 Weak Men-.-Free
Send Name and Address T0day-You Can Have It Free and Be Strong
 and Vigorous.

1 have i'll my possession a preScrip- tion for nervous debility, lack of wig or weakened manhood, failing mem- ory and lame back, brought on by eXcesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any addi- tional help or medicipe-that l think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility quickly and quietly should have copy. So l have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from a phy- s,lian who has made a special study of men and l am convinced that it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure eyer put together.
 l think 1 owe it to my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated ia l. ures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH- ING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quiet and qu ckly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. F. Robinson, 1926 Luck building, Detroit, Mich, and I will send you copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge s3 to $5 for merely writing out a prescription like this-Ibut I send it entirely free.

STORY OF THE
 MERRY WIDOW

The story of Henry w. Savage's , The Merry Widow which will shortly play at the Elks theater in this city, is too well known to re- quire extended mention. A Prince of land that resembles Anthony Hopes, Altruria, falls in love with q girl of the people; he is sent away in consequence to a distant embas- sy-the Marsovian embassy in Paris to be exact-the little peasant girl married rich old man who died and left her fortune of $20,000,000 She becomes merry widow, goes to Par is, enters into the butterfly life of
 the gay capitol; eventually meets her old lover, the Prince, and after many entanglements, he declares his love and they presumably marry.
 The central figure is the widow, of course, but in all the action which
 is continuous and consistent, the presence of the man who adores her, iitl lCthiSSS, lopihy loy dl lpNtI, IS ever wanted, ever in pleasing evi dence. The Sonia this season will be Miss Gertrude Bryan, Hungar ian who is said to have the temper ament to properly impersonate this unique creature Mir George Dam- erel still continues as the Prince Danilo, the gay, flashing and reck- less lover. Others well known in the cast are Mabel Arzella, Marie Jordan, Bessie Abbott, Arthur Woo ley, Harry Burgess and Wm. V. Strung. The seductive waltz, and the beautiful, haunting melody of the "vilia,' song, together with Silly" Cavaliaer," Love in My Heart,' ''Maxim,' and the satirical sextette, "Women,' will bet played by the big orchestra. MT. Alfred Moulton will conduct.

THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG.

Debating societies may not have succeeded in clearly establishing which was first, the chicken or the egg, but we believe the cold storage plants have recently had ample evil. dence that at the beginning the hen was certainly not out of the running The attempt made to corner eggs by the cold storage route has proven disr asEous to those who drought that the hens in the country had followed trust methods and would co-operate in limiting the output but somehow
 things "didn't seem to went the way Mir. Meanto meant and as result the price of eggs has drop ped somewhere near what 1t ought to be. and some speculators haxe dropped some cash. and tho only F

ARE POULTRY
 RAISERS PROSPEROUS

Every one knows what "a vast sum of money the annual wheat crop of the United States is worth. The value Of our hay crop is also enormous and these two crops are among the five or six which stand at the top in
 money value year after year. Now bear this in mind, together with the statement that the value of our 1909 wheat crop exceeded all previous re- cords and that only once was the hay crop of greater worth, and un
 less the figures have been seen, l doubt whether one person in a thou 'sand can give correctly the relative standing of the values of the wheat crop, the hay crop and of the poui- try and eggs produced on farms in 1909.
 The figures of the Department of Agriculture show that the value of poultry and eggs in 1909 exceeded by $25.000.0O0 the value of our wheat crop, and was $S5 5,OO0,00O ahead Of the hay crop.
 Too little credit in the past has been given by manufacturers and merchants alike to "Biddy and her brood of chicks" They would be
 panic1stricken by the tpthl failure of the wheat crop, with a value Of
 $75O,O00,OO0. as iV wtas last year. What would be their feelings if Bid- dy and all her sisters would go on a strike for one full year? If the loss of the wheat crop would be so fearful, what of the loss of products worth $25,000,000 more? You never thought of it in that way, did you?
 Facts are stubborn things and the trade of class of people having the spending of such large sums of money is not to be passed idly by. There is another chapter to this story that Is worth noting The fig lures given by the Agricultural De- partment do not take into considera-: ltion any poultry rsiser who m leas

]. 9. Hammer recently sold a
line span of colts to Spokane men.
They were three years, eight
months old and weighed 1916 and
1880 pounds. and both appeared
to have had extreme good care
Mr.. Hammer says there is large
proft in good colts if they have a
warm, clean barn at night, with
good bedding and good care when
young. He says too many neglect
their colts, and in that way fill the
country with undesirable, stunted
horses. There are many men, he
said, that do not stable their
stock, only half feed them. and
give them no water, whatever.

THE Y EAT NO BREAD.
Places Where the Poorer People Has

Places Whore the Poorer People HasI
to Use Substitutes.
There are regions wherein the poor
er classes or peasantry eat little or no
bread. Baked loaves of bread are
practically unknown in many parts of
southern Austria and Italy and
throughout the agricultural districts of
ROumania.
1t Is said that in the village Of the
Oberstefermark, not far from Vienna,
bread Is never seen, the staple food
being sterz, kind Of porridge made
from ground beech nuts, taken at
breakfast with fresh or curdled milk,
at dinner with broth or fried lard and
with milk again for supper. This dish
Is also known as heiden and takes the
place Of bread not only in the Aus
trian district named, but in Carinthia
and IN many parts Of the Tyrol
In northern Italy the peasants affect
a substitute for bread called polenta.
porrldge made of boiled grain. Pc
lenta is not, however, allowed to
"granulate." like Scotch porridge or
like the Austrian sterz. but is boiled
into solid pudding, which is cut nm
and portioned out with a string. II is
eaten cold as often as II is hot and is
In every sense the Italians daily
bread.
A variation Of polenta called mama
liga is said to be the favorite food Of
the poorer classes In Roumania Ma
maliga is like polenta in that it Is
made Of boiled grain. but II is unlike
the latter In one important respect
the grains are not allowed TO settle
INTO solid mass, but are kept dis

THE fact that the legislature
was in session four days beyond
he sixty day limit might lead
some people to think that the
solons had more work than they
could dispose Of and that they
ought to be paid more and be
given more time. But many I'M
doubtedly know that had the
members Of the legislature at
tended strictly to business from
the start and put in a reasona-
bic amount OF time each work
Ing day OF the session they could
have finished in much less than
the allotted sixty days, instead
OF being obliged to crowd the
most important work into four
days after the time the legisla-
ture should have adjourned, and
then being threatened with an
extra session because OF their
reckless haste. However, it
must be admitted that the
Idaho legislature is not the only
law making body that spends
its time injudiciously.
