BIGOTRY WILL SOON DIE OUT.
A Rev. Francis I'. 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 . .

NO ENTERPRISE.
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.

In these days everyone drinks water. 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.

THE GREATKST THISO IN THE
... WORLD
by Laurel Grax
Tho Art or Marriage
,Ah, here's a cash customer. A
gc.ntlern.nnly ;rjeader writes to inform
me mat he suoscrines to tnts esti
mable leader , of
human thought
and current In
telligence for no
other purpose
than to. read the
dally utterance
whfch emanate
more or less
spontaneously in
this pulpit. 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.
