JOHN :. DAVIDSON FOR sHERlrf

In the commencement Of the cam
paign this year, this paper was in
clined to support w. r. Jones. Of shsl
ley, Idaho, for the nomination for sher.
III on the Republican ticket. Mr..
Jones' record asa sheriff ir.the years
before we were i resident Of this
county, was q clean, satisfactory one.
and on the ground, that he was q
satisfactory officer, the Optimist was
not adverse to assisting him In his
second candidacy for the office, but
Mr.. Jones has shown little interest in
the campaign. spending his time at his
ranch on the Blackfoot and at mines
somewhere in Idaho, in which he has
an interest, and it is generally under
stood that his numerous business in
terests are such that he has no par
ticular desire to- secure the nomination
On the other hand there is a man, VIII
has served Bingham county faithfully
in the capacity Of sheriff, who when
his term expired could look everyone
in the face and say that he had done
all within his power to uphold the law
of the state.
This man during the past sin month";
has had sorrow which time cannot
blot out, and in the coming of that
sorrow has been placed to an expense
which puts him in a position that
would make the salary acceptable. Cou
ping his record as an officer with the
fact that the financial compensation
would be appreciated we consider
that a vote cast in the primaries FOL
John T. Danilson for sheriff would b.
cast where it would do untold good
and insure to the Republican party
the nomination Of good man, on
who is capable Of filling the office ere

James H. Wallis,
State Dairy, Food and Sanitary
Inspector. Ar "a
Boise, Idaho, June 8. 1912.
This pure food law prohibiting out
side displays of fruits and vegetables
has been In active operation for some
months. and has received Its trial at
the hands Of the grocers, generally. It
'r1ay be safely said that the plan meets
with the approval Of a great majority
Of the grocers Of the state. Some
thought the elimination Of the outside
display would seriously cut down the
fruit and green vegetable business,
but it has not done So when the new
law went into effect" says one grocer
II put in fountain in my store, and
on the shelves under the spray, keep
my vegetables always moist, cool
and fresh. My berries and fruits are
always cool and fresh in the shade OF
my store, and believe that the change
has been a good thing. Instead OF
looking at lot of wilted and sun
struck fruits and vegetables out on
the sidewalk, where the dust is blow.
ing and the flies roosting, the Gus
toners come inside and see the same
things cool, fresh and inviting. While
the expense of making the fountain
/ display is little more, the business il
growing and everybody is better sat
isfied."
It may be that in few instances
the law has hurt business, but thes'
cases are rare, and will usually b.
found to be due to the fact that thu
grocer has not taken pains to make
tempting display Of vegetables inside
Some grocers have devoted sectiol
of the front window to the vegetable
display, and keep the window wet
dripping and cool with spray. Such
display gets even more attention thai
an outside display.
From a purely business standpoint
the change has been good one, an
from sanitary standpoint there is n
doubt of its desirability.

She relates her experience during the
past summer which were rather Try
ing. She wanted to be honest with
the public; she wanted to be an oDidd-
ent servant Of law; and yet circumr
stances we're such that she came pref
ty near developing into . cynic during j
those summer months. She is a Tine
baker. She takes special pains with
the bread and cakes she bakes, a.
ways using proper materials and tan
ing a wholesome pride in the superior
quality Of all she prepares for the mar
ket. 'r's'4.
She says that another baker whoses
stand was close to hers did not trou-
BILE herself to cover her products. "An0
many times during the summer she :
declared, people went right by my
cakes because they were covered ana
made their purchase from my neighbor
whose stand and everything upon It,
was fairly black with flies. They see
my goods covered up and pass on to
my neighbor who has no scruples OF
conscience against selling fly-tainted
goods. It is true that few folks DO
notice the difference and do buy from
me, but they are few and far between.
Now what am to do? Shall con-
tinue to obey the state law, or shall
initiate my neighbor and let the flies
have full access to my goods? l can
not afford to bake bread and cake ana
take them to market for the sake OF
showing them off; and yet don't like
to give the flies the freedom OF the
goods" This incident simply shows
the necessity of continued vigorous ef-
fort to educate the people concerning
the dire peril that the common house
fly carries on Its wings and legs. It IL
amazing that in this age OF the world
and after SO much has been said
and written, the majority OF the at
tendants at any city market DELHI
erately prefer to purchase fly-infected
goods when clean and wholesome ar
ticle is right at their hand.

MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

As one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir.
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthener and body-buiIder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting tis-
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifes the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander HamiI-
ton, over eighty years of age. once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, 1 have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.
