lie adjoining the original site select
ed for the town OF Twin Falls, but
as reasonable grade could not be
secured for the railroad 1t was
changed to school sections about six

testants of these lands dropped con-
tests on a compromise whereby they
we're to receive one-half of the acre
age.
Some 20 witnesses from that coun-
ty are here and II indictments are
returned 1t Is probable that they will
charge both conspiracy and perjury
The matters under investigation
have been going on for Ave or six
years. and 1t Is stated that some OF
these lands can not be put under
water. The testimony in a subse'
quent set of contests brought tht

suits in curing tuberculosis of the
bone. demonstrated in a FIVE weeks,

Children, today turned the attention to
a treatment discovered by DR.. Emil
Beck of this city. The treatment, which
promises to bring relief to large per-
centage of sufferers from this form of
the great white plague, is simplicity it
self and consists for the most part in
filing the cavity caused by the disease
with a metallic salt, bismuth subni-
trate, combined with basis of vasO-
line.
The discovery was incidental to an
X-ray photograph of a little invalid.
The solution was applied TO fix the
outline of a tubercular abscess and be
ing left in the cavity proved a healing
agent
DR. Beck told his discovery to Drs.
John Ridden and Wallace Blanchard at
the Home for Destitute Crippled Chill

Of 40 crippled children were cured by
the treatment. The formula contains
80 grains of bismuth subnitrate, COM
bined with so grams of vaseline The
paste so formed is solid at the tenn
