Norway,s sieks. Insurance Law.


 Norway has sick insurance law which embraces all wage earners and public servants over fifteen years of age whose yearly earnings do not ex- ceed $322 if in the rural districts or $375 in the cities. The law also pro vides that the employer shall pay a certain percentage tone-sixth) of the premium, while he is held responsible for the whole, but may deduct from the wages of the insured at the end of the term for which the premium is paid the amount thus advanced. The oreHca1ly it is self insurance Son the contributiye plan, while actually 1t amounts to an extra tax upon the em- ployer, as most employees stipulate when engaging their services that the insurance premium shall be paid in addition to the wages.

The ZodiacaI Liaht.

There is a strange light in the heav- ems appearing after sunset in the late winter and in spring and before sun rise in the autumn, but few persons in
 our attitudes have ever seen it. In the equatorial regions, however, and in certain parts of the tropics the zo- diacal light appears with great spendor, and some remarkable views of it were obtained by a French expedition to the interior of the Sahara, undertaken for the purpose of studying the effects of

At The Isis Sunday Night

Perhaps no other state west of the
Rocky Mountains has made such pro-
gress along the line of temperance
reform as has been made In Idaho.
Under the leadership of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, local option law was
secured in 1909. Under this law, twer-
ty-six county local options elections
have been held. Nineteen voted dry,
while only seven voted wet" Count
ing the last election held, In the vari'
GUS counties that have voted, the dFys
cast 41,7O3 votes while the vets cast
20, 6O4, giving the drys a majority Of
1909. Latah county is dry by the
order of the county commissioners.
The estimated dry majority Of Latah
county is about 5000, which gives the
drys a majority of about 1909 IN
actual votes.
The temperance forces Of Idaho are
now passing through what is perhaps
one of the most important and most
critical periods in the history OF the
temperance movement OF the state
The opposing forces are struggling
more savagely than ever. They are
resorting to new and desperate meth

SUMMING UP BY STATE
Peters, Attorney for Giovannetti, Call:
States Contention 0utrageous--Dis-
trict Attorney Dwelt Chiefly on
Caruso's Connection with Case.

Salem, Mass, Nov. 23.-More delay
in ending the trial of Ettor, Giovannitti
and Caruso for the Lopizzo murder
seemed certain at adjournment last
night with District Attorney Atwell's
closing argment not completed.
Judge Quinn probably will not charge
the jury until Monday. The district at
torney in his argument dwelt chiefly on
Caruso's connection with the case and
attacked his abb. He reviewed the tes-
timony of the commemorative witness
es, who said Caruso participated in the
riot.
Attorney w. Scott Peters resumed his
final argument for Giovannitti when
court opened this morning. He attacked
the testimony Of the Bencardon brothers
and Louis Lacourt, detectives, that Glow
annitti in speech told the strikers TO
"prowl around like animals looking for
blood" and " to knock heads when it
was dark
"Giovannitti might as well have in
yited Officer Flynn and police to hear
him speak argued the attorney. as it
probable that he spoke to crowd Of 4,
900 or 5000 in broad daylight and urged
violence? II he had said these things

PAST FIFTYr YOU
NEED "CASCARETS"
What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes, Cas-
carets Are to Weak Bowels--A 10
Cent Box Will Truly
Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the bow
els some regular help, else they suffer
from constipation. The condition is per-
fectly natural II is just as natural as
il is for old people to walk slowly. For
age is never so active as youth. The
muscles are less elastic. And the bow
els are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid TO weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels of
the old need is gentle and natural
tonic One that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such tonic is
Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents
per box at any drug store. They work
while you sleep.-Advt.
