The Home Talent Play.

Hard work and dligent rehearsal
resulted 10 one Of the best presenta-
tions Of play by home talent, last
Friday night, ever witnessed In Rath-

was the attendance was large and the
audience was kept in ripple Of
amusement as the plot was unfolded
with its succession Of ludicrous situa-
tions from beginning to end.
The play was long and some of the
parts quite difficult, making 1t all
the more creditable for those 10 the
cast. that the play was success.
Mr.. j. d. DAVIS as John Smith, the

ed home, was excellent, as was also
Noel Taylor in the role OF the French
character, General Billetdoux. A
most difficult role was that so well
taken by H. A. Hunsley as the Ger
man count. Miss Kathryn Smith, as
Mrs. John Smith, was the center Of
attraction as the proud lady OF the
house, whose little decepti0ns to
smooth over difficulties resulted SO
disastrously. Mrs. e. G. Tweet. as
Lavinia DAILY, the ''lady cook" was
excellent as a comedienne. Miss
Marian Laird as Miss Smith, and
Miss Grace Adamson. as Mrs. Billet

very clever manner. Miss frances

LIGHT AND POWER RULES
Matter Up to Public Utilities Com
mission.

BOISE. Much OF tie immediate de-
velopment and prosperity of Idaho,
especially In the rural communities,
is said to hinge on the nature Of an
order soon to be ISSUED by the pubic
utilities commission. This has to do
with rules to govern the construction
OF overhead lines for the transmits
sion and distribution Of electric power
aud light.
There Is said to be grave danger
that those rules may be made SO
arbitrary as to make 1t iMpracticable
to extend power and light. lines out
into rural communities where there
are rapidly growing demands for them,
II other interests are permitted TO
dictate.
1t il proposed by the telephone and
railroad compa nies to establish rules
OF such character rs to add heavily to
the cost Of construction. The imme-
diate result Of this added expense,
say the power and light companies,
would be to bar them out from
vast domain Of rich but undeveloped
Idaho territory.
Rules such ss are now demanded II
is claimed would make 1t lmpractica-
Bile for the power and light companics
to construct rural lines carrying up
ward Of 5000 volts. Light aud
power people claim 1t has been demon-
strated that line carrying $500
volts Is the most practical ard
&c 1nomical lloe fer small. outlying
districts, and that II Is just as ST..
as a line with "a much smaller vu'L-
age.
Oregon and Washington have es-,
tablished rules permitting the use OF
voltage up to l5. 900 for rural Develop
ment, and this without requiring any
OF the special construction now said
to be demanded by the telephone aud
railway interests In Idaho.
These interests 1t Is averred, de-
mand a type OF construction At cross
ings In this state SO expensive ana
cumbersome as 10 make ths u
grevious burden on the compani'
compelled to install the crossings
AS the railroads and telephones ar
already ON the ground, 10 most cases
;. this burden Of crossing construction
is thrown upon the power aud High
$ companies alone.

Hints For Winter Health.
(By DR.. r. r. Daniels.)

1t is quite possible to have just as
good health during the winter as any
other time of the year. All that Is
necessary is good care. Our eaI'ng
is of extreme in portance during cold
weather. since at this time we need
more food than at any other season,
but at the same time we should aVold
overeating. Too much food is pro.
ductlve of even more harm than too
little food.
In cold weather we need consider
ably more fat food; most persons 90
mt eat enough fat. However, in Sc
lecting cur winter diet, we shouia
avoid foods that are difficult to di
oest consequently, we should not use
fried foods. but should get our fats in
bntter. cream, olive oil, bacon and
other fat meats. Fats may be added
as seasoning to any other Ioods a'le'
cooking, but not before cooR'ue.
cwaets are also valuable fuel foods;
hut like the fats, they should not be
cooked into other foods. The sweets
we get from fruits, especially dried
fruits, are the most wholesome.
Most persons fail to get sumc'en'
vegetables during cold weather. Green
roootahIes are al valuable for food as
meat and potatoes, since they con'd u

PROGRESS Of THE WAR
Varying Fortunes Mark Recent
Events.
The BATTLE IN. POLAND
Austrian Reverses In Servia.-
Abandon Belgrade.

Varying fortunes for the con-
tending armies have marked the
progress OF the European war the
past week. Attacks and counter
attacks were made along the
western battle front in Belgium
and France. Neither side has
gained any advantage, due chiefly
to severe weather. In England
opinions were voiced that the time
had come for the allies 10 assume
vigorous offensive and begin
driving the Germans out of France
and Belgium, but experts predict
no appreciable advance can be
made until spring.
On the eastern front and in
Servia heavy fighting has con-
tinued every day. The German
army in Russian Poland has ham,
mered increasingly against the
Russian center. The fighting be-
/ tween Lowicz, the Vistula and the
left bank OF the Bzura, is des-
! cribed as being fierce. The Ger
mans, driving the Russians back
upon successive fortified positions
claim to have inflicted losses ol
$50, 900, including many prisoners,
and also the capture Of many guns.
Both sides have been alternately
on the offensive and defensive
The Germans, while apparently
meeting with strong resistance il
their advance against Warsaw
claim that the GermanAustriar
offensive is making the position o
the Russian main forces more ane
more untenable. Berlin reports
that farther north, the German
column which had advanced from
Soldau, East Prussia, by way o
Mlawa, in the direction of Czech
anow, has had to reoccupy its oil
positions owing to the numerica
superiority Of the enemy encoun
tered. The Russian reports CLAIM

front. Toward Cracow and tn
