One night last year a registered nurse named William Garland Hoffman, having failed at dairy farming in Washington State, sat down at his kitchen table and wrote Administrator Hopkins a letter. He proposed that the Government set him and eight fellow Seventh Day Adventists up as farmers in Alaska. Though Mr. Hopkins replied enthusiastically. Nurse Hoffman soon lost heart. But his small seed had fallen on fertile ground. From New Deal minds, notably that of Assistant FERAdministrator Lawrence Westbrook, there shortly sprang full-blown a scheme for transplanting Depression...

Intestinal Worms do not thrive in fresh air. That fact led Lewis W. Butz & Dr. William Alfred LaLande of Philadelphia to make 300 wormy puppies swallow some drugs which released oxygen in their guts. Worms left immediately. The drugs: terpineol, diheptanol peroxide, ozonized olive oil, ozonized cotton seed oil. When the same drugs were poured into a tumbler full of the round worms which infest babies, the worms promptly died. But up to last week Researchers Butz & LaLande had not dared to try the drugs on babies...
