fore congress adjourns, so that Carey
act development in the state shall
not be retarded.
Acting Commissioner Proudfit's
letter is as follows:
Mr.. NJ. l. Church. Register State
Land Department, Boise, Idaho
Sir: am in receipt of a copy of
the third annual report OF the state
land department of the state of
Idaho, under date of November 1,
1909. Said report shows, among
other things. that lands have been
segregated to the state under the
Carey act, or appropriations are now
pending in the general land Office,
for 2,272,246.6S acres of land. You
are advised that lists for ap-
proximately 100000 acres have
been received at this Office and

This leaves some 472,OOO acres,

the local Office and have not as yet
been transmitted to this office. Your
report states further that PROPOSE

If Iuplter Were Inhabited.

Celebrations as to the size required for human beings on the other planets vary widely. according to the basis of reckoning According to those based upon the attraction of gravity. Jupiter should be peopled by pygmies of twen- weight inches Wolfius. on the other hand, argued that Goliath himself would be accounted decidedly under sized upon that planet. He worked from the feebleness of the suns light there, which would demand that the pupil of the eye should be much more dilatable Since the pupil stands in a constant proportion to the pail of the eye and that to the entire body, said Wolfus, little calculation shows that an average Jovian must be nearly thir- teen feet seven inches tall-not quite four inches shorter than Og. king of Bashan, according to the measure of his bedstead given in Deuteronomy

Rocks and Cholera.

The present day security of this country against all danger of chol- era epidemic Is matter for thankful ness not only in human circles, but in the rookeries too. When the cholera slew nearly 6G,O00 people in the insan- itary United Kingdom of 1831-2 the rocks appear to have suffered with them. This was stated. at any rate, to have occurred on the estate of the Marquis of Sligo, which boasted one of the largest rookeries in the west of Ireland. On-the first or second day of the epidemic's appearance an observer noted that all the rocks had vanished During the three weeks through which it ragged there was no sign of them about their home. but the revenue po- | lice found immense numbers of them dead on the shore. ten miles away. When the epidemic abated the rocks returned, but some were too weak to reach their nests, and fve-sixths of them had gone.-London Chronicle.

Suicide by swallowing gold is some times accomplished in China. The following K an authoritative account, written by a very learned Chinese for the Westminster Gazette, of how this much contested form of suicide is ac- complished:
 "In swallowing gold 1t Is not loose gold leaf or gold dust that is swal- lowed. but q solid lump of gold. or even gold ring. weighing about half an ounce Gold Is not at any time of d corrupting nature. but when 2 hump of it is swallowed and gets into the bowel h fails, on account of its intrinsic weight. to rise and surmOunt the convolutions of the bowels and can therefore never complete its pas sage. After two or three days it there fore sinks through the bowel and de stroys life without any suffering"

@Eectricmeg Does
 Cure Disease

ns applied by the twentieth century method of curing disease by oxygen No drugs or polsons to put into the Z body. The most sensible natural, ra- tional and scientific method known.
 We can cure any disease that Is eura- bla. We make some almost mirAcu- Bons cures, and for short time only vIll include the "GuArantee.
 It win rsyOlutioDlze the old methods
 of the practitioner, on account of the
 simplicity Of the treatment, as 1t Is de-
 ssuaed for home treatment, and the
 public are ready for anything that
 wiIl relieve suffering and pain. For:
 instance, we will take one item for fe-
 vers. Your physician tells you 1t will
 not do to break up fever until it had
 run twenty-one days. We olaim you
 can break 1t up In twenty to forty-hye;
 minutes by the New Process. Wei
 will take, for example, suppose you
 were suddenly taken sick, put on a;
 once the Electri ure for thirty minutes
 then take bath ont of the Oxygenated Water, go to bed, and you will have
 the sweetest sleep of your life andl get;
 up in the morning feeling as fine as
 you ever did in your life and ready for
 business.
 To understand the action of the Flee
 tricure we must first know what dis
 ease Is. DISEASE is nothing more
 OR LESS THAN THE RETENTION
 and accumulation OF WASTE MAT
 TER IN THE SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN E LIMI- MATED BY ONE OR ALL OF THE FOUR AVENUES of EXCRETI0N THE LUNGS, THE SKIN, THE KIDNEYS and THE INTESTlNES. THE DIFFERENT "DISEASES' WITHOUT Number, AND THEIR VARIOUS SYMPTOMS, CAN ALL BE TRACED TO ONE CAUSE, :, THEREFORE THERE IS BUT ONE DIsEASE-THE RETENTION and ACCUMULATION OF WASTE MA TERIAL IN THE BODY, and BUT ONE CURE-THE ELIMINATION OF THE POISON FROM SYSTEM, BY COMBUSTION AND EXCRE 2 TON.
 When you have an Electrieure in the house you have better physician 2 than you can find in the State, ready Z at 6 moments notice and equal to any emergency. It purifies the blood, and pure blood and disease cannot exist in 2 the same body. What a saving it would be to anyone to get an ''Electri- cure" (it would last life time); then there would be no doctors or drug bills, and 1t would not have any more loss of time from being laid up from sickness, and pain and disease would be 8 thing of the past. We claim if the body Is kept free from disease any person should reach the advanced age of 100 and still he wig orous and strong, ment lily as we'll as physically, If thev use the ''Electri- cure" as in every instance they con 2 trol disease, and all such would renew their youth from fifteen 10 thirty years.

WHY SALVES FAIL
 TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre- scription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend it to our patrons,
