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."

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.

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?

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

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

berries, raspberries, c a r r o t s, i
Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, '
cherries, lemons, oranges

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.

will be a vlrtusl transplsntatlon of

"These simple African natives
are puzzled by the white man's
war. The coming of civilization
stopped their lnter-tribal strife,
and now they live in peace and
security instead of periodically
killing each other off in battle.
"They can't understand why
the white man, who brought
civilization to them, doesn't do
likewise."

have to go to war and get killed

They have Indeed a long,
long road to travel before reach

TTWO questions at this point:
1. Does this road they must
travel lead upward or down
