VISIT PACKING PLANT.
Domestic Science Department Getting
Acquainted with Home Industries.

The members of the Domestic Sci
ence Department of the Twentieth
Century Club of Twin Falls made
their last visit of the club year to the
home industries Wednesday. These
visits have been benefit to both the
manufacturers and the housewives.
The manufacturers have felt pleased
that the women are interested in
in what they are doing to improve
conditions along pure food and san
itary lines and they feel encouraged
to push ahead. 1t has been the OBJ
ject of the department to cooperate
with the manufacturers and merch-
ants in making Twin Falls an ideal
city in regard to having their food
manufactured under the best sanitary
conditions possible and to have their
groceries and meat market establish
ments which they could point to with
pride. The women are all broad
minded housewives and are able to
distinguish between mussiness and
filth, knowing that in the midst of
work things cannot be orderly any
more than their kitchens on busy
baking day.
The trips to the industries which

planned. The floors are of cement
and sloping and the water is turned
on frequently during working hours.

John Stolberg Injured in Runaway.

Saturday John Stolberg hitched
up his son Roy's horse to the bug
gy and went to his farm 9 miles
southwest of this city to do some
work. In the evening he started
home and Just as he stepped into
the buggy the horse started. He
spoke to it and pulled on the lines
but the frightened animal plunged
forward throwing Mr.. Stolberg out
and against the buggy wheel so that
he struck on his side. He then fell
between the shafts and was dragged
some distance before he was finally
torn loose. When he fell from the
shafts the buggy wheels passed over
his body. Mrs. ]. o. Jackson, who
lives at the farm, saw him and call
ed for help and Mr.. StolbeHg was
carried to the house. Monday he
was brought to town and examined
by physicians. It is thought that
he had several broken ribs and other
internal injuries. He is doing as
we'll as could be expected at this
time but will probably be laid up
for some time to come. The horse
ran on and tore itself from the
buggy, which was smashed to pieces.

Temperance in All Things.

Authorities in this and foreign
countries have truthfully said many
times that many people eat too much
meat. Physicians and experts in
dietary questions are continually
spreading the word that we would
be a healthier nation if we would
have a greater variety in our eating.
But there is little danger of the
agitation directed against the eat
ing of too much meat swelling to
such an extent that the Strengthening
OF animals will be declared illegal.
No one anticipates the confiscation
of packing houses even if the anti
enormous size.
many of them notable authorities,
are fighting tea and coffee, the ex-
cessive use Of which is exceedingly
detrimental. Others are directing
their agitations against the use OF
tobacco in any form, and already
some states have adopted prohibit
DRY legislation regarding the smok
ing of cigarettes However, the last
report OF the internal revenue de-
partment of the United States shows
that about billion more cigarettes
V. ere smoked in the last year than
d. ing the previous year.
II IS an interesting fact that edu-
cational measures are used in the
fights against excessive meat eating,
tea and coffee drinking, overeating
ard excessive smoking. Except in
the case of tobacco, no one has sug
gested that we prohibit the sale or
consumption of these things. Man
may die from Overeating, from
drinking too much coffee or from
smoking too much, but there is no
legislation enacted against the mod
crate use of these things. Alco-
holic beverages alone come under
prohibition, and it is we'll known
that more people die annually from
excess in eating than from drinking
mild alcoholic beverages. The pro-
hibition OF intoxicants has increased
their consumption, and the day is
not for off when educational means
viii be used to promote temperance
in the use of alcoholics as is now
used for temperance in eating, coffee
drinking and smoking.

Thes Arc Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
paaies, in an Interview on the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why SO many appli-
cants fer insurance are rejected Is be-
cause kidney trouble is so common to
the American people. and the large
majority of, applicants do not even
suspect they have the disease.
He states that judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in d.
rect touch with the public. there Is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving and
curing these diseases than any rem
edy known. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swmap-
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its remarkable record Of
cures.
We find that swamp-Root is strict
" an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need
OF such remedy to give 1t trial.
1t is on sale at all drug stores in bot
ties of two sizes-fifty-cents and one

wonderful merits. send to DR.. Kilmer
