Brought together by the well-meaning Fair Campaign Practices Committee Inc. and its well-meaning chairman, Cincinnati's Mayor Charles P. Taft (brother of the late U.S. Senator Robert Taft), Democrat Paul Butler and Republican Len Hall signed, with telegenic flourishes, a fair-play code: "I shall condemn any dishonest or unethical practice." etc., etc. Then, while Republican Chief Hall stood quietly to one side, Democratic Leader Butler faced the bank of television cameras, reached into his pocket and whipped out a prepared statement. Cried he: "Fraudulent and baseless charges like 'party of treason' and 'traitorous...
Where there's smoke there's cancer. This is true of both cigarette smoke and automobile exhaust fumes, University of Cincinnati scientists reported last week. Dr. Clarence A. Mills, of a father-daughter research team (the other member: Dr. Marjorie Mills Porter), reported that "tobacco smoking is unquestionably and significantly related to increased lung-cancer incidence" and also that "heightened lung-cancer rates in every smoking category are further sharply increased for suburban Cincinnati men traveling 12,000 miles or more a year in motor traffic...
...smokes, a man who drives 12,000 or more miles a year in heavy traffic is exposed to exhaust fumes that multiply his risk of lung cancer by as much as two or three.

A heavy-smoking cab driver who lives there multiplies his danger by all these factors and runs a risk of lung cancer 40 to 120 times greater than that of a nonsmoking farmer...

At six months she seemed insatiably hungry. Still, her mother, a registered nurse, did not worry until 15 months, when Jo Ellen became abnormally irritable and puffy-faced. Doctors suspected leukemia-tests were negative. They thought of kidney disease-negative. Heart trouble-Jo Ellen was treated for three weeks and got no better. Finally they called in Blood Specialist Marion Eugene Lahey...
...last six months Cincinnati doctors have tried the treatment on seven other pale and puffy infants with the same good results, and now doctors in California are duplicating the work. The one feature common to all the cases is that the children were fed mostly milk; though all had vitamins, some also had a few vegetables, and a few had a little meat. Just why they are deficient in iron and copper is not clear; neither is it known whether they will have to continue taking extra iron and copper rations all their lives...
