Nowadays a book doesn't stand much of a chance to stct past the publisher unless It carries a mes sage.

It has to be filled with political ideology on a world level, overflow with human problems and suffering or expose fome well known institution. Bah! . .

The weeks of strenuous cam paigning end for the aspiring ot- lice seeker in a final rally. He Ihcn has a supper with his advis ers with an atmosphere of false cncer and encouraging noises sucn as: - "You ain't got a thing to worry bout, Ed. Like I told you at the start, you're In. Now go home and get some sleep." "We want to get a picture of you voting bright and early. A better It'll look." Ed goes home, but not to sleep. consoled by the thought that even the dumbest voter must be able to see that his weary face shows more character than the crafty, double-dealings features of his opponent. I "Quit fidgeting, dear, and go to bed." savs his wife. "You don't nave , thing to worry about.' ,.you doDt h,ve a tning t0 wor. rv about. you dont have a lninfr t0 worry aD0Ut." Hra cam- . ... .u.. - "P paying that? worry about." The phrase rings on and on, like a stuck record. Lying flat on his back looking up at the darkened ceiling time, Ed knows, whether this is his first or 50th race, he has everytlng to worry about. "Nothing to worry about." That, he thinks dismally, Is what they must have told Tom Dewey on. election eve in 1948. Restlessly tossing. Ed wonders for the 1,000th time, "Why did I ever get Into politics it's the most thankless business ln the world?" He thinks of how. he strained his own finances to get into the campaign, the number of friends he put the bite on, the strangers from whom he solicited campaign funds. "If I lose this one. mama, may be we'd better move to another state." he whispers to his wife, who is equally sleepless. "Oh, shut up, Ed. Don't talk silly. Go to sleep." Instead Ed gets up. goes to the refrigerator and makes himself a sandwich.' He follows It with a slug of milk of magnesia and two aspirin, and lies down again. Soon he dozes off and begins mumbling "8.365. 8,366. 8,367. . . "Quit counting sheep." demands his wife. "I wasn't counting sheep I was counting voters," says Ed.

CAUGHT IN By DEB AL'DDISON HERE'S SOME DOPE on the meas ures you'll find on the ballot to morrow. There are e 1 g h t -.f them. The first five were referred to the popular vote of the people oy tne last legislative assembly. The first of these is a constitu tional amendment to gite the legis lature power to fix the salaries cf Its members. The constitution now fixes these salaries at $600 a year plus 10 cents a mile going to and coming home from Salem. The idea of passing it is to give adequate salaries: it is question able if bigger salaries would give the state better legislators. Number two Is another constitu tional amendment to divide up counties into representative dis tricts. Had this been in effect be fore, for Instance. Hank Semon would have represented one part ol the county, Ed Geary the other part. Some people think it would be fine for Multnomah county with Its many representatives. It doesn't look good from here otherwise. Number three is an enabling act to allow the legislature to do more things with the mental hospital authorized by the voters two years ago in order to make its operation more efficient Looks good. , Number four is another consti tutional amendment that would make it Just a little bit harder to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot. If you believe that the fundamental framework of our state government shouldn't be kicked, around too much you'd bet ter vote for this. Number five is a constitutional amendment similar to a statute passed by the last legislative as sembly for the purpose of putting further limitations on the legisla ture's power to lew a state nroD- frlv lav triij nmnM i-dHiipa tha posslollity of a state property tax on Klamath County property from nearly $4,000,000 down to $600,000.

Number six would put all of Ore gon in the Pacific Time Zone on daylight time. You've heard all the arguments before. I'm going to be a reactionary and vote against it because it gripes me to have to make the clock out a liar in order to get people up earlier in the summer. Number seven would ban com mercial fishing ln all coastal streams south of the Columbia Riv er. The question Is oulte obvious. Present commercial fishermen say woum put them out of business which it would in coastal streams. Others, think that there's more pro fitable income for people living on these coastal streams in- catering to the amateur sports fishermen than there is in catching the fish themselves and selling them to the canneries. Attorney Pete Driscoll in a pub lic analysis of this measure said that It was a poorly worded meas ure wun some "Jokers" in It. State Police Sergeant Earle Tichenor re plied that these "Jokers" coincided with present statutes covering am ateur fishing. Commercial fishing interest ad vertised that It would take away a state resource and reserve it for the 'favored few." Prom here it looks the .opposite, that the com mercial fishermen are the "fa vored few" and the amateurs are the vast majority. Number eight would do away en tirely wun me slate s M11K Market ing law. Briefly this law was de signed and has operated to ensure a constant supply of milk that is ranltary and reasonably priced.

JORDAN, M.D. It is possible to give a more en couraging reply to today's first let ter than would have been possible even a few years ago. Q My little girl has had four attacks of rheumatic fever, the first when she was 2'i years old. She had her tonsils out at 4'- and has had no further attacks for the past two years. Can I be sure tint she will have no more? Mrs, B. A Attacks of rheumatic fever are known to come after infections with a germ known as u streptococ cus such as a sore throat. Good results in preventing these attacks of streptococcus Infection have been obtained by giving penicillin to those who are susceptible to these germs. In a little girl who has had four attacks of rheumatic fever the possibility of setting up a preventive program should be carefully reviewed with the doctor in charge since furtner attacks should be avoided If at all possible and one cannot count on freedom from further attacks. Q Is there any reason why a pregnant woman's hair should change from one color to another? C.B. A Change in hair color does occasionally occur in pregnancy and following severe infections or even operations. Hits is a change in the pigment present in the hair but why it develops I believe no one knows. In any event if it does happen there does not seem much which can be done about it. Q You mentioned the use of oil in helping to pass kidney stones ln one of your columns. What kind of oil should I take? Mrs. B.B A There is no oil which can be taken by mouth which is likely to aid in the passage of kidney stones. Occasionally the area just below the kidney stone can reached by a special Instrument and a little oil placed in the pas sageway which aids tbe stone on its course. This is not possible hi all cases but it was this rathsr than oil by mouth which was meant. Q About 10 years ago I fell on a cement sidewalk and hurt my knees. One of them never seemed lust right after the fall and the last f(-w months there has been a large lump on It the size of an eg. which is not painful. Should some thing be done for this or should it be left alone? Mrs. R. A The answer depends on na ture of the lump and whether it Is likely to damage the knee further. It could be a piece of cartilage which has broken off or one of fed eral other possibilities. If I had such a condition I should consult an orthopedic surgeon. ELECTRIC 26.75 REGULAR 29.9S Twin size 46 x 84 inches Single Control Box ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Had Professor Larkin mixed some plausible science with the "Mystery People" he created for our Mount Shasta Tradition he could have been a much more itartlinif tale. This column has told the story of the fire "Via Mor- tuus," the occult fire, that "would instantly absorb the force of life, nr of wind or wave, or projectile." This fire appears to be the mys terious light that cerve Tepons as being the center illumination ot the Lemurian festival, and, of which, "the origin of the fire or its nature Is not known. The power of fire and light ap pear to have a very important place In the field of the occult and as we read the education of Walter Pierson by Quong, the Chinese stu dent of the science, we discover some amazing powers of the fires created by the occult. The word tires is used ln the plural sense since if we have a fire of destruc tion then there must be a fire of life and this was the second fire revealed to Pierson by Quong. " Quong demonstrated the fire Vis Mortuus" to Pierson and then put it out by drawing a stick through beneath tne dust on which the circle was described, and the light ln that instant was gone." Pierson continues with his description of Quong's demonstra tion: "Then another circle made he, drew but one line across it, north and south, then stepped into the figure, one of his feet on each semi-circle. Immediately his whole person w as covered with a brilliant flame, so that he appeared on fire. I was exceedingly terrified. "Do not fear me! It is well with me. The other flame was negative odicity, and would have instantly been fatal . to whatever motion touched it and have disintegrated Its form; yea, a rock thrown Into it would have at once disintegrate ed, or a cannon ball fired from the muzzle of Uie piece would have fared the same. But bis (fire) is a positive flaming of the Vis Naturae and preserves life. I might stand here till the centuries- mounted and be not weary, nor hungry, nor sick, eat not, nor. drink, yet live; for this keeps all things untouched by time, as when they enter it. No dif ference in symbolic figures, think you now? But my. soul will not progress; so that ease of living through its use offers, I care not to employ its aid, except that when weary it gives me rest; ill, It re stores health.' Quong broke the circle with his foot the fire was out.". Many writers who have dealt with accounts of the occult have likewise spoken of these occult flames so the account in Oliver's manuscript follows the general concept of the powers of the stu dents of the occult science. This Is a subject that goes deeper than usual concept of the mysterious that is manifest in most writings on spiritualism, a branch of the occult. With such marvelous fires to conjure with it would appear that both Larkin and Cerve missed, a wonderful opportunity to give their Lemurians even greater abil ities than they visioned ln their writings. In Oliver's book, the use of this fire appears but once upon the slopes of Shasta and then only in Quong's demonstration of occult power to the neophyte Pierson but the number of reports of mystery lights appear to have been multi plied many fold after the appear ance of the Lemurian Myih. Another important part of the folk-tale of the "Mystery People" is their subterranian city which is taken from Oliver's account of the meeting place of the Lothlnlan Brotherhood said to be located within Mount Shasta itself. Pierson is written of as asking Quong about the presence of students of the oc cult in this country, to which Quong replies; "Yes in this land of the Starry Flag there are students known as the 'Lothinion Brotherhood! Their lodges, called 'Saches,' are habited Phone 3188 BLANKET Here'i an opporfunity for you to find out for yourself iut why Elecfrie Blankets ire in such greet demand . . . and you won't riilt a penny.

This is the way pjer, son describes it; "we halted in front of a huge ledge of basaltlo rocks, some hundreds of feet in height. The ledge was broken and twisted as If by some rendering convulsion. All about the base lay huge fragments broken off the face of the wall. Against the cliff rest ed a giant block many tons in weight. Touching this with hli band, the Techln said: " 'Here Is our Sach, our Temple so to say; this rock is guard at the entrants to a place remarkable, to say the least. If viewed from occidental standpoint.' 'I looked in vain for the doorwav or any crevice which might lead Into a cavern.

" s By BESSY, The Basin Bossy Brrr. The spud fields showed it long ago, but now even the cows by their frosty horns, of course know cold weather has de scended upon us. No doubt, with perhaps an Indian Summer ex ception or two from here on, we've seen the last of the Good Old Summer Time. Hesistence to cold weather dis comfortures head colds and worse brings up a grand old subject that the best of us can't get along without. Yep! Fresh, Grade 'A' milk. - As we get less and less sun shine during the winter months, and because the stress of the weather .can affect the health more during the colder seasons, naturally something should be done. And the answer that packs likeable logic and everything good health needs is "drink more milk". Four glasses a day for the kids, and three or more a day for the grownups. To insure this" amount, serve It with tasty dishes, like this one: ' Yotril need 8 medium potatoes, 3 cups of dried beef (4 oz.), 3 cups cream sauce, '. cup minced green pepper, i cup minced onion, 1 cup grated American cheese oz.), and U 'cup buttered crumbs. Peel and slice the potatoes (Klamath's, of course). Pull dried beef apart and combine with pota toes, cream sauce, green pepper, onion and cheese. Bake ln mod erate oven 13,50 degrees F.) for about one hour. This we call "Beef and Potato Scallop." Serve It with green beans, raw vegetable relishes, bread and butter, Fruit Betty, and fresh, Grade "A" milk. Take it from me, you can make six folks mighty happy and healthier with a meal like this. And take It from me, too, that you will ALWAYS have milk at your door or at the store as long as we have our milk marketing let to Insure it. BESSY.
