Why Men Eat More Than Women.

Why Men Eat More Than Women.
That men eat five or six per cent
more than women-not because they
are gluttons, but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as a result of an inyestiga-
ton made in the nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and L. e.
Eames, says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have smaller proper
ton of active tissues than men OF
the same weight and more inactive
material, such as fat. The investiga-
ton disclosed that the average WON.
an generates only 1856 heat units In
the "a hours, as against 1858 pro-
dueed by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound Of
body weight. When groups we're COM
pared, after careful selection of indi-
viduals of nearly the same height and
weight, the men were found to pro
duce about IL per cent mora heat than
women.

mol soap. These are not at all expen-
sive. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with q
light bandage-if necessary to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.

wood dairy herds.
The experts will be chosen by Prof.
D. e. Willard, development agent of
the Northern Pacific, from among
those who have accompanied him
through several states this summer on
special demonstration trains run by
the company. Each man will be Sc
lected because of his special fitness
for the particular line of work he is
engaged in. There will be experts on
horses, cattle, swine and sheep, and
the program will occupy several hours
every day of the fair week, Sept. 13 to
18. A special tent will be erected
adjacent to the livestock departments,
and Prof. Willard will have charge OF
the demonstrations.
Stockmen and farmers are invited
| to ask questions about any subject

care and feeding of dairy cows, grow
ing of beef cattle for profit, the most
profitable breeds of farm animals
breeding up the herd, the feeding OF
calves, hog raising, farm feeds, silos
and silage. The Standardization OF
dairy products and the marketing oi
farm products will also be among the
subjects considered, and every farmer
attending the fair should make 1t g
point to attend these meetings, which
will be free to all.

Stung In A New Place

A man and a woman dropped
into a small town and put up at
the best hotel. The next morn
ing they secured a rig each, and
started over the country asking
the farmer folks for a chicken for
an orphans home in St. Louis.
After two days. begging they
sold the chickens to a local pro-
duce man for $50 and left town.
Their loot included several cash
donations.
A variation of the scheme is for
a man, wearing some sort of
badge, to call on the farmers un-
der the name of the Department
of Health and demand to see his
poultry. After examination he
condemns 20 or 80 hens and tells
the farmer they will have to be
killed because they are diseased.
He very kindly offers to take the
chickens and do the killing him.
self. If the farmer consents the
man takes the chickens to the
commission merchant and sells
them. The scheme is being
worked all over the country. II

a demand that looks suspicious,

ask by what right they are ask

A Champion Snake Killer

]. V. Nash, DR.. H. J. Smith
and Mark Robinson left Saturday
afternoon for the Rich Nash
ranch across Salmon river on a
short outing. The former went
for a short visit with his brother
and to look over a ranch he has
in that section, while the two last
named were out for birds or any
thing that looked like game in
season. Their success in the
bird line was Indifferent at best
and they bagged only a few
ancient members of the grouse
family that were almost toe
tough too cook. DR.. soon gave
up in disgust and went to hunt
ing rattlesnakes instead, with
the result that he cut short the
career of nine of the poisonous
reptiles within a few hours, one
or two of which were said to be
the largest ever seen in that
section. He found several OF
them in a tomato patch, which,
by the way, is queer place to
be hunting for snakes, and shot
the largest one under a vine
where he stopped to pick a ripe
tomato. This one was as large
as his arm and over three fee
in lenght but was so shot tt
pieces that its rattles could no
be found. Another and smaller
snake had twelve rattles which
DR.. brhught home to show tina
he could make good his story.

Grain Yields Beyond Belief

stories of big yields told that the
average reporter begins in fear
and trembling of the greatest
thing yet heard of in the inland
empire says the Idaho Post. A
few years ago when Mr.. North
cutt of Pullman grew 1O2 IA
bushels of wheat on single acre
it'was thought the limit had been
reached, and we have heard of
nothing since that surpasses that
wonderful yield.
But now comes along Albert
Feilke, who produces for our own
eyes to behold a stool of 24O heads
OF wheat grown from one kernel
of Little Club wheat. The bum
die of stocks measured about 20
inches around, and the 24O heads
averaged 60 grains to the head,
making 14,4O0 grains from one
seed. These facts are scarcely

A TRAIN

Seventeen Cars of Cattle and
Hogs Left Cottonwood this
Week-Formed Half of I'M
me Use Shipment.

One of the largest shipments OF
livestock that has left the prairie
country in many day 8 was taken
down the hill Tuesday when 80
cars of cattle and hogs were pulled
/ into Lewiston. Over half of the
shipment was sent out from Cot
t,nwood and strongly emphasizes
the Importance of this town as a
shipping point for the vast quan-
titles of livestock raised in CEN
tral Idaho. When the train pull
ed into the local yards on Tues
day morning it contained several
cars of fat hogs picked up at
/ Grangeville and Fem, and at
this place fourteen cars of cattle
and three of hogs were added,
making train of twenty-four
loaded cars to leave the local sta

4 line further shipments were add
ed until a train of 33 cars was
pulled into the yards at Lewis
ton.
The cattle shipped from this
place were purchased by Mr..
q Larson for Frye & Co. of Seattle
and came from the Joseph plains
section across Salmon river.
They numbered about 270 head
and the shipment was made up
as follows: Chas. H. Baird, 1OC
head; Jones & Platt, 116 head
Walter Lemons, Is head; D. F.
VanPool, Is head. The cattle
consisted of a choice lot of range
fattened steers and dry cows anC
the price paid for them was five
and six cents. We understand
that Frye & Co. have purchased
= about 1900 head of cattle in the
Salmon river country for ship
ment within the next couple Of
months, the larger part of which
will be loaded for shipment a

The Fool and Our Forest
Fires

Goodby to the fool with the empty gun;
Forgotten his bid for fame.
Though be kills his friend it only counts one
And that, nowadays, is tame.
The fool who playfully rocks the boat
Is on the front page more.
He may rank high with the fools ahoat
But his glory is gone ashore.
There's the fool with women, the fool with wine,
And the fool who games with strangers,
And the joy-ride fool Che does we'll in his line
BY combining these ancient dangers.)
But still they all down in the primer class,
Mere novces taking flyer,
Compared with the prize-taking criminal ass
The fool in the woods with fire.
A few hearts break for the deeds they've done
In their pitful amateur way,
But fire says dozens where they slay one
And scourges state in day.
For the ruined home and the smokeless stack
And the worker unemployed
Know hundred years shall never bring back
The things that his match DESTROYED
