A CLEVER IDEA

One of the cleverest ideas of which
we have heard for Christmas gifts is
that of sending a carton of apples t.
friends and relatives who live where
the excellent Idaho fruit is not to be
had at price that is not practically
prohibitive.
The choicest apples are chosen, care
fully polished and wrapped, and then
packed in the neat, light cartons which
may be bought at local implement
dealers. The gift may include only
six apples, or it may be increased to
twenty or thirty. The packages by
parcel post can be sent anywhere, and
the recipients will be sure to enjoy
the flavor of the shining Idaho prod
uct.
1t would be a delightful experience
in California or in Maine or in Flor
ida or in Iowa to open on Christmas
morning a small box of scarlet cheek
ed apples The delicious aroma would
make every member of the family keen
for a bite, and it would be foregone
conclusion that there wouldn't be mo
core to any apple that day.

VALUE OF HYOMEI
It's the Safe Catarrh Remedy. Nothing
Better for Colds

| Do not endanger your health by TAX
ing strong drugs in the hope of curing
coughs, asthma, head colds or dan
gerous catarrh that frequently destroys
the hearing. Use Hymonei, a simple
combination of healing oils that you
breathe through a small inhaler. It's
curative and health-giving medication
clears stuffed-up heads like magic.
Hyomei quickly goes to all the sore
and inflamed tissues lining the nose and
throat-its antiseptic healing begins at
once and dull headaches, that distress
ing choking, constant shifting, and
unclean discharges surely cease.
Hyomei is not only pleasant treat
ment but very inexpensive. Be sure to
get the complete outfit that contains
inhaler and bottle of liquid. R. Hodg-
ms sells it on the "No-cure-no-pay"
plan. Surely try Hyomei today-you
have nothing to lose on this generous
offar 7O-75

FORMER MOSCOW GIRL DEAD
Ritzyille Paper Publishes Obituary o
Mrs. A. II. Woodruff

Ritzville (Wash) Journal-Times
At the Sacred Heart hospital in Spo
kane, Wednesday, December 2, 1917
after two years illness, aged 2s
years, months and 23 days.
AS noted in the columns of the
Journal-Times last week, Mrs. Wood
ruff was taken to Spokane Sunday
night, November 18th, the case having
progressed so far that her parents
were no longer able to give her the
care her case required. 1t was not, at
that time thought that Mrs. Woodruff's
sufferings were so nearly over While
her malady was cancer, the immediate
cause of her death was exhaustion,
she having taken no food for ten days.
Deceased was born at Jackson, Min
nesota on the 9th day of August, 1885,
and was the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. D. Smith, this city. Some II
years ago she came west with her par
ents.
y
married to Arthur H. Woodruff, of
Spokane. The fruit of this union was
little Ruth, now two years and 8
months old
Two years ago last October, Mrs.
Woodruff first knew that she was the
victim of that awful scourge-cancer.
Two major and one minor operations
were performed at the Sacred Heart,
but to no avail. The progress of the
disease was very rapid, and human
help was powerless. Her saddened
parents could only stand at the bed
side, witness their daughters awful
sufferings and know that they were
helpless as babe to aid. And so,
for many long, weary months the loved
ones have sadly waited for the grim
Mrs Woodruff was member of the
M. E. church in Ritzville, and glor-
ious example of what the religion of
Jesus Christ can do for one, although
for months pain-wracked and well
knowing that recovery was impossible.
She died supreme in the faith.
Funeral services were held from the
parlors of Hauzen & Jae-
ger, Spokane, Friday, the 4th inst, at
II o'clock a. M, the interment being |
at Greenwood.
The funeral services were conducted |
by Rev. Fred c. White of Lind, for
mer friend of the family in Minnesota.
The pail bearers and the music were
also by former neighbors of Winnebago
City, Minnesota. The granddaughter,
little Ruth, will be reared by her
Mr. and Mrs. w. D.
Smith of Ritzville. The sympathy OF
I'll go out to the bereaved ones.

NATURE. THE DECORATOR

The final touch of Christmas has
been added to the landscape by the
snow which has been falling steadily
and lightly today. In southern eli
mates where the air is not sharp.
where roses are blooming, and oranges
are ripening on the trees, there must
be very little to suggest the great mid
winter holidays.
Snow and little rigor in the atmos-
phere seem somehow the necessary ac-
compartments of shopping for Christ

PRACTICAL SERVICE

The college of agriculture of the
ing the people of the state in ways
that are not always brought to the az
tention of the people at large. One OF
these is by the publication of short
bulletins recording the results of ex-
periments undertaken for the purpose
of securing specific information for
use by farmers.
One of the most recent of these
bulletins is that by J. S. WEIGH on
Grass Pastures for Irrigated Lands.
The bulletin discusses the proper
kind of land for pasture, the kind Of
seed to use, the method and time OF
seeding, the care of the pasture, the
proper times and ways to irrigate, and
the specific results in the increase in
weight of cows pastured on the sew
eral grass plots.
The conclusions of the bulletin
should, because they are clearly and
precisely stated, prove useful to any
farmer who lives in an irrigated sec
ton and wants to know how to pasture
his COWS to the best advantage.
Another interesting and valuable
bulletin is that recently issued by e.
]. Iddings. head of the animal hus-
bandry department, who has coin
piled a directory of the Idaho Breed
ers of Pure Bred Live Stock AS Ida
no is only just beginning to realize
the enormous profits to be derived
from more extensive investment in
this industry, and as many farmers
are now looking ahead to obeying the
sound slogan, drive your crop to
market" Mr. Idding's directory is most
timely and will certainly prove of very
great value
Farmers are urged to secure copies
Of these bulletins which may be had I
free upon application to the Universe
~ of Idaho, and it is to be hoped that
he opportunities the institution offers
hem of finding out just how and just
low not to farm will not be neglected.

MISSING OCEANIC IN PORT
Italian Ship Was Long at Mercy
of Severe Gales.

The Italian steamship Oceano which
left Lisbon forty-six days ago for New
York, and had been posted as missing
for the last two weeks, came 10 port
yesterday in tow of the German
freighter Elizabeth.
The Oceano, which is a slow cargo
boat Of about nine knots, should have
made the run from Lisbon in from six
teen TO twenty days. Bad weather
which has delayed practically all west
bound steamships during the last two
weeks. is thought to have damaged the
Oceanos machinery and caused her TO
drift for many days at the mercy Of
the gales.
The Oceano carries crew Of fifty
men. The Elizabeth left Norfolk, Va,
January l. for Norway. 1t is believed
she found the disabled Oceano four or
five days ago, when about 500 miles
southeast Of Sandy Hook.

the great majority of the inhabitants both
