say that every branch of the depart
ment of state government in my charge
is conducted along modern business
lines. If the people of Idaho believe
this is true and see fit to renominate
and re-elect me, l need hardly say
that l shall be much gratified and
shall use my best endeavors to sea thai
such endorsement in not misplaced.

Law Of Compensation

Headache in it's relation to the eyes,
acts as the flagman who stands near
the track and signls the train to stop
when it is running into danger. Head
ache cries out to the brain and says
Allow me to inform you thatthe eyes
are being strained, send on more nerve
force" The brain gives orders that
help be rendered, at the expense of
the other organs of the body to sus-
tain your straining eyes. A wise per-
son will discover the cause and re-
move it by having their eyes properly
fitted with glasses, which is the or
permanent relief possible. The unwise
person will take headache tablets, NOR
phine or choral which will almost al
ways suppress the pain signal, leav-
ing the cause to commit its ravages
upon the body unmolested. This is
about as rational as it would be to
knock the flagman off the track, as
he stands signalling to the engineer
of the danger ahead. The law Of COM
pensation is very exacting upon the
persons who strain their eyes contin-
ually by close work, such as studying,
reading, writing, sewing, etc. Be as
sured so long as you continue this with
out the assistance Of glasses, you will
pay the debt by weakened stomach
or some other organ of the body. Ma
ture never gives but what she takes
no more and no less. If you would
like to have your eyes so they don't
strain seq

No additional cases of smallpox vera
