held today, she Is mad enough to
vote.
It Is a pleasure to note that Cong.
Martin of Oregon, who became lucky
politically shortly after his anger at
Hoover reached its peak, U confident
he will be elected governor. The gen
eral reckons without Mr. Mahoneyi
the fiery mayor of Klamath Falls,
who Is also confident he will bo elect
ed to the same high post. Most any
time the mayor la apt to think of
something catchy and free, that will
cause the voter to knock the pick
handles out of fielr own hands
something like Fried Chicken for
Everybody, and Free Oasollne. The
masses would rejoice to have a candi
date with a little orlglnalltyi one
who would report, six weeks before a
vote la cast: "I don't think I'll make

The constant declaration that every

there are objections to the gallantry;

Good Work Ashland!
CONGRATULATIONS to the Ashland basket-bailers 1 An
initial victory in the state tournament is no small achieve
ment, inevitably boosts a team's morale, and here's hoping, the
first is followed by a second and a third. "
If Ashland SHOULD reach the semi-finals, or grab the title,
all southern Oregon will rejoice, and a county reception will be
staged for the winners, which this section of the state will long
remember. . . .. ' ,
UDGING by reports received by the present writer since his
return a week ago, Medford and Ashland staged a miniature
civil war over the basketball championship of this section. We
are still somewhat hazy as to what it was all about, but regard
less of the intensity of feeling aroused, Jackson county is cer
tainly NOW a unit as far as the Ashland basketball team is con
cerned. . '; . , , .
In order to assure its readers the. result of today's contest
the Mail Tribune bas extended the time of going to press, until
the final flash is received. ' i
We hope the news will be good. news, but if it isn't, if
Ashland should lose the team at least can have the satisfaction
of having made a good showing, and having upheld the best
sporting traditions of this section of the state, ':
Medford joins every other section of the county in congratu
lating the Ashland team on its initial victory, and boosting
whole-heartedly for its final success ! . .
Mrs. Martin Opposes Mrs. Fehl
WE are glad to agree with Mrs. Henrietta Martin, president
of the Good Government congress, in her opposition to the
candidacy of Mrs. Electa A. Fehl, for county judge.
Mrs. Martin bases her opposition, upon Mrs. Fehl's INCOM
PETENCE to fill the office, and explains further as follows:
"We desire that the coming campaign be not a campaign of
villlflcatlon and mud slinging, but a campaign conducted on
the qualifications of the candidates seeking office, for It Is In
this way alone, that we may select capable, honest men to fill ,
I city, county1 and state offices." ! .
, To which the Mail Tribune pronounces a fervent "AMEN!"
For over 20 years this paper has fought for competence in
public office, the elimination ot personalities, generalities, mud
slinging and villification, in political campaigns, we are glad,
AT- LAST, to get some help from a source, where for so long a
time, it lias been conspicuously lacking.
' . . '
, Might we add that Mrs. Martin in her search for competence,
for a capable and honest man to fill the place of county judge,
need go no further than to give her hearty endorsement to the
present incumbent, Mr. Earl Day I ':
AH candidates of course, in an effort to GET into office,
CLAIM to be honest, efficient, and everything the voters might
desire, but Judge Day has this distinct advantage over all pres
ent and future claimants, he has PROVED himself to be just
that. His supporters need not claim anything, leave anything
to conjocture, they have merely to point to his record, to the
accomplished FACT. f ;1 ; '
K NYONE who will fairly study that record, consider the
"V trying circumstances under which Judge Day took office,
will agree that a BETTER county judge MORE honest, MORE
capable, MORE tireless in his effort to serve the best interests
of ALL the people, ALL the time, has.never occupied the place
in the history of this section. ; .,.:
Then why not consider the incident closed, Mrs. Martin
As far as the judgeship is concerned, your search for honesty
and capability in office, and elimination of mud slinging and
villification in the campaign, need go no further. :
; The retention of Judge Day in office, will give you precisely
what you, and your organization, desire !' .',

RESEMBLANCE TO BALONEY.
A medical man sends In a hand
some brochure about a salve that
seems to enjoy considerable popular
ity with physlcl-
ana of the credu
lous claaa and
we Itave a lot of
'em In practice
for the inside
pages are replete
with, testimonial
letters which pur
port to have been
written by phy
sicians, tho for
some curious rea
son the docs pre
fer to remain an
onymous. Wonder what they were
ashamed of?
The brochure contains some fine
illustrations. One shows just about
the prettiest nurse you could find tn
seven counties, or at least a young
lady with a nifty waitress cap and
everything, in the act of applying
some of the salve to a patient whose
pulchritude positively distracts the
eye from the nurse. And aa tho that
were not enough to remove the last
doubt of the prospective customer,
there Is a second scene in which the
nurse plays the Lady with the Lamp.
In this scene she holds & kind of
portable reading lamp, I should call
It, so that the powerful white rays
beat down upon the snowy bosom of
the patient. The legend under Scene
II reads "Driving the (Nostrum) in
With Heat." Altogether it makes hot
stuff.
The friend who sent me the Item
for my collection marked one passage
printed In italics, which the nostrum
makers have probably found effective
in disposing of any little skepticism
the gullible physician might have:
"It has been assumed by some
that the absorptive power of the
skin Is comparatively small owing
.to the protection of the horny cov
ering of the epidermis. It will be
seen, however, upon examination of
the illustrations, that the epidermis
has abundant openings in the se
baceous glands and hair follicles,
through which drugs in suitable
form may be readily absorbed."
To any one with even an elemen
tary knowledge of anatomy and phy
siology It is as absurd as would be the
argument that since there Is an open
ing thru which sound, air, light and
liquids may enter "the ear, a person
may talk thru his ears with a little
encouragement by the right nurse. "
One doctor was so delighted with
the free sample boxes of salve the
nostrum maker sent him that he
smeared up the environment with It
quite recklessly while the supply
lasted. But everything cornea to an
end eventually, and when the doc had
no more free salve to dispense he
bethought him of an old trick where
by It Is possible to get another half
bushel sample cans out of the average
nostrum firm. He sat down and wrote
a note of praise for the stuff, putting
Just a suggestion In his testimonial
that he would like to experiment
further. This quaint old gentleman
solemnly states that he had a bad
attack of gout an entity I confess
I wouldn't know If I saw, and I doubt
any other physician would and he
used the salve on the affected Joints.
After he had been applying, the salve
(containing lodln) for a while the
laboratory pathologist found traces of
lodln in the analysis of the urine. The
doctor says he had not taken any
lodln or Iodides internally. So he
seems to think the presence of the
trace of lodln in the urine proves
that the skin absorbs lodln.
Oh, well, aa long as we have such
simple, credulous men in the medical
profession, we can't blame the laity
for being so gullible.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Daminns Are Easy to Digest
Bananas are hard to digest. Why?
(P. O. B.)
Answer I know of no reason to
think so. Ripe banana la an excellent
food for puny infants. It should be
fed to every Infant. Banana pulp
when thoroly ripe, sweet, yellow, soft
but not mushy, will prevent and cure
many Intestinal troubles of poorly
nourished Infants.
Coffeln
A chemist tells me that coffee Is
beneficial because of the cartel n it
contains. He says caffeln Is a mild
stimulant which does not cause after-
depression. However, he admits that

Urady, M.D.
coffee may be harmful If boiled, be
cause of the tannic acid released by
boiling. Now I, and many other per
sons, believe that fresh coffee that
has not been boiled at all Is a cause
of bilious or acid reaction, due to the
caffeln content . . . (B. R.)
Answer The chemist Is right. But
he told you that only once, whereas
others tell you something else over
and over until you believe what they
tell you Is so. Your final question:
Why do so many eminent physicians
regard coffee as harmful? indicates
the source of your lore. Can you
blame an eminent physician who re
gards' coffee as harmful?
Overweight Persons Should Not Drink
I believe beer now contains around
4 per cent alcohol. As n "overweight"
I am Interested In the caloric content
of beer, also such wines as sauterne,
chlanti, Rhine wine, etc. How about a
little beer or wine between meals or
with meals? (B. H. B.)
Answer So far as body weight Is
concerned, the glass of beer or wine
may be estimated to give about three
fourths as many calories as a glass of
milk does.

Comment
on the
Day's News
, By FRANK JENKINS.
nWA, In this writer's humble and
possibly inaccurate Judgment, Is
a tremendous flop.
Its purpose la to spend -money on
public works In order to relieve the
depression, but It Is so slow in getting
under way that with any luck at all
the depression will be over long be
fore PWA really begins to function.
WHEN will the depression end?
Well, if the government's tre
mendous and breath-taking efforts to
put a stop to it don't scare people
to the point where they are afraid
to do anything at all ON THEIR OWN
ACCOUNT, it ought to get over this
year.
It would be over now If business
wasn't still afraid to try to move
under its own power.
A SOUTHERN OREGON real estate
man. Just back from California,
reports that farm land Is beginning
to move down there especially those
tracts that are being put on the mar
ket at extremely reasonable prices.
. On these tracts, he says, where the
water has all been squeezed out of
the price, It Is possible to put up 20
pe cent In cash and borrow the rest
from the government.
Deals like that can't be turned
down.
11HERE are the buyers coming
Tf from?
Principally, It appears, from the
Middle West the good old source of
supply for most of California's new
population.
The Middle West hasn't lost confi
dence in California, and apparently
tho Middle West isn't as badly broke
as we have been led to believe. Its
people can find the money with which
to take advantage of what they re
gard as a bargain.
AS TO this confidence of the Mid
dle West In California, he says:
"A bond man down on the bay told
me the other day that his house has
sold so far 91,345,000 of bridge bonds,
and of, these bonds, $135,000 have
been sold In San Francisco, and ALL
the remainder In two or three states
of the Middle West."
Fault?
or Bad Dreams
To turn a nervous, wakeful child
into a peaceful little slumbcrcr,
try two tenspoonfuls of n delicious
fruity syrup you con get from any
druggist. Just have him to give you
a bottle of California Syrup of Figs.
Any boy or girl wilt love its taste.
It starts at once to sweeten a sour,,
bilious system; and next morning,
after moving about, the child will
have a thorough, natural bowel
action irom ine gentle action
of the senna, if it is the real
California Syrup of Figs.
THAT statement Is exceedingly in
teresting for two reasons:
(1) Because it indicates that the
Middle West still ha confidence in
the stability of California and the
Pacific Coast; and (2) Because it in
dicates that the Middle West still has
money. '
Both of these reasons are Interest
ing to us here tn Oregon, aa well as
to the people of California.
WHY?. . (
Because experience teaches us
that when a Middle Westerner comes
to 'California and buys a piece of
California land, the Callfornian who
sells out, about nine times out of ten,
comes up here Into pregon and buys
some good Oregon land..
California land sells at what to us
up here looks like mighty high prices,
and Californlans are smart enough to
know that they can come up here and
do better with their money either
by converting an equity Into property
or by selling a smaller piece down
there and buying a bigger one up
here.
BESIDES, Oregon especially Southern-Oregon,
Is Interested in ANY
THING that benefits California, for
California Is our best customer, and
whatever helps our best customer
helps us.
