Tuesday
If the war were over and Medford's financial
situation and prospects were as secure and favorable
as they are today, we would favor an affirmative
vote on ALL the proposals to be decided at the special
city election day after tomorrow.
For they are all desirable projects and needed ones.
And Medford today is, all in all in the best financial
condition it has ever been in as far as the relation
of fixed debt to financial resources is concerned.
But the war is NOT over 1
And until it is over and a period of appraisal and
adjustment allowed, the future is so uncertain, that
A helieve anv community should be a bit backward
about going forward in a
in the direction of greatly
debtedness.
THERE are six proposals on Tuesday's ballot,
1. Sanitary sewer Improvement bonds $ 78,000
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Sewage disposal enlargement bonds. uo,uuu
New Jackson street bridge -. - 35,000
Library enlargement bonds 102,000
Storm sewer bonds 300.000
Park Improvement bonds. 75,000
Total
As before stated these
ments, and if the skies were
on an even keel, we would
box for all of them.
And we mierht also remark, at this point, that if the
people of this community should vote affirmatively
on all of them, we seriously doubt if any serious
HARM would be done. '
BUT,
We do believe this is no time for any community
to go off the deep-end, and double its bonded debt
at one fell swoop ; unless the expenditures represent
an IMMEDIATE CRITICAL NEED. In other words
unless such expenses can't be delayed without injury.
As we see it there are only two such proposals on
the ballot.
These two are :
1. The sanitary sewer improvement and
2. Sewage Disposal enlargement.
The total expense of these two would be a little
over $300,000. But the need for such improvements is
acute; and defeat of the measures might well result
in an impairment of community health and a resulting
condition that might injure the reputation of the city
and materially retard its growth.
So we strongly urge our readers to vote : 502 and
504 YES, regardless of what they do to the rest of the
program.
As to the other measures any one of them, as we
see it, CAN wait, at least until the war is over, and
something approaching stability and normalcy have
returned.
We believe this is especially true of the storm-sewer
bonds, the largest item of expense, and the least
critically needed.
Such nri imnrovement would be desirable of course,
but we would certainly suggest to those voters who
don't favor poing the whole -
this $300,000 expense, 35 percent of the totall
e e e e e
THERE would then remain the followine items: the
now hririo-o nnrl nark. $35,000 and $75,000 each,
and the library enlargement at $102,000.
All desirable. all needed in fact, and were the
library total .at $30,000 or $50,000, we would put that
first, for here is an important educational and cultural
center of this community, the present building and
equipment being woefully inadequate.
But tn snend nearly THREE times what the present
library cost on so-called remodelling strikes this de
partment as entirely uncalled for and poor business
sense. So regretfully we place that item at the bottom
and the park and bridge at the top or this group.
The bridge and the park improvement, as we see it,
go together. If one is done the other should be, but
of the two the park of course is the more important.
a e
SO we arrive at the following recommendation :
Vote "yes" on the sewage disposal and sewer im
provement bonds, BY ALL MEANS.
The others in our judgment CAN wait.
But those who believe otherwise that other items
should be added at this time, we would list the re
mainder, according to relative desirability and im
portance as follows :
1. Park improvement.
2. New Jackson street bridge.
3. Library enlargement
4. Storm sewer bonds.

THE TOXIC PO
What purported to be a bona
fide news item appeared under
this headline:
NOTED
PHYSICIAN
SAYS:
"Toxic Poison
Cause of
Death".
The news
Item thus quot
ed "Dr. Kel
logg, M.D., L.
L.D., F.A.C.S.,
F. R. S. M., of
B a 1 1 le Creek
Sanit a r 1 u m
mm?
Dr. Brady fame" as au
thor of this absurd statement:
"Death in many instances is
caused from toxic poisons
which are generated in the
colon."
According to the dubious item
Dr. Kellogg
.... further states that
these poisons absorbed by the
system from the intestine is
(sic) the chief cause of most
chronic diseases and of prema
ture senility and decay, as well
as a very potent and predispos
ing cause of many acute mal
adies , . ." and there follows a
list of common complaints, of
course not omitting constipa
tion! I wish I might defend the fair
name of Dr. John Harvey Kel
logg from this despicable piracy,
but, darn it all, one of his books
stares me in the face one on
"Colon Hygiene" In which,
among numerous perculiar allu
sions, this one stands out em
barrassingly: "The South American Indian
poisons the points of his dead
ly arrows by dipping them
into putrid flesh. Butchers as
well as undertakers sometimes
die as the result of a small
cut made with a knife soiled
bv contact with a dead. body.
The same poisons are pro
d u c e d when putrefaction
takes place in the intestine."
Dr. Kellogg published that
thirty years ago, but even then
it was weird, for that passage
and another bear marginal notes
I made at the time. The other
passage -I marked as such is as
follows:
". . . . but it Is impossible to
have constipation without In
' testinal autointoxication. The
fact that the symptoms of
toxemia" means blood-poisoning,
the presence In the blood
of the poisonous products of
any pathogenic micro-organism,
as Sjtedman's Medical Dic
tionary defines it pathogenic
means producing disease and
micro organism means mi
crobe, bacterium, germ) . . ,
"The fact that symptoms of
toxemia do not occur In every
case is no evidence that they
are not present.
So there you are. You never
know whether the little light
goes off when you shut the re
frigerator door, do you?
Here we reach the end of our
rope Just as we are set to say
something. So, I do hope our
readers will settle for this today
another day maybe we can
gather up the loose ends.
Today no good doctor, no med
ical authority, accepts the notion
of "autointoxication". Only char
latans exploit that morbid obses
sion. QUESTIONS A ANSWERS

"Smells Like Hitler"
To the editor: Well, as this
California assembly that passed
a bill to make it possible for a
two-timing wife to adopt a child
by another man, born to her
while her husband is over seas
enduring the hardships of hell,
fighting death, blood, sweat, in
sects and filth so she can have
a tree and peaceful land to live
in. I think it's time when things
come to something like this in
the good old U.S.A. that Ameri
can mothers do something about
it.
On the other hand a woman of
that kind isn't fit to raise a child
and the sooner it is taken away
from her the better. Too many
childless homes' are only too
anxious to welcome a baby, pro
tect it and bring it up without
a blot on its name.
Also some of these women al
ready have a child by their hus
bands over there. Well no doubt
as soon as that baby's dad ar
rives home, he will take it and
make a home for it to be proud
of not-one to be ashamed of.
I can't imagine any of these
men dumb enough not to find
out about their wife's infidelity
soon after their return and many
will before. How many pf them
will live with a woman like that?
The poor things that Just had
to go to a few dances, drinking !
parties, etc., they were so bored I
and lonesome while they were
AiJivri. tome American muui
ers, do something about it. That
bill smells like Hitler to me.
