Ex-Governor Meier passed away in Portland. In Washington, D. C, Senator Joe Robinson, Democratic leader, was found dead at his home. To those familiar, with tho facts, Governor Meier's death was not unexpected. Toward the last of his terra as governor he was a very sick man. lie had never, fully recovered, and for several weeks his condition had been growing steadily worse. The death of Senator Robinson on the other hand, struck the country like a bolt from the blue. As far as was generally known, he had been enjoying his usual good health. Always vigorous physically, one of the members of the President's official family, he had been com mander of the administration forces In the bitter Supreme Court struggle, and literally stepped the arena, to his bed, and his Both deaths can be added to place heart trouble, at the head Both testify to the truth of the "In the midst ot life we are PX-GOVERNOR MEIER will be sincerely mourned in Mcd ford and Jackson county. He was a loyal friend and a tower of strength, during one of the most serious crises, this section of the state ever faced. And the attribute of his char acter, such service revealed, was not as generally recognized as it should have been. Although elected as an Independent, the only Independent ever to gain high office in this state, Julius Meier, by nature, was an reward his friends, punish his he liked; do nothing for those But beDeath an exterior accepted as typical of the big busi ness man, and a manner that even suggested a cold and calcu lating ruthlessncss, ex-Governor sentimentalist and a square shooter. In his determination to bring order out of chaos and law, in Jackson county, he had local citizens. But he recognized the importance of the prin ciple involved, and hewed to the line of his duty, as chief executive of the state, letting the chips fall where they might. And in so doing he certainly Oregon, which was invaluable forgotten. JULIUS MEIER was very human, .and like most humans he mucin mistakps. Practically all nf them could bo ascribed to the conflicting elements in his character, an extremely pas sionate, self-centered quality, struggling with r highly emo tional, sentimental one. When cither gained complete ascen dancy the results were likely to be unfortunate. The present writer had several experiences in this direction, some of tbem pleasant and satisfactory, others the reverse. But we can say THIS: when Governor Meier thoroughly under stood any situation, had ALIj the facts, he never to our knowledge did the wrong thing, he always did what was right and in the public interest. And often contrary to his original intention, and his purely personal desires. In no sense a great Governor, Julius Meier was a good one. He left the state better oft" than he found it. His passing at the comparatively young ago of 62, will be regretted by the entire state, and nowhare more than in Medford and southern Oregon. SENATOR JOE ROBINSON just missed true greatness. He had good mind, the fighting heart of a lion, and a loyalty that was as strong as it was unselfish. That ihtanse loyalty hastened, if it did not directly cause, his sudden death. It was no secret that the senator's heart was not in the Supreme Court fight. But he was a staunch bred-in-the-boue Democrat. He owed practically everything he had achieved, to that party, and his present party chief. He had to choose between his personal convictions, as ho always had in tho pnst, becauso in his code, that was his duty. One can only wish such self-sacrificing ardor, might have been devoted to a better causo. But that would not have been "Fighting Joe of Arkansas", the faithful, stalwart, somewhat unimaginative, veteran of the Democratic general staff. He was not designed for lonely martyrdom, for reaching the heights of epic greatness, he had always been a worker in the ranks, more interested in serving others than himself. He couldn't desert that lino at 65, without being false to himself. So there he stood, like Horatio at the bridge, and fought for his party and his chief, to tho death. The tribute President Roosevelt paid him was well deserved. From his standpoint he did tho only thing he could do, he fought the good fight, he finished his course, "he kept the faith." But that is not the course that leads to greatness. THE very quality that he lacked however, was responsible for the high esteem in which he was held, by friend and foe alike. There wasn't a harder fiirhter in the upper house, a more uncompromising foe when his party was concerned, but no member was more highly respected, nor more universally beloved. He had his limitations, but there was never any ques tion of his strength, his devotion, his uncompromising integrity. As he never considered himself above his party, there was never anything personal, in his partisan defenses and attacks. Every one recognized that. NOT a great ninn, but an able, and a good one. He will be mourned, by all the country, by political friend and foe alike, and ip his death President Roosevelt lost a loyal and devoted friend, his party a self sacrificing and courageous sup porter, whoso place, for the time being at least, it will be impossible to fill.

DIETETICS IS ST At the dawn of the twentieth cen tury the practice of dietetic con fitted of tearing off printed 1UU of fooda the patient could or could not eat. and It was a very good line, provided one took p a 1 na to have one's lists revamped at least once month, so as to give one's patlenta the ad vantage of the latest advancea In science, as well as a, pleasing va riety of comesti bles. Bash revision gave the chronics something to talk about at the eu chre party or the sewing circle, some thing less blessed dyspeptics had not yet learned. Consequently the less blessed ones quietly resolved to visit the doctor and brush up a bit so they should not be so dumb next time anyone sounded off on the subject of diet. Altogether, It was a grerc system, until an eminent specialist made a tactical error, prescribing for a certain dowager a light lunjh be fore retiring to prevent Insomnia and a month later, without referring to the record, forbidding tier to tike any food later than 7 p. m. When the lady protested Vhe doctor ex pllned that medicine was making rapid strides, and the heydey of quack dietetics was practically over, as fas1 as regular medicine was concerned. Such a contretemps could not cramp the qtyle of the near-doctors an'j queer-doctors, however. These ingenious charlatans exploit dietetic fads In bewildering succes sion, first the Idea that starchy foods ara Indigestible, then the un physio logical notion that "wrong combina tions" are harmful and more recent ly the "acidosis"' bugaboo. Customers, brought up In polite Innocence of human physiology, assume that regu lar or "ordinary" doctors Just do not understand about these things. An outstanding Impression one draws from the modern standard works on food In relation to health and Illness, the practice of dietetics or dletotherapy, Is that most people consume too much refined food, not enough natural food. One author, writing on food allergy, asthma and hay fever observes that first-born children In all families and the youngest children in large families are most likely to have al lergic troubles (hypersensitivity to this or that food). This author (Dr. 8. M. Feinberg) suggests that first born children and youngest children, whose older brothers and sisters spoil them, receive special cere and are frequently overfed. Overfeeding In In fancy and childhood, he thinks. Is QdMclnfyre NEW YORK, July 15. Every large metropolitan hotel must deal with what are known as "H. O.'a" hys- terlA guests.

One middle sged lady in a lower 5th avenue hotel has a germ phobia. She in sists that maids and waiters who serve her wear rubber gloves and after each departs she sprays the entire apartment with an antiseptic from a huge atomizer. Passing through the hotel to her car she wears a gauze mask. There are also several who Insist there shall be no other passengers on elevators in which they ride.

ILL A GOOD LINE accountable for allergic manifesta tions. Jour. Allergy, 8:280, March 1937).

If not caused by, deficiency In calcium metabolism or utilization In the body, whether ths depends on an actual shortage of calcium In the Intake or upon fjm constitu tional Incapacity to assimilate cal cium. We know, ior Instance, that functional lmpaltment of the para thyroid gland tsually manifest itself by a deficiency In calcium metabol ism. We kuow, too, that Inadequate Intake of vitamin D, or Insufficient exposure of naked akin to sunlight, or botn, account for a deficiency In calc.um assimilation or utilisation In the body. QUESTIONS AMI ANSWERS Chalk Is precipitated chalk the same as the calcium carbonate you recommend In place of sodium bicar bonate for relief of acidity of stom ach? Druggist sold It to us In pow der form, but only directions say It la for removing spots from delicate fabrics. (M. McD.) Answer! I do not know whether that would be safe to take Internally. Precipitated chalk la the pure article for internal use. It is a fine white odorless, tasteless powder. It may be had In tablets of fi grains each (cal cium carbonate) and two such tab olets la the average dose will neu tralize excessive acidity In stomach for several hours, without disturbing normal acid -base balance, as the much abused soda does. t Circumcision My husband has implicit faith In whatever you say . . , our baby boy circumcised. (Mrs. M. A.) Answer. I should advice circum cision only when It Is necessary for cleanliness or to relieve obstruction. Fry or Coddle? Appreciate It If you would kindly send me a little argument on fried food such as potatoes, bacon, chops, etc., and the harm done the stom ach. (W. M.) Answer. That's Just a notion of some sour old dyspeptic. Food cook ed by frying Is just as digestible as food cooked any other way, the best guide about the manner of cooking being always how do you like It.
