MILTON THE SUDDKX DEATH o Milton Janes comes as a terrible shock to. his many friends, and a distinct loss to the community, "In the jiriinc of life, endowed with splendid health, with every thing to live for and every reason, both from a personal and commu nity standpoint lie . should live, this sudden taking away, repre sents one of those tragedies of human life, which it is impossible to understand and to which it is difficult to become reconciled. t t , Quiet in disposition, but tireless in the spirit of service, Mr. Janes represented the very highest type of enlightened and public spirited citizenship. Efficient in business, generous and kindly in his per. sonal relations, never trying to seek personal glory or advantage, but always invaluable to any cause in which he enlisted, Mr. Janes' place both in bis neighborhood ami in the community, will indued be diffi cult to fill.

They do not stop to consider that tho "Red" would be a thinir in theory rather than in reality if It wore not that seven and seven-, tenths percent of our entire popula tion of people ton years of ago or abovo can neither read nor write. It is upon these people that the "diseonj tenter" preys. Discontent., which (jon urally takes tho form of destruction always orit'lnates among tho illiterate. Educato tho seven and seven-tenths per cent of our population and tho anarchist will starve or b to work. As every ono knows, a "Ked" or two llvins anions a group of Ignorant workmen causes troublo. Tho welfare of society of a nation is dependent upon the success of Its industries. If production Is hindered, human lives lost, properly destroyed, the safety of society 1h greatly endangered. To say that our. death rate from contagious diseases would bo cut in half if tho seven and seven-tonths per cent -were educated may seem far fetched. Hut Bkknss due y ignorance exists everywhere. . Localities whero many illiterate ' people live have an amazingly higher death rate from contagious maladies than do commu nities where practically every ono reads and writes. Threo things are dangerous to tho welfare of tho United Stales "Heds" ooupled with agitation, sickness, and the Impairment ot industry. In other words the threo things can bo summed up in ono word, "illiteracy." . Impairments of industry, whllo Interwoven with sickness and discon l,it. needs a word or two of Its own. Accidents hinder production nnd, in iiii'ii. Industry. In New lorK utty alont', whero eight hundred thousand illiterate workmen nre empioycii as factory hands til. 500. 000 was pnld in l!UtS In accordance with the Work man's Compensation Law. If loss of wages, labor turnovers, doctor's bills, and court disputes were added this total would rnch an enormous sum of $35,000,000. This gigantic loss in ono city is bound to make some im pression on production. Higher prlcos result und society in goneral suffers. If the losses from nil tno illltoreni parts of the country were summed up a nice fortuno would botho result. Tho same tale of woe is told by all Industrial officials. "Illiteracy" can well be substituted for "woe." In Henry Ford's factory fifty-tour per cent of tho accidents havo fallen off since the school for his employees was opened In 1914. If such glgantlo results rim lie obtained in such a short period in a small way, thlnk what could be accomplished it carried out on a large scale. A few statistics may help to show the inexponsiveness of education. Kor every twenty-five doljars, or pproxi mntely that, spent on tobacco, rouge, nnd such nonsense, only nine dollars and thirty cents Is spent on education, so the cost of educating those illiter ate people is a small Item. In llussla we have a good example Oleosa , ... the frightful aroma of the lotion, tho 1 some persons do not object to the j odor; This lotion,-a yellow grayish ! white mixture, must be well shaken I up each time, just before it fs applied, lit should be applied by dabbing It on the akin with the fingers, and allow ing it to dry on. It may be used each I night, each alternative ' night or in some cases two or three times daily. "Wash it off next morning. After a week or two, if it is used frequently, some Irritation of the skin may be no ticed. If so, set the medicine on the shelf over the sink for a week or two, then resume as needed. - f Ql'FSTIOXS AXI) ANSWKHS Tho Mats and the Weight "Will eating a couple of sweet rolls and coffee for breakfast, a bowl of milk with six graham crackers and a sweet roll for lunch, and a fruit salad and a combination salad for. supper make one lose, or gain weight?

No. Home is the best place to get well, It would be exceed lngly unwise to consider any move un less your physician deems it neces sary and you are able to havo proper medical care and living conditions in the new home. - - Dog Ultos Boy; Mother Angry Can any. harm come from my little :boy being snapped by a dog that had a wrestle with n dog six months ago that must have been In the first stages of hydrophobia because he went mad right afterward. In fact ho never came home again but roved about bit ing things and when killed and exam lned was declared to have rabies. I am uneasy .for fear the hoy should develop something, should tho dog go mad later, as some people say. , (Mrs. E. D.) Answer. If tho dog that bit your boy did not havo rabies at the time, there is nothing to worry about. Never mind. . The safe and sane course should adviso is this: do not kill the dog, but see that he Is confined under the observation' of a Veterinary ror two weeks. If tho veterinary reports that tho- dog remains well for two weeks, shake hands all around and forget It. If the veterinary has any doubt of the dog's condition, kill the dog and havo the head examined by the health authorities. Nowadays the Pasteur antlrabies- treatment can be administered by any physician any where, if it is necessary. of how dangerous illiteracy is to tho safety of a nation. Are we coming to this? If-lgnoranoe among -our. people continues to increase it Is not im possible. '" '. Is tho groatest nation financially and morally; tho founder of democ racy for which our forefathers fought; the highest civilized nation Of tho globe; tho most prosperous: the na tion whoso very existence Is based on "All men -are .created equal";' is it going to follow the footsteps of Rus sia? Can nil mon havo an equal chanco if some are ' educated and some not? Will the uneducated bo content to labor and reap no harvest? Russia is your example. Illiteracy Is tho disease of our gov ernment; education the backbone and remedy. Which do you prefer? Kdmond Morris. . . . .Illiteracy Is truly a menace to the United States. It is not only a men ace, but if not remedied will be the downfall, for was It not Illiteracy that caused that ' great cataclysm, the downfall of the strong and seemingly impervious empire of the Romans? Was it not Illiteracy that caused the dark period Just after the death of Christ when even history was blotted out? Yes, Illiteracy could even be tho destruction of the world. It Is hard to realize that peoplo livo hero who cannot read or even write their own names,' but there nre, thou sands of them, with more coming in every day. This is truly a sad state of affairs ns these peoplo will fall Into the hands ot agitators who by their persuasive speech can easily turn them ngnlnst tho government, for how nre they to know the right? They cannot read it and they do not know anybody except members of their own class. It was on account of this ignorance ot the right that Russia wus kept from being the strongest nation in tho world today.-. One man, t)ie czar, believed that If ho kept the people in ignorance and darkness ho might rule with undisputed power. Ho suppressed education, but overlooked tho fact that theso people with no minds of their own could easily bo turned against him if the agitation should ever bo started. Tho Inevit able happened, the agitation started, the cznr was overthrown nnd killed, and their nation that might have been great is now in a seething state of revolution nnd unrest. - ' This ono Incident of modern tlme3 should be enough to convince the people of the United Stntes of the need to suppress Illiteracy at all costs. Conditions of this kind are ever pres ent nn Is seen In the labor nnd class troubles. Fortunately, there Is com- :n.l..t.. tmA-nMft' A title. time, though the percentage Is always I increasing because of the influx of j Immigrants. ' Immigration Is a problem that Is, going to take the clear thought of every person In this country, for In Its ' solution is the preservation or de struction of the race. The only pro per solution to save from destruction Is education, nnd tor this reason Illit eracy must bo stamped out. Albert Allen. THE 'GREATKKT THING IX. THE ,ri n .'. . WORLD.. ' !.. " I A 'byJ-LauroI' Gray-'.. J 'C Quick', Wutfioii, the Needle. Relng in love is, ot course, an ad diction. Some folks tnke love line a habit. They are usually . married young and re main in a toler- a bW e state of happiness for a life time.' They are tho temper ate addicts. Then there are 'the love spree . ad dicts. They are periodicals. ' It comes on ' "em all in a sudden blind in a blinding, sudden flush and during the pe- r'iod, of .tfitt, attack they are awful. Hiiei'r -friends wish .they would go and 41.0 somewhere jOiitslde the house. IS'o science' can penetrate the reasons for tho attacks of tho man or womuu who Is cold, aloof, disdainful ten months of the year, nnd then for two racing months, entirely submerged In love. Any more than science can ex plain tho individual who "never touches a drop" during ten months of the year, but during the other two months Is a confounded nuisance to the world in generai. Then there is tho type of sly, lone love-drunkard. Hub his passion tucked uway some whore over on the other side of town and expresses his emotion either in picture postcards or maybe taking her to the neighborhood movio every Tuesday night regulur and,the follows down at tho office don't suspect htm at all. ;1, know a spinster cashier, she's thirty, now. who has a middle- aged court clerk sweetheart, and they've been -loving each" other for years. Nobody kn6ws but me. Some day they are going to be married They are secret love-drunkards. But none of us are immune. It is just as unrespectable to boast that you don't make tt. fool of yourself In this love business as it is to bonnt that- you nover touched a drop of liquor in your . life. If you don't, it Is merely because you don't want to.

Dllle Co;) COMMUNICATIONS More Aiicnt Football Game To the Editor: Now: that the greater portion of the criticism of football and sports manship has been discussed, we might add another'light to the matter. ! might state that I am thor oughly in accord with tho majority, in that the sport fans of Medford are very courteous to any visiting team, which criticism can be bused only upon a player's ideas, an dthat Med ford's players on tho field have been coached and have shown that 'they are clean in sports, by having approx imately two and ono half hours of the most severe grueling of the most inefficient officiating I have ever witnessed on a football field along with a great deal of iinspo'tsman like playing of cloven supposedly football players. ' However, ns I started to say In criticism of the game of last Satur day,' I would not cast all the blame upon tho Salom representatives. I might say that my first impression of Mr. Huntington s conscientious Inter est in coaching or handling athletlco was shown here Saturday morning when he extended his extreme' ef forts to select officials to suit his own desires. This, in my ' estimation, should have been -very carefully weighed before, being permitted by inembAis of the local school, who were in position to understand and who should have watched such things from a very interesting standpoint, And I Teel suro that in the future, after their experience of last Satur day's gut no, we will be assured" of a greater efficiency in officiating of such athletie contests. .
