My dear Mr. President:
The other day I came across the copy of a letter I had written
you a few months before your last campaign. As the expression of gratitude
is the sweetest privilege of the human heart, ingratitude must create the
greatest resentment. My feeling of resentment toward a certain man who has
proved viciously ungrateful to you for your golden goodness in trying to
crown him highest honor, was the occasion for my writing you that letter.
The letter contained the story of a drowning man who was rescued by a
fisherman. Unfortunately the good fisherman, in rescuing the man, hooked
him in the eye. After the revived man became normal and forgetful, he
went into court and sued the fisherman for hooking his eye. When the
judge heard the evidence he said to the man who had been rescued, "And
you want damages? If you will return to that stream and put yourself
where the fisherman found you, and get out alone, I will give you damages."
Whereupon the plaintive said: "Judge, I withdraw the case".
Though I have been confined to a hospital most of the time during
the past five years, I have been pleased to hear that this story was used
effectively in your campaign. That is what I intended it for. Now,
Mr. President, I'm going to do what I should have done when I wrote the
first letter, I'm taking the liberty of sending you a copy of my book,
"Pinnacles of Personality". The book closes with the prayer I offered
that was cheered by that great Convention in 1924, known for its angry
entanglements as the "World's Greatest Show". It was there you were
doing so heroically for one who should have been your life-long benefactor,
levied a swine tax upon you in the form of" 'rending"
This book, (with particular reference to the two chapters,
"Bootlegging the Classics" and "Christmas on the Rhine") is the record of
that vast experience in which I acquired the title "friend to the boys"
and for which one of these same soldiers and the people have arisen from
out of the past and present to initiate a movement in my behalf through
which I might to some extent reap a compensation for an effect created by
my activities in a great cause placing me in a unique position which
carried with it most of the time absolutely no remmeration and which
resulted in the breaking of my health rendering me helpless of support
at this time. Whenever this effort, Mr. President, comes to your notice
I am hoping you will endorse it since my respect for your abiding selflessness
and your willingness to help the helpless has been so often and so
beautifully demonstrated.
I happen to know that our present First Lady of the Land" did me
the honor to purchase a copy of "Pinnacles of Personality" when it was
first released.

Mr. M. H. McIntyre,

Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. McIntyre:-
I thought you would be interested to know that Dr.
Thomas Parran, the Surgeon General, asked for 6200 copies of
the enclosed booklet, to be used in the hospitals where the
soldier and sailor boys are taken.
There were no funds available to pay the small price
of the booklets, so we Ridgway children went down in our
pockets and sent Dr. Parran the 6200 copies.
This story is a chapter from my forthcoming book,
"The Christian Gentleman. This book, SO far as I can find
out, is the only one ever published with that title. In it
I undertake to define the perfume of the rose in the person
of the undefinable Christian Gentleman, and then follow some
fourteen chapters showing the Christian Gentleman "doing his
stuff, II as my grandsons would say.
The publisher, in his announcements of the book,
says nobody who started reading it would ever lay it down
until he finished the last chapter. He calls it "Religion
with a Smile. If
I would be very glad, indeed, to send the President
a copy if I thought he would begin reading it.
Books and other stuff must come to the White House
by the cartload, judging from the way folks send books to me,
SO there is no use of adding one more to the great pile out
in the" wood-shed, but if the President thinks he would like
to read one or more of my amusing stories, which have never
been printed before, at a time when he is relaxing, it will
be my pleasure to send him one of the advance copies.
The book does not go on sale before the middle of
next month.
Yours with regards,

My dear Mr. McIntyre:-
"The Christian Gentleman" for President Roosevelt.
As per our correspondence I am sending you a copy of
I saw by the paper that he is at Hyde Park, and I did
not know whether to send the book to Washington or Hyde Park,
but decided to send it to Washington, at which place I hope
it may eventually reach you.
You might give the book the "once over" and if you
think you would like it I will be very glad, indeed, to send
you a copy with my compliments.
I feel pretty sure that the President, if he should
get into this book, would find stories in it greatly to his
taste. Especially chapter five, which is a gentle dig at some
of the fool questions that go into Civil Service questionaires
up and down this land of ours.
Mrs. Roosevelt, if I have judged her aright, would
take great delight in chapter twelve, which is the story of
Betsy Hansford and in which is shown the difference between
an "Old Maid" and a "Spinster."
As I may have told you before, the only excuse for
adding another drop to the great flood of books that will pour
from the printing presses this Fall is that I might produce one
entirely different. My object is to produce a religious book
that the fellow and his sister who are indifferent to things
religious, if not actually opposed, will sit down and read.
So far as I can find out, and I have been to the
Library of Congress, there has never been any other book pub-
lished with this title.
There is a possibility of the book becoming a best
seller, and if so you will have an autographed first edition,
and your great grandson may be able to sell it to some
bibliophile, like Edward Newton, for a small fortune!

Benefit Dance Sept. 9
Twenty-five friends of Joe Roth, Jr., who lies stricken
with infantile paralysis at Bellevue hospital, met Tuesday
night on the lawn of the George Jehring home, 304 East
Fifth street, to make plans for a benefit dance, proceeds
of which will go toward sending the local youth to Warm
Springs, Ga., or to some other health resort or hospital,
where he may receive special treatment.
Date Set Sept. 9.
It was decided to hold the dance Thursday, Sept. 9, be-
ginning at 9 p. m. at the Elks club, admission to be $1 per
couple.
The group was told that Junior has definitely won his
fight with death but faces a future in which he will be
permanently crippled unless given
the opportunity of treatment by
specialists, similar to that which
benefitted President Roosevelt.
The youth has been ill for three
weeks and the cost of his hospital
care already has mounted high, it
was pointed out at the meeting.
Bob Jehring, who presided at
the session, appointed several
members of the group to take the
lead in making arangements for
the coming benefit dance and as-
signed certain areas of the city to
individual workers as a systematic
ticket-sale campaign was out-
lined.
Weis Is Treasurer.
Francis Weis. as treasurer, was
appointed to make arrangements
for the printing and distribution
of 1,000 tickets. He will be as-
sisted by Glenn Fairall.
Kenneth Richards, assistant Boy
Scout executive of the Buffalo
Bill area, offered the services of
Muscatine Scouts in the sale of
the tickets and agreed to take 200
of the cardboards. Richards also
was appointed to construct a
"thermometer," which will drama-
tize the sale of tickets by mark-
ing the progress being made in
the campaign daily. An organiza-
tion was completed whereby those
working in the ticket campaign
JOE ROTH, JR.
will make reports daily. Winton
Dunlap was named publicity
chairman.
To Direct Sales.
Charles Meerdink was appoint-
ed to direct sale of tickets in the
down-town area. Among those
assigned to assist him, according
to preliminary arrangements,
were Bob Sander, Junior Kautz,
Bob Bishop, Art Howe, Jerry
Flannery, Bill Finch, John Roach,
Dick Knight and committee mem-
bers.
Another general meeting of the
workers was set for next Tues-
day night, Sept. 7, and further
preliminary details will be made
at a meeting of a portion of the
workers Friday night, at which
time the ticket sale organization,
which is also expected to include
a number of Muscatine young
women, will be further planned.
The date for the dance was set
for early in the month because of

Mr. Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
President of the United States.
Honored Sir;
This is a letter of appreciation. Three years ago
when financial difficulties loomed large I was fortunate in
receiving an appointment under the C.W.S. program to make a
series of researches into aboriginal native music for the Horace
Mann School of New York.
I had been a musician all my life- and this research open-
ed up a new field to me, which I found inspiring and interest-
ing in a degree altogether unsuspected.
Since the disbanding of the particular project in which I
was employed I have been able to utilize the knowledge acquired
through this study in the working out of original books.
I am taking the liberty of presenting you therefore, with
my first published work-- 11 The Flute Boy of the Navajos.'
Another book on folk music of the West, "Whistling Bill of the
2 U Herd" is to come out shortly published also by the Thomas
Nelson Company of New York.
For some time I have felt a great desire to write and ex-
press my appreciation for the opportunity afforded me under
your planned projects for research.
Whatever criticisms different individuals may level at
the administrative errors of supervisors in the various pro-
jects who were perhaps not always quite just in their methods-
SANDETTS Dey
2
the fact remaine that there must be thousands like myself who
benefited not only financially in a crucial period in their
lives, but intellectually as well through the knowledge and
breadth gained in constructive research.
I have had the privilege also of giving musical recitals
from my book for The Womens' Graduate Club of Columbia Univer-
sity, The Library Association of Detroit, Michigan, and numer-
ous other clubs; and have also contributed an article to
The Christian Science Monitor on the same subject, aboriginal
music.
May I thank you again,
Yours most respectfully and sincerely,

My dear President Roosevelt:
You may perhaps remember that about six years
ago you and Mrs. Roosevelt, in Frank Kernan's car, drove
up from Utica into the foothills of the Adirondacks to the
little town of Steuben, where you dedicated the Steuben
State Memorial Park. As it is the common belief that this
project had its origin in your sponsorship I thought you
might be interested to know that since that time the park
has been enlarged and beautified and that last year the
Department of Conservation, pursuant to a special act of
the Legislature, erected in the park, at about the spot
where your address of dedication was given, a replica of the
log house occupied by Baron Steuben, and in which he died in
November, 1794. The house has been constructed with meticu-
lous regard to historical accuracy and when furnished and
opened to the public will serve as a perpetual source of
pleasure and inspiration to a large and ever increasing number
of visitors attracted to the park, and hailing from all parts
of the country.
I am sending you with this letter, and with the
compliments of the author and publishers, an advance copy of
a new and interesting biography of Baron Steuben.x It is
written by John M. Palmer, a retired Brigadier-General of the
United States army, and a recognized expert on military
matters. In addition to its value as a review and appraise-
ment of the military services of Steuben, which are charac-
terized by the author as "indispensable to the achievement
of American independence, " the book contains a wealth of
hitherto unpublished material relating to the Revolutionary
War and (especially in its later chapers) descriptive of New
New York life and times, both in New York City and among the

you
I was glad to hear over the radio a few minutes ago that / intended
to have a complete study made of the various plans which are being offered
for the solution of the greatest problem that will ever come up forstudy.
This is a thing I have been praying for for thirty years, the time
which has elapsed since I, solved the problem.
I have tried to get this before you several times since your
election, but I regret to say that probably the letters never reached you.
An intense study of every other offering has convinced me that not
nne of them even approaches my own. My first book was printed in 1910.
It was the solution. It is the solution. There will never be a better one,
Of this I am sure.
I am sending you another of my 1932 books, but you will get the idea
more quickly from the 1937 Outline which is attached.
I have written an economic article in every edition of The Sharon
Advocate ever since 1931 I have just finished No. 334.
What you really need is a personal talk with me, as that is probably
out of the question, I think you should delegate someone to take your place.
I have never failed to give a solution to every question which has
been brought to me.
I would do anything to help you. even to dropping my own work and
going to Washington.
You have just taken the right attitude, but will it be carried out ?
Will all plans be studied or just those which you have heard most
about, DI those offered by colleges.?

To the secretary who passes on this letter:-
Dear sir (or madam) :-
This is probably the most important matter
or decision which will ever come to you.
You attitude toward it will make a world
of difference to the world at large and to the
President himself.
Mrs. Beatrice Abbott, well known writer, wrote
me a short time ago:- "Most certainly plans do
not all look alike to me. Yours is far superior
to any I have every read."
This is a plan the President would do well to
put into print and place it before all the people
for their consideration and answer.
Such a course would at least show that he was trying
to carry out his own recent statement.
Please do not fail to appreciate your own
part in this great question of human happiness.
Most sincerely.

MENTOPIN
(Thymol - Menthol - Terpichin - Injection.)
Use Mentopin in all cases of acute diseases of the lungs and of the
bronchia, at La Grippe, Influenza, Bronchopneumony and all other acute in-
flammations of the respiratory tract.
It prevents, when brought in the body parenterally, the progression of
the process, especially the extension of the inflamed area, causes a quick re-
sorption and lowering of the temperature and promotes the solution of the
secretions.
Mentopin prevents bronchitis and pneumon, when given before operations
or at the beginning of La Grippe and accelerates the healing process by actí-
vating the natural antitoxic and bactericidic powers of the body.
The Mentopin treatment can be combined with any other therapy like
digitalis, antipyretics etc without any undesired secundary effect.
Application
Mentopin must be applied by injecting the content of one ampoulla inter-
muscularly once or twice a day according to the gravity of the case,
The syringe must be sterilised by boiling or by drawing ether trough it.
But it is inadmissible to use alcohol for this purpose, After the injection knead
the place where you have injected.
Advantages ofthe Mentopin.
1. Application free from danger and without any undesired secundary
effect.
2. Injection without pain.
3. The desired effect will be produced quickly and enduringly.
4. The general state of health will improve very quickly.
Mentopin ist sold in boxes containing 10 ampoullas,
each ampoulla containing the dose for one injection viz. 2 ccm.

F.D.R. Vacation
Halted by
Tooth Infection
MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 3.-(U.P)-The
effects of a tooth infection tonight
forced President Roosevelt to cut
short his seagoing vacation off the
Florida Coast in order to seek
further treatment at the hands of
Washington specialists.
Mr. Roosevelt informed Secre-
tary Marvin H. McIntyre here
that while his general health
was excellent, delayed healing of
the gum from which an ab-
scessed molar had been ex-
tracted, brought about his de-
cision to return to the capital.
Consequently the yacht Potomac
now off Dry Tortugas near Key
West will head for this port to-
morrow, arriving Sunday in time
to permit him to board his special
train at 2:30 p. m., and reach
Washington Monday afternoon.
The Chief Executive has been
suffering from after-effects since
the extraction November 18 at the
White House. He first felt a
toothache November 15 and called
in Commander Arthur H. Yando
of the Navy Dental Corps. Dr.
Yando attempted to save the tooth
by treatment, but finally was com-
pelled to remove it.
The President, slow in recover-
ing from the infection which, in-
cidentally, is still draining, re-
mained away from his office from
November 16 to November 22,
when he came to his desk briefly
to hold a press conference. From
then on he was in the office only
occasionally.
He left Washington last Satur-
day night for the South, having
deferred an earlier scheduled de-
parture which would have taken
him to Warm Springs, Ga., for
Thanksgiving. He planned to visit
Warm Springs on the way north
from the present trip, but the visit
has been postponed now to a fu-
ture date.
While away, Mr. Roosevelt has
been under the care of Dr. Ross
T. McIntire, his personal physician.
McIntyre declared the Presi-
dent's general health, however,
was "excellent" and that the de-
cision to return was only because
the Potomac offers but limited fa-
cilities for dental care.
Meanwhile, as he awaited the
time to start his return cruise,
the President made the most of

Dear Mr. President:
I deeply appreciate the courtesy of the
appointment which you gave me at the White House last
Thursday morning. Such contacts with you are enormously
helpful in my efforts to act as social interpreter
between the Government and the realm of business and
finance. As a slight expression of my appreciation, I
take pleasure in sending you herewith an autographed
copy of my newest book, entitled "The Diary of a Prudent
Investor. 6 I hasten to tell my good friends that it is
not autobiographical.
Looking forward to the pleasure of seeing
you again reasonably soon and with all good wishes to
you and your family for the holiday period and the New
Year,
I am,
