Men Past Fifty In Danger

Men past middle life have found
comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney
Remedy, especially for enlarged pros
tate gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L. Z. Morris,
Dexter, KY, writes: "Up to a year
ago my father suffered from kidney
and bladder trouble and several physi-
clans pronounced it enlargement Of the
prostate gland and advised an opera
ton. On account of his age we were
afraid he could not stand it and |
recommended Foley's Kidney Remedy
and the first bottle relieved him, and
after taking the second bottle he was
no longer troubled with this COM
plaint." Sold by J. J. Pulse. x

Fruit Inspector Here.

w. H. Mohl, fruit inspector for
Nez Perce and Idaho county, passed
through Grangeville the last Of the
week on his return from tour Of in-
spection in the Salmon and Snake
river countries. He says he finds the
Idaho county fruit trees pretty free
from disease of all kinds and will be
back in about month to inspect the
orchards on the prairie as well as the
Salmon river country. He says the
soil and climatic conditions in the
Salmon and Snake river section is the
finest in all Idaho for fruit raising
and predicts the land will be sold fol-
$500 an acre down there in few
years, transportation being all now
that holds the country back.

thing that many coaches and mama
gers are not able to do, especially in
smaller schools.
In the grades good faithful work
has been done by all the teachers,
every teacher deserves praise.
The establishment of mixed
grade was success and should be
kept up for the coming year. In the
lower grades nearly all who were
regular in attendance were promoted.
More have been promoted to the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades than
these rooms will seat. Last year
diplomas were given to "a members

the high school. Now "A eighth

seat to be filled during the first week

more teachers will be needed in both

longer to secure desks than teachers
and it would be wise to order ad-
ditional seats before school opens.
A few words as to the work done in
the high school. The salary paid for
teachers there was about $500 in
stead of $4,000 as some have calcula-
ted. The total enrolment was "a

The Ball Came.

The ball game played here Friday
afternoon between the Sites business
men and their Grangeville brethren
was one of the biggest crowd getting
features we have had for some time,
perhaps due to the small admission
or maybe to the excellent game. But
really it was most interesting even
though not very close, the score being
II to 20 in favor of Grangeville.
Bnnnell, who umpired was accused
by some of having been bought-uf
