Fight Against Infantile Paralysis "THE opportunity is again at hand for citizens of Medford and Jackson county to join with other communities and counties throughout the nation in the "Fight Infantile Paralysis" campaign. On the evening of Tuesday, January 30, the birth day of the President, a dance will be held in Med ford ; similar events will be featured in various com munities of this county, and the proceeds will be spent HERE in combatting the dread disease, and nation ally for research, epidemic control, care of patients who have already contracted infantile paralysis, and for aiding orthopedic centers, hospitals and clinics. ..... A ND, simultaneous with this birthday celebration, a "March of Dimes" will be launched to counter the march of this body-crippling disease. In other words, America is conducting a real WAR against the invisible foe a foe that strikes most often at innocent boys and girls and usually leaves them with warped and twisted bodies: with minds filled with bitter disappointment and despair. a xoe mai Dars mousanas 01 pathetic youngsters from mature years of happiness and social usefulness. . . CEVERAL organizations, notably the Shrine, have assumed responsibility for this fight in recent years. After all, it's EVERYONE'S fight and ALL should assume a share of the responsibility if victory is to be achieved : Infantile paralysis inspires dread in the heart of all parents who fully realize how quickly it can con vert THEIR happy, . healthy children into trade, mis shapen cripples. Thus, it should be everyone's desire to support a program that aims at the CONTROL of the disease and seeks to provide the RIGHT care for all who are afflicted. THOUGH the nation-wide campaign was launched by President Roosevelt who certainly KNOWS the tragedy that infantile paralysis can bring and the annual drive for funds occurs on his birthday. there is, most assuredly, nothing POLITICAL, nor anything PERSONAL in the program instead it is an absolutely nonpartisan NEW DEAL for those who have been afflicted and those who may be unfortu nate victims in montns to come. ..... CINCE the establishment of the National Foundation J for Infantile Paralysis, January 3rd, 193S, more than a MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS have been secured for the national campaign PLUS a HALF MILLION DOLLARS for the use of individual communities in meeting their immediate needs. The Foundaton's money has been well spent for virus and other types of research and the prevention and treatment of "after-effects," for education and for public health in instances of education. In other words, to the medical profession the latest knowledge of science has been brought to ex pedite early diagnosis; antiquated methods of caring for those afflicted are being supplanted with new, scientific treatment so that the aftermath of human wreckage may be substantially reduced. ...'. DHYSICAL therapeutists and surgeons have found that, by quick and accurate diagnosis, and by proper treatment in its acute stage, astounding results in preventing deformities from infantile paralysis are now possible. So, dollars spent at the brthday dance, and dimes which join the march to Washington, will pav DIVI DENDS IN HUMAN LIVES ! ..... JACKSON county, too, will have a fifty-fifty share " m the money raised here, and this money will be well spent RIGHT HERE under the experienced and able supervision of the Jackson County Public Health association. So, it is earnestly hoped that a greater number of Jackson county citizens than ever before will give both moral and financial support to such a worthy cause this year. Be sure to "dance that others may walk" or join the "March of Dimes" and help to deliver another telling blow at "childhood's enemv number one." -H. G. A Wise Republican Speaks THERE is no more staunch and loyal Republican 1 than William Allen White of the Emporia (Kan sas) Gazette, who for many years has had a major part in composing the platforms of his partv and vet listen to what he has to say of Secretary Cordoll Hull and his trade treaties. Mr. White!: The wisest statesman in the Roosevelt administration is Cordoll Hull. He has a cause, the cause of trade agreements with South American countries. These agreements are in tended not only to extend American trade but to extend American good-will and to bind this hemisphere eventually in an economic union. It is a great cause, but of course It arouses the antag onism of powerful Interests, certain phases of agriculture, for Instance, and mine owners, to cite another. But never theless, if we can weave a web of commercial confidence. trust and trading across the equator to our southern neigh- i Dors, our grandchildren will see a closer union slowlv srow out of these Hull treaties. That union will be a union of peace as the union of states is in our country' today. So Statesman Hull announced yesterday that lie is not a candidate for president. It would have been casv (or a cheap man to say: "I will dramatize my cause bv taking it to the people." That is vanity. But to sav: "I will not be a candidate." means that he will not thrust the issue of this great cause into the campaign, riding or falling by his name It will have to go on the power of its own reasonableness There Is a statesman. Cordell Hull is a great figure, one of the really wise and powerful secretaries of stJito. whose name will live with the best of them, with Root, with Hav, with Olney. with Blaine, with Bavard.

Beverly Hills, Calif, NOW WE CAN FORGET OXALIC ACID Occasionally some fustian practitioner still reports a case of alleged "gout," trouble, which he brazenly as cribes to ex cessive forma tion or reten tion of uric acid or to dep osition of the mono sodium salt of uric acid in the body tissues. This despite the fact that since the in troduction o f precise chemical tests in place of the old theory and guesswork the notion that uric acid causes any disease has been discarded. If any excess of uric acid is formed or retained in the body under any circumstances It is only of the manifestations or effects of the disease or the de ranged metabolism if this is not the sound interpretation of the matter then medical science is sheer hooey. In the face of the present scientific knowledge of metabolism it Is a sad com mentary on the progress of Medicine that any doctor has the cheek to imply that uric acid is the cause of a pathologi cal condition the true nature of which is obscure to him. In nu merous conditions which no one associates with gout as high or nigner proportions of uric acid are found In blood and urine j are reported In cases of al leged gout. But then, most well Informed practitioners forgot gout and the uric acid vagary long ago. Now we can forget also the oxalic acid fantasy, the notion that certain foods, reputed to contain oxaltic acid, are harm ful or dangerous to eat, because oxalic acid is poisonous. Like many other doctors I have dawdled with the oxalic acid theory in a number of cases where, as the course of the Ill ness proved, I should have been trying to find out what really was the matter. Most of the popular concern about oxalic acid In foods is referable, it seems to me, to the constant assertion in the vast quantity, of health literature distributed in promoting the business of a large sanitarium: Rhubarb (pieplant) is poisonous because it contains so much ox alic acid. This appeals to thou sands who are rather fond of rhubarb as a sauce or In the form of pie, but, by gum, when you come to think of It there is a tart flavor in it, isn't there? THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. In credible as it may seem to their rather numerous enemies, Thomas G. Corcoran and Ben jamin V. Cohen are now telling their friends that they will leave the government on January 1, 1941, come hell or high water. The new deal team are leading promoters of the third term movement, and still confidently expect the president to run again and to be reelected. But, for themselves, they say they are through. Their protestations will be loudly mocked, of course, by those who regard the third term movement solely as an effort bv such men as Corcoran and Cohen to save their new deal Jobs. Even for the team's associates it is a little difficult to conceive of their departure, should their I expectations be fulfilled and abulm their reputation reelected nreslHnnt nr, ).. ful actlvtsta of the administration. ... 1 n.? .""'TlThe reputation 1. no longer wholly m.i. .u. . . , ! mains that they are extremelv specific and positive about their plans to go.

Maybe you had better eschew the pleasure of eating rhubarb if the stuff Is so terribly pois onous. It is quite true that many foods contain oxalate of lime (usually computed in terms of oxalic add), among them rhu- j barb, sorrel spinach, beet j greens, prunes, currants, straw-1 berries, raspberries, c a r r o t s, i Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, ' cherries, lemons, oranges gooseberries, plums, dried figs chicory greens (escarole), en dive, lettuce, potatoes, bread beans, coffee, pepper, cocoa, tea, etc. Tomatoes? Sure, a little But who cares? The oxalate In foods is something to get steam ed up about if you're training for a sojourn in the sanitarium. Oxalic acid is a normal con stituent of blood and urine, and probably, like citric acid, it is formed in metabolism. Perhaps a few of the old timers in the medical profession will continue for years bemus ing unsophisticated customers with the oxaluria vagary, but that sort of quackery has to end eventually. qiestions ,sn answers.

Corcoran and CohVn are both convinced that young men from the Roosevelt administration can Imitate Cotton and his eon feres. The team Is known to have ade quate financing ready If they choose to go Into the law business on their own. Even the firm nsme has been decided on. It will be simply Corcoran and Cohen, unless Attorney General-designate Robert H. Jack, son is by then out of politics. In which case he will become senior partner, and the firm will be Jack son. Corcoran and Cohen. Eight or nine of the young men brought Into the government by Corcoran and Cohen have also been asked to Join the firm. If established. It will be a vlrtusl transplsntatlon of the new deal group from Washington to Wall street. Corcoran's and Cohen's reasons are fairly obvious for saying they want to go next January 1.
