DEPRESSION CUBE
(New Orleans States)
More than 140,000 New Orleans
bill-payers mall or bring person
ally their owings. Would It not
create Job for bill collectors il
people would withhold their bills
until the merchant or business
establishments send collectors to
their doorsteps?
The "ten outstanding news events"
of the year have been listed, and the
hallucinations of 1032, to the contrary
notwithstanding, not a one happened
within the confines of Jackson coun
ty. This is strange, for every time
somebody not caught in an Illegal
Jackpot, generally aiding and abetting
In hia own capture, one oi iwo cata
clysms always came to pass, viz:
"Shaking the county to Its founda
tions," or "history Is now in the mak
ing." Of late there has been no
phenomena, save "black clouds of dis
grace hanging over the county." The
leading conspiracy of the year, was
batched In Japan, the aim being to
assassinate the Mikado, as viciously
as if he was a local reputation. In a
valley where conspiracies travel in
packs, like Canadian wolves, one of
world importance snouia oe nawmea.
The coming year will produce a bevy
of conspiracies, that will eclipse the
murdering of the Mikado.
Judge Crews has a new set of teeth.
The Judge could not wait for the

THE NEW TEAR
Day aiter tomorrow a New Tear will
be on tap. This happens about once
every 365 days. Quite a few think
It Is on excuse to get drunk, and flit
over the highways and byways, until
they fall Into the hands of the state
police, or the coroner. Thus they
show their contempt for Hoover,
Taxes, and Fate.
The Old Tenr, now dying, hod the
usual ration of tears and smiles, but
more cussing and hating than really
necessary. Peoplo who havo checked
up on themselves, roport that the
happiest years were the years with
the minimum of civic cussing and
community hating. The Greeks had
a mythological character who was
consumed by the fires of his own
bete. The local hating Is all petty.
There is Just one cose of grand
hating, and he has not even had his
eyebrows singed by the fires of his
own hate.
The New Year will bo called 1033,
and will end before anybody makes
all the money they want. The price
of everything you buy will be too
high, and the price of everything you
sell will bo too low. Tills is unusual.
The dollar Is now worth $2. However,
If you owe a follow -hater $6, he still
wants 96 to call it square. Vice versa,
3 will suffice.
We wi-th everybody a Happy New
Year. It can be attained by acting
semt-human. We could wish every
body a Prosperous New Year, but It
would do no good. Nobody feels like
spending any money, and until they
do. Prosperity will stay in Its hideout.
By 1934, signs Indicate, it will be
genernlly realized that the way to
make money is to spend money.
There will never come a time when
there will be nothing to do but rake
it In, while the other fellow spends
it. Emo Molir, Sr., advocates "sing
and kill the depression." Some of

SAN FRANCISCO, December 28. Believe it or not the
"Good Ship Sedan" is on the loose again! It tr.kes more than
a depression to keep that old boat in dry dock when the doctor
calls! She ain't what she used to be WHAT 1ST
But she is good enough to bring us down here from Medford
in one day without missing a beat. Outside of a slight strepti-
coccus infection in the manifold, which makes her cough a bit
going up hill, she appears to be as good as ever. Perhaps
"appears" isn't the right word for she isn't much to look at.
Her youthful complexion has gone, her tires are somewhat the
worse for wear, ang one rear bumper is missing 'but she gets
there just the same. At least she did THIS TIME and here's
hoping she will the NEXT.
It took pome persuasion and hard work to get her to wear
chains. She doesn't realize six years for a car, is simila;: to 60
for a human being. She had often chugged over the Siskiyous
in winter without them, but just as well she had them on this
time. Her rear wheels wobbled a bit in the snow and slush at
that. Now she is safely in the garage and IS SHE PROUD 1
She wants her face lifted so she can go out to Golden Gate park
and hold up her head among the 1933 debutantes. Hate to
disappoint her but this is no year for vanity. That money is .
needed for gas and oil and does she eat up her gas and oil
particularly the oil. Had to give her three quarts at Dixon or
she would never have reached here. That's a sure sign of old
age, but why tell her and spoil her fun !

he wakes up ynu can know he is feeling pretty good" a bit of
philosophy to which no doubt the feminine world as a whole
would subscribe.

Editorial Comment
In Twenty-Five Years
Twenty-five yenrs' service by Major
General George White aa an officer
of the Oregon National Guard was
accorded distinguished honors In the
Portland armory last night.
Though not of the military by birth
or early training, General White in
only 25 yenrs holds the highest com
mand posslblo In poace time in the
army of tthe United States.
Since his appointment, In 1010, as
head of Oregon's military force, he
has twice taken the field In actual
war. A strict disciplinarian and with
a motto always to be In readiness,
General White hnd Oregon's Infantry,
cavalry and field artillery first In
motion when troops were called for
to go to tho .Mexican border in 1016.
Oregon's men were actually at the
front when the forces from other
states were apologizing for their non
rendlncss to take the field.
A well remembered and notable
eventuatton In the world war was
the fnct that Oregon's National
Guard was Vie first in motion and
first In tho field. Oregon was first
to mobilize its draft organizations.
Oregon was first over the top In
Liberty loon quotas. These were alk
events of which Oivtron folic iva-T- l
proud In those tremendous though
agonizing days when the republic
undertook a pnrt in the great war In
the hope nnd with a plan to '"end
war," a plan that Wodrow Wilson
Rave his life to make permanent, only
to encounter the opposition and con
slraclcs of politicians acting for po
litical purposes.
It was tho efficiency of Oregon's
citizen soldiery under his leadership
that caused Georgo White to be se
lected by the president of the Unit
ed States to command, the National
Guard of the northwest.
Ocnernl While has been twice
commended by tho Oregon legisla
ture. He wad decorated y the
rranch government for his service
In the world war.
Though a military commander of
nationally known efficiency and
spirit, General White, as his articles
In many magazines .have shown, Is
a pleader for world peace. In public
addresses he has characterized war
aa "Insanity." His career has re
flected credit upon his state, and
his work has brought honor to his
name. Oregon Journal,
A boll (furuncle) Is a household
size abscess produced when the com
mon germs of suppuration penetrate
through the hair
follicle, sweat or
sebaceous g 1 a nd
to the tissues
under the skin.
It isn't a boll if
It hasn't a "core"
that Is, the
small slough
which Is extend
ed when the boll
Is "ripe." The
"core" consists of
the hair follicle and perhaps the sweat
or sebaceous gland tissue which has
undergone coagulation necrosis.
We may as well acknowledge at the
beginning that no known antiseptic
or germicide short of complete de
struction of the Infected tissues by
cauterizing by heat or chemical, is
of the slightest value In the treat
ment of a boll, so far as the patient's
Immediate welfare goes. However.
mild antiseptic lotions, baths or dress.
lngs are advisable in every case to pre
vent spreading of the Infection to
other persons or to another place on
the patient's own skin. For this pur
pose i peueve ordinary soap and
water Is as effective as any remedy
we can use; or as an alternative, a
solution of a rounded teaspoon ful of
boric acid In a pint of boiled water,
If your purpose Is to nurse the boll
in order to get all the sympathy, time
off or compensation possible for it,
poultice It with a large meal poultice.
This moist heat gives considerable
comfort, and the warmth, darkness,
food and moisture provide Ideal con
ditions for the multiplication of the
pus-germs. With luck and persist
ence maybe you can grow two or
several bolls where only the one grew
before. Or If you do not succeed in
your mlcroblculture you will prob
ably have the satisfaction of seeing
someone who associates with you laid
low by some serious infection.
The comfort one derives from a
poultice Is quite as readily obtained
from a' clean, antiseptic dressing of
many crumpled yards of washed
cheese cloth (gauze) held In place
wren a osndage and kept constantly
moistened with hot soap and water
or boric acid solution. If the boil
has not yet opened, or if drainage
has not yet been established, tt is a
good plan to include with the round
ed teaspoonful of boric acid two
rounded teaspoonfuls of common salt
in each pint of boiled water used to
wet the dressing. If complete Im
mersion of the boll and dressing is
convenient, a prolonged hot soaking
in such solution Is excellent treat
ment, .
One with a pustule which looks or
feels like a young boll should care
fully avoid touching the spot with
bare fingers. If the fingers do come
in contact with a pustule, it is Im
portant to wash th hds thoroughly
with soap and water at once, lest some
virulent pus-germs be carried on the
fingers and planted elsewhere on
one's own skin or the skin of an
other, perhaps to produce another bolj
or far more serious septic Infection.
The same precaution should be fol
lowed In handling or disposing of
dressings, or clothing that has been
In contact with the boll. As the
germs enter the hair follicle from the
surface of the skin In the first place,
It Is logical to assume they are pres
ent on the skin over the sore spot
before the boll breaks or Is opened.
Whether or when to open a boil or
let It run its course Is as difficult a
question as is the question whether
or when to bet the pot or fold In a
game of red dog. You's your own
Judge about the latter. We'll con
sider the former in another talk.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Spinal Fluid Test.
Nerve specialist says I should have
a sample of my spinal fluid tested.
Would this be very painful to have
done? Why should it be necessary,
and are there any ill effects after
wards? Mrs. A. M.
Answer It Is as painful as having
a tooth filled. It is essential for the
positive diagnosis of some otherwise
obscure diseases of the nervous sys
tem. Sometimes the patient has con
siderable headache after spinal punc
ture, but usually there are no un
pleasant after-effects.
A Burn's a Burn,
Please advise what, if anything, can
be done for a burn from too strong
lysol solution applied on a pimple on
the forehead. Will the discoloration
be permanent? Miss M. E.
Answer If the skin was not blis
tered or burned away there should
be no permanent mark. The best
remedy Is a strictly let-alone policy,
applying powder or cosmetic paint to
conceal the blemish till healing is
completed.
Fat Discrimination.
I have gallbladder trouble and have
been told to use very little fat, but
to use olive oil Instead. Will corn
oil take the place of olive oil, or is
It too considered a fat? Mrs. M. J.
Answer I know of no reason why
any of the fats or oils you mention
should be preferable to the fats In
meat, egg yolk, cream, etc. Any fat
or oil In the diet tends to cause con
traction of gall-bladder and drain
age; but these fats and oils contain
cholesterol, which enters into the
formation of most gallstones, and
hence physicians sometimes advise
the omission of such foods, i
