THE FIRST SOAP.
According to PIiny, Il Was In uss

according 20 Piiny, t Was In Zee
Among the GauIs.
Who invented soap? According to
Pliny, soap was an invention Of the
Gauls, who used 1t for giving a bright
hue to the hair. He also states that
It was employed by the Germans
both as a medicinal and as a cleansing
agent, two kinds being used--hard and
soft. There Is reason to believe that
it was introduced into Germany by the
Romans. though on this point there is
some difference of opinion.
Homer tells us In the odyssey that
Nausicaa. daughter Of Alcinous, king
Of the Phaecians. and her attendants
washed clothes by treading upon
them with their feet in pits Of water.
SO that apparently she and her serv-
ants were unacquainted with the use
of soap.
The fact that soap was obtainable
by boiling together oily or fatty sub
stances and alkalis was known Mt an
early period of history. but it must
be borne In mind that the substance
referred to In the Old Testament and
translated "soap' Jeremiah Ii. ~.
For though thou wash thee with

thee much SOAP" and Malachi Nv. 2.
For he is like refiner's fire and
like fuller's soap') refer to the alkali
itself and not to the substances pre-
pared from oily bodies and these aka
line matters.
The French word for soap (savon)
Is supposed to have been derived
from the fact of its having been manu-
featured at Savona. near Genoa.
The manufacture Of soap began In
London in 1924. before which time 1t
was supplied by Bristol at penny
per pound. A duty was imposed on
soap In I'LL, but after several reduc-
lions was totally repealed In 1885,

What are these needs of modern
hospitals which necessitate so much
more space than was ever thought of
in the days of the primitive barrack
type of wards, some of them erected
even within the past decade, and how
have such needs arisen? Briefly, they
may be said to include all that is done
for the patient apart from the giving
Of food and medicines, and they have
arisen from the extraordinary prog
ress Of medical science, particularly
in the fields of bacteriology, serum.
therapy and pathology, and in the
adaptation for medical use of the re-
cent discoveries In the electrical and
mechanical sciences. Moreover, the
hospital has become a center for In.
vestigation, research and education to
an extent never imagined before-The
Century.

HOW TO DOCTOR THE TREES
',mP,e Directions for Treating
Cavities Which Are
stu Small.

Many Of the so-oalled traa dootora
wen as the people who employ
.nem' nave become so elated over the
Iuea OF tree surgery that they find
some cause for. treating almost every
ana any tree, regardless of its neces.
SlIles or the results of such treatment
or whether 1t is worth while IN snarJ
ei'ner time or money upon them.
WORD OF caution Is therefore not
Out OF place. II you feel that vour
trees need attention, look into the
matter OF tree doctoring, SO that Won
may Know something about It, and then
call upon a responsible man with a
good reputation to do your work.
When the tree has been neglected
ana cavities have formed In the trunk
Oh the Tree, something should be done
10 stop the increase Of the opening for,
aller II has become SO large as to en-.
circle the greater portion Of the tree,
or where the entire center has been
destroyed, It Is not worth the time and
money 1t takes to properly treat these
trees. In cases where the tree can
still be treated the cavity should be
scraped and cleaned of all dead wood,
then give the cavity thorough wash
ing or spraying with a solution of COP
per sulphate. This solution, applied
to all parts of the cavity, will kill all
the remaining rot spores. Now the
cavity is ready to be filled with a CO.
ment mixture, using one part of &C.
ment to three parts of clean, sharp
sand. This is packed into the cavity,
hlling 1t to one inch of the finished
surface, and then apply covering of
one part cement to one part sand.
This is put on so as to bring the
hlllng to a smooth surface, making it
conform to the contour of the tree
trunk. A coat of coal tar may be ap-
piled to discolor the cement and aid
in making the filling water-tight.

1t is thought that work will COM
mence on the building within the
next sixty days.
The commission spent two DAYS
In visiting the various sitos proposed
for the institution, all within twenty
miles of Boise. BY Saturday the
selection narrowed down to two-the
Nampa site and one offered by Mer-
idian. The latter consisted of 60
acres offered the state for $4,000
and Meridian offered to pay $4,000
of the cost.
The place selected is within one
and three-fourths miles of the city
limits of Nampa; it is within one
third of mile of the Boise VALLEY
railroad line; it is within two miles
of a large tract of state land. It
contains 80 acres, secured by the
citizens of Nampa.
On the 80 acres secured for the
institution the state has to nav for
but 40. Nampa makes a gift of the
othcr40. In addition to this the
price on the 40 purchased by the
state was reduced from $40 to
$l25 an acre, so that Idaho gets this
site of 80 acres, for $4,000.

FREAK LEGISLATION.

Suggestions in the line of freak leg
islation are usually considered as pc
ouliar to western and to far western
states. Evidently this is a mistake,
judging by the record which is being
made in the Massachusetts legislature
at the present time.
A bill has been introduced, for ex-
ample, requiring that women's bathing
gowns shall extend to not less than six
inches below the kneecap. Another
prescribes that no woman shall be per-
mitted to wear a decollete gown-with-
out at least having shoulder straps on
It. The idea Of this latter measure is
90 avoid creating that embarrassment
approaching the point of absolute
suffering-which the modest man feels
In the presence of gown without
these useful appendages--when he has
constantly before him the fear that the
gown might possibly slip further down
las apparently it is unsupported in
hAly way
Somewhat 10 offset this onslaught on
the sacred privilege OF womankind to
regulate their dress according to their
own ideas of the fitness of things
another legislator has offered a bill in
the lower house imposing a tax of SIS
a year on all bachelors over IS years
of age. The fund thus raised is to be
used for the benefit of "spinsters who
are believed to have passed the mar
riageable age"
But for one thing this measure
ought to be received with popular ap-
prevail in state Understanding to
the latest census-there are at present
100000 more women than men. Where
can be found the spinster who would
agree--even for pecuniary considera-
tion-to admit that she has passed the
marriageabIe age?

EGG is HONEST.

Eggs are Of universal consumption.
The round of daily existence seems
impossible without them. Cooking in
practically all its phases is dependent
upon them. An eggless breakfast is
vanity and vexation of spirit.
The universally of the egg is shown
by the fact that it's price serves to
register the fluctuations in the cost of
living When eggs are scarce, living
is high. When eggs are plentiful, liv
ing becomes easier
The permanent and universal de-
mand for eggs tempts the Spectator
to do what he can to corner them. It
is a frequent attempt and has resulted
in cold storage combines--and the evils
that grow out of them.
But the saving feature of the situa-
tion is that the egg can not be manip-
ulated thus to serve the greed of man
and be made to remain silent
about it.
Mistreat an egg and the egg is sure
to tell It, It reveals not only it's age
-but also a complete history of it's
environment and associates.
A Memphis warehouse concern has
been sued for $4,000, because. as Is
alleged. It stared large quantity Of
eggs Entrusted TO It near some fruit
ana the eggs became SO impregnated
