We oia II in me ottunu War Loan, That looked ter rific at the start, but the ob jective was reached with sur prising speed. In these war loan drives, all types of government bond purchases count. It is ex tremely important that buying of the smaller "E" type bonds be pushed to the highest pos sible volume, but the quota will include F and G bonds, etc., which run into larger ' i .im-- l" EPLEY tax certificates, denominations. This effort must bring all idle reserves out of the brush. The boards of the various school districts, cities, and other municipal corpora tions, are asked now to canvass their financial situation with a view to making the largest possible government bond purchases. Likewise, the business organizations of the community, large and small, are asked at this time to make their plans for bond and cer tificate purchasing. It is especially important that those, who must' get authorization from elsewhere for allotments of bond buying to Klamath county, take the necessary steps to start that machinery rolling. These heavier purchases, along with accel erated E bond buying, will put Klamath county over on this big quota. m As for the E bonds, all earning individuals , are asked to invest in bonds amounting to $150. Klamath should first make its August quota, and then swing into the biggest E bond busi ness of the war in September. Every bond, of course, is an investment, rather than an News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 My columnar suggestion that our peace program should be worked out on a basis of democratic and Christian principles struck a popular responsive chord, but enough scattered criticism and misunderstanding has develop ed to require further clarifi cation to round the subject out. A Jewish woman In San Diego, for instance, suggests that Christianity is exclusive and incompatible with democ racy, which promises freedom of religion. MALLON The true inspiration of Christianity, of course, is tolerance and justice for all, which likewise is the basic principle of democracy. The roots of the Christian: theory of life run back to the Mosaic law of the Ten Commandments. Both have .inspired the laws and customs of tor land.' There is not the slightest incon titency between them. : Many clergymen of all faiths report having read my column from their pulpits, but two have protested my simplification of Christian principles to the theme of common justice, good seighborliness, kindliness and fairness. They rightly say Christian religions are much more than this, and that even the heathens could get in under my tent. Indeed, they could. We are dealing in the post war discussions, ' not with matters of religion, but with politics, statesmanship and formulas for natural living. Theologians must interpret Christianity as a religion in their respective ways, but statesmen must follow the inherent theme of Christian theory. My suggestion is that statesmen and politi cians be pressed to follow the simple funda mental principles of Christianity as they have in making their laws. The moral conceptions of honesty, good and evil, preached by Con fucious ("Man is inherently good") is close enough to fundamental Christian principles to indulge that kind of a post war democratic world. t . , . .? Our Christian way of life is not sufficiently approved in this world to warrant us making it exclusive. The conflicting theories into which we will run in the post war settlement are those of atheism, agnosticism and man-made religions of the state. (Nazism, fascism, commun ism). These teach, for instance, that even murder Dr. Masters' Health Column Proper Use of Digitalis Great Aid to Heart Disease Sy DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Many men past middle-age have, because of the war, vol unteered to participate in ac tivities which dangerously bur den the heart muscles. In re sult, heart disease may be pre cipitated. Many of these people will have prescribed for them digitalis, which is a drug whose use the patient must understand in order that its optimum bene fits may be exercised. Digitalis has been an impor tant drug since its action was described by William Withering In 1785., The preparations of digitalis tried in the treatment experience. keep the statesmen on the right path. of heart disease are made from the leaves of the Foxglove. The aetion of digitalis has been the subject of intensive study, and is now known to be that of increasing the ability of the heart muscle to attract wat er and swell, thereby making it contract more strongly and re lax more easily. DANGEROUS DRUG That a drug having 'so dis tinct and important an effect should possess an element of danger is not surprising.

They're Dependable AN interesting angle on the Third War Loan is the fact that the local Elks lodge, in accepting leadership of the campaign, called up its first exalted ruler to head the drive. That, it seems to us, is a real tribute to the staying qualities of E. B. Hall, for it was 30 years ago he headed the local fraternal or ganization. He was active in the Liberty bond drives of the first world war. Now another world war has come along, another important patriotic endeavor needs his services, and he has taken over. That sort of thing takes sacrifice of time and money. It takes worry and work. The . only compensation is the satisfaction that comes out of successful accomplishment. We happen to know Mr. Hall wouldn't attempt it if he didn't know and count on the people of Klam ath county. They're dependable. o Keep Oregon Green Note IF you're going Into the dry woods this fall with a gun, don't use tracer bullets. They can start a conflagration. We have the testimony of Rod Smith and Clarence Snodgrass of Balsiger's. They went out on the range north of town the other day with a 30-06 rifle. A soldier had given them a tracer bullet. They fired it at a target. It exploded and set the grass on fire. Clarence and Rod spent a busy 15 minutes corralling the blaze and marked tracer bullets off their ammunition list for the fall hunting. o o o Bill Bailey, our able contemporary on the Siskiyou News, was nominated for Yrcka dog catcher the other night at a Yreka council meeting. Maybe the honor came because Bill is always out after the long-hairs in government bureaus. ' is justifiable in the interest of the majority. Political opposition they say, must be exterm ' inated or liquidated by murder. O 0 O. Opposite Doctrine THE opposite doctrine which we have fol lowed is that of the sixth commandment, the only condoned exception being wars of self-defense. "Thou shalt not kill," has not been amended for us to add "except in poli tics." ' Several other readers on the opposite side believed I wanted the churches to make the peace. They question the ability of the churches to do so, on the basis of their past records. This was a strenuous over-interpretation of the column. It would be enough for me if the church leaders of the country would exert pressure upon the statesmen for the mainten ance of simple Christian and democratic prin ciples in their settlement. The elected representatives of the people are charged with the duty of making the peace, not the clergy.: Churchmen are unfitted for the task by any measuring gauge of practical They will do their duty if they Two readers also objected to my statement .that no one that I knew of had lived Christ ianity fully, claiming many holy men and women had done so. I am not a competent judge on this subject, but I am sure all the saints would be the first to protest that they had equalled Christ and were without original or ensuing sins of thought, word or deed. To me, Christ was the only divine human, and I like to think they looked at it that way also. , These criticisms and misinterpretations only serve to emphasize the necessity that the peace be based upon both Christian and democratic principles. a o Russian Committee ALREADY the Russians are sponsoring a com- roittee for the restoration of "democracy" in Germany. The refugees on this committee in Russia, says Pravda truthfully, are socialists and communists. The kind of "democracy" and ."freedom" they would restore to Germany is not our kind. If- we demand only democracy there and elsewhere over the post-war earth, without Christianity, we will get something foreign to our inclinations and beliefs. Words have been corrupted by artful poll ticians to the point where they have lost their genuine meaning. The difference between us and Russia lies not in the word "democracy" or "anti-fascist," but in Christianity. That dif ference must be preserved. drug of "so much efficacy should not be condemned as dangerous or unmanageable" through careless use. When properly used in the treatment of certain types of heart disease, such as conges tive heart failure, auricular fi brillation, cardiac asthma; and certain other conditions, digi talis is the source of great com fort and, indeed, frequently life-saving. In the treatment of cardiac disease for which it has been proven not the correct remedy, the results are, of course, disappointing. When properly administered, even in the conditions for which it is most effective, the results are bad. Overdosage causes digitalis poisoning, which is manifested by loss of appetite, headache, vertigo, and then by nausea and vomiting. More serious consequences may then follow its continuance.

The War Today By DeWITT MicKENZIE One of the most interesting pieces of news to come out o( Germany since the war began and it's one of the most im portant, if true Is the report that the whole nazi government has abandoned Berlin. While this is unconfirmed, it does come on the heels of the evacuation of a million resi dents of the threatened capital. Maybe Hitler's infallible intui tion has enabled him to read the allied program which has been set forth at Quebec by British Minister of Information Brenden Bracken thus pointed ly: "These plans are to bomb and burn and ruthlessly destroy, in every way available to us, the people responsible for creating this war." Wishful Thinking One could wish, by the way, that the fuehrer might have heard Bracken deliver that edict. I wasn't present, but 1 know the minister as one of England's most colorful person alities. He's a big chap who pours out conviction in a tor rent of forceful words, while his victim is held fascinated by the brilliant red hair which flares up from Bracken's head like the flames from a blast furnace. Yes, it's a pity Hitler wasn't there. For any normal government which of course the nazi re gime is not desertion of the national capital is like abandon ment of ship at sea. It's an act that denotes desperation. Thus the head of a govern ment and his chief ministers cling to their capital as a sea captain sticks to his bridge. They're among the last to leave. When they do go, it means they have small hope that the first city of the nation will survive. SUck With Ship During the height of the ter rible aerial blitz which London endured in 1940-41, when the British ship of state was wal lowing in mountainous seas, the square-jawed Churchill and his cabinet stuck to the bridge. True, some archives and subor dinate offices were moved out of London, but for the prime minister and his government to derdosage fails to accomplish anything at all. CLOSE SUPERVISION NEEDED Digitalis has a cumulative ac tion, and if taken in faster than it is destroyed, toxic symptoms will develop. If the drug is dis continued, the toxic symptoms subside, and it may be safely resumed later in smaller dosage or with longer intervals be tween doses. The use of digitalis should be augmented by some instruction, so that the informed patient can assist in the regulation of his dose. Digitalis should never be started, discontinued, or inter rupted, except on the advice of a physician. Usually, if real in dications existed for using digi talis in the first place, its need will continue for a long time.

Back in 1041 when Hitler's i victorious armies were surging j townrds Moscow, the soviet au ; thorities moved the diplomatic corps to Kuibyshev. But Stalin and the other members of tho red government coolly carried on at tho old stand, as an in spiration and a guarantee of security to the peoples of all the Russians. Not Cowardice Now nobody suggests for a moment that if Hitler and his government have moved, or do move, it's because of cowardice. The Germans are brave enough. Abandonment of the German capital would mean (1) that Ber lin is In peril of destruction, and (2) that the Prussian mili tarists are exhibiting one of their outstanding characteristics a disinclination to risk their necks unless it's absolutely nec essary. We have an illustration of this characteristic in the Prus sian military policy that Ger man officers shall not lead their men into battle, excepting in case of necessity. That tough task is left to the non-commissioned officers. The reason giv en for this is that officers are difficult to replace, and so should direct operations from behind the lines where they won't get killed.

In the National league the St. Louis Cardinals were upset by the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5 In a night game with the help of four unearned runs In the sixth inning.
