tpHE constant struggle of modern
■A medicine to save lives and con-
trol disease is not without its cost.
For the men who labor in the labora-
tory, for the scientists who seek the
secrets of bacteria and viruses, for
the pioneers in the progress of medi-
cal knowledge, death is a price that
Must sometimes be paid.
Death is also the price paid by those
who gamble with untested cures and
wet-well-quick nostrums. Eleven Flo-
rida women recently took injection of
a “cancer cure.” In the following
days, most of them died, their bodies
racked with tetanus. That their
deaths resulted from the contamina-
.tion of the bottled “cure” is a chal-
lenge to the manufacturers of med-
ical preparations. That those eleven
women put their hope for health in
the injection of a nostrum, is s chal-
lenge to the medical profession to
spread the truth that “there is no
serum, or medicine that will cure can-
cer, that surgery, x-ray, and radium
are the only weapons against the
disease.”
In an age when every day brings
new discoveries, new drugs, and new
uses for old drugs, ailing humans are
tempted to put their faith in any-
thing that comes along. With many
of these new preparations injurious
when incorrectly used, the cure of
disease may in fact become the cause
of death.
The prevention of such tragedies
requires, first of all, the rigid control
of medical preparations. Only through
constant vigilance and high ethical
standards can the cures that come in
pills, bottles, hypodermics, and cap-
sules be kept safe and pure. Of equal
importance is the spread and accep-
tance of medical knowledge. 1 f
you’re sick, don’t trust the tempting
tales of “easy health” nostrums. If
you’re sick, see a reputable doctor,
he knows the surest ways to life and
' health.

AND THEN there was the local busi-
ness man who last week had hia fling
at the turnip market in Dallas. He
had raised some turnips on hia place
near Grand Saline, so he decided to
take a truck load into Dallas Sat-
urday night. He did, and he receiv-
ed $1.25 for his part.
A SK the librarian what the current
best-selling book is. If she an-
swers promptly she may name what-
ever novel has been topping the
month’s selling lists. If she pauses
a second she will probably name that
best-seller which year in, year out,
faithfully leads the field—the Bible.
One of the prime reasons for its
leadership is the Gideon Bible Socie-
ty, which has just completed a check-
up tour in various sections of Ameri-
can replacing hotel Bibles. The
average life of that sacred book on
the hotel dresser is ten years. Yet

A JOINT snake. Since the days when
we were first learning to walk, we
have heard stories concerning a cer-
tain species of snake, called a joint
snake. This snake, so our informa-
tion came, could protect itself from
any danger by unjointing itself, part
going one way, and part another. The
theory was that by seeing two or
more snakee, where one had been be-
fore, the enemy, be it man or beast,
would be so upset that he would be
unable to follow either of the snakes.
And, when many years of life had
been lived, and we had failed to meet
such a snake in the flesh, we put the
joint snake story in the category with
the “side-hill dodger”, and the “gilli
galou bird”.
However, as so often the case with
skeptics, we found that the thing
that, “could not be”, is. In the as-
sembly room of the Grand Saline
school last week we saw a joint snake
—saw where it had unjointed itself at
some past date, and saw where it had
started growing another section in or-
der to again be able to meet an em-
ergency when it arose.

ing to have at least one green vege-
table through the dry hot summer
when most others are burned up. She
