WILL SECURE
THE PUBLIC
HEALTH
SHOSHONE OFFICIALS DEMAND
GOOD DRINKING WATER AND
ARE MOVING TO
GET 1T.

DR.. Zeller, city health officer, ano
CITY Attorney Paul Haddock OF sho-
shone are in Boise today to con-
suit the State Board Of Health re-
parding the water situation as II
now exists in Shoshone. Attorney
General Peterson will also be called
into the conference and it is ex-
pected that the water company will
be represented. The various
mooted points will be taken up and
an attempt made to reach some
satisfactory agreement on the mat
ter.
AS it now stands the water com
pany contends that it should not be
compelled to assume the cost OF
taking whatever steps may be nee
essary to afford the city of Sho-
shone satisfactory quality OF
water.
Legal advice so far as has been
given the City Council is to the
effect that the company is respon-
sible to the city and that the
company should assume the ex-
pense of rendering the water suppl!
fit for domestic purposes.
1t is not the intention OF any
of the city officials, it is said, to
start anything like a water scare
nor are they inclined to start
any litigation if it can possibly be
avoided, but they are decided or
one point and that is that if the
Attorney Generals office shOulC
rule with City Attorney Haddocb
that the company is responsible to
the city for the purification OF
the water supply, they will at
once take the proper steps to COM
pei the company to take prompt
action.
There can be no denying the fact
that the situation is a grave one
and one which demands immediate
and remedial action and there
seems to be no reasonable excuse
why the water company should re-
fuse or even hesitate to take such
action. The city is growing and
with the constant increase in de-
mands for water the company
should be mindful of the interests
of their customers to afford the

HAIGHT LAW, DRUGGISTS SAY,
COMPEIS THEM TO CUT BOOZE

Nampa, May f3-All previous dry
experience is as naught compared
to the drouth now confronting res
idents of Canyon county. If the
present intentions of the druggist:
of the county are carried out II
will be absolutely impossible tc
purchase alcohol, wlhiskey, or any
other alcoholic beverage, for medl-
cine, mechanical, manufacturing OF
other purposes, or any preparation
containing alcohol in part, either
with or without physicians pres
cription in Canyon county.
I'VE will not sell whiskey, al
cohol OF alcoholic beverages, on
prescriptions or otherwise, at this
store" is the declaration that has
been posted in local drug stores,
and it is said that all of the drug
gists of the county have entered
into an agreement to discontinue
the filling of allprescriptiOns call
ing for alcohol in any form.
Law Full OF Dangers.
The action is taken on account of
the Haight law, which becomes ef-
fective this week. The drug men
claim that the provisions of the
new law so limit the filling OF
prescriptions calling for liquor or
alcohol that it will not pay them
to take out government license
and carry the goods in stock;
Furthermore, attorneys consulted
by the pharmacists hold that it is
almost impossible for a druggist to
fill a prescription for liquor with
out laying himself liable to pros
ecution. Pending a test OF the new
law the drug men propose TO pro-
tect themselves by refusing to sell
or carry in stock any liquor OF
alcohol.
The druggists will file the $500
bond required by the Haight law
before any form or amount of al
cohol can be kept in stock, but
will keep ON hand less than five
gallon of alcohol, which will be
used by them for conpoundlng and
manufacturing purposes but not
for sale or prescriptions. by
keeping within the five gallon limit
they will escape the necessity OF
taking out a government license.
Must Look TO WetS.
Incidently physicians who have
been using alcohol for sterilizing
their surgical instruments will
hencefroth be unable to purchase
it at home, and hospitals will
have to purchase the alcohol they
use at some point IN wei terrl-
tory.
1.-The intent of the new liquor
Legislation will undoubtedly be car
ried out" said a we'll known Can
yon druggist Saturday. "All pres
criptions for liquor will have to
be taken to Boise to be filled, and
all persons desiring alcohol for
medical, mechanical and manufac-
turing purposes will have to go to
the capital city to purchase it.

BEST TINE OF YEAR
TO GET THE FL les.

A few flies live over winter.
These are the sluggish ones seen
early in the spring. The females
are ready to lay eggs and are seek
ing stored stable manure. In
few days each female that passed
the winter will be represented by
two hundred fifty to four hundred
individuals. Thus they will con-
tinue to multiply for the rest of
the summer. Thoroly spraying
the manure with Kerosene will kill
the eggs of young maggots, but
will spoil the manure for fertilizing.
Spraying the manure with Paris
Green water "a tablespoon TO-
bucket Of waterl will poison the
maggots. The best way is to haul
the manure TO the open fields once
each week, and spread it out where
it can dry. The drying kills the
maggots.
Flies will breed in outhouses and
garbage. Threse should be closed
flytight, OF sprinkled frequently
with chloride of lime, freshly
Stacked lime or kerosene. One fly
killed today will equal the killing
of several thousand next August.
If civic pride in no incentive for
action, the safety of thegenreya !
action, the safety of the general
health ought to demand that each
person take a hand in this fly
fight.
