There Is a way and a simple way to rout the racketeer. It Involves national action. It demands a unification of protective measures that never can be subsidized by local politicians and criminals. So closely are these local politicians and criminals allied that the line of demarcation between them Is often Indistinguishable. It Is a deadly truth that the bootlegger never could have grown as he did without political protection he bought with bootleg money. It Is a helpful truth that the passing of prohibition will enable honest officials to break the between thief and cop and so disrupt the gangster organizations the country over. The next few years will see tremendous developments In American If criminal codes and procedures. some decent and sane social order Is to survive, these developments already are appearing obvious In their demands.

Greene, head of the department of pharmacy at Notre Dame, Is correct, says Pathfinder Magazine Professor Greene believes that the proper diet, consisting chiefly of fruits, vegetables, milk and water will enable persons even In these days to attain an age of at least one hundred years. He bases his belief on the answers he receives to a question he sends to every person he hears of who has neared or turned the century mark. He believes that the processed foods of today are responsible for the shorter span of life.
