At any rate this is the charitable view to take. For with only
hnlf of the evidence in, the present administration stands convicted
not only of the coddling madness, but of utter lack of common
sense administration, and the rudiments of prison discipline.
Four desperate men, three of them entitled in n prison break be
fore, were returned. without punishment, without special regulations
being imposed nnd were allowed to bunk together, at least in puirs!
The plot to make a break was tipped off, nnd yet the guard, ii

"Whether any one individual was more to blame than others is
not certain. From what has liecn established thus far, it seems prob
nbln that no one person can fairly be made the goat, but that the
trouble lay with the entire spirit of prison administration, a spirit
of laxity, of amiable optimism, of impractical, rather sentimental
nimlessness, not so much a bad policy as the absence of any defi
nite policy whatever-
In comparison with other prison seandels, Oregon has this to be
thankful for, there is no evidence of graft or corruption, as has
been the case in so many other states, where similar conditions have

May Ik Tills Makes You Tin!.
All fools' day. remember? I told
hero about chronic carbon monoxld
Baa poisoning- and In my sarcastic
way HURKeated that thin condition,
which seems to be In the increase
nowadays. Is commonly assumed to be
anemia, rundown
condition, overwork,
worry, nervous ex
haustion and all
that sort of thing.
Fatal carbon
monoxid poisoning
from the exhaust of
an automobile en
Kino running in a
small closed garage
happens not Infre
quently and every such case Is tragic
evidence of the truth of my convic
tion that there is something radically
wrong with the present system of pop
ular education. If further testimony
is needed, set down the everlasting
shnmo of an occasional drowning fa
tality which is not prevented because
the bystander doesn't know how to
resuscitate these trifles . n ro not
taught in our schools.
Probably it seems a little far fetch-
do, especially to tho highbrow intellect
to attempt to hold faulty education
responsible for such things, but If so
It Is because tho highbrow's concep
tion of education in a shallow one; he
harbors n smug little notion that it is
really possible to have a sound mind
in an unsound body, nnd on that
theory he openly opposes or at best
Assumes a passive attitude toward all
efforts to bring popular education up
to date. That's what makes me tired.
But maybe your tired feeling is caus
ed by some other poison, and I would
commend to your consideration
chronic or occult carbon monoxid gas
poisoning. I'll go to the extreme of
offering you some symptoms of occult
chronic CO-poisoni'ng to try on. hut
In the same breath I . must. warnou
that you't can't fool a doctor with
these symptoms, for he has a test or
two which will quickly detept coun
terfeits. Persons much exposed to tho air of
city streets, tunnels or other places
whore automobile traffic is heavy ore
Ilnble to suffer chronic CO-polsoning.
Whon we consider that it requires no
more than one part of carbon mon
onid gas In 200 parts of all to produce
acute, perhaps fatal CO-polsoning, the
chance of slight chronic poisoning In
the congested traffic docs not seem
so remote
Of courso there are many other
sources of carbon monoxid gas pois
oning. Illuminating gas contains a
Inrgo amount of carbon monoxid. Any
fuel burning with dampers closed may
produce enough enrbon monoxid to
cause poisoning. Any form of hent-
ng applianco or stove, except electric
heat, must have proper connection
with the flue to enrry off the products
of combustion which tiro unsuitable
ur dangerous o breathe, and this Is
regardless of tho question of odors
for the most fatal product of com
bustion, enrbon monoxid, Is both col
orless nnd odorless.

No Heart Speclullst
Please give me the name and ad
dress of a good heart specialist as soon
as possible. (B. L.)
Answer I cannot print names al
ways send a self addressed stamped
envelope for a private answer to such
queries. I do not know of any heart
spociallst in . America, though I can
recommend internists who arc , more
or less skilled in tho diagnosis and
treatment of diseases of tho heart.
An Internist Is a kind of all around
specialist, or tho nearest thing we
have to such a paradox In the reputa
ble ranks; he deals with the ailments
of one's inwards, as briefly if inele
gantly as I qan descrlbo It. That wo
haie not formnlly recognized or des
ignated heart specialists in America is
nttrihutablo to our hidebound, petti
fogging, jealous, backward, provin
cial, illiberal professional spirit, and
that in turn Is probably due to tho nar"
row minded, unfaithful and uncour
toous treatmont accofded profession
nnd medical education by majority of
our people.
Cabbage Ih Good Food
T eat a great deal of raw cabbage
as a salad almost every day in the sea
son. Is there any danger of getting
poisoned? The farmers tell mo they
have to use poison to fight the bugs.
I always soak it In cold water and
rinse it repeatedly, (B. L. S.)
, Answer Thorough washing would
remove any traces of poison which
might be left from spraying. Raw
cabbage eaten ns cold slaw or salad,
is a healthful food, nn excellent source
of iron, vitamins, calcium (lime), sul
phur, roughage.' digestant and, filler.
