A few days ago, the Japanese foreign office, proclaimed it

capitalistic nations, opposing communism.

as a rebuke to militant imperialism, in the Far East, and the
waging of an undeclared war of

WASHINGTON, Oct. 33. (AP
The supreme court Justices assemoled
today to decide whether to review
the conviction of Haywood Patter
son, one of the Negroes Involved in
the famous Scottsboro, Ala., casea.
Some observers 'expressed the be
lief this litigation might provide a
basis for challenging any participa
tion by Justice Black, who at one
time was a member of the Ku Kiux
Klan.
Twenty-eight petitions, Including
Patterson's, were placed before the
Justices at their weekly conference.
Whether the appeals will be , heard
in open court will be announced
Monday.
Patterson was sentence to serve
7ft years In prison after his convic
tion of attacking a white woman
on a moving freight train near
Scottsboro in March, 1931.
The supreme court has saved mm

THE rldera mentioned yesterday In
thla saga of the great open spaces
are from Dill Klttredge'a MO ranch
at Adel.
Adel ta 80-odd miles by road from
thla water hole, and these boya have
been combing the sage for atraya
clear up to the base of the Steens, a
good 40 mllea on from here. They've
been out from the home ranch for 17
days, and expect to be out at least a
week more.
During these 17 days, they've been
living mostly out of their packs.
THE MC la operated along with the
1
big Klttrcdge ranch at Klamath
Marsh, and cattle are moved regular,
ly back and forth between the two.
The Klamath Marsh la 80 to 100
mllea from Adel.
It doesn't require higher mathe
matlea to figure out that the outer
edR.a of the Klttredge range arc a
long 150 mllea or more apart. A

addict through the first five days
after he swears off physic. Perhaps
the most Important thing of the kind
la an optimal or more than suffici
ent dally Intake of vitamins to sup
plement the ordinary diet. This Is
rather beneficial for anyone who sub
sists on the ordinary diet of more or
lees refined foods; It la particularly
helpful f or those who are subject to
constipation or digestive weakness. So
I'd try to hedge on my bet by advis
ing the thousand guinea-pigs to start
taking generous rations of vitamins
B, O and D a few weeks before leav
ing for the island and to continue
taking plenty of B. D and O while
doing their stretch. This. I think,
would give them the Intestinal vigor
they need to overcome their weakness.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Canning.
You Imply that factory canned to
mato la superior to home canned to
mato or tomato Juice. (P. M- A.)
Answer Only In vitamin O. Com
mercial canning (vacuum process)
preserves more of the vitamin C of
fresh fruit or vegetable or Juice than
does home canning, because oxida
tion destroys vitamin C. This la im
portant only because tomato Juice Is
a source of vitamin C In Infant feed
ing, or In northern regions where
canned tomato or tomato Juloe may
be the most economical available
source of vitamin C for Infants, chil
dren and adults In the winter. Vita
min C la necessary to prevent scurvy.
Harking Cough.
What are the signs of tuberculosis?
I have a dry cough and shooting
pains. (M. L.)
Answer There are no signs you can
depend on. The only way to find
out what alls you Is to be examined.
If necessary repeatedly, by a physi
cian. That Is the best way to man
age cough even If you have no sus
picion of tuberculosis.
Corn.
One big corn on ball of foot. Would
your famous cough cure be good ?
(Mrs. F. A. R.)
Answer No harm to try it. Paint
corn, callus or wsrt once dally with
solution of 30 grains of salicylic acid
In one-half ounce of flexible collo
dion.

of the big outfits of the inter

QHARKEY. Intrigued by this busl-
nesa of combing the fall range
for strays, went Into sudden action.
"When you guya ride a hundred
mllea or so, like you been doing the
past 17 days," he demanded, "how
many cowa do you bring back?"
John shrugged again. "Oh, maybe
a couple dozen." he answered. "May
be ten. Maybe only one. It all de
pends on how many we find."
Disgust showed on Sharkey's face.
"Huh," he snorted, "no wonder
the price of beefsteak's so high."
QUERIED as to how they liked their
boss, John and Harold answered
In unison: "Bill Kit's a awell guy."
And they meant It. Their voices
told that.
It'a really refreshing In these
troubled modern times to hear a
couple of fellows praise their boss.
Maybe, this cattle business Is a pretty
good business, after all.

The Self-Made Man
He claims to be a "self-made" man;
His wealth amounts to millions;
But still he's working on a plan
To boost the sum to billions.
He started with & dollar bill
And being shrewd and thrifty,
He made It work for him until
It grew to something nifty. -
While speculating here and there,
He found that In his dealings
He'd have no sympathy to spare
For someone's trampled feelings.
A "self-made" man, to reach the top
Can waste no time on others:
He cannot well afford to stop
To aid his struggling brothers.
But even he. a "self-made" man,
Must face some disappointment;
We note as we his status scan,
A spider In his ointment.
In spite of all his boundless wealth
And skill, there Is no question,
That rich food undermines his health
And gives him Indigestion.
Now that he's climbed to such a
height
Above his fellow-creatures.
We venture to suggest he might
Reshape his age-worn features;
And build himself a stomach which
Will work with perfect rhythm:
And brain unhampered by an Itch
For wealth he can't take with him.
I do not envy men,, "self-made,"
I think their antics funny;
I really would not wish to trade
My stomach off for money.
I'd hate to swap my appetite
For wealth which might destroy It;
For I can eat, when luck breaks right.
Fine pastry and enjoy It.

STRENGTH OF
DRUG WATCHED
Health is the birthright of man
kind, and when one is sick It is cer
tain that something Is wrong.
To right that wrong, your doctor
prescribes medicine. That medicine
la a combination of from two to
twenty drugs. '
Its effectiveness as a cure or rem
edy depends upon the potency and
strength of these drugs. Just as milk
loses Its sweetness, so do some drugs
lose their potency to correct human
Ills when old and dried and too long
kept.
Heath's has always realized that
fresh, potent drugs are often the se
cret of successful treatment and
we see to la that only such drugs
ore used In filling prescriptions. -
This code of potency, about which
we say little but do much, la your
assurance that your doctor's pre
scription will fulfill Its purpose.
