12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, August 10, 1938 Man Arraigned for Livestock Theft Lester Howard Fields, 27, of 1850 Mygrs lane, Medford, was arraigned in district court Friday on charges of larceny of livestock. The trial was continued un til Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 10 a. m. to determine whether Fields desires a preliminary hearing on the charges, ac cording to a district court clerk. Fields was arrested Thurs' day afternoon by state police and s h c r r i f fs officers on charges of taking a ' steer owned by Oran Hukill, Lit tle Applegate rd., and butcher it on the spot. The 300 pound steer was valued at an esti mated $100, according to Chief Criminal Sheriff's Dep uty Joe Walsh. Record Established For Library Useage The Jackson County li brary established a new all time record for library use during the fiscal year ending June 30. The library's circulation of books during the period from July 1, 1957, through June 30, 1958, was 200,730, a figure 14,096 above that of the pre vious fiscal year. This is a gain of almost 8 per cent, ac cording to Librarian Helen Webster. Approximately 11 books were circulated to each regis tered borrower. The greatest gain, the librarian reported, was in adult use of the li- I brary, which has increased a LIVE BETTER...

Of the books borrowed by both adults and children about one third were non-fiction. Use Library More "Jackson county residents are using the library more and more to help solve their problems of everyday living," Miss Webster explained, "and following a nation-wide trend towards more reading of fac tual books." In addition to the upward trend in the number of books taken out for home use, the lbrarian pointed out, there has also been an increase in the use of other services of the library. More people come in to browse, to study, and to read either for pleasure or with a purpose. Many visit the library regularly without ever borrowing a book, so that the circulation ngure is only a partial indication of total li brary use. Reference work done by library assistants showed a substantial increase. The number of borrowers was at an all-time high, with 18,825 registered, an in crease of 3,603 over last year. Assembling a good collec tion of books for all ages and interests, and then getting these books to the people in the community is the main function of the library. During the year, a total of 5,817 books were added to ,the library, while 4,247 were necessarily with drawn be cause they were lost or badly damaged, worn-out or out-of- date, bringing the total book collection to 43,266. Addition al volumes were made avail able to readers through a ren tal service to which the li brary has subscribed to ex pand the number of popular volumes available.

Alvarez Climate Might Help Scores of people write to ask if they could help their arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, bronchiectasis or heart disease- by going to the South west, where the air is warm and dry, and there a"re fewer storms than there are in the northern tier of states. In a recent meeting in the Southwest, the effects of the local weather were discussed, and some of the physicians stated that they thought that children could be healthier in the southwestern states they are less likely there to get flare-ups in chronic respira tory diseases, and less likely to have trouble with their sinuses. Interesting to me were the statements of Dr. Paul Hol brook, who for years has been doing splendid work in Tuc son, Ariz. As an expert on arthritis and rheumatic dis eases, he said that a warm climate doesn't cure, but it sometimes helps. From 10 to 15 per cent of the arthritics who go south are much helped by the warmth and dryness of the air, and the fairly stable barometric pressure. Dr. Holbrook said that chil dren who come to Arizona af ter their first attack of rheu matic fever, if well treated, rarely suffer a second attack, and this is very important. Patients with a number of respiratory disorders can be more comfortable in the Southwest, but not necessarily cured. Similarly, men who have had a severe coronary attack are likely to be better off in a climate which permits them to be out of doors almost every day of the year. Try It Out Often I say to persons who ask if they should move to the Southwest, "If you can afford it, go on down and try things out for a few months; make sure you like the dry and LIPPERTS presents THE CHARM OF 17th CENTURY ENGLAND FOR YOUR HOME TODAY! f Y J ;l 1 j i ( SEE IT TODAY IN OUR WINDOW1 From the northern counties of England has come the inspiration for a truly significant style of furniture RURAL ENGLISH.

Rural English will span many generations and grow lovelier with each passing year. , often warm climate, and make sure that you like the desert. If you find you do not like the country, and perhaps feet no more comfortable there, you can come on home; but if you are happy and much more comfortable, and if you fall in love with the desert like country, and can afford to move, or can get a new job in the Southland, then you should move." It is bad when, as often hap pens today, the man throws up his job and moves all bis belongings to the Southwest, only to find that he doesn't like it, or that the dry air, or heat and dust-storms, make him uncomfortable. Then he has to go to the great expense of moving back North again. I am often reminded of one of my patients who, because of a severe hay fever, moved from Wisconsin to a western desert. To her great annoy ance, she discovered that she had jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Whereas, in Wisconsin, she had hay fever only in the late summer, out on the desert she had it all the year round, because it happened that she was highly sensitive to sage brush! A New Type of Research Psychiatrist At the recent meeting of the new society for Biological Psychiatry, in San Francisco, it was reported by a psysician from Stockholm that a new substance in blood, called cer uloplasmin, has decidedly helped 10 out of 22 patients suffering from schizophrenia. Every year more and more of such - substances are being found. Incidently, at this meeting, I was made a member of the Society of Biological Psychi atry. I am proud to be con nected now with this group, consisting mainly of wonder ful men who are rapidly go ing ahead to do research on mental disease. Many do their work not only in offices and clinics and hospitals but in research laboratories. W e have had enough of the fash ionable type of psychiatry in which a man sits down and rewrites some of the wierd sexual theories of Freud. As Freud himself admitted, this sort of psychiatry is of little use in a mental hospital be cause it does not fit the prob lems of the patients there, and does not help them. Studying Chemistry Now, a new type of scien tific psychiatrist has appeared. He is studying the chemistry of the blood, of the brain, and of the spinal fluid in cases of mental disease. He is studying the electric currents in the brain, and the reactions of the normal and diseased brain to scores of new drugs that are. now being found. Such drugs can produce a brief psy chosis, or they can cheer up a. depressed patient, or calm down an excited one. We should all be rejoicing over the fact that, in the last few years, a wonderful new day has dawned in the field of psychiatry. At last hopeful things are happening rapidly, and psychiatry is again be coming a science and not a of coming a science and not a sort of religion. One happy feature of the recent change over is that now men of wealttj can give money for psychiatric research with a certainty that it will be used with wisdom. I know of no field in medicine in which the need for help is so great as it is in the field of psy chiatry. Psychosis is by far the commonest disease there is, and so far we have spent al most nothing for research de signed to help the insane. Dr. Alvarez hopes his read ers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer requests for infor mation or to attempt to diag nose by mail.
