This advertisement is on j age 42 of that excellent periodical. "Time," dated January 1!', heiuled in large type, "Kresh Fruit while snow is on the ground." Underneath this caption is a halftone of a bunch of bananas and a box of fresh strawberries the first paragraph of the ad-; vertisement reading as follows: "Today we accept as commonplace the miracle of fresh fruit In the dead of winter. Yet not so many years ao who could have dared to say It was poHslble?, Who could have foreseen Oregon enjoying the fruits of U)uisi:tna and Maine, the bounty of Cali fornia?" Who indeed!" The sight of Louisiana bananas and strawber ries in Oregon stores would he in-the nature of a horticultural miracle, as would the sight of California bananas in fruit stores of Ilangor, Maine. ilut why pi dc fin poor old Oregon, and place it in the same climatic category as dear old Maine! We don't know what ad vertising agency created this full page spread, but cerlainly there must have been several brain storms in the drafting room, during the process of composition.

At the present moment the writer knows from actual observation there is more snow from Ounsmuir to Shasta City, California, -than in the entire state of Oregon.

In our humble opinion he WILL lu be not without strong ami bitter opposition, but in espousinir the Dry cause he will be assured the support of a militant mi nority, ami that is all any President with Ihc power of his office at, his command needs, to secure a renoiiiination.

In the sec ond place, the business depression, which lias made so many peo ple anli-lloovcr, may have vanished by. 1!W- as suddenly ami mysteriously as the boom of viinislietl. Not likely, but in economies, as in politics, anything may happen. And if reasonably trout! tiiies should have returned a yen'' or two hence, not only the renoiiiination, but the re-election, of Jlr.

HOW MICH OT VOi n A 12-year-old boy bopped on his hieyele and followed the fire en gine up the sirect. The fire chief! car ciime along after the engine and in attempting to dodg the boy nn the biket knocked him off the wheel. The boy's head struck the pave nrmt with tremendous impact, and biA skull cap w a n split off c o m pletely, Wo hur ried him to the hospital and re placed poAtion.4 of tin- cerebrum and stitched up the meningeal -membrane and cov ered the brain with the skull cap. The boy talked with us (mite ra tionally white we worn at work. He felt no' pain from the sthehing and neces.siiry manipulation of the damaged brain tissues and skull. The brain itself has no' e-ensaiion lo pain. 'Neither has any other Intermit organ. The pain of ap pendicitis, for Instance, l.i not in the appendix at all. It is in the branches of spinal nerves in the belly, the abdominal wall. Once through the skin and hody wall, you can cut and sew without giv ing the patient any pain, provided you avoid rough handling, tension or stretching of the tissues or bruising or injury. These latter stimuli cause no pain, but they nre likely to product serious t41unk. The absence of pain sense in in ternal organs explains how sur geons can accomplish so much un der local anesthesia they have only to benumb the sensitive nerves of skin and body wall, and to use all gentleness and care in the manipulation of the internal structures on which they are work ing. Aside from the fact that the boy felt no pain from the surgical ttvniment (and be had no anes thettct. It, was remarkable that he ret.

Address Dr. William Itraily in care of HKAIX DO YOU VSK? i cerebral hemisphere may be re moved without disturbance of mentality; thU has been done re peatedly for the removal of large brain tumor. Moth right and left frontal lobes of the brain may be removed with out disturbing the patient's men tality. The patient remains per fectly oriented a to time, place and person; the memory is unim paired; reading, writing and math ematical calculation are still done accurately; conversation is normal. In other cases the left occipital I lobe and the lower third of the I left temporal lobe have been re moved without apparent effect on mentality. The intellect, therefore, is seat ed somewhere In the remaining portion of the left cerebral hemis phere and is probably closely as sociated with fchc speech mechan ism center. l.igallon (tying off) tho anterior cerebral nrtury on the left side destroys consciousness; ligation of the same artery on the right side has no such effect. The Impunity with which large portions of the cerebrum may be destroyed or removed will suggest different ideas to different people. To my mind it nugqests the physi ological truth I have often tried to tell here, namely, that there is no such thing as nerve enengy, brain "power" or "exhaustion" of either. The functioning of brain or nerves involves no more expendi ture of energy. Indeed rather loss, according to scientific metabolism tests, than does the functioning of tho skin or the stomach. QCKSTIOXS AM ANSWKHS Calcium Sulphide. Would it be advisable to give my little buy. two yearn old, calcium sulphide as a preventive against infantile paralysis?

In tho majority of cuses of acute poliomyelitis the 111 nesa or indisposition at firrit pur ports to be a "cold." To the best of our knowlpjfo the virus of in fantile paralyss is spread in the same wy as Is diphtheria or sear- let fever or measles or tonailitls or simple coryza, in the mouth spray Kiven off when the individ ual coughs, sneezt;, lauKhs or talks. Tho only difference between the spruy from the uncovered c'oukIi or sneeze and that from un covpppd talking op ahoutintr is that tho cough pray hun n greater range 10 to 12 foot, ns compared with the 3 or 4 fogt range of or dinary polite conversational spray. Thu e;nicnj evidence seems lo show thnt infantile paralysis is communicable in tfte early stage when the victim first feels or shows flight symptoms of indis position, and continues to be com municable for not longer than 10 days to two weeks. It is no longer communicable after the paralysis dovelops. 'Practically the. disease is spread only during the acute feverish illness., which passes about the time the weakness or flabbi- ne.ss in the affected muscles be comes evident. Jlii Xeeds Manicure. "What can I do to help a girl of 11 to stop biting her nails? She is an active, healthy child but bites her nails continually. I have pleaded, bribed find punished with out effect . . Mrs. K. K. Answer. If she is your daugh ter, Madam, you take a wrong at titude. That is evident In your description of the child as "a girl." If you took the right attitude you would call her "my girl" or "my daughter." Pcrhapri the best psy- hology for the child would be a Kerios of visits to a good manicure , say once a wek for half n dozen weeks. This will get her inter ested in the care of her nail.

By Alice Judson Peale t Jolin, uged three, had refused to coihe in'for lunch when his mother called him- . Instead he had .run laughing down the street. That evening when father came home he walked into tho living I room where John was playing with I his trains. "lour mother torn me about you, and I um tfoing to give you some thing to make you remember never to do a thing like that again," he said. Without further explanation he picked the boy up and spnnlced him soundly. Later, as his mother was putting John to bed, she said: "You nre never going to be a naughty boy again, are you? You know what will happen, don't you?" "Yes, I mustn't piny with my trains or father will spank me." With young children the connec tion between the misdeed and the punishment is entirely lost unless the punishment follows directly upon the wrongdoing. The value of any sort of punish ment Is often questionable, but it is certain to be futile unless the child understands clearly why he is being punished. Otherwise he is apt to think he is being punished for whatever he was doing at the moment when the punishment de scended. Frequently, to, tha punishment, especially when it takes the form af a spanking, Is so exciting that it blots out memory of whatever came before it. Feelings of hurt, delinnce nnd anger completely ab sorb him. If your child hns done something which must be punished, be sure that he understands exactly why he is being punished, and that the punishment Is not so severe ns to make him forget its cause. FINES, JAILTERMS PKNIH-KTOX. Ore.. Jan. 22. 0V) Don I'.aton, Laurence Timmons nnd Kyle : Cowtes. all of Milton Kreewatcr. were fined $200 ench and sentenced to 30 days in Jail when they pleaded guilty today in justice court to u charge of killing cow elk.

Some little 2x4 official annoys you a lot, but you ilon't have to snluto him. . One way to Keep boys from going to the chair is to employ treatment that makes them prefer standing up. Cutting wages will just postpone good times. That's the way It worked when they began cutting liquor. ' dSiAIS You can tell nn uncivilized coun try. It has no device that enables a scared kid to rob a dozen brave men. 3 How unfortunate that vacu. nm fle-.uiers didn't appear until men quit growing beards. Somebody suggests that all offi cials should wear some badge, and the office cynic suggests a small gold replica of a dog's hind leg. The only difference you notice, when vacation is over and the kids go back to school, is that you know where the car is. There's a catch in these inspira tional success stories you see in the papers, son. They don't tell how it hurts when the police shoot back. Americanism: Indulging in a periodic financial spree: bowling in dread of economic death while sobering. Men and dogs aren't much alike. When a dig lifts his nose, he's in misery instead of a limousine. Uprooting a bad habit Isn't ef fective, however, unless you sticli a good one in the hole. . Maybe. . turpentine nnd lanl on tho chest didn't cure colds, but H made the genus give up In disgust. - Business just seems bad, like the fight racket, because you can no longer get rich quick nt the ex pense of suckers. You never realize how influen tial you are until you observe that automobile manufacturers always wait until you buy before announc ing r lower price. People who think statesmen should vote us they drink must think toll calls come often. The policeman's lot is not h. hap py one.. How can he tell, when a car is acting that way, whether it's liquor, love or lunatics? Correct this sentence: "I turned him down when he asked for a loan," said the rich friend, "but he isn't sore about it.'' 4 WASHINGTON', IX C. Jan. 22 (P) -I lr-tn.il business . in Salem.
