TONOIR
The tonguo Is a muscle located
Inside the face and fastened ut
one end. The front end Is the loose
one. In some Individuals It Is
looser than In others.
The tongue Is used to rrush
food, to moisten a hundkerchlef
when It Is necessary to wash u
child's face In public, to move gum
from one side to the other, to keep
the upper plate in position, to
make business for divorce courts
nd to elect candidates.
If a boy has a sliver tongue he
grows up to be an orator and de
votes his life to pointing out tho
duty of other peoplo. Hllver
tongues aro no longer In grent de.
ntund, except In districts where
men sleep In their underwear.
IShtitp tongues are peculiar to
tho female of the h pud on. In
I'urltan das tho possessor of a
hharp tongue wan called a com
mon scold and was ducked In a
pond. Now. however, tongues of
this type are no longer monopo
lized by the female sex, and mules
who possess them are catted re
formers and young Intellectual.
If they are reformers, they runs
everybody who disagrees with
them, and If they are young Intel
lect uals they cuss America.
AVhen the loose end of a tongue
Is not working It rests ngnlnut (lie
roof of the mouth. In New Kur
land the tongue occupies this po
sition the greater part of the time,
but even a New Kngbtnd tongue
will leave Its parking (dace and
rattle with great cnthuslumm when
the owner surrounds about three
fingers of patent medicine. Attend

has a similar effect.
Ox tonguo Is u delicacy greatly
enjoyed by some Individuals. It Is
not expensive, and If enten with

HONEST HYPOCRITKS
(t'ong. Koconl)
There Is also this to be consid
ered: These backwurd peoples
have a moral rude of their own.
And they do not willing. y enter
Into lasting business relations with
civilized men. Those backward
folks do business In their own way
and according to their own 1
tlons. They often lie and cheat
nnd are hard to do business with.
Our civilised business men will
then tell you that It Is therefore
necessary for the purposes of trade
and civilisation that these back
ward nations or ancient nations
be compelled to be "honest
that they be compelled to live up
to such rules of conduct us will
muko trade possible and lucrative

CALIFOENIA PRIZE FIGHTING PROBABLY DOOMED
THE SAX FRANCISCO EXAMINER lias started a vigorous
campaign against prize tightn in tluit state It in snnievh;g
amusing to are Mr. Hearst hiii! the Ministerial Association
joining hands in a purity crusade. Nevertheless the campaign
will probably succeed.
This is not because prize fihtinc, or limited boxing bouts
to a decision, such ure lc:alized in California are so wicked,
but because the entire sport in California has become so de
moralized.
In England the so-called manly art of self-defense has been
carried on, without interuption for centuries, and promises so to
continue. Crooked fihts over there are practically unknown.
Professional boxers not only have a certain standing, but the
best people, usually in "evening clothes," attend the matches.
British fifjlit followers are not all 'lily whites" perhaps, but the
underworld is in a minority and does not control the game.
It is yery different in California. "With a few notable ex
ceptions prize fightinK across the line is controlled by the must
undesirable element in the state. Instead of beini$ a riiKKed,
manly sport, boxing has become merely a sordid, easy-money
graft.
The respectability which the World War gave the fistic
game has almost entirely vanished. One by one those who
really like boxing when conducted on the square, between
evenly matched opponents, have dropped by the wayside, giv
ing control almost entirely to the tin-horns and tin-ears, who
eare nothing for the sport, except the money they can make
from it.
As a result public opinion in California can easily be aroused
and the repeal of the prize fight law can easily be brought
about.
Even those who would naturally be in favor of legalized
boxing, will be found fighting it because they are sick of the
crookedness and rowdyism which have attended it.
For such a condition the leaders of the sport have only them
selves to blame.

prove the individual's health. Tho

Away back, muybe before de wah
you printed a recipe for some prep
a ration to put in thQ groove at the
edge of an ingrown nail, to harden

same pesky monstrosities I think
you declared in your customary
nonchalant manner that there Is
no such thing as an Ingrowing nail
and I'll be grateful If you will re
peat that recipe. 1 "W, S.
Answer Powder the groove with
luam. The Idea Is that the pall
"grows in" probable rests on the
observation that the granulation
tissue or "proud flesh" heaps up
over the edge of the nail, besides
powdering tho groove with alum,
cleanse and dry the skin and apply
spirally strips of adhesive plaster
in such manner as to draw the skin
away from the edge of the nail.

SENATOR WILMS DKAU
(Continued from Page One)
the distinguished senator. Polit
ical opponents were unanimous in
their priilse of the senator's char
acter, ability and Hinceiity. AH
declared the deepest regard for
Senator Willis in every respect.
The sudden anrt dramatic death
of United States Senator Frank H.
Willis of Ohio last evening at a
home coming reception in his
honor at Delaware, Ohio, brought
especial regret and sadness today
to three Med ford residents, former
Ohioans who were clo.se personal
acquaintances of Senator Willis,
and recalls his visit to Med ford
and speech from the bandstand in
the city park 13 years ago.
Senator Willis wu.s so well
pleased with that visit ami the
cordial reception accorded bis
speech by a large crowd in the
par k , t ha t yea rs later In talking
with the writer of this item he re
ferred to It as one of the most
pleasant features of his life.
His appearance here was in late
September, 1 015. when ho was
governor of Ohio, nnd with Mrs.

had to be dispensed with, as the
world famed ryrt was closed for
, the season aiW stormy weather
was prevailing up there.
I Governor und Mrs. Willis spent
that day and night as the guests uf
Mr. and -Mrs. Andrews. miL the
governor's staff during this f!nf
O.s quartered ut the Hotel Med
ford. The next morning the di
tinguished party left by train iur
San Francisco.
His uddress in the city park that
! night was in the main non-puiiti.
cal, was very patriotic, und was
exceptionally well received by the
uudience. The World war was
then progressing fiercely. un
while the United States had not
yet been drawn into It, gem-ml
opinion prevailing then wus that
this country was drifting fast
into it.
Governor Willis briefly reviewed
the war situation, especially the
feature that the United States
might be forced to line up with
the allies against Germany, then
1 spoke of tho President Wilson
slogan "he kept us out of war,"
and made an eloquent appeal urg
ing preparedness for the i-ftming
participation. His big stature and
physique, exceptionally loud and
pleasing voice formed a striking
personality for a public man, ami
his eloquence und patriotism de
', lighted and thrilled the crowd.
I Later during the second Wilson
1 campaign when former Governor
I Myron T. Herrick, who later was
; reappointed American ambassador
to France, was seeking the
! republican candidacy tor united
States senator from Ohio, nnd the
writer not yet a permanent resi
dent of Mcdford, returned to Ohio
: to enter tho personal service ot
Mr. Herrick In the way of scouting
all thru that state In the interest
! of M r. Herrick's candidacy for
! United States senator. The writer,
j in the course of his travels hap
pened to be in Ccschocton, O., one
day when Governor Willis who
was making u enmpaign tour th'-n
of the stale In his own behalf ad
dressed an outdoor muss meeting.
After being lntroiluc-rd and i
making his opening remarks Mr.
Willis huppciu-u to cutcn mgnt ot
tho writer standing on the out
skirls of the crowd, und quickly
shouted:
"Out there I see Mr. So and So,
Myron Herrick.'s man from Med
ford, Ore. Pretty good fellow, too,
and I want to tell you th.it Oregon
is a beautiful state and thnt Med
ford is one of its beauty spots.
I've been there, nnd 1 know."
Thut night, after the meeting,
the modest reporter, who almost
died with fright and ahashness
when Mr. Willis had sK.t-ci I.:.n
out so conspicuously, at the hotel
took umbrage, men to Willis'
keen enjoyment, to being made so
conspicuous ut a political meeting,
ami the governor promised to
never repeat the offense.
He then asked all manner of
questions about M e d f o r d and
vicinity and Oregon in general,
many of which the writer was un
able to answer, as he himself had
been In Med ford so short a time.
Mr. Willis at that time related the
splendid impression he had gained
of Mcdford and Its people, during
his brief visit thru Oregon.
But several weeks later Gover
nor Willis In making an nd dress
from the balcony in the hoi el at
Plcqua. O.. repeated ihe offense
when he again caught sight of the
shrinking reporter on the edge of
the crowd. He shouted:
"There is my friend from Mcd
ford, (ire.. Hello Mr. So nnd So
Myron T. Herrick's scout and I
want to tell you that .Mcdford is a
mighty fine city and "
The rest of his personal remarks
were not heard as Mr. So and So
bad rapidly faded out Into the
street.
Yes. big hearted, good natured
Senator Frank It. Willis is gone to
the beyond. Jle liked Mcdford
and fondly declared so publicly.
