A number of rural resi dents have been noted with Dr. Jane'a Almanacs. Did Laval Kill Parian? Who Bhot Darlan? That did the assassin of the French leader, represent? Ac this writing the answer is not known, or if known is kept a military So here we have another FOLLOWING the Sherlock Holmes method of pre ceding induction by the answer first, by asking What nation did NOT Roosevelt's "first degree murder?" Well first and foremost, the United States. That is easy. The United international assassination, the U. S. choice. So Uncle Sam is out How about J ohn Bull ? WELL, nnrl i John did not and frankly said so; stances, did not feel disposed to register any protest This invasion of North Africa was President Roose velt's own idea in the first place, and he and General Eisenhower, Britain conceded, therefore had the right to deal with Darlan as they saw fit. So it is pretty safe to eliminate Britain. FROM now on. however, For it appears almost certain this lad, who has already paid the supreme penalty for his crime, represented either the Axis, the free frencn or tne Vichy French. WHICH 7 Well, which interest is fore presumably had the strongest motive for liqui dating Hitler's former collaborationist? a e e TIE answer to the last question does not necessar llir nncnirai iVi a firaf Pnr tViora in ti a rlnurif In Mir opinion, which interest is death of Darlan. Without Free French! Not only did the Free Darlan as a traitor to France but as long as Darlan was in supreme power in Africa General De Gaulle was out, the two men were violent personal enem ies, and there was no chance whatever of any effect ive reapproachment OUT with Darlan gone, everything is smooth sailing. While General Giraud may be nominally the new leader of the French in Africa, the Free French under De Gaulle undoubtedly will really control the situa tion and naturally that is what the Free French want This French unity also, again as we see it, materi ally benefits the allied cause in the African struggle. So from the standpoint of the interest most beneiit ted, there is no reasonable doubt of the culprit, the Free French 1 BUT from the standpoint CM IV A When he switched from Darlan, made mortal enemies of two particularly un principled, venemous and vindictive cut-throats, Hitler and Laval. There is little doubt that signed up with General Eisenhower, these two men, vowed to "get" Darlan, if they never did -anything else 1 There is, also, little doubt they both did everything in their power, either separ ately or together, to bring this about And in their hate and rage it is doubtful if either figured very clearly about the exact political results. They had been as well as the criminal underworld, that is the unfor givable sin, the one stransgression that can only be expiated by sudden and violent death. From then on Darlan' was MARKED! DUT which side "got" him? Well here we come to pure guess, and our guess is Laval, and the rad ical pro-Nazi group in France behind him. Hot only because a former member of the Laval gang had betrayed the boss, Hitler had the organization of not only hatching such a plot, but far more im portant, CARRYING it out bo, Mr. President if you of this foul murder in the first degree, we would sug gest the first step be, to round up Herr Hitler's special representative in Paris, France, M. Laval! Which Cause Next in public interest to Darlan, comes the question North Africa will be. This has been indicated fail to see how the death of the French leader can fail to benefit the allied cause and iniure the cause of the Axis. For while we never doubted Darlan's ESSENTIAL loyalty to France, as long as he remained in control of the French forces in Africa, he was, to say the least, what might be termed a thorn in the United Nations' flesh.

Whoever their new commander will be, he will NOT be an ex-Hitler stooge, he WILL be, as far as any past or present sympathy with the AXIS IS CONCERNED, entirely above suspicion. As a result the rift in Africa that did exist will entirely disappear, there will be complete unity, spiritually as well as physically, which can't fail but stimulate and strengthen the allied cause, and for the Axis do exactly the reverse.

ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE STOMACH An Important part of my med- leal education was the debates I had with father, who was a very good black smith and nev er fully recov ered from the shock of learn ing that I in tended to east my first presi dential vote for William Jen nlngs Bryan at least, father made me prom ise, I would not let It get out among my Or. Brady prospective patients. Father would ask me what causes, say, typhoid fever, and like a good sophomore I would give him a detailed and aston ishing description of the life and character of B. typhosus, and once I got warmed up I kept go ing on and on, until finally fa ther would raise his hand for a pause, and before I coud get a good full breath he would affirm that all disease begins In the stomach. At this Juncture father would take down a box from the shelf, and show me a supply of choice white sand. He would proceed to swallow a couple of spoonfuls of the sand and urge me to try It. But I never conceded that the human crop required sand or gravel as an aid to digestion, although I must say father seemed to thrive on it for many years. Whether his sand-eating two or three spoonsful a day for many years had anything to do with the fact that he finally de veloped sarcoma, the most rap idly fatal form of cancer, in the abdominal wall and the Intestine, I don't know. Many readers have assured me that they have eaten sand like that for years and apparently with benefit to health. Nobody knows the cause of cancer. Some reader sends me a cony of a book by a charlatan recently deceased, and pencils on the fly leaf "To a Progressive Thinker. This book may lend some new ideas to your studies. The charlatan who wrote the book was exploited by a shrewd capitalist who knew how to sep arate credulous people from their loose money. The charalatan chatters in a style which probably pleases the unwary layman whose knowl edge of physiology and hygiene Is limited, but whether the sub ject be skin disease, "colds," (Continued from Pago One) sagebrush country), as only 120 miles of hard surface road has been built The ranchers are having trou ble with ODT and the "certifi cate of war emergency." The farmers say what gasoline they need and the clerks In Detroit cut it down. For example, a big livestock company specified that it requires 18.000 gallons a year: the Detroiters chopped it to 4980 gallons. Another stockman applied for S0O0 gallons, was re duced to ISO. A setUer who ap plied for 13.000 gallons was ap proved for 8360. By mistake, a rancher asked for 40,000 gallnns and back came word from De troit allowing him 38,000 gal lons. The applicants must also state how far the farm home is from the mailbox and when the ranchers waite two, three or four miles the bureau in Detroit De funny. The farmers in this particular county (and they speak for farmers elsewhere in the northwest) have notified the department of agriculture that f-aj jr ' M jg -at! w OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1942 Brady. M. D. "rheumatism" or what have you, the cause is always some vague poison or poisons retained in your system because you don't follow the charlatan's diet and your "elimination" is faulty. According to this funny book all disease begins In the colon. So the prevention and treatment of all disease Is as simple as roll ing off from a log. You merely spend a few weeks in the charla tan's Institution, follow his pe culiar met. receive colon lrriea tlons and so on, and there you are. "If the colon Is broueht un to date and kept up to date." said the charlatan, of headaches, "half the customary headaches would disappear Immediately, for It Is In the colon that so much starchy fermentation occurs, due to the delay In discharging the unspllt sxarcnes found there." The char latan evidently felt confident his readers would not know that fer mentation of starches is a nor mal and desirable process in the colon. This Is the Dhysioloeical i rum.

EVERY army camp in the northwest Is facing a shortage of Ice cream, and the men are grip ing. Food Administrator Claude Wickard is the responsible party In this Instance. All the camps from the British Columbia line to the California border are growling. Ice cream Is one com modity that the trooper likes; it Is the best seller In the can teens. As one of the American cruisers was sinking from Jap shell fire scores of sailors dashed to the ship's canteen, filled their hata with Ice cream and then went overside. Army had to make special arrangements in England to supply Ice cream to the troops training there. To illustrate what Food Boss Wickard is doing to the soldiers: Consumption of ice cream at Camp White runs to 37,019 gal Ions and Wickard has reduced this to 8.490 gallons; the require ment at Camp Adair is 18.812 gallons, now limited to 1334 gal lons. These and other western camps are filling up with men by the thousands and these green troops want their ice cream to maintain mo 'ale. (Now it can be told: Despite recom mendations of army officials who urged placing Camp Adair in the region between Bend and Burns in a high dry country, it was located in one of the richest land sections of the Willamette valley. A couple of weeks ago this vast encampment was a mire of mud and water due to Hoods). Medford Man Surprised To Find Sister's Photo in Mail Tribune When Edward Gould, of 402 West Jackson street, perused his Mail Tribune last Tuesday eve ning he was surprised and de lighted to find a picture of his youngest aister, Mrs. Laura Wllley, of Concord. N. H., whom he has not seen for forty years. Mrs. Willey Is one of the thou sands of women taking up work formerly done by men. In order to help prosecute the war. Altho women are now engaged In many tasks about machinery. ! Mrs. Willey'a work as a saw filer in a lumber mill at Con : cord, is very unusual for her sex. The Acme News Picture service which furnishes pictures of peo ple and happenings in the news for newspapers throughout the country, believed her Job ao unique that they sent her pic ture to their newspaper clients. That is bow the MaU Tribune came to receive and publish the picture. Mr. Gould formerly resided In New England, but came to the west many years ago. His sister, now 43, is tha mother of four children. 1 USO Recreation Unit A! 218 West Main Is Open To Soldiers The new USO unit, at J18 W. Main, conducted its preliminary opening Wednesday evening with approximately 300 visitors during the afternoon and eve ning. All were surprised and de lighted at the spaciousness and furnishings of the game, read ing and writing rooms. In ad dition, there is a music room where voice recording proves popular. A short program was given, high-lighted by a group of enter tainers from Camp White. Cor poral Don Safford acted as mas ter of ceremonies. The closing address was given by Col. Wil liam S. Barker, regional director of the Salvation Army USO ac tivities in the west. Service men are beginning to get acquainted with the club and the facilities offered.
