The Oregon branch of the National letter Carriers' association 1 also being held In conjunction with the other convention, and R. A. Newland and O. O. Sanden are delegate from here. The loral delegates, through the cooperation of the Medford chamber of commerce, are requesting the 1934 eouwutiorj In JMeUiojiJ, Great Opportunity for Medford RANTS Pa, Rosfbnrg and aeveral cities on the Willam ette, have applied for government aid in constructing sewage disposal plants. This aid will undoubtedly be granted. It will mean improved community health, both the beautifica Hon and sanitation of surrounding streams therefore better fishing and added payroll during construction and conse quently relief for the unemployed. fXS July 28th, the people of Medford will decide by their votes, whether or not, this city is to secure a similar benefit That Medford needs an adequate sewage disposal plant, MORE ACUTELY, than Grants Pass and the other Oregon cities applying for them, there is no DOUBT. Sewage conditions here are so bad, that in the past typhoid epidemics have been suffered, may at any time return, and the city has lost several damage suits to nearby ranchers along Bear Creek, who have suffered from sewage disposal conditions. Local officials have long realized this, so have all well in formed citizens but until recently there appeared no pros pect of securing such a needed public improvement without a bond issue, adding to the city indebtedness and increasing the burden on the tax payers, something it was generally conceded COULD NOT BE DONE, under existing business and financial conditions. DUT with the recent passage of the National Recovery Act, this insurmountable obstacle has been removed. Believe it or not, this relief measure, makes it possible for the people of Medford to secure a new sewage disposal plant, "WITH OUT COST TO THE TAXPAYERS." We know the doubts that will be aroused by this paign slogan. But these doubts are not justified. The state ment is literally true. It's this way: The new project will cost $100,000. The government, if Medford 's application is accepted, will present $30,000 as a gift cash money The remaining $70,000 will be secured by Medford bonds, over more than four percent interest (anyone familiar with the present bond market and the bonds at the present time, will city, this would be !) That $70,000, of course, must ment, at the end of 30 years. But, under the financial ar rangement affected by the city, this CAN be done without ADDED cost to the taxpayers. COR this refunding, will be assumed by the present municl 1 nal wnfpr flnnnrl.mflnt ThA to the consumer is more than of the water system, and its without any increase in rates, the and paid off, by taking 15 cents per month from this water charge, and devoting the proceeds to providing for sewer bond interest and retirement. In other words, with the city tax situation UNCHANGED: with- water rates UNCHANGED ; a new $100,000 sewage dis posal plant can be constructed, a $30,000 gift received from the government, a real menace Jo oommunity health removed, further damage suits eliminated, and needed work given the unemployed, during the fall and early winter period, when it will be most needed. "TRUE, a reduction in water rates will be impossible, but the present rate haa not worked any noticeable hardship upon the consumers. In fact paying only $2.50 per month for practically an unlimited supply of the purest and finest water in the state, is dirt cheap. For a similar supply; Los Angeles would pay ten times that amount, without a murmur. QO there Is the proposition the people of Medford will be called upon to settle three weeks hence, with their votes. We can't understand why any citizen, UNDERSTANDING the situation, should vote against it. It's like getting money from home. It is securing a necessary public improvement, which eventually must be constructed, RIGHT NOW, delivered to this community by Uncle Sam op a silver platter. Meanwhile to those who don't understand it, or who think there must be a nigger In the woodpile SOMEWHERE our advice is for them to consult with the mayor, the city engineer, or members of the city council. It would also be wise to con tact B. E. Harder, A. W. Pipes or Hamilton Patton, the three members of the Chamber of Commerce committee which per fected the plan and endorsed it. These men are all well known and are thoroughly familiar with every phase of this proposition and the city's financial condition. The measure should on July 28th receive the overwhelming approval of the people of Medford.

Letters should be brief and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letter received only few can be answered here. No reply can b made to qoerlea not conforming to In structlons. Address Dr. William Brady, lit Bl Camlno, Beverly Hills, Cat WHAT, A SPOON The body of ft healthy adult con tain 3 train (a llttlt leu than one tenth of an ounce) of Iron. That la tba weight of a cent (48 grain) . P h y a 1 o 1 o g lata estimate that the body requtrea only one-fourth of a grain (15 milligram) o f Iron dally, and thla quantity la present In any one of the fol lowing Items of food: Six and one half ounce of egg yolk. Ten ounces of wheat, entire grain. Three pounds two ounces of white flour. Nine ounces dried peaa. Thirteen ounces of lean beef. Fourteen ounces of oatmeal. Seven ouncea dried beans. One pound dried prunes. One and one-half pound of pea nut. Fifteen pounda of oranges. Eleven pounds of apples. Five and one-half pounds of ban ana. Five and one-half pounda of car rot. Two and one-half pounds of cheese. Six quarts of milk. Seven ounces of liver. Besides the foods mentioned. Items comparatively rich In Iron are wheat bran, old fashioned molaanes, oysters, spinach, cocoa, maple syrup, dates, dandelions, lettuce. Items compara tively poor In Iron are asparagus, po tatoes, raisins, grapes, cabbage. Note that milk is a poor source of Iron. This Is an additional reason for adding such protective foods as ba nana, spinach, egg-yolk to the diet of infants or invalids. Apples are reputed to keep tbe doc tor away. So far as Iron Is concern ed, weight for weight onions will keep him twice aa far away, no mat ter whether you like your onions raw or cooked. Z don't know how much Iron there Is In garlic and I don't care. Judging by the ttrength of the aroma. I should say a teaspoonful In each slice. Altho the total quantity of Iron In the body Is scarcely a teaspoonful, It Is not unusual for physicians to pre scribe that much Iron for a single day. The reason the doctor gives at each dose more Iron than a patient can assimilate In a month la that ex perience has taught physicians this la necessary. We are not at all sure I that any of the Iron administered as medicine la absorbed or utilized by the body; It serves to protect the food Iron from waste, perhaps by 1 absorbing the hydrogen sulphide of the Intestine. Oar newer knowledge of metab olism makes It evident that the old , agencies to be brought Into the cen tral organization, will be abolished. The centralisation will make the or ganization 30 times the size of the present park service. Speaking of the reforestation work now being carried on by the Civic Conservation Corps, Mr. Cammerrer praised with apparent enthusiasm and sincerity, the work of the United States army. A number of the offic ers from the local corps were present and Introduced. Then the speaker opened his address with commenda tion of their activities. T come in contact with the army In many ways." he declared, and I have become pleasantly surprised end enthusiastic In my approval of the way they are handling the reforesta tion program. Their administration of the work and association with the boys will stimulate a patriotism and love of country, which cant be gain ed any other way. Turning to the National Recovery act. Mr. Commerrer atated, that the parks expect to come In for heavy appropriations and that Crater Lake will fare well under the program. "The national parks are still, and always will be, the headline rs In tour ist travel,' he told his audience, add ing another optimistic not to his ad dress. "We are constantly reminded of the Importance of national parks In the large amount of lands turned over to the government with requests for formation of national parka. we have a secretary of the Inter ior, who ta sincerely Intereeted in the park service. And our hearts and efforts behind Crater Lake National park will never be diminished but over In the fore ground." the speaker declared in closing. Following . hla Introduction by Oeorge Henselman, presiding chair man, Mr. Cammerrer recalled his first visit to Medford lu 1931. when he was initiated Into th Crater's. He ask ed all present ty remember him by his initiation tame, "Cam." Others sitting at the speaker's table yesterday were K. C. Soltruky. sup erintendent of the Crater Lake Na tional park: IX 6.

J FUL OF IBONf fashioned Inorganic Iron medicines are superior to tha mora expensive modern organic Iron medicines. One of tha best forma of Iron for medicinal use la reduced Iron. This la almost pure Iron. It la best taken In capsules, each containing a gram f about 15 grains). The anemic pa tient should take from three to six such capsules dally. That would amount to aa much or more Iron aa there la In the body of a healthy adult. Of course Iron, to be of any value as medicine, blackens the dejecta, But It la not 'constipating,"' nor does It Injure the teeth, tbo'lt may stain after a time, the stain being easily washed off. Zf any one la going to take Iron medicinally, he should take It, and no fiddle-faddling with nostrums containing Insignificant quantities of Iron. QUESTIONS AND AN Drink to Me Only With Thy Lips While playing tennle to reduce a young medical student advised me not to drink water. He says the fat cells perspire, and then If more water la taken In the cells fill right up again. Is this true- (Miss F. L.) Answer Yes, but It la unimport ant, for the loss or gain or weight due to sweating or to drinking water la Insignificant. If you get plenty of exercise at tennis every day and drink enough water to relieve thirst, you should reduce, in bulk if not in weight, for you will get more muscle, which takes up less room, and you will have less fat or slacker tissue which haa greater bulk and less weight. Swimming Is Athletic Exercise. I am IB and have a leaking heart valve. I am keen about athletics but cannot participate In them. Would It be safe for me to learn how to swim? (S. H.) Answer It may be not only safe but beneficial,' for you need a care fully regulated amount of exercise to develop the necessary surplus power your heart must have to main' tain a satisfactory circulation In spite of the handicap of leakage. Only your own physician can advise how much exercise you should have dally. Villi Along the Alimentary Canal la there anything to the theory that the Intestinal villi and their power to absorb fata have anything to do with a person being xat or thin? (T. A. L.) Answer It la plausible. If they absorb fata tbe person stand a fair chance to become nice and fat. iz they fall in their function, the per son Is In danger of becoming a holy fright.

SCHERMERHORNS ALIBI EFFORTS TOLD BY STATE Prosecutor Moody in Open ing Statement Says Will Show Accused Official Built His Alibi Early. Evidence that tha state of Oregon will introduce against Suspended Sheriff Gordon L. Schermernorn, charged with ballot theft, and now on trial In circuit court, was wm to the lurv Frldey afternoon, ny As sistant Attorney Oeneral Ralph E. Moodv. The atate'e attorney declared the evidence will show "that Just prior to the commission or the crime anu afterwards, Schermernorn visited sev eral office in the court house, and the Mall-Tribune, and the News of fice, building up a false alibi and in many Instances left Instructions to remember where he waa at me time." Conferred With Glenn That Immediately "before the crime Schermernorn waa conferring witn Glenn on the first floor and that when he left by the back door, the entire rear of the court bouse was left In darkness when the outside light were switched off. "That when the ax was found with which the vault window was smash ed It was turned over to Schermer- horn. Schermernorn . then reported that be had turned It over to the chief of police, when as a matter of fact he had hidden the axe, and It waa found where he hid It. "That after the discovery of the crime, Schermernorn was nervous and excited, and waa In dally secret con ferences with Fehl, Brecbeen, Glenn and La Dleu, In his private quarters In the sheriff's office. Fled To California "At the first Intimation of a re count contest. Schermerhorn absent ed himself In California and re mained there until after midnight of December 31. He returned on Sunday, January 1, and was told by Fehl, the evidence will show: You came back a day too soon. You better get out of the state.' "The evidence will show that Schermerhorn did go back to Yreka, and returned here on the morning of January 3, and went to Fehl's home, cleaned himself up and took a bath, for a meeting arranged by Fehl at which Glenn, Phil Lowd Amos Walker and others were pres ent. The evidence will show that Fehl Instigated the appointment of Glenn and Walker, and that Banks named Phil Lowd. Had To Stop Recount "The word went out that the re count had to be stopped, after It had been ordered. The evidence will show that Schermerhorn and Jones, sometimes referred to as the 'Mayor of Rogue River,' entered the sher iff's vault, and It will be strongly Indicated that the ballots, had they been stolen In the afternoon as first planned, were to have been hidden there until nightfall, and then re moved. "They planned to a teal the pouches from the boys say it waa done by a 'man with whiskers.' a description that would fit everybody In general, and nobody In particular. "That Schermerhorn aided, abett ed, helped, encouraged, counselled, and recommended the ballot theft, and was Its chief beneficiary." At torney Moody declared. 'The state, In the presentation .of tt evidence, will go Into detail and show this Jury, the passive and act ive part and the passive role Is the more convincing." Jennings Mentioned Again The Jennings family father and sons crept again Into the case, dur ing the short opening statement of Attorney H. Von Schmaln. In the Glenn trial, O. O. Clancy testified, that the morning after the vote stealing. Glenn, then Jailer, told him. when he asked who committed the crime: 'Suspicions points to Paul Jen nings." ' "We believe we can show that Mr. Jennings had notice that the ballot robbery waa planned before Its con summation, and did nothing about It." Attorney Von Sen main declared. "We will also show that one of the Jennings boys waa In the clerk's office, near where the ballot pouches were plied, one evening after working hours.'' Attorney Von Schmala gave a brief DOUBLY SAFE . SOUTHERN Building & Loan Association Member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Portland description of Schsrmsrhora's life here, "without a mark against it," and reminded tha Jury that aa a con tractor be had built tha Schermer horn block, and the present Perl Funeral Home In thla city. Attorney F. J. Newman, contrary to expecta tions, made no statement. , Early In his statement Attorney Moody, referred briefly to the Jen nings angle, without mentioning the family by name, with the words: "The evidence will ahow that tf the ballot pouches were tampered with In tbe clerk'a office, It waa the work of same of the mala actors la this drama." Objection Overruled Attorney Newman for the defense, filed objection, which waa overruled against the state mentioning Scher merhorn's absence In California last winter, after Jennings served notice of a recount contest on the grounds It waa "prejudicial," The court held the competency of this evidence would be ruled upon when It wu Introduced. Other high point of Attorney! Moody's statement were: "Thla la not a political matter. It la a criminal ca&e and the only Issue is the guilt or Innocence of Gordon L. Schermerhorn. "The evidence will ahow that Schermerhorn waa very much oppos ed to the recount. "The state will necessarily have to present evidence, pointing to the guilt of others . . . Many of tbe acton in the crime were Just tools, used by Fehl and Schermerhorn for the ful fillment of their purpose. "Prevention of the recount waa the motive of tbe burglary. Says Schermerhorn Connived , "Schermerhorn was not present at the actual breaking of tbe vault win dow, but he connived and consented and furthered It. "The evidence will ahow that no recount of tbe ballots for county Judge was wanted for reasons besif known to themselves. "Technical objections were filed to prevent the recount everything pos sible was done to prevent it. When the court ordered the recount, they decided to get busy, and get busy la a hurry, and they did. "Tbe evidence will show that Schermerhorn used no Independent Judgment, but did as Fehl and Banks told him and with the consent of Schermerhorn. Fehl and Banks ran tbe sheriff's office." The state's attorney hinted that full details would be given of the meeting in Fehl's office after tbe re count order, and maintained that at thla confab, the final decision waa reached. Plot Hatched Early, Claim "The state cannot give the exact hour of the birth of thla conspiracy It was secret and not put in writ ing but as far aa Fehl and Scher merhorn are concerned.
