PREPAREDNESS NECESSARY
Caldwell School Superintendent
Gives His Reasons.

At large gathering of the Gar
field Community Center at Boise FRI
day evening, uperintendent H. H.
Clifford of the Caldwell public schools
explained in an enthusiastic and
forceful manner how international
conflicts may be avoided in the future.
The speaker said that under condi-
tions that now exist among indivi-
duals, families, social groups and
states, national defenses are absolute
ly necessary.
$50 long as men barter and sell
things that they most desire, there
will be personal conflicts" said Mr..
Clifford, "and so long as there are
personal Observation-Disclosures, there
will be group, and state differences
National preparedness is imperative
then until the people can be educated
out of their selfish desires"
"To be socially prepared, it is ne.
cessary to have closer CO. cooperation
between the individuals 10 every
community" Mr.. Clifford said. "This
can be most effectually secured
through the agency Of the public
schools. There must be closer co
operation between the parent and The
teacher. and the problems of the
child must be one Of common interest.
To have peace between nations is to
have peace of mind in the individual,
and that comes through education
alone. Prepare the child to adjust
himself to the needs of the communi-
ty, and you prepare the community
to function without friction in the
state"

Gunpowder as Medicine.

The use of gunpowder as medicine
was very widely advocated in the eight
eenth century and, either taken in
wardly or applied externally, was held
to be a specific against rheumatism
and ague. In the "Compleat House
wife or Accomplished Gentlewoman's
Companion" domestic pharmaco-
poeia, published in 1742, appears the
following remedy for rheumatism: LET
the party take of the finest glazed gum
powder as much as a large thimbe
may hold; wet it in spoon with milk
from the cow and drink good half
pint of warm milk after it; be covered
warm in bed and sweat; give it fasting
about In the morning and take this
nine or ten mornings together."-Lon-

A great many people who fatter

but not SO bad as the others. But when
she reached the mixture of siftings and

Rafael Joseffy was among the most

of Chopin's music. l fancy, that ever
fived. One of his most amiable traits
was his want of artistic jealousy and
his unfailing kindness and courtesy to-
ward his colleagues. This no less when
he was in the heydey of his popularity
as virtuoso than after he had retired
from the platform to the regret and
wonderment of his admirers, who were
as numerous as the lovers of piano
forte music.
During the decade from 1880 to 1890
he really had no rival among the pian-
lists who gave concerts In New York.
His popularity burned with a steady
and lambent fame no matter how
much enthusiasm blazed up for these
newcomers. All these Joseffy met in u

1neouore ROOSEVELT, In letter TO
the National Security league of New
York and In speech before the
National Convention OF America Hlsm
at Philadelphia in favor of prepared
ness for national defense, declares
that he does not believe the United
States needs large army. A trained
mobile army of $50. 900 he said would
be sufficient, to be supported by a
system Of military training for all
citizens beginning In the high schools.
He said large. efficient navy is
needed, and coast defenses strong
enough to leave the navy free for
offensive operations against any
enemy attacking from over seas.
Major General Wood favors an
army of 100000 men: 1850 for
continental United States and As, 900
to hold the island possessions and the
Panama canal. That foreign army
could effect landing on short notice
was proven, he said, by the fact that
the allies landed 1875, 900 men In one
expedition OF 9s ships at Gallipoll In
the face OF submarines, mines, coast
defenses aud barbed wire underwater

views to the congressional committee

for national defense, recommends a
regular army OF 100000 men and
