Such emotions crests poisons In ths system ss definitely as bacteria and with tha asms results. All human orgsns are disturbed, waste pro ducts are Increased, foundations for certain destructive diseases are laid." NO, kind reader, the ibove is not quoted from some disciple of the New Thought. It U an extract from an address de livered yesterday before the American College of Surgeons, in New York City, by Dr. George W, Crile, famous director of the Cleveland clinic, and endorsed by Dr, Charles H. M0, the qvoii.moi'e-famoiis head Pf the Rochester (Minnesota) olinic. Very interesting I Only a few years ago, there were two ex treme and opposing schools of thought, ThosQ who believed the mind had NOTHING to do with disease j and those who believed it bad EVERYTHING to do with it. fee RECENTLY a new cult has grown up whioh might be termed the common sense cult gtrikipg a mean between these two extremes. Disomies of this school believe, with Pr, Crile, that the men tal attitiude has a great deal to do with disease, -both in it cause, and in its treatment. They also believe, that the scionoes of medicine and surgery perform a service for which there U no satisfactory mental substitute, They have thus arrived at a fairly definite position which is essentially a compromise, combining tha good in both systems, what might be termed a mental-medical combination, each one supplementing the other, and constantly co-operating toward the common end, of better health; In our opinion this marks great advance in the never end ing fight against disease. . Meier & Frank Show the Way DURING the last gubernatorial campaign, opponents of Gov ernor Meier frequently quoted leaders of the Portland com munity chest, to the .effect that the chief obstacle to the success of their drives bad been the penurious attitude of Meier & Frank. It was olalmed that the most prosperous ooticern in the city, gave so little compared to what its wealth justified, that tha sucoess of their entire campaign wag constantly jeop ardized, As far as we know the essential truth of this charge has never been questioned. But oertalnly this year suoh a count can't be held against "Portland's Own Store," and former op. ponents of Governor Meier will be glad to wipe, it off the slate, I AST year Meier & Prank donated $15,000 to the Community Chest. This year, whioh with them as with all other con cerps, has undoubtedly been far less prosperous, they have con, tributed $22,500- an inorease of 50 per cent. This is a fine example of the sort of financial gaorlfioe and spirit of unselfish public serv ice that the present emergency demands. People of wealth, and concerns of wealth, should give more this year than last, for two reasons i First, baoause tha need is greater. Second, because there are so many more people this year who can't give ANYTHING. Here 'a hoping the example set by Meier & Frank will be followed not only in Portland mean the sucoess of community ohest drives everywhere. The Right Spirit TWO' years ago an announcement that the Snider Dairy com pany were to double the size of their plant would have probably been printed on an inside page under a standard head. But yesterday the Mail Tribune featured the story as a front pago lead under a banner, ', We believe that, strictly on the basis of nowa value, this prominent play-up was justified. XOR under existing conditions it comes uhder that classifies- tion of a man bitten by a dog. With calamity howlers on every street oorner, with scores of Lugubrious Blues, predicting the end of the world, with so many men looking for the nearest cyolone oellar, any established ooncern that decides to expand, inorease its capital investment, take advantage of low construc tion costs to prepare for better times, deserves both a privi leged nows position and editorial comment. So wa congratulate the Snider Dairy company. Such an ex ample of courage, faith in the future, and good business sense is what this community and the entire country needs. e e e e TpOR it IS good business sense. Now is the time for tho com- pany that NEEDS things, or the individual tlint NEEDS things, to GET them. Now is the time to invest and to buy; it isn 't the time to hoard or to sell. If the example set by this local company wero followed by all other companies and all individuals, equally capable of going ahead, as far aa their financial situations are concerned, this depression which has been over so many times, really WOULD be over. , Talks ID HURRY IN THB NURSERY By Alio Judson Peals.

KNOWLEDGE AND SPECIALIST In a P'P organ factory I saw a muter workman roll a long (lender metal (trip Into a tube, for one ot tha high violin notes, and then with a single w s e p of his Iron solder the Joint from one end to ths other. It looked down right olmple, mer child's play. Th work man told ma he had served some thirteen years aa a p p r s n tlce before he had mastered bis trade. What American Msdlpln sorely needs today Is a revival of the old custom of apprenticeship. Every medical student should bs appren ticed to a practicing physician not a specialist, but a general prac titioner, a family doctor, for at least a year before ha i permit ted to graduate from medical school, very doctor should be compelled to serv at least five yesrs, better ten years. In private general prao tlc before he Is permitted to hold himself out as a specialist. It some such sane system were adopted In place of tho crazy highbrow top heavy educational system si pres ent In vogue in this country, ths people would receive far better medical service than I now avail able. There Is something Inspiring In wstahlng sn artist work, I have Just rsturnsd .tram a visit to an artist In diathermy. Ra Is extir pating the tonsils of a member of my family. I gleaned from th sitting thes faota about he dia thermy extirpation of tonslla: 1. The Instrument or eleotrode or applicator Itself never become vn warm, but always . remain oool. Thus electro-coagulation 1 not "burning." 2. Th heat I generated In. the tissues treated, from their reelstano to the pasaag of. th current. 8. Electro-surgery 1 sultabl for .malignant (cancerous) and tuber culou tonsils which ar otherwise Inoperable. 4. Obstinate mycotic Infections respond readily to this new method (. It Is ths method of choice for th aged, debilitated, hemophiliac (bleeder), and for all adult handl- oappd by chronlo heart, kidney or other computations which render surgical tonalUectomy unavailable or unsdvlsable. e. with proper technlo diathermy extirpation ot the tonsils is blood less, and the discomfort to patient la never sufficient to interfere with regular meals. 7. with a minimum of five treat ments to each tonsil alternating at Intervals of a week, a perfect ton sillectomy may be done with this method. I saw this artist treat hyper trophlo turblnatee In the nose with diathermy, and the method ttr duces uch hypertrophies or thick ening without sacrificing seful functional structures or tissues.

It Isn't exactly painless, yst It Is not nearly a bad aa that man described It, whose letter you published. It It war I would not hav returned for the second treatment. In fact I hav not missed any meals, nor lost any time at the of fie. Th only fr foot I a alight sore throat. I am glad I started before -that man' letter appeared I might hav ben sewed off. (H. H.) Answer It Is fairly comparable with dental treatment. Few escape the dentists ohalr without some discomfort or ven a little pain. But seldom do we neglect dental treatment on that aooount, If your doctor la master of the technlo. the whole course of treatment will be completed without 'interfering with your usual occupation or even with your regular meal. Remember, too, that the man who found the treat ment so painful aeleeted hi phy sician through some commercial house. Not every doctor who can afford a diathermy Instrument la qualified to extirpate tonsils with diathermy. Heart Trouble la there any cur for dilation of th heart? I am a teacher with my first year of teaching Just psst a very hard year for me. My doctor prescribes complete rest, but I can't rest. I gave up dancing an1 athletics. I'm afraid I may have to go to bed . . . (M. B.) Answer Not knowing th nature of your trouble I am not quaUfled to advise.
