 Gentlemen--You Vitalitas has done for me what the best doctors I could find. travel and change of climate failed to do. From 1875 to 1903 I was engaged under ground in the lead and zinc regions of Missouri and had to be under the ground in the gig room in the ore mills so much that I con tracted what is known as miners con sumption which caused an abscess to form on my lungs in 1903. My case was pronounced hopeless by five good doctors, but I finally got able to travel and have been going from climate to climate, a physical wreck ever since, until I commenced taking Vitalitas. have now taken two bottles of Vital itas and I feel better and weigh moro than l have for 25 years and am free from aches and pains for the first time in many years. I do not know that l am perfectly cured, but l do know that I would not take s50.000 for what Vii talitas has done for me already. Very respectfully,
 (Signed) "J. c. CLARK.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Defending the Administration

Ao thS i-uitpI or The ASe-Heralu.
 However careful an individual or a government may be, they cant avoid the slanderous tongue of the calmuniator. Never in the history of America have we had in our administration two more conservative, more careful, nor more competent servants than Wilson and Bry- an. In the faithful discharge of their duties they are inyincible. yet conscien- tious in all they do, looking to the better mentor the conditions of all peoples, with peace and good will in all things. Weigh them If you will in the finest scales and you will not find them want. ing Yet there have been 19 specific charges against them for neglect of duty or too careful, as it may be, in the dis charge of their duty, in allowing other nations too much sway on American soil They are accused outright in being recreant in their duty as neutral ma tion, in dealing with beligerent nations and never were charges more concisely and yet more forcibly and more clearly answered. And surely to the satisfaction of every patriotic, right thinking Amer ican citizen.
 Uncle Sam is too busy to barley with
 
 There may be some who make out like they would not object to a scrap. If SO let them straddle mule and ride oveI about Antwerp and just before they get there let them take the first right hand road just two miles outside of Antwerp and ride on down, until they get to the bend of the river Aisne, or down about Alsace, and when they get there, give @ shrill whistle, or war whoop, and if they don't get up scrap. let them return and report at headquarters.
 In conclusion, I will say when Uncle Sam toots his horn, and cries ito arms, to arms" braver little nation never donned a uniform, nor unsheathed sword thar we will see here in our mighty phalanx, ready for their countrys command. But that is not our purpose now, nor our present mission. The whole world Is looking upon us, and depending upon 'us for aid, and for peace. In this they have imposed the highest trust, in the gift | of the world, and in this we must be loya to the end. As in God we trust. Re. ! spectfully submitted, c. c.

SAYS POLAR STORIES IF COOK AND PEARY
 WERE 4DOCTORED"
Stenographer Testifies in Inquiry to Establish Pri- ority of Discovery of
 the North Pole

Washington, January 2S-Miss Lillian F. Kiel of New York, who said she twas a stenographer employed by a mag Fazine which printed articles under the names of Rear Admiral Peary and Dr. Cook on their return from the Arctic regions, testified tonight before the House committee on education that the articles were not written in their entirety by the explorers whose names they bore, but that they were rearranged in the magazine office.
 Miss Kie was one of a number of witnesses who testified in connection with the resolution of Representative Smith of New York, designed to establish the priority of the discovery of the north pole.
 Miss Kiel said she took the dictation of Dr. Cooks statement. She said that after he received proofs and had o. k. q them, a sub-editor of the magazine clipped the proofs, eliminated certain para graphs and inserted others. the result being, she said. that the story indicated a confess sion of failure.
 She said that Admiral Peary's story first was obtained by questions asked by a reporter, that woman transcribed the notes and wrote the story. The ad- miral. she said had a contract or an agreement of some sort under which the magazine was not to print anything detri- mental to him.
 Tn other words asked Representative Towner of Iowa, this particular state ment called Dr. Cooks story, is partly his statement and partly manufactured story that was inserted?'
 'Yes, sir.'
 ''The magazine did not find Dr. Cook s story sufficiently exciting and sensational to suit them?''
 They were under contract with MT. Peary not to print what would be detri- mental to MT. Peary," Miss Kiel re- piled.

Not Opposed to Serum
litor of Te Agc-Herald.

To the Editor of Te Agc-Herald.
 Since you published my letter some days past, l have had several letters from peo- pie in different sections of the state and everyone of them seems to think that l am absolutely against serum as a preven- tive of hog cholera.
 Will say that I most assuredly am not, and the object of my letter was to boost up the raising of hogs as there has been so much talk of cholera that people are beginning to get afraid to attempt raising any hogs at all.
 It would be a good thing if we could get the serum, but there is no reason why we should just sit down and make no attempt whatever at hog raising, fol it may be long time before a serum plant is erected at Auburn However hope it won't, and for my part will say that l am going to continue to rais, hogs, and more of them. along the lines wrote about in my previous letter.

SULLIVAN DENIES
 CHARGES OF WICK
Brings Counter Charges Against Latter-Has No
 Apologies to Make

New York. January 2S.-A statement from James NJ Sullivan, American min ister to the Dominican republic, denying all the charges of unfitness made against him, chiefly by Walker W. Wick, former receiver general of Santo Domingo cus- toms. was read today at the hearing into the charges before senHor-elect Phelan.
 The statement was supported by docu- mentary evidence and made counter charges against Wick. Sullivan declared paper campaign of attack by Vick and said certain newspapers in the United States had "championed the cause of as audacious gang of pirates as ever sailed the Caribbean"
 Sullivan said he had no apology to make for recommending as the depository for the reeeiyership funds the Banco Nacional, which Vick charged was an untrustworthy institution and which had been accused of seeking the appointment of Sullivan in order to exploit the island.
 'If Wick was unwilling to make the change, he scarcely would have acted on my recommendation, wrote the minister. "The fact is that the desire to make further change was born in Vick some months later for reasons best known to himself, and in the campaign he then opened on the Banco Nacional there was no interference from me until I learned of Nick's determination to turn the busi- ness over from an American to a British corporation (Royal Bank of Canada) whereupon I simply notified the state de- partment to note the significance of the change. This notification prevented Wick from carrying out his purpose and the depository was returned to the original banker from which it was first taken, who was the lowest bidder in the pro- posals made in answer to Mir. Vick's ad- .vertisement

Disbursements Added
 The estimates sent to Congress in De- cember aggregated SIC, ,0O0oo0, to which S,000,0O0 was to be added for Panama canal disbursements. Some additional es- inmates have been sent in since, however, and substantial additions have been made by House committees in drafting the supply bills. Secretary McAdoo's esti- mate of revenues exclusive of the post office department was SIPS, ,000000. This in- cluded $220,00o,0 900 from customs, $3o5, 900, . 000 from ordinary internal revenue, s54,- 100000 from the war tax, and $50 600 900 from the income and corporation tax.
 In a statement on the White House con- ference which Majority Leader Under wood and Chairman Fitzg gerald of the House appropriations committee attended, MT. McAdoo said:
 ''srhe conclusion was reached that no &C., ton is necessary now, as we shall know better at the end of the fiscal year 1915 what the effects of the European war will be and what, if anything, is necessary to be done.
 Since the new tariff and income law June of each fiscal year the payment into the treasury of s75,0OO,000 to ss0,OoO,00O in corporation and personal income tax. Previous to that time almost the total receipts of the government were reflected in the revenues collected daily and shown in the daily treasury statement. In June, 1915, almost the entire amount of the corporation and personal income tax will be paid, just as in 1914, and what appears to be a loss in revenue in the meantime will be overcome"

Supports Contention

In support of Secretary McAdoo's s state- ment officials pointed out, there still was every reason to believe the var tax would produce, at least as much as originally was expected from it. Available figures up to December show that 6O0O00, GOO rev enue stamps have been s"'d throughout the country. During the entire year 1899. when the Spanish-American war tax was effective, the number of stamps sold was only 16,050,000.
 Secretary McAdoo's estimate for cus- toms receipts for the Coming year, s22O, GOO, ,ooo is about $72,0o0,OO0 under the re- ceipts for the fiscal year 1914. Receipts from that source so far this fiscal year are about $l22, ,0O0, 900.

1.-THE FAMILY STAIN"
At the Isis Theatre Thursday and Fri.
day of This Week.

No more strange or thrilling story
was ever written than "The Family
STAIN" adapted from 1.-THE Widow Lee
rouge" and produced by William Fox.
1t is mystery story of far more than
usual interest. In this story Emile
Gaboriau gives greater play to his
fantastic mind than in any other story
he has ever written.
The leading role of the production
is in the hands of Frederick Perry,
who was recently seen in Salt Lake
in "On Trial"
Mr. Perry gives to the screen pro-
duction all the dramatic intensity of
which he is capable, and the resultant
photo-drama is an exceptional offer.
"The Family Stain" will be the fea-
ture attraction of the week at the
Isis.
The Fox Features are being played
in all the leading theatres throughout
the country and many of them are
playing return dates.

MYSTERY IN GARDEN HOSE
idaho Falls Comes to the Front With
New One.

A hose in the ground is a queer
thing to cause mystery and yet this
has excited no small amount of COM
ment in this city for the last two days.
Harry Macknight, who lives at 400
Water avenue, went to take rubber
hose Sunday to put it in the shed for
the winter. The hose had been coiled
up for the past two weeks and had not
been touched. When he picked it up
he found that one end of it was stuck
into the hard earth. He pulled on the
hose to get it out of the ground but
had no success and finally got shovel
to dig 1t out. He dug down about four
feet and the hose was still in the
ground. When the hose was measured
it was found that eight or ten feet was
missing and evidently in the g1around.
The ground around the hose where it
lay coiled up was solid and the hole
where it entered the ground is only as
large as the hose and the ground on
every side is solid. There was only
very small quantity of loose earth on
the top of the ground which looked
like small ant hill. Many people
have seen the strange phenomenon but
no person has yet been able to explain
1t. Several persons have volunteered to
dig the hose out and this afternoon an
attempt will be made to find out what
is pulling it into the ground. All at
tempts to pull the hose have failed
and queer fact is that it is still go
ing into the ground at a rate of about
two inches every twenty-four hours.
The course of the hose was straight
down for about two feet and then
veered off at a slight angle. The
mystery is hard to explain from the
fact that it is evident that no hole has
been dug for the hose and the great
depth which it has attained Idaho
