CBaldwin (Neb.) Ledger) The Devi! Is Sick? Berlin, April 20. Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, at a party meeting on tha eve of Adolf Hitler's 63rd birthday, called on the German people to pray for "our Fuehrer so that he may Increase and multiply his works." Well, well, are the pagan-supermen already on their knees praying to a divine power for aid? a higher power than they I From the outset there was nothing more certain, that EVENTUALLY they would be so humbled, those who sell out to the devil and his evil works, always are. But for the break to come thus early in the game, with the decisive campaign of 1942 just about to be gin, certainly comes as a stunning surprise. p'AN it be these slaughter stories from Moscow are true, the wholesale butchery of Nazis claimed by the Kremlin propaganda bureau are not mere wish ful pipe-dreams after all? Hard to believe. And yet what but FEAR based upon such losses, would so completely change the tune of the once bloodthirsty and sinister Dr. Goebbels, the chief of propaganda, who only a year ago was chasing the Christian church out of Germany, because the wor ship of a Christian God interfered with the necessary worship of the Nazi super-state and the All-Highest Fuehrer. "DRAY for our Fuehrer, so that he may increase and and multiply his works!" Might one ask with out too great risk of blasphemy, what God's reply would be, on receipt from SUCH a source of SUCH a message ! Shades of the tortured Jews and crucified Poland ! the fiendish slaughter of helpless men, women and children! the lies, the treacheries and the betrayals, the doctrine of the anti-Christ carried to its pitiless and logical conclusion ! . And now by the Grace of God, the SAINTLY Dr. Goebbels asks that such works may be multiplied! a a AN it be that history will show these self-ap-pointed apostles of Nordic supremacy these would-be conquerors of the world through terror, along the highway of death and blood and iron, can it be these "blonde warriors" so proud of their Hoaafi iifxr urVian atroirf hin re rtaa tViAiv motT of fli a 4Ntaf wvutswAA.bjr fw vtij biA nidi v a j ai tuc real test, show they lack even a beast's COURAGE! It is probably too early clusions. But if this dispatch and Nazi spirit on Adolf's 53rd birthday it certainly be gins to look that way. Joe Singer Only a couple of months ago we talked with Joe Singer as he sat at the door complained of a sore throat. It didn t seem right for Or any other ill for that acter. QNE always joked with Joe. But a sore throat, Joe assured us was no joking matter. We knew that, too, and yet somehow couldn't take it seriously. So we persisted in trying to draw Joe out regarding the general political situation, and as usual got some gems of native shrewdness concerning this or that, largely the Oregon delegation. JOE was that way. He couldn't entirely turn down a tV l o n rl rif ?n lavlr a rt orono not mart Yin moffot how wretched he might feel. And as a result we know now, we of the press often imposed upon him, and failed to appreciate the real Joe Singer, who like most of us, found life at times far from a laughing matter. A FEW days later Joe came to one of the regular " Oregon vesper sessions, he seldom missec them, still with his smile and wisecracks, but he looked far from well. Asked about the throat, Joe grinned, shook his head and remarked he had been to the hospital where they "cut it" Joe with his throat cut, drew a few laughs, in A'hich Joe tried to join but couldn't get very far. TTIEN, for the first time we realized Joe Singer WAS a sick man. Even so the report the next day was not alarming. But the throat got no better. Joe finally left his chair at the Senate door and headed for his home in Oregon. Then all his friends feared the end must be near, for nothing short of a life or death matter, would ever get Joe away from his job during a Senate ses sion. And now Joe is dead ! And because we know nothing in the world would please him more than to read the editorial in this morning's Oregonian about him, for .the Oregonian was his Rible and publicity therein, his dream of im mortality, we will close with this tribute, as deserved as it is wel! phrased : Joe Singer was what the colloquinlist calls a "character." The term was never applied to him in unfriendly meaning. It was applied in rccoiinition of a unique personality. One could not liken him to anybody one had ever met before. Picturesque of speech, quick to observe and recount the humorous side of events, shrewd In political Judgments, ready in the making of acquaintances and friends, and possessed of a Doming smile, he was for many years a figure in this com munity A gifted author could have written a best seller around Joe. He was one of the grcutett unsuxicd characters In the country. Joe had a liking for and an aptitude for politics. This liking was not expressed In aspiration to Important office, but In ambition to be In the midst of affairs having to do with the making of state and national laws. That ambition was served in the Oregon legislature and In the United States sen ate as doorkeeper and prolonged over many years not so much MEDFORD MAIL to draw any definite con others, indicate the TRUE of the U.

DIAGNOSIS Or A favorite ready-made or sec ondhand remark of tha busy practitioner who has not kept abreast of the newer knowl edge of nutri tion Is tome allusion to vi tamin pills or caps ules as "shotgun con coctions." This implies, If you are credulous enough, that a competent phy sician must first determine precisely which vitamin or vita mins may be deficient in your case and then prescribes precise "doses" of the vitamin or vita mins his examination reveals you need. The truth Is that no physician and no nutrition authority at present can determine by ex amination of a patient or by any scientific or laboratory test pre cisely which vitamin or vita mins may be deficient. The art of diagnosis is not that far advanced. In fact it Is a matter of opinion whether the symp toms or functional disturbances due to vitamin deficiencies are deficiency disease or the mani festations of some constitutional disease not related to nutrition. Of course the opinion of a phy sician is better than the opinion of a layman about that. And the opinion of a physician who had kept abreast of progress in our knowledge of nutrition Is better than the opinion of tha old-timer who still regards vita min therapy as a fad. When a vitamin deficiency Is severe enough to bring out the typical or characteristic signs and symptoms of one or an other deficiency disease, such as scurvy, rickets, berl berl (multi ple neuritis), pellagra, then of course, any doctor knows there is nothing fanciful about it, no fad or craze, and a liberal amount of the vitamin or vita mins lacking will do more good than any other treatment. What too many doctors do not seem to comprehend, however, is that for every case of such frank deficiency disease recog nized or diagnosed by a physi cian there are many thousands of cases of moderate deficiency disease, not well enough devel oped to be ticketed scurvy, pel lagra or berl beri, which never come under medical observation at all, or if they do come under medical observation it Is only casually when the patlents.hap- pen to require medical or sur gical attention for some acci dental or intercurrent trouble.

He has no reason to be thankful to the nazis for shoving Laval in over him. And what he privately thinks of La val Is only equaled by his opinion of the British. Petain shares these views, but Petain is too old now to stand up against Laval. He practl cally bowed himself out by ac cepting the new arrangement He has been subjected to con siderable behind-the-back knif ing by the rest of the Vichy crowd. He too has no reason to love the Germans. He once said he had but one ambition which must be realized before he could die happy the release of the French prisoners, but in all ne gotiations with Hitler to accom plish that aim, ha has been de ceived or circumvented. Consequently there may be considerable scrambling for posi tion among the men of Vichy with their variety of ambitions and hates, before Hitler can get his way. see A PUZZLING feature of the Vichy manipulations was the withdrawal by the French of their first communique re jecting our position. An hour or so after it was given out, an official order came through to hold it up.

DEFICIENCY And In such circumstances it Is only the physician who is alert. on the lookout for deficiency manifestations, well informed concerning the mild functional disturbances so produced, who la at all likely to recognize the patient's need for increased vita min intake. How can a medical health or nutrition authority urge the public to eat bread made of "enriched" flour (white flour to which certain vitamins have been added) and at the same time say that vitamins in pill, tablet or capsule should be tak en only under doctor's orders?

Wheat to Eat I followed a suggestion in your eolnmn, began eating wheat germ, about a pound a week, and have gained about 10 pounds in weight and feel fine. (M. E.

If you cannot or will not eat plain wheat, then at least keep a supply of wheat germ on hand and eat a tablespoon ful or two of It dally.

Zs there any harm in taking Itt (Mrs. E. D.) Answer No harm that Z know of. and no good either. What Z'd like to know Is how some folks can tell they are "full of acid." That's a morbid fancy.

The secretary wrote a tetter to ine national Skeet association saying it ahnulrl rsrrv An its activities, as good skeet shooting makes good marksmen and that curtailment of this and that would not apply to their shotguns and shells. Now, however, WPB is having its say. Shotguns are to ba turned over to home guard or ganizations; shells are verboten. The scarcity of copper and lead makes curtailment of shotgun ammunition necessary. How ever, the manufacturers and dealers have a two years' sup ply on hand and there will be no increase in price while the shells last. If the war runs longer than two years there may be an end to shells unless WPB reverses itself. Most of the larger communi ties have skeet clubs. One of the best is on Jefferson island, in Chesapeak bay, where every member is a democrat, although not all are new dealers. Presi dent Roosevelt is a member and the club built a special bedroom for him. It was there that the president on a famous occasion held a "charm" school when democrats in congress were be coming restless. see LITTLE business is expected to receive a helping hand from the army, navy and maritime commission. President Roose velt issued an executive order authorizing those departments to recommend loans. Up to now any loan made had to be through RFC with the personal approval of Jesse H. Jones. RFC insisted on good security, for Jones undertook to make sure that the government would re cover every dollar that he loaned. This has worked well with big corporations but con cerns requiring from $50,000 to $500,000 have had little success. To bypass this situation the exe cutive order was issued, and ronmmpnrlatlon bv army, navy or maritime commission will be sufficient to get the money. Noithpr nf these agencies has exercised the power yet. Some Oregon people who wlsn to un dertake important building operations on Puget sound have received the approval of all three; it is acknowledged that the menace experienced and that what they wish to do is vitally needed, but none of the agencies will assume the initiative and recommend a loan. e e e THE phosphate plant which location somewhere east of the has been under consideration for Cascades may be ordered placed In the south by WPB and get its power from TVA.

Navy is anxious that gasoline go north; WPB Is equally anxious that the chrome be brought south.
