conditions necessary to enable the postal authorities to effect the timely delivery of Christmas gifts. In order to secure thlS cooperation he has caused to be printed for distribution through out the country hundreds ot thousands of circulars and pla- cards containing directions for the proper preparation o1 Christmas gifts for transmission by mail.
 Christmas parcels should be mailed early. For local delivery they should be mailed not later than December 23 and for out of town delivery as early as possl- ble, but in any event in time to reach the offices of destination at least two days prior to Christ mas.
 HOW TO MAIL PARCELS. Christmas gifts sent by mail should be wrapped securely. The containers or wrappers should be sufficiently strong to withstand the necessary hand ling incident to transportation and delivery.
 Glassware, crockery, Christ mas toys easily breakable, glass framed pictures, etc., should be carefully packed in boxes of me- tai, wood, leather, or corrugated pastboard with sufficient excel sior, raw cotton, or similar mat ter to prevent the contents from coming in contact with any DOT tion of the box. These parcels should be marked ''fragile.' Postmasters will refuse to ac- cept for mailing packages that are insecurely prepared.
 Parcels should be addressed plainly. The addresses should be complete and plainly written in ink. The regulations require that parcel post packages shall bear the names of and addresses of both the sender and the ad- dressee. If a tag is used the names and addresses of the sender and the addressee should also be written on the parcel it. self.
 Parcels sent in advance of Christmas may be marked Not to be opened until Christmas" or some similar direction. Written or printed messages such as Merry Christmas, Best Wish es," etc., may be inclosed in par cels, but no other written or printed communication should be placed therein, as this will subject the parcel to a higher rate of postage. Parcels should not be sealed or otherwise closed against inspection. Sealed par cels are subject to the first-class rate of postage.
 | OTHER REGULATIONS.
 Photographs, printed books and other printed matter are not included in the parcel post but are third-class matter on which the postage rate is che cent for l each two Onncas Ov fraction

A bill has been introduced providing
for the sale of $3.50, 600 in bonds to COM

bable that it will 60 through. If the
new building is not provided for, the
old one will have to be remodeled and
it is thought the expense of such work
would pay good part of the interest
on the bonds that would be issued for
the new structure. The part of the
new capitol that is finished is beauti-
full thing but it does not have room
enough in it for all of the officers, let
alone accommodations for the legis-

would become laws than is GUS
tomary. A large number of the
bills introduced are to repeal Sec
tons of the codes or the acts of
the 1911 session. Others are
amendatory to the1911 laws. It
was suggested the other day that
the easy way would be to pass a
bill repeating all of the acts of
1911, but that will not be neces-
sary now as they have nearly all
had chance at amendment.

If T. H. Bartlett should fail to
receive the appointment of Judge
for the tenth judicial district, if it
is created by the present lcgisla-
ture, we presume that the Oro-
fino Tribune will claim that il did
it. The Tribune's influence with
the appointive power in this state
is just about as strong as that of
the devil with St. Peter, and Mr..
Bartlett is not borrowing any
trouble over what the Tribune
say about him. In fact it is a
waste of ink for the Tribune to
say anything, as to who will fill

The highway district law that
was enacted at the last session
is not satisfactory to any body in
its present shape. 1t will have to
be amended to as to provide for
the dissolution of districts where
it is found that they do not fit the
conditions. Representatives Har-
chleroad of Idaho and Chandler of
Clearwater, are preparing a bill
to correct some of the features
that have been found to be un-
satisfactory. A bill was intro
duced in the house today by
Chandler repeating all Of Chap
ter 1873 of the 1911 session laws,
which is one of the important
sections of the highway law.
This law was defective in it's
original passage as it purports to
be an amendment to an act ap-
proved on February - 1911,
when as a matter of fact there
was no law relating to roads ap-
proved on that date.
The session is half over and
many of the important bills are
yet to be introduced. Many
measures that were introduced
in a hurry at the beginning of
the session have been withdrawn
for correction and completion.
Many of the members who had
no previous experience in legisla-
tive matters were anxious to get
their bills introduced. Those
Win more experience waited and
talked matters over with men,

be fewer bills introduced this ses-
sion than usual, but it looks like

OUR BOISE LETTER.

The business of the legislative
session is now getting we'll under
way. The most important legis-
lation so far, has been the crea-
ton of four new counties to date
Franklin, Gooding, Minadoka
and Power counties. The other
important measures have been
the division of the Second Judi
cial district, but it has not yet
passed the senate and is being op-
posed by some of the members
from the counties interested.
There is also one other bill up for
the division of a judicial district,
but it is not wanted by the Judge
OF the district, and it will proba-
bly, meet with more opposition
than the Oversmith bill is meet
ing.
A bill for state aid on the All
sahka-Elk River road was intro
duced yesterday. 1t authorizes
loan on bonds for $4,000 to be
used in assisting to build the road;
makes the board of county COM
missioners of Clearwater County
Commission to construct the
road; requires the state Engineer
to examine the work done by the
counties and report on the value
of the same before the appropria-
ton is available. 1t appears very
likely that this measure will go
through, but when one realizes
the open handed way in which
money was put out two years
ago, and that the state is up
against as hard a proposition as
the county of Clearwater or the
village of Orofino, it would not
be remarkable if the measure
failed in the end. One thing in
favor of it, is the fact that so
many other counties have had
state aid, and that Clearwater
County paid last year over So, 1850
OF the interest on state bonds,
while the interest on this issue is
only $3.50 per year. The state
now has 1884, $50 in bonds out
standing, which is going pretty
close to the limit. OF this amount
there are $S36,OOO of capitol
building bonds outstanding,
which leaves the general fund
bonds now out but $1,528,25O.
However there are bills in asking
for many thousands of dollars
for the various purposes of the
state institutions. The immigra-
ton bureau is coming in for a
general overhauling and possible
obliteration. There seems to be
an impression that it can be
spared. The sentiment against
an exhibit at the Panama EXPOSE
ton in 1915 is quite large
and it is possible that those inter-
ested in local appropriations will
be able 10 combine and spend
money at home, or else not spend
It at all. Every institution in the

state is asking for more money
than it will probably get, except
the Asylum at Orofino.
The name of the Asylum at
Orofino will be changed from
Asylum to Sanitarium or Hospital
if the bills now pending go
through.
The good roads law is 50 I'M
satisfactory and has SO many I'M
constitutional features as it is
now framed, that it will be amend
ed very materially. A bill has
been introduced to give the board
of county commissioners more
power and discretion in the mat
ter of approving the boundaries
Of the proposed districts, and
generally, making the good
roads" district come under the
general controlling power Of the
board of county commissioners.
A bill has also been introduced
cutting down the amount of the
general road and bridge fund that
may be applied to the use of a
good roads district. 1t is also
proposed to abolish the general
road fund as now levied, and al
low the Board Of County Com
missioners to include the amount
necessary for roads and bridges
in their estimates for general
county expenses. In fact it is
possible that all special funds of a
general levy will be abolished ex-
cept the school levy.
A bill has passed the house
that will allow a prospector to
file his affidavit of performance
OF annual labor on a group of
claims and only pay for filing the
one affidavit, instead of paying
the full fee of SO cents for each
claim as is now required under
the decisions of the supreme
court.
The county commissioners will
be given power to change the
boundaries of school districts
without going to all Of the trouble
now imposed in changing the
boundaries of such districts.
The game law is up for gen.
eral overhauling, and it is posi-
BILE that a Commission will be Gre
ated, to serve without pay, to act
in an advisory capacity with the
game warden. County deputies
will be abolished and instead dis
trict deputies will be appointed in
each district. Clearwater and
Lewis counties will probably be
put into the same district. The
details of the new law are now
being worked out between the
State Fish and Game Warden and
the Sportsmans Association.
The new revenue law will be
introduced soon. It will abolish
installment payment of taxes; will
require all assessment rolls, detail
lists, etc., to be procured through
the office of the state auditor.
All forms will be uniform through
out the state. Many changes
have been made, but they are not
going to be as radical as it was
thought they would be.
The booze fighter is up against
a hard proposition when he tries
to put one over this legislature.
Nothing doing; and they better
thank their stars that it is not
made worse than it is for them.

Edinburgh, Scotland. Extensive ad-
ditions are about to be made to the
Edinburgh and East of Scotland Agri-

100 feet when the contemplated work
is finished. They will be four stories
in height with accommodation for
class-rooms, laboratories. lecture
rooms, reading room, public offices,
directors room, and county work staff
rooms. The main lecture room will
measure so feet by 81 feet. The base
ment flat will contain the dairying de-
partment cloak rooms and stores. The
buildings, exclusive of site, will cost
upwards of $4,000 pounds and the ac-
commodation will be practically

Among the common symptoms OF
the presence of round worms are ner-

PRECIOUS appetite. restless sleep. Itch
ing of the yes and nose, nausea and

several inches in length and infest the
stomach. Occasionally several hun
dred are found in a single person.
Thread worms are smaller, often not
longer than a quarter of an inch. The
symptoms denoting their presence are
about the same, but in this case the
child has no appetite.
