NO NRA CODE FOR OVP8. (Press Dispatch) MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Nov. 1 (UP) Kind and aympathotle neighbors went to the aid today of a farmer and hla wile who have been welfare dependants for ' several montha. In the couple absence neighbors purchased a new mattress for their bed and burned the old one In the yard. Tha farmer'a wife fainted when ahe saw the smouldering ashes. "We had 12800 hidden In the mattress." she said when revived, It looks like Dr. Duffy's Malt Whiskey might hustle Dr. Thayer'e Flu Pills, as a cold cure thla winter. Prohibition agents In Texas have finally located a brewery after a 17 months' hunt. It la easy to under stand how s rum runner could efl cape, but It looks like most anybody could overtake a brewery. The power truat has paid Ita taxes without making a speech, or throw ing s fit. None of the Balem com mission, bureaus, politicians, or pro fessional friends of the farmer, as yet, have attacked the validity of tha payment or Its constitutionality. "All of the anlmala, excepting Man, know that the principal buslnsas of life la to enjoy It." (Samuel Butler Essays) On the other hand, Man la the only man that can aurvlve hla own greed.

SOMETHING TO FIGHT ABOUT! The United Daughtera of the Con federacy In Texas oppose the pre sentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" hy a Houston dramatlo club on tha ground that the book Is unfair to the south. A club promoter of the play says "We'll give It Just the same," but the U. D. C. Mate president re plies "they won't give It Just the same." But why not Just the same, In toto and without let or hindrance? Surely, a Texaa audience ahould not n. denied the powerful scene of Little Eva's ascension to heaven, the touch ing pictures of Uncle Tom and Le are. Eliza crossing the Ice (Texana see little Ice, anyway) and all the rest of the compelling dramatic atoryr The Civil War having been officially ended at Apjwmnttoi in te long, long ao. wny not the Innocent Indulgence nowf (Ksnsaa City Star). The Forgotten Man? TTTE never print anonymous communications. Yesterday we printed two communications, unsigned, but placed the writers' names at their request on file." This is as far as we ever go. When circumstances justify, we are glad to withhold names. but the identity of the writer most be knon, afid to parties legitimately interested, will be revealed, upon request. Today we received a communication GENUINELY anonym ous, without an address and signed with a fictitious name. As is usually the case, the writer had a reason. The communication was intemperate and abusive. Among other things it claimed this community is only interested in "blah, buncombe and booze", good moral citizens have no chance, and while the hum. dingers dance and howl, the poor common peoplf starve, or words to that effect. This communication, with one of the others, furnishes us with a fitting text for today's discburse. The "other one" was an appeal for help from a young man without work and a wife and two little children to support. The paper was scarcely off the press, before the office phone started to ring, and it has been ringing, off and on, ever siqpe.' THE appeal was so obviously genuine that the entire commu- nity wants to help. Pood, clothing and.fuel have poured in and the young man has already been offered a steady job at good wages, by one of our largest manufacturing concerns. Only interested in blab, buncombe and booze, INDEED! Indifferent to the fate of the common man 1 There is no community in the entire country, more sound at heart, more genuinely INTERESTED in the welfare of its people, regardless of their station in life, than this community in which we live. POR years Jackson county has led the state in all forms of hu. TnflnitnriAn flf fnrf flnnnfv hpnlffi orlupafinn (""rtriotTnnB seals, and ever since the depression started, general relief. No deserving person in need, could be more certain of aid and sympathetic help, than right here in Southern Oregon. There has been sn organized effort to discourage the influx of floaters and professional bums, trying to graft on this com munity, but only because this action was necessary to better cere for the deserving and our OWN. Innumerable times, how ever, even strangers, obviously in distress through no fault of their own, have been given kind words and helped on their way. But the PROOF of the Fudding is in the EATING. Here is a specific case of someone NO ONE KNOWS who is in trouble, and actually the entire town has turned out, to give practical aid and help. While the above has been'written the present writer has had four phone calls, offering (1) an order on a grocery store for $5; (2) a week's job, around a man's bouse, chopping wood and cleaning up; (3) a ton of coalj (4) a basket of children s clothes. In each and every case the donors wanted no publicity, did not wish their identity known. They just wanted to help, that s all I , JUST WANTED TO HELP I Someone in distress, ANY ONE everyone wants to give. And there lies that anonymous communication Medford "is only interested in blah, buncombe and booze, the moral righteous citizen has no chance." Need MORE be ssidt Would You Refuse to Help? VI7ITH such a spirit prevailing, how can there be any doubt . about the success of the community chest ! Well there will be no doubt if the basic idea of the commu. nity chest can be successfully SOLD. It is really a matter of salesmanship, to make the purpose of the community chest, clear to all, rather than mere aggressive solicitation. For if the people of thig community clearly understand what the community chest really meanB, what it is for, what it will do, the publio response will be as spontaneous and hearty, as this response to this one anonymous appeal. In this particular case a job will be secured. But jobs CAN'T be secured for all or any material proportion, of those who need them. There are not enough to go around. That is why we have a local and national emergency. For the great majority, without work, and with families and little children to support, food, clothing and shelter must be provided, and the community chest will have to provide them! Letters to newspapers may help in one instance, but not in all of them. And the job before this community is to give relief to ALL I e e e e THIS is precisely what the community chest will do. Putting fha AriAaf eve tin Inn MAa tU-l ; III 1. . J SM i- - .....J uivauB mat, jb.wui uo aune iHuure to put it over means it will NOT bo done. With the community chest functioning, under its efficent and capable leadership, cases like this anonymous one. which has met with such gratifying response, will be promptly attend ed to. Those who contribute to it can know that their money will be used to relieve suffering in just as direot and PER SONAL a way, as if they individually attended to it If this truth oan be put over so the people can see it, then, we repeat, there is no doubt abou't the success of the convmunitv chest drive, when it starts this coming Tuesday. Only those who would refuse such an appeal as was printed in this paper yesterday, would be justified in refusing an appeal to contribute their share to the community chest.

TOBACCO AND CARDIOVASCULAR DEGENERATION. , In earlier talks we neatly disposed i Any smoker who has due regard for of rgeat estlng, overestlng In genersl, health must beware of resorting to a ff; and alcoholism a factors of CVD. We are certain meat eating bu nothing to do with It, We h&ve our doubt about general ov er eating, lnclln lng rather to the belief that It la the Inactivity, the neglect of dally exercise In euch case that is hard on the ar teries and the heart and the whole metabol ism. When It cornea to alcoholic indulgence, there we frankly admit we don't know or at least I don't. Of late year some excellent physicians have questioned whether alcoholism in Itself Is cause of heart and artery disease. suspect the actual factor In many cases ascribed to alcoholism la syph ilid which disease alcoholism no toriously promotes. Next we come to tobacco. Here again there Is no absolute knowledge. The question of the role of tobacco In the causation of disease la one of opinion. We have some knowledge of the effects of tobacco, to be sure. For Instance, we know that smoking rais es the blood pressure, and for this reason most physicians prohibit smoking when the patient has some disease In which the blood pressure Is elevated much above normal. If tobacco Increases blood pressure It puts a strain on the circulation. Records of the senior classes at Tale college for a period of eight years showed that non-smoking men were distinctly taller and heavier than smoking men, and the non-smokers had greater vital capacity. We have all known or heard of In dividuals who have attained a hearty old age, who boast that they have smoked hard all their lives and that they began using tobacco In child hood. Likewise we have all known children who became tobacco addicts In their 'teens yet grew up to a vig orous and apparently healthy adult hood. Notwithstanding these oddities, I believe that the Intemperate use of tobacco Is an Important cause of car diovascular degeneration. Any Indul gence In tobacco by & minor Is In temperate. And an edult who has to resort to tobacco In the course of the day's work, play or pastime Is an addict. These are merely my arbi trary definitions. I can't honestly say I believe temperate smoking (chew ing or snuffing) by adults is harm ful. When I say temperate I mean the Individual oan and does watt till the hour of relaxation after dinner or In the evening to enjoy tobacco. It seems that the pipe smoker, as a rule, has the tobacco habit, whereas the tobacco habit is more likely to have the cigar smoker or clgaret smoker. One does occasionally meet a pipe smoker who smokes to excess, but certainly It is much easier to go to excess In smoking either cigars or clgarets. Evident1 7 It believes that moment has arrived. D ONT take this criticism too se riously. The Democrats are IN. The Re publicans are OUT. It la the busi ness of the Republicans to GET BACK IN, aa being In la the aim and object of all politics. This criticism of the President la merely part of the strategy of get ting back In. P TOU want a good laugh, here It 1 la: smoke as a means of covering a com plex or "quieting the nerves."

QUBSTIONS AND ANSWERS Some Like It Cold Many here, Including our local physician, aay that Ice cream or other cold dessert delays digestion several hours . . . (Mrs. M. B.) Answer Any such cold food Is warmed up to th6 body temperature within a few minutes. Such cold food. If appetizing, rather promotes good di gestion. For instance, a glassful or two of cold wster taken on err empty stomach or before a meal, actually stimulates the flow of gastric Juice and Improves both appetite and di gestion. Shortness of Wind For the past few years I have been troubled with short wind. I weigh . . (T. M. H.) Answer Nothing shortwlnded about your letter. But It leaves me so short of breath I can't bawl you out for taking up our time with your aymp toms. This Is not a long distance clin ic. We axe not Interested In your symptoms. I advise you to see a phys ician. Lefthtndedness Why should not a left-handed child be made to use the right hand In school? The teacher claims no pos sible damage can result If the child Is forced to use the right hand . . . (Mrs. S. A. J.) Answsr If my child were naturally left-handed no teacher would Inter fere. I believe It hinders the child's education and development to inter fere with natural left-handedneaa. I believe It la a frequent cause of stut tering. After all, there la no good rea son for forcing a left-handed person to write or do other skilled work with the right hand, except that the old tlmera have always perpetrated that upon auch children.

Owney Madden, paroled gangster, Is a connoisseur of fine pigeons of every description. Feeding, mating and studying them are his relaxations and he has flocks scattered In various roosts about New Jersey, Brooklyn and Long Island. .Lonely folk so often turn to pigeons somehow. - Speaking of pigeons, Earl Carroll In his seasonal play had planned In a certain scene to have a flock of them, brightly dyed in the manner om Mme. Br ad no, of the circus, released from the balcony to whirr a rainbow flutter to the stage. The pigeons were secur ed from Owen Madden I hear but at rehearsal a down refused to re turn to cages. Efforts to corral them proved futile. Three hours before opening night curtain they were there. Aa a last desperate measure, Carroll secured a mtrksman with an air rifle and the last was brought tumbling down IS minutes before doors were thrown open. The sportsman Anthony J. Drexel was the only dandy to wear a white derby at the races around New York this season. In every detail of correct dress he Is a stickler for accuracy. To the opera, he wears an Ivernees, and his walking sticks and cuff links In variably blend with his ensemble. America's beet dressed newspaper man since Rlobjard Harding Davis is Phil Sims, long an European corres pondent and now writing from Wash ington. Twenty years ago he was wear ing a white-lined Inverness end con certina hat to opening nights as far mid-west as Cincinnati. Later when he blossomed as smart as paint on the Paris boulevarej even the French ohatter writers took notice. One writ ing, "Is this American trying to dim the effulgance of Count Boni de Caatellane?" Sims came from La Grange, Ga. by way of Atlanta and Cincinnati. Likely no one has suffered more from an exploding match packet than Leon Enrol, the comedian. In neglect iiig to tuck In the flap before striking a light, he received a severe hand burn.
