forty and sixty. The use of tobacco
has much to do with causing the
disease; the other principal cause Is
too much heavy food.
1t is as important TO know how to
prepare food SO that 1t will do the
body the most good as 1t Is to prepare
soil for good crops; 1t Is as Important
to know how to feed people as to feed
pigs. Yet the government every year
spends millions In determining what
is good for land and what Is good for
pigs, but not one cent to learn how
to feed people.
1t is not how much food we eat,
but how much we digest and use up.
Overeating means underdIResting.

More sensational disclosures at
Boise have been followed by ar
rest of prominent state officials
and former officials, all growing
out of the Allen defalcations in the
state treasury.
Early last Saturday evening
Fred L. Huston, state auditor,
was arrested on a bench warrant
issued upon an indictment re-
turned by the grand jury. The
charge briefly, is misuse of public
funds.
There is no accusation that Mr..
Huston or anyone else prohted in
the transaction which caused his
indictment. The charge is tech
nical one, that he failed to follow
the provisions of the law which is
interpreted as segregating the
funds for the various classes OF
administration.
An investigation into the &C
counts of the state dairy, food and
sanitary department brought the
Huston indictment, and two in
dictments were returned against
lanes H. Wallis, former commits
sioner, and the sheriff went to Salt
Lake, arrested Wallis brought him
to Boise and placed him in Jail.
Approval of claim against the
travelling expense fund of the
dairy, food and sanitary depart
ment, the proceeds of which were
used to pay the salary of w. H..
Harrison, one of the deputies
under Mr.. Wallis, is understood
to have been the exact o1ense
charged. When the appropriation
was made by the 1913 legislature
it was divided into three funds,
one for maintenance of the Office,
one for salaries and one for travel
ing expenses. The grand jury
concurs in the opinion of Prose,
cutting Attorney Givens that these
funds must be kept separate.
Huston was able to secure bonds
of $4,000.
The report of Axel P. Ramstedt,
special examiner, of conditions II

has been known for sometime that
the work of preparing diplomatic
representations on this subject was
under way, but the strong tone and
plain language employed have sur
prised-and delighted-supporters as
we'll as critics of the foreign policy of
the administration. 1t has come as
a great relief to the members of con-
gress who have been trying to explain
to their indignant constituents whose
shipments were held up or interfered
with by British cruisers why nothing
was being done In response to their
complaints. Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, whose state has been especially
hard hit by the practical stoppage Of
the copper trade with neutral coun-
tries, expressed the prevailing view OF
England's motives when he called
attention to the fact that her course
was giving British concerns an over,
whelmlng advantage in competing
for the trade heretofore in the hands
uf the neutrals.
Fighting Over Jobs The most
harmless thing the senate can do is
to fight with the president over jobs.
Or course the results may be disap-
pointing to the fellows who are not
confirmed, but that is negligible
consequence. The president is follow
ing the plan of his predecessors,
Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft. in max
ing recess ppointments, thereby
keeping some Of his friends 10 office.
The senate proposes TO investigate
this method of cheating them to 1t" !"
and a committee has been appointed
| to look into the matter.
Western Railroads To Be Heard
No doubt the western railroads have
been greatly encouraged by the sue
cess of the eastern roads in getting
an increase in rates, and they have
arranged with the Interstate COM
merce commission TO give them a
hearing Of their grievances, and the
matter will be taken up in Chicago
next month. The petition from the
western roads differs from that OF the
easterners in that t does not ask fol
a horizontal raise, but increases based
upon traffic conditions and upon the
movement of individual classes and
commodities. This is alleged tt
amount to from two to three pc
cent in some cases to as high al
, twenty-five per cent in other lnstan
ces. The petitions will be vigorousl,
! contested by many of the western
t states. These railroad rate hearing
( are important beyond the mere fac
S that they are the basis of a readjust
ment of rates, as they demonstrat

settlement of such matters. Former

that the president appoints 1000
, officials "by and with the advice an
