An Announcement
FOB A long time the Mail Tribune bag not been satisfied with
its distribution over tbe week-end. This is essentially an
outdoor country, and people here are, more and more, taking
trips into the country over the week-end. This is particularly
true during tbe summer, but because of the wonderful falls and
springs, and the mild winters, it has come to be a year-around
practice.
YYOW to meet this changed condition has, therefore, present-
ed quite a perplexing problem. The regular Saturday is
sue has been delivered too early to cover the week-end news,
while the regular Sunday issue has been delivered too late to
catch the week-end exodus.
After carefully studying the problem for several months, the
Mail Tribune believes It has hit npon a satisfactory solution.
BEGINNING OCTOBER 31ST, INSTEAD OF ISSUING A
SMALL SATURDAY AFTERNOON PAPER, WHICH IS DE
LIVERED TOO EARLY, AND A LARGER SUNDAY PAPER
WHICH IS DELIVERED TOO LATE, IT WILL CONSOLI
DATE THE TWO PAPERS, INTO ONE, DELIVER IT LATE
ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY COVER THE SATURDAY
NEWS, AND EARLY ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE
WHO ARE PLANNING A BRIEF SOJOURN OVER THE
WEEK-END.
TTHIS, needless to say, is rather a radical departure, but we
believe it will prove to be a popular one, and mark another
forward step by the Mail Tribune in its effort steadily to im
prove the service to its readers.
Not only is the management
reader service but it hopes to
bination the largest and most
WEEK.
TPOWARD this end many new
combination paper will not
day news, social, and special features ; bnt there will be included
a comic- section in colors the
duced by a newspaper in Southern Oregon on ITS OWN PRESS.
In addition, there will be a
strips, the regular and deservedly popular "Jiggs," "Mutt and
Jeff," "The Nebbs," augmented by such outstanding favorites
with young and old, as " 'Smatter Pop,1' "Bound to Win" and
"Tailspin Tommy."
With such a combination the Mail Tribune believes it will
give the people of Southern Oregon the FINEST ALL-AROUND
COMIC SECTION TO BE FOUND IN ANY NEWSPAPER BE
TWEEN PORTLAND AND SACRAMENTO.
e e e e
A NOTHER improvement, made possible by such an arrange-
ment, will be more complete sports coverage, particularly
during the football season.
Instead of brief summaries,
by-play reports will be given
after the final whistle hag sounded. There will also be a more
complete coverage of eastern and middle west college games,
while throughout the year there will be each week-end a com
prehensive picture of the entird sports drama.
. e o
THESE added features, needless to say, will oost money. But
the Mail Tribune believes that with certain meohanical
economies made possible by such a combination, and with the
better service to ALL its readers, it will find that the added ex
pense was in every way justified.
o e e e
AND now one final word. Habit Is a stern taskmaster. It is
human nature to resent change ANY change. So just as
other recent changes in this paper were- not universally wel
corned, probably this one won't be.
To those who think they don't like the new arrangemont,
we are merely going to repeat what we remarked to those who
thought they didn't like the new type faces, new format and
mnke-np a few months agoi
GIVE US TIME!
Just as Boores of readers
THEN, are enthusiastic over them
who don't like this change at first, WILL like it later on.
For after careful study and long deliberation, we are con
vinced this new arrangement will give our readers a better and
more satisfactory service than was possible under the old sys
tem.
And in the newspaper business as in every other business,
the acid test of success in any direction is SERVICE.

WEST ORANGE, N. J., Oct.
21. Thomas A. Edison lay in
his coffin here, this afternoon,
in his old fashioned house, with
tall pale green fern palms and
innumerable flowers about him
Sunlight streamed through
many windows of rooms opeiv
ing one into the other. In each
were gathered intimate friends
and relatives of Edison, old
employees, and those connected
with him in the electrical in
dustry.
In one room opening into
that in which lay the large
brown coffin, sat several that
had known Edison for many
years, some for half a century,
and more.
Samuel Insull, of Chicago, one of
the world's greateat distributors of
electrlo power, wss there, with his
wife.
Near him sat Owen D. Young,
chairman of the General Electric
company, and Gerard Swope, presi
dent of General Electric, and his
wife. Charlea M. Schwab was In the
same room.
More then fifty years ago, InsuU, a
youth in London, bought a little
book about Edison at one of the
Smith news stands, determined to
know him, cams to America and be
came Edison's privets secretary.
Forty years ago, Schwab worked
with Edison on the problem of con
oentratlng New Jeraey Iron ores.

ers of tbe incandescent light bulbs
that Edison created. How msny scores
of millions of such bulbs they have
made, they do not know.
Matthew Sloan, head of. New York's
Edison compsny, said that too much
emphasis Is put on Edison's Inven
tion of the Incandescent light, great
that la, hla creation of central
power pfants Is greater. Henry Ford
was there with his wife. They had
come from Detroit and with them
Edael Ford, their son.
Henry Ford had bidden farewell to
hla friend, both knowing they would
never meet again on this earth, two
weeks before Edison died. And Ford
refused to look upon Edison dead.
saying "I want to remember him
alive, with all his power."
Each man waa proud of Edison's
friendship or acquaintance and de
termined to make the honor known.
Ford, tor years haa been Edison's
friend. In the truest sense, devoted,
helpful In many ways, of which the
publlo knows nothing.
Those that admire Edison may be
grateful to Ford for all that he haa
done to free Edison's laat years from
worry.
Harvey Flveetone was there, with
his sons. He and Ford were Edison's
two most Intimate Wends, In the
later years.
President Hoover had planned to be
present, but work In connection with
the arrival of Laval and others from
abroad mads It Impossible at the last
moment.
Edison would have approved the
President's absence. He would have
said to Herbert Hoover, who haa
known him for many years "that's
right. Attend tint to the business
for which the publlo elected you.'
But the President did not send to
represent him any mere official sub
stitute. Mrs. Hoover came from
Washington, to the funeral and saw
Mrs. Edison, and tried to comfort
her.
There waa a brief delay In begin
ning the simple service, and that,
years ago, would have annoyed Edi
son, to whose active mind, time waa
everything. But there la no hurry
now, within that heavy box, with so
many flowers around it.
Old men that have worked with
him and for him, dlscusa the old
daya, In vtblspers. It was In 1873 that
Edison became known all over the
world, for hie Inventions In connec
tion with telegraphy. And about five
years Ister, the Western Oulon paid
him one hundred thousand dollars
for one telegraphic discovery.
That wae much money at that time.
but all of It went to scientific ex
periment. Edison living, literally, for
hie work, could conceive of no In
terest In money, outside of It.
Samuel Insull recalls that It was
In 1877 and 187S that stock in gas
companies dropped violently, all over
tha srorld. Finance had heard of Edi
son's else trio light. But one good

FRECKLES OP SOME OTHER SHAPE AND COLOR
Here's a puzzling queatlon tor girls
and boys tiie answer to it la as dif
ficult as trying to meet yourself com
ing or going back: Which would you
rather not have.
freckles or pimp-
lea?
To my eye, a
young person
with a collection
of pimples Is
quite as pleasing
as a young per-
son with a flock
of freckles. But
X know the laity
doesnt view the
matter through
my eye. So we'll
uttCT a few truth about pimples
here today tor the benefit of laymen
who harbor nasty notions about
such things.
A crop of pimples (which doctors
call acne) on the face of a boy or
girl has no more significance than
has a spattering of freckles on such
a face. People commonly smile at
freckles, or even think they are cute.
Not so If the young person happens
to have pimples Instead of freckkles.
People too commonly frown at
pimples. And in frowning they be
tray their own Ignorance or mean
ness. More or less blackheads and pim
ples must be considered physlollgl
cal, normal, for girls and boys in
their teens. Very few normal young
folk escape some annoyance of this
kind. The condition Is physiological
because at this time of life the
growth and development of the skin j
tends to proceed at even a faster pace
than the general growth and devel
opment. Consequently the skin glands,
the sebaceous or oil glands, become
overactive. Here and there the duct
or opening on the surface becomes
obstructed by the natural debris ex
foliated constantly from the skin
surface, and that causes a "black
head." The blackhead readily be
comes Infected by the common pus
producing germs (staphylococcus)
which are naturally present on every
skin, and that produces the typical
pimple.
- There Is little more than the mere
fancy of this or that doctor who pur
ports to be a skin specialist to sup
port the Idea that the diet of the boy
or girl has anything to do with acne.
Indeed, It Is likely thr restriction of
the oils or fats or rich foods In the
diet of such a youth only tends to
make matters worse, for such restric
tion may Incidentally cut down 'he
youth's vitamin ration, and an ade
quate vitamin ration is necessary to
overcome the Infection that produces
pimples. It Is silly to Imagine that
the eating of liberal amounts of fats,
oils, rich pastries, and sweets such
as sugar, candy, cakes, has any In
fluence on the quantity or character
of the sebum or skin oil secreted ny
the sebaceous glands. I think this
latter fancy Is what chiefly inspires
the old time skin specialists who
hand out freak diets for young per
sons with acne.
Th mAiinMt. niutieftt little notion
that ignorant laymen have abousjwlth these conditions, there Is hope
this physiological condition of youth
la that such skin "eruption" has
some significance of a moral or lm-
wortd'a gas ccmpsnles are worth to
day ten times what they were worth
when Edison enclosed a little fila
ment, to resist the passage of the
electrlo current, and became Incan

glass bulb. Realatance has been a
blessing to the world, supplying elec
trlo light through Edison's genius,
and the light of liberty, through the
resistance of courageous men.

It was a simple funeral service, that
Edison would have liked, and the
music, that only hla ears could not
hear, would have pleased him. There
waa classical music, by Beethoven and
by Wagner, Including the magnificent
"Evening Star" song from Tannhaus-
er, played by violin and piano.
Two other musicians, with old fash
ioned organ and a violin played Edi
son's favorites, "I'll Taks You Home
Again, Kathleen," and "The Little
Uray House In the West."
Arthur L. Walsh, who played those
songs once msds a violin record for
Edison seventeen years ago to be re

can do one thing well, can do other i

(L. B. O.)
Answer No more than tap water

ply aa unsafe to drink, it would
seem snobbish or foolish to buy
drinking water that purports to cure
anything.

What Is one to do when one Is
16 and has to go to bed at 9:00 p.
m. every night? Don't you think
this is too early during vacation,
especially since she can't get to sleep
until 10 or 10:30? (J. McL.)
Answer A girl of 16 needs nine
to 10 hours In the feathers every
night to keep her well, strong, beaut
iful and happy. If she gets up at
7:00 or earlier, nine o'clock Is the
right time for her to hit the feath
ers. If she gets up at eight or later,
then she may set bedtime that much
later.
A Little Persistence
I must thank you for your mono
graph on the constipation habit
which enabled me to overcome the
habit after many years of slavery to
physic and enema. Somehow your
elucidation of the physiological
truth inspires one's confidence to
proceed along natural lines. With
out such confidence I know I never
could have had the determination or
the will to win. It is wonderful to
know that one with such habit can
get back to normal again simply by
a little persistent effort on his or
her own part. AND the encourage
ment given by Dr. Brady. (J. C. D.)
Answer All the encouragement I
give Is to make you see what an
Idiot you've been all your life. Once
you get that fact through your thick
noodle, you take your mind off your
bowel, and nature or physiology re
sumes control. Anybody else want
to try to break the habit? If so,
don't send any clippings and don't
ask Impersonal questions. Just say
you have the constipation habit or
the physio habit, and you want to
break the habit. Don't ask for my
cure for anything, and don't ask
for treatment for any 111. We are

the change lay In nothing tangible.
The widow's manner bad altered.

She shook hands and apologized

I need your help."
"My help?" Sam was mildly sur

"Thank you." Tha widow nodded

"Business!" Sam sat up very
