The Power of Mind
"Hats, fear, worry and Jealousy combine to shorten man's life. 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. ,

a specialist, but a general prac

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Salt Injections for Thromboangiitis
My right leg was amputated below
the kne for thromboangUtla ob
literans. I am S7 years old. Now
my left foot haa the same symp
toms. My doctor told ms to. write
you and inquire tha strength and
amount of th salt solution In
jections. I have been a bard srnok
sr for go years, using a pack of
HO every 34 hours, (A. S, N.)
Answer A S per cent sterile' filt
ered solution ot salt In distilled
water is used, about a nunc th
first Injeotton, 1Q ounces for ub
sequent Injeotlons, first three time
a week, then twice a week, finally
ones In a week or twoi This meth
od seems most successful In, pres
ent practice. The use ot tobacco
must stop, of course.
Tonsil Treatments Not All Pleasure
I am having my tonsils treated
by diathermy by Dr. whom
you recommended. 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. Two or three week in
bed now might be lee Irksome
than months of snforced rest later.
Your doctor probably know what
alls you. Better follow, his advlc.

standing. "Fourth," she said quiet
ly, "Nelson is here. Aren't yon go
ing to speak to him?"
Fourth, with his broad back to
ward her, made no sign that he had
heard. He was standing directly In
front ot Eugenie Frye, and now he
began to talk as though ha were
continuing an uninterrupted con
versation. "I could hardly believe
It," he said In a loud artificial ton,
"bat the man waa intoxicated, Mr.
Frye, He was hardly able to put
two sensible words"
"Fourth!" Sam stamped her
toot "Don't be ridiculous! Don't
pretend that you didn't hear what
I said!"
"Ah." Fourth turned slowly
ibout and faced the little group at
:he front door. His normally florid
face was a dead white and his
Mam's apple was twitching, but
li managed a correctly apologetlo
little bow. "You'll pardon m.
loan, but Mrs. Frye and I ware in
the midst of an interesting conver
sion. You were saying?"
"Don't' b ridiculous!" Once
more Sam stamped her foot.
"Here's Nelson, Fourth. Aren't you
;olng to speak to him?"
Fourth's bright blue eyes regard
id his son dispassionately, as
though Nelson were some not par
ttcularly Interesting biological
specimen. "Speak to him?" he
murmured. "Ot course. How are
yon. Nelson? Thoughtful of yon to
drop in."
Fourth bowed gravely and, turn
ing his back, once more -began to

Nelson looked at Sam. "Something,
tells ma we'd better be going," be!
laid wearily.
"Nonsense!" said Sam hotly.
"You're going to stay right where
you are. Not only that, but we're
going to put an end to all this
hilrllahnesa rieht here and now.
Sit down, Nelson, please, Yen sit
down, Martha, too."
When th nsir had seated them
selves on tha davenport Sam
walked over to Fourtn. "rourui,

"Hateful?" Fourth looked down
at her and shook his bead sadly.
"You asked me to do something,
Joan, and unless I'm mistaken, I
did It J that being bateruir
"It is, and you know it! Ton
didn't really speak to Nelson. Yog
Just said 'bow do you do' and
turned your back, You mustn't aol
that way. Fourth. You must talk
to Nelson and to Martha, tool"
"Must I? That's an lnterestlni
Idea, When I come to think of it
It might be amusing, too." He
smiled gently, "I wight, for In
stance, ask Nelson It be Is think
Ing ot going in for larceny In
really big way."
"Fourth 1"
"Yes," Fourth continued smooth
ly, "that would be an interestlm
topio to dlscusa with Nelson, but
his wife might be more difficult. It
wouldn't be tactful, I suppose, for
me to show an Interest In her
father's business." He shook hit
head, "That might sound fishy."
"Fourth!" Sam gasped and took
an Involuntary step backward. Be
fore she could recover beleelt, Nel
son was at his father's slds,
"Be careful what you say!" Nel
son was blurting furiously. "Be
careful what you cay, do yon under
stand? Yon can insult me all yos
Ilka, but yo'd better not make an
other remark like that about my
wife! If you do, I'll "
Fourth ignored him. He turned
to the widow Frye, who waa a
frightened huddle in her chair. "It
seems a shame," he said to her re
gretfully, "to bring this delightful
visit ot yours to an end, but I am
afraid the time has come when I
had better take you home."

words even when th widow stood
at tha threshold on th point of de
parture. Fourth Aldersea seemed
to b the only one who had com
plete control of his faculties.
"I won't be gone long, Joan."
Fourth glanced absently about tha
room as he prepared to close tha
door behind him. "Yon might open
a window or two, It yoH don't mind.
It seems stuffy tn here." He nodded.
"Yes. Just a bit stuffy."

After a time he stopped la front
