Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised last

II was all right last spring and felt
better than l have for over ten years.

Foot Exercises q New Fad.

From the New York Times: Foot cx-
ercise is the latest fad among fashion,
able pedicures, not only for making the
feet pliable and graceful. but for the
removal Of corns and bunions that will
not yield to the usual treatment. The
exercise takes about half an hour each
visit, costs 81, and requires about three
months for the course. BY that time
h toes are said to respond to individ-
ual control as easily and as fexibly as
the fingers.
The treatment is very simple" said
an uptown chiropodist, land, unlike
most fads, it is not imported. The proc
ess was thought out and taught to
others by Il man who used to have a
large patronage in the Turkish baths
in this city, but who has now retired
from business. The toes are twisted
and wrung one at a time, until they
are quite pliable, like a baby's. Then
the patient is told to exercise them.
There are V movements-up, down,
right, left and rotary. We do a great
deal of this sort of work for. ome
particularly those who have to dance
much on the stage or those who have
crippled their feet with high French
heel Shoes"

the lame, blind, dumb. manned anG
many Others"
In this sorry crowd was one whose
case for some reason seemed TO merit
special attention. Certainly he coul
not be taught like the rest of the crowd,
for he was deaf and at least partly
dumb. So Jesus took him aside pri-
vately, in the personal. %brotherly way
which was one of the Masters dear
habits. n patiently. with outward
signs to strengthen the mans faith. he
touched the deaf ears and the Stun
bling tongue. and in the mans
speech commanded. "Ephphatha,"-
that is. BE opened He had none of
the easy nonchalance of the profess
sional healer. The afflicted one was to
him not merely "a case" he was a
brother man. So great was the Mas
ter's sympathy that even while he
worked the healing he groaned in sor-
row.
A WORD FOR THE DEAF.
What that "Ephphatha" meant to the
deaf man, only the "a can know. Inn
agination cannot picture the extent OF
the deprivation endured by those whose
ears are sealed. The world Is so full
of sweet sounds-the voices of loved

touch and command opened this deaf

What an awakening was that!-like

myriad deaf ones await with eagerness.
Surely the world beyond, with all its
sweet melodies and harmonious sounds.

have known thofp fu11 Nnyrorc on oo 1T "
as 1t will mean to the many who first
hear the "Ephphatha" at the gate of
the life eternal.
A MODEST WORKER.
Jesus did not care to have his good
deeds advertised. His reason in this
case Is not plain, for his fame was al
ready wide. 1t may have been because
he was in another country thar his
own. and still cherished a hope of Sc
curing rest n seclusion. that he en-
Joined secrecy upo the persons whom
he helped. Possibly. even. he desired
the sweetness of doing service which
should be known only to the Father
who seeth in secret. Be hat as it may,
he could not repress the mems open as
constituent and admiration. They pub
lished 1t abroad, declaring, He maketh
v e the deaf to e and the dumb to
speak" His works sang his praise.
The %seclusion which Jesus sought at
this time he apparently did not get.
But to his disciples, and it may be also
to Jesus himself. was given an enlarged
vision of the kingdom which He was to
found. His gospel could not be limited
to h Jews; 1t vas for all the world,
Its hope and help and healing were for
the GENTLE as well as for Jew: for those
who were looked upon as heather as
well as for those who counted Abraham
their father. The disciples were then
learning what We today believe, that
Jesus was sent to be a Savior for the
whole wide world.

VICTORY ANNIVERSARY

April 3. Our Victories Through
Christ j Cor. 15:50-58:
Easter is an anniversary. 1t is more
than society's millinery opening, or the
day for the Inauguration of spring
fashions. Nor is 1t merely the joyous
ending of Lent's long rigors. Casters
first greatest significance is deeply
spiritual. 1t celebrates the first day of
the week when the devoted women
found an open tomb when they sought
the grave of Jesus. The day tells of
resurrection-the resurrection of Christ
and of all the great harvest of humanity
OF which he was the first fruits. Until
that morning death had reigned undis-
puted as the lord Of the race. But on
the first Easter Jesus conquered death.
The king of Terrors'' became the slave
of the son of God. Easter, then, is the
anniversary of the worlds greatest VIC
tory, and the symbol Of humanity's
dearest hope-a life beyond the grave
Man must give allegiance before
Christ will give victory.
There is such a thing as habit of
victory. Jesus manifested it through
out his entire life. His confidence in
himself and in his success was 30 over
whelming that 1t aroused the cutting
criticism OF his enemies. But this con
vtction OF conQuest-call 1t courage,
faith, q ems of destiny, or what you
will-girded him for great tasks and for
great trials. His attitude toward life
was brave and hopefully ~expectant, be-
cause Of his deep trust in God. That
same faith. reinforced by the example
and words Of Jesus himself, Is a young

Thunder Mountain Road.

Jack Mckinney. OF Middle Fork,
was In town Saturday. lie had lust
finished delivery Of eight tons OF
hay at the Sunnyside mine in Thun-
der Mountain for which he received
$40 ton.
lie had tried to contract hay earlier
in the season for sl21 ton, but
everybody expected relief from the
state wagon road until after 1t was
completed and found to be failure.
The grades are 80 steep on this road
from Randall's Transfer TO Roosevelt,
a distance Of S. miles, that 1t is now
and always will be impractical TO use
wagons over It to haul freight. FEED
Is very high at Randall's Transfer ana
there Is no grass or other feed along
this road that Is not freighted In at
great expense. The merchants and
the mine owners baye decided 10
abandon the wagon road, except
where IL Is required for pack trail
and patronize the packers, with their
mules, In the future. 1t Is said that
the Sunnyside mill and machinery
weighing more than 10000 pounds,
cost 10 cents pound for freight
from the railroad at Emmett.
Salmon and Lemhi county now has
an opportunity. A wagon road Is
demanded from the east. The most
practical route Is down Marble creek
to Middle Fork, up Camas creek to
| Three Forks.
1t Is possible, however, to build a
good road up Loon creek to connect
with the Custer road that was built
last summer TO the Lost Packer mine.
Now one OF these roads will be
built. The Sunnyside mill Is being
installed on Marble creek and new
town, Bellco, has fair start neal
by this mill. This town Will be
larger than Salmon within one year.
The interests of Bellco and the
Sunnyslde mine, will build Wagon
road to an eastern connection soon
1t will 90 to Custer by the Los)
Packer route unless something |!
done TO bring 1t this way.
There would be more trade II
Thunder Mountain for Lcmhi count!
than Is now afforded by all local In
terest, within two years.
Practically the only barrier between
Salmon and the immense trade o
, Thunder Mountain Is about 10 mile
of rough canyon along Camas creek
all In this county. This section o
wagon road would cost perhaps So, O0o
The profits on one seasons trad

merchants and farmers OF this valley
A trail down Camas creek whlc
would cost about 81 600, would brin
