1'ailiU'd Itutjlii, N, U,
DON'T VOT AGAINST YOUR INTEREST, C
O 9
EFOHK voting nniilst nnnoxation to t lit- city, as sonic of the
property owners, outside of .'dford, of course intend to do,
it iiiijrlit be wJli'or them to anulyze the pblem u little more
carefully. o
What iiiiYkes a lot at the eorniT of Kiversii! and Main, for ex
ample, worth so much more than a lot in lierrydalo or Siskiyou
Heights Extension?
'fhe answer, of course, is population. The more thickly popu
luted a district becomes, the more valuable tho property.
Kor the same reason city property as a general rule is more valu
able than suburban property, not because it is more productive, but
because there are more people living on or near it, and the demand
for possession is greater.
'
Every sane person votes for his own interest. The property
owner .voting against annexation is acting upon the assumption,
that his increase in city taxes will cost him more than any probable
increase in the value of his holdings.
If this assumption is correct his position is sound. .But there is
good reason to believe his assumption is absolutely incorrect.
Some of the most attractive building sites for homes in this vi
cinity, lie in the districts concerned. But while there may be, enough
water for the present population, there will certainly -bo. .no 'water
for any increase in population unless city water-is made available
w
In other words, unless these districts come .into the city, they
will not grow any faster in the future than they have, in the past,
which means very little growth, indeed. . v
On the other hand, if they do come into the city, their growth
is certain, and with their growth the value of every foot of land
will increase materially. ' -
'jhe fear (if taxes! is so iiiKritineil in liiunan nature that the mere
word often blinds the individual to bis own self-interest. There
should be nothing inherieiitly terrifying in nn increase in taxes,
the question is what does that lax-inerease bring?
'.As we see it, the suburban property owner, by voting for an
nexation tomorrow, will get more than his money's worth. In
creased taxes involved will not be an expense, but an investment
which will bring steadily increasing dividends through the 'years
to come.'

number of cases ot joint disease of
unknown cause, although our know

use of the term "rheumatism" is con
stantly decreasing. The main objec

when the real cause or nature ot tho

It denotes some hnrm or Injury from
exposure to cold or dampness, and
that is purely a fanciful notion which
has never been scientifically establish
ed. No one has been able to show
that exposure to cold or dampness has
anything to do with joint disease.
Arthritis means simply Inflamma
tion of a joint, and unless the noun
Is modified by an adjective such as tu
berculosis, gonorrheal, syphilitic, sep
tic and the like, It conveys no idea of
the cause or nature of the trouble with
the joint. To call tho patient's trouble
or chronic arthritis Is to translate what
he complains of Into medical terms; It
Is not a diagnosis. Poor Ansley Braw
Ien's rheumatiz was always "articu
lar" that Is, something- affecting the
joints, and he and his friends com
placently blamed pur - climate and
weather for It. Ansley had a very
successful doctor, too, who, made his
rounds in a swell car with a chauffeur
and ' everything. Ansley was like
thousands of other "rheumatic" suf
ferers and his doctor probably knew
as much as tho average busy practi
tioner of that day. Hut it is now cer
tain that the climate- and tho weather
were blamed for many of the nefarious
activities of the ndw familiar strepto
coccus, just as many n tooth is sacrl

of Arthritis.
to eradicate tlie breeding place of that
versatile tcrm,
.Acute inflammation of several Joints
together or successively, accompa
nied with more or less fever, is still
called "rheumatic fever." although
physicians universally consider it an
infectious disease, that is. duo to bac
terial infection. Tho germs responsi
ble for joint inflammation and fever
generally gain entranco to the blood
stream through which they roach the
lining or the joint or joints, from osme
old or recent throat infection, jsuch as
tonsilitis or quinsy. The streptococcus
is a frequent but by no means the
only cause of such throat infection and
and the secondary join infection is the
pneumococcus, belter known as the
"pneumonia germ." Then there -are
certain strains of a third bacterial spe
cies called the staphylococcus which
cause some of these'throat and second
ary joint infections. Just why It is
that the germs are not confined to the
throat lesions but Invade tho blood
stream and so reach tho . joints or
maybe the lining of the heart In cer
tain individuals, we .cannot explain.
Tho wonder is rather that this com
plication happens in noly a minority
of cases or ordinary soro throat, ton
silitis or quinsy. It happens .often
enough, however, and particularly in
