QAISFORD, JR.. -EDITOR The Cost of Illness There is another thing that in as sure hh death and taxes -sicknem. The average American man is ill once a year; the average American woman nearly twice am often ; the child of school age twice as often. These are figures taken from a study made by the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care, which is coming to the end of a five year study of the economic aspects of the prevention of diwnse and the care of the sick. These illnesses total abont i:K),(KMf,()()0 every year. Their direct cost in money is computed by the Committee at $3,105,000,000. This in a huge cost, reckoned either in terms of time lost or of money expended. The cost would be huge even if we vould foresee just when we will fall ill, jiwt how serious the illness will be, or just how long it will last. None of those things, however, can be foreseen, and to all the other burdens that illness imposes upon us must be added uncertainty. Uncertainty Un-certainty exists not only as to appearance and character of illness, it is even more a factor with relation to cost. No problem prob-lem enters into the daily lives of Americans that it more serious than this. Medical facilities in the United States are adequate in the aggregate, perhaps. The committee has found that 1,500,000 people devote their full time to medical care. There is one physician to every 126 inhabitants. Over 7,000 hospitals have J)00,000 beds, which would give every man, woman and child one and one-half days owupaney a year. But neither physicians physici-ans nor hospitals are evenly distributed; there are places that have too many, and many more that have too few. ' p OC(Q)DJ JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D Radio and Health Radio, the crowning achievement of its time, and one of our greatest blessings, may be degraded to a mere matter of dollars and cents, when mankind descends wholly to that level. Did you ever think that your receiving set may lead you headlong head-long into the open arms of the nostrum-vender and quack, solely sole-ly in the interest of his pocketbook! That you are made poorer poor-er and he the richer by your own soft gullibility? It gives me a first-rate case of nausea to hear the blatant yawl of some hired man for a quack concern, pleading with me and you to go to the drug store, first thing in the morning and BUY a bottle of germ-killer that knocks 'em in a specified nuniber of seconds ! These fellows that never crossed the threshold of a pathological patho-logical laboratory in their lives, presume to tell ine about " bacterid bac-terid " They infer off-hand that you and I have a mouthful neckful, stomachful of potent germs, deadly in character, if not killed off at once by the great bottled savjor of mind and body; they juwjrle handily with laboratory terms, as though they had been ra;d on test tulws and retorts and chemical reactions: all to gel Y0lT and ME t BUY their gully wash and sok it into our aiybteuis. And do we buy it t We certainly do: we, buy, stni t of whyjlv we know absolutely nothing, at the solicitation of an itinerant who is solely interested in the sum he can extract from your purses, ami who knows and cares nothing about the stuff he is iaid to peddle. lie gets his pabulum into the family, into your children, into you and your wife and if you all use it four or six times a day all the better for the nostrum-vendor. For. nine out of ten. you could use hot water and boracic acid with better results at one-twentieth the cost. A good rule for the rural radio-fan is, to believe nothing he hears from a paid propagandist. He has an ax to grind, and you, dear reader, have been picked out to turn the grindstone. Summon your horse sense; that's my advice. I HOW IT IS DONE! The Hindu charms the snake out of the grass basket.

Mr. Moffat Just completed his second year of Pre-Legal work. He received a straight-A average. Congratulatory cards were sent by the scholarship committee to all honor students. These include all students who have an average of 1.15, which to slightly higher than a B, or higher.

It One of the things national prohibition pro-hibition did pretty effectually was to put out of business practlcaUy all of the "gold cure" establishments, establish-ments, the institutions, privately conducted, where alcohol addicts mlgth be and doubtless In many cases were cured of the drink habit. But' now comes the announcement that the government has bought a large tract of land a few miles out from Fort Worth, Texas, upon which It will spend $1,000,000 to $3,500,000 upon buildings and equipment equip-ment to accommodate about 1,000 narcotic addicts from the Federal prisons west of the Mississippi, the facilities also to be. placed at the d!32CS2f i,M.m w'Ao rttAY fmri. J tew for treatment. It looks as If a certain percentage of the population Just must addict themselves to some intolerable habit. Alcoholism Is apparently ap-parently no longer fashionable and so this partlculur percentage of the population turns' to "snow" in one form or another, and our generous, paternal government taxes itself to take care of them and cure them.
