In the way of hardy delicacies Copenhagen snuff or Peerless tobacco. The pcMenry of both Is discussed learnedly nnd without gattlng places. 20 years ago come next (September, the flies of this paper reveal, O.

A BIT OP SKNT1MKNT (Jollrt, III., Times) One of tho Interesting fea tures of the bridegroom's part' ' in the wedding was the fact that the suspenders which ho wore had been carefully em broidered 70 years before by his grandmother tor Ji 1 h grandfather's wedding day. Ev Ttoanios, tho eminent barris ter, was noted going to work this am. at 7:85 o'clock. This la a fine example to tho bumper crop of young lawyers, whether or not learned counsel had anything to do at the early hour. (Nebraska .It, Kentucky 4; Arlsona lit). Lower court affirmed. Peaches canned In June, are now impairing the evening uuto driving. A Scotch story that visited this city In 1927, and was hurled from lion vlvant to bon vlvant, returned yeatorday In a new ilrs.'' '' .. "Rimer Haines, a hustling pro gressive and prosperous rancher of the Square , Top district, was In town over tho week-end. Mr. llslnra has little faith In the Hoov er war debt plan" (Palsloy Items) The moratorium gets a swift kick In the seat of the pants. People who are weary of rend ing matter In which Lord Wll. loughby wins tho pretty shop girl on Page 497, are referred to "A I Capone: The Htory of a Keif-Made Man." It makes the avorage Kane ' Orey yarn appear aa a bed-tlmo story, and la a mine of Information on human ornerynesa. t ' A case of Cossucklam la reported from the south end of town. An Inhuman Maw tanned her hoy. without Waiting for the Hun. and he now has a case of tho White Pine HI later. ' IIOMANCK MK.KTH VTILITY - tOownrr, Ida,, Ills turn n) ' To thn Editor: I am known vas a widow twice of Virginia, have four children, two small, . and two of school age, am looking for a husband. I can live on the place and take rare of things alono. Would like to hoar from men who aro not over forty year of age, single men that have no chil dren, that have farmed and would he willing to live on a farm and take Interest In the placo and help as a life com panion. Call nnd see me be fore cropping time. One with horses preferred, as 1 have none. I have all except horses and a true husband. Aa a result of the heat, not. a vest In the valley Is actively em ployed, and all the extant Model T's are frying .In their own fat. A cltlsen feeling conversationally Inclined, will let fly the surprising Information: "It's hot!" In most cases tne listener already whs aware,) of the fact and too weak or dumb to reply: "Vou don't say yo." Another favorite pastime, Is to cross-examine the witness In an effort to make him tell when the hot spell will end. He does not know, any more than does the weatherman. Our Humdingers, Inc., lose none of their efficiency during the torrldlty. "My wife Is dragging me down to the coast." wallet! one yesterday. "It'll throw me back In my work, but when tba girls make up their minds . . This shows nothing except that hypocrisy la not confined exclu sively to Prohibition, . BY ALL MEANS GIVE WR HEARTILY n(rrec with those who maintain, that all the facts concerniiiif the city scwaire nituation, should be presented to the people. For only with all the facto in vote intcllifreiitly on thia rjuestion, which we regard ax one of the most important that lias conic up for decision in many years, These fats, briefly, arc as follows: Jledford 1ms outgrown its present sewage system. The storm sewers are so inadenuate that (luri'itr such a rain as visited the eitv in June, raw hcwukc flows town streets. The septic tank is was cleaned out a short time ago, a very expensive operation and, from the standpoint of public health, a dangerous one. As a makeshift to reduce the danger of contagion, thousands of dollars arc being spent by the city in chlorinization. IN OTHER WORDS, THE EXPENSE OF OPERATING THE PRESENT INADEQUATE SYSTEM, IS EQUAL TO WHAT THE ANNUAL INTEREST CIIARC.E WOULD HE ON THE PROPOSED SEWAGE DIS POSAL PLANT. UNDER present conditions, Hear Creek running through the center of thu city, and a stone's throw from our tourist auto camps, is nothing less than an open sewer, certainly a dam aging advertisement to the outside world, regardless of the dangers to health involved. This sewer water is used to irrigate icertain truck gardens along the creek, and the owner of one of them has already sued the city for damages, a suit which, according to the best legal opinion available, will unless the condition is immediately cor rected be sustained in. the courts. .., THIS is the situation which Medford faces, and has faced for soma time. To, meet this situation, not only a menace to the public welfare, but a danger to tho taxpayers in the way of damage suits, the eity council called in several of tho best known sanitary engineer in the country, to survey the situa tion, and give their opinion as to what should bo done. They all agreed on the necessity of a modern sewage disposal plant, and also agreed on the estimated expense of such a plant. In view of low labor costs, and also low construction costs, this might bo reduced, but, as is always good business in such mat ters, a safe figure was adopted, rather than run the risk of ne cessitating a second bond issue. PO B a long tiiuo tho Mail Tribune bus realized this situation, and has studied tho problem from all ungles. As has been previously stated in this column, wc don't like tho idea of voting another bond issue at. this time, any more than other large tax payers. IF THERE IS ANY AVAY THAT THIS CAN BE AVOIDED, WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING TICK WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY, AND RUNNING THE RISK OF SERI OUS DAMAGES, WE ARE FOB IT. I lilt i to date wo have been able to find no other way., And we have- yet to find any other citizen who, after studying the situation, can point to any other way. In fact, we have talked with a score of opponents of this bond issue, and not ouo of them' lias' denied' the situation reited. .'''..; - !" THEN WHY NOT GET TOGETHER AND CORRECT IT? Almost invariably tho answer that "they don't know enough . Then, we repeat, NOW IS most exhaustive survey and cstimato of the entire problem has been made by City Superintendent Scheffel, with every expense carefully itemized i any taxpayer interested can securo a copy of this report, and these figures have been substantiated by outside sanitary engineers down to tho last nickel. AVhat more can the city dot Well, they can give greater tho press, but that costs money, and we sympathize with the city council in its desire to involve no expense at this time that is not absolutely necessary,, . .., .. , They could also siwure the health, through a survey 'by its are informed will be done. Such an opinion from an impartial source should have great weight with the people, and no doubt will have. Hut after all, this is a matter that the people alone can filially decide. All tho council, or this paper, on anyone can do, is to give them the information j they alone can act on it. 'T'llERE is. one misconception that should be corrected, how- ever, at this time. The bond issue is for $-';tr,(HHI and the statement has been made that a sewage disposal plant for a eity of 15,!)'.!'.! should cost only if 1 ir.,(MH). This is true, in fact, according to the city's figures, such a plant would cost only $112,5(10. Then why $'J;i,0(Hif lleeause this bond issue calls not only Tor n disposal plant, but for' a new trunk sewer, and the cost of such sewer is estimated at tlHS.OlKl, or a total of approxr. mately if'.'L'O.IHHl for both. The balance of s15,frtH is to be held for future contingencies, ami if not needed will be returned to the sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds. Isn't this good businessf We believe it is. Far lietter to have a plant that will not only provide for the present but for the future, rather than run the risk of Imviilg to build another unit, later, at n far greater proportionate cost. come back to the point we started from. The people most certainly should have all the facts regarding this bond issue, and between now and ele.-tion time the Mail Tribune is going to do all it rim to give them the Tacts. Toward this end we would welcome inquiries, on any phase of the situation, from anyone who hits' any doubts or wishes any disputed point to be cleared... With the people in possession of all the facts, knowing the situation hs it really is, we will be content on next Wednesday, as we have always been in the past, with whatever their decision may be. Hut we will not be content with a vote iiased upon misinfor mation or ignorance of the true situation, and so wc, call upon .nr irniirni in co-operaie wim us in making such a vote impossible. Hut isn't it rather t-liil.liah to tlit-n liuvt l b-t-ur,e she 8,-IU rtmi,t Hut if eo.M. don't mean to hit their victim but oulv frighten him, why not niHke them shoot blitnksf MEDFORD MAIL THE PEOPLE THE FACTS ' their poKsession can the people down one of our principal down so inadequate that, although it it must he cleaned out again PLAIN TRUTH IS, THAT THE is critical, and should bo or- to that hag been to the. effect, about it."

I took him to DVt 'h winltarlum where I had an X-ray taken for $10. The X - ray showed the nickel in his stomuch un der a rib., Orte of the nurses told me If he did not pass the nickel In a reasonable time the hoy must be operated v orjf. He has' not yet passed (he nii-kel and I am afraid an op oral Inn mlcht Injure him perma nently. Will you please , let me know if there Is any way of re moving tho nickel without an op eration and If It oan cause any harm hy remaining In his stom ach1! I gave him soverur dosos or castor oil hut he did pot pass tho nickel.. " We cannot afford to pay for an operation ... - . ' If tho nickel is In the ; boy's stomach, il should say thero Is no j harm In 'leaving It there, at least until 'the boy .develops some sign of trouble of some sort. j Whenever a child actually or j presumably swallows any foreign! body .lt Is well to AVOID all ciir t hurtles for, several days, and In stead feed the child plenty of ripe banana, baked or boiled potnto, and such other vegetables as the child' normally eats. This will favoi natural passing of the for eign body In a maun of undigested residue. Ordinarily such swallows cd objects may he expected to pass thru tho Intestine In two or three days... Why Is the correspondent unable to afford an operation? One reason- Is quito evident. The corre spondent too readily squanders money on a gamble. Anybody who of his own volition or responsibil ity has an X-ray' examination1 made, wastes the money It costs, as a g (moral rule. No ono should ever spend money fur such exami nation unless It Is advised by. a reliable physician. The Institution where thls'corre spondent took tho child for the X-ray examination Is obviously a quack Institution, for If It wore a reputable or trustworthy one the nurse would not indulge In any tin doctoring. I suspect the X-ray examination, Itself wns phony and If It really did show the nickel "under n rib" the UNDOWN STORIES 'AtiliKS AM) FRKlKIMni i lly Mnry (Irnliiini Homier. r John and 1'cgKy nnd tho Llttlo Black Clock sat unon A low mount tain for, far away horn DWplo.1'!

Kitty years ago. when the world moved ion, quickly than It does today, thers was something to be said for giving children a set ot f'ied Idrns about what might con. tltule proper limitations of the spheres of men and women and about their relation to each other. There then was no doubt that woman's plac was In the homo and that the man's job was to support that home. A girl brought tip to think hat OREfiON, WEDNESDAY, IH)K AT A nickel may be lodged In a bron chus and not In the stomach at all. If that Is so, then the child Is in much greater . danger than would be the case If the object is really In the etomach or Intes tine. On that account I advise the correspondent to take the child Immediately to some reputable physician- for proper care, or If the correspondent cannot afford to pay a private physician, then take the child to the nearest public clinic or hospital dispensary for examination. Not rarely when a child aspirates or inhales a foreign body, or when something "goes down the wrong way," tho object lodges in the windpipe or bron chial tube, and for a period of days or weeks may cause very little disturbance. Thon tho child develops symptoms of bronchitis, asthma or pneumonia.

I think blood pressure Is a matter which, for health's sake? Is best left entirely to the consid eration of tho physician. Only quacks and mall-order "health Institutes" give their victims such data to worry about. IMiotogruplicr'H Ifyo for Monoxide ;;7 Poisoning Have you recently given in your column some information about tho use of sodium hyposulphite as a remedy for monoxide gas poison ing? (A. D. S.) Answer Yes, sodium hyposul phite (formerly called thtosul phate), the chemical commonly used as a fixing agent In photo graphic work, has been found an excellent remedy In cases of acute carbon monoxide gassing and for tho after-effects of mild poisoning. It may be given internally In doses of a teaspoonful of the powder dls solved In half a glassful of water every 3 or 4 hours. It is harmless, and hastens the clearing up of the unpleasant effects of monoxide poisoning. It may even be advis able for persons exposed occupa tlonally to slight carbon monoxide poisoning to take a dose of the hyposulphite of soda every duy or two, say a teaspoonful. This has been tried out with considerable satisfaction In Prance. FLIGHT 0' TIME (Medford nd Jackson Oounty ;, History' From the File of , The Hall Tribune of 10 and 10 Years Ago.) .
