AS THE BARBARITY or WARFARE HAD BURNED SO DEEP LY INTO THE HUMAN HEART AHU BRAIN, THERE WOULD BE NO DANGER OF FUTURE CONFLICTS ON AN EXTENSIVE SCALE. "TEN MILLION DEAD, AND TWENTY MILLION WOUNDED, WITH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS REDUCED TO THE VERGE OF POVERTY, SEEMED LESSON ENOUGH FOR ALL TIME, BUT IT WAS NOT. THE WAR LORDS WERE BEATEN, BUT THERE REMAINED THE DIPLOMATS, AND, WORSE STILL, THE PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS. THE MEN OF WORDS TOOK UP THE WORK OF MEN OF SWORDS. THE ORATOR TOOK THE PLACE OF THE GENERALS. THE GENERALS HAD REACHED THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION, BUT THERE IS NO EXHAUSTION OK THE ORATOR, WHOSE COMMAND OR VOTERS MAY BE EVERY HIT AS DANGEROUS AS THE WAR LORD'S COMMAND Or SOLDIERS." (From "It Wm for This") (Published In 18211) Communications Jmt as Plain aa Bread To the Editor; Now that the election ! over and the candidates that won the raoa aU miles and the onea that loat the race are sad, but It will all wear oil In a few days and they will be Just aa good at new, after their polishing Now let's get down and talk busi ness and make this state Just as good for Democrats to livs In as for Re publicans. As so many people ask: Where Is the money to come from to pay the Townsend transaction tai of a per cent, I will tell you a little story the story of the loaf of bread. Breed being the staff of life every one Is Interested In It. House wives all demand that their bread be fresh every day. That mesne 386 dava a year. ' The story of a loaf of bread: The grocer buys Just enough breed to run him one day. As he knows thst he must handle fresh bread only buyers are very particular these days, and he would soon lose his trade If he did not keep It In stock the grocer orders 100 loavea and pays S8.00 for them. He sella them for HO 00. At night he has his M00 bark In the till, plus 2 00 profit. The next dny he does the same thltift. This he does for 388 days aa the housewife always buys two days' supply for Sunday and holi days. But at no time has he used more than the origins! M.00 Invested In the transaction. Making S3 00 per day gross profit on his $8.00 Investment, his gross profit for the year would be 7S0. It he sells (10 worth of bread each day he would sell 36&0 worth ion his 18 00 Investment) which hsa pro duced 13660 m business as well as 730 m gross profit. This Illustrates what a dally turn over will do. If the- grocer pays a a per cent transaction tax on hla business, 9 per cent on $3090 is $73.00. The same principal applies to nil busi ness. R. J.

Ckt.nu time for Too Lte to Ciss ally Ads la M p m A Sad Armistice ""THERE is aa ironical touch to Armistice Day this year, which has never been as noticeable before. Armistice Day, supposedly marked the cessation of world hostilities, the defeat of Germany, the return of peace and good will to a conflict-torn world. For 19 years there seemed to memoration, but not today. IT is now clear November 11th, 1918, did not mark the defeat of Germany, the returnof peace and good will to a tortured world, or anything of the sort. It marked nothing but a tem porary breathing spell, an armed truce, during which the conflict was never suspended but merely took a different form. And after about one decade, devoted to getting back on its feet, Germany in the following decade proceeded without firing a shot, to win the war, that was really never concluded, the war for the mastery of Central Today, twenty years after, thought they were, on top of get more. XTOT only did Armistice Day peace and good will, but decade, there is less good will dirt, than at any period for the last hundred years. The world, instead of disarming and showing that it learned something from the slaughter its treasure, is engaged in the human history, and like a pack pell mell, for the precipice of appeal to force, when every sane person knows, force settled nothing 20 years ago, and tomorrow or today. A PRETTY sad and disheartening Armistice Day, if you should ask this column. The only hope we can see lies in the old wheeze that it's often darkest before the dawn. For from the standpoint of the future of the world, human ity, civilization, democracy or what have you a darker Armis tice Day than this has never dawned. "The New SO Brother Paul Joseph Goebbels, shouts over the microphone "The New' Germany marches on I" Speaking of irony, that certainly is a classic! The New Germany marches on, your grandpapy! There is nothing new in Germany's march, and not a step is being taken on or, forward. The inarch is directly and unmistakably BACKWARD, back to the tribal days, back to the days of the medieval feticheB and taboos, back to pagan days of Valhalla before the Christian era dawned, when the blonde warriors in their bear skins, and horned head dresses, wero as they are today in slightly different dress under Herr Hitler, "all for one and one for all!" IT'S a supreme irony indeed, that nearly two thousand years after the birth of Jesus Christ, the race that produced him, and didn't appreciate him, should be hounded and tortured and persecuted by the race that supposedly did. And that race the race that brought to the world, the Chris tian Reformation! And now Propaganda Minister Goebbels, having allowed the mobs to indulge in their sadistic spree against the "chosen people", because some obscure Jewish boy, mentally unbalanced by the cruelty and inhuman persecution of his own flesh and blood, fired a Bitot through the tate in Paris, suggests that the' Roman holiday, be called off so the police can mop up the blood and haul away the wreckage! MEANWHILE the proud and powerful totalitarian states, will go back 500 years and re-establish concentration areas for the Jewish people, known as Ghettos, where the Jews can trade among themselves, and when the "pure Nordics" feel the blood-lust urge again, satisfy it, without interfering with Certainly a pretty picture tn contemplate in tne year ot our Lord 1938.

Honest Harold did not think then that Sprague could fool the good people of Oregon, in fact was quite sure he would be beaten.

KEEP SOME CALCIUM IN Aa an antacid or alkali for the re lief of atomach acidity, heartburn, pyrosli, water brash, sour atomach, hyperehlorhydria, bloating, sense of fulness or "gaa preasure," flatu lence or belch ing, the most ef ficient and least harmful remedy, In my opinion, la calcium carbo nate, otherwise called' prepared chalk. Ten grains of this may be taken whenever needed: It wtll neutralize exces sive acidity for several hours. Or two teasooonfuls of official chalk mixture may be taken If preferred this quantity of Mlstura Cretae contains about 8 grains of calcium carbonate. Or two five-grain tablets may be preferred for convenience. Calcium carbonate officially called Creta praeparata, (U. 6. P. and B. P.) Chalk mixture alone or combined with astringent medicine Is an old standby for relief of acute diarrheal disturbances. Calcium carbonate, unlike sodium bicarbonate (soda, saleratus) and magnesia, does not generate as by reacting with the acid In the stom ach, nor 'form laxative aalta aa the product of such reaction. It does nut upset the acid-base equilibrium In the blood and tissues as does soda taken frequently. However there li no point In taking even calcium car bonate habitually unles It Is actually needed to relieve dlstreas or discom fort, for of course It does not cure anything. Flve-Rraln tablets of calcium car bonate are most convenient, but it la advisable to crush the tablets Into powder before taking. Better still, keep the powder form in the medi cine cupboard and take as a dose all you can conveniently carry on a dime. I For systemic eifect other salts of calcium are preferable. We cannot consider here the various conditions In which Increased Intake of calcium may be helpful if you desire detail ed Information aend stamped en velope beating your address and ask for "Dally Requirement of Calcium," "Calcium Feeding" or High Calcium Diet, and "The Vitamins Everybody Needs." Calcium chloride, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate and dlcal olum phosphate are suitable for sys temic effects. In any case. It Is well to take a dally ration of sunshine vitamin D along with the calcium. In order to Insure proper assimilation and utilisation of calcium.

THE MEDICINE CUPBOARD aroused In the minds of some lay men, there Is no evidence that more than enough calcium or more than enough vitamin D to maintain op timal nutrition ever causes any ser ious untoward effect whatever. That notion has been disproved by ample experience in the prolonged admin istration of far greater "overdoses" than any one la likely to take with out medical supervision. QUESTIONS ANSWERS Old Gentleman I am grateful for the Information and advice I obtained on bladder trouble. I was drifting into the pit iable state you call prostatism. Act ing on your suggestion I submitted to transurethral resection at the skilled hands of Dr. and both the doctor and I believe I am now good for another thirty years as a gentle man I Tour fine touch of humor la a great blessing, sir. W. L. O. Answer Your letter gives me much happiness. I'll be glad to send the blue folder to any man who Is drift ing In that direction. If he asks for it and incloses a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing his address. The man past middle age who drifts Just hasn't what It takes to be a gentle man. Aw, Now, Please, Jean Since you wrote In the paper where every one can read It, about me being a smelling-salts, hoop-skirt girl, I'm becoming more and more the cling ing vine type but what can a girl do? Mother has even gone and put wheels on the garbage pall?" Miss J. C. W. Answer I was afraid of that. May be we should not have applauded so heartily when mother set up the porch swing in the living room. May be we should forget "Odd House" now. There is limit to our readers' tolerance. . ' Blood Will Tell Just returned from a visit to my native Scotland. Before I left your booklet, "The Constipation Habit" had cured me of the lifelong habit. I passed It along to several friends over there and they were grateful as weu as surprised at the simple way that trouble may be overcome. G. R. Answer It would simplify distribu tion problem if the Scandinavians and the Irish In America would fol low your method. An edition of a dozen copies would meet all require ments. Lacking such a scheme of co operative buying, the simple custom er has to slip me ten cents and a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing his address, for a copy of the booklet. Copyright 1938, John F.

Ugh I Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS a friend said this morning: "Well, It shouldn't be hard for a Re publican and a conservative to write a column today." He was right. It Is an easy and pleasant task. It looks as if the country la moving back toward sanity. pOR which let us all be thankful. This Is our country, and It couldn't go on as It was going with out disaster. llf HAT happened? It looks aa If a tremendous lot of people decided all at once that a diet of promises puts no meat on the bones. They got tired of seeing the cow that gives the milk beaten and kicked around. Cows that are beaten and kicked around provide no cream. Americans have always been used to cream. They miss it when they don't have it. npHE two-party system, with a strong party of opposition, has been restored. There will be no more rubber-stamp legislation. No more "must" laws will be sent to congress to be passed without being read. There will be no more purges. America has GONE AMERICAN, DUT what of New York?" you ask. Less than a hundred thousand out of five and a half million votes Isn't much of a victory. And Lehman Is as much of a conservative as Dewey perhaps more so. The governor who has paid off the huge deficit be queathed to him by Roosevelt HAS to be conservative. AS to Sprague, let's send this mes maam in Tcttp: "What tin vnil think now of the man who had one foot In the grave and the other on a banana peel?" Then let's be thankful that with all the problems that still face us we have a man like Charlie Sprague In the governor's office at 8alem. 117ILL1S MAHONEY was caught In a tide that waa too strong for him to swim against. Even his color ful personality couldnt keep him afloat. Oregon has grown weary of promises. They are a slim diet. CALIFORNIA and Washington, bor- rowing the smart phrase of an eastern writer, used to refer aneer Ingly to Oregon as "the fool of the family." How about it now, neighbors? CALIFORNIA, however, . retained some common sense, defeating "ham and eggs," which would have bankrupted the state. Since Califor nia Is southern Oregon's best custom er, we have reason to be thankful for that. IF you have any doubts as-, to the meaning ' of what happened on Tuesday, take a look at the stock market reports of Wednesday. That tells the story. All over the country, the feeling la abroad that better days are ahead. Feeling that way. people rushed to buy. Buying Is the normal mood of Americans when they are feeling good about the future. Buying MAKES BUSINESS. iN conclusion, PLEASE don't regard what Is here said as gloating. It Isn't. It is the sincere expression of the belief that our country has turned a dangerous corner and la headed toward better days. If these words sound flippant, re member that surface flippancy la the natural reaction when one has escaped a grave danger. AFOUL NEW LAW WEST NEW YORK, N. J., Nov. 11.
