Henderson In merely an In- t flatuble bag In which air oc oxy gen and carbon dioxide giiH may ho mixed in tho right proportions for the victim to Inhale, while Kha fer's method of artificial respira tion Ih being used. A mixture of 7 or 8 per cent, of carbon dioxide In air or oxygen Ih a much more powerful Htlmulnnt to tho victim's breathing than Is pure oxygen or nlr nlone. Carbon dioxide in the air wo breathe Ih the natural stim ulant of respiration. It in particu larly RHHentlal in the institution of breathing In the newborn. It 1m probably the exphmntinn for the beneficial results of mouth to mouth Insufflation in establishing respiration in the newborn. Tho expired all contains 4 to 5 per cent, of carbon dioxide. Such inhalutorH should be kept available wherever It la likely that there may be victims of drowning, gassing, smoko asphyxiation or poisoning to resuscitate. Homo communities still have those anti quated and dangerous lung motors or breathing machines, which in tho nauio of humanity should be Junked ami replaced by InhalutorH. Tho breathing of nn atmosphere of oxygen with 7 per cent, carbon dioxide helps tho victim of monox ide, asphyxiation to blow off or eliminate from the lungs the poi son. io It Is excellent treatment, even where breathing lias not actually ceased. Anyhow, it Is ii disgrace to the professional standard of the local medical faculty when these canes are turned over to the well mean ing but crttdo efforts of flromen. A hospital that has to rail in fire men to render first aid Is a poor excuse. QI KSTIONS AM) AXNWKltS Cotim for llrcnkrnst Is drinking cocoa for breakfast every morning good for one?

Canker Sores Conquered My mother suffered for many years with constant canker sores in her mouth . . . la?t summer she happened to begin drinking large quantities of lemonade daily, and suddenly found she had not a canker sore In her mouth. Hhe has kept this up, drinking tho lem onade hot In colder weather, and she np longer Buffers from canker .sores. Incidentally she says she has less "stomach trouble" than for years past. (F. L. B.) Answer. At any rate, the treat ment cun do no harm. Perhaps some other readers afflicted with the pesky little cankers will test It and report results. My best bet for canker sores is (a) discarding toothbrush and dentrifices; (b) avoiding excessively hot or cold foods or drinks: (c) cleaning up of any septic foci in teeth or ton sils: (d) daily touching of sores with lodln and glycerin, half and half; nnd (e) boric acid solution mouth wash. Talks T0 wmoiti; FicAiis ;nmv lly .Mice Judson Penlc. Occasionally .one finds .a child who Ih made unuappy by all sorts of ground less fears, fear of new places, new people, fear of swift moving vehicles, cf ull sorts of spoclfic situations for which even the mother who has watched him from birth ennnot account. Whatever the original situations w h l('h connected feel ings of fear with any particular place or thing or person, they probably have been long forgotten even by tho child himself, while hi fear remains with hlin In undiminished strength. 'Probably at least one element In keeping such irrational fears alive is found in the general atmosphere of the home. Where parents nre themselves re vous. worried about finances, irritable In their relation to each other, the child dally takes in rt ruitltude of impressions which give him a profound feeling of ln uoeurity. A general npprehensivencss de velops in which the many small fears which mifiht otherwise have worn off in time become revivified In his mind, carrying the burden of other more ominous fears concern ing which ho is not articulate. Tho extent to which a child re acts to his parents' underlying four Is determined by tempera ment. Some chili! ron seem fairly immune to the attitudes of people around them, others are so sensi tive that their characters are pro foundly Influenced by happenings which the adult hardly notices. Kor the sensitive child, the de velopment of a sane rational atti tude toward common risks and or dinary changes depends more than anything upon the behavior of hi parents. It t hardly possible to cure him of his fears until the emotional at mosphere of his home Is cleared of Its distressing undercurrents. 4 Detachable lace sleeves for din ner gowns hhve appeared in Ku rope. 4 Hood Hlver - Air beacon recent ly installed on high point of gorge, near city dump. 4 Hood River Helen Frost open ed beauty shop in First National Hunk building.

Communications From Mayor-elect Wilson. To the ICditor: I thank you very much for your personal editorial in .Sunday's Mail Tribune. My appreciation i also extended to you and to your paper for the fairness in which the late city campaign was presented. In entering upon the duties uf the office to which I have been chosen, I hold no prejudice. The service to be rendered is to all clti zona alike, without partiality and regardless of their attitude in cam paign matters. Past city admin istrations, and the service render ed by the individuals thereof, have been as honest, faithful and just as has been the service of the mem bers df the election boards, so se verely criticized from some quar ters, and vindicated by the re count. This vindication whouW also arry with It the vindication of all others deserving of praise instead of abuse, and to whom we miift give credit for bringing Medford from n state of financial chaos and keeping tho city in a sound and progressive condition. ; Ood give us men, sound In think ing and fearless in action. This, I am sure, will be the character developed In the members of the new council selected to direct our uf1 fairs. We need also a cooperating citi zenship that will educate them selves In city affairs and thus be able to criticize properly and justly. Again assurim; you of my appre ciation. I am. very truly yours, 10. M. WILSON". .Mayor-elect. Medford. December 15. Fruit and vegetable canneries In Italy are now operating on full time.
