1.-THE WISE SPECIALIST

or today Is one who regards himself
as the attorney for his patients. He
safeguards their interests, and his en-
deavor is ever to protect them from
their own error in judgment.
Reader, do you regard any organ of
your body of more Importance than
your eyes? When they bother you in
any way do you regard them so cheap
ly as to trust them to be fitted with
glasses by any one but specialist?
Did you know that cheap glasses are
worse than poison to your eyes? That
once your sight is ruined all the re-
grets in the world for your bad judg-
ment will not bring back your sight?
Don't you see that an eye specialist
is your eyes best friend when they
need attention? A specialist can feel
the pulse (figuratively speaking) of
your eye, and knows what they need
better than any other person in the
world.
| Don't you see that 1t is to your ad-
vantage to have your eyes attended
to only by a specialist-you are the
gamer.
For results and thorough examina

OUR NEloHBoRS OPINION OF
BORDER DAYS.

The great Border Days celebration,
which opened yesterday at Grange
vile and continues it's wild and
woody career until Saturday night, is
drawing vast crowds of people from
many miles around, and Nezperce is
sending its quota to swell the mighty
host. Many went and are going in
autos and more are taking advantage
OF the special train schedule and
some are going in horse vehicles. A
special train is run ON the Camas
prairie line each of the four days of
the event, from Lewiston to Grange
vile and return. The Border Days"
is generally recognized now as the
worlds greatest frontier show, locat-
ed as it is in the heart of what IS
left of the range and frontier life In
this country and here the real thrill
ers in cow boy sports and border
stunts are pulled off.-NezPeroe Her

also listing the common every day

cause they are Judgment proof, In
being inaugurated by Walla Walle
firm. The Salmon Herald has this
to say of the work in Lemhi county:
L. M. Hines, representing the
Merchants Merchantile Co., Inc, of
Walla Walla, was In this city Friday.
This company goes into the highways
and byways of trade and secures
ratings as to the credit on all classes
of people. 1t Is their claim that be-
fore the close of this year they will
have listed 90 percent of the people
in the whole northwest, including the
entire population of Lemhi county ana
will have published a report on each
one as to how he pays his debts, etc.
Dead beats will be listed in proper
shape. This Is the first time the
credit rating guide has extended to
include Tom, Dick and Harry, but 1t
is here, and the merchants will have
the dope on you every time, as to
whether you meet your bills or not.
The boks out now contain the names
of about two thirds of the residents
of Lemhi county, and they are rapid
ly picking up the rest.

IOWA MAN PATENTS
STOCK TANK WARMER

Eldora, Oct. Sd. r. Marling Of
New Providence, has worked out an
idea of his own for keeping water in
stock tanks warm in cold weather.
which he believes will prove more
practical and economical than any of
the patent tank heaters.
To try out his plan Mr.. Marling,
when he recently built new concrete
water tank, built underneath one end
Of the long tank fire box, From TINS
fire no, there extends underneath the
length of the tank a pipe about the
size of an ordinary stove pipe and at
the end of this pipe there is attached
a perpendicular pipe high enough to
insure good draught and to carry off
the smoke. He will use cobbs and wood
for fuel in his tank heater, but the de-
vice is so constructed that coal crate
can be easily attached, if desired.
