WRONG GUESSING
Lady Writer Cites Cases Where Doc
tors Failed on Diagnosis
"Would that God the giftie gie us,
To see our sil's as ithers see us."
Watching and reading of the con
troversey between the doctors of
Oregon City and Dr. van Brakle, I
have concluded to give them a peep
of how it looks to some of us who
are on the outside. Now I don't
know if Dr. van Brakle is qualified
to fill the position of County Heatlh
officer or not. It is the way the
doctors are trying to handle the situ
ation that I am criticising.
I believe that they gave Dr. van
Brakle one chance ONLY to diag
nose typhoid, diphtheria, etc. Why
should the doctors require Dr. van
Brakle to do better than they can do
themselves, as indicated in a few
cases which I will cite?
One year ago last November Mrs.
of Oregon City was quite
ill and a city doctor came four or
five times and pronounced her illness
typhoid on the day her fever began
Wo neeentpH the eXCla-
im ' ' 1 IT""
nation at that time that many cases
were obscure ana sympions naru u
define, and many know by experience
tiiuf i-nsaa are not often diacnosed on
the first visit of the physician. Well
do we remember a number of years
ago mat me meuicui uutiui s ui
nnn f itir mm rrnl Br! nnH that thev aU
most fought over diagnosing and the
treatment or aipntnena.
Now I call to mind another case
wVinn o little Haiiirht.nr nf Mrs
who sometime after a severe fall
was taken with hard spasms. A
city doctor was called and he located
the trouble as inflamation at the
base of the brain. He gave the child
medicine that seemed to modify the
symptoms, but in some ways she be
came worse, and soon perfectly blind.
The distracted mother, knowing of
the fall, tried to call the attention of
the physician to the fact in hopeis
that he might bo able to do some
thing more than he was. Finaly the
mother in desperation went to the
phone to dismiss the doctor and
told him that she was going to em
ploy a chiropractor. The doctor
reply came like a thunderbolt to the
nerve-wracked mother "You'll have
one of those quacks without a license
to treat your child and you will have
a dead baby. That is what you will
have."
The change was made and Dr. F.
0. Lehman, who then had an office
in Oregon City, was called and be
gan treatment. The child's health
slowly improved but she remained
blind. After ten days or two weeks
the mother again became exceedingly
anxious and asked Dr. Lehman about
taking the little one to an eye spec
ialist. His reply was: "Mr
I am doing all I can do and all that
I think can be done, but I know how
Erecious the eyesight is and I don't
lame you one bit." On lequest he
gave her the address of a specialist
but before another day the child be
gan to see and Dr. Lehman was al
lowed to finish the case, which was
an almost dislocated neck causing
temporary "paralysis of the optic
nerves. When the misplaced verte
bra was adjusted she soon became
normal. Taking the whooping cough
soon after that illness the spasms
and blindness did not return, prov
ing her illness had come from an in
jury and not a constitutional trouble.
I am convinced that Dr. Lehman
saved this child, for. without his aid
and if she had lived, she would have
been a blind cripple and death would
have been preferable to that.
I know of a bad case of asthma in
a young boy which was cured by an
osteopath. We must acknowledge
that they make some wonderful cures
and should be allowed their place in
the world's work.
If Dr. van Brakle is not compe
tent by all means put him out, but
make a clean business transaction of
it.
There is one thing above all that
people prize in the family physician
and that is honor.
Dr. Norris has been in Oregon City
more than forty years and holds a
warm place in many hearts. This
wrangling must be a great trial to
him and no cerdit to the leaders.
I am only one of thousands who
live in the vicinity of Oregon City.
No doubt there are others who can
tell of irregularities among our prac
ticing physicians, and the words ut
tered by Abraham Lincoln many
years ago will fit the situation bet
ter than anything I can find to say:
"You can fool all the people part
of the time, and part of the people
all the time, but you can't fool all of
the people all of the time."

Mayor of Grand Forks Takes a Hand
in the Booze Game
Over against the recent letter re
garding the lamentable state of af
fairs in North Dukota under Prohi
bition place the following lotter from
M. F. Murphy, the mayor .of Grand
Forks, North Dakota. Mr. Murphy
When I came here there were about
eight or ten thousand people in wnai
is now North Dakota. From that
time until statehood there were sa
loons in all of the towns and along
the stage routes, and in fact, every,
where they hud a chanco to exist.
When the state constitution was be
ing adopted and prohibition was an
issue, I felt that it would be an in
jury to this city if we were to have
prohibition in the constitution. It
carried, however, and I am very glad
that it did.
"I think that we have one of the
cleanost, most up-to-date littlo bus
iness cities in the Union. Our popu
lation is only about 15,000, but you
will notice that our bank clearances
are more than those of most cities
of 25,000 or 30,000 people. I know
of no place in the United States, com
paratively speaking, that has so
many public improvements as we
have. We built one of the first wat
er filteration plants in the West,
erecting it in 181)4, and it has been
added to until now wa have suffic
ient capacity for a city of 50,000
people. ...
"We were among the first cities
to install ornamental street lighting
and have eight posts to the block,
with five lights to the post; all of
our telegraph and telephone wires in
the business district are underground
in conduits; there is not a post of
any kind on any of the business
streets except the light posts. We
have fifteen miles of creosoted block,
bitulithie, and Kranftoidf pavement,-'
all of which is in first class condit
ion. We have four large parks with
an area of 240 acres and numerous
small ones at street intersections.
We have twenty-eight miles of water
mains, and twenty three miles of
sewerage. .
"We own our own water and light
plant; we are building a new munici
pal slaughter house; have city scale,
and brick house that is used for hous
ing all our implements and machin
ery; have two modern, up-to-date
fire halls with latest appliances; a
city hall that is absolutely fire
proof and that would do credit to a
mtw nf 10(1.0110 neoDle: six modern
up-to-date public school buildings,
with an attendance of 3,300 children
and have practically no paupers.

Did you ever hear what Bob Bur

Bob writes is worth reading. He

"No clause in the Declaration of
Independence declares that a Sun
day concert-garden, with five brass
horns and 100 kegs of beer is the in
alienable right of a free people, and
the corner stone of a good govern
ment. "The battles of the world, my son,
have been fought for grander things
than free whiskey. The heroes who
fell in the struggle for rum fell shot
in the neck, and their martyrdom is
clouded by the hauting phantoms oi
the jim-jams.
"Whiskey makes men fight, it is
true, but they usually fight other
drunken men. The champion of beer
does not stand in the temple of fame;
he stands in the police court. Honor

Glory does not wear a red nose, and
fame blows a horn but never takes

f'l do not know one good thing
about a saloon. It is an evil thing
that has not one redeeming thing m

You have all read how Marcus
Caius was told how to stand in the
market place and tell the citizens of
his scars? Well, then you know the
outcome.
"Sneakin' of Helen;" I mean the
famous blind and deaf Keller girl.
She recently made a trip thru Oregon
and the reason I didn't attend her
lectures was that I didn't have the
price. Anyway she seems to be able
to gather a lull house. The uregon
iana interview reports her saying she
hated charity to the poor. Of course
the poor would suffer more if char
ity did not give some relief but they
would not suffer long for they
would rise in their right and take
back what had unjustly been taken
from them, confiscate it. You see
the word may be new to you but
you'll come around after a while.
One thing the Oregonian evidently
overlooked about this remarkable
person, is that the paper failed to
state that she is an avowed Social
ist. Can you guess why?
From the reports at hand at this
writing it seems that we, the Amer
ican people will be permitted the use
of the big ditch on terms similar to
the favored nations. Thank heavens
for that privilege; or must we ex
gratitude to our wise and good
statesmen? At any rate we are in
deed a fortunate people to be per
mitted to build the canal and then
not lose it entirely. That act ehows
there is nothing "cheap" about us.
It would also show to the patriotic
jaspers, if such were inclined to do
a little lonesome thinking, that there
are some niggers in the. National
woodpile. For instance, we are told
we must fortify the canal. Also we
are soaked a pretty penny everv vear
for an army and navy to fight the
xoreigners witn. let it seems when
the powers that be have succeeded
in putting us in bondage to nearly
five hundred million our wise states
men confiscate it and hand it over
to the much hated "ignorant for
eigner." ut course we must main
tain our "national honor" to other
people. No one disputes that, and
the American workers who built the
canal or who are being taxed for the
building, is without honor anyway
among the tax-eating brigade.
One thought, or two occurring to
this obscure rutabago digger is, why
did our statesmen go into such a bad
bargain? - Was the "Ray" party to
the treaty too tfrung to Uo business
or is there a universal brotherhood
of capitalists the world over who care
nought lor national boundaries Y
In my childhood Benedict Arnold
stood tor everything abhorrent to
national honor yet the colonies were
thon legally British territory and he
could with some show of reason claim
loyalty to his country. What shall
bo said of these our statesmen, who
sell or give us away in such a braz
en manner? Observe this, that on
Fourth of July you may find it is
a precious bunch taking down a nice
sum doing the patriotic hot air stunt
when the tail of the Briitsh lion will
get a few more kinks amid the ap
plause of the 8niautest people on
earth. Hurrah for our "National
honor;" 'raw for old glory and a half
billion bonds on a free people.
From tho returns at hand of the
municipal elections I learn that the
Republican, Democratic and Bull
Moose parties were wiped off the
mnp by the Socialists in Milwaukie,
Wis., and Girard, Kan. Didn't see

That is as it must be. Socialism
must have a clean majority of all
votes. It also shows that the other
parties have a community of inter

izen finds out that fact Socialism
will come with a full sweep.

GYMNASIUM NEED
TOLD BY TERRILL
COST LESS THAN PLAYGROUND
Local Taxpayer Pleads for Boys and
Girls Pleasure on Dull Days
"Having eight children of my own,
I take considerable interest in this
playground agitation," said Charles
. lernil in the course of a discus
sion of recent efforts to get the city
council to provide a public recreation
ground. "While I believe that those
members of the council who are agi
tating for an outdoor park for the
youngsters are on the right track, I
think that there is something even
more important, however. And that
more important thing is a public
gymnasium and meeting place where
tne cniidren can go and romp and
have a good time during the autumn,
winter and early spring months when
it r'ns,
"When we have fair weather here.
as we do in the late spring and sum
mer, the' boys and girls can usually
find a place for their sports, even
though they have to go some distance
for it. The council has ordered re
stored in Seventh street nark the ten
nis courts, and that takes care of
the young women of the community
pretty well. As for the boys, they
seem able to take care of themselves
to a lanre extent. But when it rains
the problem is really a serious one.
and it seems to me that the' council
in its wisdom ought to give more at
tention to the quesion of a gymnasi
um and clubhouse for the youngsters
than to this playground matter.
"A irvmnasium could be built or
rirovided at far less cost than a
playground, and it would be service-

ent sections of it in their classrooms.
This would aid to their interest in
the work, and would also add to the
practical side of this branch of their
training. After the gymnasium was
opened a part of its expense could be
borne by the sale at a booth therein
of candy, soft drinks; or the sum
realized from this could be used to
pay part of the salary of the over
seer of the place. Boys wijl take
care of themselves when the sun is
shining, but when the days are dark
and the rain is falling they ought to
have a place where they can go and
not only exercise, but meet for good
time and companionship as well. If
they have not a gymnasium or some
such 'club home,' they will gather, in
far less desirable places and form
evil habits and associations.
"Particularly would this gymnas
ium, or club, be of service to the
many young boys between 16 and
20 who are employed in the local
mills. On account of their peculiar
situation they are denied the use oi
the high school gymnasium, and be
cause they are under 21 they are bar
red from other resorts in the city
which their older fellows can patro
nize. Also on account of these mill
hands the gymnasium ought to be
open night hours so that the men and
boys coming away from work late at
nipht could take exercise or a shower
bath to refresh themselves betore go
ing home. I firmly believe that sub
stantial help towards maintaining
such a club gymnasium could be ob
tained from the mill managements.
"A gymnasium or club for the
young people would be practical in
Oregon City, I am sure; and while it
would primarily be used by the boys,
undoubtedly the plan could be so
worked out that certain hours each
day, or a day or so a week, could be
provided for girls as well. If any
substantial aid in founding such an
institution is needed from the tax
payers, 1 for one am ready to contrib
ute my share; for I know the bene
fits derived would make for better
citizenship and healtheir general con
ditions in this community."
Mr. Terrill, who is seeking the
republican nomination for constable
at the coming primaries, has been
deeply interested in the wellfaie of
Oregon City's young people during
the four years that he has been a
resident and property owner in this
community.
Charles F. Terrill was born 43
43 years ago in Pennsyvania, was
taken to Colorado by his parents
when six years of age, and was edu
cated in the public schools there.
Later he spent much time on a cat
tle ranch, where he learned the "fair
play" that is the rule among cow
boys and cattle men. Leaving the
ranch he took up engineering, and for
four years was chief engineer at the
municipal water works in Golden,
Colorado, following this with service
as engineer in a number of Colorado's
more noted mines.
Feeling the, call of the Farthest
West, he moved to Hood River, Ore
gon, and later to Portland. In the
metropolis he was for 15 months
connected with the Pintsh gas com
pany's plant fn the Portland railroad
terminal yards, and later became
traveling oil expert for the Warren
Construction company, of Portland.
In November, 1910, he moved to
Oregon City, purchased a home, and
has since been active m "clean up"
work here, and one of the leading fi
gures in local civic betterment.
NORTH DAKOTA BOOZE
E. D. Olds also Replies to Mr. Steen
and Cites Past History
Good for Thomas. He is on the
right track, and he certainly gave
Mr. Steen a solar plexus.
But I would like to say a word or
two to Mr. John Steen. In his ar
ticle he has to tell me twice that he
is not a booze fighter. Now perhaps
he is not, but he. talks just like I us
ed to when I was fighting it and 1
thought I wasn't fighting it, and al
so I thought I was not a booze fight
er. When he quits off short like I
did he will have nervous prostration
like he is having now because we are
going to put the whole nation dry,
and he will have the hardest fight he
ever had in his life to quit it, but you
can do it, Mr. Steen, if you have got
it under the hat and have the will
power.
Now he says that he likes to see
the truth in print. Now, Mr. Steen,
I know just how that law was pass
ed for I was in Dickey Co., N. Dak.
at the time it was passed, and at the
same election the people elected a
booze fighting sheriff, Tom Rice, and
a booze fighting prosecuting attor
ney, and of course Kllpnrlnlo wna full
of blind pigs and anarchists. (Web
ster says one wno excites revolt, or
the author of confusion.)
But Mr. Steene, in 1888 theg ood
people of Dickey Co., elected John
H. Boyles prosecuting attorney, an
honest temperance man, and Mr.
Cross, sheriff, another temperance
man, and the law did prohibit, for
blind pigs and boot leggers were run
out of the country, a-talking to them!
selves and
handkerchiefs and we had a clean,
decent town from that time on.
Mr. Steen, if you are a good citi
zen of North Dakota and your
state is full of anarchists, violators
of the law, you as a man ought to
get in and help rid the state of such
a class.
1 And another thing is that your
argument is like a sieve and it does
not hold water. You say that in
earlv davs whiskey was rhenn 9K
cents per gallon, and it was pure and
A- i. J 1 i- .

cense, brothers, make it more poison

brothers fall under its deadiy prongs,
arrest him and throw him in jail and

irom it, blacklist him and make him
an outcast from tho world.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, aa they cannot reach
the diaeast-d portion of the ear. There !
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by conatltutlonal remediea. Deafneaa ia
cauaed by an inflamed condition of the mo
coua lining of the Euatnchian Tube. When
thia tube la inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it ia
entirely cloaed. Deafneaa ia the result, and
unlt-ss the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube reatored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
caaea out of ten are cauaed by Catarrh,
which ia nothing but an inflamed condition
of '.he mucous aurfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafneaa (cauaed by catarrh) that
cartiot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

CENTRAL POINT
Well as I had such good luck last
week as to get my scraps of news in
the paper, I though I would write
again.
I saw in the paper a short time
ago that the Live Wires were talk
ing about trying to get the country
and city closer together so wecan
have better roads. Now let me make
a suggestion. They are talking of a
barn for the rfamers to drive into
owned by the city. Now if they will
talk about a barn where they can
take those autos into instead and not
leave them on the street, as I find
that is impossible to drive by when
we meet the cars. If you think that
the farmers have not a kick coming
try and do as we have to do.
In the first place we have been
educated to drive into the barns and
we go prepared to pay 25c to get our
team out again.' It is cheaper than
running the risk of the guards pinch
ing us for leaving them stand while
wer un into thes tore. As that has
happened lately with some of our
farmers instead of bringing us clos
er together the gaps are getting
wider apart and it wont be long be
fore we in this part will go where we
can get as quare deal and that is
Canby. ....

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY
KIDNEYS
Oregon City Readers Should Learn to
Keep the Kidneys Well
The kidneys have a big work to
do. All the blood in the body is
coursing through the kidneys con
stantly to be freed of poisonous
matter. It is a heavy enough task
when the kidneys are well, but a
cold, chill, fever or some thought
less exposure is likely to irritate, in
flame and congest the kidneys and
interrupt the puryfying work.
Then the aching frequently be
gins and is often accompanied by
some irregularity of the urine too
frequent passages, sediment or re
tention. Thousands testify to the
wonderful merit of Doan's Kidney
Pills, a remedy for the kidneys only,
that has been used in kidney troub
les 50 years. You will make no mis
take in following this Oregon City
citizens's advice.
Mrs. Hattie J. Pace, 612 Twelfth
St.. Oregon Ctiy, Oergon, says:
"Several of my family have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills for back and
kidney trouble and have had quick
and lasting benefit. I feel justified
in recommending this remedy."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mrs. Pace recommended. Fos-ter-Milburn
