City Heated by Natural Hot Water

which is usually employed by the
average family, furnishes water suf-
11cient to command the general price
of $135 a year, increase being made
when the pipe is enlarged.
The cost of supplying house for
all purposes with the natural hot wa
ter is somewhat heavier than with
the ordinary furnace system, but
there are advantages. There are no
furnaces in the homes using the nat
ural hot water, the danger of fire Is
greatly reduced, and there is none of
the dirt and inconvenience connected
with the handling of coal and wood
for fire purposes.
The natatorium of Boise, located
but few hundred yards from the
wells. and which is supplied with the
.2atural hot water, is recognized as
one of the best bathing resorts in
the west, and the medicinal proper
ties of the water are famous.
During the hot summer the hot wa
ter is employed by the city for sprink-
ling the streets, as it is found to
have better effect in laying the dust
than the ordinary water taken from
the city supply.
Two of the original wells played
out last year and two more were sunk.
which now furnish as good supply
as the first wells.
In the old days there were many
tales told of the springs by the In
dians. They believed the water had
unusual healing power and the Ban
nocks and Snakes were wont to travel
far for the privilege OF bathing in it.
So curative were the waters con-
sidered that they were carried by
them back to their camps, where
they were rubbed on the limbs of in,
valids to heal rheumatic and kindred
complaints.
Travellers across the plains in the
early days found the water sufficient.

The Brotherhood Home of Cleveland

1 can give him bed, stake him to a

Fred" did want to live better and
went to work with will. In a week
they rented another room, and went
again to the director with the request
for the parole Of two other members
of the workhouse night school class.
They promised to give them food and
lodging, and to get them work. The
four in turn put by something each
day for grub stakes" for other un-
fortunates and presently the club had
a membership of nine.
Soon after that the Brotherhood. as
1t had come to be known, moved to q
ten-room house on the lake front. The
parole officer went in debt for 5000
worth of furniture. At the end of the
year the club showed an earning
which nearly took it out of debt. Ten
rooms were added, followed by ten
more little later. It was self-sup-
porting, and had paid for $4,000 worth
of furniture. The later history of the
organization is record of continued
efficient work, with finances fairly
easy when work is plenty, and pain.

LEVELAND, O.-An institution
~ which is doing great good in
Cleveland, Ohio, is the Brotherhood
Home, developed from the idea Of one
mat. an ex-prisoner who wanted to
help someone else.
In November, 1905, James Shaw
was paroled from the Cleveland house
of correction. While there he had
been teacher in the night school,
and had become interested in the
Bible class. He was man Of more
intelligence than the average work
house prisoner and soon after his re-
lease on parole obtained employment
with a shipbuilding company. When
he drew his first wages he went to
the director of charities and correc-
tons with the proposal that he take
in another prisoner who was about
to be paroled.
II think Fred wants to behave and
live decently," he told the director.

Poor pussy! AS If the immemorial

birds whenever she gets the chance

diphtheria. DR.. G. J. Awburn Of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in a SUBJ
urb of that city to pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found, after
much clever Investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn

watch them carefully, and, If they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
Rugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
Their recommends that II the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant.

- In the country heated by natural
hot water, taken from springs near

alone for heating purposes, but for

One hundred and ten homes In
Boise are supplied with the water,
which is employed for all household
