NEW SALEM, Illinois, June 23. Here is the place for the Lincoln Pilgrim, to linger. We should have stopped here on our way to Springfield instead of on our return, for here a serious effort has been made to build something that will be a fitting and permanent memorial. New Salem is on the direct route from Springfield to Rock- ford via Peoria, Sterling and Dixon, which we selected for our return. The greater mileage will, we are sure, be more than compensated for, by more interesting and attractive scenery. Nearly three hours of sunshine, after a solid week of dark skies and rain, have already added tremendously to the enjoyment of our journey thus far. -,v These words are being typed on the banks of the Sangamon river after a modest lunch of sandwiches and milk. That Lincoln spirit and atmosphere we found so painfully lacking in Spring field is all about us. We have just walked through the one street of the partly restored village and looked into the old log cabins, as well as the old Berry Lincoln store, where Lin coln clerked, read the Bible, studied law and made a failure of the mercantile business, but secured what proved to be a very useful education. It is a beautiful wooded country, New Salem having been built in a thick grove of oaks, maples and hickories, on the bluff high up above the river. We are seated near the site of the old mill, and one can obtain a beautiful view of the Sangamon valley, stretching away in the distance. The river is high, but it flows by very slowly, winding between its muddy banks and disappearing, around a curve perhaps a quarter of a mile away. The low bending branches of trees, shrubs and long grass make a frame of solid green, through which the dirty stream wan ders, in many places the leaves touching the water. Yes, it is very beautiful beautiful and restful, peaceful, and soothing, in fact we are not at all sure it isn't LAY. In fact as we regard a group of CCC boys, about a hundred yards away, moving wneeiuarrows or sod, tnat strikes us as the fitting word. CCC boys are scattered all over the place, fixing the road up the hill, staking wires to some newly planted trees, and here digging up sod, and one of them running a motor lawn mower. It is all a perfect picture in slow motion. They are lazy, EVERYTHING is lazy, this is a lnzy world, where Lincoln spent five or six years of his formative period. And we have a pious idea that when Lincoln was here, tending store, he was regarded as lazy. There may even be hook worms in this black damp soil. We don't mean lazy in the conventional and deruiratoiv sense. We have no reference to indolence or shiftlessness. It is a matter of record that Honest Abe split fence rails and there are piles of old fence rails all about hero now that he whs husky and muscular, could handle the village bullv with mm hand, etc., etc., but we doubt very much if he was as energetic and industrious, as the young bucks down Springfield way. It was so easy to read and think and dream up here that Sanga mon river down there (Old Man River) higher than it has been in '30 years but barely moving between its lush green banks, somehow gives the key. That mnv bo the reason win- Lincoln failed to make a go of store-keeping here it may be why New Salem was built id 1829 and abandoned in 1839. whv Lincoln movod away two years earlier. Ouly one of the CCC boys is working now, the other four arc in a group leaning on their spades and talking it over. The movements of the one working reminds us of an old grand father's clock a very largo one the movement of the long pendulum back and forth, back and forth tick tock, tick tock. Why go faster, with that old Sainrainon down there the absolute silence all around, the birds chirping in the trees, the sun shining through a damp hare that is rising from the rain- soaKca eartn, vviiy indeed. Such a world wasn't made to rush about in, it was made for relaxation, for reading and contem plation. Ye editor feels lazy, too ho would like to tin OW HU'nv flip pesky portable, lean back against a nico soft moss grown log and just sit and think or as the old gag goes sometimes onlv sit. That sort of thing is in the air. And it somehow brings up Lincoln and our conception of him, when just about a hundred years ago he was here right on this very spot no doubt. For these were his formative years, and we believe it was fortunate they were physically, not too luuuno ur too acuve years, lie wasn't very busy in the store. There were no movies at night. He had a irent final m H.,, t study, to read, to think and to dream, and New Salem .. the periect place lor such things!

He has not been sick for the past seven years. He has tried every thing to put on a few pounds, but recently gave up the attempt and concluded tha his herl tage was . against him. He has twin brother who Is also In the same condition. Then came an article In this column telling of the insulin treat ment to put on needed weight, for persons who are underweight and have no diabetes or other apparent disease to Impair nutrition. He was encouraged enough to aslc a promi nent physician about It, and the p. p. advised against It. Then he communicated with his old family physician. "Absolutely not" said the f. p. T wouldn't take It If I weighed only 30 pounds. Insulin shock Is a aespernie xning; Not so good. But the thin man was game and didn't give up until he spoke to a corporation medical man. The c. m. m. advised him that the added weight would be artificial and that it was good only In cases where weight had been lost after sickness of some kind . , . So what? , These objections are hypothetical, not based on experience. Probably hundreds who read this have received insulin treatment to enable them to gain needed weight, have gained weight and vigor, and havo never experienced Insulin shock or anything but happy results from the treatment. A dollar to a doughnut that all three of the physicians this thin young man asked about Insulin treatment have never used Insulin In the treatment of diabetes or any other condition. Any physician who Is experienced in the use of Insulin for diabetes r-.ows that It Is perfectly safe to give any one moderate doses of In sulin, provided the patient Is in structed about taking some food along with the doso or soon afterward. Insulin shock, or hypoglycemia, sometimes occurs where a large dose of insulin Is given and the patient fails to take some food with It or soon afterward. In certain cases or diabetes, where the patient's diet Is restricted, this Is a risk which requires vigilance on the part ot the physicians and a modicum ot intelligence on the part of the pa- 1 tient. In ordinary circumstances, however, where there Is no diabetes, merely nutritional deficiency, In sulin shock simply does not happen. I have had reports from hundreds of underweight readers who are de lighted with the gam they have made under Insulin treatment. By the way. It should be of In terest to all underweight Individuals, whether , they receive Insulin treat ment or not, that a liberal intake of vitamin B has an effect com parable with a moderate dose of m BUlin, after you have taken the vita. min B for several weeks. I suggest that the thin young man consult a physician who la trained in the modern school. Comment ' on the Day's News QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Giddiness. I know It la common and nothing serious, but curiosity prompts me to ask what is the "blackness" one sometimes feels right after getting up from a sitting or recumbent post tlon, often accompanied with a tin gling sensation as when a foot or arm "goes to sleep." B. M. Answeir Any one may feel such giddiness for a moment on suddenly getting up from bed or from a chair. If it Is too troublesome It bespeaks lneinctent circulation, neglect dally, exercise, . overeating, shortage of vitamin C, or anemia. Condiments, What food value Is there in pep. per, Bpices and condiments? Are they necessary for health, strength and "pep?" M. A. Answer They have no food value They are not essential for health, strength or "pep." They sometimes serve to stimulate a poor appetite. They act as carminatives, slight Irri tants to the stomach and secondarily to the genlto-urlnary . tract. The practice of dousing mustard, pepper, hot sauces on food which Is In ltscll not appealing to appetite, accounts for a great deal of bad health and bad behavior. Occasional use of con diments Is perfectly healthful, but abuse of such stimulants Is akin to alcoholism, indeed it probably ex cites the craving for alcohol in many lnstancea. ' Guide Book.

WALEY. one of the kidnapers of 9-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, gets 4S years In the federal penitentiary a t McNeil's Island. 8evere punishment if he la kept there for the full term of his sen tence. But not as severe as the death penalty. IJTAliEY'S comparatively mild sen 's tence ANY term of imprison ment is milder than death has given rise to rumors of a deal. It la guessed that the federal authorlt'les may have promised Waley escape from the death penalty In return for disclosures re garding his confederates. If that la true, fear of the death sentence still worked in the Interest of Justice. Capital punishment Is a grisly and terrible thing, but it haa its uses in controlling crime. nOEE Important, really, than the severity of the sentence or Its lack of severity; whichever way you choose to regard It? Is the prompt ness with which Waley was caught and punished. The kidnaping was on May 24. On June 21, less than a month later, one of the kidnapers was sentenced to federal prison, after he had confessed. That Is quick work, and good work. Law- enforcement of that sort dis courages crime. 1 RESERVATIONS FOR BY C. OF C. D ISCOUABGEMENT of crime, it Is NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Hy O. O.

Work of the. entertainment com mittee of the chamber of commerce has , definite bearing on business. If the president of the United States visited Medford tomorrow, It is only natural to . assume that thousands of people from northern California and southern Oregon would flock Into the city and as a result con siderable business would be created thereby. Officials of the chamber stated today that the work of Its entertainment committee Is carried out In the same business-like man ner as ' the other -committees and many Instances can be shown that Its activities during the past year have brought tremendous publicity to Jackson county. j Many chambers of commerce hold weekly forums but the local chamber only holds such meetings when the occasion demands. During 1934 only 14 forum lunch eons were held, with 12 the pre vious year, but at most of these meetings an outstanding, national figure was the guest of the city. Letters received from those enter tained would indicate that their re ception In Medford was very much appreciated. This, of course, brings favorable publicity to the city and establishes the fact that Jackson county is a friendly and hospitable community.
