Has Oregon Deteriorated?
HAS Oregon deteriorated in the past half century f We don't
mean materially, for the Mate in larger and richer than it
was in pioneer times. TVe mean spiritually.
The final decision regarding the new state capitol building
will go far toward deciding this question'.
When the old state capitol building was erected, Oregon
showed intelligence, courage and vision. It didn't build for that
day but for the future. It didn't consider what the state might
get by. with, it considered what the state needed, not only then
but more important, through the years to come.
Consequently the people of that dayjjuifl a capitol that not
oniy they but their children and their grandchildren could be
proud of. Had fire-proof construction been known at that time,
no doubt that capitol would still be standing and be good for
many years to come. ' v '
But as everyone knows the capitol building burned down.
And now the people of Oregon are confronted, as their fore
fathers were confronted, with the problem of building a new one.
DUT what is the popular attitude toward a hew capitol today?
Is it marked by the intelligence, courage and vision, of those
days of long ago J
Judging by what one reads
Most of the conversation concerning a new capitol can be
covered under the general heading of: "How can we get by with
the lease expense?" as if in such a matter money is all that
counts I '
Money is important. And in the building of a new state
capitol, not a penny should be wasted. But certainly money is
not EVERYTHING. What the state really NEEDS, for the
present and the future, should be the first consideration. And
building a capitol that will SYMBOLIZE the true spirit of this
state,' the feeling the people have for it, and their confidence
in its future, should be the second.
We have no axe to grind in this matter, and no pet schemes
to advance. Hut we would regard it as a shame and a pity, if
the final decision regarding a new state capitol should demon
strate that the present generation in Oregon, lacks the intelli
gence, courage and vision of the pioneers who founded 'and
built up the state. , ,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Reading the Finger Nails
I have been under treatment In
thi' hospital for H years. Ono of
your articles mentioned ridged, brit
tle and spooned nails as a common
condition In one form of anemia. My
nails are pitted. . . . (Mrs. T. A.)
Answer Some physicians who have
noticed the nails report that nearly
all patients with active tuberculosis
show more or less pitting of the nails.
Transverse depressions with length
wise ridges in the nails may be one
manifestation of insufficient vita
mins, particularly vitamins B, Q and
D. This latter condition has been ob
served In persons following a vita
min-poor diet for the purpose of
weight control. When the diet Is sup
plemented with an adequate vitamin
ration the condition of the nails
steadily Improves.
Baby Feeding
Baby 10 months old on bottle since
7 months, constantly constipated
tried maltose, even removing large

Answer Peed the baby ripe banana

culin tested herd (have, your local
health officer's or your family doc
tor's approval of this before you give
it to the, baby.) If you are unable to
obtain or afford these better grades,
then I advise you to get any raw milk
you can get snd bring It to a boll one
minute to make It safe for the baby.
This is better, I believe, than depend
