(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,

Prohibition agents In Texas have
finally located a brewery after a 17
months' hunt. It la easy to under

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.

SOMETHING TO FIGHT ABOUT!
The United Daughtera of the Con

a Houston dramatlo club on tha
ground that the book Is unfair to

but the U. D. C. Mate president re
plies "they won't give It Just the
same." But why not Just the same,

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.

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.

In earlier talks we neatly disposed i Any smoker who has due regard for

belief that It la

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

ness of the Republicans to GET

This criticism of the President la
merely part of the strategy of get

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.

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

he blossomed as smart as paint on
the Paris boulevarej even the French
ohatter writers took notice. One writ

Likely no one has suffered more
from an exploding match packet than
Leon Enrol, the comedian. In neglect
