New French Army Helmet.

Slxty-four operations are necessary
In making one ~ the steel helmets
that the French soldiers wear. The
first step, says Pearson's Magazine. Is
stamping out disks from great sheets
OF steel. A machine that exerts pres
sure of one hundred and fifty tons,
and can cut out five thousand disks
Il day, does that work.
Each disk is placed under a shap-
Ing machine. which presses the disk
into the form Of helmet with a
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma.
chimes remove all irregularities In the
helmet, after which holes are punched
In the crown-sOme for ventilation
purposes. others for fastening on the
regimental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
In a special mixture that makes II a
dull, inconspicuous blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps are
then fastened on. and the helmet Is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear helmets the mum.
Der of deaths from wounds In the
head has decreased to a remarkable
extent.

THEY BELIEVED
in AMERICA

one hundred and FORTY years ago some half
hundred men, sent by their communities to con.
cert measures for SECURING their rights as Eng
lshmen,' became con !ipced that these could not
be obtained save by seasing to be British sub
jects' and declaring themselves american citi-
Zens."
Let US look behind the formal phrases of the
immortal Declaration 90 the faith Of these men
and of the people for whom they spoke. What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the Justice OF their cspse and the righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed In thesiseves; In their ability to
do right and justice. they believed In the COM
petence of stalwart maahooi to govern itself and
TO provide for the colomou welfare. They be-
leved they could maks better arrangements I'm
government than men had made before them.
They believed In themselves in their people, In
America.
Americans of late have done great deal Of
fault-fnding with America. There is not 80 much
now as year or two aso The spectacle across
the Atlantic tends TO hush It, and to give new
point to the saying that "other countries" are
what make Americans so proud Of their own.

OF GREAT MOMENT IN HISTORY.

The declaration Of American independence was
OF uncqualed moment In history. As the result
of that fact, the United States of America has
risen to a greatness which has changed the face
of the world. In little less than seven score
or years 1t has changed us from nation OF peO-
pie scattered thny along the coast Of the At
lantic, 10 a nation OF over hundred millions Of
people stretching over the whole continent from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and into the
lands beyond the seas. Moreover, In wealth and
In material energy, as In numbers II far sur
passes the mother country from which II sprang.

TRIBUTE TO THE DECLARATION.

The historian Buckle cordial and sweeping
In his praise OF the Declaration. He said among
other thngst "That noble Declaration ought TO
be hung up IN the nursery of every king and
blazoned on tia porch Of every royal palace"
If such were the brilliant historians idea It
was as Professor Tyler remarked, 'because the
Declaration has become the classic statement OF
political truths which must at last abolish kings
altogether or else teach them to identify their ex-
istence with the dignity and happiness of hu,csG
nature"

TOMORROW WILL.

Surprise Packages Will Be
the Order of the Day
in Boise.

Consumers favored with a sweet
tooth will celebrate tomorrow, for that
date has been officially designated as
"Candy day" by the National Confec-
tionary association and local manufac-
turers wholesalers and retailers are
making special preparations to nave
the most tempting candies ready TO
offer the public. Hubby will have a
chance to select choice boxes OF can
dies to take home and surprise WHEY
and those of the younger generation
who have sweetiloarts will be far from
chivalrous if they do not step in with
q surprise package of bitter sweets.
II will be popular to serve candy after
every meal and between meals on Sat
urday and to see that little Johnny Is
properly supplied with a bag full or
sweets.
There have been all kinds OF special
DAYS set aside for everyone but father
and the candy makers are firmly OF
the belief that they are entitled to
"Candy day." for they deal in prod
uct for which there is greater gen
eraI consumption than any other. Can
dy Ia recognized by physicians and
health experts as beneficial and mod
crate use of sweets does more for the
keep of the, human body than any
one thing else. Analysis OF candy
proved that it contains much that is
good and practically nothing that Is
bad.
When the Nationa. Confectionery
association met this year It was decid-
ed to set aside Oct. IA as Candy day
in the United States and all jobbers
manufacturers, distributors and retail
ers were asked to join in making 1t
success. In Boise every effort Is be-
ing put forth to do so. Not only viii
dealers exhibit special displays of can

Count Your
 Blessings

At the close of the year is a good time to take an inventory, and at the same time it might not be unprofitable to count your blessings, after the cheerful habit of Mrs. Wiggs, when troubles swarmed like stinging bees around her
 If you have health-radiant, glow ing health, that sends you weary with good days work to a dreamless refreshing sleep and wakes you to the opportunities of another day-the first and greatest of lifes blessings is yours. If there is work waiting every day for you to do, the second great blessing is yours. If you have a home and friends, a blessing precious beyond calculation is yours.
 A comfortable savings account is another blessing to be reckoned. The home and the nest egg that have been attained by regular saving is more precious than the mansions and riches of the very walthy. If you have health, work. home and friends and a good savings account the counting of these blessings cannot help but add to the joy of very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
