And this la America. I GIVE LIBERALLY TO THE RED CROSS. i i HELPING the Red Cross in Jackson county means helping our selves. For the Red Cross is today, the clearing house for charitable work in southern Oregon. In the past year, nearly 1000 needy and deserving people havo been fed and clothed, hundreds of ex-soldiers have been given medical treatment free of charge, and di rected to positions where they have been able to provide for them selves, scores of children have been literally saved from lives of de pendence and degradation. Viewed merely from a selfish standpoint, giving to the Red Cross is actually making an investment which pays every diy in the year n better citizenship, lower taxes, and a more attractive community in which to live. For every case neglected means, another dependent, which means greater public expenditures; every destitute home dis regarded, means a liability that steadily grows and must be met at some future time. This year the appeal should be greeted with a particularly hearty Mid generous response. For the Japanese disaster demonstrated once and for all, ihnt the Red Cross must be maintained. Without the Red Cross and the machinery of immediate aid which it alone provided, America could never have done what was done in Japan, and -one of the most glorious chapters in American good will and benevolence could never have been written. But aside from the material standpoint, tho practical view of dol lars and cents, there is, the privelege and the satisfaction which the Hed Cross offers, to those who wisli to help those less fortunate than themselves. There is so much more good will than is ever effectively expressed. Tho TCed Cross translates this vast unorganized sentiment into effective and constructive action. So every dollar given' the Red Cross means a dollar given to the great cause of Humanity, abroad when some overwhelming disaster demands, but every hour in every day, at home. There could be no worthier cause than this. Medford and Jackson county should go over the top in the drive tomorrow, with a record breaking slim and in record time.

Old Nero wnsn 't such a bad egg. burned but ho didn't play polities. In these hard-boiled times, an has no parents to be ashamed of.

WITH Congressman McGoing I walked the village street; a beastly wind was blowing, with rain that turned to sleet. I said. "This woozy weather is simply a disgrace; so let us cuss together, in tenor and in lnss." The statesman showed dejection, but made me no reply, and nfter some reflection I saw the reason why. Such weather though men hato it may help the prunes or oats, and if he should berate it he well might'loso some votes. He might offend some granger who overheard his kick, and then he'd be in danger from that indignant hick. 'And there were also dealers in rubber overshoes, nnd they'd be soro; on spielers who would tho raiu abuse. . And merchants dealt in slickers, the fancy ones and plain, and they'd detest the kickers who beefed about the rain. Jt isn't safe to utter the feoblest kind of kicks, if one would safely flutter arouud in politics. Hut I have no ambition to run for any snap; I'm u-flsed with my condition, I am ft humble sap. And when my anger 'e growing I knock with .skill and tact, while Congressman McGoing is dodging every fact. I make ft daunt less showing, tho lurid language flies, while Congressman Me Going is merely looking wise. They get to loaf most of the time.

Not J Phytielan and Author , Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to di sease diagnotla or treatment, will be anawered by Or, Brady If a atamped, self addressed envelope Is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written In Ink.. Owing to the large number of letters received, only a few can be an swered here. No reply can be made to querlea not conforming to Instruc tions. Address Dr. William Brady, In care of this newspaper. Hurrahing In 1916, before prohibition and be fore the war. 090 peraona died from alcoholism in Now York City. In 1920, under prohibition and with -the men back home from the war, only 127 death, occurred from alcoholism in thla Europoan metropolis of America. These are figures, of the health depart ment of New York City. In 1917, ( accord ing to statistics of American life insur ance companies, the death rate from al cohol Ism among poll cy holders was 4.9 per 100,000. In 1921 the death rato had dropped to 0.9 per 100,000 policy holders. Hut an announcement from the de partment of public welfare recently publlahed In the press, indicates that tho number of cases of alcoholism treated in the hospitals under the jurisdiction of Mr. Color's department has steadily Increased since 1919. Commissioner Coler declares that the cases of alcoholism .are not only In creasing In number but they are more violent and deadly than heretofore. Then Dr. John F. Fitzgerald, general medical superintendent In Mr. Color's department, explains it all In this manner: f , .. 7- "It Is an indisputable, fact that liquor now is easierto get anil that It is of a much better quality than that obtainable heretofore since pro hibition. This might argue against the theory that cases of alcoholism re quiring hospital attention are on the increase, were it not also a fact that men drink more today. than they did before prohibition. Perhaps the sum total of their drinking 1b not aa great as it was before prohibition, but they drink more at one .time than they did." . In order to appreciate the logic of the foregoing remarks one would probably havo to fill up with some of the better quality bootliquor available in New York. '. ,, ', j i " . Then Dr. Fitzgerald points out with equal clarity the relation between ulcoholtsm and vdrugr addiction, r He maintains that a a mall number of ad dicts required treatment in the years when alcoholism wls rampant; the number of addicts ijapidly Increase.! when prohibition set. in and alcoholics wero fewer In number., ' He thinks drug addiction Is less, prevalent when good liquor is ', readily',' obtainable, and he is of the 6pjnlon that people "JUST TOWN TALK" Copied Right Bj Hike EVERY NIGHT ! a .

Many thousands of opium and mor phine addicts cultivated the drug craving via the liquor route. Moat of the addicts a physician encounters from year to year are persons who began by secret tippling or open drinking. Indeed, a favorite Introduc tion to the opium habit Is the use of certain standard, familiar old "medi cine" which cqntains just enough opium and just enough alcohol to create an appetite for either or both; this medicine Is today freely purchas able by anybody without restriction. The "better quality" liquor which Is so much easier to get in New York these days, according to the authori tative announcement of the depart ment' of public welfare, looks to me like! a darn poor argument against prohibition, unless Mr. Coler and Dr. Fitzgerald believe that by getting all the men In the hospitals they will be able to impress upon the wives and children the iniquity of the eighteenth amendment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pamphlet on Infant Caro A valuable pamphlet which I rec ommended In a special article is pub lished by the children's bureau, de partment of labor, under the title of "Infant Care." Any one may obtain a copy by sending 10 cents to the superintendent of documents, govern ment printing office, "Washington, and asking for a copy of the pamphlet as described. I regret that I made an error when I gave the price as 5 cents. -No price 13 mentioned on the pamphlet; many Buch government publications sell for 5. cents. I fear tho error caused considerable annoy ance to tho superintendent of docu ments,, who had to -write to so many applicants for the extra nickel. If It were a little pig or a cockroach or even a canary, you could get authori tative advice from the government free of charge, but if It is a baby, don't forget to send 10 conts. Tho Best Milk '..Unable to got certified milk In our town. We get raw milk from a good dairy. Our littlo girl is 16 months old. Please send some advice about her diet. Which Is better, raw 'milk from a godd dairy or pasteurized milk? (Mrs. T. P. L.) Answer. Send a stamped ehvolope bearing your address for advice about the diet of babies over a year old. Certified milk, when obtainable, Is the ideal article' for children and is worth all It costs as a health food.

A Hiss nt Timidity Timidity is the most exasperating weakness to which the human char acter is subject. And in no other form of expression Is It more thor oughly irritating than in the love as sociation. I fair ly wrltho when I e n c o u nter tho profoundly tire some gesture of a llmld lover. Love ought to strengthen the nerve and bols ter up the will of a timid person, but, somehow, it doesn't do any thing of tho kind. Why? A girl who is timid will de fer marriage time and time again, and in the end tho object of her passion is defeated. Even when marriage is finally consummated, she finds that It has staled. Long engagements are more often the result of timidity and cowardice than wisdom and caution, although these two virtues are fre quently nothing but timidity In shal low disguise. A man will often marry the girl he doesn't really I0V0 because he doesn't dare come out in the open and :tell her- bo. . I'm not defending the male jilts who; rush a girl, and after having paid ardont court, sud denly tire 1 and retire, leaving her waiting at the church, so to speak. I think such follows are unspeakable cads and tar-and featherln quite too good for-them 1 Jlut I do believe tho time to remedy mistakes is before they are made. Atlmtd man will make a whole lot more mistakes than a blundering fellow who blurts' out the truth bravely and stands by to tnke the consequences. Timidity has no logical place in tho lovers' sun. A modest, shy young lady is adorable. But a timid girl is a fool. Thero Is iron In the soul of every one of us and we must let it function. Face facts' COMMUNICATIONS Not First Woman's Bank.
