Ogden Turns on Boise.

Just how the trick of ousting Boise
was put across at the Butte meeting
Monday has come to light. Evans made
a hard but losing fight for his club
Relf, the Salt Lake magnate, stood
with him. In fact, Salt Lake seems to
have been the friend of Boise through
out the meeting. After it was decided
to drop Murray some other club had TO
go. Relf urged that Helena be cut off,
II was then that Larry Duggan, the
Butte magnate, laid the ultimatum be-
fore the directors to either keep Helena
or lose Butte In other words, Mr.,
Duggan made 1t plain that If Helena
was cut off Butte would withdraw.
Al this stage of the proceedings ogden

One Way to Starve.

An unusually exhaustive investigation into the
condition OF the poor of New York City is now
being conducted by Dr. Donald B. Armstrong. direc-
tor of the department of social welfare of the AsSo-
citation for the Improvement of the Condition of the
Poor, with the cooperation OF the chemistry de-
partment of Columbia University, and the depart
ment of health Some startling facts have been I'm
earthed and astonishing discoveries have been
made Among the latter is the revelation that in a
great mai ority of the deaths credited to starvation
the absolute deprivation of food is not the direct
cause
Ignorance of food values, it is now declared, is
responsible for of the Of starvation which
appear in the death reports OF great cities In almost
every instance the investigators claim, fatal issue
might have been avoided by the most elementary
knowledge of food nutrients. Actual experiment has
demonstrated that a tablespoonful of flour a day,
eaten uncooked. will sustain life indefinitely The
records OF the civil show that a tablespoonful
OF wheat flour and dozen grains of corn constituted
the daily rations of certain of the Confederate SOL
diers for considerable periods and even while they
were being subec 10 the exhausting fatigue OF

According to DR.. Armstrong and his fellow in
vestgators the starvation and near-starvaton, which
occur with altogether too frequent repetition in
the poorer quarters of New York City. are due
almost entirely the lack of something which should
be in the possession of everybody rich and poor-a
proper knowledge of food values. 1t should be
prescribed study in the public Schools and no one
should be without the opportunity acquire work
ing knowledge OF il.
There is evidently great moral principle involved
in this matter If the Submerged" denizens of our
great cities are subiectng themselves to the demon
of starvation on account of their ignorance of some

Opinion is unanimous that the war in Europe will
bring to this country period OF phenomenal pros
perity but listen to what David Lloyd George chan
ceOr OF the cNchequer, said in Parliament concern
ing its effects in the more distant future:
Immediately after war there must be a period of
reconstructon-not merely here but in Europe where
enormous demands will be made on the manufactur-
ing resources OF the country. During the war and
during the period of reconstruction there will be prac-
ucaly competition in the neutral markets of the
world, except from America. and think we can look
forward to something like four or five years in which
industries will have artificial stimulus which

enormous and complete oRiterstion of wealth and

industrial skies that have been lowery ever since
midsummer are clearing. Confidence and hope are

the fact remains that the tariff is operating far

way to build up foreign trade is to buy from for

have something to sell to that want and if we
buy their goods from them can sell to them the
goods that manufacture and that they want.
Hence, the operation will be mutually advantageous
All this theory is indsputabe, but factor in the
equation is left out This is, that the trade will not
be mutually advantageous when the things that for
