f Cine Paris Square
Place de la Concorde Rightly Called
Most Splendid in Ali Earth's Cities
"
Especial correspondence

The first distinguishing feature of
Paris to impress itself on a majority
Of the thousands of travellers from
every land who annually visit that
peerless city, doubtless is the Place
de la Concorde- Not only is it the
largest square. in the city, but the
finest in the world. Its location, its
spaciousness, and the harmony of
the architecture in the buildings near
it, make, it at once grand, beautiful
and restful.
The square contains nearly twenty
acres of space, not counting the
grounds of avenues, gardens and ap-
proaches about it. From its center
may be had an urban view unparal-
leled in extent and beauty. On the
north the vista of a splendid CONNER
cial street ends at the noble Grecian
portico of the church of the Mede-
laine. Side by side are seen twin
palaces housing governmental depart
ments. Eastward are the famed gar
dens of the Tuileries palace, ending
half mile away, at the palace of the
Louvre, which survived intact when
all but a fragment of the Tuileries
crumbled before the incendiary
torches of the Commune.
Past the south side of the great
square flows the river Seine, spanned
at this point by handsome masonry
bridge, at the far end of which is
the building of the legislative assem-
bly,, shown near the center of this
view. In the distance, to the right,
is seen the dome of the Invalides,
under which is the tomb of Napoleon.
Westward stretches the famous ave-
nue. of the Elysian Fields-the
Champs Elysees-the finest of it's
kind. crowned, mile and half off,
at the summit of slight hill, by Ma
poleon's majestic Arch of Triumph.
Famous City Monuments.
Thanking the inner quadrangle of
the square are monuments to the
eight great cities France possessed
before the war with Germany They
consist of heroic female figures. seat
ed, resting on bases of granite. On
holidays each monument is decorated
with wreaths and garlands, for the
glories of the city they represent;
all except one, the monument to
Strasbourg, which is draped in
mourning wreaths for lost Alsace and
Lorraine. The French are gay and
light-hearted, but you say, on seeing
this, they have long memories for
sorrow.
Nowhere in Paris is there a better
place to study the life of the streets
than in the Place de la Concorde.
Here one sees call Paris that
strange unit which embraces every
element in it's social. fabric. Through
the square pass prince and pauper.
beggar and millionaire, street urchin
and statesman, grand dame and flow
err girl, each in pursuit of such hap
piness as may fall to them, touching
elbows here as nowhere else, without
seeing the chasm between their re-
sPective classes.

UNDER THE BLUE.

The skies are low, the winds are slow.
the woods are filled with autumn
glory:
The mists are still, on field and hill;
the brooklet sings it's jeamy
story.
I careless rove through glen and
grove; dream by hill and copse
and river;
Or in the shade by aspen made / watch
the restless shadows CULVER.
I lift my eyes to azure skies that shed
their tinted glory DER me;
While memories sweet around me
fleet, as radiant as the scene
before me.
For while l muse upon the hues of
autumn skies in splendor given.
Sweet thoughts arise of rare deep blue
of heaven.
Bend low, fair skies! Smile sweet,
fair eyes; from radiant skies
rich hues are streaming;
But in the blue of pure eyes true the
radiance of my life is beaming.
o skies of blue. We fade from view;

But the sure light of sweet eyes bright

Shut Your Mouth.

Shut your mouth. Breathe through
your nose. Never allow yourself,
says a medical writer, unless positive
~ necessary, to breathe through your
mouth. The nose is made to breathe
through. 1t is provided with hairs to
sift the dust out of the air 1t is pro-
vided with warming plates (turbinat-
ed bones) to temper the air. 1t is
provided with apparatus for furnish
ing moisture to the air. All of this is
quite essential before the air is drawn
into the lungs.
Breathe through the nose. Shut
your mouth. Man is a talking ami
NAL. He talks so much he forgets
how to breathe through his nose. In
sir ging. also, it is impossible not to
breathe through the mouth.
A good, brisk walk in the morning,
compelling yourself to breathe
through the nose, is an excellent n.y.
gienic practice. At first it may be
difficult, but persist in doing so. Think
of it all day, whatever you are doing.
Shut your mouth; breathe through
your nose. Keep thinking about it
until you have formed the habit. 1t
may require quite an effort at first.
Lazy people had better not try it.
Some people are too lazy to breathe
anyhow. They go around with their
mouth open, like fish. Keep your
mouth shut Breathe through your
nose.
Bedroom Climate.
A person at the age of 60 years has
spent about twenty years of his life
in his bedroom. Have you Investigate
ed the average sleeping-room climate?
If you were sent as a missionary to
some distant pestilential spot the eli
mate of which was as unhealthful as
that of the average bedroom, would
you not feel that you were risking a
great deal for the sake of the heather?
On the tombstone of tens of thou
sands of those who have died from tu-
berculosis might appropriately be in

To show that this is no exaggera-,
ton. it is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that fully half of
the tubercular patients treated in out
door consumptive hospitals make a
satisfactory recovery Fresh air will
not only cure the disease, but is GER
tainly a wonderful preventive of it.
1t is not more reasonable deliberate
ly to breathe impure air than it is to
drink impure water or eat unhea1thful
food or wear infected clothing.

CARE OF THE BODY
How 10 Acquire and Retain the Priceless Posses
sion of Good Health

How to Xentilate.

With the advent of the cold wealth
er the doors and windows are closed,
largely shutting out the purifying in
f1uences of the fresh air which has so
freely circulated through the house
during the warmer season.
The rude habitations of our pioneer
ancestors, with their capacious open
fireplaces, were superior to our mod
ern palatial dwellings in that there
was always possible an abundant sup
ply of fresh air. Houses of the pres
ent day in our civilized land are made
as nearly alright as architectural
skill can secure, and unless provided
with some systematic mechanical
means of ventilating, the indoor air is
constantly contaminated with breath
poisons and other impurities resulting
from the heating and lighting and
cooking within the house, SO as to
be a constant menace to the health of
the inmates.
Probably the best means of provid-
ing the needed supply of fresh air, is
the open fire with a wide-mouth Chin
ney to act as ventilator. The open
crate is likewise the most healthful
means of heating house; although
so far as fuel alone is concerned. it is
HOT CHe most economical w olSH9u III
the balance with the saving in health,
however, it may be considered a mat
ter of economy.
If other means of heating be en-
ployed, good ventilation can be Sc
cured only by some special arrange
ment for the incoming of fresh air
and the outgoing of foul air. How
this may be we'll accomplished is best
4<JJ j., <~f, rCI1 lr,1O
thority on the subject: 1.-The foul air
outlet should be constructed on the
plan of the fireplace-an opening near
the floor connected with the chimney
or an upright ventilating shaft, the
top of which should extend above the
roof like a chimney. The ventilating
shaft should always be located in an
inside wall, and, if possible, should
be placed next to a chimney which is
always warm. The chimney heats
the duct and increases the draft.
''The opening for the outlet of i'm
pure air should be at the bottom of
the room when the house is heated
by furnace or by other means which
warns the fresh air before it is adj
mitted to the rooms. If the fresh air
is admitted cold, the foul-air outlet
should be at higher level. The best
point is perhaps at about four feet
from the floor. This will secure a
thorough admixture of the air. If the
outlet is at the floor, the cold fresh
air admitted to the room will pass
out before it has been warmed and
used, while the hot foul air VIII ac-
cumulate in the upper part of the
room and thus the change of air will
be imperfect,
1.-TWO openings must be provided to
secure proper ventilation, one for the
entrance of fresh air, the other for
the exit of foul air. 1t is in every
way better that the air should be
heated, at least partially, before it
enters the room, as this will to
large degree prevent the formation of
cold layer about the floor

la Concorde dates from 1895, and is
significant of the spirit of relief in
which the city sought to wipe out the
memory of the horrors of the revolu-
ton But the square did not cease
with the revolution to be a place of
unhappy memories to France. In
1914 the PrusSians and Russians were
encamped here, and in 1915 the vic

German army bivouacked here for
two days, while Bismarck frightened
his grip on the throat of PROSTATE

a leading scene has always been
played.

her friends here, Miss Iva Shaw:

you a few lines and let you know
that / am no longer among the

where there is no beauty All
there is here are very small hills

it does not drift except in few of
the most exposed parts of the val

strong winds being one of the
charms of the valley. AS an in

many people keep their cattle out
without shelter all winter, throwing
their feed on the snow. The wealth
er is not excessively cold, men feed

sharp snap will sometimes last two
or three days. The ground usually
does not freeze, snow covering 1T be-
fore heavy frosts set in, so that as
soon as snow is off in the spring
work may commence. Winter is
the time when most of the work in

The new wagon road to Thunder
Mountain comes up the valley to
Thunder City, whence it turns east
and follows Big creek and on to
the famous gold camp. This road
is also the mail route for the new
mining town of Roosevelt. There
is considerable talk of extending
the Idaho Northern railway from
Emmett along this road, and it is
said that work on the extension
will commence early this coming
summer.
Another road to Thunder Noun

This road will touch Lardo on the

junction of the O. S. l.. and p. a. |. N.

to Council, where connection is made
by freight teams, which pass
through Meadows, on to the Payette
Lake and thence to Warren. There
are two or three trails to Thunder
