The present telephone serv ice Is maintained by a corporation, which abhorrently pays about 17 per cent of the total taxes, and maintains a large payroll. Thta 1 Justifiable grounds for repugnance and putting out of business at the polls. The state-owned telephone system would facilitate state busi ness, It is averred. If an official at Salem telephoned to Ontario, two deputies In separate state own ed autos, would be forced to drive to Ontario the following week, to determine If the phone message had been received. If the weather was fair, and the campaign hot, the official himself might also find it necessary to yank himself away from his desk. A state-owned tele phone system is needed as much aa state-controlled pos toff ices, across the street from the governments. e e The railroad has retired a 65 year old locomotive engineer.

NUTRITION Just aa long aa we have In the medical profession two schools of thought the docs plunging ahead and the ortho- docs holding back there will be some who ceil It crl and some who sol emnly nuure you it Is one to a change of weath er, a draft or wet feet. I don't mind the ort h o d o c s sounding off about "the com mon cold", for It seems to me there is genuine humpr in their attitude. Or maybe my sense of humor Is abnormal. At any rate I have to chuckle every time I read a ponderous dissertation on the na ture, cause, prevention and cure of "common colds", because It Is so ob vlous that the particular author ex presses his personal views and that every other orthodoc who discusses the subject at all likewise expresses his own personal views. The discern Ing reader must Inevitably conclude that science Is wonderful. The orthodoce, that Is, the reac tionaries, the old timers, who assume that because doctors have always be Ileved a thing must be so, speak learnedly of "lowered resistance" and "keeping, up good, resistance" and merely -becausethey have so long Juggled this nebulous notion they are irritated and offended when anybody asks "What do you mean resistance?" Of course they don't know what they mean that's what annoys them. One who Implies or Infers that everyday exposure to sudden changes, "' ' """"" conatantly ivwoi m vwr uiijiiy uuvi nub uicau Immunity. There la neither scientific experimental nor convincing clinical evidence to support the conception that Immunity Is subject to such hectic variations. The significance of the "resistance" Idea is simply this: I am Medical Tradition. This is my story and I must stick to it. Recent deaths of movie actresses and others from tuberculosis which supervened upon a period of "diet ing" In the endeavor to reduce to sub-standard weight, serve as a sad example of the relation between nu trition and Immunity. Not that adiposity or superfluous flesh pro tect against tuberculosis, for indeed we find that recovery from tubercu losis Is not favored by accumulation of any excess weight.

In the Instances mentioned , It seems probable that the young women suffered grave low ering of vitality and specific failure to maintain Immunity against the latent tuberculosis which nearly all adults harbor. Scientific evidence is accumulating to warrant the teaching that an ade quate vitamin ration la indispensable for the maintenance of immunity against tuberculosis and Immunity against Infection In general or at least some other Infections. Just which vitamin Is most essential, or whether several vitamins each con tribute an Influence, we are not yet prepared to say. But we do know that any reduction regimen which falls to provide an optimal vitamin ration Is a dangerous one in any clr cumstsnce.

Husband aays without water pan furniture will come apart. (C.R-) Answer Certainly the gallon or two of water evaporated dally from the ordinary furnace water pan can have little effect on humidity. The condensation of moisture on kitchen walls and windows indicates humid ity there, but how about other rooms? Some "steaming" of windows when outdoor temperature Is below 40 Indicates normal humidity. If the windows do not steam up some, the air Indoors le probably excessively dried out. Infer!

WILL the governor of New Jersey reprieve Hauntmann again? That question raises another one: "Why did he grant him a reprieve before? There was a lot of talk about new evidence to be introduced, but none of It showed up.

It la described as one of the strong est bull movements since 1933, ind lifted share prices from 91 to more than $3. Brokers tell the reporters that they 'can put their flngera on no particular news development re sponsible for It. What Is really responsible for It Is the belief on the part of a large num ber of people, all at the same time, that some money Is to be made. N this connection, it Is Just as well to remember that the easy mun ey made . on the stock market In 1938 and 1630 did nobody any particular good, and did a lot of people a great deal of harm. It's hard to make people believe It, but about the only money that aver does anybody any lasting good Is that which la worked for and earned.

For another thing, the government crowd Is dead set against any such development. The New Dealers are embarked on another course. In that one particular (and only In that one), Agriculture Secretary Wallace lately has been speaking with massed New Deal uuthority. It la his con tention that a prosperity purchased at U. S. expense through further for eign loans would only double our trottbtes In the end. To transfer and increase an Indebt edness without any prospect of It being- met is worse than cancelling the Indebtedness entirely. There is one way In which the deb tors could pay by the transfer of goods or services. yThe domestic im possibility of thst rests on the fact that we have too many goods nnd the services which Europe could render to us have not yet been suggested. If any. Consequently, you can afford to re main calm regarding an excitement which is In the offing. The only real expansion noted hereabouts lately Is that of Speaker Byrns. He confessed, in an unguard ed moment, to a group of friends the other night, that, when this session of congress started, he weighed 1A0 pounds. Today he weighs 183. Osteopaths estimate that, if the present session of congress continues as it has, Mr. Byrns will weigh 3o0 pounos. no less, by June. That esti mation, however, does not consider the tax bill, shortly to be submitted. Alt In all. It would be presumptu ous to assume that Mr. Byrns will approximate anything like the ton nse of a light cruiser, even though h0"" '"'" -"Iwmc.

Incidentally, new board members confess off the record that there will be prices, but they have no control of them.

I wish to submit herewith quotation from a speech of Dr. Townsend, delivered through a nst lonal broadcast following the In troduction of the amended bill April 4, 1935, In which Dr. Town send says : "The new McGroarty bill em bodies all the salient feature of the Townsend plan optlonsl re tirement at 60 years; the transac tion tax; compulsory spending: 200 per month when the tax reaches that amount pro rata; the tax on gifts and Inheritances, etc.; and 1-10 Increase on the tax rate on all Incomes. The tax collected is to be paid out pro rata, but not to exceed $200 per month each. This is not a concession on our psrt, because manifestly the two per cent transaction tax will be adequate to pay the $200 per month, when the business volume hss been sufficiently built up and the plm Is In full operation."
