|RISKED HIS LIFE
To SAVE KITTEN
Feline Had Fallen Into {
Dry Well

A little kitten was rescued from a
sixty-foot we'll Saturday morning by
Charles Weingaard, q machtnist ut
Patrick White and Sons shops. The
kitten belonged at the home OF
James Howley at the corner Of JEFF
feson street and Willocks lane.
The little feline had fallen down
the well, which happened to be dry,
and all the efforts OF a number OF
girls were Of no avail In getting the
animal out. Many devices were
tried. A basket containing food was
lowered into the dark hole, but tha
kitten did not understand and re-
fused to enter It. Many a nan and
boy passed by and heard the pitiful
mewing of the little animal, but
proffered no assistance in going
down after the pet.
Finally Charles Weingaard came
along and the cries of the kitten
melted his heart. Being used to
daring enterprises, he offered to en-
ter the we'll. After many polite pro-
tests by the girls he was allowed to
follow his own designs. Going over
to the machine shops nearby he pro-
cured a small cable and easily de-
scended. The kitten was placed In
the basket which she had hitherto
refused to enter and pulled to the
top of the we'll.
After saving the kitten Mr.. Vein
gard found 1t harder to save him
self. When he started to climb up
the rope it would come loose from
the top and he spent nearly an hour
getting out of the hole into which
he had descended in a few seconds.

pleasing
portraits

Right in pose, expression, lighting,
tone andN finish are characteristic or
the work done by Miss Bonham. The
display of sepias and the large heads
so popular this season in both aduit
and child pictures-is exceptionally
fine. Miss Bonham's adult picture
work-of both women and men-has
been phenomenally successful this
season, rivaling her wonderful child
portraits, in which she is the &C
knowledged leader. And her prices
are most reasonable for the quality OF
work. Come in and get acquainted,

Not only do we more quickly feel tired, we are tired. Our powers flag. our bodily temperature rises. A fe- external temperature and humidity, our bodily temperaturt rises. A fe- veTish condition results; pathological or abnormal poisons are generated within us in addition to the normal fa- tigue poisons created during the pro cess of work When the individual is endeavoring to labor in an atmosphere at high temperature and a high hu- rnidity,' said Professor F. $. Lee re- gently in a memorable address, ''he has to contend not only with his normal fatigue substance, but with the path ologicaI substances that result from the peculiar conditions of his labor. * Normal and pathological aftigue sub stances are here present in solution in an overheated body. If they are toxic at normal degrees of tempera- fure their toxicity is more pronounced at higher degrees, and in proportion as, nechanical work is performed and in terna1 temperature rises, the more is working power lessened-''
 I emphasize the writer's last words, for the realization that these things lessen working power-the heat and humidity, the excess pressure, the high treadles-is a step towards their sup pression. The first fruits Of the Mill

it from getting into dire straits Ru- nor was that the company was on the verge of closing it's doors It is ap- parent that the interest in congress sional and banking circles in the de- tails of the merger are daily growing and that a congressional inquiry prob ably will be the result. In fact, Sen ator La Toilette already has intimated to some of his friends that he may introduce a resolution of inquiry in the near future. All iAssa1l, the situa- tion that has sdeveloped1as result of the merger is one of thes bitterest that has existed in Washington banking circles in many years. It is apparent that the treasury department is keen ly desirous that there should be no congressional inquiry. The situation has led to strong personal statements passing between the secretary of the treasury and Washington bankers rep resenting large New York inteGestA. which MT. McAdoo has maintained were antagonistic to him and the Will son administration.

Washington, Dec. 9-Of1cia1 circles here are greatly interested in the dis closures regarding the merger of the United States Trust company with the Munsey Trust company. Frank A. Munsey, New York magazine owner, has come personally to Washington to take charge of his interests in the storm that has been raised over the action of John Skelton Williams, as sistant secretary of the treasury, in advancing $1,O0O, 900 for deposit with the Munsey Trust company as a means of assisting in the merger when MT. Williams own brother was .one of the directors of the Munsey concern. MT. Munsey broke his silence when he issued a statement bitterly attacking the New York Tribune for it's asser- tions in reference to the treasury de- partment and himself. It is charged that Secretary Williams acted i'm
 properly in advancing the govern ment's money to the institution. Mir

to the mechine, and show at each tread when the required pressure has been exerted.
 But the essential thing is that a new scrutiny of waste has been made-and with the simplest appliances of sci ence, scale, foot rule and thermometer Other valuable suggest tions are brought up in the report such as the possibility of alternating inter changing occupations. The hardest work in the Milwaukee 1aundries was found to be in no way differentiated from the easiest. Pay and hours were found practically the same at the ex- acting gas heated foot treadle ma chimes, and at unneated power driven machines in another department, re- quiring no muscular effort whatever.
 In bringing out these facts dispas- sionately, the Milwaukee report is of more than local or passing account It strikes a deeper chord. For work that is unnecessary, work thot is wholly un directed, work that exhausts is waste from which the mind instinct1y recoils and for which it demands a remedy.

CHRISTMAS FURNISHINGS

Rules and Recommendation of the Wisconsin State Industrial Commis- sion. These are drawn up in confer ence with, and with the full approval of the Milwaukee laundrymen serving on the subcommittee appointed to rec ommend feasible standards of safety and sanitation. The requirement., among others, of heat def1ectors, lined with non-conductible material, and of exhaust fans is to remedy the atmos- pheric conditions of work. The rec ommendation of a platform on all one way single treadIe body-ironerS is to avoid the necessity or stepping upward onto the tread1e. The recommendation as to minimum foot pressure reads as follows:
 t@The proprietors and foremen of iaundries should do everything in their power to educate operators of cuff, neckband and yoke presses to use the minimum amount of root pressure nec- essary to do proper work. It has been found from careful experiments made by competent 1aundrymen that 75 pounds is the maximum amount of pressure necessary to do perfect work on any of the aboVe-ment toned ma chimes. Additional pressure is. there fore, not only a. waste of the opera tors energy, but a needless wear on the machinery
 Doubtless. in the future, the instal1a- tion of machines operated by com pressed air, now on the market, will replace the foot treadle machines. Rut, at present. the cost Of installation ap- pears to be still prohibitive- Proper repairs and the abandonment of the most heavy running machinery are also recommended m the report It would not appear impossible to go further than the Wisconsin commits sion has done, and devise a gauge which might be permanently attached

HOTEL FOR GUYtR SPRINGS
Erection of $4,000 Inn Planned This
Winter.

Raymond Guyer of HALEY was Wis
itor in this city last week in the inter-
est of his new hotel proposition at the
popular Guyer Hot Springs near ket-
chem. The Springs have attracted an
increasing number of people from this
city every year and the fact that a
new hotel is promised for next year
will please all and increase the trade
of that resort. Mr.. Buyer stated to the
Times that the foundation for the hotel
of twenty rooms was already in, also
for the new bathhouse and the power
plant. Work on the superstructure of
the hotel will be carried on this win
ter. The hotel will contain besides
the twenty rooms fitted modernly, a
big dining room, lounging room and
lobby, billiard and card room and
many other things which will tend to
make for the comfort of the guests
The old time kerosene lamps will be
replaced with electric lights from a
power plant generating enough power
to supply all the demands of the new
Institution. Mr.. Guyer assured the
Times that he was going to improve
the culinery department so that IL
would compare with any city hotel
While in Twin Falls Mr. Guyer secured
an agent to sell some of the hotel
bonds which will draw seven per cent
interest and be a first mortgage
against the property. He hopes tc
place at least two thousand dollars
in this city in small amounts to those
who are interested in securing a good
hotel there

IDAHO IS hONORfD
Commissioner j. II. Wallis Inspects
Market Places Of Washington.
Especial Correspondence


Washington, d. c., Nov. 25.--Idaho
was distinctively honored at the con-
ference held here this week between
the federal and state food and drug
officials, by the unanimous choice of
Commissioner James H. Wallis of Ida
no, to preside over its important de-
liberations This conference was the
most valuable in the interests of pur-
er food products than all the rest to-
gether. 1t was held behind closed
doors, as in this way the interests
were kept out, giving the food off
Gals more freedom in acting. After
the conference, Commissioner Wallis
was invited to meet the public service
commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia, with a view of getting his
ideas on improved sanitary conditions
in the public markets, restaurants and
other public places. He then met the
executive committee of the National
Civic Federation in New York, and
went over at the Washington confer
ence. Idaho is pointed to in the east
as the one state in the Union where
the enforcement of the pure food laws
is no joke. The Washington Times
this evening at the conclusion of a
long article on the subject says:
Commissioner Frederick l.. Sid
dons is now determined to make
desirable change in the work for purer
foods, as will enable stricter health
and sanitary regulations to be made
regarding the handling of meat
Commissioner Siddons said that he
had made tour last week of the mar
kets of the city in company with Com
missioner James Fl. Wallis, who has
the double distinction of being the
dairy and food commissioner and the
state sealer of weights and measures
of Idaho. Mr.. Wallis, said Commits
sioner Siddons, suggested several
changes in methods used in handling
and selling food in Washington, and
many of these would be inaugurated."
