Every saloon in Boise where the bar

The above order was issued by Conn-
Gilman 4. +. Woodcock to whom COM
plants We're made that a number of
saloons here We're violating the city or
dinance compelling clear view from
the street of the interior of the saloon
Mr.. Woodcock personally made trip
of inspection over the city yesterday
and found three saloons which were not
fully complying with the ordinance.
The saloons were the Bank, the Idanha
buffet and the Overland While the
distractions We're not bad they did not
give q clear view as required and the
proprietors announced that they would
have the partitions and other abstruc-
tons removed at once.
Section Of ordinance No. ST. passed
by the council Nov. ., 1909. is the one
under which the order was given. The
section reads as follows:

Syrup of Figs gives to a torpid liver

Il If 1t were by the exercise Of
some rare virtue or wisdom
that he had attained that age, he could
not be any prouder than he is
He is not n man who has accom-
plished anything in the world; he is
distinctly narrow and unintelligent and
of very grabbed disposition. The
years have neither mellowed him nor
given him wisdom He Is a stupid pupil
in the school of life, "well birched and
none the wiser" Moreover he IS very
sickly and only prolongs his existence
by the exercise Of all kinds of precau-
tons. And yet he thinks his ninety
years something to be tremendously
proud Of,
What queer FOLDS we mortals are,
What strange things we select to be
proud of, Why, / know young wom-
an of twenty-fiv who is actually proud
of the fact that she is Incapable of
doing the simplest household task. l
know another girl who takes infinite
pride In the fact that she can't bear
to eat Ice cream with a spoon but must
have fork. And then there's a man

C0RDITE AS CHEWING GUM
Many Soldiers Of European Armies

One Of the troubles Of most Euro
pean armies is that those soldiers
who can get hold Of II insist on using
that terrible explosive cordite, as II
1t were a sort Of chewing gum. says
Pearson's Weekly.
Its popularity Is due to the fact that
when chewed in small quantities It
has a stimulating and exhilarating eff.

taste. too, Is sweet, cordite being
three'ffths nitroglycerin, an explosive
which Is sugary to the taste.
When chewed in large quantities
cordite becomes more powerful in its
effects. bringing on a blissful state OF
ecstasy and sometimes making the
victim of the habit see visions But
the real danger of the habit lies in the
fact that though nitroglycerin will ex.
plode only when given very hard
bow or touched by an electric spark,
there is always a possibility that the
grinding of exceptionally hard teeth
might provide the necessary hard
blow. Within the last few years at
least three soldiers-two Germans and
one Austrian have been blown 10
bits. the use of cordite as a chewing
gum being the suspected cause.
