Pillows Generally Too High.

A family doctor writes: T cannot give you universal recipe for sound sleep. but let me tell you that in all the thousands of patients l have seen in bed I have never met with one whc arranged his pillows hygienieally. All too high. far too high. High pillows curve rha spine, bend the neck, and thus prevent the free circulation of blood in the brain. You can never get the full value out of a nights sleep un- less you fix your pillow so low that the head and neck are just on level with the spine

the trip to Cottonwood last week to
attend the Idaho County Odd Fellows

ing of the good time enjoyed since their
return. The program redered at 10 in

by Mayor Parker of Cottonwood and
the response by M. Il. Hattabaugh.
Mrs. M. r. Hattabaugh furnished a
solo and was encored but disappointed
the audience in not giving a second
number. Piano solos by young ladies
on the program, Miss Vivian Baker and
Miss Anna Peterson, deserved the
round of applause.
In the afternoon business meetings
were held and at 7:30 a splendid ban
quet was served after which the Rebek-
ah lodges conferred the degree on can
didates. The initiatory work of the /.
O. O. F. was exemplified on Lester F.

guardsmen, Company E, word having
been received today that unless at least
twenty men are sent to Boise to bring
the company up to the minimum war

departure DIR. Moore, lieutenant of the
reserve medical corps, was authorized
by the adjutant general to continue
recruiting and get at least twenty five
additional men and up to one-hundred if
possible.
The wire this morning does not
change the instructions previously
given but gives the additional infor-
nation that it is absolutely necessary
if Company E is to remain intact to
send at once twenty men. DIR. Moore

The secret service of the air is not
confined to the military planes that
search out the location of batteries
and entertainments. A branch no less
efficient and reliable is found among
birds themselves.
Birds have become useful in Eu-
rope as sentries to warn men Of the
approach of the enemy before the
hostile force is perceptible to the hu-
man eye. The French have found
that parrots are acutely sensitive to
the presence of aircraft, and therefore
they have stationed a number of these
birds on the top of the Eiffel Tower,
in Paris, in order to warn the sentries
Of the approach Of German taubes.
Before the craft is visible to the hui
man eye the birds bristle with excite
ment and then begin to screech. Their
acuteness is due not to their eye-sight,
as one might suppose, but to an UNI
usual acuteness of hearing, which en-
ables them thus to give valuable
warning.
