...Vitamin B 1 has a special affinity for and healing action upon diseased nerve tissue, and its efficacy in treating nerve inflammation associated with alcoholism is spectacular (TIME, Jan. 17). In the A. M. A. Journal last week Dr. George R. Cowgill of Yale declared that the vitamin seemed to help in the metabolism of carbohydrates by acting as a coenzyme. Other than that it seemed to have no effect on normal organs, and overdoses did not hurt a normal body. The human system simply took what it needed and threw away the rest...
...simple: never since the first spike was driven have railroad costs been higher, never have rates been relatively lower. In 1937 railroad fuel and material costs rose $100,000,000, taxes $60,000,000, wages $140,000,000.

...Robinson, through two simple tap routines, one to a pleasing tune called Toy Trumpet, she seems something more than a doll, something less than a little girl. Her singing, almost free now of the lilting lisp that has three times made her No. 1 Oh-&-Ah cinema champion (TIME, Jan. 3), sounds much like that of any little Sunday-morning radio aspirant...
...school, he plumped so hard for railroad land grants that his legislative activities were notorious even in those wide-open times. Then he reversed himself and began attacking the concentration of wealth, led the radical Farmers' Alliance, wrote best-selling books, ran unsuccessfully for many offices, and died Jan. 1, 1901, with a nationwide reputation as the prince of cranks...
