NICHOLS United Pragf uHtr Wri Washington (U.R) The pa pers 100 years ago about this time were not concerned with the doings of 3 Congress. I here was a yellow fever e p i d e mic in nearby Vir ginia. Many had died. A c cording to a c counts, 7 0 0 0 persons already had fled the Nor- Harman Nichols folk and Portsmouth areas and all of the stores in Portsmouth, at least, were boarded up. One of the pub lications spoke editorially of the "wonderful job done" by the Sisters of Charity, who "nursed the sick and comforted the af- G OF THE NEW HIGHLAND GROCERY AT HIGHLAND AVE. & SISKIYOU BLVD.

The only mention of the Presi dent, Franklin Pierce, was to the effect that he had made a few appointments. They had to do with small jobs in Illinois, New Hampshire and a couple of other states. No names were mention ed; neither were the nature of the jobs. Looking for Slave An interesting item came up in the most prominent paper of the day in Washington, the In telligencer. It concerned one, John A. Washington. He adver tised for a house servant and waiter. He said, "I wish to pur chase for my own use a Negro man, not exceeding 30 years of age, with his wife and children. xxxThe Negroes to be of sound health and slaves for life." There was news about hot weather and the cold to come. A place called Blakiston's Pavil ion, somewhere near the Capitol, was whooping it up for rooms for S30 per month, or for a shorter stop $1.25 a day. The advertisement said nothing about whether grub was included, but added, as a come-on that there was available a "good band of cotillion music from Washing ton" on hand at all times. Another ad encouraged folks to store up wood for the cold weather to come. "Will deliver good oak, $5.50 per cord. Coal $6-50 a ton." Some importers with an eye on sales advertised that they had in bottles, "for medical purposes, the very best of port wine, brandy, Scotch ale and brown stout to be found hereabouts." Rents Going Up Rents apparently had gone up a bit. One man offered a new two-story brick house, with an attic and basement on 13th st., which in 1955 is stacked with business houses and where prop erty is worth a fortune. The man asked $23 a month for nine rooms. And from the tone of his ad, it could be con cluded that he might come down a coin or so, if necessary. The New York Times printed an item that would send a mod ern feature writer for details. All the story said was: "One of the Brooklyn justices fined his own brother $10 for intoxication." The comment at the end of the item " was: "Impartial justice, that." Patterson Lists Three Possibilities If Ike Doesn't Run Chicago (U.R) Republican Gov. Paul L. Patterson of Ore gon yesterday named three "pos sibilities" for the GOP presi dential nomination in 1956 if President Eisenhower decided not to run. The three were Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Henry Cabot Lodge, head of the United States delegation to the United Nations, and Paul G. Hoffman, former head of the Economic Coopera tion Administration. - However, Patterson said he was certain the President would run again because "he started something of a peace drive at Geneva and wants to see it through. GOP Chances Seen Less "Besides," Patterson added, "the President has spent his en tire life acceding to responsibil ity, and I am sure he will con tinue to do so unless serious health problems arise." Patterson conceded that Re publican chances would "not be as great" with any of the three possible candidates he named and that there probably would be a convention struggle." But, he said, "no party should depend on an irreplaceable in dividual, and the President would never want it that way." Patterson spoke at a news con ference at the 47th governors conference. Luy Nominated For Directorship Lawrence Luy, Griffin Creek Rd., is one of several nominees for three director offices of the Western Cooperative Hatcheries who will be elected during the group's 32nd annual meeting, to be held Aug. 18 in Everett, Wash.

Munro, gene ticist, will describe recent de velopment in the co-op's research program. Arthur J. Cagle, farm management specialist in the state extension service, will speak on the economic outlook for the poultry industry. "All interested poultrymen are welcome at this meeting," ac cording to Olson. The meeting begins at 10 a.m. Dead line for Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday. - 0 m There's a really white wash. ..the kind you Set with CLORQX !

Hidden Ingredient in Cod Liver Oil Found To Have Healing Effect By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) An experi ment in the relation of poor nu trition to tuberculosis has unex pectedly produced evidence of a hidden and unknown ingredient in cod liver oil which has a heal ing effect within the human body. Dr. Horace R. Getz, of a TB sanitarium at Altadena, Calif., took a group of new patients who because of low concentra-1 tions of vitamins A and C in their blood seemed to have been in a poor nutritional state when they contracted the disease. Rather than using the new "m i r a c le anti - tuberculosis drugs, Dr. Getz started out by treating them in the traditional way bed rest. All were given a nourishing basic diet. About one third were given synthetic vitamin A in tablet form. A second sub-group was given cod liver oil because it contains vita min A. A third group got no added vitamins at all. Getz wanted to see how the Series of Tests Checks Strength of Woods Corvallis A series of tests to check the strength of wood struc tures for earthquake, blast and wind resistance have been made at the Oregon Forest Products Laboratory at Oregon State col lege. The studies are being con ducted in the state research agency by Dr. J. Robert Still inger. The laboratory is located on the OSC campus and is sup ported by a timber harvest tax. Information learned from the experiments will be valuable to building authorities in establish ing building code standards. bodies of each group fought the TB bug in comparison with the other two groups. The patients who got the syn thetic vitamin A didn't do any better than the patients who got their only vitamins from their diets. Among these two groups, there were a considerable num ber of worsening cases. But all the patients who received cod liver oil got better, and their TB wounds showed signs of heal ing. "The clinical results suggest that a factor favorable to heal ing is present in the crude con centrate of vitamin A from cod liver oil," said Dr. Getz. "The results encourage further work, which is now under way, to find the active principle re sponsible for the effects noted with the crude concentrate." The American Review of Tu berculosis Journal also reported an odd development in the treat ment of the dread "white plague" which in this country is dimin ishing steadly, what with the "miracle drugs" chiefly isoni azid that are effective against it for the time being. This de velopment was discovered by Drs. Anne S. Youmans and Guy P. Youmans of Northwestern University Medical School. TB is caused by bacteria the tubercle bacilli. Isoniazid pre vents them from growing and multiplying. In many cases, how ever, the bacilli have become "resistant" to isoniazid. The rea son they have, the Youmans re ported, is because some strains of bacilli are now exuding a chemical substance which pre vents isoniazid from preventing their growth and multiplication. The Youmans don't know yet the nature of this substance. It may be a protein but it may also be an enzyme. Even more oddly, strains of bacilli which were susceptible to isoniazied seemed to give off more of the substance than strains which were entirely resistant. They warned that no conclusions should be drawn at this time. It may be, however, that they are on the trail of how bacteria become resistant to "miracle drugs." If and when they find out it will be a great day. 38 Teachers Erirolhd For SOC Summer Session Ashland A total of 38 teach ers are enrolled for the South ern Oregon college summer school being conducted in the library building from Aug. 8 to Aug. 23, according to Miss Gladys Owen, instructor.
