Paper Issued by James H. Wallis
on the Danger Of Flies.

James II. Wallis, State Pure Food
Inspector of Boise says:
Don't allow flies in your house
Don't permit them near your food,
especially milk.
Don't buy foodstuffs where flies are
tolerated.
Don't eat where flies have access to
the food.
Flies are the most dangerous insects
known to man.
Flies are the flthiest OF all vermin.
They are born in filth, live on filth, and
carry filth around with thenm. They
are maggots before they are flies.
Flies are known to be carriers of mil
lions OF death dealing disease germs.
They leave some of these germs where
ever they alight.
Flies may infect the food you eat.
They come to your kitchen or your din
ing table fresh from the privy vault,
from the garbage box, from the manure
pile, from the cuspidor, from decaying
animal or vegetable matter, or from the
contagious sick room with this sort Of
| filth on their feet and in their bodies
and they deposit it all on your food, /,
and YOU DO swallow filth from privy
vaults, etc; etc, il you eat food that has
come in contact with flies.
Screen the baby's bed and keep flies
way from the baby's bottle, the baby's
food and the baby's Comforter"
Keep flies away from the sick, espe-
cially those i'll with typhoid fever, scar
let fever, diphtheria and tuberculosis.
Screen the patients bed. Kill every fly
that enters the sick room. Immediate
ly disinfect and dispose OF all dis
charges.
Catch the flies as they appear. Use
liquid poisons, sticky fly paper and
traps.
Place either OF these fly poisons in
shallow dishes throughout the house !:
a)-Two teaspoonfuls of formaldehyde
to pint OF water. or (p) one dram of
bichromate of potash dissolved in two
ounces of water, sweetened with plenty
of sugar.
To quickly clear rooms of flies; burn
pyrethrum powder or powdered black
flag into the air OF the room with pow
der blower. This causes flies to fall to
the floor in stunned condition. They
must then be gathered up and de-
stroyed.
Sprinkle chloride Of lime or kerosene
over contents of privy vaults and gar
bage boxes. Keep garbage receptacles
tightly covered, clean the cans every
hday, the boxes every week. Keer
the ground around garbage boxes
clean.
Sprinkle chloride Of lime over manure
piles, old paper, old straw and other re
fuse of like nature. Keep manure il
screened pit or vault if possible. Ma
nure should be removed at least every
week.
Pour Kerosene into the drains. Keel
sewerage system in good order. Repair
all leaks Immediately.
Clean cuspidors every day. Keep
per cent solution of carbolic acid in then
all the time, Get rid Of sawdust boxe
used as cuspidors-destroy them--they
are unsanitary.
Don't allow dirt to accumulate in cor
] ners, behind doors, back of radiators
under stoves, etc.
Allow no decaying matter OF any sor
to accumulate on or near your prem

Power Of the Press

Newspapers have made presidents
and bustles, happiness and suicide, mar
rage and alimony. They have bolster
ed empires and rag carpets. They have
fed curiosity and goats. They have
(w)rapped the good and the bad,
the workman's lunch and the drunk
ards beer. They have used men
for footballs and by men have been used
for the same purpose. They have pol
ished readers and windows. They have
Cleaned chimneys, started fires and
Stntfed sofa pillows. They have cut
ice" and been cut into pantry shelf
covers. They have caused pain and
calked panes. They have built empires
and skinned umpires. They have made
friends and ridiculed enemies. They
have sunk fortunes and made men
famous, married widows and curtained
windows. They have been born in a
shirt-tail full of type and a hay-press,
lived and fourished on hot-air and
thank-yous. Sometimes I wonder at
their constitution. They have starved
and thrived, tasted and smiled, parched
and doomed, dried up and borne fruit
but this paper hasn't the recipe and if
some of the back subscribers don't pay
pretty soon, the editor is going to rise
up on his hind legs and roar! We need
kind words and money, pair of over
alls and new typewriter ribbon. If
you are out of kind words, typewriter
ribbons and overalls, come on with the

Had II Bad

The following letter written by one
OF Elko's young men to his bunch of
sweetness was picked up on the street
the other day:
Dearest, my love for you is stronger
than coffee or the kick of O COW. When
think of you, my heart fops up and
down like my mothers churn dasher
and visions of doubt creep over my
soul until 1 feel like an old cheese
board made full of holes by shippers.
Sensations of exquisite joy go through
me like young goats over stable roof.
L feel as though I could lift myself
with my boot straps to the height of a
church steeple. AS gosling swimmeth
i'll a mud puddle, so do swim in a sea
of delightfulness when you are near me.
My heart oscillates like shaker in a
tanning mill, and my eyes stand open
like cellar doors in country town.
If my love is not reciprocated I will
pine away like a poisoned bed bug, and
you will catch cold over my grave"

Character Moids the Face,

1t is not in words explicable with
what divine lines and lights the exer.
else of godliness' and charity will mold
and gild the hardest and coolest coun-
tenance, neither to what darkness
their departure will consign the love.
Hest. For there is not any virtue the
exercise Of which, even momentarily,
will not impress d new fairness upon
the features; neither on them only,
but on the whole body the moral and
intellectual faculties have operation,
for all the movements and gestures,
however slight, are different in their
modes according to the mind that gov
ems them-and on the gentleness and
decision Of right feeling follows grace
Of actions, and, through continuance of
this, grace of form.--Jcbh Ruskin.

Can MS "a nu.i

If the following dispatch to the Reno
Gazette be true. the friends of the anti
gamling bills hould be on the aler5 and
q close watch should be kept upon all
doubtful members of the legislature.
The money of gamblers nor of any 9TH
or class of men should be permitted to
defeat the will of the people. If suffi-
cient evidence of bribery can be obtain
ed, the briber and the legislator that
sells himself should be made to wear
convict stripes:
Despite the statements of the: gamb-
lers to the contrary, it is known that a
fund has been raised and that every
effort will be made to spend it so as to
insure the defeat of the anti-gambling
bill. Your correspondent is in posi-
tidn to state that he knows at least one
man who has been approached, and there
is reason to believe teat several others
who haveH been on the doubtful list
are being counted upon by gamblers as
being amenable' to Influence I
IL The fact that the bill is practically
sure, of passage in the assembly has
made. the gamblers redouble their
efforts, and although they have all
along said that they would spend no
money to defeat the bill, it is now
known that they are preparing to make
a last desperate stand. =
The work of the men with the sack
will not be confined to the assembly,
for several of the senators are also upon
the list of men; who are to be ZAP
preached"
What the result of this work will be
is not yet known, but it will only serve
to intensity the light that will beat
upon the legislators, and some of the
men who vote against the bill may have
several difficult question propounded
to them.

some facts about the stature of we'll
known English authors. In one Of its
articles 1t says: "Of past giants in
literature in two senses of the term, we
have Thackeray, who was six feet
three inches in height. Coming to the
present time, we have Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, who is six feet two
inches high, but doesn't look it On &C

there is Cutcliffe Hyne, who is six feet
three inches in height, while Hesketh

Irrigation in Infancy.

In speaking Of the future develop.
ment Of irrigation farming in Idah,
the state engineer says:
II might appear from curse ry ex-
animation of the present situation
relative to irrigated lands that the
field had been practically developed.
This. however, is not the case in Ida
no. In fact, it may truthfulIy be
said that irrigation here is in its in
fancy. This for two reasons: %
Hundreds of thousands of acres are
now unirrigated which will eventu-
ally receive water, and ~ with the
improvements in methods, both in
the matter Of conserving water an d
in more scientific handling of the
soil. the producing power of each
individual acre will be greatly in
creased.
Intensive farming is rapidly be-
coming the slogan of practical irri-
gators, and to the effective carrying
out of this idea must be brought all
the experience and scientific re-
search of those who make a special
study of the problems demanding
solution. Now. as never before. the
experience and training of the spe-
c SITS in these lines are demanded
AS regards the question of irriga-
ton law. it should be born in mind
that the legislature from session to
session have been compelled to adopt
a cut and try" policy. This for the
reason that conditions have constant
w beer met for which no precedent
could be found. Little by little,
however. the laws covering the con-
troll and use Of water have been bet
tered. until today Idaho possesses
what, IN many respects. may be con-
sidered model code of water laws.
Probably what is needed most now
IS legislation which viii bring about
as rapidly as possible thorough adj
jgdicstion Of water rights on all the
streams and sources OF supply. This
vii De large undertaking, but
such : course / demanded By the
need Of a full and final determine
cion Of al rights 70 the use Of water
