FEW SIMPLE HEALTH PRE-
CAUTIONS.

The fall season is generally marked
of typhoid fever. This is particularly
true of the rural districts where there
are no special laws or regulations
protecting the water supply for the
community. The germs of typhoid
fever are not particularly more prevail
ent during these months but the op-
portunities for transmitting them
from individual to individual seem to
be greater. When the fall rains be-
gin there is greater chance for the in
fictitious agent, namely the typhoid
germ, to be washed from the waste de-
positories through the assures in the
soil to the water supply. Also dur
ing the cool weather of early fall flies
strenuously seek shelter and the house,
| if unprotected, will be literally swarm
ed with them each night. During the
daytime. they are visiting various
places where they may obtain their
food, and many times become contain
mated with various kinds of disease
producing bacteria At night they
come back into the house and infect
the food substances prepared for the
family use.
The water supply, being easily con-
taminated by underground currents
coming through soil impregnated with
waste material, cannot be too closely
guarded at this season of the year.
Because the water looks clear, and is
cold and sparkling, there is no assur-
ance that it does not contain agents of
a deadly nature. Enough germs of
typhoid fever could be present to
cause grave trouble and yet, without
having a technical analysis made of it,
a person could not detect them. The
only safe way is to be assured that
the water does not catch any surface
or underground drainage where there
could be any question of contamina-
ton. If it is impossible to be assured
on these grounds, a simple process of
publication can be used in the home.
Practically all of the disease produc-
ing bacteria including typhoid, are
killed at a moderately low degree of
temperature. A boiling temperature
will destroy them almost momentarily
and there is no excuse for water to
become dangerous SO long as the
housewife has in her hands such a
simple and effective means of protec-
ton. The boiling of the water may
slightly change it's palatability but if it
is allowed to cool in two-thirds full
bottles and the bottles are shaken Wig
orously it will regain it's flavor AT
any rate the safety of the health should
take precedence over any small item
like lack of palatability
Recognizing therefore, that typhoid |
may be more prevalent during this
season of the year, each individual
ought to pay particular attention to
the exclusion of flies in the home and |
the protection of the water supply for
family use.

A massmeeting was he'd recently
| the object of which was to knock the
stills from under the h gh price. II
was proved by the speakers that de-
mand regulates price, and that it was
| the sense of the meeting that all effort
should be directed toward lessening
the demand. To accomplish this the
| following was recommended
Lawyers and law students should
subsist on statutory provisions
The day workman on the fruits of
his labor.
Ministers and theological students
on the bread of life.
The man who had failed, who had
lost out, whose goose was cooked,
should eat it.
The diver should enjoy a repast at
any time he chose to take a duck
under.
The baker should not hunger as long
as he had a bun on.
The runner should subsist on his
calves.
The teamster should devour the
cracker off his whip.
The sluggard should be content to
take his roll in bed.
The carpet cleaner should indulge
to safety in his own beats.
The compositor should be glad to
feed on pi.
The quarryman, from the nature of
his work, should have ample oppor-
tunity to dynamite at any time
The dairyman, as an innovation,
should try the milk of human kind
ness.
The butcher should be content with
himself, since he will not deny that
he is game.
But it was found impossible to rec
ommend any change for the poor, pitt
able pun-maker. He will continue to
hustle for dear life, with the open
season very, very short.
The meeting then adjourned, and
those who were in trade hurried home
to add one-half more to the price of
everything they had to sell.-Ex.

A GOOD FAIR.

If those persons who live in the cas-
and who are considering moving west
ward could only be in Moscow this
week to attend the Latah County Fair
this county would double it's popula-
ton within the next twelve months
The fair is starting out as great
success. The exhibits from all parts
of the county afford delightful sur
prise to even old-time residents.
Not only are the exhibits varied
but for size, looks, and quality, they
cannot be beat If one had the OPP
portunity to take his pick of the prod
ucts shown and take the selection
made to large fair, first prize would
surely go to Latah county, Idaho.
Deary and Kendrick have shown
their progressiveness by sending dis
trict displays. They will find that the
favorable advertising which they will
receive from this will be big thing
in their favor in the future. 1t will
mean that next year more districts of
the county will avail themselves of
the chance to share in the glory.

and blame and it is a part of the
executive branch of the government
The manner in which the govern
ment has delayed its prosecutions,
its civil suits, repeatedly asking for
continuances when the parties were
ready for trial and the courts ready
| for trial makes it necessary to call
| attention to such facts that the
courts may not stand condemned
for things of which they are not
guilty but which they earnestly
sought to avoid
Although the government has been
paying eXorbitant fees to special
prosecutors whose sole business was
to attend to half a dozen cases and
who had a retinue of well-paid as
sistants, yet they have delayed and
are delaying proceedings, have piled up
outrageous bills of cost and have in
jured parties not so much by the
suits as by the interminable delays
for in the end the parties have very
generally been acquitted. Moreover,
there have been instances in this part
of the country where the courts have
been considered as proceeding with
undue haste because they have in
sisted that trials proceed and bust
ness be disposed of after some tW o
or three continuances had already
been had The department of JUS
tice should not seek to unload its de-
lays or thrust the mistakes of incom-
petent special prosecutors upon the
courts. We do not know of a single
instances in these parts where the
decisively when not embarrassed and
delayed by those having charge of |
the cases for The s,ove rnment
The people ought to understand |
that vast amount of criticism which |
is being placed upon the courts is be-
ing placed there by the sheer incom-
potency of those who have charge off
important litigation in the courts. We
venture to state that scarcely single
instance can be found where matters
have been delayed by reason of the
court itself. AS to expense, the man.
ner in which special agents and
pile up expenses is COM
ing close to scandal. These mat
.ers cannot be controlled by the
courts. 1t is not the business of the
courts to control them. 1t is the
business of legislative and executive
departments to control them.

PRAISES FRUIT
CROP OUTLOOK

| Boise, Sept. 27-That the fruit croL
in the north central and northern
counties of the state is of better quail
| ity this year than ever, that the total
yield is considerably in excess of that
of last season and that the growers
and packers, as a result, are enjoying
an unusually prosperous season, are
the statements of ]. U. Mcpherson,
state horticultural inspector, who has
returned from weeks inspecting trip.
81 attended the meeting of the
state horticultural board at Lewiston,
after which l went to Grangeville.
Here in company with H. T. Murray,
the district deputy, we made the
rounds of the grocery and fruit
stores and confiscated a quantity of
fruit, which we found badly infected
with worms. We visited number
of orchards in the Grangeville section
and while number of the trees evil
dence lack of care and there ap
pears to be an excellent opportunity
for fruitgrowers who will follow the
most approved methods in planting
and culture, we found the products in
most instances to be in good condi-
ton.
From Lewiston I went to Moscow
and Occur d'Alene. At the former
place 1 found that the yields Of both
apples and pears were excellent and
marketing of these kinds of fruit was
still in progress. A great quantity of
pears were packed at Moscow. At
Occur d'Alene the yield of apples
was immense and the shippers and
packers are well along with the sea-
sons work. An unusually large
amount of fruit has been packed at
Lewiston and the shipments, too,
from that city have been enormuos.
1.-The peach crop in the lewiston
Charleston valley this year was an ex-
ceptionally large one. But the finest
fruit l saw on the entire trip was
the grapes at Lewiston. Robert
a Lewiston fruitgrower
who makes a speciality of grape Gull
ture, has some of the finest | have
ever seen. He says that he will re-
ceive about five tons of grapes from
each acre of his vineyards and | saw
4 number of punches of grapes |
which measured IA inches in length. |
Several of the best of these will be |
brought to the IntermOuntain fair
with the Nez Perez county exhibit.
1.-THE fruit throughout all the north
ern country is of good quality and
am glad to say that the district
deputies in every section are assisted
by the people in their efforts to pre-
serve this standard"

THE DAILY STAR-MIRROR.

! The Daily Star-Mirror was sched-
uled to make its initial appearance
on the afternoon of the first day of
. the Latah County Fair, Wednesday
! September 9th, but owing to delay
in the arrangements with the United
HPress Association for the daily press
epOrts, we were compelled to wait I'M
Ill this afternoon, and even now are
unable to produce the latest press re-
kQorts. This condition will probably
tinue for few days only, because
arrangements for the reports have
been completed and the same
start at any time. In the mean
the Daily Star-Mirror will make
\pearace every afternoon.
4heN production of the Daily Star
Mirror is the result of demand in
Moscow for daily newspaper, and the
promoters-the proprietors of the
Star-Mirror-have resolved to supply
that demand, which all will admit
Is a modern necessity in all enter

We have launched the daily without
any guarantees or promises of any
support whatever from the business
men of Moscow, believing that these
business men will recognize the i'm
portance to the city of such an en-
terprise and will do their share in
helping to make it a success by liberal
patronage Of the Dailys advertising
columns.
The uncertainty under which the
management has been laboring rela

hem from sending out an advertising
blicitor which accounts for the lack
u advertising in this issue. This de-
feet will be remedied in the issue of |
tomorrow afternoon. All advertisers |
will be given an opportunity to show
their appreciation of this enterprise,
and we believe the response well be
generous enough to warrant the step
we have taken.
The policy of the Daily Star-Mirror,
politically and otherwise, will be the
same as that of the weekly under the
same management, and that is suf

OUR COURTS-NO. 1.

- Boise Statesman: The president
deals with a most important question
In a telling way In his discussion OF
the courts. Every one who thinks
seriously upon the subject realizes
that without upright, honorable, in
dependent judges, without able and
efficient courts, our laws, wise and
humane though they be, are made in
vain. Most men realize also that few
men have been or are better fitted to
deal with the subject than the presi-
dent-a great lawyer, once a most sue
cessful judge and judicial in every
mot unload upon the courts all the
PINS and shortcomings of the govern
gent. The courts are powerless to
l'ike back, the lips of the judges are
baled in popular discussions. 1t is
reasy to assail the courts and seek to
fAsten upon them the mistakes of both
branches of the government.
One of the things which is break
ing down courts and burdening them
with a superhuman task is the null
titude of i'll considered and ambig-
uOus laws passed by the legislators
and by congress. If the pepole ex-
acted only a small portion of that
wisdom which they demand of the
courts from the law-making and ex-
ecutive branches of the government,
II that precision and consideration of
laws in their passage could be had
which we demand in their construc
ton and application there would be
far less complaint.
The particular subjects to which |
the president gave his attention were |
delay and expenses. Wherein does
The fault rest with reference to these
particular charges. Is it the courts
Iault, the judges's fault? Some times
t is-far more often it is the fault
If the system of practice establish
I'd by the law-making body or the
Ill but shameless tactics and mex
,usable delays OF the executive
branch OF the government.

ask yourself this question: Where
would you prefer to buy property? In

you will be asked a great deal more
for property abutting on paved streets.
Although higher priced, the buyer al
ways prefers the property in paved dis
tricts.

State Senator j. J. Day is quoted as

Now why do you suppose Mr.. Day

the business districts, but residence

| Talk all you please about being q
booster and good citizen of a town
but if you are not doing what you
can to advance every home industry
you are not doing what you ought to-
and are not a good citizen-not as
good as you might be. For instance,
when you buy pail of lard or a pound
of bacon how many of you take the
trouble to ask for homemade goods
How many tell the merchant to send
bacon or ham or lard made in Mos
COW? And yet local butchers and
pakers are turning out better prod
uct than any Of the big outside pack
ing houses. Moscow bacon is superior,
and costs, We believe, a little less.
Suppose it cost little more. The fact
that it is made in Moscow, which
means that it is made by home in
here, and spends it's wages here, ought
to prompt every citizen to make pref
erence in favor of home goods. What
is true as regards hams and bacon is
true of every other product, whether it
be flour or printing or labor. When
ever possible patronize home in
dustry. When YOU need labor employ
local men, and when Moscow citizens
erect buildings i've preference to men
