Republican platform of Idaho
promised local option.

tween 60 and 90 days from the

whether liquors shall be sold in
any county or not. The commits
sioners are not given any dis
creticn but must call the cleo
ton if the petition is signed.
The special election shall not be
held within so days of any gen
eral election, and the day for
election shall be Wednesday.
TIE petition may be presented
at any regular meeting Of the
board of county commissioners.

N.Y. announces that the army Is pre-
pared 10 give no less than so free
Christmas dinners 10 the poor this

so.
The citizens of Houghton are urged

help this worthy cause will find that
foodstuffs are very acceptable. as are

vide Christmas dinners is worthy
one, and viii be carried out along the
same lines followed in other cities. The

Northwestern Company Will Use Them

on Part OF Its System,
a number of the railway companies
operating In the states have used tele-
phones for train despatching with sue
cess during the past year or two. but
they are being utilized principally I'm
regions where regular telegraph sta
tions are closed during the winter
months. The Chicago and Northwest

ing 20 use telephones .for despatching.
The management has purchased from
the Western Electric company appar-
atus for complete telephone train
despatching circuit extending from
Chadron. Neb.. TO Long Pine, Neb., a
distance of 1873 miles
Telephone dispatching is of spe-
cial value in regions such as that be-
tween Chadron and Long Pine owing
to the fact that during certain seasons
of the year many OF the stations con-
sist simply of sidings. During a large
portion OF the year these stations are
important shipping points for the
ranchers. In many places there are
no telegraph stations and at such
points telephones will be installed.

pharmaceutical names are i'm Latin
These terms would have TO be i'm Latin

different parts OF the same country be-
cause drugs and plants used in medl-
cine are often known by different
names i'm different sections.
Thus a prescription calling for Ger
tain drugs in San Francisco might be
composed of entirely different ingred-
tents in New York with results that
would be obviously disastrous to the
patient
'Laymen may not realize the impor-
lance OF this but II is a fact that it
would be positively dangerous for ply
sicians TO prescribe in the vernacular.
For instance morphine and other mar
eotics are sometimes used in small
quantities i'm medicine. If the patient
were to know that morphine was part
OF the remedy which relieved his suf-
fering there would be a tendency on

relief The next time the patient be-

toms Of the disease for which he re-
ceived that prescription his first i'm
pulse is TO use the same medicine.
Everyone knows that this tendency
exists. When a man gets a prescrip-
ton that gives relief he tells his friends
and even offers TO lend TO others who
may be suffering from an entirely diff
terent trouble which the treatment ne I
received might aggravate rather than
relieve.
