Early to bed
And early to rise,
Work like hell
And advertise.
The Board OF County Commis-
sioners met in regular session
yesterday.
r. B. Vandervort, who is a
cigar maker, will start a cigar
factory in Challis soon.
D. Wick Shanafelt went down
to Iron creek last Tuesday, and
will spend a couple of weeks at
home.
Born-At the Challis hospital
on October 9th, 1909, to the wife
of Albert Blume. Both baby and
mother doing fine.
John Ada was brought down
from Stanley last week, and is
in the hospital receiving treat
ment for pneumonia.
r. w. Morphey was over from
May last week taking the teach
ers' examination. Mr.. Morphey
will teach the Ellis school this
term.
DR.. Lynn's new drug store
building is progressing nicely.
1t is two story building and
makes quite an addition to the
east end of town.
The new bank building is be-
ing heightened five feet. The
foundation is completed, and
work will soon be commenced
laying the concrete blocks.
VIM. Babcock's new steam
threshing traction engine and
separator, came putting up
through Main street last week,
and the whole town was out to
see it, thinking, perhaps, it
might be the Pittsburg & Gil
more railroad coming.
The Pittsburg & Gilmore rail
road surveyors have completed
a permanent railroad survey for
that road up to what is known as
the Watson bridge, IL miles be-
low Challis, and hope to have
the survey completed up to this
place next week, as they will
soon enter Round valley, and
then have an open country for
several miles. When they reach
here, will not stop, if the wealth
er permits, but keep on running
the line up Salmon river until
winter sets in. They are survey
ing both sides of Salmon river,
but think the west side the best
for the road. Their next camp
move will be up in this valley.
Mr.. Butler was in town last
week from Stanley, figuring on
putting an electric light plant in
Challis, but the city council did
not grant him a franchise under
the terms he asked. The city
for the franchise wanted at least
four free arc lights on Main
street free, but would not agree
to give them any free lights. The
plant, he said, would cost S., 900,
but ask $4,000 for it if the city
wanted buy it within one year
His rates were 81 90
per month for a 16-candle power
light, but # you took three or
more lights he would put them
on meter. In addition he want
ed $500 per light for wiring.
The town needs the lights and
needs water works mighty badly
and the city should own both.
For say S6,O both could be put
in-the same water used for the

From information which was given
out saturday at the State House it APP
pears that the baseball fever has broh
en- out among the employees of the
State and that q number of them have
it bad. Symptoms of the fever are al
ways manifest during the summer
months among those who work beneath
the bronze green dome of the Capitol
but it is seldom that they become vio-
lent enough for the victims to get to-
gether and want to play the game.
That has become a fact, however, just
at present and an organization has
been effected, the makeup being as fol-
lows: Allen and Kingsley, pitchers;
Lang, catcher; Giddings, short; ONE
liza, first and captain; Glendenning
second; Hodgkins, third Heifernan,
left; Beazley, center; Doughty, right 1t
is expected that Enforcement Commits
sioner Havey, the former well-known
Bowdoin College player, will act as
coach for the team. Practice will be-
gin at once and it is probable that the
first game will be played with the local
team known as the Savages.

Doctor Lassar, the famous German pro-.

This should be done daily in the beginning,
and as the scalp assumes a more normal

quently. In any event, the head and hair
should be cleansed at least twice week
with a reliable wash. 1t is just as neces-
sary to keep the head and hair clean as to
keep the face and hands clean. The old
idea that shampoo once month or two
was sufficient is positively wrong. There
is no remedy that will make hair grow
after the roots are dead. There is no rem
edy for the hair of any special value unless
it cleanses and restores' the scalp to
healthy, soft, smooth, natural condition.
So far as we know, Birt's Head Wash is
the only thing of the kind that you can

not an ordinary shampoo, and it is not
sold as a shampoo. It is a wash for the

The Augusta. Hallowell and Gardi-

Saturday, June 26, inthe three cities. for
which arrangements have been made
for some time, for the benefit Of the
w. c. r.. u. Temporary Home for Chill
dren which is located in Gardiner.
These unions have for many years
been caring for poor children and find
ing homes for the homeless, until the
need of home in which they may be
cared for until permanent homes can
be found for them has become impera-
tive. A large house has been bought
on Highland avenue, Gardiner, with
stable and 10 acres of land known as
the Harrington property, which is well
adapted to a home for children.
Chaperons have been appointed fOc
the different wards, and it is hoped
that a large number of boys and girls
will act as aids, and make the w. e.
T. u. Tag day success.

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY.
Successful Observance at Penney
Memorial Free Baptist Church.

The children had the right of way at
the services at the Penney Memorial
Free Baptist church Sunday morning
and evening. The pulpit was banked
with syringas and other floral decora
lions were arranged appropriate to the
occasion. At the morning service many
of the little folks We're present in the
congregation and the pastor, Rev. c.
G. Mosher preached a sermon appro-
pirate to the day, which was very
thoughtful and helpful and all in Ian
guage that the little folks could readily
understand. Special music added to the
interest of the service.
The large auditorium was complete
ly filled on the occasion of the evening
concert, which commenced at 7.3O and
the entire program of which was rem
dered by the children of the Sunday
school. The parts were all we'll taken,
rejecting credit alike upon the chill
drcn and those who had so carefully
trained them for their parts. The pro-
gram was as follows:

Sunday morning by an alarm from box

street owned by Mrs. J. S. Hendee and
occupied by her son, Warren II. Hem

due to an overheated chimney and is
thought to have been smouldering since

bors smelled smoke at that time The

JUST ONE A DAY.
How the Coffee Drinker Compromises
His Health.

Some people say: Coffee don't hurt
me-" and then add: Anyway 1 only
drink one cup a day"
If coffee really don't hurt why not
drink more? There is but one answer
and that is coffee does hurt them and
they know it. When they drink it
once a day they compromise with their
enemy. They are people whom one cup
of coffee a day will put in bed, if the
habit be continued.
Although warned by physicians to
let coffee alone / have always been so
fond of it that I continued to use it,
cOnfesscs an Ohio lady. II compromised
with myself and drank just one cup
every morning until about six weeks
ago.
'All the time I was drinking coffee I
had heart trouble that grew steadily
sensations in my head sometimes
causing me to fall DOWN that I at last
took by doctors advice and quit coffee
and began to use Postum in it's place.
1.-The results have. been all that the
doctor hoped, for / have not only lost
my craving for coffee and enjoy my
good Postum just as well, but my heart
trouble has ceased and / have no more
dizzy spells IN my head. I feel better
in every way and consider myself a
very fortunate woman to have found
the truth about Postum
Look in pkg. for the famous little
book, 1.-THE Road to- Wellville."
There's Reason"
Ever read the above letter? A New
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest.
