F,or some time there has been .a feeling in Oregon that anyone wish ing to qualify in the millionaire class, had but to inove the other side of the SiskiyotiH. " i '. ' ' ' '"'.'. '' ', ' ; But our California friend effectively dispels' this illusion. The lable grape growers in California are busted. The wiue grape grow ers are in serious difficulties. Apples are netting ten cents per box. The cannery market 8 sick. The prune and apricot growers are no better off than those in Oregon. " . Following once more the spirit of Washington, it must, be con fi'ssed that no Oregonian finds pleasure in learning of the misfortunes of a neighbor stijte, but under the circumstances it is desirable fur the people of Oregon to realize that Oregon has no monopoly on initifor tune. Putting alongside these California reports, recent reports from the big apple districts of Washington, and the daily reports of bank fail ures in Montana, Wyoming and tho Dakotas, and one gets a decided impression that all things considered, Oregon is in about as good con dition as any commonwealth west of tho Missouri river. Id fact, southern Oregon, in our modest judgment, is today not only in better financial health than it has ever been, but its future is brighter than any other section of similar si?c, on the Pacific coast. Closing this economic prognosis with one more timely reference to the man whose. natal day we now celebrate, might we reeall the fact that tleorge Washington consistently refused to see somethin brighter oji the .other side of the hill, or on the other side bf the Atlantic: lie was urged to wear an 18-karnt crown and follow the lutest (ieorgaiu style of kuce buckles, lie preferred the customs and habiliments of his own crude new world. George Washington was pre-eminently a wise man, a man of ex traordinary common sense. His example is an excellent one for us all to follow.

IT JS a goodly thiiif?, hi sootji a package from tho ami stop tip to the captain's booth, and pay youi bank to pull, our income tax in full. To step up to the captain s booth and hand out coin you cannot spare, and not as one with' aching tooth, but with a lar$rc and prinecly air! Thi$ is the great and crucial test of love of country, I maintain ; true loyalty warms up the -breast of one who pnys and shows no pain. One patriot for battle begs that martial ardor he may show; he'd lose his shoulder!) lades and les to van quish any tinhorn foe. Hut when he's called upon to die and help to make the wheels go round, he tears some oakum from his wijr, ami makes a sad and plaintive sound. One patriot will gladly run for any office in the land to show his loyalty is spun of threads of silver, strand by strand. But when he's called upon to pay an in come tax to Unclo Sam, he takes a moment off to say uneensored words that rhyme with jam. The truer patriot is he who pays his tax without a sih, and says ho a mighty glad to see the country climbing bills on high. were in error. The fat (laid) fn the ointment merely serves to "extin RUish" tho mercury, that is, it aids in subdivision of the mercury into ex jeedlnjdy minute partlole. Several other very V(j la t i le su b.sta ncen produce syHtemic ef fects when applied or rubbed upon the unbroken skin particularly chloro form, other, lodin. turpentine, cuaia col, the oils or essences of winter green, peppermint and other aroma -tics, camphor, ammonia, menthol and other more or leHH familiar ingredi ents of 'liniments nnd balms. In every instance any systemic effect from such applications is produced by in halation of the volatixed substance. It scarcely seems necessary to add that no nuu-leht is absorbed by tho skin. The one tradition or custom which may seem to suggest the con trary is that of applying olive oil or cod liver oil to feeble infants, some times a valuable aid in sustaining the vitality of the infant. The benefiu accruing from these oil rubs, however ire attributable to the preservation of the heat of the body by an oil coat ing (oil being a poor or slow conduc tor of heat) nnd tho aid given the feeble circulation by tho - massage. There Is no ground whatever for as suming that tho infant derives any nutrition from the oil npplled. Jn short, our hide is about as im pervious as tho elephant s and very lucky it is for us that wo do not ab sorb tho many solid. liquid or gaseous poisons with which we come Into contact every day. letter. I think, to worry along thru life than to go to an early grave worrying about all the dread poisons we should have to worry about if we accepted the favorite notion about the perme ability, from the outside looking in, of this much misunderstood protective integument which we so ' recklessly abuse.; . . , . The curiou.-thoughtful, inquisitive reader of which class I hope I have a few may possibly wonder how tho physiological truth about the way mercury ointment inunctions affect the system was proved. Well, it was simple enough! When such inunc tions nro prescribed, it is customary to vary the region to which the oint ment is applied; from day to day, on tho flank today, on the back tomor row, on the thigh another day, etc. Ho they took a healthy subject and I put him besido a nice little cottage. with his leg thrust in thru an open ing into the cottage. Then they gave his leg a thoro inunction. AH the whilo the man- was breathing nice pure open air..ri And no matter how much mercury ointment they applied nor how thoroly they npplled it, the man didn't absorb even a toenty little bit. The man bent on "building up" some portion of his body by means of external applications is about as ef fectually shut off from the physio logical truth as was the subject of tho cottage test from tho fumes of mercury all that frenzied Inunction within tho cottage raised from his impervious calf. , Don't throw away your liniment or annlgesio balm just because you've listened to my little lecture on physiology. These palliatives are Just as good and comforting as ever, even If wo can smilo at the absurd notion that they "penetrate" and "take holt" of the trouble under the hide. Qt'KKTIONS AXI AVSWKIJS Can't Curt Yourself AVhere can I obtain the book you rocommended. "How I Cured Myself of Tuberculosis at Home"? (C. T. L.) Answer. I certainly would not rec ommend such a book. What I did recommend was a pamphlet entitJed "How I Won the paltlo With Tuber culosis In My Own Home," by J. K. "I've jiint hod. V v give up ilrluklii' fiiim a huh oor, as It wrinkle my forehead." wild Miss Vnwn l.lppiiitHit t'tlay. Most hus hathls nro only sparrln iitirtncrs. most valuable piece of reading tuberculosis patient could . have, I think.' . Measles How long does measles last and how long after, the child Is cured before she can go out? (V. O.). Answer. The illness develops in from seven to 18 days after exposure to infection, and the rash appears after three or four days of illness. The rush lasts four or flvo days and then gradually disapiears. In most communities tho health board regula tions require isolation for a period of not less than two weeks from the onset of the illness. So fat; as tho patient's own health Is concerned, he may go out as soon as he Is able to be up and about. The contagion or In fection of measles is not from the rnsh or tho fine scaling of the skin following the rash, but from the nose and throat discharges In the stage be fore the rash or illness develops. Measles is one of the score or more of respiratory infections transmitted In tho invisibly fine conversational spray, and it is another important rea son why it is a crime to permit any child to attend school, or any teacher, who has what purports to be a "slight cold." Altho not popularly considered so serious, measles Is ns serious as scarlet fever and probably indirectly responsible for more deaths than are caused by scarlet fever.

To the Editor: - LISTEN We were -at Medford to day attending a conference (?) of the Farm Bureau, .Mr, Lowe qf Ashland, who seems to be one of the leading spirits, addressed' the conference on behalf of his own pocketbook. He dramatically told of delivering a can of cream to one of the Ashland cream eries. As he drove up another man was just leuving. "The man In charge of the creamery told Brother Lowe the man just leaving had not bought u pound of butter for months. Bro. Lowe -and creamery man looked at cream. Ero. Lowe telling us he stuck his finger in the cream and It came out hairy. meaning, I take it, mold. Then Bro. Lowe proceeded to follow paid party to a grocery store, found the man Just coming out with a pack ago under his arm, which Bro. Lowe grabbed, found It to be oleomargarine and threw it across tho street, then gave the man 50c and told him to buy some decent butter. We have medi tating on this tale for several hours, and this is our conclusion: First Ashland people who know of Brother Lowe's , predilietion for slick mg his clean ?) fingers in the cream, do not care to eat the butter. Second Since when has It become permissible for Brother Lowe to meet people coming out of stores, to grab their packages, tear them open and throw them across the street? Third Are the people of Ashland so much in awe of Brother Lowe that they permit him to be a hold-up man? Fourth Where was the spirit of liberty under law, when Brother Lowe could stand up In a meeting of supposedly free born American citi zens nnd tell such a tale In the In terest of his own , poekotbook, and go away uurebuked? Has It gotten to be the -case. In Ore gon, that people can not buy and pay for food on sale in -the public market, peaceable carry It home and use it in their families' Supposing we had grabbed Brother Lowe's can of cream, emptied it In the ditch nnd given him 50c to buy oleomargarine? Would he have con sidered us a hero to be applauded for our act or would he have haled us into court to answer for our act of heroism? . ' MRS. W.'M.
