And everybody calls him the Merchant

New Ruling of Fire Underwriters Will
Be Discussed

At the Chamber of Commerce lunch
con tomorrow, music will be furnish
ed by the University Faculty Quartette
and there will be brief discussions OF
a number of topics of interest and I'M
portance to the community:
Among other things that will come
up for discussion will be the new rul-
ing of the National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, re-establishing the three
quarter valuation clause in fire insur-
ance policies in the panhandle of Ida
ho 1t is felt that this is rank dis
elimination, at least SO far as Moscow
is concerned, and it's enforcement will
be strenuously opposed.
The attachment of the record war
ranty clause, for which the new ruling
provided, is also meeting with great
disfavor
1t is probable that the Chamber will
give some attention to the discussion
of needed legislation.

B0RAH NOT OUT
FOR PRESIDENCY
FRED r. DUBOISE SAYS SENATOR
BORAH DOES NOT ASPIRE TO

He Believes Wilson Will be Nominal
ted by the Democrats Without
Opposition

Fred T. Dubois, former United States
friends and acquaintances in various
parts of the state, and will take in the
San Francisco and San Diego fairs
before returning east.
Mr.. Dubois saw Senator Borah in
Washington recently, and relative to
Mr.. Borah's possible candidacy for the
presidency said to Statesman report
er recently, Senator Borah is not a
candidate for president, l can assure
Idaho people. No one understands
more than he does the fact chat he lives
in a small state, and therefore is SER
iously handicapped geographically.
Senator Borah perhaps magnifies these
drawbacks; at any rate, he does not
take at all seriously the mention of
his name in connection with the pres
idency. 1t should be gratifying, how
ever, to Idaho people, regardless of
politics, that he Is most seriously con-
sidered whenever canvass is made of
the most suitable material for the re-
publican nomination.
President Wilson will be nomina
ted by the democrats without opposi-
ton. Speaker Clark is not and will
not be candidate. I think that while
lean say to other Idaho people that
Senator Borah has no intention of be-
coming candidate to oppose Presi-
lent Wilson, there is tremendously
strong and widespread sentiment in

Summer Suggestions
For Baby s Mother
SeGsOnGble Advice on The
Health of Children in d.
Hot Weather

No one requires as much food in
Summer as in winter. DO not over
feed children during the hot weather.
Serve only the lighter and more easily
digested foods. and make sure the
bowels keep normally active.
Most OF the trouble to which chill
dren seem particularly susceptible in
summer have their origin i'm a con
stipated condition The first care of
the mother should be to see that the
children are regular. At the first
sign of a disposition to neglect this
important function a milde laxative
should be administered promptly.
Cathartics and purgatives should
never be given to children as they
are harsh and violent i'm their action
and tend TO upset the entire system.
The combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores
under the name Of Dr. CaldweTs
Syrup Pepsin, is now very generally
used to correct stomach and bowel
trouble and is especially adapted for
children, being pleasant to the taste.
