Anderson's com municution In regard to my letter the other day will say: l. 1 nnt the school board never came to me for a price on block 63. or consulted me in any way. 2. Mr. Frnnklin dapped into the storo and in the discussion I told hint that if the board would secure suitable lots for me and move my houses onto them that I would trade even up and felt sure tho same could be done for not to exceed $-000. This he refused to con sider aim stated that the board could hot go and buy lots and movo houses, etc. Tho following day they sent a real estate man to see me with an op tion on my property for 60 days, mo to pay 6 tier cent commission for making the deal nnd wanted a cash ptiro on the whole block. It was then that. I stnted tile price Would bo JCB00, 'but I refused to sign tho option or pay 5 per cent commis sion tor closing tho deal. After the hoard nnd refused my offer, I went to Mr. Hoggs as chnlr man of the planning commission and gave htm the option as above stuted. Mr. Hoggs has no lots in ' Play Fair, Plupps Urges. To the adltor: I think Bert Anderson is getting a little over enthusiastic about Holly street site, but we all know Bert, yet I do not think it 1b fair for him to try to smear Miller and Wilson's reputations, since It hi been the custom to apportion th buying of 'merchandise to the va rlous merchants of the town. The superintendent of schools was buying the greater part of th school supplies out of town until Miller showed him he could furnish ' them for less. As for Wilson who ls a clerk at the M. F, & H. Co., whose Ilnan cfal interest In that concern ls small that It ' doesn't figure much for Wilson when we give the M. & H. .Co., their share of the patron uge of the school district. These men have given a great deal of their time to the schools and I don't believe they have taken one cent unjustly. All bills have been carefully checked by the clerk, su perintendent and full board and there ' ls absolutely no chance for robbery. Let's play fair. J. D. PHIPPS, Chairman of School Board to Urges Voters to Settle Down. To the Editor: It seems a shame that after rais ing nil these pretty flowers and fine lawns, removing rubbish, un sightly buildings, etc., and the fact this valley was ' once a lake.- everywhere there ls evidence that was once under water. that we have no safe and sightly place build this schoolhouse. It appears to me that our chil dren need a 'little more thought given to the effect of some of the lutest styles, pictures, papers, etc. and fewer Illustrations of our ability to put over something rank and get away with it by law or have a spec ial officer to relieve us. Don't be timid and get bluffed by this longe range stuff intended to Settle this matter. Get down to normal by Friday noon and vote with the same apparent foresight and good Judgment you did on the bond issue Is the best that can be done . now. ' W. J. MESSENGER. Don't Blnme School Site. - To the Editor: , We have read the letters pro and con about the location of new high school. But the letter that aroused our In dignatlon the most, was where the morality of our young were attacked One site Is no better than the other when It comes to rendezvous for im moral purposes. Shame on any one suggesting any argument of that na ture. Put the two places in the balance, nnd one will balance the other, either right or Wrong. Immorality is extant we ail know. but are not the older ones more to blame for such conditions than our children? Why lay Immoral purposes nt the door of our schools? Go search, you may rind them In your own dooryard near mother. Mnny parents have the Idea when children start to school their work Is done for the twenty-four hours of the day. All depends upon the teachers wno have the children eight out of the twenty-four under their supervision ana tne atmosphere may be nurer in ne school room than In the home or wherever the child may be the remain ing hours of the day. If a child falls oy the wayside, how easy to blame the school. They may be of high school age. but the high school is not to blame for tl;e downfall of your child mothers tipping the glass, smoking cigarettes, keeping late hours, coming nome in condition not fit for her child to see. breaking the laws of our land as if they meant nothing, is it any wonoer cnuaren go astray? i-iaco has nothing to do with this. Let us work to give our vounir neonie clean, pure thoughts and Ideals and examples and raise them In our homes to love ood and oboy tho laws of our innd. Then you need not worry over the location of your new high school. EDITH MIIJ.KB. Medford. May 14. to tho Editor: I arrived in the Kogue River valley sixty-five (65) years ago, at the age of fifteen (15) ears, and slept the first night under he old oak tree now standing on the south side or the Nntatorium. I have been here ever since. I have hunted ducks all over tbo northwest side of town where they stayed In the potholes, as the water would stand there and would not drain off on ac count of the hard pan. There never has been any water standing on the grounds where the P, & E. was locat cd. I havo lived at 110 Almond street for twenty (ft)) years and am still living there and hnve never been botHered with high water, The creek channel Is now about four feet deefier and several times wider, than It used to be. There is absolutely no dunger of water on the P. & E. location. I dug a well on Almond street 18 years ago. dug twenty feet to water und only four feet of water came into the well. The well Is still there as proof of my statement. The house where Mr. Gnddls lives wns built about 10 years ago. There was a basement dug under it at that time nnd Is still there and it never has hnd water in It. I can convince anyone open to reason.

Iteadrng your interesting column re cently, Just after an interview with my own physician, who advised me to practice deep breathing regularly, I am tempted to ask your opinion on this much mooted question of proper breathing. What ex encises, if any, should one tnko for better breathing? I believe t you have given your views In print, but I have not the record. (S. N. T.) Deep breathing is one of several much misunderstood ques tions which have an Important bearing on health nnd which are essentlally questlons ol pnyslology. As every school boy knows. I nm about to say tnat It the rudiments of physiology were taught In common school these questions would not be mooted or de batable. Various deep breathing exercises nre of value in the treatment of certain disease conditions, particularly cer tain pleural lesions. But that Is an individual medical problem to be left entirely to the Individual medical ad viser; Few even of the popular books deal ing w'lth health or hygiene give the layman any light on the question of deep breathing, though it is common enough for short cut healers and mail order humbugs of various kinds to urge deep breathing as an indiscrim inately helpful exercise. A recent book entitled "Personal Hygiene Ap plied," by Jesse Feirlng Williams, A. M. D., whb Is well known as head f the physical education department n teachers college, Columbia univer- lty, goes. Into, the quettion of deen breathing in a painstaking and illum inating way and Dr. Williams shows the unscientific character of so culled deep breathing exercises for general health building. Dr. Williams further describes the unhygienic consequences of deep breathing. He reminds the reader that breathing exercises and large lungs or chest expansion are no assurance or protection against tuber culosis. He calls attention to several other points against the absurdity of deep breathing exercise as an exercise and winds up with the sound conclu sion that general physical exercise should be used to accomplish every thing which the misinformed strive vainly to accomplish with their sillv deep breathing exercises. The book ls published by W. B. Saunders company, Philadelphia. "Deep breathing exer cise ls not the only popular foible hlch Dr. Williams disposes of in i-ersonnt Hygiene Applied." By deeper or faster breathing tnr few minutes any one can temporarily increaes the amount of oxvgen In hi blood. But this Is of no advantage, and as the associated lowerinir of rr- bon dioxide proportion in the blood immediately brings about n physiolo gical counter effect, namely, slower or more snauow breathing for a time. should be obvious that nothlne has been gained by the make believe exercise. When the breathing becomes deeper faster as a consequence of active general exercise of any kind, that is very different circumstance. There is definite gain In respect to nnnn. ntion of oxidation .metabolism) from general exercise, a gain which Is not immediately wiped out hy such a renc- n as the simple breathine exnnri. ment Induces. So, the health sense of It Is Inst iti.- Never mind your breathing, It is auto matically regulated and' you can't do nytnmg about It. arms. One evening we were passing a penny arcade and there was a tatoo artist there who sold us a prescrip tion for taking off tatoo. We had the prescription filled, but we aro afraid to use it. It Is a mixture of sallcylc ncld and glycerin in a soft paste, lo be applied and bandaged tight for 10 dnys. Wo have been told this will take the skin off. (Mrs. M. S. W.) Answer It will take tho skin off, but not tho tatoo. Of courso nothing but incision of tho mutilated area will remove tho tntooo marks. It is a disgrace to the community that euch tatooing is permitted. : Mold. Recently we bought a gallon can of maple syrup. We kept It In tho cellar for several weeks, and when I went to get some I found it covered with a cot tony mold. I strained tho syrup, re moving all the mold, and it looks ami tastes all right. Is It all right to cat It (Mrs. II. F. A.) Answer Yes. Tho mold Is a harm less surface growth. Pleurisy and Tuberculosis My husband hnd a severe attack of pleurisy last August. Three weeks ago ho was examined because of a ' heavy feeling still In the left side, and the physician called it chronic pleu risy. From what another doctor said I was led to believe that Chronic pleurisy is almost certainly tuherenln. sis or a forerunner of tuberculosis. (Mrs. P. G.) Answer Pleurisy Is often duo In tu berculosis. But many cases of nento and chronic pleurisy are not tuber culosis and not forerunners of tuber culosis. Your husband's physician's opinion would be your best guide. rvtly Is there anything injurious In a five grain asafoetlda pill, to steady heart action or to relieve -ml nnr nnlna In thn abdomen?
