IF 1 KNEW YOU
AND YOU KNEW ME-

The Tribune is in receipt OF the fol-
lowing short poem, with the compli-
ments of the season from Mr.. John
K. White, state sanitary Inspector.
The little poem very charmingly ex-
presses the sentiment of the season,
If l knew you, and you knew me,
It's seldom we would disagree
But, never having yet clasped hands,
Both often fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right
And treat each other "honor bright"
How little to complain there'd be,
If l knew you and you knew me,
Then let no doubling thoughts chide,
OF firm good faith on either side;
Confidence in each other give
Living ourselves, let others live.
But any time you come this way
That you will call we hope and pray,
Then face to face, we each shall sec,
Then I'll know you and you'll know
me,

SILLY CRIMINAL LAWS.

Perhaps no phenomenon of modern
life is more marked than the prevail
ent mania for penal regulation of the
petty details of conduct. There seems
to be no human action that somebody
does not want to prohibit. With the
incorporate opponents of temperance
we have become familiar; the cohorts
of Cotton Mather have reincarnated
in Sunday observance leagues. But
around these central figures of sump-
tuary legislation circles a host OF
mind meddling Prohibitionists I'M
der penalty of fine and Imprisonment,
of the use in hotels of bed sheets less
than a statutory length, and of the
use of cracked china in like institu-
tions are but samples of the absurdi-
ties that have already found their
way on the statute books. And the
craze grows apace. Among the bills
reported as introduced in various as
semblies are those prohibiting the ex-
hibition by any merchant of a clock
which is too fast or too slow, and OF
the use of face lotions by any wo-
man under 40 years of age. A recent
bill makes it a penitentiary offense
for a man to put his feet on his desk

while debating to a woman steno-
grapher. And it is rather more than
a joke. Thoughtful people complain
of the growing disrespect of law.
Who could avoid disrespect between
wise laws and foolish when both are
of equal authority? And the mischief
does not stop there. With the multi
plication of trivial crimes involving
no moral turpitude arrests inevitably
increase. 1t is said by an investiga-
tor of repute that of the $4,000 peo-
pie arrested in Chicago in 1914, over
half were charged with committing
crimes which were unknown in 1894,
Now every unnecessary arrest is an
unmixed evil. Every time that a re-
putable man or boy is arrested, hailed
through the streets and thrust into a
police cell, his self-respect suffers an
injury that makes him a worse citizen.
Will the refined woman who is treat
ed as common criminal. as in one
state she may be, because her hatpin
projects more than half an inch be-
yond the crown of her hat, ever re-
cover from the shame of it? 1t is
about time the robust common sense
of the American people put a sum-
mary stop to this 'verboten" nom
sense.-Law Notes.

In the light of DR.. Abel's brillian,
work these old remedies take on a
new meaning. Abel studied the giant
tropical toad, Bufo aqua, found in the
upper Amazon. The natives of that
section of Brazil make an arrow poi
son from the creamy secretion of the
skin glands, poison so powerful that
it kills big game in few moments.
From this secretion Abel isolated
adrenalin, a blood-pressure-raising
medicine invaluable to the specialist
and surgeon. Previously this sub
stance had been extracted from the
suprarenal glands of the OK or sheep
and later had been synthesiZed in the
the laboratory from coal tar and it
was found to be nothing more than
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ben
zene.
But the most valuable and startl-
ing part of DR.. Abel's work with this
toad secretion was the isolation of a
beautiful crystalline substance to
which toadskin owes its curative
powers for dropsy. This he named
"bufagin," and the most active investi-
CATION of its properties is now in pro-
gress. 1t seems strange that after a
century's ridicule of a toad treatment
for dropsy as a mere grandmother
remedy, we should now find a genuln-
ely scientific confirmation of the prac-
tice. 1t may be objected that all
varieties of toads do not give the
same secretion as the giant toad from
the Amazon, but it has only recently
been found that another crystalline
substance, bufotalin, of very similar
properties to the bufagin, is found In
the skin of the common European
toad.

Sanitation of the School House.

The community assumes a serious
responsibility when it takes the child
away from the woods and fields and
shuts it up for the better part of the
fall and winter and spring days in the
large box which he call a schoolhouse,
The least we can do as citizens is to
see that the conditions under which
we keep the child in this artificial en-
vironment are made as little harmful
as possible.
The first and one of the most i'm
portant ways in which the health oil
the school child is often menaced is
by overheating and underventilating
If the temperature of the classroom is
over 70 degrees one may be quite SURE
that efficiency in school work is being
decreased and health impaired. 1t is
the child who goes out from an over
heated schoolroom into the chill win
ter air that suffers from colds and
bronchitis and more serious respira-
tory diseases.
Every schoolroom should be equip
ped with definite provisions for ad-
hitting fresh air by means of a pack
eted stove, window board or some
other method. There should be a
thermometer, in repair, in every class
room, and when it passes seventy de-
gress something should be done at
once to admit fresh aid and cool of.
The light. in the classroom IS an
other important factor in the health
of the school child. Many a case or
defective vision is due to eye strain
from trying to study in dim light or
to the effect of direct glare, which
may be equally harmful. The area
OF glass in windows should be at least
one-ffth the floor area of the room
and the light should come from the
left side of the pupils and from the
other wall of the classroom. On
bright days the glare should be con-
trolled by shades.
Above all, the children should be
guarded from conditions which favor
the spread of communicable disease.
The toilet facilities should be care
fully supervised. All toilets should be
we'll lighted and kept clean and out
door closets so tightly built that in
lection cannot be washed into the
we'll or spread about on the surface
of the ground or carried about by
flies and other insects.
Ample facilities should be provided
so that the children may wash their
hands before eating, since uncIean
hands play an important part in the
spread of disease germs. The COM
mon towel and the common drinking
cup are sources of great danger and
should be strictly prohibited.
The water supply of the school
should, of course, be protected against
pollution so as to be above suspicion.
How are these essentials of santa
ton provided for in the school where
your children are to spend their days
during the coming winter?

WARMING AGAINST IN.
FERIOR STOCK
FROM OREGON
Caldwell, Idaho, Dec. 20, 1915.

Caldwell, Idaho, Dec. 20, 1915.
During the past year large num-
bers of calves have been shipped in
to Idaho from Tillamook, Oregon. In
a good many cases these calves have
who bought them, for the following,
and possibly other reasons: Most of
the calves have been shipped too
young and have been upset by the
trip, change of climate and altitude
and the lack of the colostrum of first
milk; many of them have not come
up to specifications with respect to
breed; there are no beef herds about
Tillamook and yet dealers have been
supplying hundreds of Durham
calves from the grade dairy herds, to
great extent the calves which have
been shipped into Idaho are sired by
very inferior bulls and are not con-
sidered worth raising in Tillamook
most of such would be killed if they
could not be sold, and they sell for
only $lO0 to $3.50 per head on the
farms where they are produced. Many
Tillamook dairymen do not raise any
calves and so do not keep good sires,
preferring to buy good heifers to
keep up their herds.
| do not want anyone to get the i'm,
preston, however, that there is not
good stock in Tillamook county, for
there is, and plenty of it, but it is not
being given away. The local demand
is strong and there are many out
side bidders. l only want to caution
against the importation of inferior
grades of stock, especially for breed
ing purposes, as they are certain to
prove Improbable. There is already
surplus of such in the Boise valley
In this connection, attention is call
ed to a cooperative calf selling as
sociation, which has been organized in
Tillamook county. The idea is Who'll
ly practical and has been promoted
| by reliable men, some of whom |
know personally. These men realize
the harm that has been done to the
calf selling industry by INSCRIPTIONS
dealers and they are anxious to undo
this harm and establish the business
on fair basis.

following account of the plans of the

county, and will be glad to answer all
inquiries regarding the association.

OUR PLAYFUL CENSORS.

Sometimes we are conviced that
some of the state movie censors arc
not really censors at all but kid
ders." They like to have their little
joke, it appears, and laugh silently
in their sleeves at our discontinue.
If this is not the case, how can we ac-
count for some of the senseless cen
soring they have been doing. Some
of them the other day took a whack
at one Mr.. William Shapespeare, who
was an English writer of verses, al
though it is said that Germany claims
him for her own. In one play called
Romeo and Juliet" Mr.. Shakespeare
is said to have several scenes, which,
probably, the very young would not
understand. Therefore the censors
ordered these scenes in the films cut
out, evidently taking it for granted
that what the very young woman
would not understand, the older per-
sons had no right to see. The same
excellent reasoning would apply to
the Bible and a great many of the
classics, to say nothing of some Won
derful pictures and works of art. Some
other censors also ordered in a re-
cent film a scene cut out which show
ed "close up" of dead body, and
another scene showing corpses being
slidden into the grave. AS these were
war pictures, there can be nothing
particularly demoralizing in showing
the horrible effects of war. We won
der just how far these censors will
CO.. 1t is a strange trait of human ma
ture that when a man becomes by law
a censor of public morals, or assumes
that power to himself, he Immediately
eversteps the bounds and becomes a
public nuisance. ~

The Tillamook Cooperative Stool
Market

The story of cooperative manu-
featuring and marketing of dairy pro-
ducts in Tillamook is an old one, and
much credit is due to the management
of those enterprises for their high de-
gree of success. OF the % cheese
factories in the county Fl are CO.
operative and 20 belong to the as
ISOLATION which ipspects the product.
This system of inspection and instruc-
ton has done a great deal towards
standardizing the product of the diff
ferent factories, until now there is
very little difference in the cheese
from any of the factories of the
country. One selling agent sells all
the product from these 20 factories
and thereby simplihes greatly the
marketing of the product.
The beauty of it all is that the
farmer gets the greatest possible re-
turns for his product, and the con-
sumner gets a uniform high grade or
cheese.
The Tillamook Cooperative Stock
Market was organized here this fall
with the very same objects in view
as supplied to the livestock of the
county. In the last few years the
shipping of baby calves from the
county has become quite an industry'
This will be the first grade of stock
handled by the market. The rules of
the market require that all calves
shall be fed the colostrum milk I'M.
til they are four days old. None but.
healthy calves will be accepted by the
market. So far as possible these.
calves will be accompanied by re-
cord of their breeding, and produc-.
ton records Of their dams. Every,
calf will be ear-tagged when received
SO that it can be traced back to the
producer if necessary. When the
calf is sold the actual cost of sale is
deducted from the proceeds and the
balance paid to the producer.
1t is the aim of the market to give
all customers the best stock and SER
vice possible for their trade is wanted
year after year. AT the same time,
the producer will get larger pro-
portion of the customers dollar

ENGLISH VIEW,

The London Observer in the follow
Ing editorial reflects the English view
point relative to the futilty Of United
States entering the war:
no one who thinks calmly and
clearly will feel anything but sympa
thy with the government and people
of the United States in the situation
produced for them by the sinking OF
the Lusitania. American citizens
have been killed, wantonly and DELHI
erately, and in defiance OF all inter
national law, in the exercise of theil
undoulbted right to travel across the
ocean as they please. If, we being
neutrals, a similar outrage had been
committed upon us, a tempest of fury
would have swept from end to end Of
the land. But the course which the
American people can follow is 10y nc
means clear, and the obstacles in Mr.
Wilson's path are SO many and SO
dangerous that no one can fairly &C

that, because the American people
have not flown to arms to vindicate
the cause OF public law and humanity,
they have taken no worthy part in
the struggle. We can never be sutii'
