Dr. Copeland Tells Millions Of People How To Keep Well Famous Physician Advises 1 lious ands Through Newspapers Ar ticles All Over Country. (By William J. Murray ' To few men Is given the gift'of public service. Many men so covet this gilt that they earnestly strive to gain the reputation for such genius. And, assuming the air of the thing they covet, they foist them selves upon all sorts of public of fices where their deficiencies are swiftly found out. But the man who really possesses the gift is first found out and then is forced to accept the office which seeks him. When Dr. Royal S. Copeland came to New York he had behind him the record of having Itcen dis covered and not found wanting in this matter of genius lor public service, Behind him were several year* of efficient public service. First, as professor In the University Of Michigan, from which lie was graduated in 1889, and where, alt er specialized work in tinman, Swiss and Belgian universities, he was teaching when he was induced to undertake his first service in elective public service. The city of Ann Arbor, in 1901. found out that in nim was excel lent mayoralty timber so Dr. Cope land was drafted into its service. And when, after two terms, he laid down the mayors duties, he was not permitted to rest—he was forced to remake the park system of Ann Ar COVER YOUR COTTON CROP WITH HAIL INSURANCE TODAY The cost i s •mall, the protection is great—black cloud* wont worry you so much if you have $50.00 per acre, in surance.

New York first heard of Dr. Cope land when the Flower Hospital Medical college needed a dean and called him to that office. And then strange are the ways of tortune— a chance meeting in City Hall Park with Mayor Hylan, one night at dusk, during those early day. of our participation in the World war. re sulted in a message to Dr. Cope land from the mayor asking his presence at the City Hall. The mayor shook his fist under the nose of the astonished physi cian. when Dr. Copeland had at tempted to decline the mayor's re quest that lie become health com missioner of the Rreatest city in the world. "As mayor of the city of New York 1 believe that I have the right to draft any man for any big serv ice this city needs in war-time. You serve!" His honor insisted— and Dr. Copeland did serve. The record of Dr. Copeland's service as commissioner of health during the years fraught with dan ger both to health and efficiency greater than the city had ever be fore known, is the record of the years of the World war and, in ad dition, the years of the most, men acing influenza epidemic of his tory. So notable were Dr. Cope land's services as guardian of tbe public health that—perhaps more to his astonishment than to the surprise of anyone else—he was drafted, with but an hour's notice, to run for the senate of the United States. As Dr. Copeland told me and I, myself saw in several notable in stances hundreds of men and worn SICK HEADACHE Ex-Sheriff Suffered From Con stipation and Felt Very Bad Until Relieved by Black-Draught. Ardmore, Okla.—Mr. W. N. Mc Clure, for several years a resident of this city (111 Third Ave. N. W.). formerly was a political leader In Pike County, Arkansas, where he served as sheriff and county judge. **I used to suffer with sick head aches," says Mr. McClure. “These spells would come on me and I would feel very bad. I would get bilious and upset. “My trouble was constipation, and after I found It out, I began using Black-Draught. This quickly re lieved the cause, and I got all right. “1 began using Black-Draught In my home, shortly after the Civil War, when I lived in Pike County, Arkansas. I came out of the war; like many other soldiers, with bad digestion. I suffered a lot from sick headache and dizziness. I would get constipated, and for a while I would feel very bad. “I found this medicine brought quick relief for constipation, and re moved the cause of my headaches and dizziness, so we have always tried to keep it In the house. “After I take a course of Black Draught, I feel fine.

None of these persons had met him before. Most of them now saw him for the first time. But they felt they knew him. They considered him a dally visitor in their homes. Each of these eager men and women read I>r. Copeland's articles every week-day. They had come to feel that the general title of the series—"Your Health"—meant their health. ___ Practically everyone had written Dr. Copeland And each question a self-addressed, stamped envolope. had received a personal answer in their ow n home. The circulation building results. ; editors testified hnd proved so great ever since Dr. Copeland began his series, that they wouldn't be with out this feature. They declared that, it meant much to Individual health and community welfare. Out of the turmoil of bitter poli- | Ural strife, arose a fact which other . editors had not previously realized’ I Today more people are interested ’ in keeping well—not in getting well , than ever before In the history of ' mankind. Every man. woman and child who reads and thinks, is anx- j ious to understand every one 0f the many facts necessary to avoid dis- 5 physical efficiency. For everyone now realizes that upon physical health depends mental health. Many an editor brushed lrom his mind all idea of politics to give thought to the tremendous public interest in health. I ne returns oi tnai senatorial race are still fresh in the memory of many a man and woman who eagerly desired Dr. Copeland's elec tion and were sure lie would be elected but were amazed by the re sounding plurality by which the voters of the Copeland's Rift for public service, elected him United states senator. And then, fearful that Dr. Cope land would not be able to continue writ ins his daily newspaper articles upon which they had learned to lean, countless correspondents were asking Dr. Copeland whether he would continue his series and his special questions and answers serv ice. Finding it impossible to reply individually to this multitude of well-wishers. Dr. Copeland wrote to all the newspapers publishing his articles: "I do not consider this a job in the ordinary sense This is the pleasure I get out of life. To stop it would be to deprive me of the sweetest thing in my life. 1 am Rlad that my new undertaking will not interrupt the writing of my ar ticles and answering the letters of those who write me about health and sanitation " And those who know Dr. Cope land's work—men and women far and near, in the low places and the high places of the world—rejoiced Far better even than telling the layman how he may banish some symptom of disease from his own body. Dr. Copeland's daily articles instruct everyone in the art of keeping well. Not the least import ant phase of this art is the ability to recognize the danger signals of disease and then to hustle to your good friend, the family doctor, who will take that "stitch in time.’’ Many of Dr. Copeland's most ar dent admirers feel that herein lies the greatest opportunity for public service which even he. despite his remarkable record, has ever had And in performing it Dr. Copeland continues to demonstrate that he is one of the few men of this country who possesses the gift of public service.

The woman Is Mrs. Joseph tioldberger. of this city. Her husband, the late Dr. Joseph tioldberger, conquered pellegra, identifying it as a disease caus ed by diet defieieney and find ing the food element necessary to combat it after it had baffled the best medieal talent of Eu rope for two centuries. This physician of the Tnlted States Public Health service died last year, a victim indirectly of the diseases he devoted his life to mastering. His service is credited with saving countless thousands of lives. I.cft almost penniless by her martyred husband, with three children, of $125 a month by the last congress, as a pension. A letter to the house pension com mittee by Surgeon H. S. Cum ming. of the public health serv ice, urging the pension, told how Mrs. Goldbergrr had test ed the transmissibility of pel legra at a time when many medical authorities, disagreed with her husband on this point. "At the time when volunteers were railed for this experiment, and a number of Doctor Gold berger's hrothe&ioffleers at once offered to receive various sub stances taken from pellagrous patients into their own bodies as a test for the transmissibility of the disease." Dr. Gumming related, "Mrs. Goldberger beg ged the privilege of representing her sex as one of the volun teers." Cigarette Smoking And Dangers There The New Zeatand Outlook. "You smoke thirty cigarettes a day?" "Yes, on the average" “You don't blame them for your run-down condition?" ■Not in the least. I blame my hard work." The physician shook hts head. He smiled in a vexed way. Then he took a leech out of glass jar. "Let me show you something,” he said "Bare your arm." The cigarette smoker bared his pale arm, and the other laid the lean, black leech upon it The leech fell to work busily. Its body began to swell. Then all of a sudden a kind of shudder convuls ed it, and it fell to the floor dead. "That's what your blood did to that leech." said the physician. He took up the litle corpse be tween his finger and thumb. "Look at it." he said. "Quite dead, you see. You poisoned it." "I guess it wasn't a healthy leech in the first place." said the ciga rette smoker, sullenly. "Wasn't healthy, eh? Well, we’ll try again.” And the physician clapped two leeches on the young man's thin arm. “If they both die,'’ said the pa tient, “I'll swear off—or. at least, I'll cut down tnv daily allowance from thirty to ten " Even as he spoke the smaller leech shivered and dropped on hts knee dead, and a mom»nt later the larger ore fell beside It. “Thts Is ghastly,” said the young man; “I am worse than the pesti lence to these leeches.” “It Is the empyreumatic oil in your blood,” said the medical man. “All cigarette smokers have it." “Doctor," said the young man, regarding the three dead leeches thoughtfully, "I half believe you're right." GLAD TO BE BID OF 'SOLID SOI1' Columbia Professor Thinks Break ing Of South Cnloaded Some “Bad Rubbish." Cleveland—The Democratic party mould be glad that it last in the lest national election the obligation it had long owed its constituents in the Southern states for forever keeping the South solidly Demo cratic, Lindsay Rogers, professor of public law in Columbia university, New York, told 1.000 Cuyahoga county Democrats at a rally here. His hearers were startled by the unorthodox views expressed by Rogers, who wrote most of the cam paign textbook for Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic candidate. He term id Southern Democrats reactionary and declared progressive Democrats ir the North should be glad to be rid or their following. •'It is the sheerest nonsense to say that the future of the Democratic party is cheerless because the solid South is broken,” he said.. "To put it plainly, it may be a good riddance t? bad rubbish. "The breaking of the South has been in preparation. The Repub lican minorities in some of these Southern states have long been rpucn larger proportionately man the Democratic minorities in the northern states, The Democratic party can take a new lease on Ufa and orient its policy in a different direction. One of the reasons why the Democratic party has in the last eight years been so evasive in its pionouncements Is the restraint put on progressives by Southern con servatives.” Rogers strongly recommended abolition of the two-thirds rule in Democratic national conventions. Alcoholic Deaths Highest In 1929 Than In 12 Years Spring Fishing Season Brings Honest To Goodness New Fish Story. Kinston—A report of the use of alcoholized live bait reached the directors of the Acme Anglers' as sociation here today and the execu tive committee. W. H. Sutton, D. E. Wood and J. T. Skinner, went into session immediately. After the session it was announc ed the report would be investigated further before being entered on the records of the association, where many strang things are inscribed. The directors were told that a iisherman who planned to go • perching” bought 50 minnows and a half gallon of monkey rum. He tried out the refreshments in ad ' ance. Prompted to do something aevilish, he dumped a quart of the liquor into the pall containing the minnows. Fish Hi-Jinks. The minnows, according to the re port received by the Acme directors, staged a barn dance, a wild west rodeo and half a dozen fist fights. When the fishing started the min nows were "keyed to a million.” There was great agitation in the water when the first two were thrown in. Both were swallowed bv big perch. The third "kicked up a rumpus” for five or six minutes be fore there was a strike. When the angler pulled in the line he was as tonished to find the bait clinging to the neck of a two-pound jack, which had been unable to free it self from the minnow's grip. The jack had not reached the hook. "It is the most unusual story of the year to date.” the directors said "Wr are seeking verification. We have no reason to doubt it. of course.” One of the most pressing prob lems confronting our statesmen is how to get into the World Court without seeming to be in it.—Nash ville Southern Lumberman.
