CARE FOR THE
Till-; horrors ot war do not end
the battlefield. According to
,S. Ctmiitiing there lire now 7,58b' tubercular patients, :"j,C!)0 nenro
psycliiiitric patients, and 5.74:J funeral medical and surgical patients
in the hospitals of the 1'iihlie Health Service.
There are thousands of tubercular and iieuro-phyehiatric patients
nnenred for, there are over 10,(1(10 beds in flimsy and inflammable
hospitals, or in hospitals leased by the service, which will soon expire.
Thousands of disabled and siifferintr ex-service men will die unless
the government takes immediate action to ive them care and treat
ment. The France bill, appropriating Sp2f).i:J0,000 for this relief, is now
before congress. It is incomprehensible how congress can waste time
in needless oratory and fruitless dickering over District of Columbia
improvements, when such an emergency exists. More important
than a soldier's bonus, more important than any other consideration
before the national givernment, is relief for these men, who sacrificed
their health in their country's service.
Failure to take care of these war casuals is a scandal and disgrace,
but there is no profit in condemnation and recrimination at this time.
The thing to do now, mid the only thing, is to pass this bill at once,
and start immediately the work of providing quarters for these
thousands of suffering service men.

ALL ARE OFFENDERS.
MY XKIGIIBOK, Johnson, plays the flute, I hear him nt it
night and day; he cannot play it worth a hoot and yet he
whangs and whangs away. There ought to be a law, I've said,
when much incensed by music stale, whereby punk flutists might
he led to court, and fined, and placed in jail. For nowadays we
all believe in shooting laws at every jay; if anything should
chance to peeve, we want, a statute, right away. And so I sat me
down to think how I might have a statute framed to cinch that
fluting Johnson gink, and make him sorry and ashamed. And as
I sat, I heard him say to someone, just beyond the hedge, "I wish
flint bard would move away he surely keeps my nerves on edge.
He has a wheezy phonograph that plays a lot of ancient slop;
month lifter month I stand the gaff, for there's no law to make
him stop. I'd play sweet music on the. flute, soft, soothing chords
that throb and thrill, but when I start that fat galoot turns loose
his clanking music mill. Now, you are learned in law, my man,
so tell what methods one employes to get a statute that will can
that obese poet and his noise." Long hours I sat there, sad and
mute, then muttered "with a hollow laugh. "Before I squalen my
neighbor's flule, I'd belter bust .my phonograph."
Why Greece Claims Smyrna
WASHINGTON. Tho provinco of
Smyrna, on tho coast of Asia Minor,
which was placed under Greek admin
istration following tho world war, and
In regard to whoso future stutus aflntloii. ilefore the World War fully
(ineation was raised on the return of
King Constantino to tho Greek throne,
Is tho subject of tho following bulletin
issued from tho Washington, D. C
hendnuarters of tho National Geo
graphic society:
"Tho basis for Greek claims to tho
Smyrna dlst.'ict iu Asia Minor is put
pithily In a statement, which former
Prouder Venlzelos of Greece is report
ed to have made to the supreme coun
cil of the allies, "Wo seek no inundate,
we seek to enter our home.'
"Smyrna, nnd tho remainder of the
west coast of Asia Minor, which have
been nccopted as Turkish with little
question' for many gonorullniiB, had a
well developed Greek civilization and
culturo when tho ancestors of the
Turks, half-clvlllzed nomads, were still
wandering' with their flocks ovor the
bleak steppes of central Asia.
Where Greek Art Originated
"The portion of llto provinco of
Smyrna occupied by Greelt forces com
prises roughly old Ionia, a country
which was iik purely Greek ns Attica
Itself, and purls of Aeolis, another
Greek country adjoining Ionia on the
north. Greeks, possibly from Creto or
other Islands of tho Aegean, are sup
posed to havo settled iu Ionia shortly
after the Trojan war. The cities which
they built in this favored land of sunny
mountain slopes, fertile valleys, and
good harbors were thriving and weal
thy marts of trade and centers of cul
ture eight hundred years or more bo
fore tho time of Christ, when they are
first heard of iu recorded history.
"Smyrna is ono of tho cities which
claims to be tho birthplace of Homer,
and tradition even points out a cave
near tho city In which ho Is said to
have composed many of his poems.
Sappho was born In Asiatic Greece and
maintained a school In ono of Its cities.
Sculpture, palatini;, and practically
every phase of the Greek art which
has delighted later generations and
served ns their models had its begin
ning in Astatic Ionia, and flourished
thero before coming to full flower In
Athens and tho other cities of Knro
penn Greece. Kphcsus, wluro that
world wonder, the temple , of Diana,
stood, was not far from the present
city of Smyrna, and a dozen moro of
tho great cities of tho early Greeks
were nearby.
Half of Present Population Greek
"After a period of Independence
tolilu continued to flourish as a coun
try of predominant Greek culture and
marked commercial importance under
the suzerainty first of l.ydin, Ihe coun
try of the famous Croesus, and later
l'eisia. Again wholly Greek, it wan
associated with Athens at the height
of that city's power, and then accepted
the leadership of Alexander. A pros
perous period as a Graeco-Hoinan pro
vince and a long era muter the Greek
Kmplre of llyzantlum followed before
the lurk first gained control, a cer-
tuiy or so before tho fall ot C'onstautl -
WAR VICTIMS
with tlie dead and woiinueu oi:
the report of Stirsrnnn General If.
riaion ,
nnpX Kvon following tho incorporn-
Hon of the Smyrna district Into the
Turkish empire more than GOO years
ago, It roninlued largely Greek In popti-
half tho quarter million inhabitants of
tho city of Smyrna were Greeks.
"Tho modern provinco of Smyrna is
the most favored of all the provinces
of Asia Minor. It contains three of the
most considerable rivers ot the Conn
try, Including the Meander, whose ser
pontine course lias given the Knglish
language an expressive verb. Fertile
soil and ternpernto climate have added
lo tho region's attractions, whllo tho
possession of a port and city the city
of Smyrna unequalled by any other
in Asia Minor has contributed another
Immeasurably Important asset. Though
Imperfectly tilled during its control by
Turkey, tho province of Smyrna has
nevertheless been noted for its fine
fruits. Kor a long timo it has furnish
ed tho best figs nnd raisins which
reach the markets of Europe.
"Poets and travelers have sung and
told ot tho beauties of Ihe city of
Smyrna throughout the ages. Tho nu
cleus nestles iu the lowlands about its
harbor, and behind, tho city rises tier
above tier against the neighboring
highlands. Unlike many cities that
have survived for long ages, Smyrna
has retained tho same namo from the
dawn of history. This city should be
dear to the heart of the modern fem
inist, for It took its name from an
Amazon who is reputed to have played
an important part in its early history."

COMMUNICATIONS
Opposes Speedway Plans
To the editor: In looking over your
issue of the lllth, I noticed these head
lines, "Fair Grounds Deal Closed by
County Court."
Which I assure you is tho sensible
thing to do, if Jackson county would
hold its own, as we now stand head
and shoulders above every other coun
ty in tile state in advanced movements,
or progrcssiveness, especially all co
operative works under the different
heads of the Farm liurenu. Py the way,
"iho farmer iceds them all" without
which you other "guys" would go hun
gry. At the close of that article re the
fair ground deal, i was surprised at the
Ignorance displayed, relative to the at
tractions proposed, stating that Do
signer Princo "of some importance
from an auto iwomoters standpoint,"
w.- design a speedway one and one-
eighth mile, which makes it unfit for
any other purpose except auto racing,
which I contend there should be a law
to prohibit. It is conducive to no pcr
niunent good whatever, and right here
I predict if such attractions do mater
ialize you will kill at least one person
on an average for every year you book
those races. The idea of horse racing
being no drawing card any more, 1
will asK you if yoa attended the state
fair last year? If you did, what was
tho direct cause the grand stand at
tho race track being filled with several
thousand every afternoon, with no
drawing card for attraction except a
lino program for horse racing? -Yon
ask Air. Lea of the stale fair what his
greatest drawing card was, if it was
not the racing program.
I want to assure you my dear friend,
that if you will put the same liberal
ways and means ut the disposal of
horse racing committees, that you
want to for the auto racing, thero will
ho very little difference, as to the
drawing capacity ot either.
I am in favor of both, for tho simple
reason In putting on attractions for en
tertainment any place you have to
cater to all fancies, whether you ap
prove of them or not.
I assure you in taking this stand it
is with the kindest feeling toward all,
only when a stockmun gets such a slap
in tho face as you see in this article
referred to, and doc3 not try to defend
himself, ho surely Is not what he
should lie. When this fair has been
operated this fall, I hope no one will
bo justified in saying, just as we told
you, all for Medford and automobiles.
. Let us all pull together, and make a
howling success of this coming fair,
being always mindful not to leave any
"chip" on your shoulders, and I am
quite suro everything will go along
fine.
Yours for success and good will to
all. J. E. MASON.
Central Point, June 20.
Note Although a motor speedway
will be constructed first. It is the in
tention of lite Fair association to con
struct, a horse racing track within the
speedway track as sobn as funds are
available.
Richer in food value
than meat or eggs, yet
as economical as any
staple you can serve
two reasons for
the popularity of Del

WOODBURN MAN
HAD ABANDONED
HOPE OF RELIEF
"I simply cannot fully describe
what 1 suffered for five years from
Indigestion," but I now feel lil:e u
new man and give Tanlac all the
credit for my relief," said Carl Olsen,
a well-known mechanic of Wood burn,
Oregon.
"My stomach was in such a dis
ordered condition that nothing I ate
agreed with me," and if I ventured to
eat certain vegetables or anything
sour or highly seasoned, gas formed
and bloated me up until I nearly suf
focated, and I had such pains in my
stomach I could hardly stand it. I
got to where I didn't know what to do,
for if I ate I suffered and if I didn't
eat 1 suffered and 1 felt perfectly min
erable alt the time. I was habitu
ally constipated and constantly taking
something for that as well as for in
digestion, but nothing gave me any
relief. I was as yellow as a pumpkin,
my tongue was thickly coated and 1
woke up in the mornings wlih a mean,
sickening taste in my mouth.
"I had tried so many things with
out getting any help that I almost de
spaired of ever being well again, but
after taking Tanlac I was soon on the
road to health. So I just kept on tak
ing it and kept on improving until
now I am entirely free from indiges
tion and can eat Just anything I want.
My complexion has cleared up and 1
no longer have a bad ta.-ito in my
mouth; I have gained ten pounds and
sfeel fine all the time. I just can't
say enough for Tanlac, for it has given
me hack my health, which 1 thought
was gone for good."
Tanlac Is sold in Medford by West
Side Pharmacy, in Jacksonville by
J. W." Robinson, in Rogue River by
W. S. Cary, and by leading druggists
