The Best Christmas Gift of All
IT is the time of year to buy Christmas tuberculosis seals.
This season, when the holiday spirit of giving is very much
in our hearts, is an appropriate
seals, for, in buying the little tuberculosis stamps, we are giving
the greatest of all gifts HEALTH to unfortunate thousands
who have contracted the dread disease.
The importance of the Christmas seal sale In advancing the
humanitarian fight against tuberculosis, has been stressed each
year. A reminder that NOW is the time to buy seals is all that
should be necessary.
IT is In order, however, to refresh our minds on the progress of
this well organized fight against tuberculosis.
Encouraging progress HAS been made, here and throughout
the nation. Other nations have kept pace; especially outstanding
has been the record in our neighboring Dominion of Canada.
Thirty-five years ago, when a determined little band launched
this drive against "consumption", 201 out of every 100,000 per
sons died of this disease. Then there was no known cure and no
preventive vaccine. '
The fight has been waged through the years, unrelentingly,
since the formation of the National Tuberculosis Association in
1904 and, while the disease has not yet been conquered, it Is an
encouraging fact that only 49 out of every 100,000 persons
died during 1938.
And, since 1907, the little Christmas seals, with the distin
guishing Lorraine Cross, have played a heroic role in the crusade.
WHILE splendid progress is being made in this well organized
fight against tuberculosis, it is still serious to the point of
becoming a challenge to this and future generations.
True, it has fallen from its former role as public enemy num
ber one to seventh place among the causes of death, yet the fact
that nearly 40,000 deaths from tuberculosis occur each year in
the age group of 15 to 45 years is ample reason why the campaign
should be pushed more energetically than ever. Tuberculosis is, in
fact, the greatest killer in this age group.
Here's another startling fact! It is estimated that this nation
has a HALF MILLION ACTIVE CASES RIGHT NOW!
IT Is also in order that we emphasize the fuct that tuberculosis
l does NOT "run in the family" it is not inherited; instead,
each case comes from another case.
In the early stages this insidious disease is difficult to diagnose;
easy to cure. Advanced tuberculosis, however,is easy to diag
nose; difficult to cure. We know not when or where it will
strike; it respects neither color nor creed.
Thus, it is always wise to be alert for the slightest symptom.
Periodical check-ups with family physicians are just another
sensible precaution. An enlightened public can do much toward
stamping out tuberculosis!
THE Jackson County Public Health association, working in
close cooperation with 2,000 similar organizations in the United
States, has established a highly gratifying record In this fight.
Jackson county's death rate from tuberculosis is far below
that of Oregon and of the nation as a whole!
Thanks to the response of a generous community to former
Christmas seal sales, tuberculosis is ON THE RUN In Jackson
county ... a successful sale this year will KEEP it on the run!
THERE'S another important reason why the 1939 seal campaign
must be a successful one. The Jackson County Public Health
association, in step with a nation-wide program, will undertake
new strategy in this tuberculosis fight . . . REHABILITATION
work for those who hove won their individual struggle with the
disease!
In a nutshell, this program seeks to open avenues of gainful
employment and social usefulness for former tuberculosis suf
ferers, making certain that their new employment will not
endanger their restored health.
National surveys have revealed that 50 per cent of those
persons cured of tuberculosis in past years, have died during the
five ensuing years because they were forced to continue their
former jobs, frequently detrimental to their health.
THE new project of the national association, and the local one.
will provide training in less fatiguing fields of endeavor
and assure the necessities of life while this period of training is
underway.
There is a moral obligation involved in this work. The health
of tuberculosis sufferers MUST be safeguarded AFTER cures
have been effected. Likewise, the public has a sizable investment
In every person cured in a public tuberculosis hospital and it's
Just sound business to protect that investment.
And soi our full support of the Christmas seal sale will mean
the continuance of the local tuberculosis control program, the
advancement of the valuable rehabilitation work and the further
ing of highly necessary medical research in university and other
scientific laboratories In Oregon and throughout the nation. A
small but Important shBre of local money Is devoted each year
to this national research.
""VNE dollar the cost of a sheet of 100 Christmas seals
small sum to spend in so good a cause.
Be sure to send In your check for the Christmas seals sent to
YOUR home; if you can afford It, buy additional sheets. There's
a place on every letter and package for at least ONE of these
little tuberculosis stamps! It's a grand way to spread Christmas
cheer and HEALTH! H. G.

HOMELY REMEDY
Enuresis, doctors call it, pro
nouncing it n-u-ree-sis. It is" more
familiary called bed-wetting. A
normal occurence or habit in
infancy, of course. Some infants
learn or acquire sufficient con
trol over the
function of
micturition to
become dry
before they
are two years
old. JBut many
babies contin-
ue to wet the
bed more or
less until they
are three years
old, and that
cannot be con
sidered abnor
mal. That is, there is no occasion
for any kind of treatment cr
special concern if the baby does
not cease wetting the bed until
three years of age. If the habit
continues after that age, then
treatment is advisable.
I say the habit. Parents and
others should comprehend clear
ly that wetting the bed in child
hood is not a "weakness" nor
an illness, but in most instances
merely a habit, over which the
child has no more control than
an adult has over, say, the con
stipation habit It takes an "elo
quent psychologist to convince
the average victim of the latter
habit that it is only a habit.
I wrote asking for your
monograph on bed wetting,, re
ceived It and sent it to a friend
whose fine boy of fifteen was
afflicted, reports Mrs. H. F. D.
The boy's mother had been told
by the doctor in the small town
where they live that the boy
would never get over it. How
ever, she began giving him
quinine as you suggested, in the
monograph, and it did the trick.
He is now 16 V4 years "old, grow
ing quite tall, doing fine in
school, and only once in a great
while for a year has the acci
dent happened. . .
Quinine sulphate, one grain,
in capsule, pill or tablet, twice
daily, before or after breakfast
ond supper, for children under
six years of age; . three times
daily for children over eight
years of age. This should be
continued steadily for several
months. ' "
The effects of quinine have
been equally satisfactory In
many cases of bed wetting in
children. Quinine helps to re
store normal tone to the irri
table nerve-muscle apparatus of
the bladder-emptying function.

Washington, Dec. 11. John
Nance Garner is telling his
friends that, If he is not nomin

through with politics. Ho will
retire to his Uvalde squlre

acres, hunt for Texas deer and
angle for Texas fish after the
manner of a lusty Cinclnnatus.
Meanwhile he Is a candidate for

Such Is the final stage of the
Garner candidacy, which has
gone throtiRh a curious trans

FOR IRKSOME HABIT
It tones the inhibitory nerve
center In the spinal cord which
controls micturition.
It will do no harm to try the
quinine treatment in any case
of bed wetting. But parents
should send a stamped envelope
bearing the correct address and
ask for the monograph or pam
phlet on the habit of bed wet
ting. It gives other suggestions
as to the character of the child's
diet, drinking water, correcting
the common deficiency of cal
cium and vitamin D, and a clock
schedule for the child to follow
to train the bladder function to
regularity.

an Immense compensating following
among normally Republican voters
charmed by the Impressive Garner
build-up In the newspapers. Many
Republican leaders are finding dis
quieting truth In the white House
gibe, that "Jack Garner Is the best
Republlcsn candidate we have."
Moreover, Garner la a colorful aa
well aa a potent political person
ality. He authentically has the kind
of rich regional flavor that Calvin
Cooltdge used for scenery. His
speech would be admirable dialogue
for a "down east" of the cattle
country. When he wants to tell the
president to let business alone, he
says that the cattle might to be
allowed to rest and take on fat In

These echoea of an earlier Amer

note for a man who Is essentlslly
a "back to normalcy" candidate. Of
such stuff are political assets made
In fact. Garner would be an ex
cellent bet If It were not for the

But the president plainly Is rot will

By Frank Jenkins.
TTHE Daily Worker, communist
newspaper published In New
York, says the "plight of the
Finnish people can be laid at
the doorstep of President Roose
velt.
As an absurdity, that ranks
with the statement thut big Rus
sia went to war because little
Finland was attacking her and
she had to defend herself.
THE statement that little Fin
land deliberately attacked
big Russia was made by com
munists in Moscow. The state
ment that Roosevelt is responsi
ble for the sad plight of the
Finns is made by communists
In New York.
The idea of the communist
big shots seems to be something
like this: "Tell the saps ANY
THING. They'll believe it BE
CAUSE THEY'RE SAPS."
(These big shots are probably
lght. Anyone who would delib
erately destroy what we have
in this country in order to ob
tain in exchange WHAT RUS
SIA HAS could hardly be
classed otherwise than as a sap.)
""THIS rather interesting dis
patch comes from Toronto,
in Canada:
"Finnish soldiers and civil
ians are singing a new patriotic
song of which the English trans
lation Would be: 'Roosevelt le a
very good man and he is coming
to neip us according to Leonard
SiDOnen. 35-Venr-nlH Finnish.
Canadian, who has just returned
irom riniand, where he went
to get his daughter."
Siponen savs the Finns nrp
fighting against hopeless odds,
convinced mat if they can hold
off the Russians until enrino
active help will come from the
united states. If help fails to
arrive, he adds, his homeland
will be crushed beyond hope of
restoration.
IF America's strongly express-
ed sympathy with Finland
has led the Finns to think we're
coming to help with our army
and navv. if thnv'll lust hniA
out long enough, it's a tragedy.
Each day that passes makes it
plainer that the people of the
United States are determined to
stay out of this war, which they
had no hand in starting.
A LONG that line, Robert M.
" LaFollette and Ham Fish
held a debate in Seattle Friday
night, which turned out to be
not much of a debate because
the question was whether the
United States should - get into
the war and both debaters were
on the same side.
A debate on that question
anywhere would probably turn
out the same way.
