Many settlers On the Payette- Boise
reclamation project have misunderstood
a circelar letter issued by the reclama-
sioG service and feel that it is necessary
for them to rehnquish at once any land
they may have entered in excess of 80
acres. The reclamation service is on
gagged in preparing maps in connection
with the proposed reduction Of the unit
to so acres and has sent out letters to
entrymen asking those who hold 1850
acres which 80 they wish TO hold. This
circular recitss that it has been deter
mined that so acres shall be the unit
and is so worded that the circular
itself is incorrectly construed rs an
order to relinquish. Consequently the
local office is heseiged with inquir-

No order has yet been promulgated

Poverty and Luxury.

Poverty and luxury-these are the
diseases Of our industrial regime, to
the cure of which the Socialists offer
their Intellectual ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
since the population Of the United
States is made up of 100000 indi-
viduals, some of whom will be forever
on the verge Of bankruptcy, however
great their income, and some frugal
and always carrying their account on
the right side Of the balance sheet,
however small their annual allotment
Of wealth.
Poverty and luxury are twin diseases
sapping the life Of society, the one
destroying ambition by Withholding
sufficient nourishment to the body, the
other rendering men worthless to so
ciety by superabundance of the good
things Of life. Poverty is a disease
not indigenous to our American soil.
1t is plague brought in by immigrant
ships from wornout Europe, and the
patients are cured here by the thou
Bands. So long as there remains an
uncultivated acre of land anywhere in
the Union there is no real cause for
poverty nor any excuse for luxury

Remedy For CHOKING.

'Raising the left arm as high as You
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act of humping ones
back" said a physician, land 1t Is
well that every one should know II,
for often a person gets choked while
eating where there is no one near to
thump him. Very frequently at meals
and when they are at play children
get choked while eating, and the Gus
tomary manner of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand of the
child as high as possible. and the re-
lief comes much more quickly. In
happenings of this kind there should
be no alarm. for If the child sees that
older persons or parents get excited
the effect is bad The best thing IL
to tell the child to raise it's left arm.
and Immediately the difficulty passes
away"

He looked at her with such concen-

Every one pictures the Italian as

you that the Italians, taking them as Il

this is virtually true. Macaroni in Italy
costs to 8 cents a pound, and it is
too costly for common use. 1t is about

i've on macaroni as that the Ameri-
cans live on turkey Macaroni to the
working Italian is luxury. You Otter

Americans would eat ice cream. a
customary worlSman's dinner is hunk
of bread broken apart and "buttered"
with few traces of tomato sauce. As
for meat, 1t is the greatest rarity. and
the only drink they can afford Is wa
ter, which has the advantage Of being
cheap and filling. The Italians at
home are not only temperate, but alb
stemious. Wine and beer and even
tea. coffee and chocolate are forbidden
to them on account Of the expense. In
all Italy we saw no one under the In
fiuence Of liquor. So also there IL
practically no smoking. The govern
ment has a monopoly Of the tobacco
business, buys its supplies in quaint
