The favorite means of disseminating propaganda is through news reports. Interesting and informative, these broadcasts provide pills of bias for the credulous listener. Broadcasts are usually made in several languages. Italy transmits in English, Spanish, Serbian, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Greek, French, Portuguese and Albanian. ' Few continents are more courted by broadcasters than South America. Mussolini, catering to the Latin kinship of his listeners, is making a heavy play for our southern neighbors. But he must combat equally strong efforts on the part of Moscow, Germany and Great Britain. The latter nation has just completed new stransmitters for broadcasts in Spanish and Portuguese to 85,000,000 South Americans. Brasilian Education. But the South Americans themselves appreciate radios value in propagandizing. In Brazil, every radio station must carry a government program from 6:45 to 7:45 p.. m. each day, prepared by the department of propaganda. South America is a natural hotbed of politics, because both Hitler and Mussolini enjoy encouraging the trend to absolutism now prevalent in that continent. But the United States, conscious of South Americas proximity, is not twiddling its thumbs. Both NBC and Columbia have established international broadcasting departments. The former operates 16 hours a day via short wave in six languages, Spanish, Italian, French, German, English and Portuguese. The programs are designed to provide Americas challenge to elaborate short wave systems broadcasting programs throughout the world from powerful stations in Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia, France and Holland.

With domestic radio under federal control, foreign short wave broadcasts can easily be justified as a supplementary service to colonists and other interested parties."

Today they foresake armed force in favor of a more subtle and more effective weapon. Short wave radio broadcasts are fighting the war in Palestine, just as Russia and Germany are adopting an aerial offensive against each other. The whole world is engaged in a terrific battle of microphones, fighting with unending streams of propaganda that preach conflicting political philosophies into the beleaguered listeners ear.

Yet this display of propagandizing is but a tempest in a teacup compared with Europes businesslike procedure. Almost every Old World nation has its governmental department devoted to preaching political doctrine. Germany, like other nations, has a definite policy" of propaganda. Its broadcasts, by intensely powerful short wave, are directed first to reach colonies of overseas Germans wherever they may be, making them conscious of their ties to the fatherland and preaching Nazi philosophy. Germanys second pur Jews have been commonplace and distressing, Great Britain charged Italy was fomenting trouble, wooing the Arabs via short wave broadcast It was discovered that someone had thoughtfully provided Arabs with hundreds of radio sets, conveniently locked so that only Italian stations could be tuned in.

Constipation muddies tiie complexion, dulls the eye and befogs the brain. It causes a general feeling of discomfort and fullness in the abdomen, lack of appetite, bad breath, coated tongue, a feeling of lassitude and a tendency to become easily fatigued. By weakening resistance, it opens the way to numberless diseases. Serious complications, such as irritation of the appendix, may occur as a result of the friction of hard masses of waste against the delicate walls of the intestine. Piles have frequently been laid at the door, of faulty elimination. Do you wonder that I consider prompt, regular elimination the keystone of good health. Its importance is readily understood when you consider the processes by which food is digested and absorbed. FATE OF FOOD IN THE BODY From the mouth, food passes down the esophagus into the stomach, where it is penetrated by the gastric juice. It then passes into the small intestine where it is mixed with the secretions of the liver and the pancreas. Here the nutritive elements are absorbed tubes which by minute, hair-lik- e line the intestinal walls. These tubes converge into the blood vessels and lymphatics which transport nourishment to all parts of the body. Undigested residues pass into the large intestine or colon, where they are normally moved along by a series of muscular contractions known as peristalsis, and finally evacuated The amount of the evacuation varies in bulk with the amount of indigestible roughage contained in the food. When there is insufficient bulk to promote normal peristalsis, waste accumulates and we have the condition known constipation with all its resulting evils. Bacteria prey upon the stagnating material, producing poisons which may be absorbed by the body. case.

Questions Answered WMV C. Houston Ooudiso NEED FOR VITAMIN B Another important factor in pro--1 moting normal elimination is vitamin B, which has been shown to be essential for good muscular tone and activity of the digestive tract. Investigations with experimental animals have demonstrated that it requires twice as long to empty the large intestine when the diet is deficient in vitamin B. Yeast, egg yolk, milk, whole pain cereals, liver and green leafy vegetables are good sources of this vitamin.

LIQUIDS ESSENTIAL A sufficient quantity of liquids is likewise necessary to prevent the contents of the lower intestine from becoming too hard for easy evacuation. In addition to water, the diet should therefore contain an abundance of milk, fruit juices and other beverages. Acidophilus milk and buttermilk are especially beneficial. Fats and oils, used in moderation, act as gentle lubricants. it REGULAR 1033.
