SOCIALIZED MEDICINE—NEVER!
Under one way or another the Trojan
horse of socialized medicine is trying to
creep into our good old family doctor style
of doing things where every man can
choose his own doctor. The pressure is so
persistent and the determination so set
that it behooves all lovers of the freedom
of our medical profession to oppose all pro-
posed bills to the contrary.
The perenniel Wagner-Murray - Din-
gell bill is like the ghost of Banquo. That
bill would fasten compulsory health insur-
ance on practically all workers of the
country and would bo paid for by substan-
tial assessments against both the employer
and employe. It would cost annually, it i3
conservatively estimated by competent
authorities, the sum of four billion, five
hundred million or more.
Not only that it would be repressive in
the way of stimulating scientific research
among our medical profession; it would
play the game of politics with human life
as the stake; it would build up a heirarchy
more detrimental than the worst the rad-
ical union leaders ever dreamed.
Un tne other side, however, is the need
lor the doctors themselves to clean house,
iuucli ot tneir practice as to their-chnics
touay, while in the name of "specialists'
tne cnief harm is that for the average per-
son medical care and hospitalization is out
of the question. Yes, we have hospitaliza-
tion insurance, but that insurance is sola
on the bet that you will not get sick. If it
went the other way around, no concern
could stay in business. But there is too
much camplaint entirely about the manner
in which persons are having to pay out
everything for doctor bills, examinations,
and the like, much of which pushing about
of the patient seems to them to be out of
proportion to the situation.
That angle may help aggravate the sit-
uation which will eventually bring about
this socialized medicine. It is something
for the present day system of the inde-
pendent, and free doctors, to think about.
The need for an overall check of all
the sewage and water lines in Denison was
seen in the recent discovery that two
blocks which were supposed to have sew-
age mains in the alley to serve the houses
ercted on the assumption of the presence
of the mains, to have, in fact, not one foot
of pipe. An engineer map in the city hall
showed that the pipe was supposed to- be
there. Many pipe sizes shown are check-
ing up wrong and the engineer forces do
not know just what they are to dig up.
Expecting one size they find the pick re-
veals another and different size.
Denison is growing in every direction
and houses are still scarce. Many persons
are still seeking homes and numerous busi-
nesss men from out of town are inquiring
for places to open a business, it is reported
by real estate men. Along with doing
something about fixing up some of the bus-
iness houses we have, which are run down,
the erection of additional business houses
here would, we are told by real estate men,
pay off. We have come a considerable dis-
tance in the past few years from having
some 62 vacant business houses to where
we are crying for them.

Appes—that is the subject. This
year, apples are super-duper—
more plentiful. And while it is a
good year for Gravensteins, the
Winesaps, and Delicious, and
Spitzenbergs, and Newton Pippins,
it will be just the opposite for the
doctors—their business will sag,
with everybody nibbling apples.
But I reckon the doctors will be
glad, they sure been on the jump
for the past half-dozen years. But
even working short-handed as they
been doing, they carried on andj
have developed new methods and j
medicines—and it is to their ere-!
dit. I know the last tooth I had
out, the surgeon fellow did such
a neat, workman-like and painless j
job, that I wouldn't care how soon |
I had another little job for him. I j
salute these doctor fellows.
But back to apples. There is a
biggger than normal crop this
year, so I am interested in getting !
more cooks to show their skill on i
baked apples, apple pie, etc., so !
that the apple farmer can sell his :
crop and make a little dinero, and
ho will stay in business—I choose
to have apples next year.
My susie has a little book, "Ap-
ple Talk"—it was printed by the
Northern Pacific railroad several
years ago, but maybe you can still
get one.
Appl^ pie with a piece of cheese
alongside—or maybe a la mode—
brother!
Yours with the low down,
JO SERRA.

la this home the friendly feeling of the traditional Cape Cod
design has been combined with new convenience features of planning.
The bright modern kitchen, the automatically equipped laundry, ra-
diant heating, storage wall closets, etc., are all a part of the new
home. The upstairs has been planned for future use as family needs
demand. Space for two bedrooms, a bath and plenty of closets has
been provided. It comprises 1065 square feet, excluding garage.
Dwelling shown above is a photograph of a scale model of a "cut-
out" home which can be obtained from House Beautiful Magazine
for $2.00. The model is easily assembled, and gives the prospective
home builder an actual model of the home he plans to build, complete
with "cut-out" furniture.
By studying the scale model, the prospective builder is enabled to
determine what changes he deems necessary before the house is
actually built, thereby saving needless expense.
Blueprints and speclflactions of the dwelling shown above can be
obtained for $5 per set by writing House Beautiful Magazine, 572

RETURNS TO
GROWTH6
Keep garden soil porous, and break up surface crust, to favor free
entry ot fresh air.
Importance of fresh air to garden
plant roots has been stressed by re-
cent scientific studies, which have
proved that in porous soil the air
down to a depth of eight inches
is completely changed once every
hour.
Both the leaves and roots of land
plants breathe. When the soil in
which they grow is flooded, air is
excluded, ana when this condition
lasts too long the plant can drown,
as surely as, though more slowly
than, an animal which sinks under
water.
As water sinks down and drains
off, air reenters the porous soil,
provided the surface of the soil
allows free passage. But when the
surface is compacted, as a result
of wetting, baking" in the sun or
other causes, circulation of the air
is checked, and the plants will suf-
fer.
To loosen a compact or crusted
surface and restore the free ex-
change of air is a chief purpose
of cultivation. The destruction of
weeds is another. The former
theory that cultivation is necessary
to create a "dust mulch" on the
soil to check evaporation of soil
water is no longer widely held.
But the amateur gardener, who
has observed that plants grow bet-
ter after the surface soil has been
stirred, and the crust broken, should
keep on doing this in much the
same way.
Experiments have definitely dis-
posed of the old time theory that
the deeper soil is cultivated the
better, however. It seems to be !
established that an inch, or two
inches at the most, is as deep as the
hoe should go down. Stirring any I
deeper, particularly close to plants, I
may disturb the roots of growing!
plants and do more harm than|
good.
Mulches over the soil will serve L
the same purpose as cultivation, by ■
preventing crust formation, and^
keeping fresh air in the soil. Good!
drainage is also stressed by the!
studies in aeration. Unless water!
runs off quickly, after a flooding!
rain, lack of air will injure andl
perhaps destroy the plants.
But all these manipulations ol
the soil will fail, if the soil itself^H
is not porous. This means having
coarse particles, and almost any
material which will serve to coarsen
a heavy soil, especially one con-.
taining too much clay, will be bene-f
ficial. What builders call torpedo
sand, cinders, ashes and especially
limestone screenings, which hav«
a special chemical effect in clayj
may be spaded in liberally.
Above all, any kind of humus,!
including decayed manure, peat,|
and compost, will help loosen th«
soil, as well as improving It injgj
other ways.
