Character Of Amberorl,,

Ambergris, which is used as basis
for much standard perfumery, was first
found, an unattractive mass, floating
on the sea or lodged upon the shore.
How so unlikely substance ever sug.
gested itself as perfume is not
known, but it has been in use for cen.
turtles. It is believed by some to be
the morbid secretion of the liver of a
sperm whale. It is described as fatty
waxy substance, disagreeable to sight
and touch, but even in it's crude state
exhaling pleasant odor. The crude
substance is subjected to chemical &C.

One Can't "Fear" piseaae on ssl,

One Can't "Fear" Disease on Self,
THE belief that disease may be
brought on by merely fearing that one
may contract II is curious relic of
barbarism," says Dr. H. W. Hill Of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
You cannot fear a disease on your.
self any more than you can wish a
disease on anyone else.
THE infectious diseases are due to
forces, germs, wholly distinct from
ourselves. The fear Of smallpox could
never bring smallpox germ to the
body any more than mental defiance
OF it could prevent it's growing once It
was in. The germ is as real particle
OF matter as mountain, and not a
bit more susceptible to hypnotism BY
the human mind"

that would even compare with the
North Side tract, when the price OF

BeautifyinQ the Inn.

Manager j. K. Williams OF the
North Side Inn, turned the interior
or the house over to d prominent
decorator from Boise a week or SO
ago, and the result is that the in
terror OF this popular hostelry pre-
sents much more inviting appear
ance than formerly. The decorator
was given free reign and commence
Ing at the garnet, he will not finish
until he reaches the basement.
The dining room and office have
all been done in fresco work, the
walls and ceilings being decorated
with beautiful patterns OF vines,
etc, the various colors blending in
perfect harmony, showing the work
or master hand. The Office proper
has been entirely re-arranged, and
large mirror covering the entire
rear wall has been placed in posi-
ton there. The dining room with
its mellow lights and beautiful deco
rations should serve to create an ap-
petite for the many good things
that are set before the guests.
Whaf has been needed for some
time az this hotel is a sample room
wherein the commercial traveller
could display his samples to a good
advantage. Mr.. Williams has now
arranged for this in fitting up a
large room In the basement of the
hotel, which is commodious and we'll
lighted, and place where the trav-
cling man can take pleasure In dis
playing his goods to good advantage
The upper floors of the hotel are
also being carefully looked after by
the decorator, and when the work is
all completed we have no hesitancy
in saying that Jerome will have one

Telephone Changes.

Some changes have been made in
the telephone service in this vicinity
the past week. Mr.. Chas. J. Wat
rous, who has been the local manager
here for almost year. is transferred
TO Payette, where he is given more
substantial position with the same
company. The vacancy caused by
his removal from here will be filled
by Mr.. Jens Johnson, formerly man
ager of the HALEY office. The office
at Gooding will hereafter come under
the same management as this office
and it is quite likely that Mr.. John
son will make his headquarters a
the former place.
Since the Office here has been un

Install New Machinery.

Thos. Jaycox & Son have recently
been making some extensive i'm
provements in and about their estab-
lishment. The building has been
enlarged and they have just installed
a new grinding mill which is claimed
to be one of the best In the county,
and are now prepared to grind your
feed promptly. They have also in
stalled an up-to-date seed cleaner
which is kept going most of the time
taking care of the big crops of clover
seed that they are handling. They
have discarded their gasoline engine
and now use electricity for power
which has proven to be superior to
gasoline. If you have feed to grind
or seed to clean, bear them in mine
as they will attend to your wants
promptly and satisfactorily.
