significant resolutions. however, was
that relating to the position
of the synod as regards the Roman
Catholic church. The resolution, as
adopted by the synod, maintains
that while the Lutherans composing

THE CURE OF DRUNKENNESS.
Inebriety Treated as n Dfsease-The
Treatment Outlined.

A paper read by DIR. c. II. Hughes Of St
Louis today before the section Of mental
and nervous diseases on THE Successful
Management of Inebriety Without Secrecy
In Therapeutics" attracted considerable at
tention. DR.. Hughes commenced his paper
by stating that the general professional
consent and popular recognition of the fact
that inebriety Is a disease, are the results
of the impressive and persistent efforts of
the British and American associations and
other medical societies having in view the
cure Of inebriety.
With the diffusion Of knowledge among
the people and their advisers, the general
profession, and especially the family doc
tor, that alcoholism and dipsomania are
grave diseases, with graver physical and
psychical sequelae, hope has dawned for the
liberation of inebriety and it's terrible evils
to the individual. the family and the state.
brightens. Henceforth, the unfortunate
victim of alcohol is to be cured and then
reformed through the seeking of medical
relief, and such as are not confirmed in
baneful habits Of intemperance will turn in
time from the social tempter and avoid the
homeopathic thraldom Of this devils chain
Of evil tyranny.
The Trouble in the Past
about this blended vice and disease has been
in the failure to seek, by suitable change of
that renovation and rebuilding Of the dam
aged organism which makes resistance to
alcoholic enslavement possibility in the
organism of the average habitual or periodic
ineb-iate. That profession which has res
cued mankind from many portentous
evils after other resources have failed, Is

THE HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
Fnear Physical Training Considered
In a Paper by DR.. Smith,

Turing today's session Of the section de-
voted TO the diseases Of children br. J..
gardner Smith Of New York read an in
teresting paper entitled Physical Train
ing Of School Children"
The physical training of school children.
said DR.. Smith, is an almost imperative
necessity. from the fact that the world
needs strong. healthy men and women.
Such an end was one of the great objects
Of the present medical congress. The SUBJ
tect dealt with boys and girls from five 10
twenty years Of age. Unfortunately, in
far too many instances the subject is
neglected or lost sight of. While the need
of physical training is most apparent the
fact is forgotten that the voluntary mus

needed only to be noted to emphasize the
necessity of phys training. DR.. Smith
Endorsed both the kindergarten and manual
training systems, but contended that never

such q system was needed was SHOWN py
the statement that an examination OF ~"

In conclusion. DIR. Smith eloauently urged
upon the medical profession the great I'M

to do all In their power to further such an
end.

The report that the orders of the cruiser

ON transformation. Since last July the

The growth of Grangeville is at

and the future of this very pros

The Lewiston Addition consists of
80 acres overlooking the business

The COuntv Printing.

The county printing for the last
quarter under the present contract
cost the taxpayers $1,000. When
this contract was awarded to the
FREE PRESS at the April session,
jealous and envious contemporaries
made malicious and studied eff
fort to make the dear people be-
lieve that the commissioners were
guilty of Partially and fayoritism,
and that the taxpayers were to be
swindIed out of 81 900 a year. The
character and standing of the COM
missioners, Messrs. Fockler, Mey-
er and Riebold, forbids the suppo-
sitiOn that they violated their Off
cial oath to show favors to the
FREE Press. The truth is that the
FREE PRESS was the only paper
which submitted an honest and
business-like bid. All the other
bids left the doors wide open for
over-charging, fraud and extortion.
For ten years the editor of the F.
2. has published the official paper
of Idaho cOunty-eight years in
Grangeville and two years in Lew
iston-and in all that time has
never had a claim against the
county rejected, reduced or laid
over. Our contemporaries would
probably have got rich on those
opportunities. The people can see
for themselves, quarter by quarter,
what the county printing costs
them, and all attempts to deceive
them by malicious statements de-
flaming the commissioners and the
FREE PRESS, are unavailing.
