IDAHO 26; GONZAGA 13
GriiYith's Men Too Much for Catholic
COIlegians-LOuX Plays Sensa-
tiOnal Game.

By the final score of 26 to IS the
Idaho basketball five took the measure
of the GonZaga at the university gym
nasium last night in game that Of
fered a full measure of excitement for
everybody. The game was lively from
start to finish but was comparatively
free from trough stuff" but few per-
sonal fouls being called on either
team.
Loux for the varsity proved himself
a real phenom, tossing "a OF the 26
points that went to make the final
count for Idaho just twice that of the
visitors. Loux's basket shooting and
speed stamped him the individual
| star of the game, both teams consider
! ed. He is ideally built for basketball
and though he is a fiend at the cen-
ter post he is more valuable to the
team at forward. Unless something i'm
probable happens before the close of
the season it is Il safe guess to pick
Loux even at this early date as
most likely candidate for the all
northwest frame.
Next to Loux, Keane is deserving of
mention as one of the best men on the
Idaho lineup. His guarding was ex-
ceptionally good in last nights con-
test despite the fact that he was match
ed against the best man on visitors
team. For the Catholics Mulholland
at guard was easily the star performer.
His spurts of speed and stiffness
brought the big crowd to their feet
time after time.
Last nights game was won in the
first half, Idaho gaining 10 to 6 lead
over the visitors in that period. In
the second half the Irish collegians
all their fighting prowess and
held the score down to to tie and |
the game ended 26 to 13.
passing was almost perfect |
visitors had much the better of the
varsity team. Their basket shooting,
however, was not up to standard this
being accounted for, perhaps, by the
act that they were on strange floor
md one much larger than that on
which they have done their drilling.
Accompanied by the Idaho squad the
4onzagans returned today to Spokane.
The two lineups will again mix this
ON Gonzaga's floor. In addi-
ion to the lineup that worked last
light Brown, Gray and Wardrobe were
aiken to Spokane.

James H. Wallis, Idaho state pure
food and sanitary commissioner, gave
an interesting talk at the high school
auditorium last night on Health Con-
servation," which was one of the most
forceful health talks the people of
Moscow ever listened to. 1t fairly
bristled with unvarnished truths, and
the only regret is that we have not
the space to publish it in full. With
out any preliminaries he sailed right
into his talk, declaring that public
health was the most valuable asset of
either the nation, state or city, and
to conserve it was the duty of every

Expended Much Money.

In the last ten years our national
government has very properly eXpend-
ed $40,000,000, and now proposes to
appropriate very much more to prevent
tick fever in cattle, cholera in hogs
and chickens, pests to crops and trees,
and to protect other interests having
commercial value" said Mr.. Wallis last
night. I'm all it's history, it has never
spent dollar or lifted hand to pro-
tect human beings from these far more
important domestic pestilences which
bring constant sickness, sorrow and
death into the homes of the people,
There are abundant experts and funds
at Washington to conduct inyestiga-
tions anywhere, or to furnish literature
in regard to any animal or plant dis
ease, agricultural resource water
power, or other interest effecting bust
ness, but the citizens will inquire in
vain for information as to how to
protect his family from preventable
sickness, unless it be yellow fever,
cholera, or other exotic diseases of lit

affect commerce and trade

1t is admitted that the total casual
ties would be somewhat more because
some were unaccounted for. More
than 10000 people lived on the Sakur-

port says. The earthquake preceding
the eruptions warned the inhabitants
and they fled to the mainland.

At an expense of just $4.65 he con-

one employed by Professor Shattuck
and commenced work on his stumps.
In the past six weeks he has been
burning stumps and giving demonstra-

ed several barrels of liquid which he
intends refining right at home as soon
as he can construct a refining device
similar to the one used in the byprod-

Mr.. Hougen now has two burners
working on his farm and is extracting
about a dozen gallons of acid liquid
per days from his stumps. He has
found the process successful on all
kinds and all sizes of stumps and be-

adopted by the farmers in his vicinity.
He says that not only as a stump re-
mover but as a device for extracting
valuable liquids from the stumps will
the new device prove valuable.

Human Life Most Valuable.

The political economists now re-
cognize that the most valuable kind of
wealth is human life-that human labor
is worth at least five times that of all
other forms of capital. Even the newly
landed immigrant, according to these
investigators, has per capita value of
$S75; that is, he adds just that much
to the nations capital Professor Iry-
ing Fisher of Yale, one of the foremost
American economists, has painstaking-
ly figured the financial value to the
state of every citizen at particular ages
A newborn infant, says Professor
Fisher, is actually worth $50. while
five-year old child is worth $3.50.
From this point on his value rapidly in
creases; at ten, could he be sold at
auction, his market value would be at
least $1,000; at twenty at could be $4,000
and at thirty, $4100 From this point
the average human being begins to lose
value, in proportion to his decreasing
productivity, until at fifty, Professor
Fisher gives him value of only $500.
This same authority places the worth
of the average life lost by preventable
diseases at $1,000.

"All of which reminds me of an in

THAT in her struggle to maintain her

taking care of her; that the state had
made no provisions for any case like

Value of Children's Lives.

What is the value placed by the
average citizen upon his childrens
lives-not the financial value estimated
by the Unconditional economist. but the
worth of affection, good citizenship and
all that holds the social organization
together?
In an address to the national con-
servation congress held in Kansas City,
Mo-, DR.. Wiley said that the health of
the nation was worth $4,000, ,000, 900,
taking $500 per annum as the average
per capita earnings of the people; that
is, of $4,500,000 adults, each represent
ing capital of $1,000 invested at five
per cent. This was preliminary to and
explanatory of his declaration and ne
cessity to enforce the pure food and
drug laws, if the health of the nation is
to be preserved and maintained.

Health Brings Happiness.

Health he said, has more to do
with the happiness, prosperity and util-
| ity of the human organization than all
the gold, coal and iron to be found
in the land. For, if all of them were
exhausted, science would provide sub
stitutes, although it cannot provide
any in place of health.
THE dangers which confront this
vast asset of the nation, he said, were
the inheritance of disease or of weak
ened bodies, poor nutrition, and unsan-
itary conditions, the latter caused by
over-crowding in big cities and the
lack of hygienic knowledge in the coun-
try districts brought on an incur
able disease, the home was broken up.

man emitted low whistle, which was
not answered. With a muttered excla-
nation, the stranger retraced his
steps, and, walking directly past Hol-
ton in the other direction, leaned over
the railing and whistled again.
Holton never afterward knew what
possessed him, but he noticed that the
man had left the front door slightly
ajar.- Acting upon quick thought, he
suddenly leaned down, unlaced his
shoes, and then, with quick glance
at the fellow still leaning over the
railing and cursing under his breath,
he stole from his position, made for
the open door. and slipped hastily and
noiselessly into the hall.
A light with a deep red shade was
burning here, and the shadows 1t cast
were heavy. The door of the room in
to which he had been peering was half
open, and across the hall, directly op-
posite, was a corresponding room, the
interior of which was not lighted.
Into this apartment. scarcely breath
ing, Holton stole. standing inside the
jamb and listening with strained ears.
Before he could adjust himself to the
sense of what was being said, the man
who had emerged from the door when
Holton was on the veranda returned
into the hall, closed the door and en-
tered the lighted room. He was at
tired in the uniform of captain in
the navy, and his entrance seemed to
quiet somewhat the ardor of the argu-
ment.

How you hated them. how you fought

Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
