Golilim .State Limited, Feb. 20.
Wi are iloin;; our licxt tlii
year to booxt the K. I'. stock,
back to normalcy. Hut tliey
aren't making mucli out of tlie
editor this trip fur it is u week
end excursion, the best bar
gain tbc S. P. ever offered, -
about lit) per ctuit of a one-way
fare for a round trip.
The train is a lotij; one and
well filled, whijh shows that
the S. i lias some brains after
all. For these trains JTAVK
run, the overhead must be paid
regardless of the income, how
much better to have a crowd
on board instead of a baker's
dozen. No doubt all the trains
iKi'iug out of i. A. tonight are
similarly packed, and the
boats, too, for that matter a
10 round trip rate to Han
Francisco if we remember cor
rectly. If more of these ex
cursions were put on we have
an idea the railroad problem
financially would be solved.
We notice by the Medford papers
that the legislature Is seriously
considering a cigarette tax, which
raises the question once moro as
to whether or not wo live hi a
Democracy.
If wo do, thon this bill should
never get to first base. Kor the
people of Oregon Imvo put them
selves on record twite that they
DON'T WANT A CICiAKKTTIC
TAX. A similar measure wbb beat
en two to ono In 1925 and throe
to Olio nt tho recent cloctlon and
yot, according to our Information,
the members of the legislature arc
determined to put this measure
Over, whether or no.
The present writer smokes cigar
ettes and frankly has no objection
to paying a few cenls additional
to save tho state of Oregon from
bankruptcy. Hut that's not the
point. The point IS Iho people as
a whole don't want it, and to in
sist upon forcing them (o liavo It
simply to dony them tho 1'iallon
able right of self government.
So ns a matter of principle we
oppose this cigarette tax und hope
tho leglulauuro will seo tho error
of Its ways, and dump tho measure
in tho waste basket. Conditions
may bo bad from a financial stand

point, but they can't be so bad
that the people of Oregon must be
forced to accept the one form of
taxation that they have twice re
pudiated, the second time less than
three mouths ago.
As a last word on the movies,
we might say that the best picture
we have seen this trip is an old
one, given at a second rate
theatre In Pasadena last night,
"The Ilight to lxive," with Kuth
Chatterton as the bright and par
ticular star. As are all of Miss
f Chutterton'a lilnis, this is very in
i tclllgently done, no hokum or
! hooey, u chunk of real life, effect
ively and impressively portrayed.
We don't know anything about it,
but have a pious idea the film has
not been a succes financially cer
tainly not Judging by the size of
last night's audience. One hears
a great deal against the "low brow"
movie magnates but when all Is
said and done, the fault rests not
with them but with the people. The
people in the last analysis get just
what they want and what they
want Is what they are willing to
pay for. The quality of moving
picture entertainment will improve
just 'as fast as public taste im
proves, and no faster. It Is silly
to blame the producers. They are
not philanthropists and can't he
expected to run their business
without profit any more than Indi
viduals In other lines.
If Miss C'hatterton In "The Right
to Love" hasn't been seen in Med
ford as yet we can recommend It
highly to those who like their
entertainment as a mental and
emotional stimulant rather than a
soporific or Irritant.
Speaking of cheap rates, It's sim
ply astounding how tho cost of
living has reduced In a year In Los
Angeles. We mentioned oranges
at 75 cents a lug box the other
(lay, but on the highway near Pasa
dena they uro selling good looking
ones for ,15 cents a box. And, Judg
ing by tho prices on dresses, cloth
ing, groceries and food, everything
is more or less in the samo pro
portion. As a woman on a street
cur remarked today to her com
panion, "Ain't It hell wliut you see
when you ain't go no money?"
We are duo at Phoenix at 0:30
In the morning and the flourishing
metropolis of Willcox east of Tuc

we are tho only passenger on the

There is only one reason for going

he is a yes man.
1 was brought
up to believe, and
1 have ulways be
lieved up to this
year, that the rad

rupture) Ih tho
only eliuctive reatment. I have
taught that hero, for many yeara.
I have been quite arbitrary about
It, insisting that euro of hernia in
an adult by any other means than
the radical operation la too remote
a possibility to consider. 1 have
urged upon all adults subject to
such a nuisance, menace or disabil
ity tho advisability of entering a
hospital and undergoing an opera
tion for the sake of Increased ef
ficiency one enjoys from the cure
of hernia. 1 have taught that a

infant, a natural cure, may be ob

bandage, dressing or supporter ap

scarcely to bo eNpeetcd after the

enough cases to excuse the poor
man who pays his own way for his
hesitancy about undergoing the
treatment. In the past I have al
ways been impatient with him
about this, for as I say I sincerely
believed the operation was virtu
ally a sure thing and hence that it
offered the working man a way
out of his difficulty. I even con
sidered the cost of operation an
economy as balanced against the
cost of lifelong monkeying with
trusses and the like. So you see it
weighs only " conscience sure, I
have one yet when 1 realize at
last that quite a few hernia opera
tions fail to cure. 1 feel I owe an
apology to victims of hernia whom
1 misled.
Like the quack who gave you an
other bottle of his nostrum abso
lutely free It the first six bottles
failed to do you any good, I now
offer hernia victims 4tbo ambulant
treatment, which, at any rate does
not interfere with the patient's reg
ular occupation and involves no
great risk, und no harm, if it fails
to cure. This ambulant treatment
is now heing used by many good
physicians. It consists of a series
of injections of medicine into the
tissue about the inguinal ring,
through which hernia protrudes,
and this brings nbout a deposit of
fibrous or scar tissue which suffi
ciently closes the ring to prevent
further protrusion. Of course the
injections are not so easy as they
sound it requires real skill and
thorough knowledge of the anat
omy on the part of the doctor ad
ministering such treatment. It us
ually requires half a dozen, moro
or less, sittings at intervals of a
week or more.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Immunity
1. Is there anything that wilt
make a person immune for syphil
-is? 2. Is there any simple way
to test food for germs before eat
ing it? t II. I
Answer 1. No. 2. Only a bac
teriologist can test food for germs.
I may say that no one need ever
fear contracting syphilis through
eating food. There is no evidence
whatever that even food handled
! or served by persons havisg active
I syphlllB ever carried the disease.

J pentent to make the diagnosis he
should be as competent to prescnuu
thetreatmenl. enlarged liver has
no particular significance to me.
Paraffin In the Chocolate
Kindly tell me whether the paraf
fin In the enclosed recipe is harm
ful. (Mrs. S. L.)
Answer The recipe Is one for
making a chocolate crunch and It
Includes halt' a spoonful of melted
paraffin. That is quite harmless.
Haraftin Is commonly used In can
dies and pastries or cakes to pre;
vent melting. It is no moro harm
ful than the familiar "mineral oil,"
otherwise known as liquid petro
leum, and Ruesian oil, which is
commonly tnken as an Intestinal
luoiicanu Paraffin Is the samo
thing in solid form. Of course it
is not a food and Is not absorbed
or utilized by tho body.
A Marathon Bun Finished
My brother had a running ear tor
IS years. A year ago he began
using the drops you suggested 10
grains of boric acid in an ounce of
alcohol and the running stopped
after a few weeks and never re
turned. (C. H.)
Answer Assuming the car did
not stop running from sheer ex
haustion. The vial should be warm
ed up by standing in hot water just
before It is used, and one or two
drops only dropped in the ear ech
night and morning, over a period
of many weeks. If your druggist
gets unpleasant about providing
the ounce of alcohol, I can't do
anything about it.

.Parents
LYING FOR rUXISHMKXT
By Alice Judwm Peale.
One kind of lie that children tell
is extremely baffling and inexplic
able to the parent who is not fa
miliar wtih the most obscure work
ings of the human mind.
A boy of eight confessed to his
mother that he had broken the
windows of a nearby garage "just
for fun." 'His father p romptly
whipped him, and the next day his
mother emptied the boys savings
bank and took the money to the
garage owner. To her amazement
he was quite unable to undcrMand
the purpo.Ho of the visit, for no
windows hud been broken.
Children not infrequently tell
such lies as these and their pur
pose, curiously enough, is exactly
what it seems to be to bring pun
ishment upon themselves.
This desire for pumVhment usu
al iy springs from a more or less
o 1 iseu re a ml co m p 1 ica ted sen so of
guilt. Sometimes a sympathetic
talk with the child Nvil bring to
light the cause of this guilty feeling
and servo to clear up the difficulty,
but usually the solution of such
problems require the expert skii!
of a psychiatrist.
It is helpful, however, to know
that in uch instances the child
feels guilty about some wrong
doing (often a wholly secret one)
which he has committed or would
merely like to commit.
In tho latter instance bis eon
science rauses him to feel all tbc
guilt which be would experience if
he had actually done the deed.
The parent should make the
child understand that his falsehood
is known without condemning him
for it. .Make an effort to center
the child's interest in wholesomeJ
companionship nnd play activities,
and to develop at home a spirit of
friendly understanding and corn
pan iontfhip, are the best ways in
which anyone who is not n psychia
trist can meet the situation.

ering 25,000 acres. He thinks he

American capitalist will change

worth more than the coal, and ship
the power by wire all over Jiexi

In visiting the works now, be
fore the new veiiicle bridge over
the Sonora river is built, you ride
across the river in a two-wheel
cart, drawn by three donkeys har
nessed abreast.
Coming tne other way yesterday
was a load of wood, drawn by five
donkeys, barely able to keep their
feet, with the water as high as
their shoulders. Pulling was diffi
cult, donkeys fear to walk In water,
and the load of mesquito wood was
heavy. The little creatures strug
gled desperately, and, with the help
of volunteers from shore turning
the wheels by hand, they finally
came to shore.
Men work hard for a living in
this country. As for the donkeys.
If there is no heaven prepared for
them, that now bear the burden
for millions of human beings, there
is lack of Justice.
While bridges are lacking, the
