' fi..',. .4.-- m v r- '.-'-' - RADICAL WETS better not plnee too much relliirtc oh the (Jc .iuinn nf Federal .Tudirn "William' Cliirk of New Jersey rul ing the ndoption of the 18th amendment invalid. It is about n ten-to-onc bet, that if the decision ever comes be fore the Supreme iCourt, it will be quickly and unanimously re versed. . - ? , . i For if the 18th amendment is invalid because it wus ratified by state legislatures instead of state conventions, then the amendment, abolishing slavery is also invalid, for it, too, was le galized by legislative action. Moreover, the Supreme Court on mteh questions; always has ruled on a liberal, rather than n strict, interpretation of the law, the will ofhe people being held paramount, and legal techni calities being disregarded. QO TIIK Wet partisan will asm, and keep their powder against the 18th amendment is stronger today than it has ever been, before, is undoubtedly true. That Dry fanaticism is mort generally frowned upon than ever before, is also true. But public sentiment against Prohibition is one, thing, secur ing any radical change in the fundamental law concerning it, is quite another. ' Nevertheless, as we see it, a radical change in the fundamen tal law, cither through the repeal of the 18th amendment, or modification of the Volstead act, is from an anti-l'rohibilion standpoint, tho only hope. ... ' So our advice to those who regard Prohibition as a crime, is not to waste their time or energies over this New Jersey decision, but to concentrate upon securing a national referendum on the question, and if this referendum is favorable which we believe it would be then proceed from there; to secure modification or repoal. i ... . N FACT, from u wet standpoint we rcgai'd this decision by I Judge Chirk as very poor Prohibition in its strongest instead of its 'weakest quarter, and renders another legal victory for the Drys as certain as any thing in this uncertain world can be. ! Far better to abandon M- efforts to throw out tho 18th amendment on some legal technicality, admit its validity, but attack it, aw Senator Morrow of New Jersey has attacked it, as UNDKHIKAMaK l-KfilSliATION, AVUICII HAS PONK MORH 11AH.M TO THIS COU.NTOY,: MORALLY AND KCONOMI OALLY, TILN GOOD.' ' . , ! For on that ground, nnd thoLgrdimd alone, con any eonstrnc ive progress ho 'made. ' If prohibition has1 done this country more good! than harm; then it is going to remain and should remniii' ft part of-the 'fundamental law; if it hasn't, then it is not going to so remain, rand should not so remain but ulti mately should be' abandoned. ' ' ; 1 TI'lEUB is the issue, hi this Prohibition 'husiness. ,The sooner this fact is fealized, nml political tactics on both sides of the controversy are made to conform to it, the better for the cause oflhie temperance, the better for eonstruetivc development ''I' this count rjvnnd the better.for the welfare of the people. AMEND OREGON'S DRY LAW ..... i . t-.-.'t, i T THE present moinent, wo in the Prohibition situation try at large. . 'jm believe most strongly should bp made to conform .with the fundamental law of this .country, and not he allowed to continue in violation of it. I v- As everyone knows, tho Volstead Act allows the use of wines nnd liquors whenever, in the opinion of a reputable physician, wines and liquors arc needed. Everyone also knows that here in Medford, lives of man and women have been saved by the vio lation of this stato law, and lives of men and women have been lost, by either n refusal to violate the law, or inability to secure siwh stimiilonts, at a critical moment. : SUCH A .SITUATION RIXLWU) AS AN Ol'TUAOE, a vio lation of overy prinviplo of ordinary humanity and common sense. It is not only morally but legally indefensible, for it not only fails to conform with the. Constitution of this country, but is not even consistent with other laws in this state regulating the practice of medicine. . . For under our stole laws a physician can administer the most deadly and habit-forming drug in the pharmacopoeia, without restraint, but the moment he tries to give a patient a drink of liquor, containing alcohol over,one-hiilf of one per cent, he be comes a felon and ait outlaw. It is incredible to us that a majority or the people of this stato can approve of such a statute. We don't believe they do. And further we believe that the time has ,eoine to take definite action, secure an amendment to the Oregon Pry Ijiws, which will place thorn in harmony with the Volstead Act and in har mony with every principle of what is right, decent and humane. i Experts say that women s feet are two sizes larger 1 linn tne were -0 years ago.i From trying to fill men's shoes?

Another lucky patient writes: "On your kind recommenda tion I called on Dr. (a city man who is a master of the method) In reference, to hnvlng diathermy treatment for arthritis ... 1 am 60 years old, nnd he took out my ton ' slls. which were four time the ' normal size and ulcerated, by the diathermy method without any pain, loss of time from work or interference with reg ular meals.

It Is gradually becoming known. even to laymen, that high blood pressure is not a condition suscep tible of treatment without partlcu lnr concern about Its cause. It is well recognized hy physicians that a ncKleetcd septic focus may pro duco high blood pressure.

Thfl habit . of ,. lotting, children! take . some part Un household chores is sound from. the point of: view of character building. But j both these, things . jiiay bo parried too'far. ' ' , ",! Schoolboys often work . after-'( noons and evenings delivering packages; others carry newspaper routes. Girls sometimes take care, of babies throughout long after noons and evenings. Country children are required to do such things as cut wood and carry water. Frequently little girls nre detailed to help mother with the regular housework as soon as they get home from school. . ' Whether such work is good tor the child depends in the first place upon his health - and physical fitness for the tasks undertaken: nnd secondly, upon the child's pwn feeling toward them. i tt is questionable whether ,nny school child ought to be permitted to undertake n strenuous job. Cer tainly he should not be allowed to do so unless the findings of a care ful medical examination ascertain jiis ability to carry his work with out physical Injury. . i Aside from the health factor, the heavy household chores and nursemaid duties so frequently re quired of older children are not wholesome unless the child him self doing them, derives from their performance a sense of ac complishment and increased seir esteem. Tarents often forget that the fic- tivltles of the typical school are certainly work for the average child. He has the right, to spend his afternoons ns, he pleases; and It is much the best if he pleases to spend them in vigorous outdoor Play. . 4 IFewcr Towns In Italy.
