And as is usual under such circumstances this opposition will

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.

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.

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".
