Young wcmsn of Boise, Idaho, Have Organization and Choose
 Victims by Lot.

., Boise, Idaho. has a fully organized saicide club. That it is ready for busi- ness and has already transacted con siderable business Is shown by the fact that at least three Of It's members have @shufsed off'' by the suicide route with la period of as many months.

THE CAUSE OF LEPRosY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng land, Says It Is the Eating of
 Decomposing Fish.

The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of England, after study of leprosy as it appears in various parts of the world, is that the disease is caused wholly by eating decomposing or imperfect. ly cured fish. The London Times is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin. sons idea. It is held that in all countries and in all ages leprosy has been and is still due to the consumption of "high" fish. The preference for fish in tainted condition is an acquired taste' and it is claimed that it prevails among a sufficient number of peo- pie to account for the dreadful dis. ease wherever it exists. Leprosy was nearly general in England and on the continent in the six. teenth century, and it is claimed still prevails in many fishing sta. tions, especially in Norway, Ice. land and Tracadie. It is repre-. sented that at these places there is still a preference for fish in a tainted condition. It is noted, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that in regions where leprosy was formerly common, it has disap- peared with the advancement of agriculture and the discarding of fish for food. In India vegetari- ans are free from it, but the fish. eaters are much troubled. Dr. Hansen, of Bergen, discovered that persons having leprosy carry in their tissue a bacillus resem- bling that of tuberculosis, and the disease is thought to be a mod. ification of tuberculosis, caused by specific virus developed in de. caying fish. The scientists, espe. cially those whose direction is in the medical line, are always mak- ing it harder to get along in the world; but 1t is probably better to give heed to their theories, even if there may be nothing in them, for it may happen that little care in the selection of the dried fish we eat may add few years to life; and if is the general agreement that life is none TOO loug at best

THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Cover an Immense Territory, and That When the Roads
 Are Worst

"Of all the men medt on my rounds of the state there is none for whom l have as great respect as l have for the country doctor" said the Southdown drummer the other day, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. "The city physician is often a pretty hard working man if he has much of a practice, but he knows few of the trials that the country doctor faces the year round. The coun. try doctor is tine modern mar. tyr, and take it all through he is the best read and most aggres- sive citizen of his community.
 'The country phsician who is we'll established usually has q practice that covers a territory of at least a hundred square miles. There is hardly week in the year that he does not have patients at the extreme opposite boundary lines of his territory. 1 know one old doctor down the state who drives an average dis. tance of 20 miles a day every day in the year. Of course there are days when he does not drive five miles a day, but there are other times when he drives 30 or 40 miles a day.
 "The worst side of country practice, these doctors say, is that the greater part of the sick ness comes during the worst kind of weather. When the roads are good and the weather is fine pee pie are, not so apt to be sick, but when winter comes on and the roads are rough or muddy the country doctor is the man who has to be out and going.
 "The mud roads of Illinois have shipped ten years off the lives of the majority of the doc. tors. One physician told me he was the first man of his family name to become gray, and he laid the blame to exposure.
 'The country doctor is not merely a physician. He is a sort of family counselor, nurse, spirit. ual and legal adviser. I heard of a physician down in the southern part of the state who conducted & sort of vest-pocket bank and loaned money and discounted notes for nearly every farmer within the range of his practice.
 "Yes, sir, I always take off my hat to the country doctor wher- ever I meet him."

The food value of the things con. sumed amounted to 8,491 calories. This made the average amount consumed 1,0S1.8 calories. Ac- cording to the textbook prepared by Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, of the Boston Science school, only 966.3 calories are necessary to sustain men and women working moder. Itely hard.
 Miss M. B. Vail, instructor in do. mestic. science at Teachers col lege, who had charge of the lunch. con, says that p cents would be . fair average for all meals, so that persons who pay more than $240.90 year are doing injustice to themselves and their pockt. books.

sciENTlFIc BILL OF FARE.
\ 0sod, Wholesome Meal Need Csst No Mere Than 22 Csats--
 An ExpsriNsat.

To live luxuriously on s8 cents | day has been made easy by the department of domestic science at Teachers college, Columbia uni. versity. Meals at g cents apiece have been prepared, and, what is more to the point, eaten with ap- parent relish by unbiased per. sons, says the New York Sun.
 Inaddition, the chemical constit. uents in the food have been care fully weighed and measured, and 1t has been discovered that enough proteids, fats and carbo- hydrates exist in the 22-cent meal to support men working with the customary expenditure of force. At least, the textbooks say that the quantities are all right.
 The manner in which the discey. cry was made is somewhat as fol. lows: Dean Russell planned a luncheon to some friends, and thought it would be a clever idea to have the meal prepared by the department of domestic science. The teachers laid out the plan of battle and the students did tho cooking.
 The luncheon was served .te six persons. The total cost of atsri. als was $2.02, from which was de. ducted the value of the food not actually consumed. This brought the total cost down to 1.28 fer the six persons.
 This was the menu:

ENTERTAINMENT COURSE
 PROMISES TREATS

The Cause Chapter U. D. o., has been successful in bringing to Newport course of high class attractions the first number of which will be the Royal Hun garian Court Orchestra, whose repertoire consists of compo- sitions of such masters as Ross mi, Wagner, Apt, and others no less renowned.
 That the people of our commu- nifty have presented to them the opportunity of hearing such mu- sic, much credit is due the work of the local chapter and their in- terest in introducing such talent to Newport music-lovers, should prove not only a financial suc- cess to the chapter, but a benefit to the patrons as well.
 The Hungarian Orchestra will be heard at the Newport opera house October 27th, and will, no doubt, be greeted with a crowded house.
 The noted actor, Mir. Frederick Warde, will also appear later, delivering one of his well known lectures.

THE COASTER sUBsIDED.
Drummer Dragged of Getting Big Order, Then Was Cleverly Ex-
 posed by Joker.

The habitues of a certain sub. urban hostelry had long been weary of the boastful chatter of an intermittent guest of the com mercial fraternity, and it was with rare satisfaction that they recently saw him annihilated, so to speak, says the New York Times.
 "Had splendid day." he opened up as usual; "spent an hour in old Simons' store over in Rye and came out with a $2,000 order"
 He produced notebook in sub. stantiation, as Old Simons'" atti. tude toward gentlemen of his ilk was we'll known, and the incredul- ity of his audience was not masked. The notebook was hand ed around for inspection and halt. ed with a gray-haired stranger over in the corner.
 "Oh, yet-the entry's all right enough" he said, mildly, "but-- it's very strangew
 "What's strange" demanded the commercial man of might.
 "Why, how it got there. I have no recollection of giving any such order, and if you will kindly tell me which of my employees author ized it you will be conferring fa vor upon me. Ysu evidently don't recognize me as Mir. Simons, of the Rye firm, but"
 But the erstwhile boaster had wilted out of sight. His quondam victims roared with delight.
 q say, that's richw exclaimed one of them; fits worth $50 to see you take him down like that, Mir Simonsw
 "I didn't say was Mir. Simons, sir," returned the meek-looking stranger; Gin fact, I don't know the gentleman-any more than the young man himself didw

RHEUMATISM CURED
 By Paracamph. Lsr E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th St., New York City, Says:

q nave used Paracamph in severe case of Rheunlatism, and will say that got immediate, relief. I have tried almost every preparation that is now before the public, and find that Paracamphi is with out question the best remedy for Rheu- iilatism. wish you success and heartily recomtned Paracamph !"
 MT Hawkins is only ore out of many thousands that have been cured by the wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph This new remedy is scientific prepara- ton which when applied, opens the pores of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool ing oils to penetrate to seatof the ailment, removing the soreness and congestion, drawing out the fever and inflammation by inducing sweating. It sweats out the pain and aches, and this is Natures plan.
 Don't ruin your stomach with strong internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu- ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee Paraeamph to relieve and cure you if used as directed. If it fails your druggist will refund your money. If your druggist don't handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
 If he won't do this send direct to us. But don't take any substitute because there isnothing just as good. Paracamph issold only in a5 cent, 50 cent, and $I .oo bottles.
 The 50 cent size contains three times as much as the 25 cent size; the $I .oo bottles eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

Philippine Positions Net Wanted.
 Positions in the Philippines seem to % begging. Several months ago Col Edwards. chief of the insular bureau, called upon the civil service commits sion to certify candidates for 15e teachers positions paying from $2,o00 ts $seo per annum. There were few applicants. fewer took the examina- uon, and only 42 were found eligible for appointment. Another examina- ton will therefore, Dc held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- ton for these positions, and the du- ties or pay of pedagogus dc not seem to appeal to the young men of the country.
