II Is asserted that Mr.. Snow In his
audit found the books OF the district
in excellent shape in every point and
NO discrepancies in accounts char
geable to either the secretary's or
the treasurer's Offices Considering
the fact that the transactions of the
Nampa 4 Meridian district during
the b-year period aggregated half
million dollars and that the entries
collections and expenditures ranged
fro ma few odd cents to many thous-
and dollars, the almost perfect con-
dition IN which the books were found
Is more than remarkable.

SHOULD WARN CHILDREN.

Local physicians are making a
thorough chemical analysis and vari-
Gus other tests In pursuit of inform
alton regarding the poison in the
tubers known as wild parsnips, which
caused the death here Monday Of
little Roland Gilbert and the serious
illness of the two young Carpenter
children. Some of the parsnips have
also been sent to the state chemist
and TO the labratory Of the state uni
yersity.
While il has been generally known
that wild parsnips were poisonous,
cases of death from eating them
have been rare and there is practi-
cally no information available as to
the nature of the poison they con-
tain. However, in a few days this
condition will be remedied and the
results of the tests will be published
in the nature of warnings. All child
rem of the valley should be carefully
warned against eating or even hand
ling the poisonous narsnips.

The high gear test with seven pas

included by the powerful car. 4 few

the car took up two passengers, leay-

topping the ascent at twenty-five.

SELF-STOPPER
AUTO DEVICE

Self-starting devices for automobiles
practically have reached a stage OF
perfection. but it remained for the
Prest-O-Lite Company to develop and
place on the market the first self
stopper" which has just been an
Eounced.
This latest automobile convenience
is a vacuum brake, which enables the
motorist to bring his car to a gradual
stop. with ease and smoothness, or to
stop it instantly with a minimum Of
personal effort
The effort necessary, in fact, is
about the same as is required when
operating the ordinary hand or foot
accelerator or sounding the horn.
Relieves Physical Strain
The driver is relieved of all physi-
cal strain, an advantage which will ap-
peal to motorists who have expert
enced the muscular tension of driving
a heavy car down long, steep grade.
II is claimed that the vacuum
brake will be special boon to women
drivers, many of whom have not the
physical strength to use the foot
brake or bring the car to sudden
stop.
With the vacuum brake applying
the brake =" is just as easy as turning
on 2 lighting switch.
The name of the new self-stopper
is the Prest- O-Vacuum brake. 1t is
q device Of few parts and can be used
on any make or model CT car, large
or small, which has the ordinary foot
brake.
Looks Like Air Brake
There is some similarity in the &C
ton of the new vacuum brake and
the air brake system on present day
railway trains, because both employ
the same sort of cylinoer and piston
connected to the brake rods.
But there is this important differ
ence-that the railway brake oper
ates by force of compressed air, while
the vacuum brake operates wholly by
the normal suction of the engine. en-
ploying 70 air compressor and no all
storage tank.
