I. tha rtnw thftt beer flOWOtb legally, but the quenching of the alleged thirst of the populace will not be as extensive, as planned, be cause of a lacfc of supply- It will be some time before the growler can be rushed with old-time gusto. There seems to be considerable doubt, as to the plfflicatlng powers of the 8.2 per cent brew. Be that as It may, the great desire for -beer may cause some of ihe more playful to imagine they are and play drunk. The longing for a gltias of beer has been Intense. Not a soul has expressed the opinion life would not be worth living unless he could chew a pretzel the Im mortal associate of beer. Everybody Is busy spading gardens, and great enthusiasm Is shown by one and all In the task of overturn ing the warm earth. Some of the enthusiasm should be set aside for the hoeing of the hot earth later. DOUBT AND VILLI AN8. (Agony Column) Dear Mary: I went to a dancing party last night at the home of a rather too gay young widow. There were several out of town men there and I think that someone must have put a little something Into our fruit punch. I dont remem ber very weal about the last part of the party, but I drank quite ft 'few glosses of the punch and I think it was pretty late when one of the men brought me home in his car. Dear Plain Mary, did 1 do wrong? DEBUTANTE. Next year's false teeth, we read, nay be made of chromium steel. This sort of technological improvement may be expected to put the nuV cracker factory permanently out of business. (Detroit News) Several owners of store teeth report that the first three years they feel like a pair of horseshoes, and It is expected ebronlum steel will change this. It would be Interesting to note the passionate rush for ham and eggs, If prohibited for ,14 years. Nobody has yet expressed a threat to tear a door off a refreshment parlor, to again munch a pretzel. . a The weather continues pleasant, and, In spite of all they can do to prevent it, many of the leading haters, In tha late Qreat Agony, are getting that way, too. Recovery In a number of oases is slow and pain ful, but a few more days scowling , and pouting will find them redeemed. This may be due to the lack of a boss hater. Quite a number who for months thought everybody's hand but their own, was In their pocket, have begun to gently realize that perhaps they were lied to, in wholesale lots. There has also been a decline In bulging pistol pockets, and ladles no longer demurely advise political foes of the opposite sex "to go to hell." Borne of the country areas still hear taller tales, than any told in towns, but the Imaginations are not working overtime. It Is getting so malicious gossip will not be given credence even by the party who started It. a The C. E. welner roast was well at tended and was a hug success." (Paisley Items) Wherein youth reaches out for romance. Most of the dogs spent last night barking at the raoon. and made the welkin ring with their baying Ac cording to the Older Girls, the dogs spend their days scratching up ge raniums and radishes. The dogs were demanding that the moon resign. Two 4ds demonstrated anew that It Is a small world. Both wero so aged the smash improved their looks, and general health. MILWAUKEE. April 7. (AP) The Milwaukee Journal, crammed with ad vertisements of breweries and silled Industries, today published the largest regular dally paper printed here since September 10, 1030. The 68 pages ap peared in four sections. There were 876 columns 113,654 lines of paid advertising. 4- Pender and body repairing Prices right. Brill Sheet Metal Worts, A Good Appointment T'lIB appointment of Walter Olmscheid aB temporary sheriff, A will undoubtedly meet with general approval. Mr. Olmscheid is a popular young man and a capable one. The fact that he was not an active candidate for the position, that in a sense the appointment sought him instead of he the appointment removes it from the realm of local politics which is all to the good. The temporary sheriff, moreover, while an active Legion naire, and always affiliated with the forces of good citizenship, has not been conspicuously involved with either faction, in the recent deplorable turmoil, and therefore assumes office with no factional prejudice to overcome, or resentments o live down. The 90 days during which he will hold office, promise to be important ones in the history of Medford and Jackson county. At the end of that period, the local situation SHOULD be defin itely cleared up, and the community prepared to go full steam ahead, on progressive and constructive lines. The matter of filling the position permanently, can well be left until that time. The Insanity Plea I AST Thanksgiving Day one Marceleno Julian, Filipino, went " on a rampage in Seattle, with a bolo knife, and when he got through, six persons were dead, and 13 wounded. Now on trial for his life, Marceleno we learn, is crazy. It seems be was'a victim of jungle fever, which put a wild glint in his eye, and he suffered several spinal punctures when he contracted moningitis. ' His attorneys don't want him to hang. They want him sent to a nice quiet insane asylum. Now that is OK with us an insane asylum, provided his insanity can be established BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. Bight or wrong this paper has always opposed capital punishment We lust for no man's blood. But we want that sentence to the insane asylum FOR LIFE, NOT for a few years, until the horrible, killings have been for gotten, and then a sudden return to sanity, as was the case with the notorious Harry Thaw. IN FACT we believe this whole business of insanity as a mur Anv Hfrfnnfla Rrinnlfl lift rnvnmrinrl nnrl rflviflfld. Laws should be made for protection of society. A killer more dangerous to society than either rationally or in the heat of passion. . There can be some protection against the latter, but none whatever against the former. .The murderer who is unbalanced mentally, should be placed where he can kill no more in the asylum for the criminally insane for life. ' With such a law there would be fewer insanity pleas for those who are perfectly sane, but have no other defense. A Good Example ' ARS. FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT sets a good examplo re garding the matter of legalized beer. She happens to be a tcototaler herself. But she will sanction the serving of beer at the Whito House, and refuse to sanction the serving of anything stronger. .. In her recent statement, she urged the peoplo of the country to uphold the 18th amendment as long as it is a part of the organio law, and to do everything in their power to prevent an abuse of the beer privilege recently granted. ' I 'HiS is good sense and sound statesmanship.' The people of the country should adopt a similar attitude toward the liquor problem. Public opinion should be particularly firm, against those who are seeking to take advantage of this beer privilege, to flood the country with strong drink, and cash in on an orgy of intemperance and licentiousness. Unless the American people-as a whole show that they can prevent abuse of legalized beer, there will be little disposition to grant them greater privileges in the matter of intoxicants, and the cause of true temperance as well as of genuine reform, will be swallowed up in a general and overwhelming reaction. The Folly of Race Prejudice rviCTATOR HITLER tries to justify his persecution of the U Jows, by pointing out that the United States first recog nized the differene values of races, and for generations has ex cluded the yellow races from American citizenship. To the present writer, however, there seems to be a great difference between excluding races from entering a country, and depriving the members of one race, of their property and civil rights, WITHIN a country. There would be no quarrel with Hitler if he wished to ex elude Jews from entering Germany. But he is persecuting and donyiug fundamental rights to German citizens, who h,appen to have Jewish blood in their veins. This is morally wrong, and in our judgment can only lead to disaster for the German nation. The action has already cost Germany a large share of that international goodwill, which she had started to regain, following the world war. "NE need hardly dilate upon the contributions to German greatness made by members of the Jewish .race, in the past, particularly in the realm of statesmanship, the arts, and the sciences. Nor is there any evidence that the members of the Jewish race, refused to accept their share in the sacrifice of blood and treasure during the world war. In our judgment you can't indict a race any more than a nation. Certain national Bnd racial prejudices are unavoidable. That the super-nationalism which Hitler has aroused should be antagonized by Jewish insularity, could scarcely be avoided. But to allow this antagonism to determine a national policy, to encourage it, to. stimulate it, and seek to profit politically from it, appears to us, not only wrong, but inexcusably stupid. If the policy is persisted in, we predict it will prove as dis astrous for the German nation, in peace, as the submarine policy of Von Tirpit was in the world war. one fundamental purpose the uncontrolled by reason, is far a killer who is sane, who slays Personal Health Service By William Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to dlsesse. diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped, self addressed envelope is enclosed.

I believe moderate or temperate indul gence Is quite harmless in most cases. It Is only when bathing is carried to excess that It becomes harmful to health. Of course a great many persons who hap pen to have Old skins are more comfortable, and hence on the whole more healthy, if. they eschew the wet wash, for no matter whether it be hot or cold water, they only bathe to Itch. But I want you to understand pre cisely where I stand so that when the propaganda director of the Beau tiful Bath institute gets to work on you, the old "sanitary" bunk won't make any serious dent in your pock etbook. The frequency with which a, per son bathes has nothing whatever to do with his susceptibility to or his Immunity against any known disease. If any alleged health authority seems to hold a different opinion about this, Just ask him to name the mal ady which bathing prevents. Then we'll have some fun with him. I am unalterably opposed to all bathtubs exqyt the minute fraction of one per cent of them owned and controlled by - Individuals as non transferable equipment. No getting around a bathtub ... It is not a clean.y thing to use if somebody else has used it before you,' not even if the last user has taken pains to leave no high tide mark or other data for you to ponder as you soak. : A shower bath Is unobjectionable. I doubt if anybody ever catches even j athlete s foot In a shower bath. though there is a fair chance to pick up the trlcophytoals fungus going and 1 coming from the shower, if you don't , wear your own Individual suppers. In my Judgment entirely too much ! emphasis has been placed on the rite j of bathing and too little on the duty of washing the hands. Bathing has practically nothing to do with health. Washing the hands has a great deal to do with health. No license or permit to sell food or drink to be consumed on the prem ises should be granted by the city unless .the place Is equipped with adequate facilities for the patrons to wash their hands before taking the food or drink. Too many such es tablishments are tolerated In towns Communications Quit! G a. c. To th Editor: I wish to publicly announce my withdrawal from the Good Govern ment Congress. O. M.

CHICKS N r is (.CHICKS w Brady, M.D. and cities where the lavatory facil ities, if any, are nothing but a nuis ance as nuisance is defined In the sanitary law. We should give less thought, time and money to compelling children to brush their teeth and more to teach ing them to wash their hands before partaking of food. No child should be permitted to come to table straight from his play or from school without having washed his hands with soap and water. Never mind whether he has combed his hair. Just see that he comes with clean hands. Soap and water is the best anti septic cleanser for the hands, in any circumstance. Even where surgical cleanliness is the purpose, soap and water Is preferable to all other agents. If we are concerned with health, and not Just with esthetics, let us have less bathing and more washing of hands. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hydrophobia-Phobia. Yesterday my nine-year-old son was bitten by dog. The skin was broken and I applied" merurochrome. Should I have' taken him to a doctor? In the event that the dog should ever go mad would my son be affected? would it be too late to have the bite burned out now? Mrs, L. H. M. Answer You did all I'd do If It were my son. Unless the animal has rabies at the time of the attack, th person bitten has nothing to worry about. I think an immediate appli cation of lodln (or even meruro chrome) to a dog bite Is sufficient protection against any contingency in any caset The cauterizing of such an injury Is, in my opinion, bar barism and nothing more. Ben-are the Spray. Last spring my seven-year-old son came home from school one day and said, "Mother, a boy coughed in my face, and he is home now with whooping cough . The inevitable happened Robert came down with the disease and so did his younger brother. So please do what you can to make people understand the Im portance of covering sneezes and coughs with handkerchief or hand . . Mrs. M. A. Answer If I could conscientiously hand out the conventional advice about sneeze and cough spray it might be done, but I have to warn against polite conversational syray at the same time, for I believe that Is the chief mode of Infection, and peo ple generally resent being told that any auch hazard exists. The only difference between an uncovered cough and polite conversation spray is that the spray of the latter does not carry so far. rowa looo bushels of wheat wUl Jia,ve to PAY BACK only 10,00 bushela of wheat.

First of all we can not afford to handicap our children by false econ omy. It is well to ponder over this vital point. It is not enough to merely feed and clothe our children. Recognition of the qualifications nec essary to become a useful and desir able citizen is of great importance and should be the ideal of all par ents today. The Inquiring mind of the child must be fed with wholesome adequate information. Modernism In education Is the re sult of untiring efforts of the edu cators of today. We find universities blending cultural Ideas of the past with our present day need. Future progress can not be secure, however, until the creative ability of our children are more fully appreci ated. Every effort should be made to eliminate the suffering caused by in ferior educational training. MRS. L. A.
