IX the matter of this sewage disposal plant don't forget this. It took a great deal of hard work and considerable political pressure, to secure a federal OK for this project. PYA finally agreed to endorse the Medford improvement, and donate toward its construction at least $22,000 in cash not as a loan but as an outright gift. If the bonds are sold to some private bond house this gift will be increased to $26,000. If the bonds are defeated on Tuesday, all this work will have gone for naught. More than that. Such action will serve notice that Medford does not approve of this form of Roosevelt relief, repudiates this phase of the New Deal, and in the future to secure federal financial aid for this proposal or any other, WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. As far as future federal money is concerned Medford will be "OUT 1" We hope Medford voters will carefully consider this feature of the situation vehen they go to the polls, day after tomorrow. It appears to this paper a very important one. Transient Relief Personal Health Service lly William Urady, M U.

VITE have an idea it'i really a poet's job to properly put over what the government of this country is doing to help the unfortunate and the distressed. At any rate the skipper of this column feels that fo date the story has not been adequately told the people as a whole don't appreciate what has been and is being done, here in southern Oregon for example. - Of course figures and statistics can be recited the tons of beef, the pounds of bread, the gallons of milk, the yards of cloth, the cases of shoes, but obviously there is something more thnn that, something that can't be added in a list of figures, and something that perhaps can't be told in merely factual prose. For it is really the spirit behind those facts and figures that is the impressive thing, and we have a hunch a poet laureate, is needed to properly embody that spirit via the printed word. Poets did a similar job in the long ago. It is particularly interesting to note that during the 18th century poets were much concerned with such things as contemporary social conditions and the lot of the common man. Those who knew Wordsworth Everybody la now down to Ui last land certainly their Burns, need not be told thut the burden of leat on their calendar. - . , their songs was frequently "man's inhumanity to man that Preparations are belli mads lor make the countless thousands mourn.

Yes, that's the price and it must be paid. But it is A MIXOIUTY Veterinarians recognize two forms of rabies, dumb and furious. In the controversy over the question of the occurrence of ra blei In man some of us are dumb and some of us are furious. I'm pretty dumb about It myself, I gather from the com ments of my more enlighten ed colleagues. Today comes a letter, I suspect from a facetious student, bearing a typewritten head ing "Rockefeller Institute" and an eastern ctty date line. The body of the letter reads so much like a book that I fancy the young man of un identified status who wrote It was lust practicing typewriting on me It runs. In part: "That the Pasteur treatment . really does confer Immunity to rabies was proved some years back by Pasteur and has been proved again and again by oth ers. . . . you object to being In jected with groiindup rabbit spinal cord, but I don't see where that's nny worse than being vac cinated against smallpox with groundup pustules from calves." The first part of the argument Is a familiar one. The health commis sioner of a west coast city recently used it with devastating effect In scolding he administered to me In the columns of this local newspaper But the same health commissioner. a year before, had furnished me with an abstract of the hospital records of 15 cases of alleged human rabies that had occurred under his jurisdiction, and altho Pasteur an tl -rabies treat ment was administered to about half of the patients beginning a day or so following the wounds, all IS cases terminated fatally. The Pasteur treatment failed In 100 per cent, of cases. But It Is an old medical tradition now. to Imagine Pasteur treatment Is a specific cure or preventive, and it is too much to ask physicians to use their own headsto batter down stone walls. Look at my poor old bean, and after all, what docs It get me? ' The second part of the bright young Institute employee's argument is better. But there Is really no anal- ! ogy or similarity between antl-rables. virus and vaccine. We are reasonably sure that the vaccine used to Im munize against smallpox Is cow-pox, and I'd rather take my chances be ing inoculated with cow-pox than have smnllpox. At the very worst, cow-pox Is not a serious or a muti lating disease. Vaccnila, as the con dition Is called when It occurs In man. following Inoculntlon with cow pox virus, Is only rarely more than a temporary discomfort. This young critic from the east Is mildly sarcastic about my remark that "I have studied every bit of sig nificant evidence bearing on the question that I have been able to find." But he Imputes to me the. as sertion that I have read all about ra bies, and then modestly remarks that he has not read all about rabies. Oh, well, why quibble? a lot of pseudo-sclcntlfic hokum Is uttered and written about rabies see the specimens above cited. It comes down to a simple matter of every doctor adopting his own oplvt lon or belief, since no one has fouud thc cause of rabies and no one knows whether It occurs In man. It Is nil a matter of opinion and common sentc. In medicine wo must never confuse tradition with science. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Too Rosy Prognosis. Rader describing hla experience in diathermy extirpation of hla tonsils says: "I first went to a Or. Communications who told me the could remove all of :he tonsils In two treatments and the cost would be $30. But I suffered auch a severe sore throat after his first treatment . . . altho he had assured me the treatments would be paln- Irss . . . then I went to Dr. , &no, I found, usually gave eight or 10 treatments. His treatments have never caused any soreness to speak of and 1 should say anybody desiring this treatment should go to a man wao knows his business but doesn't hold ov.t such rosy promise or offer such low prices as an inducement . . . (H. L.) Answer Ycu are quite right. Rarely does the physician skilled In dia ; her my extrlpation attempt to com plete the treatment in less than half a dozen sittings, and as a rule tr.e successful job requires from six to a cozen visits to the doctor's office. Loose Cartilage. Pour months ago slipped, sudden pain Inside knee. Swelling and pain in knee off and on ever since. Dr. . sMd washer loese, and if nature d'C not put it back In place in few weeks operation ... (A. P.) Answer I agree. The loose cartilage should be surgically anchored or re moved now. Food Concentrates. Saw several allusions to food con centrates In your columns, and would thank you for your opinion of . . . vhlch la -said to supply 18 minerals . . (S. W. L.) Answer Who wants or needs 16 minerals? The only concentrates I have recommended the vitamin prep-j p rations. I think vi turn 1ns obtained! from natural foods are often of value ! to supplement diets which happen to I4 poor In vitamins. I do not believe synthetic or artificially prepared "coti ter.trates" of vitamins or minerals or foods are necessary. (Copyright 1934, John P. Dllle Co.) NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre 'able to rise. The Joy of finding hls master waa too much. That wrenches the heart. I f A NEW YORK, rxc. 1. Billy the Bos ton has attained the age ot 12. ripe maturity for a dog with the nlmble- SJJseia. -aaMsj neas and urge to pyhood. Eleven of thoee y e a r a he has been a con stant companion. He came young, ardent, believing, after a year of gazing wistfully out of a dog shop window. C o n g e n ltally deaf, he has never vil'Ai of those who have found him a thoroughbred. But his gravely brown and intelligent eyes look out upon the world and mankind trustingly, with boundless gratitude and incorruptible Inno cence. Once making a xriena, ne never forgets. Because of deafness, he has re quired extraordinary care. Never on the streets has be been off a leash. He has crossed the Atlantic 20 times. the Gulf of Mexico, been in 0 for eign countries, from coast to coast 8 times, to Florida, Texas and old Mexico Indeed wherever his owners ; have gone. . ' With marvelous understanding, the j heritage of every dog, he realizes , the care he has been and tries to make up for It in bursts of affec tion. If either his master, mistress or both are away, he will not sleep, Instead he sits statue-like, head cocked hour after hour at the trance door. The loyalty of a dog to hla kind la a ta A frAllionma Ratal vh ft m Joined Btlly during the latter'a tenth year. As an old established dog nuiy was dignified, diffident and now and then took a nip at the new comer. But when after two happy years the Sea ly ham 'a Joyous sparks flew upward, pilly moped for weeks. Often now we find him sitting de jectedly in the corner vhere the bed of the departed was, although a room he never entered. Whenever he sights a ball of white fur on the street, he strains and whimpers. It might be his absent pal. He has never lost hope. The moments when dug compan ionship ssems precious are these in terludes of disaster, when the world seems crumbling, which come to all. Then the faithful dog reveals his understanding sympathy. Billy, in such exigencies, comes to He down quietly at my feet. His eyes . ever close, but Instead peer for a change of expression that betokens ill le well again. Ed.

Friends tell me that when Billy goes romping off to the Elyslan fields, it will break my heart. Of course. That Is the Inevitable blow for every person devoted to a dog. Kipling warned of It with: "Brothers and sisters, I bid - ycu beware of giving your heart to a dog to tear." But Kipling has owned many dogs. He owns one now. t It has been said it Is foolish to affection on a dog. I don't agree. I've never been betrayed by a dog. And well, no matter. On the other hand I have small patience with the spe cious theory that people who do not like dogs are not to be trusted. Fond ness for dogs is usually Inspired by environment. I learned to toddle holding to a great St. Bernard. All my life I had a dog about. Had there been none my Interest might be pas sive. Every dog lover pulls out the tremolo stop in a sentimental discus sion of his pet. Yet a dog's loyalty cannot be over-dramatized. It fre quently transcends the human heart. I have the stark memory of two hours of horror In Paris when a hotel chasseur, who had taken Billy for an airing, returned with the empty harness. He thought the dog would follow and set him free. In stead he beenme confused and bolted. I found him in one of those narrow lamp-lit back streets surrounded by a crowd in curious Jabber. When l edged through to htm. he gave the eerie scream of a lost banshee and toppled over. For a day he was un- No eulogizing of Billy, which means everyone's dog, is complete without a banzai to his gen tlemanlt neas. Since he came to us he has Jumped 100 times for a rubber ball upon his mas ter's awakening. It's the high spot of his dally routine. He crouches, nose between paws, quivering with desire for romp. But no matter how late his master sleeps, he never shows im patience. The slightest motion pricks his ears and tauts him for caper. Many mornings it Is an agony of im patience. Yet he never oversteps the mark. Never gives the Impression his humility has been outraged. No wonder they grip our affections with hoops of steel. Dream Dislocated Neck ' NEBRASKA CITY, Neb.

Favors Sewer Bonds To the Editor: I would not feel that I had done my whole duty If I didn't speak a woTd of final encouragement to the voters of Medford on the Sewer bonds election to be held on the 4th of December. My position Is a little peculiar; I am both on the outside looking In and as a taxpayer on the Inside looking out on this question. Medford has always been such a pro gressive city and Is noted for that throughout the breadth and length of the land. We certainly have been derelict In this one question of sew age disposal and It la only by good luck and not by good management that we have not had some sort of i an epidemic, or other 111 health con dition because of this neglect.

And to these many we would supgest a trip recently taken by the present writer a trip to the transient work camp on Savage creek just a step from the highway to Grants Fass. Let them see what is now being done there, in preparing this camp, for 200 men, men without families, men without homes, some of them men without a country. Men who 130 years ago, would have been left in the gutter just a bunch of dirty rags, to be thrown with the rest of the refuse into the Thames early some cold winter morning I Let them look over similar transient camps here, in Klamath, Talent, throughout the state and the country. See the work the men are doing, the food they are given, the warm dry quarters in which they are living. Then let them freshen up on their political and social history say from 1734 to 1S001 .... AS stated at the outset this is really a poet's job there should be artistry and genius combined much more than has been said here should be said in fewer words, with a his torical perspective and just the proper touch of irony, to bring the contrast home.
