Material conditions are important, but THE MFA'TAL AT TITUDE ONE TAKES TOWARD THEM IS MORE IMPORT ANT. World business lias been seriously ill, and is still far from well. Hut the rules which apply to business health, are identi cal with those which apply to physjcal health. Imagine what would happen to an individual who had been seriously ill; if in the midst of the illness, or when convales cence had started, the doctors, the nurse, the members of his fanuly and his friends, did nothing but talk about his itches end pains, and the slight chance he had of ever regaining his health again. Only the individual of; extraordinary vitality and will power would ever survive. lie would not only have to' fight the disease; but those dearest and nearest to hiiiv ' i '' .... IT IS the same with business. The anvil chorus with its con stant squawking, its insistence upon looking upon the dark est side of things and predicting the worst, is doing everything in its power to invite the supreme disaster it deplores and pre sumably wishes to avoid. '"'.' ' There is no point in disregarding the seriousness of any ill ness, physical or economic,-'-undereHtimating the dangers is as harmful arid absurd, ns overestimating them. BUT there is no need, and no exiouse, for doing EITHER. The sensible course also the courageous and intelligent course is TO FACE THE PACTS AS THEY ARE ON ONE HAND: AND THEN PLACE THE BEST POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION UPON THEM, ON THE OTHER. This isn't Pollyrtniia optimism; it is merely common sense. It is the gospel of the worker and the fighter; as opposed to the gospel of the squealer and the quitter. It is, in short, the true spirit of America, the spirit that has made the country what it is; and was NEVER MORE ACUTE LY NEEDED THAN IT IS TODAY. ; : 'j ); .

More coddling of criminals, RKMARKN ON UiTTl'fR Health and diet propaganda, says the bureau of agricultural econo mica,' haa produced a demand for let tuce that has pushed It Into second place among vegetable foods. Iu popularity Is exceeded only by that of the potato. That shows what health and diet propaganda can do wlt,h nothing to start on. The legend that lettuce la "good" for humane la based largely on the fact that It la green. But so are the leaves of the shade trees. Lettuce does have a food value, but to get the benefit of It the consumer Would have to eat It by the bale. When health and diet propaganda went to work on It lettuce was used only to garnish a plate of real food. It was wholly ornamental. But the health and diet propagan dists, who never can let anybody alone, got the notion there must be rune connection between lettuce and the superior Intelligence of the rab bit. They announced this discovery to the world with the result that millions of people now have attained the Intelligence of rabbits. The only reason the rabbit atlll leads to that he does not put salad dressing on his lettuce. , (Kansas City Star) The "champion of the people" crop Is now the heavleat In the memory of living man.

The Medford public library, under the able direction of Miss Woolscy, has been going quietly along from year to year, doing its job, without any blare of trumpets or clanking of cym bals. '" Everyone has known it was a good library. But wo didn't suspect,, and believe few others suspected, it was as GOOD as it is. A pamphlet entitled "The Letter," published weekly by the Manchester Educational Center, of Pittuburgh, Pennsylvania, edited by Samuel Ely Eliot, came to this desk the other day, and from a report of the meeting, of the American Association for Adult Education held in Now York city, we quote the fol lowing extract : '. ; - ' "In one of the general sessione, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columbia University, closed a magnificent address with the fniinwinir aio-ntricant nersonul anecdote. Referring to the special in- , terost whloh library reading lists have always hod for him and Inci dentally he oast a slur on a great many of them by saying they tend altogether too mucrvto include 'Beat Sellers' and 'Books of the Month' ' he told about an experlenoe he had when he dropped into the 11 . brary of the little town of Medford returning from a visit to Crater Lake: " I picked up the reading list, from the library desk, and waa de lighted to find a well balanced piece of work. The treatment of a subject from one angle was offset by Its treatment from other angles; Its approach by an author of one type with an entirely different ap proach by some author of another type. It was an inspiration to en counter a genuine example of creative work of this sort In a distant part of the Union.' " Not bad, coming from ono of the foremost educators and publicists in the country today, a man with both a lmtiotia! and international reputation for never indulging in hot air, and never giving credit excopt where credit is emphatically duo. Good Work i HERE is a bright side to this much-advertised depression. It has been a truism that public officials are always asking for more money for themselves and their departments, and iil wuvs fighting against iiuy suggestions of retrenchment and .eonomy-EXCEPT ppR THE OTHER FELLOW. . Hut thanks to ngKressive leadership and good business sense in Jackson County, local officials yesterday voluntarily na eepted reductions in their departments which will total up proximately 1,0110 a year. : Knowing these officials, one is safe fn predicting that their service to the people will be as efficient and sat'iHl'iietory, in the future, as in the past. The county officials have simply done voluntarily what every well managed business hits been forced t do cut here and save there, to successfully meet the changed eeonnmie conditions.

Just a plain gar den variety of, er. medical student. Browsing about through the amaz ing quantities of current medical literature I get Impressions here and there that seem to dovetail, and when you find the Ideas or theories or ob ner vat ions of one observer fitting in like that with the thought of an other from a distant quarter of the globe you can't help thinking that maybe both Investigators are headed In the right direction, even If they are approaching the problem from different angles. There are a thousand and one cut and dried, "dlefts" for stomach or duodenal ulcer patients, each having its eminent originator and Bponsor. and a following of more or leas Im portant specialists who peddle the menu out to patients and get fat fees for It or at least considerable fame. I find I can peddle complete diet, lists (for gastric, or duodenal ulcer patients at a nlckle or a dime per customer and make a profit on the business! My dldt lists are neatly printed and accompanied with brief recommendations or B u g g e tlone which would probably cost the suck customer an extra ten berries . it he got It from some alleged stomach specialist. But I'm not peddling diet lists. Not that I like to be mean and unac commodating. Only that 1 don't be lleve they are worth your nlckle or dime, my poor gullible friend. Oh, yes, I have o few little things like that, menus, sample diets, as it were, in one thing and another which I do send to a correspondent when I think It may be of use to him. : What I mean ils you can't purchase a diet list for this or that from me, not at any price, and neither can you get one free of charge, by asking for It. If you get any such list from me It will be strictly voluntary on my part, and NOT In response to your request or order.

I am nappy to send this list to any correspondent who asks for It and incloses a stamp ed envelope bearing hia address. On the back of the menu, just to prove I'm not so crabbed, you will find a complete menu of six meals a day covering the first week's, diet for an ambulatory peptic ulcer patient, so If the patient at your house gets peev ish with the two, three or four star meals he- shares with the rest of the family, Just turn him over and give him the diet on the reverse aide of the menu, or rather, turn the menu over and feed him for a week from that side. folks, a carefully prepared Menu for Ql'ESTIO AM) ANSWERS Varicose Veins. Is it poslble to cure varicocele by exercise, such as running, and the application of hot and cold packs? Can the IU effects be remedied by this method? J. R. Answer Sounds like a farcical cult cure. Varicose veins in any situation cannot be cured by such fool remedies. Varicocele has no particular 111 effect, save the discomfort It gives In some cases.

Short ly after you offer 'em the remedy I suggest they'll get out of everything and quit your premises cold.

The behavior of three-year-old Bobby on certain occasions when his fa'.her monopolized his mother's at tention was considered most amus ing. Bobby was In the habit of running down to the gate to meet his father when he came home at night. Dad would pick him up. kiss him. and bring him Into the house. Then abruptly he was put down, his small presence entirely forgotten, v.,1lle his .father and mother absorbed each other's attention. . Bobby would wait patiently for a few minutes, then he would tug first at mother's dress and then at fath er's trouser leg., sometimes even thrusting himself between them, and shouting loudly to attract their notice. ' ' Time and again this performance waa greeted with gales of laughter. Sometimes they even teased him by pretending to be more and more engrossed in Lhelr conversation, pur posely Ignoring him. It was not until the day when Bobby, overcome with rage, sank Ills small sharp teeth Into his father's wrist that they ceased to think his behsvlor was cute. Childish Jealousy Is not a Joke, for It can become a consuming passion whirrt fills the spirit with feelings of hate and inferiority that In turn give rise to guilt and more Inferiority. The parent who encourages exhi bitions of Jealousy through teastng. ridicule, or Indifference is guilty ot something which Is actually a crime against his child. The Jealousy which a child, feels toward elt.'ier parent Is peculiarly devastating In Its effect upon the entire personality. It does more dam age than almost any other one emo tlon.
