MEDFORD AGAIN REVEALS ITS GREATEST1 ASSET w JI.AT co-operative organization, intelligently conducted,! ciiii do for the fruit growers of the valley, in ;;ni(liieully demonstrated In- tlie recent annual report ot the local traffic O . . association. Here is an organization, started in a small, informal way, which has crown to lie not only one of the most successful and representative croups in the liusincss; 'lint from the standpoint of Miliars and cents, a sensational money maker. THIS ,'inn:il report shows that in the matter of securing freight reductions, local growers have saved the huge sum of approximately a piar'T of a million dollars. Export rates have been reduced from VI' to Wi cents per hundredweight ; the rate to Portland has been reduced from Wi to 3D cents; the rate to South American parts from $1.872 to .$u;o. As a penny saved i a penny earned, here arc hundreds of thousands of dollars, placed in the pockets of local growers, by the efforts 'ol this comparatively small, but highly efficient, association. ni,T the association has not confined itself to rate reductions alone. Jt has been an effective force in seeuriii? needed re forms and improvements in methods of distribution and inurkct iiij,'. It helped to put 'through the Medl'ord trade name on the fruit box, making the name "'.Medford" known to tho trade and syiiononyinous with high quality fruit, it supported the matter, of pear recipes on the fruit wrappers, it was influential in se curing the publication of the Jackson County fruit booklet, and if its effort to secure a parity with California on the weight of boxes is successful, it will put in the growers' pockets another $35,000 a year. ; ' '' K T present it is actively engaged'iu a solution of the chemical spray patent problem. For this splendid work the officers have not asked or received a cent of remuneration. They have given freely of their time, and efforts, with only one aim in view, the betterment of the industry as a whole. IT is certainly a fine and inspiring example of what co-opera- live. organization, applied to a system of competitive selling, can accomplish. Not only the members of the organization and the fruit industry as a whole, but every business man in the valley, owes a debt of gratitude to the officers of the traffic association, who have added so materially to the prosperity of the fruit industry, and as an inevitable result to the prosperity of the community in which they live. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D. ALL TOGETHER CLEAN UP! TTtTK are u-lml to put in a word for 1 li o eloiin-up em upturn to ' to (jhitK'iI on in the valley this week.

TUB MEIMOAfj OLIGARCHY AND THIS JUCOSTOKICKNKSS Seldom do I agreo or disagree! with ho distinguished a colleague in publicity as Dr. Wm.-Mayo,. but circumstances constrain mo to pro-j claim that he said something whenj he told the Amer ican ConreHs of Hurpeons that tho hospitals in this country are too much given to J putting on th.'j Ititz. These were j not Dr. Mayo'n i words, but I lve the gist of his re-' marks. One other observation tho distinguished pub licist sot off his figuratively hairy chest at the same time or at least recently I de.dro to applaud again. He told the big operators that a hospital training course of two years is sufficient to make good nurses. Last time I stirred up this im portant question of the hlcostosick ness in the U. S. A. I mud a slight error which I now wish to correct. I said I thought so well of the two year nurses that I had married one and t'd marry several or more of her If it were permissible under the rules. My first wife has been threatening to write to the papers about It, and claims she can prove she was a three-year nurse. For tunately I hit on a solution of tho difficulty I have assured the lady that she wax just as good as any two-year nurse I ever watched work. Aly present wife approves of this she says I ought to bo kind to" the girl who married mo when I was tho greenest young doctor with perhaps the poorest prospects In seven counties. Tho highbrow hospitals, whero they have all the fancy dewdagK and luxuries, haven't any answer to the charge that they rob the student nur.se of a full year of trained service when they keep her tho third year in training and pay her loss than the salary or wage of x self-respecting chambermaid for It. Their only argument in re buttal is that tho public demands highly .educated nurses, now, and they Imply without saying so. that lowbrow doctors like Dr. Mayo and myself fall to appreciate tho subtlo different o between the nurse who ha.s had two years of training nnd the nurse who has had three years of It. Speaking only for myself. I don't believe there is any actual difference; maybe the victim of the three-year trick wears a sadder sickroom expression, for she must think often of the good year of expert nursing - service she h.rg given tho hospital for nothing Probably a nurse's productive life Is 20 years. One year Is five pen cent of her career. If she Is lucky; It is a shame to steal It from he, just to make it possible for the highfaluthV hospital to cater o the bootlegger and racketeer de mand. A spokesman for the American College of 'Surgeons assertH that many patient insist on the. best room In the hospital, even insist on a private bath room which they cannot use, and that hospital .at tendants spend much time in try ing to convince these choosy crit ical patrons that a special nurse is not necessary, that tho regular nursing staff can give the paflent every necessary attention, but the newly rich brusquely demand all the trimmings and whr.t can the poor hospital managers do? Thus the Class A hospital, approved and virtually dominated by the Amer ican College of Wurgoons, becomes a sort of playing field where people- with plenty of jack not only keep up with the .lonses but mak'j the .louses take their dust. All this, of course, maken the going bad for tlie piker middle class. The middle class has one way of opposing the growth of this evil Hospitals have either "closed staff or "open staff": an open staff ho- pitjil is available to every repu. able physician. People should support the open hospitals and leave 1 lie "closed staff" institu tion to tho snobs. Ql'KNTIOXS AM) AXNWKKK A Seedy Subject. Pome friends of mine regularly pay Hf cents for perhaps five ounces of seeds, put up in a fancy package. I tell them flax seeds at a shilling or so per pound are quite as satisfactory for the purpose of breaking the physic habit, but they can't believe H. Please say something about this in yuur column. N. AV. K. Answer. Ho-hum! I've said it so many time that the humble flaxseeds are quite as effective and desirable for the purpose as any poor imitation ot flaxseeds im ported from a romantic place. But people like to have the pretty la bels 'n' everything. Ultraviolet Jtnys. "Wo all know the value ot sun shine, but are so-called sun lamns beneficial in cases of as the company claims? C. J. F. Answer. There are lamps on the market that deliver a- fair amount of the desirable ultraviolet rays, though none that deliver the proportion of 'these rays that you get in sunlight itself. I should not advise tho purchase or use. of an ultraviolet apparatus except under the direction of the physjclan, ani your doctor will recommend the most economical and efficient lamp If it Is desirable to have one in your home. Tapeworm. Would It be possible for you to send me information about the Pai leterln treatment for tapeworm, what it consists of, etc. A. GJ. 'Answer. A medicine called pelletlerine, obtained from pome granate bark, has been used as a vermifuge but is much too poison ous and dangerous for a hfyman to use. In fact, I advise you never to attempt to treat yourself or an other for any such intestinal para sitic Infestation. It is dangerous business and the personal super vision of a physician is essential not only for safety but for success. I urge mothers and grandmothers particularly to spare their own or other children any and all alleged worm medicines, unless these arc employed under strict medical in structions. (Copyright John F.

Near Chicago, Chief Mitchell, of the La Grange police, sitting with two other po licemen in a lonely spot, was won dering why a machine ahead stop ped hy the road and put 'out its lights. Investigating, he saw a man, his hands and feet tied, sitting against a tree, begging: "Olvo me a break." The reply was: "I'll break your head," and one of the gang struck the victim over tlie head with a pis tol butt. There was a rope around the man's neck, thrown over the limb of a tree. It was to be a hanging. M Three policemen, with three flashlights, yelled: "Put your hands up!," ami, having the drop, they were obeyed. .
