One cold January day when u

TIME TO STOP

it
IfERE is notliini; either
hundred yearn ai?o, iH as sound psychology now iik it was then.
That times are bad, everyone admits. Hut that continually
thinking them bad, only makes them worse, is equally true.
Pessimism breeds pessimism, as optimism breeds optimism, and
that tho business revival everyone desires could be hastened
merely by a change in the popular attitude of mind, is certain.
T WAS President Wilson who termed the depression in liis
first administration as "largely phyeholofjieal." The oppo
sition emitted a large and raucous borsc-laiiKh at what they
termed the Democratic alibi, yet President Wilson was essen
tially right in this statement, as he was in many ollicrs. "
For the truth is every serious

justment, but by the mental
panic that seizes the rank mid
THERE is u pul'l; of smoke and u J'lick of l'laiuc in a crowded

Hut the real danger lies not in that fire but in the mental reac
tion it causes. If everyone remains cool, if the crisis produces
some real lender, who takes command of the situation, convinces
the people that while there is a fire there is no real danger if
they keep their heads, in id walk out tpiickly but in an orderly
fashion the crisis is soon over and a tragedy is averted. .
,
IT IS precisely tlo same in the theatre of the business world.
There is a fire, but every welt Informed person agrees it is
comparatively a small one. There is nothing fundamentally
wrong with this country. The fire is actually, merely the result
of too much speed, it friction-fire tpiickly extinguished by-slow-ing'down
tho car, throwing a bucket of water on the brake lin
ing, and agreeing to observe the speed limit for a while.
In other words, the crisis rests
our profit but losing our heads, not upon the driver of the cur
who knows what the trouble is and how to correct it, but upon
the lookers on' .who, seeing tho flame, promptly yell fire, declare
everything is going to tho demnition bow-wows, and proceed
to make a run for it.
eJiTPirKRE is nothing cither good or bad, but thinking makes
it so." There is u slump in buisness, a slowing down in
the biggest business boom in tho country's history, which could
never havo been avoided ; but there is no panic and will be none,
unless the alarmists and knockers and pessimistic bowlers in
sist upon it. .
A recent editorial in the San
tho point that wo aro reprinting
not only this community but every community in the country
would be tremendously benefited if every calamity howler would
clip this out, psto it in liis hat, and when lie feels impelled to
let out another shriek, first read it over, and try to profit by the
lesson it teachers! '.. . s .. .. ' '!
"It begins to look as if the
mism has passed. Here and there business men havo more cheer
ful faces, aro beginning to make plans again for extension and
and activity. There's n feeling in the air and, more than that,
statistics arc looking more and more friendly these days."'
On tho cover of "The Uusiness Week" for July 2, !!):), this
paragraph appeared and you can
, "The business title reached Its ebb during the post two weeks
and Is beginning to turn, very, slowly and tentatively, in face nt
it strong surroiit of poevlsh, superficial and premature pessimism.
There will be no nuticonble change in the next few weeks. Con
tinued' liquidation In certain lines will overlap mid obscure In
InoronsinK resistance, stabilization and upturn In others. Progress
will be slow, Irregular, spasmodic, with sporadic relnpses, suc
cessively loss froqiiont and sharp, till the end of July. Then, In
the same weeks when n year ago the downturn began, a decisive
recovery will tret in general and tlefinlla enough to bo evident
even, to the blue-funk brigades ol' bnsinessa who havo been en
joying their May parties anil Juno walks in the cemetery. , . The
rise of the btisines curve thereafter will be rapid, and will,' as
usual, steal a march on tho slow-witted and self-uentaretl Btuck
market. . Hy October It will ho back to normal. . . . This forecast
Is not based solely on tho sharp circumstantial rlso In our tnflnx
from tho low point of S8.8 per eent of normal last woek to :i.O
per cent this week. Oilier statistical straws suggost strongly that

direction of rocovory."
That may sound like business jargon, but it also sounds like
solid common sense about, business in these United states.

INDUSTRY NEEDS
Might Try Some of the
either local or foreign, but to the wrong sort of publicity circu
lated many years ago.
This publicity was an offshoot of the boom days when
every acre of orchard wus touted as a gold mine, and every vein
of gold was played up as' an El Dorado. ,When these rainbow
visions failed to materiaize, when these strikes advertised as
second Klondike)) proved, to be' little but hot air, the impression
tpiickly gained ground, particularly ill tho East, where money
for mining develoment was alone available, that there w;s noth
ing to the mineral assets of .Southern Oregon BUT hot uir.
That impression, ratlier'tlian any scarcity of mineral values,
has been responsible for the unsatisfactory mining condition in
this part of tho state.
The remedy, as speakers at the meeting pointed out, is ob
vious. To put a stop to "hot air" mining entirely, to conduct
a scientific mineral survey of the region, to give the world the
truth about it, to destroy the bad reputation this country en
joys with the Eastern mining world, by putting an abolute stop
to the sort of fake propaganda that created it.
If the Grants Pass meeting accomplished nothing more than
to establish the need of the light sort of publicity for mining in
Southern Oregon, it amply justified its existence. !

ROUTINE FOR CURE
Every time I use this tjrm pep
tic ulcer I am conscious of Us un
suitability, but there Is no' more
Inmilmr word for
It., it means ul
cer of the stom
ach (gastric) or
nicer of tho duo
denum (duodenal)
and In nine out
of ten cases the
ulcer Is In the
duodenum, which
which Is the four
or five Inches of
the alimentary canal Just below the
outlet of the stomach. The best
motlicnl view 1b that peptic ulcer
Is caused by focal Infection, and
one of the Important predisposing
factors Is a shortuge of vitamins
lit tho diet, particularly vitamins
A, B and C. Other predisposing
factors are excessive use of tobac
eo, Insufficient mnstication of food
or loss of teeth nnd consequent in
ability, to masticate food, the habit
of using strong spices, condiments
and sauces, overindulgence in con
centrated artlflcal sweets, and the
habit of taking alkalis such as soda.
A young man roturned to his
duty as a teller In a bank after
what seemed to customers who had
missed his pleasant face at the
window a very short absenco. He
hud boon away taking the cure for
tuborotilosls. His trouble was quick

himself could erect a suitable
screen of cheesecloth to stop the
norm-laden spray that shoots con
stantly from one mouth to the oth

At the next window a young wom
nn bookkeeper evidently had a Se
vern cold In the head. Tes, and
she knew just how she got It, too.
She had taken a warm bath and
then . , . this young woman' prob

Intelligence und the lack of It.
So far 1 have not hoen called se
verely to tusk by tho over ready
operators of our profession for my
romarks about tho comparative
value of surgical und mcdltul treat
ment for peptic ulcor. 1 expect
somo of tho hoity-toity boys who

It Is my gcnorul Idea merely that

of very faithful- nnd careful adhere

if the patient thinks he knows
about as much as the ordinary doc

doctor's orders, and ' that's the
whole secret.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Well, What Have You That's Good?
I think it would Interest most of
you readers to know just what doc
tors eat. We gather you do not
care for breakfast foods, that you
abhor grapefruit, and that you are
not very fond of apples, but you
seem to like good coffee, and ap
parently you ruin It by putting
sugar in it. (S. I. 0.)
Answer. Fried mush, it basketful
with no holding back on the butter.
A pot of coffee that 1ms not boiled,
lots of sugar and cream for the cof
fee. Never mind the rest, but our
readers should eat as I say, not as
I do. If I can't have sugar In my
coffee I'll get along without the
coffee. So-called breakfast foods,
propared cereal dishes, are all right
if one likes them, though of course
such food is sttperflotis if one eats
bread, rolls or toast. Grapefruit
and apples are fine for breakfast
or other meals, If one likes them.
Perhaps the Ideal breakfast is
something like this:
Fresh fret in season, or cooked
fruits.
Any cereal or bread or toast,
with cream or button
Pint of certified or ordinary fresh
raw milk. '
Two eggs, cooked to Btilt your
taste.

flex the knees and hips- so thighs

of six! then' straighten Tgs up to
vortical ngaln nt nine; then' slowly
and steadily lower them to floor at
count of 11!. Itepent this only three
times the first day. Always breathe
through open mouth while doing
exercises. After a week you should
do tho movement six times. After
a month 12 times. 1)0 It 12 times
each night and morning indefinite
ly. In general brealhe In up to the
count or six and out up to tho
count of 12, but If you prefer, re
vorso the order or breathing.
A Good Word for Cranberries
Don't you daro niako fun of cran

LOTS OP RAIN
By Mary Graham Bonner
It was raining and the Little (
Black Clock was laughing when he r
started out with John and PegRy.
"It ralnea yes
terday, too, you
know, and yes
terday was St.
Swlthln's day," ho
said.
"Mother said
that meant we'd
havo 40 days of
rain," said Peg
gy. "Well, It's '
raining today
anyway."
"Do you be
lieve that?" John
asked.
"No," said the Little Black
Clock, "but perhaps It is because
I have been around for ho long a
time and I've often seen it rain on
St. Swithin's day and have many
days afterward when it didn't rain
at all.
"St. Swlthin lived In the ninth
century and he was supposed to
be quite remarkable in tho thinK"
that he could do. AU sorts of
wonderful stories were told about
him and somehow people have
handed down the one about the
rain.
"In many places people will say
that if it rains on St. Swithin's duy
July 15th it will continue with
some rain anywuy on every day
for 40 days. You see, one time
there hud been a very, very hot
period of weather. , Then, on a
July 15th It rained, and the heat
wave was broken and cooler
weather followed.
"Everyone noticed s . that tho
chango had happened on St.
Swithin's day.
"The story of how this was ac
complished Is told in many differ
ent ways, but everyone agrees In
saying that it looks as though
thcre'd be lots of rain when It has
rained on the 15th of July."
"It's clearing off now!" ex
claimed Peppy.
"Well, that docsnt lncnn any--thing
to thoso who bcliove in St.
Swithin's duy. The fact Is, they
will toll you, that on each duy
of the following 40 days there will
bo somo rain dining some part
of each day and night."
"I'll sue if it rains tomorrow,"
Peggy remarked. And tho funny
thing wus that It did and It
showered n little on each of tho
next few days but after that Peg
gy forgot to keep count!
Tomorrow "Murvelous Tin
Boxes."
