The Eastern Idaho Press Club Is
selling book of their own prepare
ton, and has arranged for the three
months ending March First to let
any business men but editors have
copies at a special price of $3.50
each. The book has been selling at
five dollars, and many editors and
attorneys have taken them at that
price, but they have limited num-
Der left and in order to raise the bal
ance of the cost of compiling and
printing them, they make this cut for
ninety days.
The book, or pamphlet, contains
all the laws pertaining to newspaper
printing and legal publications, that
are now effective in Idaho, and Is
of great value to city clerks, officers
of canal corporations, school boards
etc. There are many laws in effect
that were made for the protection of
the public, which people are ignor-
antof, and in many cases village
clerks and clerk of school boards are
doing what they suppose to be their
who'll duty, but at the same time
are liable on their bonds proceeding
for neglecting something that has
not been brot to their attention. The
Press Club employed one of the best
attorneys in the state to compile this
work, and this affords good oppor'
tunity to get it for $3.50. Orders
should be sent to ]. w. Jones Of

are standing firmly on your feet;
then bend slowly at the waist line,
keeping knees stiff, and raise the
clasped hands as far as possible to-

Swing the hands back and forth,
still clasped while you count 20.
When first taking this exercise re-

and body after counting 20. Later on
you will be able to rest by merely
stopping the swinging motion. This
exercise puts flesh on the upper part
