Its coffers. No one ever
i expected the others to pay off. Few—
except the skillful pilots at the helm—
ever expected this one to repay dollar
: for dollar.
The 1933-1934 World’s Fair has al
' ready made itself felt as a stimulus to
■ business In Chicago, tlie Middle West,
I and throughout the nation.
Before two hours had passed since
the opening of the exposition In Its sec
ond season, on May 26 of this year, the
I official register tn the Sears, Roebuck
I building had recorded visitors from all
| forty-eight states and fifteen foreign
| countries.
Os the 89,000,000 visitors more than
■ 15,000.000 were from outside Chicago.
I They came from the four corners of
I the land. California and Florida rated
: among the highest of the states In
; Fair attendance. All of the tourists
and travelers that these and other
! states, north, south, east and west.
। sent to the Fair spent money on their
way to Chicago, in Chicago and on
their way home.
Visitors Spend Freely.
Before leaving for the Fair, out-of
town visitors prepared for the journey.
They bought new shoes, hats, clothing.
If they drove, they had their cars put
Into first-class condition by local me
chanics. They spent money on the
way in hotels, restaurants, filling sta
tions, garages. If they came long dis
tances, they stopped off to learn the
charms and fascinations of interme
diate cities and spent money In them.
Some six or seven million bought
; railroad rickets. Another two or three
I million rode motor coaches. Either
way, they spent money which the
i transportation lines will. In many
I cases, spend again along the routes of
travel.
In Chicago itself, the association of
I commerce of that city estimates, they
■ spent S7O.(XXI.(XX). Much of this In the
natural course of exchange will pour
hack to manufacturers and Industries
throughout the country, helping to
make more jobs, create new wealth
and new spending power.
The money spent during the period
of the exposition Is only a start. Desires
created among potential buyers by the
exhibits at the Fair will affect their
spending for years to come. Millions
for the first time felt at the Fair the
comfort of air-conditioned houses.
Farmers saw for the first time the
manifold advantages of prefabricated
steel barns. Housewives learned the
charm and efficient simplicity of the
newer modes In furniture, saw how
their housework could be lightened and
their leisure time increased by simple
household appliances. Business men
saw for the first rime new machines
that can do practically all of the audit
ing and calculation in a business office.
Builders learned the amazing things
that have already been done with pre
fabricated houses and buildings.
Nation’s Spending Power.
Generally, the millions who saw the
air represented the spending power

communities. They have already
bought and will continue to buy count
less articles which were primarily Im
pressed upon them at the Fair.
A Century of Progress and its exhib
itors and concessionaires created em
ployment at the Fair for more than
40.000 persons. Half A million men
and women were given jobs lasting
from a few months to two years, be
fore the Fair opened. Only 115.-
000 of these jobs, which were largely
concerned with preparing exhibits and
construction materials, were In the Chi
cago area. Thousands of the workers
during the Fair period were recruited
from outside Chicago. The money
which all of these workers earned will,
at least In part, be spent In their home
communities Much of the $50,000,000
spent for construction and maintenance
before the Fair opened found its way
out of the Illinois metropolis.
Perhaps no less Interesting or Im
portant than its economic effect was
the cultural effect of the Fair. With
gay shows, colorful “foreign villages,"
dozens of unusual spectacles and
bountiful free entertainments competing,
the Hall of Science drew more than 34,-
OW.OOO visitors, some DO per cent of
the total attendance. Over 4,000,000
visited the Hall of Religion. More
than 2,000.01X1 persons visited the Art
Institute's $75,000,000 display, despite
the fact that it was not even located
on the exposition grounds. Band
shells for rwo great symphony orches
tras were always filled.
Investors Are Paid.
What the effect of A Century of
Progress will have upon the exposi
tions of the future Is easy to foretell.
Here Is an exposition which asked for
no grants of money from anyone, and
got none. Before the market crash of
1929, its sponsors went out and got
$6,500,000 In pledged loans, many of
them through the Influence of Charles
Dawes, who from the start was the
financial guiding genius of the Fair.
Though collection was not begun until
after the crash, more Chan 98 per cent
of the money was collected immediate
ly. Every one of these Investors, plus
others who raised the total to $10,000,-
000, has been paid back. Subsequent
fairs will have a difficult time getting
the government windfalls of the past
In the face of that record.
A Century of Progress, further, did
not give space away to exhibitors, as
other Fairs had done. It made then;
pay $lO a square foot, and sold them on
the idea, even In the face of depression
and careful Industrial economy every
where.
A Century of Progress offered no
gold medals and no blue ribbons to
exhibitors. There were no competi
tions. Right there was eliminated
much of the dull repetition of former
fairs. Manufacturers were not re
quired merely to present their finished
products, polished and prettied-up,
courting tire fancy of the judges. They
were allowed to show how their prod
ucts were made, and they did. Mo
tion was everywhere; static was poison.
Visitors saw industry with the wheels
turning and the covers off. There was
another mark for world’s fairs of the
future to shoot at.
In the Hall of Science visitors could
see actual laboratory experiments In
pure science, gripping In their drama
of man's light against the darkness of
Ignorance and for the torch of progress.
In the exhibit buildings they saw how
this science was applied In the actual
process of every Industry, from the
making of silk hosiery to automobiles.
The fascination of it all was a draw
ing power few could resist. Persons
of small means traveled hundreds of
miles on horseback, on bicycles, on
foot, to see it Some bartered their
way In with eggs, chickens, farm pro
duce. One girl, arriving broke from
the Northwest, wanted to trade her
favorite horse for admission and sus
tenance Inside. Large groups banded
together and came In single trucks,
sleeping under the stars en route nnd
eating army wartime rations, meted
out carefully by their leaders.
And on the closing night more than
372,(XX) Fair fans braved the chill Oc
tober weather, staying “till the last
dog was hung” In early morning, while
hundreds of thousands more thronged
outside the gates because there was no
room to get In.
Contemplating Figures.
With the Fair gone forever the hey
day arrived for the master minds whose
unholy joy Is the business of figuring
out how far all the world’s fair visitors
would have stretched If laid end to
end, and all that. As a matter of fact
they would have stretched more than
sixteen times around the earth at the
equator If none of them drowned lying
In the oceans.
The lights which made a dreamland
out of the Fair by night drew enough
current to supply a city of 60,000 for
a whole year. The Intra-grounds buses
carried 24,0<X),000 passengers an ag
gregate total of the equivalent of seven
trips to the moon, with plenty of mile
age left over. Concesslonnalres sold
10,000,000 hamburgers, 5,000,600 hot
dogs, 4,000,000 boxes of pop corn and
a million bowls of chill concarne, in
addition to the millions of complete
meals served in the restaurants, prov
ing that Fair visitors, like armies,
travel on their stomachs.
All of this must have been more than
gratifying to Rufus Dawes, his brother,
former Vice President Charles Gates
Dawes, Lenox R. Lohr, general man
ager, and the others who did what the
whole world said couldn’t be done In
what was virtually the worst time In
history to try doing IL
What Is to become of many of the
memorable features of the Fair? Much
of the contents of the Hall of Science
is being moved to the Museum of Sci
ence and Industry In Chicago. All his
torical exhibits of the Ford building
are going to Henry Ford's museum In
Dearborn, Mich. Sally Rand and her
fans are going on tour, as is the cast
of the Old Globe theater. Industrial
exhibits are in some cases being dis
mantled, In others being Installed as
permanent exhibits in the plants ol
their exhibitors.
At present, crews of workers are go
ing about their gruesome task of re
moving the corpse from Chicago's beau
tfful lake front.
A Century of Progress is gone for
ever.

MILK ACT UPHELD
BY SUPREME COURT
Small Dealers Are Unable to
Get Relief.
Washington.—Small business men
who are squeezed out of existence by
recovery legislation can look for lit
tle relief from Hie Supreme court, that
tribunal ndlcated, in again upholdinr
the New York milk control act.
In ruling for a second time on the
validity of tlie New York emergency
milk control law, the Supreme court
declared that where small business
units are “unable to keep pace with
the stronger" under recovery laws, the
court cannot intervene.
“It is their comparative inefficiency,
not tyrannical compulsion that makes
them laggards in the race,” the court
ruled, but it also warned that, “whether
a wise state craft will favor or con
demn this exaltation of the strong is
a matter of legislative policy with
which courts are not concerned.”
Tlie court's decision was read by
Associate Justice Benjamin Cardozo. It
was tlie court’s second ruling on the
New York milk law, an intrastate re
covery law.
The liegeman Farm corporation of
New York in its plea to the court had
declared that the law was forcing it
to operate at a loss because the mini
mum purchase price and the selling
price stipulated did not allow It a
margin large enough to bring a fair
return on its investment. Justice Car
dozo, In effect, replied that as long ns
efficient companies could operate suc
cessfully, the liegeman company could
find no relief in appealing to the
courts.

LEAVE CHILD TO
MOTHER NATURE
Certain Amount of “Shaping”
Will Do the Rest.
He was a rough-and-ready young
man and a father. He wasn’t one
to whom you could mention child
training. He knew all about it. Tlie
“cranks" who were turning tlie world
upside down trying to make ninnies
of children simply disgusted him.
When the baby was born he rum
pled him to make him tough.
One wouldn't have dared to tell
him that buried deep in the baby’s
nature was its own alloy hardening
that nature would bring out In time,
making a far better mixture than a
top layer Hint wasn’t the real thing
at all and would probably slough off
in the wear and tear of life.
Gradually the child ceased to be
an object for experiment with his
father. He became a person. He
could think and act and originate
thought, and smart thought, too.
Without realizing what had hap
pened, this man fell in love with
his child. He became gentler w'itli
each mouth. He began to co-operate
and encourage his son in hi* little
hobbles and play. He ceased making
fun of him and repeated the words
of baby wisdom.
And then the miracle happened.
It was the first time I had ever heard
a man say it, much less an opinion
ated man.
He said, “You know, I believe that
the more you let children alone and
allow them to work out their own
little plans the better off they are.
I don't have any patience with all
this new-fangled stuff about guid
ing and molding and so on. Just
let them do tilings they want in their
own way, unless it’s something that
they just have to be told.”
Then for the first time I said,
“That is all we want. It Is all we
are working for. You have just stat
ed the sum total of all the new train
ing, as you call it. We just want to
give nature a chance. Nature is
smarter than we are. We ask that,
and the examples of a good home,
love and sensible parents. Not an
other thing.
“Don’t lean backward and think
Billy doesn’t need a bit of shaping.
Too bad, but he has to live in a
world of people, not the woods, and
he has to make some adjustments.
But you’re right, even here. En
courage his best qualities and keep
him busy. There won’t be much time •
or room then for tlie other.”
