TELEGRAM CONFIRMS
CHEAP OIL RATES
o. S. L. Railroad Makes Rate of Fif-
ty Cents Per Hundred on Smudge
Oil from Point Richmond to South
ern Idaho Points-Makes oil Cost
Five and Quarter Gents per
Gallon.
Salt Lake. Ut, Dec. 21st., 9.

II. E. Dunn,

ii. e. Dunn,
Payette, Idaho.
For your information we have ar
ranged with Southern Pacific and
SanPedro to publish as soon as can
be done legally fifty cent rate on
smudge oil car loads from Point Rich
mond and Los Angeles to Payette
and other western Idaho stations.
This in lieu Of seventy-five cent
rate formerly agreed on of which you
were advised. This very low basis
is made in the hope that it will be
widely utilized by fruit growers in
protecting orchards from frost.
viii appreciate if you will give it
publicity so growers can take advan-
tage of it. F. H. PLAISTED.
The above telegram the first of this
week from Oregon Short Line Traf-
fic headquarters in Salt Lake City to
General Manager H. e. Dunn, of the
Payette Valley Railroad confirmed the
rate on smudge oil that has previous
ly been announced. The rate as now
given out is fifty cents per hundred
pounds to all points in southern Ida
no on the Oregon Short Line Rail
road This brings the cost of smudgeI
oil to the growers in Payette Valley
at five and quarter cents per gal
lon in Payette. This price is said by |
a number of growers to be much |
cheaper than coal and it is quite
generally conceded that the oil pot
is more convenient as well as more
effective in its wrok. 1t is probable
hat those growers who are prepar
ng to smudge will use oil and the
,il heater. Several demonstrations
lave been made of late with different
makes of orchard heaters but many
If the growers have not as yet deci-
led as to just what brand of heater
hey will use. But quite a number of
hem have decided to at once inves-
igate the different makes of pots
With a view of getting ready to test
heir efficiency in saving the crop +
n Payette Valley should we expert I
nee late spring frosts again next
ear, !
Word comes from Colorado that
he Florence, Colorado oil company
as raised the price of oil to thef f
rowers of the Grand Valley from
wo to four cents per gallon and this h
djusts the price of smudge oil to
ne Colorado growers as to make the
rice at the rate quoted to our grow n
RS just as cheap. 4

Mothers Who Worry Are Often
Inclined to Excite Dis
orders.
BY VIRGINIA T. VAN DE WATER.

KM ANY @ young mother Is deprived
1VE of the keen delight she might
take in her new baby by a con-
slant dread that the little one will be
Ill. 1t is well to take It for granted that
the average normal baby'is healthy and
is not waiting for q chance to Shuttle
off this mortal COLI before he has had
a chance to give it a fair trail. Some
children have been worried into ervous
disorders by overfussy attendants, says
the writer in the Circle Magazine.
l know one unfortunate infant who
was awakened at regular intervals day
n night to take nourishment whether
he wanted 1t or not. 1.-THE books say a
baby of this age should be fed every
three hours" explained the devoted
mamma as she shook the rosy sleeper
from his slumber at 10 D. ms He had
his last bottle at I, you know. Oh. poor
little chap! How sleepy he Isl"
When baby does not nurse, or is fever
ish, or cries necessarily, or shows any
symptoms that you know mean genuine
discomfort for which you cannot ac-
count. send for your physician. Every
mother should have a clinical thermom-
eter. When there is q temperature
above normal it is time to seek profess
sional advice; but do not be Harmed at
a temperature in baby that would mean
genuine illness in yourself, for with in
fants the mercury runs up quickly with
little digestive disturbance, or when the

Care Of Babies Based on Common Sense
Is More Effective Than Use of Drugs

There are triflng ailments that the
mother may treat herself. One of these
is "snuffies." or a slight cold In the
head, causing an obstruction OF one or
both of the nostrils so that the breath
ing produces a low, whistling sound.
Before lying baby in his bed at night
rub the bridge of the nose well with
warn vaseline or camphor ice, massag-
ing 1t in thoroughly, then put a tiny bit
of vaseline up each nostril. This soft
ems the secretions and often relieves the
trouble entirely.
One of the most distressing Of the
minor troubles of infancy is collie. Do
not dose the child with soothing syrups,
collie drops or any other patent medi-
cines. Many of these contain small
quantities of opium and may cause
positive injury to the patient. Try ex-
ternal applications first of all. Put a
hot water bottle against the abdomen
and stomach. taking care hat it Is not
too hot and that the weight does not
rest on the tender diaphragm. Rub the
little feet. and. If they are cool, wrap
them in warm flannel or. hold them
toward the heater or open fire, chatting
them gently with the hand to improve
circulation. Lay the child on his face
and rub or pat the back. If the gas
is In the stomach this will often enable
the sufferer to bring 1t up, and relief
will be almost instantaneous. Some
times a few s%poonfuls of water given
as hot as It can be borne will produce
the same result.
When baby has any intestinal dis
tention n obstinate pain a safe
remedy to give before the doctor ar
rives is a t~easpoonful of pure castor
oil. 1t can do no harm, and often does
good,
