PROTEST AGAINST SYSTEM

DR.. George B. Hyde, medical sup
erintendent of the Idaho insane asy-
lum at Blackfoot. is making vigor-
GUS protest against the sending to his
institution of inebriatcs and drug vic
Tins under the impression that they
are going to sanitarium or hospital
for treatment. DR.. Hyde says the
crowding of the asylum is not the
worst feature of this policy that has
grown up under the law enacted by
the last Legislature, The deplorable
feature is the suffering and humila-
ton enAailed on the men and women,
perfectly sane, sent to the asylum to
spend their days and nights among
the insane.
State Should Act
Some highly refined men and wo-
men have been sent to the asylum
under the inebriacy law, ard when
they have recovered from the effects
of drink and drugs their suffering
and humiliation has been pitiable to
see. He insists that if the law is to
remain as it is then the state shcul1
sby all means provide sanitarum for
the treatment of cases Of this kind,
Probate judges in many of the ccun-
ties are sending inebriates to the asy-
lum without giving thought to tho
after effects and. without giving
thought 10 the badly crowded condi-

with the farmers in. the various To-
calitics and instruct them how to APP
ply the hog cholera serum.
The delegation is urging that the
state serum plant at the Idaho Uni
versity be enlarged and a government
inspector directed to remain there to
cooperate with the head veterinarians
until the state legislature meets in
January and q larger appropriation can
be made available.
1t is not the plan Of the Department
TO establish any additional serum fac
tories at present as it is believei
that serum in sufficient quantities can
be furnished from the Government fac
tory in Iowa during the present sea-
son.
DR.. w. L. Carlyle Of tho Univer-
sity 'of Idaho and Representative Bur-
ton L. French have had q conference
with various officials Of the Agricul-
tural Department hooking to the use Of

ried in the Agricultural bill FOR stump

the University denomination farm at

More Improvement For Land Laws
II Congressman Smith has hobby,
It is that of liberalizing the public
land laws. While he is a strong ad-
vocate Of the States having control Of
all the public land within their Dor
ders he realizes that sentiment among
the eastern and southern memberD is
not yet ripe for such an innovation.
Now that the bill to allow entry on
public land by minors upon reaching
the age Of eighteen years. which he
has been pushing. Is on the calendar.
he has initiated another measure
which, it is believed, will benefit
great many young people in the State,
who are anxious to get home upon
the public domain, and yet are re-
quired, because of lack Of capital
to be absent from their entry in an
effort to earn money with which to
improve it. 60
His bill is intended to give q pre-
ference to those entrymen, who are
dovoting the best part Of their lives
TO educating the. youth Of the state.
by excusing them from actual resi-
dence upon their homestead during
the months lof the year in which
they are teaching, providing that each
entryman must reside at least three
months Of tho year upon the land
and make permanent improvements
thereon.

THE CURE FOR SPRING FEVER
Spring Fever Is Real. Spring Fever 10
Earnest. But the Grave 10
Not Its Goal

Spring fever Is q stern reality. It
is not joke, by any manner Of
means. 1t has its basis deep seated
in the change to which the body and
the blood pressure must adjust them
selves on account Of the change from
Gold to warm weather. It is scarce
" necessary to explain the how and
the why. Space forbids. The doc
tors tell us that It Is 80, and we know
It already, SO that's enough.
What you and / want to know is
this, What shall we do about 1t. Shall
We load up on bitters, sarsparillas.
blood purifiers. liver regulators. appe-
Tiers, and tonics of every conceivable
kind. No. that is the very thing you
don't want to do. II the appetite
seems balky. II nothing tastes good.
and II you have that tired, achey,
lazy feeling. here Is the secret. Obey
your impulse; take 1t easy for a few
days. Don't coax the appetite Diet
ing little or going on hunger
strike" for q meal or two at a time
now and then is better than all the
sarsparilas, tonics and appetizers In
town. Don't worry-you will MT
starve. When you really need nour-
ishmcnt. your appetite will return.
And when the appetite does return.
don't take advantage Of it and tank
up On heavy winter foods. You don't
need 90 much heat producing FOOD as
you did in January. What you really
need is food with lots Of bulk and
little energy-laxative foods, in other
words. Cut out the meats, fats, ali
alcoholic drinks land by that wo
mean also all patent medicines, for
alcohol is their main CONSTITUENCY, and
anything that tends to cause constipa-
ton. Eat such things as green vege-
tales. green peas, string beans, spin
nadh. celery, lettuce. radishes, and
plenty Of fruit salads. Many vege-
tables may be obtained canned at this
season of the year at reasonable
krices. Don't forget fruits Of all
kinds. Drink plenty Of water, and,
above all things, keep the bowels
loose. In ninety-nine cases Of spring
fever out of one hundred, the unfor
tunate victims do nit keep their hui
man sewer systems flushed out prop
erly by carefully avoiding constipat.

of Judge Hale in the case of Harold

Stevens was injured while fighting

some years following his release from
the department. After he was pen
stoned he was summarily taken from

the association from removing his
