it must bo her spleen. On consult

she found that dis

were caused by

you consider it se

nevertheless I still blush over my

as you find under tho whatnot In the
dark corner of tho country parlor.
One of tho saddest cases of doctor
bookitls I encountered when I was
an honest family doctor was that of
a promising it not paying young
mnn who had. learned in a doctor
book that the medicine Just common

Any "doctor book" which purports
to enablo tho layman to diagnose
and treat his own or another's ail

thing to have in the house. There
are innumerable "doctor books"

forming the unsophisticated layman
and taking money away from tho
fool whilo he is in a dazed, self
satisfied condition. These books are
shrewdly arranged, with a certain
amount of truth or fact in them.
Just enough to Impress tho unsophis

necessary bunk, tho deception and

keep tho house too warm and that it
in bad for my health, r certainly
hato the cold weather., Is it because
I have poor blood or poor circula
tion? What temperature should tho
living rooms be? C. T.
Answer The healthful tempera
ture for living rooms Is from 64 to
68 degrees P. When the, tempera
ture is artificially raised 'above 68
It becomes very difficult or practi
cally impossible to . maintain a far
degree of humidity or moisture in
the air by any means. This makes
tho atmophero tough on health; on
complexions and everything. It would

COMMUNICATIONS
Ah to It. W. Pil(8 Statement.
To the Editor:, ' ' 1
In the Mail Tribune report of the
sportsmen's banquet held at the Hotel
Medford Thursday evening, April
16th, it quotes Itepresentative Kirk
wood as asking the members of the
game commission present whether tho
removal of Ben Dorris "means a com
ing change in the employees of that
body, particularly with reference to
Captain A. 33. Uurghduff, state game
warden."
When it came Commissioner Price's
turn to reply to this question the
Tribune reports him as follows: ' "It
was a surprise to mo as well as to all
of you. I am not interested in Indiv
iduals, but only in the best interests
of fish and game."
I think this report of what Mr.
Price said' can be verified by every
one within tho sound of his voice.
To those members of the Jackson
County Game Protective Association
who know the circumstances sur
rounding the removal of Mr. Dorris.
this statement' made by Mr. Price was
amazing. Personally. I almost doubt
ed my sense of hearing. We not only
had the authority of the ' Portland
Journal that Commissioners Price and
Maloney hud made a trip to Salem and
had been clouded with the governor
just prior to the removal of Mr. Dor
ris, but the executive committee of
the Jackson County Game Protective4
Association had verified this report by
a free use of the telegraph and tele
phone to friends in Eugene, Salem and
Portland who were close to tho gov
ernor and to the members of the
game commission. ' ' "
Every sportsman who heard Mr.
Price mnke.the cryptic utterance quot
ed above is privileged to draw his own
conclusions as to what was meant
when he said, In referonco to the re
moval of Mr. Dorris, "It was a sur
prise to mo as well as to all of you,"
However, this pert of Mr. Price's
statement Is relatively of small im
portance. The part that I shnll at
tompt to analyze is this: . "I am not
Interested in individuals, but only in
the best interests of fish and game."
That my motive may not be misun
derstood in the analysis and exposi
tion of Mr. Price's words and acts in
reference to game matters, I wish to
say that he and I have always been
good friends and are still, I hope, t
fully recognize that he- has some ad
mirable qualities.. He has ability, he
has energy, Initiative and persistency.
and I will try to tell in tomorrow's
Tribune how he is using these desiri
ablo attributes to disrupt and demor
alize the present game organization
and game program in the state of Ore
gon. Everything ( may say will be en
tirely on my own responsibility and In
itiative. The whole 'business noeds a
public airing. The nportsmon need not
fear publicity. Let's -cet all tho rorri.
on the table, then we can decide
whether it is a crooked game or a
straight one. BERT ANDERSON.
