Editorial Correspondence
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.
Another short bargain trip
on the S. P. not a pleasure
jaunt this time. Sixty-four pas
sengers on the Shasta nut of
Medford and a few more at
Ashland. Kosey who rode to
Ashland declared this number,
was less than the eent-a-mile
expectations. But 64 is better
than 4 these days of empty
coaches and Pullmans.
Speaking of Pullmans when
will the Pullman company tum
ble to the bargain day idea. For
our party of three the Pullman
fare is exactly twice the rail
road fare, which is hard to
swallow. As a result over half
the passengers were in the day
coaches.
They might try a bergsln day on
the (liners also.' For orange Juice the

We delivered a lecture to three rough

A MODERN MEDICAL MIRACLE
A New Tork correspondent writes
thst these articles are much enjoyed
by him and have brought benefit to
his family and
friends. Then he
deposes andsssys:
"Several years

S3 while doing
clerical work In
volving much tel

by nausea and violent vomiting. A
feeling of grogglness produoed an

to atagger through th street like
a drunken sailor not the leaat dis

of balance and frequent recurrence
of the vomiting, usually preceded by
Increased head noises snd a feverish
condition, made me miserable.

tially restore the hearing, but there
was no lasting benefit,
"Finally I placed myself in the
bands of Dr. , sn osteopathic

It Is Immaterial whether the phy
sician is osteopathic, homeopathic,
psychopathic or what have you.
Enough that he la a physician duly
licensed by the state. His pathy or
his pathetic pretenses need not con
cern us, further than to wonder why

quaint trick to appeal to the cred

when science will know how to lift

Thst will hsve to be done carefully,
to keep land and water balanced. The
desert perhaps could sop up enough
water to make the ocean fit Into
smaller holes. Fresh water, as the
sun raises it Into the clouds, could
be poured onto the deserts and farms
Instead of going back to the oceans.
There Is enough water in oceans, seas,
lakes snd rivers to cover the whole
earth on mil deep.
Press Comment
"What Fooli We Mortals Be."
James R. Bancroft, president of the
American Institute of Finance, Issues
a statement that la plain, pungent
and penetrating, which might be
given the caption of "The American
Boob." It contains so much good
sense that it may well be considered
by the American people, and quote
it in part:
"If the United States of A mer
les, want to see the end of de
pression, we had better stop be
ing a nation of boobs.
"There are steps to take which
cannot fall to Improve the situ
ation and every Intelligent stu
dent knows what they are. But,
Instead of taking these steps, we
abuse with epithet &nd calumny

'We pray for the end of de
depreMlon, and by acta of omis
sion and commission do almost
everything we can to prolong tt.
"That we haw become a nation
of boobs Is exemplified by our
attitude on domestic problems,
foreign problems, business, the
stock market, goverivnental ex
penditures, tarirre, taxation, pro
fa. ibt Ion and the war debts.
"It is time to gel rid of our
emotions and operate with a Ut

"We fuss and fiddle around

Ten or fifteen years sgo this pat-
lent could not have made such a
recovery without undergoing the haz
ard, a real hazard at that age, ot
surgical tonsillectomy.
Even today a good many regular
physlclsns and throat specialist
would offer such a patient no alter
native to the old Spanish custom.
This osteopsth deserves credit tor
his ability ss a physician, even If he
does adhere to the haUowed quack
ery of pretending to practice a nar
row uttle system. I'd ssy the same
thing If he purported to be a homeo
path, an eclectic, or an "allopath"
whatever that may be. All these
slleged "paths" are Just an appeal
to popular gullibility, to prejudice.
Fortunately a phyalclan may be a

tem of medical education which la

medical educational system is a com

It. and too much political graft.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Good Idea From Good Book
' One of your correspondents asked
If rocking a baby while nursing would
Interfere with the baby's breathing.
In a book called "Simplifying Moth
erhood" I read that the nursing
mother should take care the baby
aoes not snut off his Own wind by
pressing his nose tightly against the
breast. This book contains many
practical helps which I have found
Invaluable In the breast feeding of
my babies. I would be glad to loan
It to you if you wish to see It. (Mrs.
W. M. McC.)
Answer Thsnk you. It Is a fine
book, by Dr. Rlchardaon. Your pub
lic library probably has it. The tech
nic of nursing the baby is well worth
any mother's or prospective mother's
careful study. The breast fed baby
gains an advantage over the bottle
fed baby that lasts years or a life
time. Nearsighted
I am very nearsighted, have been
wearing very heavy lenses for fifteen
years. Recently I hsve heard there
are exercises which will strengthen
the eyes and enable one to discard
glsssas . . . (Miss S. F.)
Answer Well, there are no uch
exercises, except In the back psges of
snide magazines. ' The best exercise
for nearsighted eye is viewing dis
tant soenery. The wise young per
son with nearsightedness will wear
correct lenses for all near work. In
order to conserve the vision. Also
such young persons should have the
benefit of eye examlnatlona and fit
ting of glasses while the eyes are
under the resting or relaxing Influ
ence of drops.
"We hurl money to the winds
In profligate governmental ex
penditure and then we worry
about the credit of our govern
ment. "We take our money by the
hundreds of millions out of the
banks and then we damn the
bankera because they will not
lend. We bury our money In
hole or vault and then we won
der why business Isn't good. We
refuse to buy other men's goods
which we need and for which we
can pay, snd then we wonder
why he cannot buy ours.
"We buy securitleb of any and
evBry company that doea busi
ness in the glorious United
States, regardless of price, at the
top of a boom, and we sell them
all out In the throes of depres
sion. We find no price too high
to pay for stocks In 1929 and no
price too low to sell them short
In 1932. We enthusiastically
purchase securities at the height
of a boom for 23 to 50 times the
biggest earninga they have ever
shown, and we want no part of
the same securities when they
can be bought In many instsncea
for less than the government
bonds and gold dollars In their
treasuries.
"At the height of a boom we
see no more depressions, and at
the bottom of a depression we
see no more booms.
