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.

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

form, other, lodin. turpentine, cuaia

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

the heat of the body by an oil coat

tor of heat) nnd tho aid given the

nutrition from the oil npplled.

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

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.

much mercury ointment they applied
nor how thoroly they npplled it, the
man didn't absorb even a toenty little
bit.

some portion of his body by means of
external applications is about as ef
fectually shut off from the physio

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

culosis In My Own Home," by J. K.

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.

COMMUNICATIONS
' Regarding Hrother Ixme" and
Butler.
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?
