"City of the Sacred Well" an ex
tensive ruins In Yucatan.
Mrs. William Campbell told of
the similarity of culture and religion
In several ancient civilization and
possible theories aa to these widely
separated peoples coming from the
same ancestors. The ruins In Mesa
Verde, Central America, Peru and
scattered Islands in the Paclfto were
the basis for her most Interesting
comparison.
The excavations carried on In Car
thage was the exceptionally Interest

seven different civilizations on the
site of the present city, and the his
tory of these successive occupations

Roosevelt Ball Means
Hope for Children Now
Crippled by Paralysis
The Roosevelt ball to be held in
Medford January 30, la one of many
to be held throughout the country as
a commemoration of President Roose
velt's birthday and as a means of
raising funds to combat Infantile
paralysis.
Appropriately the date for these
benefit balls has been set for January
not only because that la the birth
day of the man who is president, but
because It is also the birthday of the
man who la today's most striking vic
tim of the disease an energetic man
permanently crippled because there Is
so much aa yet unknown about the
disease, yet a man who has been able
to obtain and retain tho position he
now holds because the remedial mea
sures science has to offer have been
within his reach.
The money raised by these balls is
spent In an attempt to Increase the
understanding of Infantile para Writs
and thus to prevent Its occurrence
and aid its cure, and also to bring
these discoveries within reach of a
larger number of people so that they,
like the president, can rebuild their
bodies and thus their Uvea. With
these purposea In view 30 percent of
the receipts of the ball here will be
added to & cumulative fund to be
spent In research In an eastern foun
dation, and 70 percent will remain In
Medford to be spent in increasing the
clinical possibilities here.
Cases Treated Here
Though there have been a few Iso
lated cases of infantile paralysis in
thla vicinity, the cases which the
county has to help at the moment are
for the moat part, cases which devel
oped during the epidemic about tlx
years ago. They have been under the
care of the various health units here
and through them have received
treatment. But these cases are not
cured In a year or two. The result of
Infantile paralysis is an arrested de
velopment of the skeletal muscles so
that the patient has difficulty In
controlling the movement of his
Joints.
Regaining of use and control of
these muscles demands constant at
tention and progressive treatment so
that the Individual can advance from
one stage of lnfrovemcnt to the next.
Therefore there la need for continued
expenditure over a long period of
time If the child la ever to lead a
healthy and more or less normal life.
Few families can meet this demand
and It is for their children that thl-s
money will be spent. The work which
Jackson county has done in the past
for these children has had to be at
the expense of other Interests since
there was no special fund to cover
the Imperative needs. With this spe
cial fund at Its disposal the health
department will be able to give Its
patients ths opportunity of complete
diagnosis through X-rays and special
medical advice, and the opportunity
of maximum recovery through opera
tion, massage, and use of bulltup
shoes, braces, walkers, or wheelchairs.
Need Is Irjtent

aid Is not laree. but the need is ur

ness leaders to attend a dinnei
before the Birthday BalJ in th
Waldorf-Astoria in New York
City. Each visible guest at th
dinner will represent invisible
guests who. unable to attend the
Ball, will listen In on the nation
wide radio broadcast. Tickets for
Invisible guests are being sold
at a dollar each, and the money
will be turned over to the Birth

composed of children who are too
young to realize their predicament
and children whose years of futile
hopefulness have left them passive
and uninterested. All the cases are
capable of definite Improvement If
they are afforded the opporunity of
expert attention. This opportunity,
and in turn the constructive develop
ment of these children's lives, are de
pendent on the success of the Roose
velt ball.
The following description of a rep
resentative number of these cases will
give a clearer understanding of the
situation and Us possibilities:
Spine Affected
Case I The oldest boy In a family
of five children. When about ten
months old he contracted lnfantt'o
paralysis with no very noticeable ef
fects at the time. When ,.e j
start walking it was found that the
Illness had resulted In the paralysis
of both of his legs. Aside from his
paralysis he has lost some of his sen
sations to the extent that a spinal I
operation performed within recent
years was done without anaesthetic,
the child being unable to feel any
sensation In that region. Now, six
years old, he is very bright, promising
to be a very capable boy If It can be
made possible for him to attend
school. To do this he will need fur
ther operations and a thorough build
ing up treatment.
Case II A girl of ten in a family of
eight children who has had a para
lyzed leg for about seven years. She
has been very definitely helped by a
past treatment' so that she can now
join In part of the play at school, but
wears a brace which needs continual
adjustment under the supervision of
an expert.
Case III A boy of fifteen who has
been to the hospital four separate
times for operations which have fin
ally straightened out his legs so that
he can use them. He now boasts hap
pily of the progress he has made n
learning to use a supporting appara
tus known as a "walker." Possessing
a clever, witty type of mind he has
been an interested student in school,
showing a marked ability in mechan
ics. He should have returned to the
hospital several months ago for fur
ther treatment but as yet it has been
impossible to find a way for blm to
do so.
Case IV A boy of ten who con
tracted the disease when he was three.
He has had one operation and is now
undergoing another. He can now
walk though with great difficulty.
and has regained his hope to be able
to take an active part In the lives of
hla five brothers and sisters. To per
feet his control and make this pos
sible it will be necen&ary for htm to
have braces.

large family but separated from Its
activities by being quite severely crip

learned to read, but are now disin
terested and willing to alt quietly on
their door-step, patiently watching
other children at play with no appar
ent hope or expectation of ever taking
part. Massage and similar treatment
could probably revive their legs and
paint a more hopeful picture of their
future.
GLEElNlLECT
VARIED PROGRAM
10 PLEASE ALL
Wlhout question the finest pro
gram ever presented by the Gleemen
will be the verdict of the audience
which attends the concert to be given
by Medford s male chorus In the high
school auditorium tomorrow night.
James Stevens, whose years of suc
cess in opera and on the concert plat
form so well fit him for the post of
director, has selected a large group
of numbers sure to please the musi
cal taste of everyone. They range
from works by Rossini, Beethoven and
Tschalkowsky to popular songs of the
day, and the chorus does full Justice
to all of them.
Only months of rehearsing and
hard work could bring about the
perfect response of the singers to the
baton in Mr. Stevens' hands, but It
la that diligent practicing which Is
reflected In the beautiful and artistic
effects that the director obtains In
all the numbers.
The Gleemen are particularly happy
and fortunate In having as guest so
loist Ether Bristol, lyric soprano,
whose charm and personality, coupled
with a lovely voice, are sure to make
a most favorable Impression In this
her first appearance before a Med
ford audience. Another addition to
the personnel of the organization is
Miss Margaret Chllders who, with Se
bastion Apollo, will accompany the
chorus. The Baldwin Piano Shoppe
Is furnishing two grand p!anos which
makes this Innovation possible.

If you ever feel "out of aorta" depreaaed languid llfeleaa lack

For today It la the moat deadly acourge of the nation. And once
afflicted with thla miserable "cuvee", you cannot remedy It by the ue

to cure. For after continued use of a drug or cathartic, the nerves
and mucua membrane become dulled and refuae in respond.

The Dangers of Constipation
Ever ln the daya of Hippocrates, writers on medical and hygienic
aubjecta have emphasized the harm that reaulta from constipation.
It la undoubtedly the moat dangerous of aU dlaeaaea dangeroua
becauae It I the prolific source of so many other dLseaaea.
Constipation preparea a fertile field for the development of germa
and toxlna. It lower the body a resistance and enables fatal dlsordera
to gain a foothold.
The man who Is constipated la a poisoned man. His Intestinal
tract la a factory of Infection, making and liberating million of active
and dangeroua disease germs.
If allowed to become chronic, constipation may result In any of
the following dlsesaes: Brlghfs disease, catarrh, consumption, diabetes,
dysentery, kidney trouble, liver complslnt. neuraathenla, pneumonia,
rheumatism, etomacn troublea. cougha and colda. vital depletion,
neuralgia. Insomnia, dyspepsia, and hearUlrregula-ltle.
Constipation brings on a derangement of the nervou system. It
brings on piles and other troubles that cause the moat Intense suf

ambition and gest for work. He la often depressed and Irritable. And
there la no reason for hla feeling otherwise. A constipated body 1 a

"It's the Turnover,"
Plan Advocate in
By U R. Shurtleff
As Mr. Frank Jenkins has juu
given your readers much misinforma
tion and aa some of them misnt
thereby hold erroneous ideas, I deem
It my duty as well as my privilege
to make such reply as 1 am able.
In order to get a fair start let us
find some common ground on which
we can both stand to take off. In
the December, 1034 lue of the Amer
ican Magazine. Harry L. Hopklnv
head of the FERA and one of Presi
dent Roosevelt's chief advisors, is
authority for the statement thst.
Our latest flgurrs show that 3,830,-
000 families and 625.000 Individuals
were Yeceivlng some relief from pub
llo funds about 17,025.000 men.
women and children almost one
sixth of the population of the United
States.
Here then. Is common ground that
we both can stand on for a fair start,
the urgent need for something to be
done, with one-sixth of the popula
tion of this over-producing and abun
dant nation on a charity relief roll.
Even the president concedes that this
can not continue.
So, with aufficlent acreage, fertility
of soil and the men and machinery
to produce everything we need and In
abundance for all, and with ten bil
lions of dollars lying idle In our banks
waiting to be utilized In the channels
of industry, why Is It, Mr. Jenkins
that one-sixth of our population Ik
In such urgent need for even the
necessities of life?
Now let me quote from another
man, occupying a rather elevated po
sition In the annals of thla country's
financial circles. M. S. Eccles, gover
nor of the Fedeial Reserve Board.
'Orthodox economics." says Mr. Eccles
'are out of date because they were
meant for a situation In which fam
ine and scarcity were normal condi
tions In mankind's struggle against
the forces of nature. They were meant
more for a debtor nation than for
creditor nation. The need now Is to
apend and consume and thereby use
up the overflowing abundance which
we can produce. Mass production
must be accompanied by mass con
sumption."
The first paragraph of your com
ment offers some further ground on
which we both can stand wherein you
aay the Townsend old age pension
plan is, In many ways, "the most In
terra ting project that has come before
the country." It Is all of that and
more. It is the most Important piece
of legislation that thla country hits
round necessary to enact since the
declaration of indepenoence.
in your second paragraph, after
pointing out that there are some ten
million persons over 80 years of age to
which It Is proposed to pay $200 per
month during the balance of their
life, you say. "it would require an
annual expenditure of 24 billion dol
lars or roughly, half of the national
income."
Now let us not distort our figures
any Mr. Jenkins, let ua rather see if
we cannot continue along a little fur
ther together, I don't like to part
company so abruptly
The last United States census.
(1930), is authority for the statement
that there are 10,300,000 men and
women In this country over 60 years

Says Townsend
Answering Jenkins
of age. Not every one of these would
accept the pension. It would be all
right If they did, but competent sta
tisticians tell us that about 2.300.000
have such salaries or incomes that
they would not care to accept. This
leaves in round numbers, 8.000,000
probable pensioners which, at 9200
per month would require 19 billion
200 million dollars per year, which Is
not half of the national Income, nor
even one-fourth in a normal year of
ample employment, and please do nut
lose sight of the fact that when.
(not ifi, the Towiwiid plan is put in
operation the national Income will be
boosted up further than It was in
what Is called the peak year, 1029,
when it reached a total of more than
80 billions.
Before we proceed further let ua
clarify another rather misleading
statement. You speak of that half
of the national Income allotted to the
pensioners as a total loss, that this
one use that Is made of it is tho last
this nation will ever see of it; Just as
If the spending of it would dump It
over a precipice of the Grand Canyon
somewhere. If this were true, then
the other half that the rest of the
people had to spend would be dump
ed In the same manner and at the
end of a year there would not be a
thin dime left for any one to spend.
No. Mr. Jenkins, when you spend a
dollar of your income, the person to
whom you hand it takes It to some
one else for something he needs, the
third recipient spends It with a
fourth and so on. etc. This Is what
we call the turnover. You've heard of
that, haven't you? Of course you have.
In good years this trade dollar has a
greater turnover than In lean years
For Instance. In 1033, a lean year,
this trade dollar turned over approxi
mately 11 times. In 1929, a good year
it turned over 22 times.
Remember now, when this Towns
end plan la put In operation they are
an going to be good years, so, multl
ply the national Income of a good
year, (80 billion), by 22 and what do
you get. My answer la 1760 billion
and two percent of this 1760 billion
would produce 35 billion 200 million,
Now, what was It we needed for the
pension? Oh, yes, 19 billion 200 mil
lion. Boy, with but a two per cent tax
we have 18 billion dollars more than
we need.
So, lest your readers might be get'
ting alarmed at the enormous toll
you were figuring to take from them,
let us assure the wage-earner, earning
$1000 a year, that this Townsend plan
will cost him but $20 per year and
provide him a steady Job at a good
salary. To the farmer who la produc
ing a crop that sells for 92000 a year,
we must take particular pains to
make plain to him that his amount
of tax to support the Townsend plan
would be exactly $40 per year and
because of Its operation he would not
only receive more for hla product but
would be largely free from an exorbi
tant property tax. And now comes
the grocery man, doing a gross busi
ness of $30,000 a year. Instead ot hav
ing to pay, according to your very
misleading figures, half of his gross
sales, or $25,000, his assessment would
be but the reasonable sum of $1000,
which he has already collected from
the consumer.

Let me quote now from your para
graph of summary, "In other words,
half of all the money taken in by
everybody, at our prent national
rate cf turnover, would have to go
for the support of this amazing pro
ject." Ah, I see where you made your
error now. Mr. Jenkins. It's In that
word "turnover", you didn't seem to
realize what the renl turnover of the
American dollar waa and you certain
ly didn't un the word advisedly in
that sentence.
In the light of these authoritative
facts and figures, the balance of your
arguments that, "everybody would
have to po broke," loses much of it
force. Then you say. "when we stop
and take time to look the fact
! squarely in the face." please do that
I Mr. Jenkins. I could name you man7
men. wt.h minds lint aa keen and
far-seeing as your own who, at first,
wrre as skeptical as yourself, and who,
since they stopped to do that very
thing, became ardent supporters of
the Townsend plan. Try It.
