JUDGE SAWYER SHOULD BE RETAINED
KLAMATH FALLS Ims joined Untune in proAestiiiK uaiiiKt
the rcmoviil of Judye Sawyer of Bend from the Stuti High
way C'OIIIDI IKsiuil.
' Such proli'sls uru u deserved tribute to .Jinljre Sawyer's
wmlli us n public-spirited citizen of the ntute, and an efficient
member of the highway coinmitision.
Jndfre Sawyer's term does not end until M!arch lilst, JD.'il.
On the basis of service, capabilities and chanicUT, he is entitled
to retain his position and his removal, unless adimtcd by some-thin-;
more than purely political considerations, will rightly he
resented by the people of Eastern and Southern Oregon.
JTDUK SAWYKR is a rare combination of the thorough gen
tleman, in the best interpretation of that term; and a cap
able executive, sincerely devoted to the inten'sts of the people.
In the construction of better roads, he has alwjiys been n loyal
friend of Southern Oregon, and yet one of the most conspicuous
traits of his character has been bis absolute fairness, refusal to
play favorites, his rigid adherence to the principle and the right
principle that the highway co ission is not a political or
ganization, nor a local development organization but. an or
ganization devoted to the highway interests of tha HNTIHK
STATIC.
Always courteous and considerate, Judge Sawyer has never
theless been a courageous fighter for every cause which he be
lieved to be right, and by sheer sincerity and dependability, has
retained not only the affection of his friends, but the respect
and good will of his opponents.
lie is too valuable a man on the highway commission to ho
removed at this time. We trust the report that he has been
slated for dismissal will prove to be unfounded.
PLACING PROHIBITION ABOVE FREE GOVERNMENT
THE line und cry iiainst Senators Jones and AValsk for favor
ing a Wet-Dry referendum only demonstrates, nngu more,
how destructive the Prohibition question has been to rational or
reasonable thinking-
"False to their faith" is the ery of the rabid Drys, because
these two senators, uncompromising Prohibitionists themselves,
favor giving the people of this country the rijrht to express
themselves, on this important question.
False to what faith? Certainly not to the faith that Huh is a
"government of the people, by
to the faith that the people have the same right to modify or
repeal a law that they have to make one.
t. ,
IF the people of this eountry want Prohibition as it is, without
Ilw Kliirhlfsi1 fhnmrii what nnsMibh harm mm result, bv allow
ing themselves to express this sentiment at the polls?
If they don't want it, us it is if they want it modified or
repealed U.Jon what basis of 'good government or good sense,
can they be denied the right of Hnyiug ho?
There is, in our opinion, only one explanation of this fanati
cal flare-up against these two senators. The Dry extremists
have become so lost to (ill considerations of fair play, and so
blind to the fundamental principles of this government, that
they believe the peoplo of thin country should be forced to ac
cept Prohibition, WIIBTIIKIt TUKY L1KK IT OR NOT. They
would place the fetish of "bone tlryism, not only above the Con
stitution but above the very heart and soul of free government.

Now let us deal with resistance
in like manner,
In the first place no one. Ho far
fts I can discover, can or will define
resistance us anything apart from
Immunity. So It follows that all
allusions t "high resistance" or
"lowered resistance," at least In
medical language, aro Just empty
lalk. The doctor who employs the
term "resistance" i relation to sus
ceptibility to Hickhess or disease
has no clear Idea what ho means

ho has heard or read but never
thought about. It is a nleo sound
ing phrase and It auves a good deal
of explaining sometimes.
You may still hear dear old doc
tors and bombasiic health officers
sounding off about this and that
factor "lowering resistance" and
hence being a thing to avoid. But,
tell me, have you ever heard an
educated physician speak of low
ering resistance to diphtheria,
smallpox, scarlet fever or typhoid?
No, and the reason Is that we know
something about immunity to the.it
diseases; we can even measure tho

degree of Immunity up individual
happens to have against any of
these diseases.
Hut when you get away from
these clearly defined specific dis
eases and think Just of some vague
Illness or type of Illness, then you
can bring In your Imposing talk
about good resistance or poor re
ulstance and you're safe enough for
nobody knows anything about that
anyway.
Sometimes, I um sure,1 really
honest doctors or health author
ities employ tho term "resistance"
In a slipshod way when they ob
viously mean Immunity. But If
that were the only criticism I
should never mention It here. In
the great majority of instances
where t.he term "resistance" Is
used In reference to the occur
rence of Illness or disease, tho
authority using It trying to Im
pose upon his readers or listeners
a theory that has never been es
tablished In Tact.
The fancy of "resistance" is al
most Invariably upplled negatively
und usually ns a sort of post mor
tem suggestion; that Is, tho poor
fellow was In no shape to Aland
the exposure as his resistance was
lowered by well, by sdmo previ
ous exposure, say. Now that, I
contend. Is destructive to health
and In no circumstances does it
promote health.
On the other hand the thought
of Immunity Is constructive and
tends to promote health.
Whon a doctor talk about Im
munity he Is generally trying lo
tell you how to get it. When he
talks about resistance he is offei
ing you nothing but discourage
ment or u hollow, hopeless, help
less regret.

Answer. I should advise such
a man, or woman, not to attempt
reduction, though ltmay be that
the diet needs readjustment. You
will find some good suggestions in
the letter about the correcfc've pro
tective diet for folks past their
prime. Send a stamped addressed
envelopo and ask for this diet.
Depilatory.
Please tell me a remedy for re
moving hair from the face tem
porarily or permanently. Miss O.
Answer. Electrolysis is the
only safe way to destroy hairs, and
that is not satisfactory except for
destroying a few hairs or a smail
tuft. Chemical depilatories ar;
unobjectionable If they do not leave
the skin too irritated. Some wom
en find tho daily use of fine pum-
ico stone most satisfactory for
keeping down heavy hair. Of
course the more you epllate or cut;
or shave or dissolve off the hairj
the heavier It tends to grow, as a!
rule, so It Is unwise for a girl to
start trying to remove the fine
down that covers every woman's
face.
Wool Grease for Corns. J
' I have found a simple remedy
for corns lanolin. Apply tho lan
olin to the corn for three or four
nights and you can then pick the
corn out. P. A. J.
Answer. Perhaps readers who
try It will be kind enough to re
port how It works. If It fails, then
one can still fail back on the old
reliable corn remedy, painting thu
corn each night with a solution
of 30 grains of salicylic acid in one
half ounce of flexible collodiot!.
The lanolin treatment reminds me
of the simple remedy for warts that
several readers have reported ef
fective applying custor oil to tho
wart each night.

treatment and about how long it
lasts. C. K.
Answer. That Is tho medical
term for an acute blood poisoning,
us it Is more commonly known to
the layman, and It usually devel
ops as a result of some slight In
Jury or wound, say a prick of the
finger or a blister on the foot.
Duration depends on treatment,
which is surgical, though not Im
mediate cutting.

"A n d," John
added, "I'm sure
there are any
number of people
who still believe there is only one
Moon."
"I don't tell them I'm the only
Moon," the Moon said, scowling
slightly. "Nor do tell them there
are others. If they find It out all
right, but if not all right. I'm not
able to speak as a rule. I'll tell you
some things about myself If you'd
like to hear them. "
How the Moon 'did enjoy talk
ing! "1 turn on my axis In the same
time as It takes me to go round the
earth. 1 show tho same side of my
face all tho time, too and they
haven't been able to tell anything
about my other side. I've kept that
much hidden from them!'' The
Moon shouted this with a good deal
of gusto. "While your earth Is go
ing round the sun once 1 go round
your earth 13 times.
"While I spin upon myself (It's
a lovely trick lo doi ns 1 movc
round the earth 1 mako ono com-'
plelo turn upon myself In tho same
tinio as it takes mo to go round tile
earth. So my 24 hour tray and night
is equal to a month.
"Hut you see 1 was taught such
excellent mannors. 1 was told
never to turn my hack on any one
and so 1 always bIiow my face to
the earth. I shine only by reflected
sunlight, hut my manners are my
own. 1 let myself be eclipsed when
ever I pass Into the shadow of Mm
earth and though I am moving verv
slowly away from the earth 1 don't
get any further off than seven feet
In 100 years."
