Puffy, chaplain of the famous Sixty-ninth Regiment, and a well-known Xew York Catholic priest, had to go in swimming before a certain regiment," says the Literary Digest, i "It was during war-traming time at Camp Mills and the test was required and satisfactorily passed. Because Father Duffy was of mother faith, which they had been taught to abhor and fear, some of the soldiers thought he was allied to the. one of the cloven foot and forked tail. Father Duffy relates similar experiences elsewhere, and once in Indianapolis, he recently told a meeting of "the Catholie Writers' Guild in New York, the leader of the choir at a gathering of ex-soldiers he was to address threatened, to walk out if he should appear on tho platform. However, two soldiers, a Free Uaptist and an Episcopalian, suggested that the disgruntled choir lcador was fit only for a certain place frequently mentioned in theology and in warm debate, and the meeting went on. But bigotry will soon be discredit; ed, believes Father Duffy, and will eventually die out. Meantime he bcspeiikes an attitude of peace, and suggests that those of his own fold allay all possible cause of friction and misunderstanding. As the New York Catholic News quotes him, he continues: "The attitude of our Bishops hns been admirable. " Thoy caution, us against reprisals, and hid us go about our dally tasks quietly, trying -to prove to our fellow- citizens that wa are good Americans as well as good Catholics. We arc not the ones to run a paper to attack Protest ants and to lie about them; to rejoice In any scandal In which their clergy may be Involved. We do not talk in our pulpits against their . standing. W argue things religious, and It Is true we would, like to. sec them all Catholics. No person can find fault with a man trying to convert others to his views. What we object to Is the violation of the. common rules of life, especially to lying. There are Individuals and. , there aro great churches who deliberately lie when they discuss the Catholic church." "Catholics hold an 'admirable position so far in this matter,' says Father Duffy, but he gives this caution:- "We must take a stand against the narrow-minded within our own fold. Take, for Instance, the matter of freemasonry. I am bitterly op posed to tho attempt made by some Catholics to create a state of fric tion between the Catholic church and the Masonic order. It la true that a Catholic. cannot be a Mason; neither, can he be an Episcopalian. The Mosona we know, and particularly the leaders of Masonry, anc not anti-Catholic. There Is no feeling of- nntagbntsm between the rlest and the Maaon. We have inherited our. views of Masons from other countries and from other, times, Thore la no reason why we should go out of our wny to stnrt a fight with the MuRons. Thcro arc CatSiolics who ore hindering the work of men like Justice Tompkins wljo are doing all in their power to keep their ancient and honorablo order from going over to the dark wuys of. bigotry as some of its wily mambera would have It. "Wa have a great work to do to lay down bigotry, and Catholics must not do anything to hinder that work. Justice Tompkina and nil tho rest of us, Catholics, Jews and Protestants, must work together to reduce the source of friction. . , . . "We have 'our task to do; we have our religious llfo to build up. nnd wo have our national llfo to build up In co-oporatlon with our fellow citizens.. If wo can go along serving our church and our country as a Blncore. putrlotlc body, then all tho force of anti-Catholic bigotry will go to pieces. I am glad that thla bigotry has come Into tho open; It ' is most dangerous when It is hidtlen. It will comq Into conflict with tho law and will bo wholly discredited, and five or ten years from now there will not bo a man now connected with it who will not. bo trying 1 to lie himself out of lit" - v .... i . . QUILL POINTS Every community has a man who is made chairman of everything because nobody else is willing to do the w6rk. : Not all of the Chinese bandits are holding up tourists.

T 'M OFTEN joshed mid chiddon by caustic passers-by,' for I have never ridden in airships to the sky; I've never gone a-soaring in vessels loudly roaring up there where stars are pour ing their light on things that fly: In this resolve I'm bolsterod when I survey the air; the earth is not upholstered, no snubbers' do I wear; and if an airship stranded and on the earth I landed my works' would bu disbanded, ami I'd be prone to swear. I blush with shame when people inquire if I have flown up higher than the steeple, up where the clouds arc blowu; for all the rest have tried it; they find a plane and ride it, up to the moon they guide it; I walk and I alone. I much admire the daring, the dauntless and the bold.' who in their planes go faring through dangers manifold; I sing them, as they teeter, in sonnets sweet and sweeter, in short and common metre, but my own feet are cold. Men say there nre in flying sensations grand and new, and none should think of dying before he's soared a few; but I won't leave my knitting; I'd le afraid of hitting a pasture field and splitting this blumed old globe iu two. Oil, let the airmen wander in ether lanea afar, in empty reulms up yonder, adjacent to a star; their lives are high and cleanly, their curves art" smooth and queenly, but I '11 jog on serenely in my old pewter ear.

Tho lleaihiff of Vlccr An ul'fer it. any open sore or f raw place Ve-hlch la left on the skin or the lining mucous membrane after tho loss of subdtance from the surface. Jt has nothing to do with cancer , or tu mor, though. cancer sometimes, develops In the site of an old. ulcer, such, as. an unhealed vari cose ulcer on the leg or a gastric, ulcer (in the stomach). Persons with vari cose . veins , in . the lega are, more likely to have ulcers bo cause the skin and underlying tissues get poor nourish ment when the veins are enlarged and dilated, hence the natural processes of repair are incapable of taking care of. slight Injuries. When inflamma tion occurs in the wall of a varicose vein (phlebitis) the clotting of blood occurs, within the inflamed vein (thrombosis) a- lender, - hardenecUor indurated, bunch forms in or under the skin;-this hardened , place may break down at the. center, supporate and finally produce an ulcer. The first lesson, the. victim of an ulcer, of whatever cause or nature, must learn, the lesson which many sufferers are slow to learn, is that no known medicine, chemical or, sub stance or ointment or salve or lotion or concoction or remedy or liniment or stuff will heal an ulcer. Lest I give a false impression of hopelessness, let me hasten to add that every varicose ulcer and every other kind of ulcer, (barring ulcers in which cancer has developed) may be persuaded to heal by, nature's own process if proper medical or surgical treatment is, available; it is available wherever good physicians are.to.be had. The victim of chronic, varicose ulcer of-months or years' duration suffers by reason of successful evasion of just ordinary intelligent medical treatment. In the great majority of cases. To have a varicose ulcer is a misfortune which may come to any body with varicose veins; to keep such an ulcer is. the prerogative . of those who believe it is just as well to "try" this or that remedy or treat ment as It is to procure .medical care. Probably the credulous victims, would not so willingly experiment- upon themselves, if they could grasp the truth and significance of the first les son which I have just given, namely, that nothing but, nature can or - wilj heal an ulcer.- ' ' In extolling nature in hearing I do not use a capital N. Nature would doubtless take care of all healing pro- ; cesses without human aid or direction i if human ways and customs were nat- j ural, but as things are, nature must , be intelligently directed, prrather, the ! skill of tbe physician or sugeon is necessary to keep nature's way cleared of impediments. The ulcer patient who attempts to doctM himself is no exception to the rule which character izes such conduct; he generally suc ceeds In placing more impediments in nature's way. Nearly everybody tries It at one time or another. For Illustration, Imagine the ama teur applying and removing his "heal ing" salve or concoction, and each time destroying or tearing away the delicate and probably unnoticed film of new, epithelial cells, with, which nature is struggling to pave the sur face of the ulcer. This is but one of a great-many injuries unwittingly done when the victim of. a chronic or long standing ulcer, undertakes to manage the treatment himself. It la no won der, so many folks keep their, ulcers for aye and a day. : QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS i The Blood Thinning BusIucks ' I like to drink salt water In the morning.' Have been told it will thin my blood. How can that be possible when satl water is injected to produce blood in. anemia? 1 drink it because it regulates my bowels. . . (H. B.) Answer. They Inject what is called physiological or "orntaT' salt solution, .which fs about. a teaspoonful ot salt, in the pint, because that is approximate ly the salt strength of the blood and other body fluids, but the solution is" Injected merely, to restore volume and to stimulate, not tq produce . blood. Ben Told is in error in saying salt will thin your, blood; if salt has any .unde sirable effect on the blood it is. rather to . thicken it, because It withdraws water from the blood. Perhaps you'd get equally satisfactory results from a good swig of water, hot or, cold, mor nings, but if you prefer using some salt in the water. .1 don't think it will do you any harm. Yes. a Man Can Stop Is there any way to atop a man 30 years of age from, smoking clgarets? He has tried several times to break the habit but without success. Do you think smoking harmful? , 1 this man eventually breaks the smoking habit, would he be likely to turn, to evil diversions? Sometimes I. think smoking is a harmless pacifier. Other times I imagine it dulls the senses. Does smoking affect the eyesight? Some men don't smoke at all. Do you suppose, it- is. because- they, have a strong will power? (F. H.) Answer. A man can , break the smoking habit. mouse may need a pacifier. A man doesn't. A man may smoke, I' think, without Injury to his own health and without offending any one else. I. doubt that a man would smoke clgarets that way. Temperate or moderate, smoking does, not do a man any harm, tho it certainly does injure the physical and moral health of a child. 94 JUST TOWN TALK" ' Oapted Rlsfat By Mike A BIGGER AND BETTER MEDFORD Fads and Fi(ures Taken From the Official Records to Show That Medford and the Rogue River Valley.

The sensational increase in water consumption indicated ahove merely confirms from another angle the truth of the statement that Medford is bigger and better today than ever before in its history. Of course the almost perpon Jicular rise in 1917 is partly accounted for by the fact that water rates were increased, thus increasing the receipts, but the fact re inakis that the receipts since the boom year of 1911 have doubled, and aro steadily climbing. The main factor in this rise lias been a steady and consistent growth, in the city. Mr. Calvin Coolldge.. ' President of the V. ?. Washington. D.

Ah. that will make tho sports editor awfully angry. But like all per sona who write me flattering letters this correspon dent has a little private ax to grind. He desires me to indite a "stronc" article about the'art of marriage. Well after all, I admit that marriage Is an art. '-although for the life of me, I can't think whv my correspondent de sires a "strong" artlMe about it when we have thousands and thousands of living, breathing pulsing' examples of the enterprise right here, In our very mldsth. But the "art" of marriage engages my fancy. YeS, tt la an art. And curiously enough It requires a certain genius to make it an artistic success. The man and woman who are calm and placid In their contem plation ox each other'a virtues and vices have learned the art or they are born with native genius for mar riage. There are such men and women and It is. rather agreeable to consider so many who are married to each other. There are so many un happy Eves In this town who would he perfectly wretched If hooked up with some other Adams. And I'm sure there are Adams In this town who would go out in the barn and hang themselves if they were married to some other Bves. The art ot mar riage means to brinsr out nil the warmth and feeling of cold inani mate marble. That is the Inspiration of the artist who spreads colors on the blank bare canvas and makes a picture. I like to think of marriage in that way. Thank you, Mr. J. H. H. for calling my. attention to the ART of marriage. (Copyright John F. Dllle Co.)
