SMALLPOX at Star.

Star, Idaho, Dec. 2e, Ieo3.-
Especial to THE TR1BUNE)-Two
cases Of smallpox are reported at
Central Park, two miles below

at the butcher grading camp, about
FIVE miles below on the other side

H. E. Nutting, who is interested
in the coal find in Indian valley,
says that there is more in imagina-
ton than people usually believe.
One time Mr.. Nutting was in
building when it collapsed and was
caught between the timbers. At
the time of the collapse there was
big stove in the building which was
red hot. He was pinned down and
remained in that position for sew
eral hours. When taken out his
leg was broken, he had lost an eye
and received numerous other in
juries. While he was held a pris-
oner Mr.. Nutting imagined that
the building had caught fire and
that he was gradually being burned
to death. He says that his imagin-
alton was so strong that his back
was blistered.-Emmett Index.

Mr.. Schubert went along to assist
George in selecting the necessary
equipment for a first class hotel, and

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR.

Quartz Glass.

Quart glass consists essentially Of
melted quartz, which is made into
tubes and other articles. 1t is per.
fectly translucent. The initial ex,
periments in the manufacture OF
the new glass were made in Eng,
land. .. The manufacture of quartz
glass has shown symptoms OF vigor'
Gus growth. While two years age
England led in its production, she
has since been relegated to second
place by Germany. The properties
Of quartz glass are such that it will
soon replace ordinary glass fol-
many uses. If quartz glass can be
produced at a moderate price-and
it seems to be quite possible where
electric force can be cheaply obtain
ed from water power-it will no
doubt be largely employed, especial.
ly in the chemical and electrical in,
