NAZI STERILIZATION Hitler's Nazis, who stress the need for a virile and healthy body of citizens In Germany, seem at least to have jhe courage of their convictions.

It is announced in Berlin that jiore than 400.000 German men and women presently will be subjected to sterilization under the Nazi law for the prevention of diseased progeny. Here is action of a kind which eugenlsts and other scientifically minded folk frequently have urged, but which is so drastic and which involves so many factors, about which our knowledge Is not yet complete that most nations have shrunk from It. But not the Nazis. They are determined to establish a sound and active race In Germany; therefore, no one who has physical or mental defects which he might transmit to his descendants will be permitted to have children. The law is severe and Inflexible but It la at least logical and courageous.

For instance the past year brought a very definite reassertion of human value. Life began to take on new significance. Kor a while in the spring it did look as though our president was about to set himself up as an old Roman Emperor Ood and have us all sing "Nfra My God to Thee." But fortunately the critics, woke up in time to keep us all good Americans. But behind all the propaganda of the "New Deal" there did develop an attempt to give life new value. One of our keenest political observers has said that Mr.

Roosevelt Is trying to separate human rights from property rights so that human rights may be put in the watch. "We've been here IK mla-otes." he "There's an from politics and down to work.

He finished and shoved them back Into place, got to his feet and paused, frowning. They had searched Matthew Hol-llster's bedroom high and low but had found no sign of a revolver. Bannister pulled out the drawer of a table and peered Into 1L No revolver there. He had known that anyhow, because he had looked In the table before. Then be went Into the hall, paused before the door of the bath room.

"There's no place here where anything could be bidden." Coleman complained, "except In this cabinet," The door of the medicine cabinet stood open. On the narrow glass shelves an assortment of bottles and boxes were arranged, most of them bearing labels or trade names and all too small to conceal anything as bulky as a revolver. "It's not there." Bannister agreed curtly. "Well, come on. We've barely started." They continued tee search.

Bannister went to the kitchen and started going methodically through the cupboards and drawers. Everything was in perfect order. He suspected nothing had been touched more enjoyed by some women than good health. It plvea them some thing to talk about. To have good neighbors you'll have to be one.

You caJl't measure a man's life by the height of his tombstone. The fellow who foremost place In our national life so long held by arbitrary property rights. If our president can succeed in placing the rights of human beings above the rights of property be will have brought about one of the most important revolutions In American history. But I think Mr. Roosevelt does not deserve all the credit for this move.

It was a sign of the times which he recognized and Is trying to bring to fulfillment. As a people we had become sick and tired of bowing down before captains of industry' 'ho were doing little to merit their high salaries. We had become disgusted with the worship of bankers who too often proved to be moral incompetents. We had become nauseated with the elevation to high social position of men whose only attribute was wealth. We began to insist upon a new basis for determining human values.

Why should men who have become ri by robbing our land of Its natural resources be entitled to more respect than an honest farmer? Why should "big I usmess men" whose power rests only in their Cleverness at keeping multitudes oppressed, be given more honor than an honest toiler In a factory?

Cereals, For Instance, Should Provide Half of All Calories You Require, Yet They Are Most Economical Of Foods.

(By Dr. Morris Flshbein. Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magazine.) Of all the foods that you can buy, cereals represent the most economical part of your diet. They provide energy values in the form of carbohydrates and they provide proteins for building and repairing tissue. If the germ or bran also is included, the cereals provide vitamin and iron, in addition.

Dietetic authorities, therefore, advise that cereal grains provide as much as one-half of the total calories in your diet. If. however, they form more than one-third of the total, dietetic authorities recommend that the bran and germ be retained, because otherwise minerals an vitamins will have to come from other food substances. I have repeatedly emphasized the Importance' of milk in every diet. You should drink at least one pint of milk every day and a quart is optional, if you tak 3000 calories of food a day, twelve per cent of your diet will come: from nsilk.

Among' the vegetables and fruits essential In a well-balanced diet, carrots, tomatoes and the citrus fruits are most Important. These should comprise at least twelve to fifteen per cent of the total amount of calories you take in.

It is how admitted that contracts for not more than $6,000,000 of this work have been let. Sen. N.

M. Mason, Republican of Oglesby, has openly accused the administration of delaying the work so that contracts and jobs could be used for political purposes in connection with the campaigns of 19M. This is denied by the highway officials with the implication that they have been unable to handle the routine work of the department. Some of the, delay, according to federal engineers, was due to the state's efforts to favor exclusively certain patented devices In connection with both cement and asphalt But regardless of the reason for delay, the fact remains that there will be plenty of funds for 1914 road building.
