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

total of 106 per cent during
the last three years. 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.

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

THE CHARM

ENGLAND FOR YOUR HOME TODAY!

IN OUR WINDOW1
From the northern counties of England has come the inspiration for a truly
significant style of furniture RURAL ENGLISH.
Crafted of sturdy, solid pecan with pecan veneer tops, this hospitable furniture
is finished in Heather Brown, a natural wood tone color.
t
Because of its rugged construction and ageless beauty. 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.
