selves to be free from disease or
imbecility. Judge Koelsch s bill
makes it necessary to have ply
sicians certificate showing that
the applicant has been examined
within thirty days of the time of
marriage Another clause changes
the age limit. AT present a boy
Is years can secure a license with
out his parents consent. This will
be changed to 81, as it is in most
states. Young persons under the
age limit will be permitted to
marry when their parents consent
but this consent must be approved
by the probate judge.
The proposed abolition of the
common law marriage is consid-
cred especially good feature of the
bill, as Idaho is one the few
states where common law marfiag
is recognized by statute, although
it is legal in most of them. The
common law marriage has result
ed in many legal tangles, espec-
tally regarding distribution of es-
tates.-Statesman.

DIFFICULT FOR CUPID
Must Publish Names of Those who
Wish to Marry, Two Weeks
in the Paper.

Cupid, who or years has been
implicated in Opponents and Sc
cret marriages, as well as the
other and less romantic culmina
tons of love affairs, public we'd
dings will have to put away the
former and deal in only the lat
ter backed by the Idaho Mothers
circle passed at this session the
legislature. Not only does the
proposed law do away with hasty
marriages but Is days must elapse
after the license is applied for
before it can be secured-and it
provides that during the Is days
the names of the persons DESTROYS
of being mated must be published
an the papers at least twice.
The proposed law has been
drawn up by Koelsch, member
of the legislature, and will be pre-
sented early in the session. In
November, after reading a news
paper article which said that the
Mothers Club was in favor of a
law regulating marriages, Judge
Koelsch wrote a letter to Mrs. E.
d. Nichols, state president of the
Mothers, circle, in which he declal
ed himself heartily in favor of
such move. Upon receipt of his
letter the club requested him to
draw up such bill and present
it. This the judge agreed to do.
The new law is divided into
four principal parts, all tending
to make marriage more difficult
than at present. By this it is
hoped the divorce evil may be
minimized. No common law wed
dings will be permitted, as al
marriages must be solemnized and
a license secured. Under the pres
ent law contract or common law
marriages are legal. The SECOND
clause provides that Is days must
elapse between the time of appli
cation and granting of license
and the application be published
in the newspapers. This aims tt
prevent hasty marriages ano
Opponents.
The third clause in the bill il
the most radical of all and is tn
only one to which opposition /
expected. This is the physica
examination idea, recently sugges
ed all over the country, but whic
has not yet been adopted, excep
in Washington. In that state al

COAL TAR DRUGS ARE
 WORSE THAN COCAINE
Kansas City Druggists Tells of Menace to People and Asks Pharmacists to Safe
 guard Sale.

Fertile Springs, Mo-, June 12-De- claring that mail order houses and interruptions druggists bought drugs, such as asperine, Venol, tri- mol. antipyrene and other coal tar preparations by the hundred pounds and had it made into tablets and powders which they sold indis- criminately 10 everyone who wished to buy, Albert N. Doerschuck. presi- dent of the Kansas City Retail Druggists Association, pleaded with the Missouri druggists, in session here yesterday, to place their ban of disapprOval on the lax methods of sales of these habit-making preparations.
 He said these drugs were becom- ing more of a menace to the life and health of the people than were ever morphine and cocaine, the sale of which have been prohibited by law. Thousands of men and women, he declared, daily are talk ing these drugs, ignorant of their insidious and deadly effects. They are sold now over the counters in drug stores and sent through the mails by mail order houses, 100 tab lets in bottle, and people who do not know their poisonous nature take them daily to brace them for their work or as an antidOte when fatigued by work or pleasure.

WILL BEAUTIFY ODD FELLOWS CEMETERY.
Funds Assured 10 Carry Work For ward on Substantial Basis Ask Help for the
 start.

Odd Fellows cemetery, one of Menas burial places, is going to be cleaned up, parked, beautitied and given constant care and attention.
 After some years of comparative neglect of this home of the dead, it will Joe a source of great satis- faction to those who have laid to rest in that place the remains of loved ones, as well as to all the people of the city, that at last this work is to be taken up and carried on
 One of those who started the campaign for this improvement is J. T. Spring, and in recent days he has carried on the work of solicit ing funds for the purpose, these funds to be in the form of monthly payments. Up to this time MT. Spring states that he has gone far enough that he feels certain suf- ficient money can be had to make a good start at cleaning up, the grounds, and when that is done en- ploy a regular attendant by the year, whose duty it shall be to see that the cemetery is kept as befits such a place.
 It is the plan that each contrib utor shall be a member of an asso- citation to be formed, which shall elect officers and have entire charge of the improvement and mainten- ance of the burial grounds.

CURRENCY REFORM
 LAW THIS SESSION
President Wilson Will Bend Every Effort to Accomplish It-Main Features Have Already
 Been Drafted.

Washington, June l5.-President Wilson still wants currency legisla- tion enacted at the present session of Congress, and will bend every effort to accomplish it. The doubt raised and utterances of senators close to the administration that they were opposed to currency re- form during the present session was cleared when it became known that the president planned to write his currency message about June B or 2l.
 It was also announced today that Secretary McAdoo and Chairmen Owen and Glass of the Senate and House banking and currency com mittees respectively had reached an agreement on the main features of the currency bill they have been drafting for two months.
 The president, it is understood, however, will not go into detail in his message, preferring to back the Owen-Glass bill as an expression ot his ideas. His argument will he along the lines of his letter recently to Senator Tillman, in which he declared that lin loyalty to oui country" currency legislation was necessary during the present ses- sion of Congress, "so that any at tempt to create artificial disturb ances after the tariff shall have be- come a law be offset by free sys- tenn of credit which will make il possible for men, big and little, tc take care of themselves in business

DIR. DAVIS LOSES HEAVILY.
Ranch Damaged by ClOudburst That Destroyed Much Property

Tom Powell recently received a letter from Dr. J. R. Davis, now at his ranch near ColfaX, N. M. He states that there has been a terrible cloudburst about eight miles up in the mountains, which did untold damage. To use his own words: The river, which was a mile wide, came up to my very door, and has done me 5000 damage. All the railroad tracks and bridges near the river are gone. Some of my neigh
