I am delighted to know that\nthe President is interested in our public educational\nplan, and that I may have an opportunity to speak with\nhim sometime after the election. I shall write you\nregarding it after November 2nd.\nWe have approximately forty thousand active followers\nin the New England States, especially in Massachusetts,\nRhode Island, and Connecticut. Within the next two\nmonths I shall be lecturing before most of them, and\nthrough our mail campaign, our Journal of The American\nDietetic Research Foundation, and other literature, I\nshall be in communication with all of them. I am en-\nclosing a copy of a letter which I would like to send\nto everyone of these forty thousand, together with a\ncopy of the letter which you so kindly sent to me.\nth-mw\nThese people in most cases have been actively campaign-\ning against the unhealthy qualities of white flour and\nwhite sugar for many years, and are all intelligent and\nstable citizens. They will appreciate the interest of\nPresident Franklin Delano Roosevelt, even though my\ninterview with him does not take place. I feel sure\nthat these people will be appreciative enough to take\nsome definite action on November 2nd. May I have your\npermission to send out a copy of your letter of Sept-\nember 24th clipped to a copy of my enclosed letter?\nI wish to thank the President for his interest and for\nhis gracious reply.\nRespectfully yours\nIn\nDr. Howard V. H. Inches\nHVHI/C\nDIRECTOR\nenclosure\nican Dietetic Research Foundation\nThe Parker House\nBoston, Mass.\nCAPitol 8600\nSeptember 26,1936\nTo the Modern Health Seeker:\nA few days ago I sent a letter to the President of\nthe United States. I asked for an interview with\nhim regarding the Public Educational Plan of The\nAmerican Dietetic Research Foundation. I further\ntold him that I was interested in discussing with\nhim the introduction of nutritional classes to pre-\nserve the health and moral of the youth of America\nthrough the National Youth Administration, or through\nsome other agency.\nAll of you know how long the pioneers in the health\nfood field have worked to better the nutritional\nstandards of the American diet. From orthodox sources\nall of the common sense principles of nutrition have\nbeen ridiculed and their importance minimized, and\noftenoften legal proceedings were brought against\nmany leaders for the truths that they were preaching\nto their fellowmen. The orthodox group, together with\nthe misplaced hysteria of the rabid faddist, have in-\njured the chances for official recognition of our\ncause.\nAt last, through the kindness of the President of the\nih-mw\nUnited States, we may be able to present our cause\nwith effect. The problem of health is one with which\nFranklin Delano Roosevelt is personally familiar. All\nof us have heard and read of his valiant fight to bring\nback the normal functions of his limbs. His courage,\nlike the courage of Theodore Roosevelt, is one which\nshould be an example to all Americans. I feel certain\nthat when the President becomes acquainted with our\nprinciples, and when he learns of how many thousand\npeople in America will not use the devitalized and\ndemineralized standard products that are on the market\ntoday, he will set up an investigating committee that\nwill be divorced from prejudice, commercialism and\nold-fashioned type of medical hypocrisy.\n- 2 -\nTo the Modern Health Seeker\nSept. 26,1936\nI am lecturing in America this winter and will\ntell you of the new sciences of nutrition. I shall\nlecture in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Hartford,\nProvidence, New Haven, Bridgeport, during the fall.\nLater I expect to lecture in the middle west, and\nduring the spring in Florida.\nMy wishes to you for good health and long life.\nMost cordially yours,\nDr. Howard V.

We believe that the continuance of this activity in the\ninterest of the conservation of vision, on a nation-wide basis, will\nnot only be of the utmost economic value to the workers of this\ncountry, but will likewise go a long way in assuring that our\nchildren of today will be safely guarded against at least one ruthless\nsource of defective eyesight. Investigation shows that defective\nvision exists in two cases out of every five students graduating\nfrom colleges, as contrasted to one out of every ten children attend-\ning grade school.\nMany investigations by school authorities throughout the country\nhave definitely proved that better scholastic accomplishments are\nmade by students in well lighted rooms than is the case in poorly\nlighted rooms. On the other hand, damage to eyesight is being caused\nmore directly through poor lighting conditions in the home where the\nchildren study.\nAmong the many outstanding accomplishments of the Illuminating\nEngineering Society was the preparation of specifications for the\ncorrect type of portable lamp under which to read and study. Any\nmanufacturer making lamps under these specifications may receive the\napproval of this Society and the right to use its tag. This service\nis a contribution to science on the part of the Society. The Society\nhas no commercial interest and receives nothing except the satisfaction\nof accomplishment.\nAn evidence of the acceptance by the public is demonstrated in\nthe fact that 2,000,000 lamps have now been certified and close to\nthat number are in use. I am writing you with the hope that the\nPresident will give his approval to this Conservation of Vision move-\nment by accepting from the Illuminating Engineering Society the\n2,000,000th lamp made in accordance with the Society specifications.\nMr. Stephen T. Early\n-2-\nDecember 3, 1936\nIt is my understanding that certified I.E.S. lamps are already\nin use throughout the Executive offices at Washington.\nWe feel that a photograph showing such a lamp in use by the\nPresident on his office desk, or perhaps in his study, would serve as\na powerful influence in calling the attention of the public to the\nimportance of proper lighting. Therefore, if the President should find\nit convenient to accept this gift from me on behalf of the Illuminating\nEngineering Society, he would unquestionably be doing a fine thing in\nthe interest of the children of the nation. Such a picture would be\nused only in connection with Society activities, and naturally, we\nwould govern ourselves by any restrictions you set forth.\nWe understand that the President will return to Washington some-\ntime around December 14.
