As long as own affairs, to pay much attention is given a higher value in political farce will continue. ' Abraham Lincoln said you can time, and all the people some of the the time.

' The National Republican Committee tho other day reversed itself on cutting out "the Southern (leleute..scaiidal." A few rebel yell speeches were made and the thing were again given a representation strength, and the North was given a larger representation to sugar coat the dose. ' There probably isn't a member of the National committee who be lieves this action was morally right. The parly convention should accurately represent the party will, but such an arrangement gives the south a strength which renders a just parly representation im possible. ' ,' . i Naturally Hiram Johnson of California complains, because tho ad ministration controls the Republican South and he doesn't. But Hi ram's pose of righteousness is only amusing to the initiated. If the k. nditions were reversed, he as a good politician, would keep still. When votes are concerned, all politicians are the same. The na tional committee knows the negro vote in the north, with the recent negro hegira northward, has become a genuine political factor. For fen r of losing that vole the reform upon which the lute President Harding had set his heart, was thrown to the fishes. .It was ever dims. , In the nation, the state, or tho county the general conditions are the same. And in the final analysis, not the politicians, but the people are lo blame, for they persist in rewarding tho cleverest politician with their votes.

GIVING. MEDFORD, ORECiON, Personal Health Service , J By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. x - Notmd Phyticlan and Author Bettor Ta A letter came In here the other day from a lady who lately had toted con siderably more heft than is really safe or even comfortable. I dare not print it because as It is some folks suspect I have enough lmag- inauon to write nc- lady before and after she began solu tion. But this lady ' ersaulting and symphoning we would pives her solem-i 'find at least some additional explana word for It that she tlon for the remarkable reduction she has accompl I s h e d ' has experienced.

Her regimen' which has brought about the phenomenal reduction Is something like this: , First thing in the morning she rolls out of bed and does some 30 somer saults before dressing. I have always Insisted that somersaults are not ex ercise but this lady asserts that 30 rolls before breakfast are exercise. She then goes to breakfast and dis poses of a bit of fruit, two. or three slices of toast and usually iwo cups of coffee made after the Brady for mula, that is, without boiling. After breakfast she docs her usual house hold work which she seems to think is some more exercise, tho I seem to have Intimated the -contrary. H?r routine "work" finished, she . grabs n vv inn. uiiu aun ts uui iur ner juui n- ing hike, covering anywhere from three to eight miles, pedometered, be fore she gets back home, , If she covers six or more miles In the forenoon, thnt is sufficient to comply with her day's stint.

This she does because It ex- hilaratcs, whether it helps to reduco or not. Then she arrives at the end of a perfect day rolling another 30 somersaults, and so to bed. I am willing to concede that such a program does certainly help to pre vent the accumulation of superfluous weight. But I still maintain that even tho such a regime be faithfully fol lowed eyery day it will not materially reduce weight unless the diet Is rea sonably restricted at the same time, "JUST TOWN TALK" Copied Right By Hike - 'i Rochester, Minn. Editor "Just Town Talk": I'm a 'plumber by trade, and while plumbers are supposed to be rich, I can't say that I am. And about a week ago I went Into one bf our local stores and bought a shirt for four dollars. It was an awfully pretty pattern. I ask ml tho man who waited on me whother !t would fade. He said it wouldn't and so I bought It. It came back from the laundry today and I wish you could see it. ,It'B the most discour aged shirt I've ever looked at. What would you advise doing about It?
