MEDFORD MUST HAVE A THEATRE.,
MEDFORD hns nlways been known as a good "show town."
There have been three ehief renflong for this.
In the first place being situated mid-way, .between Portland and
San Francisco, Medford has been, nnd will always be, a natural stop
ping place for all road companies travelling between these two cities,
which menus all attractions which come to he Pacific coast. i
In the second place the people of Medford and Southern Oregon
are unusually progressive, and can always be depended upon to sup
port the best in musicnl and dramatic entertainment.
In the' third place, Medford has had until the uufortunnte fire, the
first of the year, a good theatre, sufficiently equipped for any attrac-;
tioh, up, to the Burnum and Railey or Chicago Grand Opera class.
Without such a theatre of course, Medford will he passed up by all
legitimate drama which means that Mvdford will be deprived of one of
its most valuable assets.
Medford must have a good theatre. If it enn't be built in one way,
it cJan be built in some other. The idea of abandoning the idea en
tirely is unthinkable. The Mail Tribune is convinced that a new
iheatre will be built, and that the public spirited people of the city
will unite and do everything in their power to assist nny company
or nny group of individuals, who arc willing to undertake the project,

REGARDING COMMUNICATIONS.
THE MAIL TRIBUNE wishes again to call attention to the fact
that no unsigned communications will be. printed in this news
paper and that only under exceptional circumstances when important
issues are involved, can communications over 200 words in length be
used.' -' . -. '

THE GUN.
T RAID to Robert Ginseng Rutin, n youth of fair renown, "It's'
A foolishness to pstuk a giin, as you weave through the town."
"Oh, gaffer, these be parlous times," the goodly youth replied, ,
and godless men, intent on crimes, pervade the countryside. To
liie it seems there is no sense in handing out tho mon without n
try at self-defeise, nnd so I pack a gun." "Far. better dig up
fifty cents than ply it gun," said I; "far better yield to strong
nrm gents than make the bullets fly. You cannot say whojn
you will kill when onee you start to shoot; with slugs nnd buck
shut you may fill some innocent galoot." One night some rough
necks bade him sop and dig tho good long green, and Robert fired
and shot a cop who .hurried to the scene. Now ruined is his use
ful life, and he abides in jail, nnd I have heard his heartsick wife
put up a hitter wail. Remorse, like some old taunting hag, is
with him f nee to face, as wearily the long hours drag, in sorrow
and disgrace. Men say he'll b ac(iiitted when his ease is tried
in court ; he'll not be sentenced to the pen, or made the hangman's
sport. Hut life will always spell despair to Robert Ginseng Burn) ;

Offagln Onugln
"If one could only find a few simple
nourishing foods," writes one of those
comely creatures who certainly take
up my time, "a few simple nourishing
foods which are not fairly 'alive with
thtfse exercrabe culories which seem,
to have gotten into almost everything
that Is really good
to eat, a fellow,
might practice 'girth
control' easily
enough. ,But, my
sturs. If I go to bed
after a good feed li
dream of calories,
and 1 vitamins '-ahd.
things - chasing riio
all -night, and If I
retire h u n gry I
spend the 'night
cooking 'toothso m ej
c a r b ohydrates ' for
other folks to eat. I wish you'd ex
plain how they do it.'those marvellous
personswho grit their teeth 'and re
duce, 30 pr 40 pounds with no trouble
at nil,"," . '
It Isn't Just because that's the way.
I like 'em that I devote so much at
tention to fat folks here. It Is be
cause they are so short lived, as com
pared with the slim ones, whdtover
we're going to do for them we've got
to do now, for tomorrow they may
weigh still more and it is the pound
ago that drags 'em away.
One good way is to use your teeth
Instead of lust gritting them; use
them nftor the fashion which the late
Horace Fletcher taught. The idea Is
that by more complete mastication of
each" morsel (Fletcher advocated,
chewing It till all savor Is lost) a
greater relative amount of nutriment
Is obtained from tho same amount of
food, so that one feels satisfied with
less food.
I believe that the whole secret Is
right ' there. ' The national sin of
overeating Is largoly a ' matter of
speed mania It requires positive
strength of -will and character to,
ignore the example of hasty eating
which. .you encounter everywhere and
take your food leisu'roly'and with suf
flcient mastication. Kemember, Amer
ica is fond of rusn rush to get across
'the' track so 'we can stop and Watch
the train from the other side, if we
make it 'all right.' . "
Another good way for fattish folk
to llye bhger Is by giving their teeth
a complete rest on two or three days
each Week, ' preferably ' days distrlbutd
thru the week. That is. spend these
days on theTeglmen which Sr. Karell
Introduced nnd I made almost' popu
lar. That's the way moBt of (the mar
velous feats ' of reduction described
from time to time by our correspon
dents have been accomplished, tho de
termination has been the good nlly of
these fat ones.' The' reason I have
advocated the Karell regimen .for per
sons who in my judgment need it is
not merely that It reduces weight, but
thnt it improves general health and
well .being, as the slacker flesh is
burned away. I dislike to print bad
news. ' Therefore when one of these
fat oneB who has reduced 30 pounds
on the Karell regimen writes mo later
how she had fallen again among high
livers and is putting it 'on again at a
great rate, ,1 sympathize with her, of
course, but space forbids printing her
letter, you understand. It Is morbid
and depressing. '
and must sny you write most sarcnstl-,
cally. What Is the matter, doctor,
have you been disappointed in love or
are your finances in bad shape? We
hope you are not married. Imagine
a woman having to put up with your
sarcasm all the time. 'Bince 'readlng
your, articles' I have learned -to love
my husband more each day. Cheer
up and smile n, -while. Mrs. J. N. C.)
Answer. Your Insight is uncanny.,
I was disappointed in 'love and my
finances are In terrible shape. Had I
been able to marry, say. four women
like my first wife; each sharing equal
ly her good nature, 'endurance, good
looks and good appetite, I might have
turned out differently, but the poor
thing hi pining awlay under , the cruel
,Anmant annnnlllrf .hap VlV her first
huBband. Tier children and 'tny .chlW
dren get along ilrly well, "but his
folks and her'n well, yqti know how
It goes. Anyway I am glad my mean
disposition has made you appreciate
your husband more. ,
