PEACE PLANS
DEATH TO TURKEY
BALKAN AGREEMENT NOW FOL-
LOWED BY POSSIBILITY OF
FURTHER BLOODSHED.
Believed That Bulgaria VIII Attempt
to Open Campaign to Recapture
AdrianOple From Turks.

/ BUCHAREST, Aug. 7.-Representa-
tives of the Balkan states are gather
ed today in a conference to sign the
peace treaty which was practically
forced by Roumania The peace en-
voys are expected to adjourn before
night Immediately on signing the
treaty, Bulgaria is expected to open
campaign to recapture Adrianople
from the Turks.
The delegates from Servia, Greece,
Montenegro, Roumania and Bulgaria
reached their agreement late last
night only after another exhibition of
the utter helplessness of Bulgaria to
face her ring of enemies
Whipped Into Line.
The discussions in the peace con-
ference threatened to become INTERIM
Unable, but M. Majoresco, the Rouman-
ian premier, and president of the con-
ference clinched matters by threaten
ing that unless Bulgaria accepted the
modified frontier proposed by the al
lies, Rokmanias army would occupy
Sofia next Saturday. This threat had
the desired effect and an agreement
was arrived at after numerous private
consultations between the delegates
and a four hours sitting of the con-
ference.
New Frontier.
The new frontier as agreed to starts
at a point on the old frontier west
of the Struma river, follows the
watershed to the west of the town of
thence runs almost through
the Struma valley to the Belesh |
mountains and thence easterly in al
most a straight line to the Mesta |
river, thus leaving the town of Stru- |
mitza, the port of Lagos and Xanthi |
on the railway north of Lagos |
to Bulgaria and the port of Kavala to
Greece.
The new frontier is a deep disap-
oointment to the Bulgarians, who still
nurse hopes for it's eventual revision

May Affect Election.
Alleging that the state of the coun-
try is such that it would be impossible
to hold presidential election October
27, the date previously set, the Cath
olic convention agreed late last night
not to nominate candidate for the
presidency. 1t reserved the right,
however, to reassemble for this pur-
pose in the event that peace is restor-
of elections will become possible.
The debate over the resolution not
to nominate candidate developed an
anti-American speech by a delegate
from the federal district of Mexico,
who charged that the condition of the
country was due to the nonrecogni-
ton of the government by the United
States. The speaker advocated that
the convention take no action which
further would divide the Mexican peo-
pie, who, he said, should present
united front in case of war with the
United States.
Opposed by Leader.
The speech met with the approval of
a large number of the delegates, but
it was opposed by the leader of the
federal district organization, who in
sisted that the attitude of the admins
tration at Washington did not repre-
sent the views of majority of the
American people.
The decision of the Catholics not to |
enter the political fight would appear

Felix Diaz will be unable to return to !

lefined belief here that President
Iuerta himself will become a candi-
late, possibly of an Independent group,

would be likely to get the support of

HIGHWAY BONDS
HARD TO SELL
STATE TREASURER HAS PREPAR-
ED STATEMENT FOR HIGH
WAY COMMISSION.
Tight Money Market ut Present Makes
1t Possible to Sell Only and
per cent Bonds.

BOISE, Aug. 7.-State Treasurer O.
V. Allen is gathering data on the un-
sold bond issue of 100000 for the
state highway commission and when
that body convenes here at the call of
Chairman Theodore Turner He will
place some interesting information in
their hands. He will show them, for
instance, that letters of inquiry ask
ing for bids from bond houses will
show that the bond market, so far as
4 per cent bond is concerned, is not
active for buyers just at the present
time and in face of the money market,
which is dull, are looking for bonds
that carry from to per cent An
answer to one of these inquiries from
the Harris Trust company of Chicago
offered 81 for the bonds or about 13
cents below par, which is not very at
tractive. Other bonding concerns are
just about as enthusiastic over per
cent bonds.

BLEACHED FLOUR
ORDER MODIFIED BY IDAHO PURE
FOOD DEPARTMENT.
Pending Decision of United States
Supreme Court Sale in Idaho
Not Restricted.

The Idaho pure food department
will not interfere in the sale of bleach
ed -four Information has reached the
city that Pure Food Commissioner
James H. Wallis has recinded the or
der prohibiting the sale of bleached
flour in the state and has issued a
bulletin in which he reviews the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals in the
bleached flour case, which he says
justifies recinding his former ruling
to make it harmonize with the at
tude of the federal pure food board
in not interfering with the sale of
bleached -four pending final action by
the United States He therefore rules:
Modifies the Order.
1T appears to us that we are en-
tirely justified in modifying the prev
ious ruling of this department to the
extent that no action will be taken
against the marketing of bleached
flour pending final decision of the
highest tribunal of the land. There
fore it is hereby ordered that all sacks.
barrels or other kinds of packages
which shall contain flour that has
been mechanically or chemical
bleached shall have printed the word
bleached' on the outside of the sack,
barrel or package in gold gothic let
ters not less than one inch in height.
All bleached flour found in the possess
sion of any manufacturer or dealer
after December 1, 1913, without this
will be seized as provided
by Section 1850 of the Revised Codes

WEALTH OF LATAH
READS LIKE FICTION
ASSESSED VALUATION OF COUNTY SHON
INCREASE OF MILLIONS
ASSESSMENT ROLL COMPLETED
County Auditor Prepares Statement For Subdivis-
sion to the State Board of Equalization.

The abstract of the real property
assessment roll of 1913 as it has been
finlly prepared for submission to the
state board of equalization tells such
tale of the increases that have been
made in assessed valuations of all
forms of real property in Latah county
over the assessed valuations of last
year that it reads almost like fiction.
Last years abstract includes all per-
sonal property not held by the owners
of real estate. Yet comparison of
the two rolls shows in favor of the
latter an increase of five and one half
million dollars.

Agricultural Lands.

In agricultural land alone the val
uation has grown from s6,695,330 in
1912 to 9,310907 for the present year,
an increase that is at once surprising
and gratifying. In extent the agri-
cultural land in the county has spre
since last year from 1S8,6S1 acres to
202, ,228 acres-a growth of more than
13 900 acres in grain producing area.
A surprising increase is presented
also in a comparison of the valuation
for the two years of the stock cattle,
beef cattle and dairy cattle herds in
Latah county. This valuation has
grown from less than $l50,000 to STA.
255. This increase is accounted for to
a great extent by the Introduction of
such high grade and thoroughbred
stock, raising the standard OF the
dairy herds particularly all over the
county.

Decrease in Lumber.

Practically the only item on the
rolls for this year that shows a de-
crease. is lumber and saw logs Last
year there appeared on the rolls a
total of S7,864000 feet of lumber in
the county while this year there ap-
pears to be but little over 20 million
feet. In saw logs, too, there is de-
crease there being last year IL mil
lion feet and this year but little more
than million.
The property that is exempt from
taxation this year under new pro
visions made by the Twelfth legisla-
ture almost trebles in valuation the
1911 exemptions, reaching a grand to,
tai of $803 ,839 whereas the valuation
of last years exemptions fell con-
siderabIy below the three hundred
thousand mark.

Argument Against Plan.

The argument that has been heard
among state officials in opposition to
this proposed plan is that the state
can hardly afford to spend its own
money, or loan its own money to pur-
chase its own bonds, placing the bonds
in the general interest and sinking
fund as security If the bonds draw
ing per cent cannot be sold for par
100 cents on the dollar-the argument
is made that the state can hardly
afford to drive so poor business bar
gain as to give its cash for bonds that
must be discounted to be sold. 1t is
further claimed that the bonds, if pur-
chased by the state to replace the
100000 loaned for that purpose, would
not in reality represent 100000 in
cash because they could not actually
be turned for that amount of money.
The entire plan has been passed up to
the attorney general. That official
has not as yet approved or rejected
the plan. 1t is said that he will do
neither.

Mystery Presented.

Just what the state is going to do
about disposing of it's highway COM
mission bonds is somewhat of a mys-
terry. 1t has been proposed to have the
state do a little investing of its own
as for instance purchasing the issue
out of funds supplied from the general
sinking and interest fund which car
ries some 100000. The law provides
this fund shall be maintained to meet
the general interest of the state and
pay off the sinking funds. 1t does not
say that the state shall purchase its
own bond issues or use the money for
purchasing bond issues or use it for
any other purpose than paying the
interest and sinking funds. 1t does
not say either that the state cannot
use money in the funds for purchasing
bonds. In fact, it seems to be silent
on this question

GNTl-VlVISECTION
BILL is AMENDED

WESTMINSTER standing com
mittee of the house of commons with
Mr.. Wason in the chair, had Sir F.
Banbury's bill prohibiting expert
ments on dogs under consideration
recently The main clause of the bill
enacts that from and after the pass
ing of this act 1t shall be unlawful
to perform any experiment of ma
ture causing or likely to cause pain
or disease to any dog for any pur-
pose whatsoever, either with or with
out anesthetics, and no person or
place shall be licensed for the pur-
pose of performing any such expert
ment"
An amendment limiting prohibition
to incubation experiments was moved
by DR.. Chapel, who claimed that ex-
periments on dogs had led to valuable
results. The bill, he said, was due to
misplaced sentiment and to ignorance
of what occurred at viviseetion ex-
periments
Sir F. Banbury said that he could
not accept the amendment since he
could not agree that it had been es-
tablished that experiments on dogs
we're necessary. The amendment was
finally carried by twelve votes to
nine.

BAR THE GERM

One thing is certain-the busy little
germ is responsible for about all the
ills that flesh is heir to; and il we can
bar its entrance we can keep our sys-
TENS free from the seeds of disease
The natural cavities of the body and
the openings afforded by cuts, scratch
es or insect bites are the points we
should guard; and it is not enough to
just keep them clean: The germ is
persistent. aggressive; and more than
cleanliness Is necessary to quiet its ac-
tiyity.
Keep the germ out by destroying it.
Make the fight offensive instead of de-
fensiye.. Nip trouble in the bud. The
daily use of a reliable Peroxide anti
septic as a mouth wash or douche, or
applied locally to cuts, bruises,
scratches or insect bites, will do this
promptly and effectively.
The best antiseptic to use is LISTO-
GEN 1t goes farther than Peroxide
of Hydrogen by uniting with that most
efficient germ destroyer the remedial
and antiseptic properties of Thymol,
Menthol and Eucalyptol.
These valuable elements take up the
work where Peroxide of Hydrogen
leaves off and with their help LISTO-
GEN not only destroys the germ but in
some degree repairs the damage the
germ has done.
Ask your druggist for LISTOGEN;
you will delight in the purifying, re-
freshing sensation that it gives. rs

Religion needs advertising as well
as business" said George A. Cum
mings. local advertising expert, in a
lecture on the subject of advertising
delivered yesterday morning at the
Westminster Presbyterian church,
says an exchange.
Cummings declared the churches
had reached the point where, in order
&c continue their work, they must adj
vertise, using the same methods as
business firms.
Cummings began his lecture by stat.
ing that the Associated Advertising
Clubs of America had adopted ''Truth"
as an emblem.
Now, while firmly believe that in
spite of the Roadway made in recent
years, II is true that advertising needs
religion, II is also true that religion
needs advertising" he said. II know
that there are many church goers-
well meaning and sincere Christians
10 whom the idea of advertising a
church Is distasteful. They don't be-
lieve in it. And yet there is text,
a very popular text with some minis
tiers, which runs: Let your light so
shine before men that they may see
your good work. and glorify your Fa-
Their, which is in heaven, and although
this text is frequently used as a sig
nal for passing the collection plate,
il seems to me very appropriate one
. for an advertising preachment.
Let the Light Shine.
81 read IL as q command to ev-
church TO advertise. Advertise its
services, its activities, its attractions
and its purpose. Let your light so
shine before men. How are you go
ding to do that without advertising?
You can't Therefore, / take 1t, the
objection to advertising as applied to
churches, lies not SO much in the act
as in the method.
There seems to be no argument
that the light should shine, and If we
can decide upon the correct method of
producing the illumination, we have
very likely solved the problem of
church advertising.
I'VE frequently are told that
churches cannot afford to advertise;
that II takes too much money to run
a campaign. That is the cry of the
man who does not reckon results. You
cant catch a fish without bait Of some
kind. II your congregation were
doubled or trebled, suppose the col
lections and donations could reason
ably be expected to increase in pro-
portion. and If a few dollars judicious.
lye expended in advertising should
