To hear some of the complaints hereabouts, one would assume that. the people elected a school hoard, to do everything but concern themselves with school affairs, The .Mail Tribune holds no brief for the School Hoard, and seeing liitle to choose as far as the site is concerned, is quite content to leave the final decision to the people. But we do believe that the School Board not only has a right, but a distinct duty, to take part in any election or any discussion, or any action' which concerns the schools. The members of the School Board were elected for that very purpose. They were electedto represent the people in school af fairs. They were elected to study school problems, determine school policies and supervise school administration. Having been actively concerned with school affairs during an extended period, having studied the problems from every angle, the members of the school board are naturally better informed on the actual situation than the average citizen, and are in a position to give the average citizen valuable information, which he could se cure in no other way. The "average citizen" of course has the privelegc of accepting this information or rejecting it, of approving a school board decision or disapproving it; but for him or and condemn the school board school affairs, is not only ridiculous, hut carried to its logical con-' elusion would mean the destruction government entirely, QUILL Another very good spring tonic now frocks.

COMMUNICATIONS Iiet Your I'orkctbook lie Your ;uldo To the Editor: Ono of the beauties of living in a small city is the partici pation In community excitement: Now that other burning Issues hitve cooled down, and since the fishing season Is not yet well under way. the High School controversy has come along In tho nick of time to save us from a dull spring. I wouldn't feel right if I did not get into it. The Marshalls havo been newspaper and writing people, for the past fifty yenra, nmi to let n local fight go by without dipping our pens in ink. would not be keeping to the tradition, I am not. however, going to argue the (superiority of ono site over another. Moth must be pretty good sites, or they wouldn't have so many sincere people fighting about them. I merely wish, at the risk of being assailed by dome dozens of elo quent pens (Thank Heaven I'm used to it) to point out a slight matter of horse sense which we nil knmj in our own hearts but arc reluctant to say in prbit. I live on the west side nf l!ear t'reek. I h:ive a house there. ;t : sntne of tlif kin-folks have about forty ,irr" i TV-ill- t h" city limits, on the sii-if sido of the creek.

I don't want I Med ford shooting out on the other "side as much as I want It to shoot on this side, although of course would ! rather have it go there than not go at all. A united town In a great thing, but when a 'man owns property on one side of a natural dividing line, and dellberotely-votes to bring public edifices to tho other aide, (even if only two hundred yards on the other side) something should be done to him speedily. It Is very sad about tho whistling trains disturbing the students as they study in their. Holly Street school building. It is Mkewiso lamentable about tho automobiles tooting over Bear Creek bridge. Thero is only ono thing wrong, with both of these argu ments. ' It is that if high school stu dents are like they were In my day, they don't do any studying any way. My final word is to urge people to vote on their side of the creek. If any one owning property on the East Side votes for the Holly Street site I shall regard him with suspicion. If any one on my side votes tor the P. & K. I shall think he has been cor rupted by the Wall Street railway kings. I have not a single altruistic idea in writing this unlike a. great many equally sincere people. 1, wouldn't write it at all except that the greater proportion of the people livo on my side, and if .they stay in line, and vote with ordinary horse sense, my side will win. Holly Street for ever! EDISON MAUSIIALL. ' Medford, May 13. Why Out of Town Architects? To the Editor: I would like to call the attention of the business men of Medford to the fact that during the past three years seven large public or semi-public buildings have been erected In Medford at a total cost of about 5400,000.00, In every case the buildings, wholly or in part were de signed by and erected by men who had no property or holdings irr this city. I have not heard any protest mado by the merchants of this town. But, I have heard a slogan originated by the merchants to this effect: "with Medford Trade is Medford Made." Sounds nice. If Medford did not have citizens capable of doing this class of work It would be different,, but this is cer tainly not the case. The Elks Temple, and Crntorlan theatre, designed and built entirely by local men, are cer tainly not Inferior to the other build ings of the city of which plans came from Texas, Seattle, or Eugene and the largo part of tho labor from Port land. Now comes tho new high school, about $185,000.00 of Medford money to bo spent. Tho plans? Oh yes, from Portland. Thero goes $10,000.00 of Medford money to a firm that has not spent ono cent with the merchants of this town nor pays a penny taxes. The school board If working in the interest of tho town might have employed for tho same money the finest talent on tho coast, if they did not want to spend the money In town. Personally, I regret the choice that has boon mado by the board. I feel as though I was fully competent to handle the work, and not only that but in a position to give the tax payer of this city, whose money is being ex pended, a better building, more for their money by having it modern, by having It built by other tax payers of the ctiy, and by having the interest of the city at heart. H. U. Lumsden in letting the con tracts for his business building re jected one low bid from a non-resident, to accept a higher, on the contention that "he had made his money in Medford and he intended to spend it In Medford. The school board could work exactly on the samo prin ciple It is such wor kas the high .school that brings a .profit to archi tects. Wo struggle for an existence on small work, KHANK C. CLARK.

M. D- How to Contruet Is there any truth, walls a dam sel from Duluth, the rhyme off which was not premeditated, in the report that the stomach contracts 'as a re- ' suit of dieting, and that it therefore can n e V e r again hold the same amountof food that it formerly held?.. . , Thero Is only faint trace of truth dial value. We are speaking of or in it, unfortunately, idinary healthy folk, however. They for if it were- true to any considerable extent we should ,."..!, all live longer, hap pier and leaner. If a fellow could cut down his capacity just by fasting a little or restricting tho load for a few days, that would be an attainment well worth the agony. Once In a while the stomach which has been dRatcd or expanded to accommodate a whale of a meal or a steady elephantine diet refuses to contract again to its normal di mensions or capacity, at least until the doctor has tinkered with it for a spell or tho surgeon has embroi dered a design on the greater cur vature. But this is' a rule which positively docs not work both ways, If you do manage to contract your! stummick appreciably, don't you.alono without tho boric acid, seems worry t it will come back ngain and leave no tale behind it. Even pro fessional f asters who go for weeks without any food find no difficulty, when the tast is finished In stowing full rations. But there is a way to contract tho capacity , of the stomach or' at least to attain that dclectublo sensation of fullness without actually stuffing or overloading the stomach. In other words, there is a way to contract the appetlto when the uppettte Is ab normally large. Of course, ' various practices In jurious to health tend to impair the appetite, but we are concerned with healthful procedures only. It is terrible to bo. fat, but better fat than, sick or, quite dend. Where there's a reasonable amount of fat there is hope, and where there Is more there i8 also faith and cred ulity, I find. When a woman won ders whether she can really reduce by putting suits in her bnth or wear ing some . special kind of compres sion apparatus, I conclhdo she must bo pretty fat. When sho actually attempts to reduce by such mnglc, I know sho is terribly fat. .And when she declares sho has reduced via the rubber garment routo or the body wash roufe (suppressing the fact that sho adhered to a slim diet or indulged in some unwonted exercise while wearing the elastic corset or wallowing in tho medicated bath) I pronounce her case hopeless. - Intra-abdominal pressure, like blood pressure, remains constantly within certain limits in health. In various departures from, health the intra-abdominal "pressure falls below the normal. For instance. If the belly muscles (that Is, the muscles in tho front wail of the abdomen) aro paralyzed or greatly weakened, Intrn abdominafl pressure falls. When intra-abdominal pressure is low,1 one has to overfill the stomach in order! to attain that desirable sense of com-; fortable fullness or sat isf art inn of tho appetite.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Ilunniiig Ear. You stated some time ago that-a running ear could bo cured with Dakin's solution. I have been af flicted with a running ear since I was 7 years old. I am 19 now.. There is a foul odor from It. C. A. A. Answer I do not recall having Suggested Dakin's solution.' It might bo of value, however, I have sug gested tho use of drop or two of a saturated solution of boric acid hi alcohol two or three times daily for a period of a few weeks. That means all the boric acid the ounce or two of grain alcohol will dissolve A physician of considerable experience tells .me that the use of the alcohol to clear up some cases of chronic running ear associated with a fuul odor. Yeast. Is yeast good to purify the blood? Does massaging cocoa butter into tho arms each night fatten them? S. M.-I., Answer Yeast is as nutritious as beefsteak, pound for pound. , It is rich in tho water soluble vitamin. It contains a large amount of nucleln, from which uric acid is derived. Yeast does not purify the blood any more or less thaij beefsteak does. But I think the eating of one or two yeastcakes daily for a few weeks Is sometimes h e lp f u 1 in overcoming pustular acno or a plague of bolls. Massaging' cocoa ' butter or other foods oi .medicaments into the arm or other portion of the body will not fatten that portion of the body. In the tfirst place, cocoa butter is an infinitely better food. In the. next place, no food or other substance Is absorbed by the unbroken skin. In the next place, there Is no evidence that massage causes either local de position of fat or local reduction. i Maybe some exercise, general exer cise in mo open air, together with good wholesome food absorbed thru that one big pore between your nose and your chin, will plump up your arms. Yes, and tho. yeast will help, too. . , , ' Poison Ivy. ricaso tell mo if thero is any 'pro tection against poison ivy. i have a bad time all summer long, when ever I encounter it. G: E. R.
