What Price rCEREU only one night train from Medford to Portland. There is only one Pullman on the night train, which simpli fies; the matter of finding where you are going to sleep. There is no diner but a cafe car, which is one-half day coach. At this point of course Mr. A. S. Rosenbaum is all set for another brickbat directed at the head of his revered alter ego, the S. P. If so, then Eosey is due for a pleasant surprise. For this is no attack upon the Southern Pacific. TVe admit the night train to Portland is all that local patronage justifies at the present time. One Pullman is enough, and food and ser vice on the cafe car are fully up to the Shasta standard. OUT this IS a protest against the refusal of the Pullman com - pahy to put any equipment on this train that doesn't date back to the Civil war. As we understand it, the Pullman com pany decides where their sleeping cars are to go. The charge for a berth on this night train is the same as the charge for a berth on the best train in the country. This seems to us wrong. Either Pullman charges on this night train should be reduced or the equipment should be brought up to well say the McKinley administration. CHARGING first class prices for third class accommodations doesn't seem to us cricket. The Pullman company prides it self on running the largest hotel in the worlda hotel on wheels. Well, then, why not follow the established hotel practice of mak ing charges conform to the quality of the accommodations f Either standardize the equipment, when a fixed charge for Pullman accommodations would be justified or have one price for de hue accommodations, another price for average accom modations, still another for auto camp accommodations and so on down the line. ' As it is, it seems to us the Pullman company,, thanks to its monopoly, is getting away with murder, charging Biltmore prices for lodging house accommodations. HPHE railroads, we believe, should also be interested, for the A high cost of Pullman accommodations undoubtedly drive many people from rail to motor travel. Now is an excellent time for the Pullman company to reduce its charges all down the line, put on a few bargain days for themselves and assist the railroads in increasing the volume of passenger travel. Good for the Grange f C. HOOVER and the Applegate Grange came in for some valuable advertising in yesterday's Seattle Times. On the front page with a two-column cut of Mr. Hoover hold ing a bunch of Poa Bulbosa, is a lead story on the planting of 50,000 aores of burned-over land in the Applegate Valley, and with the run-over there is a four-column cut of the planting party of grangers on horseback starting out for the hills from the old Applegate store. Some publicity I And the sort of publicity we particularly like to see hooked up with one of onr important local Granges. Constructive conservation, the making of two blades of grass grow where none grew before that is a sort of service the granges are particularly well qualified to perform, even more worth while and important, we believe, than engaging in vari ous and sundry politioal activities. The Greatest Advertiser fXE important point regarding Sir Thomas Lipton, who passed away last Friday, haa been overlooked in the news paper comments we have seen. True, Sir Thomas was a good sport, and was principally known to Americans as a yachtsman, who was always beaten but never complained. , But equally, if not more interesting, was Mr. Upton's out standing success as an advertiser. Born an Irishman, Sir Thomas was by temperament American. His career was typically Amer ican, up from obscurity and abject poverty, to a position of wealth, distinction and power. He was in every partionlar a self-made man, and his sensa tional success was entirely due to shrewd and persistent adver tising. Even his yacht racing was utilized as good will publicity. f IKE all good business men, he realized advertising was not - an end in itself, but merely a means to an end. So first and foremost he saw to the quality of his product. But that established, then he concentrated in fair weather and foul in TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT IT. Without his genius for advertising Sir Thomas Lipton would probably have ended as he started an obscure and struggling green goods grocer, unknown beyond the borders of Edinburg, Scotland. . But thanks to his advertising, the fine quality of his pro duct and his character, his passing was front page copy for every paper in the English speaking world, and his death was mourned by thousands. Sundown Stories TREE'S WET FEET By Mary Graham Bonner "I'm going to turn the time for ward Just a Utile bit," began the Little Black Clock, "and you're going to see a very tine tree In It best autumn yellow costume."

They hurried along until they reached the swamp the Clock had told them to visit. It was a very ewampy looking swamp with wet leaves resting on the squashy, wet ground, and everything was settled down In the wet, swsmpy swamp as though nothing had ths wish or the energy to get up. And there. In the center, was a beautiful tree with golden yellow leaves. "I've wet feet," the tree announced with pleasure. . Tomorrow "Swamp White Oak." ROeiBURQ New Alton reetsu rant, sit West Lane street, sold to Alton eota) owoera. Today By Arthur Brisbane Shades of William Jen nings Bryan, Borah Wants 14 to 1. Is Money Too Scarce. Another Silver Campaign? Copyright King Feature Synd, Inc. Senator Borah wants Presi dent Hoover to call a monetary conference to place silver on a definite ratio with gold and suggests, tentatively, a ratio of fourteen to one. That would be going back to Bryan with a vengeance, and beyond Bryan, asked only sixteen to one. In such conditions as these, high finance, which founders in complete failure, is in no posi tion to sneer at "amateur fin anciers." They could not do worse than the professional financiers hava done. This country today stands supreme among the nations, in credit, and our dollar, as sound as gold can make it, is the standard of value the world over. The franc is worth a fifth of its pre-war value, Italy's lira a little more, and the noble pound sterling is wobbling. The American dollar is worth one hundred cents in gold and 100 per cent, or better, in any money on earth. THAT CONDITION MUST NOT BE CHANGED by exper iments with currency, by un loading Europe's war debts on America, or by any other in genious device. Teat understood, discussion of sil ver, and all other kinds of money, Is useful. The questions ore these: IS THERE IN EXISTENCE ENOUGH MONEY TO CARRY ON THE WORLD'S BUSINESS? Is there available enough GOLD to standardize enough dollars, or other money, to conduct the world's busi ness? This nation has no reason to fear silver, or anything that may be done to increase the value of sliver FOR WE HAVE THE SILVER. Add. 80 cents an ounce to silver's value, or more, as Senator Borah aug-J gests, and you will add untold bil lions of wealth to this country, to the value of Its mines and Its power to produce metallic currency. This North American continent la the land of silver. Put silver side by side with gold, on a fourteen to one basis as Borah suggests, or a twenty to one basis, and you Instant ly make North America the world's treasure house,' you bring Mexico's money and bonds to par, you solve Canada's money worries. And through our copper mining, of which silver Is a by-product, you add an Incalculable amount to our annual wealth increase. But can It be done, successfully, or safely? Is there any real differ ence between making "real money" of Oliver, which la plentiful compared with gold, and making "real money" of paper? That Is not on attack on Senator Borah's silver proposition. It Is a question asked In good faith. In good times, the payrolls of work ers In the United States, amount to sixty thousand million dollars a year. And all the gold In the world does not amount to one-quarter of that sum. ' The nstion's total annual Income In normal .post-war times la one hun dred billions. Cos you swing such figures on a "gold standard" when alt the world's gold Is lees than 15 per cent of Amerlca'a Income for one year? It Is certain that the output of gold, hss not kept pace with the world's busluess and currency requirements, whereaa silver, as It were, providen tially, has Increased through copper production demanded by the electri cal and other industries, almost aa fast as ths world's business, and Its need for currency have increased. Ths alchemists devoted centuries of effort to "transmutation of met Us," vain attempts to manufacture gold. Can high finance, or silver radicalism, by law and argument, make silver as good sa gold, or one fourteenth as good? It la an important question. If our depression and worries ore due to lack of gold, and not to the murder ing and squandering of the big wot, and It bl-metaUlam, Bryan's remedy, at some ratio would cur our Ills. HOW ADMIRABLY SIMPLE. Give us silver, at the ratio, by all means. But beware of Inflation OF MANUFAC TURED MONEY THAT IS NOT REAL money.

GUARDING CHILDREN AGAINST INFANTILE PARALYSIS FoltomyeUtt Infantile paraJyala) , to the beat of our present knowledge, ta an lofeetloua disease, oca of the resptra.tory lnfec- tlona, and it apreada from per son to person ex actly aa d, 1 p h therla does. The' Ylrua or germ of this disease, given off In the nose and throat dis charges of the patient may be carried by a third person who Is not 11 but who haa been recently tn close contact with one 11 of the disease, just aa a third person, such aa a nurse or a relative staying with the patient, may become a "earner" of diphtheria and Infect other children without coming down with the dis ease himself or herself If or when there Is reason to sus pect that poliomyelitis (Infantile par alysis) la developing or epidemic In the community, parents should be a little more conscientious than they are ordinarily about alleged "colds." for God only knows whether the ap parently mild Indisposition which selfish or Indifferent folk like to call a, "slight cold" Is actually the onset of poliomyelitis; a good doctor can't be sure about the diagnosis until the early symptoms of paralysis develop I hate to frighten anybody at any time. But this necessity of Including poliomyelitis ' among the common respiratory infections which comprise the group of tils fairly called "CRT In the early stage must be recog nized by all good parents not to mention doctors or health authori ties if we hope to make any prog ress In the prevention of this group of dlseasea. So far as our present knowledge of poliomyelitis goes, these recommend ations are warranted: 1. Isolate or at any rate keep be yond spray range of any person who purports to have a "cold" or who avowedly haa the cri. 2. Avoid crowds, gatherings, meet ings, parties, riding tn closed con veyances, and all other Intimate con tact with at rangers aa well as pos sible. 8. Keep children out of school and away from other children when at play. 4. All kissing' must be forbidden. 5. Plies in the house or about the premises may carry the infection Plies spell bad housekeeping or un sanitary surroundings. A. It is infinitely more Important to teach children to wash their hands ALWAYS before taking any food or drink than it la to make them brush their teeth. All of these recommendations apply not only to guarding children against poliomyelitis (Infantile paralysis) but also to the protection of cnuarn against many of the other respiratory infections, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, meningitis, measles. There la no specific remedy which will prevent poliomyelitis, no vaccine or serum as yet found enecuve. Serum (the colorless fluid part of postage stamps, the necessary amount totaling thirty billion marks.' If that had been real money, tt would have been seven thousand, five hundred million dollars. In stamps on one let ter. We do not want that. Actually with silver, selling around 80 cent an ounce-, whereas Its value In America was formerly 91-80 an ounce, the existing ratio between gold and silver is around sixty to one. You can buy sixty ounces of silver, and more, for one ounce of gold. The ratio of value exceeds the ratio of production, which Is abjut forty to one. But if silver's value were stabilised on almost any ratio below forty to one, silver production j would Increase enormously and gold production could not be Increased ! correspondingly. i The money question Is as mysteri ous as squaring the circle, or per petual motion. Something always crops up to spoil your plan. It is a problem that cannot be solved by guessing or wishing. But one thing is certain. WS HAVE GOOD MONEY. BUT NOT ENOUGH OF XT, and some of our best friends, like Dickens' characters, seem bent on "making your flesh creep." Former Governor Smith, who has worked and lived with the crowd, predicts disorder and. rioting tf the unemployed are not relieved. T. W. Lamont, of Morgan & Com pany, says the dole must come, as tn England, if the rich fall In their duty. And Elbert Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics, say unemploy ment has sent American payrolls ment doTJZ FORTY TER CENT, which j would mean the workers' annual 1 spending power diminished by twen ty thousand million dollars a year. Shall we make stiver as money, on a basis of fourteen to one, or forty to one? Certainty, it It would not Jeopardize this country 'a supremacy in the world's finance. But would the new money be REAL money? could It bring back prosperity, buy goods, restore and keep up wages, and WOULD IT BE AS GOOD AS OUR MONEY XS NOW? To give workec fifty-cent pieces and call them dollars would accomplish noth ing. A difficult question. But aome thlng must be done. Merely sitting and groaning will not solve our prob Ana Senator, "tarai'a .ugges - OCTOBER 3, 1931. the blood) obtained from persons who have recovered from poliomyelitis ts a valuable remedy in the treatment of the disease. Fortunately tt robs the donor of nothing more than would be the excretion of so much sweat. Probably such blood serum would serve aa a preventive if ad- ministered before infection, but the remedy is too precious and scarce for such use. Never mind the symptoms of polio myelitis. If a child seems feverish, drowsy. Irritable, have the doctor's advice at once. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Prepared Chalk for Acidity. Followed your advice and began taking calcium carbonate Instead of soda, for acid Indigestion and heart burn. It has apparently corrected long-standing trouble, for I eeldura require even a dose of the calcium carbonate now Mrs. A. V. D. Ans wer As explained In "Guide to Right Eating" (send 10 cents in coin and stamped envelops bearing your address and ask for the booklet) pre pared chalk (calcium carbonate) neu tralises acidity In the stomach with out affecting the acid-base balance In the blood. It is therefore prefer- able ' soda and other alkalis for oc casional or regular use. The Price of Cure. What do you think of a doctor who sets a price of $200 for treatments which will remove piles? . . A. s. Answer No matter what fee a doc tor charges. If be guarantees a cure he Is a faker. No reputable or re liable doctor or specialist ever pre tends to guarantee to cure anything For the treatment of hemmorhoids by any effective surgical method, 200 berries is a modest fee compared with the fees exacted by dentists, for instance, for their services. Trouble with the laity Is that It has been getting medical service for nothing or for a song so long that it hates to pay a doctor a fair fee today. How Doth the Fighting Cock Feel? For several years 1 had aches and pains in muscles which I called rheu matism," and so did several doctors. But I never found an lasting relief till three months ago, when I began taking your lodln ration.

The OTergrown driveway twisted away up the hill, and they followed It silently until they came to the deserted, brooding bouse at the top. In a far corner ot a broad wooden veranda Freddy baited and turned to her. "Well," be said grimly, ."how about this? She won't come up here, will she?" "No, Freddy." Sam smiled and shook ber bead. After s time he gently tipped back her chin and looked Into ber syes. "Well?" be inquired softly. Sam did not want to talk, being nappy once more, and at peace. She iigbed and murmured: "You uouldnt have come, Freddy." He laughed. "Why not?" "It's Just that It can't do any ood. It will make ns both more nhappy than we were before. "I don't agree," he said.

It was almost five o'clock whs Sam returned to the stable for tbj last time. She had been furiousl busy ever since Freddy bad left fa the city, and there still remained i great many things to be done In tin thirty minutes before She mm leave for the train. - There were two notes to be wrii ten ; one to Fourth and one to Peal Abbott She must speak to Marthi about the men's dinner.

Uartha was not In the kitchen, nor did she answer when Sam called ber name. Sam bad called: again, when sbe noticed an envelops; bearing ber name on ths white kitchen table. The note inside was not from Martha, but from Nelson Alderses. "Dear Sam," Nelson had written1 In scrawling pencil. "I'm afraid this Is going to be a shock to you, no matter how I put It, so I'll try to get It over as soon as possible.

She went to her drawer, where she found that only one of the fifty-dollar bills re mained In the handkerchief case. She seated herself in a little chair beslds the window. For twenty minutes there was Ab soluts silence In the stable. Sam did not move.
