WHY DO WE ELECT
T II EKE lias biit'u nothing more mystifyinw; in this IIih School
embrotflio than the criticism of the School Board for taking
tmy part in it.
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

X lTNlvTOWX there's a little mill producing concrete candy,
and 1 contend, with right good will, the product is a dandy.
"We iim' the finest of cement in all the goods we're making,"
so says the manager, a gent who has no use for faking. "Wo
have just n"v in our employ," the manager informs me, "a man,
a woman ami a boy the record cheers and warms me. Hut if
the people of this town would buy our home made candy, and
strive to give it wide renown whenever it eomos handy, we'd
have a payroll cubits long, a building most imposing; but when
I'd show men where they're wrong, they say I'm idly prosing.

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. As .Medford

them on the side of the creek that
the high school is Yin. 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

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. Thus many a ' misguided

bo of value, however, I have sug

a period of a few weeks. That means

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. . , ,

Answer Smear the exposed por
tions of the skin with lather before
going near the ivy, or any simple
grease, and wash repeatedly with
many changes of hot water and soap
immediately after exposure. Many
susceptible Individuals have obtained
immunity, for the season, by taking
