that the treasurer was about to
pay off $1,000 of the water bond
Indebtedness and, as soon as the
taxes are received from the county,
will be able to take up another
$1,000 worth. This will reduce
the Indebtedness to $40, 500 and
make the interest $I2o less per
>annum. The bonds bear six per
cent interest.

EMPEROR OF GERMANY.
Why, From a Legal Standpoint, There
Is Now No Such Title.

IL NOW mo Sucn tttles
There is no such person now as
the emperor of Germany. and there
never has been so far as Prussian
king is concerned. Further, there is a
reason why such is so. 1t is no mere
quibble over the form of a name.
Emperor of Germany was a title as
sumed hy Rudolph. count of Hapsburg,
in 1878. BY the pragmatic sanction of
1890 the title. then held by Albert H.,
was confined In perpetuity to the house
of Austria. This succession came to
an end IN the person of Francis H..
who after his crushing defeat by Napo-
Icon resigned his title of emperor of
Germany and took that of emperor of
Austria, 1906. at the same time Ans
tria withdrew from the leadership of
the Germanic states, and Prussia. once
a mere fief Of Poland, stepped into the
position. That movement, however
was gradual, entailing many other
changes, and 1t was not till 1871 that
the new German confederation COM
pleted it's dream by the king of Prussia
becoming German emperor.
William l. imagined then and contin.
ued to imagine to bis dying day that he
had a right to the older title, but Bis
marck would have none of 1t, and his
mandate, German emperor. became
law. The reason was obvious. the en-
perors of Germany being the represent
atives OF the ancient empire OF the
west, the Holy Roman Empire. posi-
ton impossible to the Lutheran de
scendant of Brandenburg electors
Moreover emperor of" meant, as In
Russia It still means, sovereign lord
absolutely of land and people.-Phila

State Finances
Last Year
Figures in State Treasurers Report of
Interest to Taxpayers.

Boise.--The report of State Treas
urer John w. Eagleson for the year
1915, which was submitted to the
governor on Saturday, is an interest
Ing compilation of figures. 1t con-
tains several items which should
easily catch the eye of the taxpayer.
During the past year the state re-
ceived $3,l24,4l634 and disbursed
es.2l0,0S7. For the first time In
its history the state went through
the year without registering a single
warrant. 3lt%
The state treasurer's Office saved
and earned $54, 500. 80, including $l0,-
200 interest on and printing OF state
highway bonds, for which saving Mr..
Eagleson acknowledges the assistance
of State Senator Rockwell Of Blaine
county.
The growth Of the state and the
Increase OF work in the treasurer's
ofiice Is shown BY comparing 1915
with the first year OF statehood, when
the receipts were 1851, 1872.
In his report Treasurer Eagleson
says: ''We have saved over $2500 90
interest on warrants during the year
by changing the usual custom OF
handling the warrants and by reason
of this change We have been able to
run the year through without regis
terIng single warrant, something /
believe was never done before in the
history Of the state.

DARING WoRKMEN.

Awning Removers Take Greater Risks
Than Do Steepleiacks.
Steeplejacks have long enjoyed rep.
utation for daring. but 1t is question
whether they come In the same class
of riskers as the awning removers,
who take down the 'tsunshades" from
the fronts of houses all over the city.
These removers do not need or use the
rope and block and fall accessories of
the steeple men. Yet they climb to
places and do their work In what
seems to be an impossible manner.
Starting at the street level, two or
three awning removers will strip the
entire front of fiat house and never
go indoors. They are as agile as aero
bats. They reach up TO window sill
and then raise themselves to the win
dow ledge. Finishing the window
while standing on this ledge. they seize
the top stone of the window, pull them
selves up to 1t and from there reach
again to the window ledge above SO as
to strip another window. Through the
belt they wear runs a line, and with
this they lower the awnings as they
take them down.
How they can do their work with SO
little to hang on to is more remarkable
than the tasks performed by the struc-
tural ironworkers. The ironworker, II
he slips. has something at hand In the
way of beam around which he has a
chance to lock his arms. The awning
remover. when he slips. falls outward
from the ledge and has nothing to
clutch. Three awning removers ON one
occasion stripped a seven story fat OF
seventy-fiye windows In the Bronx IL
the remarkable time of three hours, all
from the outside.-New York Sun.

GIVE CHILD A CHANCE
Iints From State Board of
Health.

From the Idaho State Board of
Health press bulletin:
DR.. Louis w. Rapeer estimates
that between Is and 20 per cent OF
the children who fail OF promotion
and fall back In their school work do
so because of i'll health and physical
defects. These three or four million
unfortunate children are likely to be
hampered all through their future
lives by the same causes. The object
of school medical inspection Is to de.
tect such defects Ia time and secure
their treatment--to give the boys and
the girls chance IN school and In
after life.
DR.. Rapeer estimates from a study
Of the statistics obtained In twenty
five cities that cut OF an average
group Of elementary pupils two-thirds
| will be found to have defective teeth,
one in fourteen defective eyesIght,
one In seventeen enlarged tonsiis and
one In twenty adenoid growths or
other distractions OF the nose or
throat.
As rule, neither the child nor It's
parents have any suspicion that these
physical defects exist. Many child
is backward Ia its school work be-
cause IL cannot see the blackboard
clearly or cannot study because OF
backaches and never suspects that
pair OF glasses would cure all the
trouble. Many child Is dull and
| fretful because Of obstructed breath
ing and It's farreaching effects ON
physical and mental health.
The principal OF public school in
a large city wrote short time ago Ia
regard to group OF backward pupils
whose physical defects had been de-.
tected by the school physician and
promptly treated without excep.
tion we have found marvellous i'm
provement In these children Thsy
all assert that they can breathe bet
ter, sleep more sonndiy and have
better appetites. Several of the boys
have been able to give up their habit
of cigarette smoking. and all appear
to be In far better physical condition.
Mentally they exhibit an unusual
alertness, interest and intelligence.

and most noticeable feature OF theIf

"While rigid economy in the ad-
mInistration of the finances OF tbs
state is essential, savings in expendi
lures attained through decreased

unwise, but resolve themselves In th.
end into irreparable waste of th'
