TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Senator Tillman, whose obituary no.
tees were in type in many Newspaper
offices several years ago, has regain
ed his health by physical culture, and
is now able to WELD the pitchfork in
old time form. Chauncey Depew,
former senator and after dinner ora
tor, modified his menu and is young
in his old age. John d. Rockefeller
has gadded the golf links until he has
banished bum stomach, although
failing to grow hair on a bald head,
and seems equal to the strenuous
task of clipping coupons for some time
to come, Old Sam Blythe substituted
dumbells for drinks as stimulus and
has regained the figure and health Of
youth, and ex-President Taft is feel
ing fine since he quit taking care of
this country and Mexico, and began
taking care Of himself. The moral of
all this being that every man should
be his own doctor, and try to take
as good care of himself as he would

FOR COUNTY TREASURER.

In II. G. Gardner, Republican nomi
nee for county treasurer, Canyon
county has an opportunity to elect q
clean-cut, thorough business man.
Mr.. Gardner's home is at Fruit
land, where he stands high in the esti-
nation of his neighbors and enjoys
their utmost confidence. His reputa-
ton for business ability and honesty
is unimpeachable. More than that, he
is a thorough gentleman, courteous,
agreeable, pleasing personality-a
marked contrast to the present in
cumbent.
Being resident taxpayer of the
Payette valley, he should receive the
united support of the entire valley,
and because of his fitness for the Of
flee should receive big vote in other
portions Of the county.

NOT A DOLLAR LOST.

A few land board facts:
/. That the Republican state land
board is assisting the farmers of this
state by loaning them nearly 3 mil
lion dollars at per cent interest
2. That these loans are earning
the state of Idaho approximately
100000 PER year, which goes to the
support Of our common schools and
public institutions.
3. That the state of Idaho has
never lost single dollar by reason
of these loans.
a. That in the few instances where
the state has been compelled to fore
close the land has been resold at a
profit of more than $4,000 to the
state of Idaho.
.. That there is no loaning COM
pany in the world but that makes an
occasional bad loan, but the state of
Idaho, doing business of 3 million
dollars, has not lost a single dollar
and on the other hand is $4,000 to
the good.

THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.

said, before it would be world beat
err. Thereupon he made two bets that
he would finish in the first four "and
then went down to the bench to rave
another afternoon and keep his club
fighting against almost hopeless
odds"
The big thing about Stallings was
that he never quit fighting. Even
when the outlook was darkest he was
full of confidence, AID he never let
his men quit for minute. And pref
ty soon conditions changed snd his
club came with rush that carried it
into first place, beating down the Gil

three years.
That is the SORT of spirit that has

PAYING THE PIPER.

The Portland 0regonian says;
"Here now we are to have a war tax
with no war. The emergency that
confronts the American people is due
in no way to any act by them; but
not so much can be said for JON
gress.
"If congress had observed the
pledges of economy and retrenchment
upon which it was elected, the war
tax would not be necessary But con-
gress at this session has made appro-
priations of all kinds appropriating
s1,l00, 900 ,000-the largest in history
and the end is not yet. The ordin-
airy expenses of government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1914, were
II million dollars greater than in any
previous year.
when the people of the United
States find themselves pinched here
and there, in their industrial activi-
ties, in their pastimes, and in their
business by an exacting government,
to pay taxes that by ordinary pru-
dence could well have been avoided,
they will realize more keenly than
ever what Democratic ineffeiency is
doing for them"
And yet the people of this state
are being urged to send more Demo-
cratic congressman and senator to
add to the present wasteful admins
tration.

Apply sloan's Freely for Lumbago.

Your attacks of lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's lini-
ment on the back and loins. Lumbago
is form of rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, tender
muscles, limbers up the back and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment for % cents of any
druggist and have it in the house
against colds, sore and swollen joints,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and
like ailments. Your money back if not
satisfied, but it does give almost in
slant relief.

King Belshazzar's queen came to him

place because of his excellent under

truth in dreams. Let him be brought,
if it seems good to thee"
Then they brought Daniel, prophet
of the most high God, lean, dark
man of the captivity of Judah, known
of old time but latterly forgotten. The
shaking king offered him scarlet robes
and the gold chain of rulership to
read the words. A hush was on the
hall.

the prophet gravely, "and thy re-

. ELSHAZZAR, King of the
Chaldeans, made a great feast
IL in his house in Babylon. A

i thousand of his lords were
them and they laughed together,
thinking themselves as gods without
shadow and without care In them
was gathered up all pomp and power;
for them the choicest grapes were
plucked and pressed; for them the
sun shone and the rains were given.
And when they had drained many
bowls, the king bethought him of
trove forgotten, and sent servants to
fetch the golden vessels, chalices and
bowls that had been in the temple
of God in Jerusalem. These things
Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had car
ried off when he brought fettered Is
rael to Babylon.
They poured out wine into the gold
en- bowls; they passed them from hand
to hand with many laugh. Belshaz-
Ear drank wine from the vessels of the .
temple of God, and his lords and the |
soft, silken women. Together they
praised the gods of silver and the
gods of gold that stared unseeing
there in the great hall.
The king lay back, magnificent and
wholly satisfied; all this was his. He
smiled, gravely benignant as becomes
a king. Many rotations could not
make him forget that. A big-boned
man, for all his softness of flesh;
