Modernto porthwort winds on tho coast, A COURT-HOUSE TWO subscribers liave tiiken the trouble-to inform us that a report is being pirpilliitqd that the.MaiJ-Tribune is favoring the Washington School site, because it owns property in that section of the city. If we followed our own inclination, we wouldn't dignify such reports with a denial. ; For anyone concerned could quickly check up the records, mid discover that neither this paper, nor anyone interested in it, owns property nearer the Washington Sehool than the Mail-Tribune building itself, which is about equi-distant between the two court bouse sites proposed. However, when feeling runs high aid prejudices arc strong, such reports are often accepted without investigation, and if not corrected may injure a cause, by creating the impression that there is a "nigger in the woodpile" that its main support is based solely upon avarice or self-interest. ' SO wo herewith categorically deny this report, as not only utterly unfounded ami untrue, but might lyld, that what real estate the present writer owns, is all situated on the cast side of Medford. f we were looking lit the selection of n court house site from tlie standpoint of self-interest or possible financial benefit, wc would certainly not favor the Washington School site, for what ever material benefit may follow such a selection would accrue to the West not the Knst sitle of the city. However, we do not agree with those who believe that the construction of n court, house automatically benefits the con tiguous property. . We don't know of a city where business has followed the court house; wc do know of many where business has moved away from it. XTO, whatever the advantages, or disadvantages, of the two ' court bouse sites, this paper's endorsement of the Wash ington School proceeds from no selfish motive; We are for it first and foremost, because wc are convinced it is the best available site, not only from the. standpoint, of Medford but. from the entire county; nnd Rtcond, because it was the unanimous selection of the County Court, which selection, by the terms of flic original agreement, Medford pledged j.Kt'lf to furnish. . . , , , .' CO with this statement,, our campaign. for the Washington School ends, unless there arc further last-minute reports, which wc feel it our duty to deny. i If anyone has any doubts regarding Medford 's right to fur niitli the site selected by the County Court, which action was endorsed by on overwhelming vote of the people we suggest they consult either the city attorney, or any attorney in whom they have confidence. , , . ; All the important tacts in this controversy have been pub lished in this paper. -AH of them are substantiated by the rec ords. We arc quite content to leave the final decision to n vote of tlio people. DR. NAN3EN TpIllC entire world will mourn the death of Dr. Nansen, of Nor- way, who certainly deserved the title of n citizen of the world, lie was a loyal and typical Norseman, hard, strong and ad venturous, but his interests Included every, country on the globe. To many lie will bo chiefly remembered as the man who got fiirtherest north in 189U; but bis permanent place in history will be determined more by bis humanitarian work than his explorations. Dr. Nansen was a great man; he bad not many, but ALIj the qualities of true greatness. Ife was great, in body and great in soul'; he dearly lovctl his native land, but that love never weak ened bis geiiuiuj interest and affection for the weak and suffer ing thrtiiighout the world. IT has been snitl that by his efforts following the World War, Nunsen saved a million lives in Hnssin alone. That figure may be an exaggeration,- but that he saved hundreds of thou sands of lives is certain. , . A devoted royalist, a grand knight of ihe-Koynl Victorian order, for two years Norwegian representative in London at the Court of St. James, he was naturally opposed to Russian Bolshevism, and all it involved. Yet when the. people of that country were friendless ami starving, it was Dr. Nansen who fed mid saved them. From Hussia he turned to the prisoners of war in all coun tries, to tho people in want in all Europe, and as n result was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for 1 921-1 !)22. lie was that .'are thing in this mundane sphere, n practical idealist. lie bitched his wagon to a star, but be never sat idly by to dream of getting there; he worked night ami day, to get just as near to his goal, as human frailties and limitations made pos sible. A great man, and his death a great loss to all humanitv. MUTT AND JEFF aV C.&.MTS ( NAMt. iTISI ilL;. I!

A METHOD OF RELAXATION DEVISED AUGU8TU S THOMAS In telling about It, in what pur ports to have been a letter actu ally written to his son about to go to France, and afterward published in the New York Sundny Sun, Aug. 19,- 1917, Augus tus Thomas, fain o u s playwright, used one and, one halt columns, but the actual in Htructions were as follows: ''Lying'' down helps greatly to remove this pressure, but the Japanese slow pilli on the head does It at once. A man can do It somewhat for him self by lifting his shoulders as he lies on his bik and 'hunch ing' them along as If trying to get them as far as possible from his belt. When I'm on my back for two minutes rest cure I tuke two or three such hunches at intorvals, trying to hold my gain each time by an anchorage of the shoulder blades against the carpet. Gen erally I can hear the vertebrae as they slip from their packed contact to an easier adjust ment. ..." Mr. Thomas developed his idea more. than ten years ago when the imagination of many laymen with primitive conceptions of anatomy anil physiology was intrigued, in tho proper meunlng of the word, by a curious fad or cult of healing that ascribed all complaints to some such subtle displacements of tho bones of the spine displace ments so very subtle that none but a barber or a grocery clerk who had spent a term or two at head quarters could detect them. It Is strange bow people without any technical knowledge of the subjects they're dealing with delight to map out their Own novel ways of health or conjure up bizarre theories of the nature and cure of disease. "... I cun hear the verte brae as they Blip from their packed contact to an easier ad justment, especially if . in my hunching I have lilted my head so that some pull is put on the spinal column. Sixty seconds of such rest Is worth an hour in a chair. Itichurd Harding Davis told me, or maybe it was Irvln Cobb. 'I heard tell of the German soldiers utilizing even n few minutes halt to throw themselves on the ground flat and extended." " -The playwright's elaborate ' ho kum in connection with this habit of relaxing for a few moments when the opportunity came was natural for ono in his trade; The practice at the soldiers dropping for a moment's rest whenever they had the chance was not at all. ex clusive among Germans. Just the same. Mr, Thomas had the right idea. Follow his sugges tion sometime In the midst of your busiest hour and you will admit, at least, that It does no harm. I as sure you that It can do n lot of good. I'll endeavor to explain pre cisely how ond why it does good In later talks on the physiology of rest. Here's a Ilttlo more of the Tholhas letter: "To relax Is somewhat of an art. It can't be fully done with out a deep breath first and then the 'lot go.' One can't relax from 'half tension' as It were. Often we think we are relaxed only to find after hours of waiting, when utter exhaustion slumps lis, that we have been In some respect holding nur solves away from the bed." Aaln't It the truth! "A rehearsal In the theatre Is a tllro thing for tightening ono up who is directing it and unconsciously lifting each char acter. After many years I've come to rocognlze the. condi . tion in time, and often in the dark auditorium, when the ac tors or scrub wumen can't see ' mo, I llo supine on the carpet In an aisle or the foyer and with arms outstretched for n minute relax nil over, it Isn't so Bltnplo as it sounds. Kvon after tho deep breath one has to think down to tho very fin ger ti)s and toes, and by men tul command dismiss I ho ac cumulated tension. Then, Inst of all, the muscles of the face let them fall with half closed eyelids and the litis slipping away from tho tooth as they Twins 'How much fceioT AAV PriCk SSAt tC AtACkTXl:iVlT ' iv - vl t v s" sit n 1 1 1 1 1 ii mn rw w i a .. i . vm i i u r y jipa i v ijaxwr ORECIONV TUESDAY. BY do on dead men. It's quit as tonishing what a refreshing in dulgence even a half minute of such relaxing Is. As I've said, it is an art to do it, and very useful when you get it." A distinguished physician and physiologist will contribute (Invol untarily! to our knowledge of the art of relaxing, in subsequent talks on tho subject, through his book recently published by the Univer sity of Chicago Press. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Why Do Trained Nurses Wear Slippers.. I attend the New York State School of Agriculture and in hy giene class we were discussing ven tilation. We could ' not agree on the reason why trained nurses re move flowers from the sick room at night. (P. E.) Answer. It is like the reason the drummer wears red ssspend era utilitarian; the maid la hav ing her night off. Old time nurses had some vague notion that flowers used up the air at night, or some thing like that. Today if the nurse asks the maid to take the flowers out of the sick room for the night It is to make more room for the night or to save the flowers. The Gender of Hygiene ; Please glance at the circular let ter inclosed and tell me whai it means. I can't understand It. (Mrs. C. S. II.) Ans. The letter purports to come from a "trained nurse" are Is trying to learn something lor the benefit of a gang of eminent though anonymous physicians. The main thing the nurse wnnts to know is what the recipient of the letter understands "feminine hy giene" means. To a normal mind ia a healthy body it doesn't mean a thing. Hygiene is not a matter of gender. Pitt From Acne Permit mo to thank you for re ferring Miss , who is the after math of acne, vulgaris, pits and scars. The best accepted treat ment consists of . . . sealed In the pits . . . reaction causes fibrous formation and in time a noticeable Improvement. This is slow but nevertheless a safe, process. Des quamation by the use of water coal ed quartz tends to smooth the skin. (U. C. J.. M. D.) Ans. Dr. J. is a reputable plas tic surgeon. Protrusion Is It true that this appliance or remedy will cure hernia as claimed In the slip enclosed? (K. R. T.) Ans. The slip proclaims that rup ture is not a tear nor break to heal, but just a weakness in the muscle ol' the abdominal wall. So far it is true. Then comes the humbug part. Of course there is no cure for rup ture (bleach, hernia). In nn adult except surgery. This does not mean that a small or incomplete hernia never disappears spontaneously, nor that It is useless to try Blmpie exorcises while folding the weak place with the hand. It means that you can't reasonably expect any Instlng relief from complete or es tablished hernial protrusion unless you undergo operation. (Copyright, John F. Dllle-Co.)
