IDAHO SPUDS
RANK HIGH
GEM STATE POTATO GROWERS
RECEIVING SPLENDID PRICE
FOR PRODUCT
II. r. Hays Of Nampa returns From
An Extended Trip Over Southern
Markets and Gives Interesting In
foratiOn Regarding Products.

That Idaho potato growers are OBJ
tanning better prices for their pro-
duce than any others in the country
is the opinion of H. R. Hays of Nam
pa, who has just returned from trip
to Arizona and New Mexico, where
ne says Idaho potatoes are often i'm
ported and then shipped out again
as either Arizona or New Mexico pro-
duce.
What we need to do in this state
is to maintain the quality which we
have and we can do this by individ-
ual inspection. If Idaho's potato mar
ket declines one of the states best
sources of income will be lost, and
many of the settlers who are coming
into the state now are men who have
been lured to this country by the rep
utation which the potatoes of the
state have obtained.
Even the fruit of Idaho is not at
tracing the attention in the south
that the potatoes are, and find hat
this is true in most places also in the
west.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys,
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis of the patients $ urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health Of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem
edy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record of
cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y. Mention this paper and they
will gladly forward it to you absolutely
free, by mail.
Swamp Root is sold by every druggist
in bottles of two sizes-50c and $1.00.

HOW PHAR0AH WAS DROWNED
sslored Mlr'-'er Insisted Egyptians
Broke Through Ice After Children
Of Israel Had Crossed.

There Is a story of an old colored
minister, which l am fond of telling,
that illustrates what l mean. The old
fellow was trying to explain to a Sun
day school class how 1t was and why
1t was that Pharoah and his party
were drowned when they were trying
to cross the Red sea, and how It was
and why 1t was that the Children of
Israel crossed over dry shod. The
old minister explained it in this wise:
when the first party came along it
was early in the morning and the ice
was hard and thick, and the first party
had no trouble crossing over on the
Ice, but when Pharoah and his party
came along 1t was IL o'clock in the
day and the sun was shining hot ON
the ice. and when they got on the ice
1t broke, and they went in and were
drowned"
Now, there happened to be In this
class young colored man who had

Now, Mr.. Minister, do not under
stand that kind of explanation. I have
been going to school and have been
studying all these conditions, and my
geography teaches me that ice does
not freeze within a certain distance
OF the equator"
The old minister replied: Nov,

lN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such time RASPARILLA is the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustltes, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack Of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
Of spring. For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali.
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthy activity. Ita
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding In the
processes of digestion and assimilation Of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond.
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t Is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
