AS | have not seen any letters
from this part of the country for
some time, thought l would
write few lines, hoping it will
find space somewhere in the COL
umns of your paper.
AS the year of 1918 has passed,
and we have been blessed with
the privilege of looking
out upon the beginning of a
happy new year of 1914, while a
number Of Gods creatures per-
haps fare better than we, have
been called from the works OF
man, and to-day are numbered
with the dead, while We have
been spared for some unknown
purpose, known only to our God,
as the Lord has preserved and
kept US until this time. Let US
enter into a new covenant with
the Lord to put in every day in
this year that He gives us, in the
service Of the Lord. All who
have been regenerated by having
the blood Of Christ applied to
their guilty conscience. Let us
lay aside every thing that would
be detrimental to the cause of
Christ; let all bitterness, wrath,
anger and evil speaking be put
away from you with all malice,
and be We kind one to another,
tender hearted, forgiving one
another even as God for Christ
sake, has forgiven you. Are not
we all serving the same God, 60
ing to the same heaven, will al
be judgedbefore the same Judge!
Then let us be linked together in
one solid band Of brothers and
sisters, with the love Christ mas
commanded, for He said for us
to love one another as He loved
US. So, we must be busy in the
service of the Lord. If we idle
, away our time here and there, in
things that don't belong to the
Lords service, while we are of
duty some Of our dear friends
may slip away to watch, always
pray without ceasing.

as a substitute for carbohydrate in the
production of heat and energy when
necessity demands, II the task were
forced upon 1t. the health of the indi-
vidual would suffer greatly in conse-
Quence. In the oxidation OF carbody-

whereas, on the other hand when a
heterogeneous food Is burned in the body
combustion Is not complete; hence
there Is a certain element of waste, OF
which the body sometimes has diff
Guilty in making complete disposal.
Thus the eliminative organs may be-
come over-taxed. and allow a residue
to remain in the body which will cause
disease. Rheumatism, neuralgia and
nervous disorders are among those dis
eases which result from the faulty
elimination of protein residues.

protein, considering the amount of

from incomplete elimination. Accord

That Boise is the most favorably
situated city in the United States to
profit from the parcel post system ow-
ing to the large number of star routes
leading out from this point and the
fact that its merchants can ship at
such a reasonable rate into localities
which are heavy consumers, and that
the city will be further benefited
through the letting of the new con-
tracts on the star routes, which pro-
vides for the moving OF parcel post

will mean great increase in business,
is the opinion of the postoffice off,
Gals, who have been watching and
checking up on the parcel post business
since its adoption. They have noted
it's increase under the old system Of
carrying the mail and believe that
within a year after the new contracts

sent by parcel post at one cent per

Thousands of young men are in our
agricultural colleges today studying
how to physiologtcally and economi-
cally feed horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs. They are analyzing feeds and
learning how to meet the requirements
of the animals under varying condi-
lions.
BY prolonged and careful expert
ments and tests, 1t has been deter
mined upon what feeds milk COWS will
produce the best and most milk. BY
similar tests on horses and hogs the
best feeds for these animals have been
determined. Not only is this true in
the feeding OF stock, but in all lines
of agricultural industry scientific feed
ing is being applied. 1t has been con-
clusively demonstrated In our agri-
cultural colleges that all plant life.

True. we have hundreds of domestic

more efficient training in this line,
but / am compelled to say that at
present the teaching of the funda-
mental principles of feeding and nutri-

our agricultural colleges. But 1 hope
the time is not distant when a scientific
training in these matters will be con-

Outstanding OF these matters. This 10
not an argument that every woman
should do her own cooking. but I do
contend that every woman who takes
upon herself the sacred responsibility
Of motherhood should be in a position
to intelligently superintend the pre-
pairing Of meals for her family.
Foods in the physiological sense
serve the purpose Of building muscle,
repairing worn out tissue and supply
ing heat and energy. and all the neces-
sary elements should be supplied in
the amounts best suited to meet the
demands of the body. However. It Is
hard. or. indeed. impossible to give any,
exact rules for diet to which every in
dividual could conform, Cor every man
Is to degree a law unto himself; but
the construction of menus should be
based on fundamental principles guar
anteeing combination of foods which
will suffice to keep the body in a oon-
dition of equilibrium. In this matter
a mans occupation must be given due
consideration, for 1t would be as un-
scientific to feed the laborer and the
man of sedentary occupation on the
same diet, as 1t would be to feed milk
cows and stock cattle on the same
quality and quantity of feed. The
laborer, because of a greater expendi-
ture of muscular energy, breaks down
tissue and destroys cell life more rap
idly than the man at the desk; there
fore the laborer needs a more liberal
quantity of protein. Again, because
Of his activity there is the expenditure
Of more heat and energy. and this must
be made good by the consumption of
more carbonaceous foods Still again,
with the man of sedentary occupation,
because OF lack of exercise, the elimin-
alive functions are apt to become
faulty; therefore the more liberal use
of laxative foods and succulent vege-
tables is to be recommended. which
also reduces the danger of an over in
diligence of proteins and carbohy-
drates.
If it can be said that one food ele-
ment is more important than another.
protein would Occupy first place. Some
psychologists claim that we might live
on protein alone, and out of it renew
the whole blood, and repair all brok en-
down parts. However, 1t would be
neither economical nor wise to do so.
Indeed. the attempt would be fraught
with great danger, for although the

Three Different Schedules.
Postoffice Inspector Neal announces
that he is in a position to confer with
anyone DESTROYS of making bids on
the routes and shows that bids on
three different schedules are presented
and also that the government stands
ready to give contractors q very fair
rate for their services.
Some of the important routes on
which contracts are being asked cover
the following territory:
Boise to Idaho City.
Horseshoe Bend to Idaho City via
Placerville.
Caldwell to Jordan Valley.
Murphy to Silver City and DeLamar.
Rogerson to Jarbidge and Contact,

Mountain Home to Rocky Bar. and
from Rocky Bar to Atlanta.

Devils country.

The territory to which Boise mer-
chants can ship reaches nearly to Ba-
ker City on the west and into the

section to the north. Jarbidge, New, to
the south, and the Salmon river district
to the northeast, thus invading ter

Further than that, there should
be no star-chamber proceedings.
The business of the county should
be transacted in the broad light Of
day. Each bill passed and each
check drawn should be open to the
inspection Of anyone who wishes to
see it. No one who presents or
passes an honest bill and no one
who draws or signs an honest
check has anything to fear from
public scrutiny. Our commission
ers must bear in mind that public
crookedness fattens upon darkness
and secrecy and that public suspi-
cion always stands close to the door
Of the star chamber. Therefore,
for the sake of the public, the party
and themselves, the commissioners
should begin their work in Janu-
ary with a firm determination to
make a record that will withstand
the most critical scrutiny of any
taxpayer, no matter to what politi-
cal party h emay belong.

Broadening The Vision

Every mans vision is as broad
as that of the newspaper he reads
The country newspaper, if he lives
in the country, is indispensable to
give him a clear view of his i'm
mediate surroundings; but the city
newspaper is its equally indisL en-
sable complement, No man can be
well-posted nowadays unless he
keeps an eye on what the whole
world is doing. Therefore he needs
bi-focal newspaper glasses the
home newspaper for the little
world around him, the city news
paper for the big world beyond it
sphere of service.
"The Philadelphia Record" is
world-newspaper. It's service ex-
tends to every quarter of the globe.
It's representatives are in every
foreign capital; it's live wires con-
meet with every city, town and ham
let in forty-eight states. It's busi-
ness is to gather in the world s his
tory day by day; to sift it, discard
ing the chaff; to boil down and con-
dense the residue, and to present
all that is worth while, in space
proportioned to it's Importance, in
such shape that intelligent people
will derive profit or enjoyment, or
both, from reading it.
"The Philadelphia Record" is a
newspaper for men, women and
young folks; for farmers and mer-
chants and housekeepers and me-
chanics; for sages and students
for all sorts Of people in every walk
Of life, provided only that they
take a human interest in the news
of the day, and prefer cleanliness,
truth and accuracy to the other
kind Of journalism.
You will get all the news that s
worth while, and you will exclude
the Objectionable and undesirable,
if you make "The Philadelphia Re-
cord" your family newspaper. 1t

THE DUTY OF PUBLICITY

Newark is in court again. We
would much prefer not to mention
the fact. But in order for the
question to be sanely discussed, it
is our opinion that more publicity
should attend these litigations in
settlement of disputes. 1t is only
right and fair that the taxpayers
who pay the bill should at least be
acquainted with questions at issue
Let us be clearly understood,- we
have no desire to bring this matter
up for any sensational presenta-
ton or discussion but only that the
taxpayers may have the opportun-
ity to hear both sides Of the ques-
ton and judge accordingly. With
out such presentation Of facts by
those officially connected with the
affair, no one can pass sane judg-
ment or give a just opinion on the
subject. With the rumored re-
ports with their varied unfounded
interpretations, we could make an
interesting news item, but it would
not be based on facts. Rather
would we see a statement Of the f.
nances, and where the difference of
opinion lies.
Newark has, according to expert
opinion, an exceptionally well built
sewer system According to re-
ports, Mr.. Jacobs, the contractor,
has not received payment in full
for the work.
The reason for this, as we under
stand it, is difference of opinion
by the members of the Sewer Com
mission, concerning the powers
granted them by the Act passed by
the General Assembly. The differ
ence of opinion has extended to
other powers Of the Commission, re-
lating to the contract entered into
with Mr.. Jacobs. The outcome has
been the pending legal procedure.
The decision by the courts costs
money-considerable money judg-
ing from past experiences. If re-
sort to law be necessary to settle
the matter, well and good.
But. our point is that those in
charge of these public affairs, in
volving the expenditure Of the tax
payers money should present the
action before the people. 1t is their
right to know. A clear clean cut
statement of the points at issue will
clear the atmosphere Of persistent
rumors-some perhaps true, some
distorted, some void of reason and
grossly unjust. Let the Courts de-
eide, if needs be- But, gentlemen,
present your case to those you rep
resent-and abide by their decision
