about the glands of internal secretion
As far back as human history goes, we fine the
belief current that animal organs possess some spe-
cial medicinal virtues
Ancient physicians developed a regular cult of
organ therapy. Thus Ceisus, a Roman writer of the
first century, prescribed wolf's liver for disease of
that organ, hare’s brain for nervousness, and fox's
lung for respiratory disorders. Paraceisus phrased
the doctrine, "heart cures heart, spleen spleen, lungs
lungs."
It was not, however, until the middle of the last
century that a physician by the name of Berthold
made the first experiment in endocrinology and
demonstrated the existence of internal secretions
Berthold removed the sex glands from male foy l«
and transplanted them to other parts of the body.
Instead of the fowls developing into capons, as is
the case when the sex glands are destroyed, the

%
anxious to tell the farmer how to run his
business. This is especially true of radical
agitators, who just now are playing on’ the
fears and prejudices of the farmer in order
to win his support for their crackpot
schemes. -
Recently, a statement was given out by
the head of a radical farm organization,
that 3,000 farms were being taken over by
mortgage holders each day, and that the
control of the nation’s farm lands was fast
nassing into the hands of eastern capitalists.
This statement was accepted by many farm-
ers as true, and they grew alarmed over the
situation. Others refused to accept it, in-
vestigated it and found it false.
The editor of a western farm paper, the
Pioneer-Press of St. Paul, Minn., has made
a survey of the farm situation and gives out
some interesting facts. The rate of fore-
closures by insurance companies and land
banks is only five a day, he says, instead of
3,000. as reported. We must admit that there
is quite a difference between 5 and 3,000.
The St. Paul editor says that there are 6,-
800,000 farms in the United States, only
about a third of which are mortgaged. The
volume of foreclosures and voluntary sur-
renders is rapidly getting back to normal.
Summing up the situation, he says:
“The statement that 3,000 foreclosures
are occurring a day is a libel on the agricul-
tural industry. Farming is on the way back.
Since the federal census of 1930, there has
been an increase of 70,000 in the number of
farms being operated in four western states
alone.”
These are the conclusions of a man who
knows what he is talking about. His state-
ment sounds a lot more convincing than the
prophecies of those who are long on theories
and short on facts.—Denison Herald.

ALL ALONE.
SPHERE is something very pathetic in a note
I an old man left who committed suicide a
few days ago in Chicago. The note read: “No
wife, no money, no home. Too old. Not
wanted." The Denison Herald commenting
on the old man’s message says:
“This explanation may seem crude and
tiemental, yet there is a note of tragedy in
it the tragedy of loneliness. Thousands of
people face the sunset years of their lives in
just such a condition as the Chicago man
found himself lonely, moneyless, not want-
ed. A benevolent government, through an
old-age pension, can ameliorate some of the
distress felt by such aged people, by guar-
anteeing them a sort of economic security.
} ut neither the government nor anyone else
eun prevent them from being lonely. And a
lonely old age is about the sadest prospect to
wnich one may look forward.”
The old age pension, if the chislers can
be kept off the roll, in the most humane leg-
islation we have had in many a day. We all
know old men and women who are lonely
and destitute—waiting, waiting, often im-
patiently , for the Pale Horseman. A few
dollars per month is all they need to make
their declining years comfortable and con-
tented. Most of them have worked hard
throughout the years but through no fault
of their own want and loneliness their only
porticn. To lighten that darkness is a duty
civilization owes.—Marshall News.

The secretions of the endocrine glands are called
hormones. This term is derived from the Greek
"hormao," which means “I excite.” However, here
again the term is not properly descriptive, for the
hormones may either increase or decrease bodily
activities
The glands of internal secretion appear to be
the old forerunners of the nervous system, and are
mainly concerned with regulating the vital (inner)
functions of the human body, to wit, nutrition,
growth and reproduction. They are oven found in

THE VOTING MACHINE.
IHE COMMISSIONERS epurt of Dallas
I county has authorized the purchase of
100 voting machines for use in the precincts
a here the vote is heaviest. One Dallas pre-
met has had such a machin? in use for sev-
oral years. There are a few in other Texas
rouncies. The state law permits their use,
but the total number in Texas is probably
less than a dozen. Perhaps the purchase of
100 of the machines in Dall ts will encourage
their use elsewhere.
There are many advantages in their use.
One is that the total vote for each candidate
r known as soon- as the {Kills close, being
mechanically recorded. Another is that the
number of clerks can be reduced to a mini-
. um, greatly reducing the election expense,
in other is that the ballot is really secret.

i allots can determine how you voted, if he

< iminated Paper ballots can be tampered
with by the unscrupulous. Tampering with
ine machines, while not impossible, is easily
detected. -
Each machine is installed in a booth. Un-
1 c the voter latches the door he is unable to
; iterate the machine. He votes for the candi-
d ate of his choice by depressing the small
" ver opposite the candidate’s name. When
he has indicated his choice in each race, he
moves the master lever which mechanically
: cords his vote. It requires little more in-
ti Higenee than is involved in marking a
i iner ballot.
Every voter knows that while he is sup-
pcsed to have a booth in which to mark his
ballot, the law in that respect is very gener-
ally ignored. Quite often he must take his
ballot to a table, or to a school-room desk,
or a counter in a store, to mark it. Anyone
who is rude enough to intrude on his voting
can do so. When the ballots are marked, the
» ounting of them is a tedious task that often
