SELECT CULLINGS
Electricity Passes Food.

One of the interesting devices in the
wonderful electric house of Mr. George
Knapp in Paris. France. is the means
by which dishes are made to appear on
the table. The chef prepares each dish
in it's proper order and has it ready
and waiting on a tray. When the host
and his guests are seated at the table
the former touches a button and the
electrically operated tray arrives
through trapdoor in the top of the
table. When closed this trap looks like
two ordinary silver covers on the Ia
BILE. BY pressing another button the
tray with its dish is carried around
the central portion of the table. AS
the dish arrives in front Of each guest
the host touches third button, which
stops 1t while the guest is helping him
self. The dish passes all around the
table in this way. and then on again
pressing the first button it disappears
through the table and returns to the
kitchen. Unpopular Mechanics.

for many years, states A.E. Burch,
expert horticulturist.

had some fine young trees which
were girdled by an enemy or some
one bent on malicious mischief"

"The process is simple. The
man should get some healthy water
sprouts. cut them in length little
longer than the wound in the bark
of the tree. Flatten each end with
sharp knife, then carefully raise
the bark at the upper edge of the
wound and slip a hattened end
under. Insert it deep enough to allow
the other end to slip under the
bark on the lower side of the
wound. The slips should be placed
quite close together in spaces of
two inches or less around the tree.

New Use For Telephones

The widespread and general use Of
the telephone in connection with

cry of kilograms has impressed the
Western Union Telegraph company
with the necessity for more ex-
tended and valuable service to the
public, which is now granted. All
persons who may properly use a
Bell subscribers telephone may
forward kilograms to an open West
ern Union office at all hours of the
day or night, but Immediately upon
the closing of the telegraph office
in community, whether at night
or on Sundays or holidays, an ar
rangement is made by which those
who wish to send kilograms may
secure connection without any de-
lay with distant Western Union
Office to which the kilograms may
be telephoned and no charga will
be made for the use of the telephone
circuit in forwarding such tele-
grams.
The procedure is a very simple
one. A subscriber secures central

he or she has a telegram to send

Boost For Your Home Town

Every man and woman should
be a real live booster for his or her
home town. Why? Because if a
place is good enough to live in and
to make your bread and butter in
and little money besides, itsurely
ought to be worth saying a good
word about to your friends and
visitors from the outside.
Very often we hear n man say
that "the town is dead'-if 80, IL
is the knocker, who, instead OF
putting his shoulder to the wheel
and helping to make good town,
informs visitors that "if he were
a bird he would fly to some more
congenisl place, where there are 800
days of sunshine every year, and
where money grows on trees. But
friendl Is it true? There is no
place any better than our own lit
tie town of Bonners Ferry--let us
tell others so. These same people
do not forget their knocking when
they do move to greener fields, but
they frequently knock until they
knock out, and then move again.
1t ID much easier to smile than to
frown, and then the appearance OF
your face-what difference!
Reader, give this thought a
moments consideration. and if you
act wisely you will be donbly re-
paid.
There are many towns in this
grand old cpuntry of ours, that are
ready for the undertaken, but not
Bonners Ferry, 1t is the knockers
who have kept these towns back
and have driven the retail trade tc
TO the larger cities. When buyer
wants something, do not advise
him to 60 to the county seat or The
larger cities. but tell him he ear
do as we'll, if not better, at home
and perhaps your advice will keel
his money in town and by so doinI
everyone in the town will be bene
flied.
Be the first one to breathe lif
into the old town, and see ho'
quickly others will be taking Ion
ger breaths too. Boost for you

The states of the Northwest are
being urged to appoint commissions
TO plan for their representation at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition,
which will be held in San Francisco
in 1915. By beginning now, it is
contended that things will be in
shape for a tangible start in the
way of appropriations, by the time
the next legislature meets. Cali
fornia was one of the first states
to come TO the front fo- the Alaska

it is pointed out that Washington,

than reciprocate.

dent, among other things, that the Sc
lection of William Barnes, jr., for the
craftsmanship of the New York Repub-
lican committee, was the best that could

Executive that the New York deIega-
ton would support him for renomina-
ton.
Colonel Mike Dady, of Brooklyn, one
of the leaders of the party in that
section OF the State, called with Rep
resentative Calder. Mr.. Dady said that
Barnes was capable OF recapturing the
State; that he was not looked upon with
disfavor by Colonel Roosevelt, and that
on the whole the party could not have
done better than name Mr.. Barnes
Colonel Dady had nothing to say re-
garding the report that he had declared
that Colonel Roosevelt was for Taft.

board bill. which has been agreed on
by the Ways and Means Committee.
The House Committee on Rules will

The Rules Committee is expected to
agree on a rule tomorrow providing for

FATTY HEART KILLS
MAN UNDER ETHER
Coroner's Jury Investigates
Case of Charles P. Beckett,
Hospital Patient.

Death due to fatty degeneration of
the heart and the administering of ether
as an anesthetic," was the verdict
rendered today by coroner's jury over
the body of Charles r. Beckett, thirty
years old, of Falls Church, Va, who
died Monday morning at Georgetown
University Hospital during an opera
ton for hernia.
According to testimony given at the
inquest, Beckett applied at the hospital
Friday, and on Monday DR.. George Tul-
ley Baughm, who was to have perform
ed the operation, ordered the anesthetic
given. The order was carried out, and
death followed.
Joseph r. Brown, senior student, who
administered the anesthetic, under the
direction of Dr. Charles A. Duffy, was
eXonerated by the verdict DR.. Charles
+. White, who performed the autopsy
today, testified that in spite of the ro-
bust appearance of the patient, he had
found the heart and other vital organs
badly diseased. He said 1t would have
been impossible for a physician or sur
geon to have learned this through an
examination prior TO administering an
anesthetic.
