illustrates the extreme caution of the West

The new arrival met an interesting young
stranger, and as it was near night, proposed
that they pitch camp together. After they
had unpacked their things and had a bite to
eat. they we're enjoying quiet smoke prior

sue a fire prevention proclamation,
setting aside day in this state to be
known as "Fire Prevention day." whel
there will be a general cleanup all
over Idaho Of refuse and debris that
will in any way tend towards adding
fuel to possible fire.
A communication has been received
at the governors office calling at
tention to the advisability of issuing
such a proclamation. Acting Governor
Taylor stated that he would probably
not attempt to issue the proclamation

that there is lost annually in the
United States some $3.50, 000. 900 throrl
fires, this nation holding the fire re

pose of preventing such tremendous
loss that observance Of fire prevention
day is urged. The date to be Sc

Peev1sh Chill ren
Suffer With Worms

Don't be angry with your child be-
cause he or she is continually irritable.
In ninety-nine out of one hundred
cases you will find that the trouble
is worms.
Among the common symptoms of the
presence of round worms are nervous
ness,-which often leads to epilepti-
form attacks ;-dizziness, vertigo, cap
ricious appetite, restless sleep, itching
Of the eyes and nose, nausea and often
hystsTia. Round worms are several
inches m length and infest the
stomach. Occasionally several hun
dred are found in single person.
Thread worms are smaller, often not
longer than quarter of an inch.
The symptoms denoting their presence
are about the same, but in this case
the child has no appetite.
Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is unsur-
passed in removing worms. Not only
will it destroy them, but its tonic
effects will restore the stomach to
healthy activity. AS Jayne's Tonic
Vermifnge seldom purges, the inGi-
cations Of it's beneficial effects, will
be the improved conditions Of the
person using it.
Millions of parents have praised
this medicine for more than eighty
years. Insist upon Jayne's Tonic Vcr-
1lifuge, and accept no other. Sold

Some More Parcel Post Talk.

Postmasters have received copies of
a general order providing for the
installation of the COLLECTION. delivery
system for the parcel post. The Omaha
World Herald says: The new rule pro-
vides that after July /, 1913, packages
may be sent by parcel post, G. O. D.,
provided that the fall amount of the
postage on the package is paid and 10
cents in parcel post stamps in addition
to the amount required for postage, be
attached to the package. Upon de-
livery of the package the person to
whom it is addressed must pay the
charges on the package and sign re-
ceipt, which also serves as an applica-
ton for money order. This tag, TO-
gather with the amount collected, is re-
turned to the money order department,
where money order IS made out to
the sender of the package and forward.
ed in penalty envelope, the money
order serving the sender Of the pack
age as a receipt for the goods. No
goods SO sent may be examined until
the charges on the package have been
paid. No package can be returned
after delivery. This new branch of the
parcel post service will undoubtedly
increase the business, and it is estim-
ated by some that it will in time entire
ly do away with the express business in
the United States. Any package so
sent is insured for its value, which
shall not exceed 500, without extra
charge. c.. o. D. packages may be
