"paying the balance of the in-
come taxes this company owes
from last year’s operation, plus
the huge quarterly estimates
that we are required to pay, is
making us go to the bank and
borrow money in order to pay
our taxes. The costs of opera-
tion, due to inflation, have gob-
bled up all the cash reserves
that we had."
That's a story one hears from
businessmen around the coun-
try. It is a story that spells
ruin for the American people
1 unless a new breed of respon-
j sible officeholders is elected to
j replace liberals now in office.
It’s a strange thing: the ordi-
nary working American under-
stands his personal economies.
Generally, he is a fiscal conser-
vative, buying only what he can
afford and paying his bills on
time. But this same individual
will vote for local, state and
federal officeholders who pro-
pose that the community, state
from hard-working Citizens Jon-
es and Smith to give it to lazy
Mr. Brown. Yet millions of Am-
erican voters persist in believ-
ing that government is in a pis
sition to distribute goodies.
When election time rolls around,
giveaway politicians brag what
they have done for the people,
how much money they have ap-
propriated for this or that pits
ject. And, tragically, many oth-
erwise intelligent voters con-
clude that these politicians have
been generous and helpful. But
it’s all done with the taxpayer’s
money or the taxpayer’s credit.
In fact, these "generous" poli-
ticians have created conditions
for national bankruptcy.
One of the healthy reactions
to this situation has been the
emergence of taxpayers' lea-
gues or associations at the lo-
cal and state level. They help
educate the taxpayers concern-
ing the cost of government. As-
tro! system keeps the heart-
beat regular.
When there is mild, moder-
ate, or even severe heart dis-
ease, the S-A node is thrown
out of gear and the heartbeat
may become irregular or ex-
tremely rapid.
When this happens, a small

Do»s one attack of Influc.
za bring on immunity ?
M. N., Tenn.
Dear Mr. N.: There may be
some slight Immunity for n
few weeks after an attack, but
this, too, la questionable,
The probable reason Is that
there are so many forms of
the influenza virus that may
be responsible.
It becomes even more con-
fusing because all kinds of
colds and grippes, some Caused,
by bacteria rather than vi-
ruses, are all lumped as the
“flu."
Don’t bank on immunity;
take sensible precautions.

Is a cyst of the lung the
same as a cancer of the lung ?
J. A., Ariz.
Dear Mr. A.: No, a cyst of
the lung is not a malignant
cancer. Usually, these cysts
are considered birth abnor-
malities. They rarely cause
any symptoms unless they be-
come enlarged and put pres-
sure on the surrounding or-
gans. When they do. surgical
removal is safe and success-
