• .SOCIAL SECURITY.
While .it is hardly likely that
any sweeping revision of, the»So-.
cial Securtiy. Act-»v. ill be made at
the present session 'of Congress
it is quite probrtbic that before
its provisions go • injtcT full effect
tHSYe will be serious attempt’s
made to iron out its inequalities
and its danger spots! As. more
people bec.ome familiar 'with the-
Old Age pensions and "benefit pro-
visions, the de"mand seems to be
growing for many changes.
It is certainly reasonable that otd
age benefits paid to persons whose
wages havfe been 'taxed to pay
them should not be less than old
age pensions paid out qf public
fun<l3 to pensioners Who have not
made any direct contribution to-
word them. So there is a meas-
ure of justice in'the demand for
larger Federal benefits. Among
the other proposals are to begin
paying these old age pensions in
1D39 ’jmstead of in 1942, to pay
.tKem to more people, to reduce
the worker’s share of the cost and
to abandon the reserve-f}und meth-
od of financing but take up any
deficits out of current • general
taxes.
Few have been able to see any
good reason why certain classes
of workers should, be barred from
participation in the old-age bene-
fit plans. Farmers,. bank clerks,
sailors, domestic secants, surely
are as much entieled to consider-
ation as are shoemakers or motor
mechanics. There would seem to
be no reason why the widow of a
man who has paid his full ' con-
tribution and retired on a pension,
should not continue to receive that
pension.
The Social Security law affets
almost everybody, one way or an-
other. The more it is discussed,
the Sooner its imperfections will
be adjusted.

YOUR LYES.
There is a valuable suggestion
in the report of a national asso-
ciation of opticians tir the effect
that “Americans are going -blind
hunting for eyeglass bargains.”
It. is a suggestion everyone who
wears glasses, or expects to,
should ponder over.
The opticians do not point out
that eyesight is the most valuable
of all human senses, they take it
for granted that everyone knows j
that. But they do stress the the
fact that unless more care is
taken in. the future in buying
glasses than has been shown in
the past, America will eventually
become -E-nation of faulty-visioned |
citizens. Each year finds a great- j
ev percentage of the population j
turning to eyeglasses and each
year, the opticians say, a larger
number of irresponsible persons
are traveling about the country
peddling cheap .a fid harmful
glasses to. those who place so j
little value on their eyesight that
they are willing to gamble with j
it in the hope of saving a “Tew |
pennies.
Eyesight is something far too j
precious to be neglected -»>r ignor- |
ed. That eyeglasses are one of j
mankind’s greatest blessings is a 1
fact recognized Uy the millions
who, .sooner or later, find it nec-1
es sary to turn to them for relief j
when vision becomes faulty and
blindness threatens. But app.ar- ,
ently there are many thousands j

BETTER HEALTH
By Dr. J. Rosslyn Earp
Mr. and Mr

ALCOHOL AND THE MIND
In the year i923 a
statistical
study was made of all patients
who were admitted during the
previous year to mental hospitals
for their first attack of, mental
disorder on account of alcohol.
There were 2,693 ^such patients
and 1,983, almost three-quarters
of them, were between 30 and 55
years of age. To lose the use
of one’s mind at any age is tragic
enough but to lo3e it in the full
maturity of physical and intellec-
tual life is a social as will as a
personal tragedy.
These patients had been drink-
ing heavily for a number of years.
In many cases the health of the
body had also been affected, the
most common complaint being in-
fiamation.of the stomach. Several
kinds of mental disorder are found
amng these patients. Some lost
control of their emotions: They
became disgruntled and easily an-
gered, of facetious, careless and
improvident. Others imagined
enemies among their neighbors,-
became jealous without cause, a
prey to fears that are unfounded.
Others again are delirious, see

It’s no disgrace to copy the

can better yourself and the other

Teague citizens who have in their
lifetime seen the slow but cer-
tain destruction of this country’s
timber supply, with no system-
atized plan of replanting for the
future, will be quick to endorse

ble reforestation plan ever devisecT

KEEP ON CANNING.
Housewives around Teague who
have taken advanatge of the mid-
summer months to can a supply of
fruit for winter' consumption are
reminded that this yeir it will be
almost impossible to overdo ,the
job. Allsorts of canried fruits
and vegetables are higher now
than they ’were in early spring,
and they will go still higher
by the time winter sets in. The
only way to escape this increase
v/ill be to can an ample supply
while fruits and vegetables are
still available. Fall will bring a
brief season of picking and pre-
serving and that, too, should be
taken advantage of. The present
No one has yet been able to
figure out why it is that you qpn
find Teague men who will drink
from the same bottle but who
wouldn’t, eat with the same fork.

necessities are
price with the approach of fail
and winter. Farm products this
year will reach the enormous total
of - ten billion dollars. With all
this money finding its way into
circylation, it is r.nVy natural that
price trends are going to be up-
ward.- Even now it is rising, and
each day sees a slight increase ir^
one or more commodities. Where
it will stop or when, nobody
knows, and since there is no pos-
sible way to avert it the solu-
tion would seem to be in buying
row everything needed during the
fall and winter months. Stocking
up with necessities at current
prices should turn out to be a
sensible and profitable investment.
It is safe to say there will not be
any decline from present prices.
The trend will be in the other
direction. The ones who buy now
for future consumption will, mar-
ket experts say, have rtfason later
on to be thankful they did so.
A LAND OF LAWS:.
No other nation on earth has
as many law-s as- America and,
according to statistics, no other
nation is as lawless. Every year,
year in and year out, 48 legisla-
tures in as many states meet and
enact new laws, and every year
a national congress meets and
does the same .thing.
What the average Teague tax-
payer- can’t -understand is why so
many now laws are necessary, or
could be necessary, if the old
ones were enforced. And ■ "'hy
those that are obsolete, or that
apparently cannot be enforced, are
not removed from the statute
books. Since the cost of law-
making comes directly out of the
pockets of the taxpayers then
they certainly .hafr6~~ajf rigjit to
'ask such questions. Every hlewly-
elected legislator goes to the state
capital, as a rule, with material
for a lot of new law-s tucked away
in his pocket or his head. For-
tunately, only a small percentage
of them actually become laws.
But at that each legislative ses-
sion sees a ..big bunch of new

There must be an answer some-

hope of ever getting that question

remote! The making of new laws

goes right on, world without end.
