Anty Drudge Agrees with Nellie.

May-Lets play washday, Nellie, and wash the doly's
clothes. Well use this tin pail for washboier and
I'll go put it on the kitchen stove to heat water"
Nellie-"Oh mol My mama doesn't wash that way She
says it's lots easier'
Amty Drdge-N is right, children. The FesNaptha
way is long sight easier and better way Of washing
than boiling the clothes. It's like play and
saves clothes wonderfully"
The old-fashioned wash-boiler way of
washing clothes is bad enough in Summer
when it can be done out of DOORS
In the Winter, when four walls keep
in all the steam and all the nauseous odors
SO you have to stew in them, washing
clothes that way is drudgery of the most
disagreeabe kind
Are you foolish enough to continue it,
You won't be when you have once
done your washing the Fels-Naptha way
in lukewarm water.
No boiling of clothes. No steam Tur-'
kish bath to redden and blotch your face.
No smells. No back-breaking work.
Washing with Fels-Naptha in luke
warm water is just as pleasant in Winter as
in Summer.
Try it next washday. All that's neces-
sary is to follow simple directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.
Try it for the Aannels, woolens, colored
clothes as we'll as the white things.
Besure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha.

SCIENTISTS WHO DIE FOR KNOWL
EDGE,

II peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war, then Dr. Mihran X.
Kassabian, who died in Philadelphia on
July IL, was a hero perhaps OF even
greater caliber than the heroes OF
many wars. For DR.. Kassabian died OF
skin cancer brought on by X-ray burns
in his marvellous work as one of the
foremost specialists in America.
For years, unknown to many thous-
ands of sufferers he was treating, DR..
Kassabian, slowly dying from the ef-
fects of the very rays that were being
directed by him to the cure of others,
went about his daily work.
Last year it was found that the skin
cancer induced by the rays had spread
I'D the left arm and had caused the en-
largement of the glands under his arm.
These glands were removed by an OPP
Grafton by DR.. Chalmers Da Costa, pro-
lessor of surgery in the Jefferson Medl-
cal college in Philadelphia. The
wounds did not heal and second OPP
Grafton, consisting of the removal OF
he larger muscles on the left side OF
the chest, was performed four months
ago. After this operation on the pee
.oral muscles it was found that the
whole left side had been affected and
his condition was pronounced critical
About ten days before his death he
went to the hospital to have his chest
dressed and while there collapsed. He
,ever left the hospital alive.
The fact of the matter is that the
ield of radio-activity has furnished
more than it's quota of martyrs to sci
nee. Professor Curie who with his
wife, Madame Curie, won place in the
listory of science by the discovery OIL
radium was perhaps saved from mar
Yrs lingering death by the street ac'
cident which cut short his life. His
Journey to London with the first tube
Of radium ever exhibited there resulted
in a wound in the chest which tool
months to heal, for the radium emana'
lion passed through his waistcoat and
underclothes and burned his chest t
the bone. His experiments with radiun
scourged his hands and arms which
we're almost paralyzed to the elbows

MANY INQUIRIES
ABOUT DRY LAND
ANXIOUS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF IDAHO LAND.
Boise Land Office Has Not Yet Re-
ceived Official List of Land to BE
Taken Up.

Although Secretary of the Inter
Tor Ballinger on October 1 designal-
ed 5,224,9OO acres of land in south
ern Idaho which may be entered un-
der the enlarged homestead law, the
provisions of which were extended to
Idaho at the last session of congress,
official notification of the designa-
ton has not up to the present time
been received by the officials of the
local land Office. When seen recent
ly Register William Balderston stat
ed that he had been informed
through press dispatches that the
designation had been made by the
secretary and that in all probability
he would receive the listed lands
within a few days.
There is a waiting list of entry
men prepared to take advantage Of
this act of congress just as soon as
the lists, as approved by the secre
tary of the interior, are made a mat.
ter of record in Idaho. EntrymeT
under the law are entitled to file OF
800 acres of land. The geological
surveys and examinations as provid
ed under the act have been made l.
Idaho for the list certified to by Tho
secretary of the interior. The lands
selected are those not susceptible Of
successful irrigation at a reasonable
cost from any known source of wa
ter supply.
The rules and instructions fol
making the entries under this Law
are also expected at the land off1c,
in the immediate future. Senate
Borah has wired the secretary of tn,
interior to forward copies just a
soon as possible.
Entrymen in this state consider
that the great advantage of the Law
is the provision to live within a dis
lance of 20 miles of the land ht
files on providing that he PERSONAL,
superintends the improvements upor
the land, installation of crops, etc
This will make it possible for many
who live in towns and cities O
southern Idaho to acquire title t,
800 acres of dry land.
1t is believed by agricultural ex
perts that the new law will bring /;
large area of southern Idaho under
cultivation through dry farming ant
will do a great deal towards boost
ing dry farming in all sections, re
sulting in numerous and probably
very profitable experiments in tn,
dry farming of tracts now considered
to be unfit for cultivation, owing Il
lack of water supply.
