Unless some effort is nindt; to keen the hot-heads on both sides common sense, tin: election on Friday, instead of settlini? the llig School problem, will merely kill it. . For the fihtinc instinct is easier to arouse than appease. And if the momentum of the opposing factions continues to increase at the present rate, tho clash at the polls on Friday, which should settle this controversy finally, action, injunctions, restraining Iliuh School itself abandoned for borhood row.- J So The Mail Tribune is much more interested at the present time in what is to happen after election day than what is to happen on it. Much more important than the site School itself. t Our advice to the combatants their respective shirts on, and to ever the result on Friday, they abide by it. 1f ever there was a tpiestion, this is one. AVe have the Eugene placing the Holly street grounds .School Board pledged to accept and placing the 1'. and K. in the conflicting authorities we have cographical lines. So it is an. ideal issue to leave the majority decide. School controversies are difficult enough to nettle at the best and arc destructive enough of local adding any unnecessary fuel to the is to be expected, the fact should iiestion was settled when tho voted that a new High School should 'bo built. And the big question now is to 1 uilt, and Medford is allowed to the verdict of the majority is known. ,, QUILL The best test of any town's sportsmanship is a losing ball team.

I send out picture postal cards, 1 scud them by the dozen, con veying love and warm regards to aunt and niece and cousin. They used to cost one cent a throw, which left my purse un troubled, and now I show no signs of woe, although the cost is doubled. My mail goes forward every day, by trains and planes and stages, and men who send it on its way will draw down decent wages. The faithful men who handle mail, have always worked like thunder, and when they drew their monthly kale they had to weep and wonder; they wondered how they'd pay the bills and keep the home fires burning, nnd how they'd pur chase pies and pills with kopecks they were earning, They wondered where old 1'nele Sam had got his tightwad training, but, silent as the storied clam, they went on toiling, straining.

I rriuli ;hat this matter was in the courts of Jackson, Klanutth arM Douglas coun- ties for some Heven months and neceH sitated a trip to Alumath Vails on the part of Mr. Newbury and a consider able amount of work and time. I believe his chargo a very reasonable one, not in excess of half of the schedule fixed by the Bur association of the county. The pooplo of Medford are to bo congratulated on hnving two very BOod school sites for tho erection of their high school, und s hat over the result of the election Medford will have a splendid site for its new high school nnd one that every citizen should take pride in. All of the bit tern oss and acrimony being injected Into this election may be charged to a personal, rather than community In teraet. While I have not always agreed with the school board, I can only in fairness commend their integ rity and zeal in their work: la offer ing a choice of two such sites for s high school they are to be commend ed. It they have a preference for cither site, I say commend them for thut; they were elected to secure for tho patrons of the schools what in their judgment is best and they owe the public tho plain duty of exercising that Judgment. The suggestion of Mr. Ruhl, to in vestigate and then vote for the best interest of the community. Is Coolidge common sense. E. E. KELLY, Medford, May 12. Answer to Aubrey Smith. To the Editor: In Monday's Tribune, Mr. Aubrey n. smith, retlrlmr sunerintendent of H(.hnnl. nnotea n nauihorltv on filled or wet land," which we be lieve to be very good , advice, nnd should be followed, ftnd on that basis tho P. & E. site should bo adopted Here, tho building foundation would rest on solid ground, which is neither low nor filled, and never has been under water. Unfortunately the pictures In the (unslKIled) exhibit in Week's & Orr's window show but the edge of this site, and a pic ture of the complete site, if taken at that time, would have shown it hlsh and dry, whilo old-timers. In this part of the country will vouch for the fact that Mr. Smith's favored Holly street site was an excellent hunting ground for ducks which abounded in the many pot holes in that vicinity, "l'lease take notice that. the flood snown in the pictures was the greatest ever known in. this val ley nnd tho i & K. site was not touched, and a ' flood of equal pro portions at this time would fall fur short of the level then reached, as the present bed of the creek is now at. least four feet lower (due to ero sion) than it was at that time. The same unidentified and unsign ed window exhibit also divides thoi town by an arbitrary line at Kiver- side avenue and Us sponsors assume that merely because they drew a lino down that street, tliat it made tho territory west of thnt lino farther away from tho P. & E. sito than tho Holly street site. We fail to see that drawing lines on a map will change by ono foot tho distance be tween two given points, or the num ber of high school students In a given territory. - If this is the logic of ' a certain advocate i of Hardpan site, it is no wonder tliat ho Is now looking for a job in somo unsus pecting and peaceful town far. from hero; ' W. BERNARD ROBERTS. l & K. Grounds und Iinmomlity. To the Kditor: Much has been said and more will bo said regarding the selection of u site for tho new high school. . Th question of floods, paving, scenic beauty and costs have been discussed but never a word in regard to Juven ile protection. . It was tho mothers vote which de feated the Issue for building an ad dition on tho present site from the standpoint of undesirable surround ings. Are wo now going to let business interests so warp our bettor judgment is to add more hazards to those which will necessarily have to bo encounter ed wherever we may build. The P. & 15. site affords numerous places of rendezvous for immoral pur poses which fact we mothers must not overlook. Some people do not like to hear tho truth. Many parents, es pecially, imitating the ostrich, who with his head stuck In the sands, thinks he is safe because he can neither see nor hear impending danger, shut their eyes and clap their hands to their ears and say, "Such things can't be." liut the wise parent opens his eyes, ears and mind to tho truth and wel comes facts that come convincingly from an authoritative and reliable source. All over the country the demand for supervised recreation parka and play grounds is being met with tho hearty support of all public officials. How can the grounds of tho P. & K. site be properly supervised with dozens of camp cottages, bridges, willow thick ets and warehouses In its immediate vicinity? It may not always bo possible for mothers or guardians to accompany their daughters to all school activities, therefore, let us not subject them to more than the minimum hazards which would exist in a residential dis trict.

Addreu Dr. William Brady, Ir Cr of Uil. Mwipaiw. A C1UI1 WlUlc Sweating. One of the pet notions of people who are afflicted with chronic innings trouble is that there is some harm likely 'to follow a very sudden check ing of sweat, for instance, going out in the cold immedi ately - after a hot bath of any kind. The old fogy doctors have contributed considerably toward the spread of this wrong notion In the past, and here and there we find one still doing what he can, to help the fool Idea along. People with IllHlngs trouble nro generally fond of Turkish baths, and owing to their trouble they generally hnng out at the bath establishment for several hours. lest they get chilled too suddenly or, as they prefer to express it, "take cold." i. As nobody known .what any- I l)0y means by "inKing com," wo win Il-lLVe U1UC OUL OL tUV U1HUUKH1UII UI1U consider only tho question of sudden checking of-sweat. If the subject of human physiology were not In bad odor with our popu lar educational, authorities, the ab surdity of this notion would be appar ent to every school hoy. Hut thero are numerous interests that wield great in fluence in. popular education, and those interests prefer to keep the peo ple as ignorant as possible In all such matter's, for It is much easier to mis inform the man who has no knowledge than it is t bamboozle tho man who has a reasonable knowledge of a given subject. This accounts for the great prevalence of chronic rtlltings trouble among the badly educated portion of our population, which portion is about 90 per cent of the population. When an individual works up an ac tive sweat by vigorous exercise of any kind, ho is likely to become lame and sore In the muscles ho has exercised most, if he happens to be suddenly chilled, ns by sitting down in a windy spot and cooling off too fast without any attempt to put on warm coverings. Hut this has nothing to do with the checking of tho sweat. The soreness or lameness or stiffness may develop even If there Is no checking of the sweat or no possible chilling, for it is due to the retention In the muscle tis sues of somo of the waste products of oxidation, which aro carried away through the circulation and not through the sweat. Tho free sweating accompanying very vigorous exertion is simply a natural means of dissipat ing tho excessive heat which develops during th6 Increased oxidation which necessarily occurs during vigorous ex ercise. The sweat contains no increas ed amount of waste matter. It Is prac ticolly nothing but salty water. It carries no appreciable amount of waste matter and no poisonous matter out of the system. It serves no other purpose than cooling the body. This is the sound physiology of the matter. and I challenge anyone to take issue with the scientific truth here ex press - od. Xow. then, children you are child ren so far ns yoirr knowledge of human physiology Is concerned it should be fairly clear to .lyou that a sudden chilling after vigorous exercise or work is quite different from a sudden chilling, after a hot bath or artificial overheating of the body in any way. The chilling after exercise may suffi ciently effect the circulation as to r?-lall Whereas Sic Nostrum Cod Liver Oil: He it known -to all here assembled and unassembled flint the lnnmik'emeilt of Hunt's Crateriiin Theater hereby disclaims all responsibility for split sides, bursted buttons, loss of false ieeth or dignity, sustained 'by patrons who come to the theater to meet "Charley's Aunt from Brazil where the nuts come from."
