books by the democrats since the 4th
 of March, 1913, were asked, but they have not been answered. As the New
 York World says, MT. Hughes silence is confession.
 If Wilson's administration has been particularly distinguished in achieve ment it is because of the constructive
 character of the legislation he urged upon Congress.
 | Not all the measures adopted by Congress under MT. Wilson's spur are ideal, but most of them are such as should have been enacted into law long
 ago. All in all the democratic record ] is splendid, but MT. Hughes thinks
 that everything accomplished by the
 party in power must be ''wiped off the
 books" Could any candidate make himself more ridiculous or reveal such an utter lack of grasp touching vital questions?

Alabamna to Cast Big Vote Tuesday

1T N view of the fact that the national U election and Alabama county cleo tions. and several important amend ments to the state constitution all come together the vote next Tuesday will be exceptionally large. It prob ably will be the largest ever boiled. As this is practically a one-party state, comparatively little interest is felt in the election for the local of fees to be filled. All these matters twere settled in the democratic pri- mary last May.
 But the active canvass that has been conducted for the school tax amend ment should bring out a record-break- linz vote. All the amendments-there are six-have strong supporters; but the educational measure leads, and next to it the bank measure, putting savings depositors of insolvent instl- tutions on an equal footing with the checking depositors.
 Few voters are ignorant of the pro- visions of the various amendments, but more telling work than usual has been done in behalf of the educational proposition. If it levied tax, then it would not be thought strange to find some men voting against it. But as it is only permissive, and not in any shape or form compulsory, the vote for the amendment should be virtually unanimous.
 After the amendment is ratified at the polls many a county will jump at the opportunity to avail themselves of it. The counties that do not need additional revenue for the public schools will not hold elections. Ul- Itimately, however, the constitution will be invoked by a large majority of the counties.
 Let no voter fail to turn out on Tuesday, rain or shine.

 However, do not think the influence of persons who are opposed to the amendment will be sufficient to turn many voters.

 | Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch was in the lounge of the Woman's City club when I sent off my letter to Jane Addams. 1 flashed the question at her: What is the greatest task before the American | woman today?"

REVIVE PROPOSAL
FOR GOVERNMENT
AID TO PROJECT
Representative of Interior
Department in Boise and
Holds Conference With
the Governor.

The possibility OF federal aid for the
King Hill irrigation project was re-
vive. yesterday with arrival of George
B. Archibald, Carey act and mineral
inspector with the department of the
interior. in Boise. He held a confer
ence with Governor Alexander. Tele-
grams are now passing between that
official, the governor and officials at
Washington. Mr.. Archibald would ex-
press no opinion but is understood TO
be familiar with the affairs of the
King Hill project and believes federal
aid is not only feasible but possible.
This project is owned by the state.
1t was purchased under the hammer
two years ago and has since been ham
died by the state through the land
board. B. p. Shawhan, former state
Carey act commissioner, is manager
for the state on the project. The leg
islature has appropriated funds for the
projects relief or authorized the land
. board to use Carey act funds for that
purpose.
1t is believed that with federal aid
the project can be properly placed on
its feet and so handled that every acre
of land under it can be irrigated. The
state has for some time been endeav-
oring to secure aid from the federal
government as the land board does not
believe it can afford to handle the
project owing to the cost. Since he
took over the management Mr.. Shaw
han has greatly repaired the irrigation
system until the delivery of water t.
the cultivated lands has been made
possible. Federal aid would, say state
officials, provide the necessary fund:
10 make the entire irrigation system
complete in every detail and give sucl
confidence to the settlers that within
a short time it would develop into on
of the best Carey act projects in th'
state.

have not heretofore existed. For this
purpose it has been found convenient
to make a canvass of the several

and the means and methods Of all three
and the means and methods by which

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In 1t before breakfast.

Headache of any kind is caused by
auto intoxication-Whic means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins. sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head, producing vio-
lent throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent. sick, feverish and miserable
your meals sour. and almost nauseate
you Then you resort to acetanilide
aspirin or the bropides which tempo
rarily relieve but do not rid the blood
of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
drank before breakfast for awhile, vii
not only wash these poisons, from YOU
system and cure you of headache blu
will cleanse, purify and freshen the en-
tire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quartz
pound OF limestone phosphate. 1t Il
inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sourlsl
| twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best. i
tongue is coated or you wake up witt
bad taste, foul breath or have colds
Indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos
phated hot water cure to rid you

Results are quick and it is claime
that those who continue to flush GU
the stomach, liver and bowels ever
morning never have any headache @
