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.

THE STATESMAN.
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.

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

who drink will not resort to drugs
so long as they are able to get good
liquor.
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

THE GREATEST THING IN THE
WORLD
Ey Laurel oray.
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
