C'fw'ru; time for Poo Late to Olaa Sir Ada Is 1:30 p. m- Lets Have WE have an idea the two candidates of the Republican party don't think very much of President Roosevelt and his administration. If there is anything Roosevelt has done during the past three and a half years, which one, or both, of these gentlemen, have not scathingly and vehemently condemned, we would be grate ful if someone would tell us what it is. Everything has been wrong. And what hasn't been wrong, has been wicked. ' All right. All right. Let it go at that. Messrs. Landon and Knox, particularly the latter, are very clear on this point. But they have not been at all clear on another point, which under the circumstances, appears to us of equal importance. If elected, they will of course NOT do what Roosevelt has done, or if so will do it in a radically different way, but just what WILL they do? If they have been clear on this point, it has completely escaped our attention. . . IN November the character of the government may be changed, but the pressing problems of the country won't be. There will still be the many millions of unemployed; there will still be a serious farm problem it has been admirably handled this year, but there will be a now problem for the year following, there will be work relief, there will be public works, there will be the so-called "yard stick" ventures like T. V. A., Bonneville and Grande Coulee, and innumerable other things, to continue or reject. What, if placed in power, will the Republican party do about them? We don't mean rhetorically, we mean actually, coming right down to Colonel Knox's cherished habitat, the grass roots. We regard the inquiry as particularly pertinent at the pres ent time because on his second visit to Oregon, a few days ago, Colonel Knox giive a characteristially aggressive and stirring speech about the constitution. Ho prefaced his scholarly discus sion, with the following eloquent tribute, to our pioneers, and moving appeal to our natural state pride: Tour state of Oregon was developed by a hardy breed. They were of the stamp of men who built this nation. When they encountered grizzlies they did not send a call to Henry Wallace to come and plow them under. They did their own plowing under when It came to grizzlies and any other excess products. When they encountered shortage of water they did not send a call for help to Mr. Ickes. They went thirsty till they found water. When they encountered Infertile land they did not wait for Mr. Tugwell to move them out. They moved themselves to better land and held It against all comers. When they were hungry they did not call for Mr. Hopkins. They went out and ' ran down a deer. And when they wanted a better Job, they did not ask Mr. Farley. They went out and made a Job. As the result Is your magnificent state of Oregon, a land of economic plenty, a land of stately trees and orderly farms and glowing orchards and beautiful flowers, a land of lumber and minerals and wheat and wool and fish and fruit and cattle. Now if that doesn't mean that Colonel Knox is an ardent supporter of the Hoover brand of rugged individualism and liiisscz fairc, then what docs it mean? If it doesn't mean that if placed in power, the Republican party will abandon, such farm relief, as Secretary Wallace has prescribed ; such public works as Sooretary Ickes has estab lished; such work relief as Administrator Hopkins has carried on, thou what does it mean? And if it DOES mean that, then we submit, the Republican vice-presidential candidate should frankly state so, and if it doesn't, he should be equally explicit in that direction. Wii are getting a bit fed up President. RnnRAvnlt dsv without a single constructive suggestion, without a Bingle def inite, clear cut proposal, of any nature, as to precisely what the Republican party, if placed in power will, or will not do. There have been plenty of glittering generalities; plenty of vague and tongue-tickling intimations; plenty of table thump ing speeches on the sanctity of liberty, the glory of tho good old days, and greatness of the constitution; but if there has been any definite outline, of a specific nature, about TVA and Bonneville, about holding company abuses, and a hundred and one tilings in which all the people of this country are interested, it has never como to this desk, and wo don't believe it has ever come to any other. This paper maintains the time has come for Messrs. Landon and Knox to cither fish or cut bait; either tell the people of this this country what their program is, or frankly admit they have no program. TPIIKY say everything about Roosevelt and his administration is wrong. All right that is their opinion, and they are i-u titled to hold it. But that isn't enough, if the people of this coun try are going to turn over the government to them for four years, the people arc entitled to kuow, not only what they regard as wrong but what they regard as right. JUDGING Colonel Knox by his latest effort, if a person asks HIS government, for food, he will tell him to run down a deer; if another person wants a job, he will tell him to go out and MAKE a job; if there is a wheat surplus or a fruit surplus, or any other surplus forcing the farmer back to 48 cent wheat and '.'1 cent corn (which ruled when Mr. Hoover's abundance and rugged individualism prevailed) the farmer will be told to go out and plow his own wheat under if he wishes. Or if his farm is washed out or loses its fertility, he will be told to jump in the lake there will be no resettlement program such as the infamous Dr. Tugwell has proposed, each man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. If this ISN'T the Colonel's idea, and perhaps he will vehe mently deny it then what IS it 1 That's all we are asking at the present moment. It's only about six weeks before election. It's high time the Republican candidates, who want to kick Franklin Roosevelt out of the White House and get in themselves, do something more than abuse the man and the administration they wish to displace, and show in a clear, definite fashion what they pro pose to do. If they are not going to throw out the Roosevelt policies entirely, just what policies are they to retain; and exactly how will their methods of administration of those policies they DO retain differ from those of the present administration. Let's have the facts. This isn't too much to ask, is it ? The people of the country arc entitled to Hint information, not after, but BEFORE they vote, ' MEDFORD MAIL the Facts on this continual lambasting of in. Anv nut, nioht in niirhf n TRIBUNE.

The characteristic y m p torn sel dom develop be fore the sixth month, though younger infanta may lan g u 1 a h, become pale and cross and fall to gain weight from latent or slight scurvy, due to Insufficient vita min O. Hence the universal practice is to a dally ration of give every Infant vitamin C In the form of fresh or factory (not home) canned tomato Juice or orange Juice or other fresh fruit or fresh vegetable Juloe, from a few drops to a few teaspoonfuls, beginning at the age of one month. Typical signs of scurvy are tender derness In the legs, which causes the baby to cry when handled, perhaps some swelling Just above the ankles, which sometimes leads to the Incor rect diagnosis of "rheumatism." The gums are swollen and purple, espe cially over the upper front teeth where blebs appear and more or less bleeding occurs. Tho child becomes fretful, cross, sleeps poorly, loses color, weight and appetite. There Is some fever. The tenderness In the legs becomes exquisite and the slight est touch or movement makes the child cry out. To avoid pain the child Ilea with the legs half flexed and turned outward and the un trained observer Is likely to think the legs paralyzed. "Black and blue" spots appear here and there, without any Injury to account for them such spots have often been regarded as evidence of mistreatment, espe cially in Institutions. TJie teeth loosen and may drop out. Red blood corpuscles are found in the urine analysis and perhaps Internal or ex ternal hemorrhages occur. All because the baby or child has been confined to a diet of cooked. boiled, pasteurized, sterilized, canned or preserved food and not. given a proper dally ration of fresh raw food of one kind or another. Condensed or evaporated milk. aterilized milk, boiled, scalded or pos- wunzeci mint, is likely to cause scurvy unless such diet la supple mented with a vitamin C ration. Certified milk, or ordinary raw milk, does not cause scurvy because It con-' MILITARY DRILL, TAX LIMITATION CORVALLIS. Sept. 10. (AP) President Oeorgo W. Peavy charted a course for Oregon State college this coming year based on "peace. cooperation and efficiency" in a pro- pared address to the first meeting of the faculty Friday. "Progress in higher education can be made only with assurance or sta bility," President Peavy pointed out. "We have had our fill of upheaval and chance. The people of the state expect peace, cooperation and effic iency, and thnt Is our objective." President Peavy pointed out the dangers to higher educational sup port in the pending tax limitation measure and then expressed his views on the proposal to make R. O. T. C. training optional. Limited military work, under lib eral exemption rules has been re quired since the founding of the college in 1808. he said, and his ob servation over more than 35 years Ms been that It Is beneficial to the students, the Institution and the state and nation which provide o large a share in the expense In the studenta' training. "There will be much passion and misrepresentation In connection with the campaign on this measure," he predicted, "but my own view Is that this Is little enough to expect of stu dents In return for the educational Assistance received. "I abhor war and consider It the most damnable device ever conceived for the settling of disputes, but I am not In !avor or a nation unpro tected In the face of present world rondltions." The president predicted the lar est enrollment this fall term in many years If not a record high, and said every effort is being made to meet the teaching problem!

M P. tains some vitamin C about one unit In each ounce. To prevent scurvy an Infant should receive dally 20 units of vitamin C; as much as Is contained In ounces of tomato Juice or orange juice. Insufficient vitamin C Intake pro bably accounts for excessive carles or decay of the teeth of older In fants and young children. Do not rely on any one Item to furnish vitamin C. Include several In, the diet. The daily amount of vitamin C child or adult must have to prevent scurvy Is only a fraction of the amount every one should have to enjoy the highest attainable de gree of health and vital vigor. QUESTIONS AmTaNSWERS Beware Pirates A correspondent reports that cer tain vendors offer a "Dr. Brady For mula Perspiration Remedy" and a "Dr. Brady Corn Cure." and certain charlatans announce to prospective patrons that they use "Dr. Brady's method" for the treatment of one thing and another. Answer I wain readers to beware of such pirates. No one Is authorized to use my name In that way. Draw your own conclusion as to the hon esty or reliability of any one who would pirate on one's name to bam boozle credulous customers. ' Calories How many calories has canned pineapple Juice? Is canned orange Juice the same in calories and vita mins as fresh orange Juice? . . . (Mrs. B. O, McK.) Answer Canned pineapple Juice yields 16 calories to the ounce. Canned orange juice (Florida) 1J cal ories, (California) 18 calories, to the ounce. Orange Juice fresh contains 14 units of vitamin C per ounce. Tomato Juice fresh contains 'the same amount of vitamin C. Canned orange Juice or tomato Juice contains slight ly less vitamin O, but Is still an ex cellent source of this vitamin for in fants, children or adults. Orange Juice yields 13 calories per ounce. Tomato Juice yields 6 calories per ounce. Fresh pineapple juice, about 5 units vitamin O per ounce; canned pineapple Juice, about 4 units vita- min C per ounce. The richest known food source of vitamin C is green i pepper, which contains 31 units of j vitamin C per ounce. j Ed.

(AP) A re volt by some smaller nations against a big power plan to bar Ethiopian delegates from next week's League of Nations assembly became apparent tonight. Such sentiment among the lesser states was' manifest at the conclusion of the first private session of the league council tonight, a session which was not attended by Italian delegates. , GENEVA. Sept. 19. (AP) Big Eu ropean powers, convening In Geneva amid new war fears over Europe's "Instability," have found a formula to bar vanquished Ethiopia from Monday's assembly meeting and to obtain renewed collaboration of Italy's Duce. league officials disclosed today. The officials said they expected Halle Selassie's delegation of three, due In Geneva Sunday, to be refused seats at the assembly table on the grounds they do not represent an effective government. They added, however, that the league Is not prepared to recognize the tlalinn conquest of Ethiopia, which it tried so hard to stop, or to declare an Independent Ethiopia non existent or even out of the league. The officials predicted Italian del gates would remain absent until Premier Benito Mussolini Is satisfied that minor powers will raise no ob jections when the Italians come to present thier credentials on behalf of the king and emperor. In turn, the league may accept the credentials without mentioning "em peror." which might Imply recogni tion of the Italo-Afrlcan empire cre ated by the annexation of Ethiopia.

A rest ful sanctuary down a quiet street where members may drop In. loll in deep cushioned chairs and medi tate. He believes a remedy for the world 'a tautness Is a half-hour or so of peaceful wonder dally. At first blush It sounds a deal like Pollyanna prattle. Yet my friend Is a success ful man a gentleman who has made a fortune In a business venture at which many failed. He belongs to no church nor Is he a member of any cult. Indeed, he's rather a worldly fellow. Yet since early manhood the habit of contemplation when dusk Is sift ing Its haze has been part of his rou tine. He thinks every man should take time out to go over his day, weed out mistakes and plan the mor row. He believes twilight offers an Inspirational tug for such devoirs. I thought of him especially this sundown upon dropping into one of the plushy snack bars where a merry crowd was shucking restraint and priming with potencies for the night to come. And for the Inevitable headache at daybreak. Twilight means little to a bustling city save splashing about in tubs, guzzling cocktails, telephoning madly and lining up for the evening. But In the sleepy small town twilight Is an Interlude of exquisite ecstasy. There Is front porch relaxation, the sprinkling of lawns, the chime of church bells, doves at the fountain, the lowing cows lumbering from pas ture, the obllgato of crickets, the spark of fireflies through the night dark foliage, and always that lush and dew Inspired waft of honey suckle, It's a calm the city dweller cannot achieve. A chance to snuggle closer and with understanding to the heart of things. It Is ever amusing when city folk sigh over the monot ony of village life. They do not know that sleepy plentltude that comes to the village when the sun dtps and day trembles with delicious languor into the fathoms of cool long sha dows. Then there Is the small town dawn (Voice: The fool's getting homesick and blubbery) and Its successive and colorful sweeps Into wine red blaze. The dew-spangled grass and that earthy aroma that cornea only with this matutinal cadence of change. The first clarion cock-a-doodle-do of the far-away rooster and the swing around the barnyard circuit until it is throatlly echoed by your own Domini ck. Nothing I've known not even Rheims cathedral End aLaaaaxXl5! ill yiii moonbeam ed into whorls of floating tray and black silhouette has the inspirational chirk of a -rooster's sun-up bravado. A symbol of vigour, courage and dare to another day! I've frequently noticed In ocean voyaging that passengers who linger In deck chairs to watch the most fascinating of maritime phenomena, the sunsets, are the folk from Scearce's Switch or corum's Crossing. The citified are in their cabins floss ing up for a later drenching In the cocktail salons. The same Is true of moonlight deck walkers. Tap the sundown gazer on the city's park bench and you find a dreamer from the whistle stop. Lew Field's story expresses the metropolite's view of Nature. A City Slicker in gaudy Burtout at the brink of Grond Can yon gazing into the yawning splen dor. A countryman at his side mur mured reverently: "Some scenery." The city slicker thumbing his sus penders and glancing down at his checkered array chirped: "You like it? Moe Levy turned It out." I know companionships of the city the night clubs, theatre foyers, snack bars and the froudful fellow ships across the tables at Llndy's snd Reuben's. NoVie has the frank friend liness that congeals In the village loafing spots the drug store, soda fountain or court house steps. And it's not just a dribble of yokel pal aver. I've heard more intelligent dis cussions there than I ever heard from the Broadway homllists. That was 20 years ago. But now, with the civilizing Influence of the radio, screen and airplane, there's no such thing aa villagers shriving their souls In monastic isolation. They are as city wise as a Woollcott or Coward. And there isn't one who would not swap his twilight In shirt sleeves on the back porch .for a first row at the Music Box with lyrics by Cole Porter and music by George Gershwin. And if anyone suspects this chronicler has gone suddenly twillghty well, that's what happen ed. And I feel grand! (Continued trom page One.) gardless of what happens November 3? No comment, except that he is a damned good guesser. He is such a good political guesser, he may syndi cate himself after election. He doesn't wont to brag, but he thinks he Is pretty good. In the five Maine con tests, his estimates were very close on three, off a little on one and away off on another, a congressional con test. That reminds him about Albany. 1932. Some of the political experts got up a pool on the election and he thinks everybody put $5 In the hat, and "mind they wore all experts." but Make Your Choice of Style and Price INHERE is not any truth to the im pression some people have that "it's expensive to own a home".
