PRESIDENT WILSON and his advisors have- not bc.-n
unduly iiifliifii- d ly those who. with only the most
sujierfii-ial knowledge of the l'a-ts. have been urging that
this is the time for the L'nited States, either al.inc or with
the other neutrals, to interfere in an attempt to stop the
Etiroj)ean war.
This may he tho time; the probabilities are that it is not.
No one in this eountry can possibly be so well informed
as to every aspeet of tin- European situation as is the pres
ident. lie has all the information that, any of the rest of us
have, plus the eonfidenti.il information from American
ambassadors in all of tjie belligerent and neutral capitals.
There can be no doubt that I'rrsident Wilson will eag
erly Ki-nsp the first reyl opportunity, for being of sej-yiee to
the warring nations in helping them toarrive at a basis for
peace not only among themselves, but a peace to include,
all the nations of the earth.
If we give the president credit for this mental attitude
toward the European war and at the same time credit him
with being a man of rather extraordinary intelligence, the
best way we can help him to decide wisely whether or not
this is the time to sound a note of peace is to let him alone.
It is not outside of the probabilities that the real pur
pose hack of (leriuany's peace proposal, was to stampede
the l'nited States into making a move for peace 'which
would be considered unfriendly by (Jreat Britain and her
allies and cause a sharp rejection which would react on
American public sentiment in (ierniany's favor.
There have been several crises since the war started in
which the very best thing the American people eould do.

HIGH COST OF COLDS
WII V not reduce your holiday expenses by cutting out
the high cost of your annual cold
If you are a person of normal health, you probably
manage to keep well up to Christmas, and then you suc
cumb to a cold in the head, or to the grip, or bronchitis, or
tonsilitis, or influenza.
And you do not work very well for a few days while
you are coming down with your cold; then you stay away
from work a few days more; then you work badly while
that mean feeling lasts; and then there is the doctor's bill
and the drug store expenses.
Common colds have been estimated to cost the popula
tion of certain states .:!,000,000 a year. Really, consider
ing the advanced prices of medicine and the wages lost,
only the well-to-do can afford to catch cold.
Rut in this matter the poorest Can become "philanthro
pists. Whoever manages to get through the winter with
out his annual sneezing or coughing spell is conferring a
benefit on the whole community.
Thewi-arf two ways of putting the, high cost of colds
for your own sake and of proving yourself a public bene
factor as well :
1. Avoid exposure to infection when a member of the
family brings it germ cold into the house, and if vou catch a
cold, sneeze and cough behind your handkerchief and avoid
infecting others.
'2. Drink two (juarts of water a day; sleep with your
bedroom windows wide open never mind the snow out
side cover up; sit, stand and walk erect, and walk even
day in the open air; keep clean; eat slowly and do not eat
too much. I he ( hristnias feast is responsible for nianv a
hard cold.
Ruild up your vitality and your physical resistance
and taking cold will cease to be a Dart of vour vearlv health
historv and a tax on Vfiur income.
Whiles, I differ with Mr. Heames as
I to the-iadvlsabtlity of forming an ir
rigation district at this time, I can
npt,.' but feel that he hatr performed
' pnhlfc service. liy- que'stloninc the
I canal company's supply of w ater, he
lias mane it certain that no contract
with that company will he entered
into lightly by the district, but that
careful .scrutiny and the employment
of an independent engineer may be
expected with confidence by the land
owners.

To the Editor:
I noticed a statement in the Mcd-
! ford Sun of Sunday, December 17,
1916, to the effect that Attorney New
man, who appeared at the request of
the committee In charge of the op
position to the formation of the High
line Irrigation District to advise upon
the "law points" connected with the
matted, was "greatly confused" by
questions asked hjin by the farmers
present, and I wish to say in Justice
to Mr. Newman, that such statement
is absolutely falisej that he handled
the discussion of the law points in an
nble manner and to the entire satjs-
j faction of those JissemJjled, as was
maniiesiett ay t.noj many exfrcsslbns
of satisfaction hullo at tho meeting,
those present were almost all against
the formation of the district.
I wish further to say that we farm
ers feel that the Medford papers
should be fair in the handling of this
irrigation matter and not to look at
it on one side only. If they will look
Into the merits of the opposition of
the" farmer. We u-i.h nlsn in oav
