Encouraging Reports Given
at Annual Meeting of As
sociation Co-operation
Aids; Officers Re-elected
(By Era Nation Hamilton.)
With school officials Joining health
officers In reporting work accomplish
ed along health lines In Jackson coun
ty during the past year, an encourag
ing picture of conditions, emphasizing
the advantages to be gained from
cooperation of districts with the Vack
son County Publlo Health association,
was drawn yesterday at the annual
meeting of the association, at the
home of Mrs. Corning Kenly, attend
ed by more than 100 workers from all
sections of the valley.
Reports submitted from the various
groups, With Miss Mildred Carlton,
president, presiding, Illustrated again
that there Is a definite advancement
In districts where health programs,
with a nurse one day a week, have
been made available.
Tuberculosis Dwindles.
A report to this effect, submitted
by Dr. O. I. Drummond, county phy
sician, through Miss Blanche Bunels,
county nurse, was Illustrated with a
chart whloh showed clearly unmis
takable results In decreasing the rate
of tuberculin positive children.
The health department of the ooun
ty, Dr. Drummond stated, "has gone
through a period or stringent years
and without the active help of the
Jackson County Health association
would have been unable to carry
through."
The length of the period over which
the health, program has extended !n
each district, Is reflected, Dr. Drum
mbnd's ohart showed, In a definite
Improvement In health, particularly
In the campaign against tuberculosis.
Such realization, his report stated,
Is even more Interesting than the
fact that the health department has
during the past year Immunized 017
school ohlldren against diphtheria,
examined 1,477 sohool children and
given 740 treatments for syphilis.
. Bowman Notes Progress.
Emphasizing further the splendid
cooperation gained In Jackson coun
ty through the school and the health
association, 0. It. Bowman, county
school superintendent, addressed ths
association. He drew an Interesting
picture of health education In 1002,
comparing the process to that of the
present day. The program, he ex
plained, was at that tune handled
from the negative viewpoint, exclu
sively, emphasizing the Injurious ef
fects of alcohol and tobacco, and fall
ing to cite the advantages to be gain
ed from good health habits. The
psychology of the whole educational
program, he added, has ohanged and
children are now told why "a thing
should be done to enable them to
get the most out of life."
The percentages of pupils In the
various schools, taking the tubercu
lin test during the past year, were
listed as follows by Superintendent
Bowman: Phoenix ,67, Talent .B0,
Cold Hill .60, Rogue River .73.

ton, school nurse, who stated that
dally health habits are being em
phasized there above all else, and
that special attention la being paid
to hearts, to prevent over-exercise,
where weaknesses are discovered.
Where Improved nutrition was at first
noted as a result of the simplified
living, made neoessary by the de
pression, she stated, the contrary Is
now noted through the lengthy dura
tion of difficult financial conditions,
and many cases of underweight have
been discovered in the schools. Mrs.
Denton described the dental clinic
as the "star in Ashland's crown," and
complimented Mrs. Smith of the
Southern Oregon Normal school upon
the far-reaching emphasis ahs has
given health work through training
of prospective "teachers.
The report of health work in the
Medford schools was given by Mrs.
Lewis Ulrich In the absence of Ruth
Swanson Dodson. It showed that
health work of the past year hero
has been educational with no free
medical or dental clinics, except In
emergency cases. This yesr the per
cent on ths honor roll, In spite of this
fact, was 7S.4, as compared to 09.4
last year, when much free clinic work
was being done. These figures, Mrs.
Dodson presented as significant of
the education of all classes to health
needs.

Type Tires in January 1933
TIRES BUILT FOR SPEED,
Safety and Non-Skid Mileage on the Cars of Today
It was no easy matter to develop these tires Competition had noth
ing like it our engineers could not borrow an idea here and one there.
So they set to work in the laboratory and on their test cars and after
months of research and thousands of miles of driving gave us in Jan
uary 1 933 the finest tire they knew how to build They called this tire
"fatigue proof."
It had 95 more effective non-skid It had a 33 deeper tread and
20 wider and a new tread compound that give 40 greater mile
age The carcass was reinforced and insulated against friction heat and
blowouts
And after 16 months on the market they still lead in mile
age and safety .

SAFEWAY STORES
TO START FRIDAY
All stores of the 6afw&y system in
the Pacific northwest will jointly
celebrate the 19th anniversary of the
founding of the stores with a four
day sale, starting Friday, May 35.
This Is the first "Birthday Sale" the
Safeway stores have ever held, and
will commemorate the service and
growth of an Idea conceived by Mr,
M. B. Skaggs, who put It Into effect
at American Falls. Idaho, 19 years
ago this month.
Mr, Skaggs was, at that time, 27
years of age and a new arrival from
the east. His foremost thought was
to do something to help the commu
nity he had adopted to lower living
costs, whloh, he had discovered, were
far higher than in the east.
With a few hundred dollars he bor
rowed, he built without assistance
his Initial store on the edge of the
desert town, 'surrounded by sagebrush
and sand. He wae his own architect
and carpenter, floor layer and painter,
His next move was to purchase a stock
of supplies, the best brands obtain
able, which were marketed at a nar
row margin of profit, thereby render
ing a service to his community.
Throughout his Initial work, his main
thought was to help his neighbor to
help himself. He had no idea that
his business venture would have more
than ordinary success.
Two years later, however, he opened
hie second store at Burley, Idaho, and
14 months thereafter his third store
was opened at Blackfoot, Idaho. To
day Mr. Skaggs Is chairman of the
board of directors of an organization
operating In 31 western states.
The stores of this district are really
the "home" stores of the company.
They serve all sections of Oregon and
Washington and a part of Idaho.
Whn the first store was opened -In
Poll land in 1921, It was the 16th
unit, the other 16 being located In
Idaho.
Mr. Bkaggs had determined upon
opening his first store to buy what
was possible In the same vicinity
where It was sold, and his stores have
always followed that policy. In each
district, where Safeway store Is
located, the bulk of fresh produce la
purchased from local gardens. Thous
ands of dollars are spent In this dis
trict each year by the Safeway system.
The same men who helped to build
the Safeway organisation are still at
the helm. Only five of the 320 execu
tives have not at one time worked
behind the counter of one of the
Safeway stores. The manager of every
store In this region has given his part
In the birthday sale by conferring
with the district manager, the Ideas
oj all Safeway employes being In
corporated Into the general plan,
undlr which the sale will be conducted.

TO AID POPPY SALE
OF LEGION AND V.F J.
"The D. A. V. or the World war,"
says Arthur Sallee, local adjutant, Is
known as a co-operative agency and
we have the good will of all other
veteran organizations. The veterans
of Foreign Wars and the American
Legion will be on the streets Friday
and Saturday, selling popples, the
members of the D. A. V. will be out
selling popples, or all of the members
who can.
When you buy a poppy from either
the American Legion or the V. F. W.
Just remember that the money will
be used for the same purpose as from
the sale of the For-get-me-not sold
by the D. A. V. on Armistice Day. and
goes for the benefit of our disabled
comrades."
In Flnnders Field, 1934
In Flanders Field far, far away,
The popples bloom, the graves are
87-
There, mourners weep; there, heroes
sleep.
They rest In peace In Flanders Field.
Some wounded doughboys' lives were
spared. '
They limp about with health Im
paired. His country's flag up In the skies.
He cannot see; he lost his eyes. ,
His lungs were gassed. His legs are
- gone.
Each breath a pain, they still live on.
Their country took eye, arm and leg,
And gave to them the right to beg.
Oh, cruel war, what fruits you yleldl
They envy those in Flanders Field.
Rouse comrades of those awful daysl
Hold up before sll mankind's gaze.
Those mangled men who did their
part
Until you break the nation's heart.
Stand by the weak; do not stain our
shield 1
A voice calls out from Flanders Field.
WASHOUT
15 MILES OF
KIDNEY TUBES l
Win Back Pep . .Vigor . . .Vitality
Medical authorities sree that your kid
neys contain 16 MILES of tiny tubes or
filters which help to purify the btood and
keep you healthy. They should pour out
thru the bladder 8 pints of fluid a day
which contains 4 pounds of vuta matter.
If you hava trouble with too frequent
bladder passages with scanty amount caus
ing burning and discomfort, the 16 MILES
of kidney tubes need washing out This dan
ser signal may be the beginning of nagging
backache, leg pains, loss of pep and vitality,
getting up nights, lumbago, swollen feet
and ankles, rheumatic pains and dizziness.
If kidneys don't empty 8 pints every day
and get rid of 4 pounds of waste matter,
your body will take up these potions causing
serious trouble. It may knock you out and
lay you up for many months. Don't wait.
All: your druggist for DOAN'S PILLS
. . . a doctor's prescription . . . whirh has
been used successfully by millions of kidney
sufferers for over 40 years. They give quick
relief and will help to wash out the 16
MILES of kidney tubes.
But' don't take chances with strong drugs
or so-called "kidney cures" that claim to fix
you up In 16 minutes. Your common sense
will tell you that this Is impossible. Treat,
ments of this nature may seriously Injure
and Irritate delicate tissues. Insist on
DOAN'S PILLS ... the old reliable relief -
that contain no "dope or nabit-lonmng
drugs. Bo sure you get DOAN'S PILLS
at your druggist. 1084, Foster-Mllburn Co.
