They have a Bureau of Public Health & Education "to place some osteopathic literature in every public library, school library and newspaper library in America...
While President Roosevelt was last week telling newshawks in his air-cooled White House office how he proposed to inspect the drought area next month, a pert newshawk asked if by any chance he would make a few political speeches on that trip.
