Hunt, the film impresario of Rabg was here the 1st of the week. He Is as Jolly as ever, and a little fatter. 1033 autoe continue to roll around the hghwys and byways, and for the moat part are driven by citizens, who but yeaterday were despondent over the economic situation, and the black outlook for the future. aitiwBh.moda will be 9 yean old Tues., and feels as young aa he ever did. He says youth Is about the same aa It was when he was a boy. Cows are about a oent below the average price, and there should be faint smile around the corners or hw stockmen's mouths, but there Is not. Oold, Instead of lawyers and hu manity la. general, is being panned. Del Oetohell has a new ohapeau (hat to you). GalshevlklB are coming out In their new spring coats, which have 3 but tons, modified mutton-leg sleeves and are knee length. The hem flounce Is emphasleed. Tom Johnlln has shingled his place to go when It rains. " m r James Bates, the tonsorlallst, has been kept out of sight the past wk. with something on his upper Hp, and suffice be it to say It la not a freak mustache. - Hobnob Deuel and O. Robinson, fuellsts, are getting ready to move Into their new woodshed on the Main Stem. They have put up screen doors already, which Is taking the germ totlng house files by the horns, Lovers of the out-of-doors can hardly hold themselves, and want to to climb hills and breathe the brac ing air, after It has sifted through the towering firs and pines. People have started guessing they can tell a mushroom from a toad stool, and to data nobody has guessed wrong. A lover of mushroom Is called an epicure until he makes an error. Yesterday was All Fooled Day. Some were, and some were just normal, and owing to the depression, some hoarded the last time they wers fooled and gloried In It. Many of this type are convalescing. It looks like the Democratic party was going to adjust a few unimport ant things like work, money, business, farms, banks, railroads, peace, and foreign affairs, before It designates a new postmaster for Medford, Ash land, Beagle, Hitch and Told. Who can remember when boys shin ned up a tree, and stayed there, and the intelligent voters came In droves to behold the wonder. The CofO. Is In hot pursuit of Money, Manpower and Momentum. For 8 years the county adored Mush, Mud and Monkeyshtnes. Wild flowers have started to bloom on the heathers. A few will be white, and a few will be yellow, as the pre dominating color scheme, and will be a welcome change. t t The bowling season Is over, and downs never knew it started.

It Is maliciously reported ht will come by train. The Beer Problem FT TOOK a world war to make this country dry. It bag taken a world depression- an economic and industrial war, to make it wet, at least wet to the extent of 3.2 beer. The prohibition law was not the product of dry psychology, but of war psychology. The return of beer is not the product of wet psychology, but of depression psychology. In facing the problem which the return of beer presents, we feel these two facts should be kept clearly in mind. IT WAS because the radical Drys forgot the first fact, and went to such extremes, there was such a popular reaction against prohibition. Now if the radical "Wets forget the second fact, and go to similar extremes, there will be a popular reaction against the re turn of beer, and the repeal of the 18th amendment will be de layd for a generation, perhaps for all time. The radical Wets should understand that the popular en dorsement of beer does not proceed from a desire for a drink, but from a desire to do everything and anything to improve business and end the depression. If they fail to do this, take this beer sanotion as a carte blanche to pull down the bars, and go the limit flood the coun tryside not only with legal but illegal beer, and proceed to make the 18th amendment a farce and a mockery, even to the point of a return of the old saloon, then not only will the economic bene fits of beer be lost; but the cause of genuine prohibition reform the promotion of real temperance, will be lost. AS IN ALL public problems, the ultimate determining factor, will be public opinion. Our advice, therefore, to those who really have the welfare of this country at heart, and believe a better solution of the liquor problem than absolute prohibition, can and should be realized, is this : GO SLOW. 3.2 beer has been legalized. All right. Sup port the law as it has been modified. Oppose any violation or any abuse of that law. Put the force of public opinion behind 3.2 beer; and refuse to withdraw the support of publio opinion from the 18th amendment UNTIL THAT AMENDMENT HAS EITHER BEEN MODIFIED OB In this way the legalizing of a stimulant to business betterment, but it can serve as an import ant step toward securing a better, more satisfactory in fact, a more "moral" solution of the entire liquor problem. Do Unto IB1 THE EARTH, so solid under our feet, should suddenly be come fluid, sputter and boil, shaking down buildings, start ing fires, killing men and women and children, the people of Medford would face a problem, In their extremity they would holp. That would be immediately forthcoming. The American Red Cross would have its- forces 24 hours. Where would the money necessary to finance this work come fromt From the many Red Cross chapters throughout the country. An appoal would be sent to each of them, to subscribe a certain fixed quota. Helping victims of major disasters is one of the chief duties of this organization. DUT let us assume that the people of Medford in such a tragic situation should hear that some Red Cross chapter in say California refused to do its part in this work of relief and re What would local people think of such a chapter, or of a community that was so callous of a neighboring oityt To express it mildly we would a strange plaoe, indeed. W'ELL, there was such an earthquake in Long Beach, Cali fornia recently, the Red Cross stepped in immediately, and the Medford Red Cross waa asked to contribute its quota, a comparatively small sum, $180. To date, however, only $55 scarcely carrying out either the we know to be the true spirit ened community. Local disturbances have no sure this suggestion will be sufficient to convince those with a fow dollars to spare to do their bit, and thus allow Medford to do its part; $1.25 from 100 people would do the trick. Donations can be sent to local Red Cross headquarters. Just Think rID you vat happen to think of this f t For ten or fifteen years, Judge Fehl in .his Record Herald, has been making criminal charges against various publio of ficials in Medford and Jackson county. YThen he wanted to be Mayor officials. "When he wanted to against COUNTY officials. We repeat these charges were either utterly groundless, unwary voting flies or they were the proper basis for criminal action. VfET in all this time, year after year, not ONCE has Judge Fehl ever brought eriminal action against a single official he has accused of committing crimes! Not once has he supported his charges by presenting evidence before any grand jury, or bringing any of his victims into court. Now we ask you, particularly ing feeling that where there has have been some fire, that Fehl must have had evidence to sup port his charges or he never would have made them Do you think if Fehl had HAD such evidence, if his accusa tions of graft crookedness, skullduggery and robbery, had been true or half true or ANYTHING BUT ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY FALSE, he would never have brought one of them before a grand jury, MADE NO EFFORT in all these years to place one single official he accused behind the bars, where he belonged. THINK IT OVER, MR. CITIZEN. THINK IT OVER! Can you imagine Y0UR$ELFt convinced a man is a crook, thief or & murderer letting that REPEALED. beer can not only be utilized as Others too great for them to solve. look to the outside world for of rescue and assistance here in and indifferent to the suffering think such action "peculiar" has been subscribed. This is Golden Rule, or expressing what of this progressive and enlight doubt been responsible. We feel It Over he made them against CITT be county judge he made them were CRIMINAL charges they mere political molasses to catch if you who still have a sneak been so much smoke there must man continue in publio office, and doing nothing but talk about it, never raising your hand to bring that man to justice, in the regular, legal way! Of course you can't. Neither can anyone else.

YOUR INSU A young physician with all the fancy trimmings our highbrow system demends in the physician today, hav ing engaged In private practice less than two years, protests that I am too fond of boosting specialists and men of estab lished prominen ce and that evi dently I have for te o t t n the younger and comp aratlvely unknown man who I trying to exist If not live in keen competition with all the clinics, and so on. If X say anything at all compli mentary about specialists and clinics and so on. it Is In ad vert ant, I assure you I Invite the young physician to keep tabs and when he catches me at any such trick to point out the specif lo offense, and we'll see what can de done to square things. In cidentally I may say that the special ists and men of established promi nence do not hesitate to let ma know what they are doing; I fear the young phys:clans are the hoity-toity ones. Perhaps the young men are more In awe of the principles of medical eth ics than the hardened old warriors. When I say "young" or "old" dlc tor I do not think of the man's age. but of his progresslvencss. The insul in treatment to enable the under weight Individual to gain weight and vigor, affords an instance. While tills Is nuw becoming generally recognized as a valuable, method, when I first ad voca ted It he ro a fow y c ara ago (of course I didn't discover the idea; I Just discovered that some good physicians were using the method with highly satisfactory results, and Z thought it fair to let the public kno about it) the reaction of physicians to Inquiries of patients was typical. Die old men (not a few young In years) arbitrarily asserted that, it Isn't done or that It is not safe. The young men (many with long years of experience) were either fa miliar with the method by reason of their constant endeavor to keep abreast of the march of medicine. or they promptly took steps to learn what little the physician requires to know about It and gave their patients the benefit of the new knowledge. An oastern physician has Just .pub lished his studies of the effect of In sulin In thin persons. The standard dosage was ten units subvutnneous ly thtee times a day, some more and somr less, and the patients had a lib eral diet. The patients gained weight Immediately, the gain being less mftrked .is the weight approached normal. In many cases the weight continues to increase for weeks or months after the Insulin Is dlscon-l THEY RENOUNCE G. G. C.

' tlnued; in nearly all the gain Is held afte.- the Insulin Is stopped; occas ionally a patient loses part of the gain after the insulin Is stopped The gain averages three or four pounds a week, for from one to twelve weeks. Mst patients have a marked im provement in the sense of well being soon after the treatment la started They feel like new persons. Appetite of course Is Increased. They become moro cheerful and Jolly in disposi tion Of course. That goes with the fat, what? They are certainly strong er and have more life In them. The treatment Is truly tonle and for this reason It Is being used as a valuable adjuvant method In some cases of tuberculosis. Or.ce more I say -"Hey. Sklnnay, you should start your insulin treat ment today and don't let any old fogy keep you from Joining the ranks of the well nourished." QUKRTIONR AND ANSWERS Bedtime Is Bedtime Pi lends are criticizing us severely and sometimes becoming quite angry with us because we are so strict about our 3ft year old son's bedtime, never late-.- than 6:30, ordinarily around 6 p. nr. . . . (I. R. C) Ar.wer Friends? Tou flatter them. Po.- son's sake stick to the regular bedtime. It Is a fine assurance against neurottefsm. ' Germs and Tobacco rv. disease germs live in or on to bacco? Is there any danger of con tracting disease by chewing or smok ing' (J. E. S.) Answer No. At least there seems to be no reason to imagine disease Is to so spread. Once I had a patient who was a cigar maker by trade. On the bnll of his thumb he had a syphi litic ulcer. But he was in the third stage of the disease and there was no harm done. Vitamin A and Ryes Following a suggestion in your column I have been taking cod liver oil, and I find that it helps my eyes, Do '(getaables of any kind help this dryness of the eyes? (Miss B. H. M. Virginia.) Aiswer A deficiency of Vitamin A stunts growth, causes leanness, sore dry eyes, and prevents the develop ment of full immunity against -In fections, particularly cri. Cod liver oil Is rich In Vitamin A. as well as VI tainli. D (which prevents rickets.) Other good sources of Vitamin A are RAW (not pasteurized or sterilized or holled) milk, cream butter, egg yolk. Raw carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce and bananas and oranges are good sources. Excessive boiling or cooking injures or restroys Vitamin A, but yellow corn, liver, kidneys, par3ji!ps. yellow squash, purqpkln sweft potato, yam, and green peas contain some Vitamin A.

LACK OF QUORUM Rsstal property owners conducted another meeting Friday aiternoon In the courthouse auditorium, but due to the attendance not exceeding forty, it was decided no definite action, to ward sputtlng the rent! buslnes back on an established "business bas is" could be taken until a more rep resentative group be In attendance. It was pointed out that nearly 200 property owners should be at these meetings. It was decided by the group to re quest of the county court use of the auditorium each Thursday evening, and sn attempt would then be made to gain a larger attendance. , - GAorge Iverson, one of the promi nent workers, stated that there Is a mistaken idea among the people that the rental owners are trying to make the county pay the rent. He said that the teal fact Is that he rental own ers ate Tying to get back to a busi ness basis and that they find num erous tenants unable to pay their rents. Mr. Iverson said that rental owners axe asking that some machine ry be set up whereby these people might be accommodated.

The big city banks, on the other hand, DO have these securities in their possession. Having them in their possession already. It becomes profitable for them to get postal savings money. So the money that Is drained out of the smaller com munities finds Its way into the big cities, where It becomes a basis for bank credit. GOVERNMENT guarantee of de posits would make every bank, as good as Vie postal savings bank. Thus this drain from the smaller cities to the larger ones would be stopped. This benefit would be in addition to the Increase In confidence that would be brought about. Aice OUn Deardorf announce, new low price at Wtnell'id'a Beauty Shop, Hot: Medford. Tt. 61.
