However, the loot is showing up in Berlin not Moscow. ... ; A federal sales tax, most ex perts agree, is the one sure way to provide new tax money, pain lessly, and with nobody getting out of it. It is an untapped source of national revenue that would free a tidal wave of cash. It would even catch the "liber als," so hellroaring liberal, with the public's dough, but not their own. One would surmise poli ticians of high and low degree, would embrace it like a long lost brother. No Siree! The most fearless statesmen will not mention it, favorably or unfav orably, for fear it will give them the leprosy. It makes political cowards of them all. e LOGICAL ENOUOHI (Lead (S. D.) Call) "Trolley Car Cafe. Start ing this Sunday, will be open to regular customers only. "If you can't eat our hash on week days, you can't eat our steaks on Sundays." Navy Secretary Knox over seas viewing the land and sea fronts, including the Battle of Naples, keeps the usual tight rein on his optimism, and warns the Allied public not to let it get away with them. In Algiers he stated: "The German army is as numerous today as at the start of the war. . ." Noth ing stranger than that has hap pened ln this war. If the Rus sian slaughter of the foe con tinues, it will be no time at all until A. Hitler will have too many soldiers. Something should be done about the Knoxian sur plus of pessimism. The public is reported view ing the alleged butter shortage of last year without emotion, and only normal cussing. They recall the great coffee shortage, with pictures later of Brazilians casting the surplus Into the sea and using same for fertilizer. "If a bull would only show up in my china shop," says. one merchant, "Oh, boy, would I get steaks!" (Oakland (Cal.) Tri bune.) Silver lining item. ... The second German city with a light lunch name Frankfurt, has been lambasted by Allied bombers, Ala Hamburg. It takes the .Teutonic mind back to care free days at the start of the war. when nothing more deadly than British propaganda leaflets fell on their war plants and indus trial centers. 1898 VILLAGE CUT-UPS! (Colfax (Cal.) Sentinel) "We omitted last week to mention of the cowardly trick that was played upon some of the people who came in ve hicles from Alta and Towle to attend the speaking of C. W, Kyle. Some miscreant untied several of the teams that were left standing in different parts of the street and allowed the animals to run away. The result was several broken buggies and a number of in jured horses." Males are running around with gay rooster feathers in the bands of their new fall hats None as yet have strolled by the laundry and been shot for Chinese pheasant. "Is not the general oubll Impatience with Vice President Wallace one more sign that we are now ready to return to orderly ways of doing things?" . (N. Y. Herald-Tribune.) Be sides the squirrels have plenty of food without any more of his Utopian notions. The oldest scientific Institu tion on the Pacific coast is the California Academy of Sciences In San Francisco, Incorporated in IBM. A Practical Way To Help There Is an old-time popular song the refrain of which went something like this: "Any rags, any bones, any bottles today?" The ditty mieht be brought up to date and broadcast over Southern rOR there is a crying need for various and sundry F articles, the majority of which can't be pur chased but are greatly needed by young men in training and their contribution would be a genuine aid to -local military morale and the national war effort. VES, just as "all work and no play" makes Jack a dull boy in civilian life, a similar routine makes Jack a poor soldier All competent military A bored, discontented The soldier deprived of sions or activities is nine times out of ten, just THAT. So here is a genuine of Medford and Southern Oregon to raise the morale cf the army yes and the navy. and at the same time clean up their premises of odds and ends which are not being utilized, sand in most cases just taking up storage space. So-o-o, "Any rags, any bones, any And any drums, any tenor-saxophones, any trumpets or bass-fiddles for the convalescnts at the Camp White station hospital? (These are not needed by the camp band but the hospitalized men.) Also . . . any second hand furniture, lamps, tables, chairs, couches, smoking-stands, card tables or games? The latter are especially needed by the "forgot ten men" of the Coast Guard who to the west are patrolling the Oregon coast day and night, a very necessary job and perhaps A " l extremely aangeroua one. 'FORGOTTEN men" , because their headquarters are in isolated, out-of-the-way places far from cities or towns therefore deprived of entertainments or social contacts of any. kind what has been done for the army and navy in populated districts has not been done for them. The Red Cross, through the Jackson ' County chapter of the Siskiyou Camp and Hospital Council has undertaken the task of making up for this deficiency. They have agreed to supply various day rooms, and furnish them attended to but thus far the furnishings have been conspicuous by their absence, and obviously day rooms without furnishings are about as satisfactory as box springs without mattresses. CO the appeal is sent out for these articles, people throughout this part of the state with any to spare are asked to contribute them, and the Mail Inbune is glad to endorse and enthusiastically support such a worthy effort.

The more they, enjoy overtrained and overstrained the better for their part in the war effort. And their part, giving the boys at the front the tools they need and also keep ing up their spirits, is important. . ee.ee CO we are glad today to welcome a mid-war world series between those old baseball standbys the Cardinals and the Yankees, and hope that this great sporting classic will be its usual success and the series continue for .the duration. ( We also hope the New will not be entirely abandoned and the sport of kings known as horse racing will be continued where it can be. This has been the practice in England, and cer tainly where national morale is concerned there is no higher mark to shoot at British Isles. And the reason is not difficult to determine A certain amount of relaxation and diversion, par ticularly out-of-doors and of the stimulating, whole some type, far from impairing the mass war effort, renews and stimulates it.

(U.R) A dis appointed Insurance broker, mo tivated by a two-year-old grudge, walked Into the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company offices in the Field building and shot and killed Walter Habe- nicht, 45, office supervisor, Arrested a few hours after the shooting late yesterday.

Physiology (Oxford University Press) calcium is not only essen tial for ossifica tlon of bone, but 1 s neces sary for ade quate contrac tion of heart muscle, for clotting of blood, regu lates excitabil ity of nerve fi bres and nerve centres and diminishes oer- Dt. Brady meability o f capillary endothelium. Recently a feller wrote me that he had suffered with neu ritis, tried "most everything, in cluding some big shot special ists," and all the treatment showed no results. So the feller began taking calcium, following a suggestion in my column, I gainer, ana He was "cured in ten days and no return of trou ble since." Now that may be all In good order arid perfectly true, but again I wonder Just what the last doctor or specialist the fel ler consulted did for him. Also I wonder whether the "neuritis" or whatever the trouble was had not run its course about the time the feller began taking cal cium. Then there are manv nermna of middle, age or older who sut ler frequently from eramne In the legs, sometimes in the arms, usually in the night. Generally these persons find relief after a few days of such calcium feed ing, in some cases after a single dose of calcium and vitamin D taken at bedtime. Reason for the vitamin n with calcium is that vitamin D is always essential for the nor mal assimilation or utilization of calcium, whether food calcium or calcium taken medicinally. may De mat vitamin D alone would give the same result. provided the diet includes ade- News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued from Page One) lians and others. Their officers and men are our allies and we fight well with them, perhaps closer than any other two na tions ever fought in history, but each watches out for its own in terests. Civilian employes In the gov ernment diplomatic corps and elsewhere seldom have worked on this basis. Generally, they have been either too weak-kneed or gullible. They think no one could say or do anything re alistic about the British or Rus sians without being anti-British or anti-Russian, although it is obvious the British and Russians do not have that attitude toward us. For Instance, not much Is said about the help that Russia could give us by granting bases for use against Japan, but much about our failure to help Russia enough. . Such an Idea of protecting American Interests erroneously has been thought to be Isolation ist, and, Indeed, some criticism of the returning senators has taken that slant. But the group Was not made up by isolationists. Indeed, one of the members was such a strong administration New Deal and Internationalist as Russell of Georgia, who has been accused of being pro-Brit ish in the past, e THE weight of these opinions Incidentally along the line hewed for weeks and months past by this column. In fact, since the beginning of this war) will be felt not only In congress but probably throughout the government. The senators, for Instance, be came Interested In the value of Island bases around the world both from commercial. and mili tary aviation standpoints. The dots on the south Pacific will assume Importance In the fu ture air world comparable to their military value today. Prac tically all of these, of courso are in the hands of either the British or Jrtcanese. And, for another thing, this new senatorial viewpoint may be felt in the Office of War Infor mation. The senators felt that OWI has pursued too timorous a policy for fear of arousing for eign opposition even to the ex tent of giving the British credit beyond the Americans, or at least not sufficiently pressing home the American accomplish ments as well as the British do theirs.

These cramps in the calves or feet, sometimes in the arms or hands, are a manifestation of the deficiency disease known as tetany (not to be confused with tetanus, lockjaw). Tetany is more commonly recognized, at least In infants., Some young adults have vague aches or pains in the legs, "nervous restless legs," as one described it, which spell mild tetany and which persist unless the calcium metabolism is corrected as indicated.

As Americans, British, Chinese and Indians begin the repenetratlon and voices of ma chlneguns and artillery once more shout across her plain and jungles, - bombing will beat a crescendo. In this peacetime summer capital of India, 7,000 feet up in the Himalayan foothills, Brit ish and Burmese administrators are planning the country's re construction. As pertinen back ground they must know, and are learning, what it s like in Japanese-occupied Burma. I came from Allied outposts on the Burma, border to hear the an swers.' Most of their Information comes from refugees. Much of what they say is dubious infor mation and officials said it often tends to be exaggerated. Burma-wise Police Inspector General R. G. S. Prescott, who was at the helm in Rangoon during demolition of important installations a few hours before the Japanese moved in, empha sized, "Most of our information come from areas closest to In dia; very little from the more 'sophisticated' . central plain? Persons escaping to India usu ally had hidden for months and hadn't seen much of the situa tion." However, the administrators themselves ' know how thor oughly Burma was razed dur ing the 1942 campaign, for many of them saw hot winds fanning the flames of bombed towns almost all the important ones and some participated In "scorching" Rangoon's port and power house, the great Ava bridge on the Irrawaddy, oil fields at Yenangyaung, Chauk and Lanywa and mines at Baw din and Mawchi.

Storekeeper erncui e. s. maw rsoTossArH Allied Coming Japanese Yoke greedy overlord, Burma today gendered by Japanese adminis tration. Different officials em phasized some points and min imized others, but generally agreed on the following: - The bottom has fallen out of Burma's economy, since it Is a single-crop (rice)' agricultural country which annually export ed more than 3,500,000 tons, which the Japanese are now unable to take because of lack of transportation. Diseases both human and cattle have spread because of Japanese failure to provide medicinal stocks and their prac tice of mnoculatlng civilians only in towns- where troops are garrisoned. There has been almost no Importation of consumers' goods, creating extreme commodity scarcity, especially' cloth, and skyrocketing prices. Banditry and lawlessness have Increased with the breakdown of administrative and - police machinery and use of arms and ammunition picked up from battlefields. Japanese troops have billeted themselves on villages for weeks at a time, depleted their food stocks, raped their women, then moved on. Allied bombing is a curse for which the Burmese blame the Japanese. .In land that Is 84 per cent ardently Buddhist, th Japanese are using the priests (pongyls) as a medium for circulating and giving ethical sanction to their edicts, a practice which is arous ing Burmese resentment. The Japanese have done little administratively to benefit Bur I. ese civilians, "in a sense good propaganda, since they claim they are not interfering in local government. Most Burmese, . except bandit Dad nats ana a few politicians rattening under Japanese sup port, are ready and would fight for a house-cleaning, all ob servers agreed. But Burma is In straitiacket. It's up to the Allied In India and China, equipped to wet Japan s war machine, to call the next trick. BIRTHS M'KINNEY To.

Of course it wouldn't do to wait un til the moving object came out in clear view because it might not be a deer after all, end that would be disappointing. Besides, one has to pay good money for the privilege of killing a deer, and who wants to come back to camp emnty-handed and not stet their money's worth? It's against the law to kill a -deer without a license, but ap parently there is no law against killing a man or the family cow, providing it was "accidental." Of course, the killer, Is always retjentant. erlef-strlrkon and ry. Naturally. But does that help i mo unionunate widow and chll- -dren who have to face the futui without bread-winner? But someone says It's unfor tunate, but accidents do hap pen." BoShl I dntlht it thar was a hunter killed by his com panion purely py accident. "Ac cidents" are unpreventable, but killing your best friend, father or son "because he looked Ilk deer" is -criminal negligence and should be punished in some way or other.
