plant which jeff Jones found iniur-
Ing his alfalfa. l have examined the
plant and find II to be dodder. It is
a parasitic plant which grows from
very small seed. As soon as the
plant is tall enough to entwine the
stalks of alfalfa, clover or flax. II
fastens iteself to the plant so en-
twined, and the lower part OF the dod-
der dies. The plant then draws its
sustenance from the plant to which
1t has fastened itself. 1t will spread
quite rapidly, and should be exter-
minated as speedily as possible.
In Wyoming, where the dodder
gives considerable trouble. the plan
usually followed to kill 1t when 1t
appears in small patches is to cut
and rake 1t and burn it. In order to
make sure job of it, 1t is well to
cover the entire spot with straw and
burn this also.
When dodder infests a. field abund-
antly a solution of copper sulphate
(blue vitriol) consisting of one
pound of the sulphate to four gallons
OF water, is considered a good reme-
dy. 1t should be applied at the rate
of so gallons per acre. However, II
the patches are properly looked after,
there will be no need of such general
treatment.
If an attempt to kill the pest by
cultivation is made, the soil should
not be plowed more than two inches
deep and should be stirred frequent
ly until all the seeds have germinated
and the plants are destroyed.

COMBINATION TO GET WOOD.
Two Boise Fuel Dealers VIII Get 1000
Cords Wood. a.l I'll sr,',

COruS WOOD. b a... ID tr.f.
The people, generally are opposed
to combinations. but in view of the
scarcity of fuel they may be pleased
to know that a combination has been
formed here by two coal and wood
dealers with a view of relieving the
conditions which will likely come
with the cold weather, says the Boise
Statesman. '.# ......
These dealers have united their
efforts toward securing a supply of
wood, which It is likely II not sold
before will be of great convenience
next winter. They have contracted
for about 1000 cords of wood near
Council in upper Washington county,
and may be able to secure even
core than that amount. Wood chop
pers are being advertised for and it
is expected wood will commence to
arrive in Boise early next month. 1t
is pine wood and green, but will read
lily dry out in such weather as is now
prevailing, it is stated. &.
AS the dealers cannot get any re-
duction of railroad rates on wood
the fuel will come high to
those who buy it. The dealers say
they have figured closely and are
getting the wood only to offer relief
to an inevitably bad situation to come
and do not expect to make much on
the deal, they say.
The wood will cost them $3.50 at
the railroad at Evergreen and the
freight from there, to Boise will be
$2,25 on the cord. On account of
measuring the capacity of cars by
cubic feet, they say they will stand
to lose considerable in the shipment
of wood, as d box car will not hold
as many cords as is measured BY Gu
bic feet, yet the freight on the full
measurement must be paid for. AS
an example of this one Of the dealers
states he recently paid freight on
IS cords and received only II.
To unload the wood here, cut and
haul II to wherever 1t may be order
ed, 1t is estimated, the cost will be as
much more to bring the cost of get
ting wood to the consumer up to
S8.25. The wood will be delivered
here at SIP per cord. .
1t would seem that s1.75 profit on
a cord Of wood is plenty, but the
dealers say they do not expect to be
able to get much Of the wood here
except In box cars and the cubic
measurement of cars will make
great difference In the amount of
wood car will actually hold. There
fore, they say, they, expect, consider
able loss in getting shipments to
Boise.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 1o.-What is ad-
mittedly the most drastic antitrust
law ever passed by any state iegisla-
ture becomes effective in Texas to-
day. having been passed at the re-
cent special session of the lgisla-
ture. According to Attorney Gener-
al Davidson, however, reports that
theact would serve to prevent Texas
merchants from handling trust made
goods are not true. The law will be
applied only to the agents and rep
rcsentatives of trusts operating in
Texas and not to merchants or job
bers buying their goods In the open
market. Any trader who is doing his
own business may buy and sell trust
made goods without limit.
The penalties under the new law
apply only to persons or corporations
who become agents of trusts under
exclusive agreements and who will
fully and knowingly promote the in
terests of trusts or illegal combina-
tions. r.F .....
'',rhe entire purpose and effect of
this statute says Attorney General
A, w Davidson, "is to make 1t fell
ony for any person or firm or cor
poration TO organize outside of or
within this state or to carry on or
maintain in this state any monopoly
or conspiracy in restraint of trade.
Experience has demonstrated that
our former laws defining trusts, mo-
nopolies and conspiracies in restraint
OF trade and prescribing penalties for
violation thereof were entirely made
quate to meet existing conditions. It
was to met these conditions and to
reach those who were active in the
creation and maintenance Of trusts,
as, for instance, officers, employees
and agents OF trusts. and not to ex-
tend the definition of trusts to em-
brace those who purchase trust made
goods, that this statute was enacted.

DIET AND THE COMPLEXION.

Women who want to ave a good COM
plexlon should take to heart the remarks
of DIR. G.. H. Fox IN the subject of diet
and the skin. DR.. Fox declares that more
compilations suffer because of overeating
than from almost any other cause.
For every patient suffering from lnfam-
matory skin disease who is eating too lit
tie and suffering from lack of nourlsh-
ment," he says In the Journal Of Cutaneous
Diseases, I'VE meet a score or more who
eat far more than they actually need and
feed the eruptions for which they seek
relief.
In advising our patients What TO eat
it is wrong to say Don't eat this or don't
eat that for one might spend an hour or
more In making out an expurgated diet
list and still leave foods unmentioned
which might, II taken In excess or at the
wrong time, prove extremely detrimental
1t Is far better to nam a few nutritious
and easily digested articles. Limit the
patient to these for a short time.
1T is not what a patient eats so much
as 1t is how and when and under what
circumstances he eats 1t that tends to the
production OF an infiammatory condition
of the skin. Hasty eating, irregular eat
ing and meals taken under the stress of
excitement and worry are the daily ex-
periences of many of our patients, rich
and poor"

IT wish I could make my children have
more confidence in themselves said a
tired little woman over the back fence to
a neighbor the other day; they depend
upon me for every little thing, so that
with my other responsibilities 1 hardly
know what to do"
Don't you think you are greatly to
blame for it?" said the %neighbor, who
was the mother Of six lusty boys. "The
trouble is. you do not give your children
responsibilities, you make them feel that
any little work they might perform to
help you is a burden on them, and II
shouldn't be Il managed right"
This wise woman knew of she
spoke. She had brought her family up to
be OF assistance to her as we'll as to one
another. and her children. h for the
most part are fullgrown; bless her for It.
The Oldest boy. when he was able to walk
and talk. was made to understand that
he was to LOOK after the next youngest
little brother. with the result that he took
a certain amount of pride in the help he
was able to render the mother.
Many a mother grows old. faded and
feeble long before her time because her
boys and girls are not thoughtfully con-
siderate and helpful. Mothers are greatly
to blame for this condition of affairs. for
when the children are old enough to be of
service In the home and lend a helping
hand. mother has become so accustomed
to taking upon her shoulders all the cares
that she forgets to instruct her children
In the many little duties which they might
perform with much credit to themselves
and less hurry and worry for her. She
forgets to lay aside her burdens little by
little as the strong young shoulders of her
little ones are ready to receive them.
1t is mostly her fault. to be sure. but 1t
is a fault committed out of love and mis-
taken kindness toward her children.
1 was talking to a woman in her home
a few days ago. who Is the mother of a
large family. and as I was about to leave
she called a lovely young girl from one
of the upper rooms.

Pride and happiness shone In the coun-
tenance of both mother and daughter, and

much in common between them.

THE QUESTION OF DRESS.

The few days of the last week which
were as balmy as summer, brought forth
nan beautiful dresses for summer wear,
and the fiuttering ruffles and white rib
bons were seen in glad array. How quickly
women turn from the colored frocks to
the white dresses. for there is actual COM
fort in wearing such garments. Every
one wears white, from the baby to the
grandmother. and for general wear there
is nothing neater, p~rettier or more suit
able. There are countless fabrics for the
white dress, and countless more for styles
to initiate. so 1t is possible to have a
number of white dresses In your wardrobe
and no two alike. The sheer dress has its
place and the heavier linens fulfill SO
many splendid purposes they cannot be
eliminated from the list of summer
dresses.
For So one can purchase a splendid linen
skirt, ready made, and very stylish look

of finer material, being no better in work.

dresses are expensive, and one can save
half the price by purchasing material and
making the dress at home.

STRAWBERRY PUDDING.

For this pudding will be needed three
pints of berries, one pint of water, one
lemon, sliced, one and one-half cupfuls of
sugar, two tablespoonfuls of co~rnstarch,
one cupful double cream and almond ex-
tract. Stem the berries and reserve one
pint of the finest ones. sprinkling them
lightly with sugar and setting In the re-
frigerator. Place the other two pints of
berries with the pint of water n the
lemon In a saucepan and cook for twenty
five minutes; then strain and add the
sugar and cornstarch, having previously
dissolved the cornstarch in a little cold
water. Cook slowly until sufficiently thick,
according to taste. Rinse a pudding mould
with cold water and put into 1t one-half
of the pudding mixture and one-half of
the reserve berries. then put in the re-
mainder of the pudding mixture and finish
with the berries. Set the filled mould In
the icebox to become chilled, whip the
cream until very stiff, sweetening to taste,
and flavor lightly with almond extract and
serve with the pudding.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

If a tablespoonful of peroxide is placed
in two tablespoonful of water and used
as a gargle 1t will prove an excellent
remedy for tonsilitis. About ten drops
of peroxide in a half glass of water used
to clean the teeth will remove tartar and
harden the gums. A few drops of peroxide
put on an open wound Immediately will
take out the poison. The wound should
be bathed every day in water to which a
few drops of the peroxide have been
added, and 1t will heal very quickly.
For young trees and shrubs this is a
Western idea that the East may well
adopt. Set an elbow pipe beside the
newly planted thing so that the top may
be level with the ground n the crook
reach in directly to the roots. Then water
your tree through the pipe; every drop
will go where 1t will do the most good.
To remove machine oil, wash in cold
water and Ivory soap.
