FACTS ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS

tuberculosis or Consumption, is a
durable disease, provided treatment is
begun as soon as the first symp-
toms are noticed. 1t requires a long
time and great deal of patience to
effect a complete cure, SO do not get
discouraged, stop treatment or change
doctors because your health does not
improve as rapidly as you think it
should.
Long experience has proven that
strict observance of the following ruiz G
will hasten the cure and prevent the
spread of the disease:
/. Avoid patent Consumption
Cures" so-called Medical Institutes, -
and advertising Quacks-they are
more interested in your money than in
your health.
2. Spend as much of your time as
possible in the open air, protected. in
winter, by suitable clothing.

THE WORLDS SUNDAY School,
WORKERS

About 1000 American delegates are
attending the worlds Sunday school
convention at Zurich, Switzerland,
early in July. The last convention,
held at Washington, reported an en-
rollment of 28,OO0,OOO. It is still
very live movement.
The modern Sunday school faces OBJ
stacles formerly. non-existent. Lax
family government affects discipline.
You can make Alloy behave. in pub:
lie school because the parents use ex-
treme measures rather than see him
expelled. The Sunday school teacher
relies on his own wits and diplomacy
The child feels he is doing favor
to all concerned bygiving half hours
unwilling and fragmentary attention
weekly, to be paid for in a currency
Of picnics, Christmas trees and par
ties.
Intellectual persons, most of whom
plead nervous prostration if asked to
teach in Sunday school, deplore tn
superficial methods used. Occasion
ally they recommend scientific an
pedagogic courses, which II industrious
ly pursued, would do the youngsters E
world of good. Meanwhile the teach
er feels very well satisfied if she get
through a session without Billy's gi
ing Johnny more than three upper
cuts under the ear.
Much of the teaching Of Sunday
schools is unintelligent. Put can't
you recall some dear, prim old lady
in faded black bOmbazine, who used
to stumble through the lessons after
much wiping Of spectacles and mis-.
pronouncing Of hard Names? Her view
of the Bible may have been deplorably
crude. But there was a sweetness OF
face, a gentleness Of voice, seren
ity of faith that showed she dwell
as near the house of the Lord as
more learned philosophers.
The worlds Sunday school work
ers will exchange useful information
about courses, methods, text books
but all these are subordinate to the
personality of the teacher. Rev. c
A. Edwards, former pastor Of the
NJ E. church, was sent by his congre
cation at Baker, Oregon.

Blackfoot's Growth Brings Forth
Daily Paper

The growth of Blackfoot has at
tracted E. A.. Cooke, editor of the
Shelley Pioneer, and as result the
Bingham County Courier, an evening
daily paper made it's appearance July
LIST. Mr.. Cooke purchased the print
ing plant of the Citizens Bank, Poca-
tello, which at one time constituted
the plant of the Pocatello Advance,
published by Truxton Talbot, former
resident of Blackfoot, and which at,
ter MIR. Talbot's management, was
published as the Gate City News,
finally falling into the hands of tt
bank about three years ago. A part
of the equipment is fine STANDARD
Mergenthaler machine. The editor OF
the new paper is a worker, and if a
daily can be made success of, in
this town, Mr.. Cooke will probably be
the man who can do 1t. The first
issue, published under the difficulties
attendant upon moving a plant over
land from Pocatello and establishing I
in one week, is good ono, and We
wish tho sheet long life in the field
Of journalism.

PREVENTATIVE FOR HOG
CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE

The undersigned has a receipt for
preventative for hog cholera and
swine plague, which has been used
successfully in the states of Ohio
and Indiana for years. This receipt
was secured for the benefit of the
farmers of this section and the medi-
cine will be sold as an accommodation
to all raisers Of hogs at a nominal
sum. Ex-Sheriff F. E. DeKay has lost
$500 worth Of hogs at his Tyne ranch
with disease that battles the United
States and state veterinarians. We
put no guarantee on this medicine as
it has been clearly demonstrated that
what will stop the spread of disease
in one bunch of hogs has no effect on
others, but our interest in the vel.
fare of farmers prompts us to place
this receipt within the reach of all
for what it is worth. We will have
the receipt filled at any time for
anyone who wishes to use it, and as
it is inexpensive a fair trial may save
several hundred dollars worth of hogs
for man at small cost. adv. IT,

THE POLICY OF FRANkNEss

Much was said at the gathering of
advertising men at Baltimore, about
truth in advertising. This is prin-
ciple that this newspaper has always
emphasized. 1t may say something
more about it soon. 1t is principle
that is pervading all business life.
A slump of speculative DISCOURAGE
ment followed the decree in the Min
nesota railroad rate cases. Railroad
men complain bitterly of the hostility
of the public. Business men call for
more cooperation, in which the pub
lie shall allow the railroads to make
fair dividend, and the railroads shall
give the best possible service at mod
crate charges, and all shall pull to-
gether to boost the community.
The same policy of frankness that
the advertising writer's have been
urging, which leads the modern busi-
ness man to tell just what his goods
are, will help remove anti-corporation
hostility.
The old motto used to be, in the
language of the mining country,
Every man for himself and hold your
cards close to your belly Now a
good many people have become con-
WINGED that some games can best be
played with the cards down on the
table.
When a railroad bought up a COM
petitor, the reason formerly assigned
was that the property was wanted as
a feeder" If this was not the real
reason, irritation was created. When
you are dealing with a man who fails
to give you the real reason for his
action, you view all his acts with sus'
picion The same principle prevails
in the dealing between the public and
the roads.
The railroad magnate who opens
his accounts to the public, who as
signs the real reason for his acts, Is
going to dissipate existing hostility
1t is only fair to say that franknese
is much more in evidence than 1t was
The railroads are suffering now fol
the sins of the past more than from
those of the present.

COOPERATION IN
WORK IN FORESTS

The national forest service and the
fish and game department have enter
ed into an agreement by which forest
rangers in Idaho will be deputized as
deputy fish and game wardens for the
protection of fish and game in this
state and state deputy fish and game
wardens will be authorized with power
to report fires and other matters OF
Importance within forests while cm-
ployed in their work as deputies. The
agreement between the federal and
state governmental departments was
made by State Game Warden Barber
on behalf of the state and e. A. Sher-
man, deputy forester
By the terms of the agreement the
state is to pay the actual travelling
expenses and expenses attached as wit
ness fees when they are making ar
rests or appearing in trials in state
fish and game cases. The forest rang
ers are to have the full authority of
state fish and game deputies. They
will be authorized to make arrests for
violation of the fish and game laws,
to bring defendants into court and ap-
pear as plaintiffs against them, to act
as witnesses and, in fact, perform all
the duties of state warden.
The state wardens are in turn per-
mitted to report to the federal serv.
ices violations of the rules and regu
lations Of the service, to report f.
should they discover them within
national forests ard to take all pre-
cautions to put out such fires or to
prevent fires.
State Game Warden Barber stated
today that he believes the agreement
will work satisfactory to both the stat
and the government, declaring that ii
is a plan of cooperation that will
bring about harmonious feeling and
reduce the cost of patrol and the en-
forcement of the laws to great ex
tent.-Capital News.

LOOKING BACK TO cETrYsBuRe

To the average man the great Get
tysburg reunion is mostly a big picnic.
The occasion observed is something
he studied about in school more or
less musty with the dust of libraries
The writer, reading the other day
the life of Gen. Robert E. Lee, found
the pages dealing with Gettysburg
scrubbed over with pencil foot notes
expressing the controversial convic-
tiOns of some veteran. To him and
his comrades these pages are evident
ly still thrilling with live human prob
lens.
No two veterans will ever quite
agree just what turned the day at
Gettysburg. On one side Lee, auda-
cious, a superb tactician, worshipped
by his matchless army, whose force
nearly equalled it's opponents, whom
he had repeatedly whipped. He look
ed like a winner.
like, efficient, arousing confidence but
not enthusiasm, with an army equally
tenacious and heroic.
Did Lees audacity carry him toe
far in sanctioning that glorious but
suicidal charge of Picket's? Or was
it Longstreet's fatal slowness in max
ing his attacks of the second anG
third day? Hear the veterans thumI
the table while they argue it out.
Although the majority of students
probably blame Longstreet, Lees fine
magnanimity appeared when he said

AT THE TOP OF THE
CONTINENT

Archdeacon Stuck and party, hav-
ing reached tho highest point of Mt
Mckinley, seem to have varied the
usual mountaineering proceeding. Hav-
Ing completed the necessary scientific
observations, they stopped and said
Te Deum on the highest point of
North America. Usually a climbing
party, having risked their necks to
get to the top, arc in such hurry
to get down that they could not spare
five minutes to repeat the old Latin
hymn.
Mountain climbing is declared the
most hazardous and the most thrilling
sport in existence. Its rewards can
hardly consist in the view from the
summit. The few moments on the
top are commonly spent in worryin
about the return.
So the satisfactions of tho more
dangerous climbs seem to be about
tourist, who goes to Stratford @;
Avon or the picture galleries, not b
cause he enjoys the experience, b,
in order to tell his friends that he h
been there.
But as an achievement of muscu
lar and nervous self control, hardi
hood and physical efficiency, the fina
story Of Archdeacon Stuck will ne
doubt remain a classic. 1t has beer
supposed that there is no access tt
this summit but over q vertical wal
1000 feet high No possible path il
known that is free from avalanches
With the noise of a thousand can
mons and the hiss of volcano, thes,
are constantly sweeping over tn,
fangs Of the monster with their ton
on tons of ice and rock.
Let not timid souls condemn thes'
stout hearts as fool-hardy. The hu
man race would be living in dugout
today, had not its more adventurou
souls been willing to gamble witt
death as others would with a broker
ankle.

man stepped in and started a daily.
Considering the fact that the pap

overlooked any chance to give their
readers the news just as fast as the
