What will the President sayT What stand will he take on this question and thatf Business men would like to know. Re publicans would like to know. Democrats would like to know Everyone would like to know. But according to press reports from Washington, no one knows everyone is in the dark, and it is apparently the Presi dent's intention to keep them in the dark, until the message has been delivered. OUCH a course is wise. More than that it is imperative. For J while both domestic and world affairs, appear at the moment to be in a state of suspended animation, under the surface of dead calm, tremendous forces are stirring. At any time now, until the opening of congress, there may be a vital change in the status quo. It is probably not far from the mark to say, that on many issues, President Roosevelt has not himself decided which course to pursue, and will not, until the last moment. Obviously to be committed to any concrete policy, through premature announcement, would not only be embarrasing, to the chief executive but might be fatal to some objective he lias in mind. So until the opportune time comes President Roosevelt on matters of state, is keeping his own counsel. This is ono of the most surprising qualities of our demo cratic Roosevelt, Superficially he is the most amiable and en gaging of men, full of banter, playful persiflage, a great fav orite with the press boys, but this is entirely , a convenient camouflage and used as such. Beneath it all, his keen mind is analyzing, dissecting, bal ancing, and pointing steadily toward a detinue goal, jwore than that while no President ever had more advisers, it is doubt ful if any President ever depended so entirely upon himself, to arrive at definite conclusions. SUCIT an unusual combination is extremely valuable in the Wliito TTnucn nr tlio nrosonf. thrift. A man of less personal charm and tact might be gradually isolated ; a man of less courage and self reliance, might be hopelessly mired in the bogs of indecision. Once again it is plain that some kind Fate, guides this country's course, putting at the head of the government, the preciso type of man, that the nature of the crisis demands. Use tlMl i.-ioiwe tu axU. Quo Vadis? ONE of tho most perplexing problems facing the country in the last half of . the Roosevelt administration, will be the matter of relief. There are two definite and opposing schools of thought in this direction. One school favors the gradual abandonment of all so-called, work relief, and going over completely to a direct dole. The chief argument in favor of such action is the lowered cost. No informed person denies that the direct dole would cost the government far less money than the working relief system. The other school opposes the dole on two main grounds! first that it would establish a largo permanently dependent class, based upon the assumption the government owes every man a living regardless of what he may do or not do in return; second that the dole would be demoralizing, destructive of self respect on the part of the beneficiaries, and by removing a vast majority of the unemployed from the labor mnrket, would raise the wages of labor employed, far above what actual business conditions would justify. s nPHIS issue would be an excellent subject for the High School debating team. For no matter which side might be taken, a good case could be made for it. Throughout the country at large there seems to be a general impression that under the present system there is no dole. Thi.i is not true. Technically the dole system has not been adopted, but actually thero are today more unemployed on DIRECT, than on indirect relief. And direct relief, giving the needy enough to live on without requiring any services in return, is to all intents and purposes a dole. This present system costs the country approximately $2,000, 000,000 a year. Were a direct dole adopted it is estimated the cost would be not move than $1,500,000,000 a saving, of half a billion dollars. To turn in the other direction, cutting down on direct relief and increasing work relief, would increase costs all the way from $2,300,000,000 to the collossal sum of six billion dollars, depending upon tho precise program followed. To transfer 1,300,000 persons now n direct relief to work relief would boost the total cost to $2,300,000,000. Now instead of giving these unemployed just enough to live on, and as some propose, giving them say a living wage of $3.) a month, would increase the total cost to about $4,000,000,000. To keep these same workers on a $.i5 per month basis, and provide a vast public works program, so as to stimulate the purchase of raw materials and benefit the basic goods industry, would cost from six billion dollars to $6,500,000,000. And so on and so forth. Which is the best and wisest course to pursue! This is only ono of the questions the President will eventually have to decide. We wonder how many people would like to be in his shoos, and have the responsibility of such a decision I Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D.

Every one knows what happens If an Individual gets all the fresh air and pure water he needs but no food; or all the good food h e needs but no water. Most people know that Individual who Is deprived of fresh food, com' pelted to live on dried, salted, canned or Btorcd p r o v 1 alons for many weeks oj months, Is like' ly to suffer from scurvy, a limited number of persons thru the south now have vague Idea that poor folk who have to subsist largely upon a monoton ous diet of corn meal or white bread, molasses, salt or smoked meat, tea and staple groceries, develop pellag ra, That comprises the sum of com con knowledge of deficiency. Certain well defined health Im pairments are universally recognized as deficiency diseases; Among them are scurvy or scorbutus as physicians call It, due to deprivation of vitamin C; rickets or rachitis, due to depri vation cf vitamin D; beriberi, poly neuritis or multiple neuritis, due to deprivation of vitamin B; pellagra due to deprivation of vitamin O; and xerophthalmia due to deprivation of vitamin A. But having named these clearly defined deficiency diseases we have by no means surveyed the field of nutritional deficiency. We have mere ly observed the more familiar fea tures. Besides these salient points there are a far greater number of Ill-defined functional disturbances or vague states of poor health o weakness which we are just begin nlng to recognize as manifestations of a partial vitamin deficiency. In deed, the views of most authorities on nutrition Indicate that most per sons who subsist largely on refined food suffer from liypovltamlnosls of ono type or another liypovltamlnos ls meaning disease or health im pairment from Insufficient vitamin to maintain optimal or perfect health. To the casual reader It will seem absurd at first, and also to the physi cian who Is not thoroly familiar with this branch of physiology, but we must now regard everyday obes ity as a deficiency state, In the sense that hypovltaminosis has so much to do with the overeating which puts tho victim in such plight. This has , been proved clinically in thousands j of cases, for when obese Individuals' get an adequate ration of vitamins they find they are comfortable with much less food than they have been accustomed to take, and hence re duction becomes easy, and moreover they experience distinct improve ment in general health and vigor while they are reducing and after the excess fuel store has been used up. There Is but one answer to this, and the answer lo an optimal ration of vitamins. Such a ration of vitamins is prac tically Impossible to obtain where the main part of the food Is refined. That is, it Is difficult to provide the essential amounts of the various vita mins In their natural form, In food. For a normal person who has always had the right food a little care to include certain unrefined, undena turlzed Items In the bill of fare will Insure at least an essential vitamin ration. But the obese individual has long had a vitamin deficiency, and hence it Is necessary to supplement his diet with vitamins In order to correct that deficiency.

Most of them, he says, he discover ed In little heaps around old rock fortifications, Just as they were thrown from the guns of the lighters back In those hectic days of '73. O NE especially Interesting find is an old pipe, which was lying on a sheltered little shelf In the lava, and two or three feet away from it was a little heap of empty shells. The pipe Is weathered and checked, but is still In a good state of pres ervation. The stem, of hard rubber, Is bitten and chewed and scored by clamping teeth.

This leads to the conclusion that ! before they surrendered, they cached j the more modern wapons in caves In the lava, hoping to come back to them later. If so, they probably cached much other equipment at the same time. THESE caches, if they could be found, would provide a wealth of historical material for the proposed lava beds museum. A Mr. Fltzhugh, of Alturas, has believed for years that these caches were made and thinks he knows Just about where to find them If he could only find time enough' to take a good look. So far, however, he hasn't found lie time. Here's hoping he gets a little time on his hands one of these days for a search. THE lava beds national monument has been almost wholly ignored, even since It was set aside as a monument. But It has distinct possi bilities aa a tourist attraction, be cause of its historical background. The Modoc Indian war got Into the school histories, and nearly everybody In the country who went through the grade schools knows something about It. If Don can get his museum, and enough material to fill It, It will attract thousands ol people.
