THAT HOSE FAD

We have often wondered what is
was that makes the feminine neither
limbs so attractive on the sidewalk
when thousands of them barred on the
seashore are not only unattractive but
often repulsive. Is it the new and
shapely shoes, or the pretty stockings
that were once only seen through the

may, the attraction seems to be grow

Joy it more and more. The precociOus

A POLITICAL KNOCK

Some of D. w. Davis opponents ap-
pear to feel much alarmed and are dis
seminating lot of brainless rot to the
effect that Davis has close affiliation
with Brady interests. Even admitting
that. there was anything to such sense
less gush, what particular menace is in
against the strongest opposition any
candidate ever faced in Idaho, and it
would appear to the ordinary candidate
that support of that volume is not to
be lightly considered or tossed away
Aside from that, however, people can
figure that d. w. Davis is standing
on his own feet, and he will come out in
the lead in walk.-Pocatello Tribune

Bickering, backbiting and lack of har-
mony have wrecked more community
prospects than we care to enumerate.
They are the granite upon which many
bright commercial future has been
smashed to nothingness. They are the
death knell Of prosperity in any town.
And yet we see reputable and high
standing and well meaning business
men continually taking little, vicious
digs at their competitors in the CONNER
cial field. We see them throwing out
innuendoes in the hope of curtailing
the trade of their rivals. We see them
casting yelled reflections on the bust
ness integrity of other firms who may
perchance be more successful than they
are.
1t doesn It pay. It doesn It pay either
the man, his rival, or the commercial
life of the community upon which we
all must depend.
Many business men have no thought
of the far reaching effect of their in
considerate words to the detriment of
others, but the disastrous effect is felt
on all hands. 1t creates a spirit of dis
cord in the community, destroys the
confidence of one in another, and pre-
vents that cohesion of purpose by which
we accomplish the greater achieve
nents of life.
We would like to see every man speak
well of his business associates. We
would like to see them all laboring in
harmony in a commercial union for the
advancement of this town and this com
munity. We would like to see them all
pulling together in order that the load
may be lighter for each.
We have everything to gain by sucl
unity of purpose. We have nothing
whatever to lose.

Avoid Catching Cold.

Colds are catching mostly from 9th
ers. Therefore avoid people who have
colds. Avoid people who have recently
had pneumonia (within two years..
Avoid crowds. Avoid hot places.
Avoid badly ventilated places.
Colds can't be caught from oneself.
Therefore keep the mouth, nose and
tonsils clean. Avoid gorging with food
or-drink Avoid alcoholics.
The germ is a factor, but the human
body is also. Therefore avoid getting
overwarm or overcold in the entire
body or any part thereof.
Colds cannot be caught when resis-
lance is high. Therefore build up heat
making powers by sleeping out, taking
cold baths and eating moderately. Ex-
ercise daily in the open air.
If you have contracted cold do not
spit carelessly. Do not sneeze or cough
carelessly. Destroy all nose and
mouth secretiOns.

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR


The spectacular arrest of a gang of
blackmailers who have been preying
upon rich men and women of the metro
politan cities furnishes us with new
food for thought--and skepticisn.
When the arrests were made in Chi
cago a few days ago it was heralded
broadcast that millionaire men and
women had been caught in cOmpronis-
ing positions. 1t was even said that
many social families of prominence
would be rocked to their very founda-
tions. Federal prosecutors gleefully
announced that no one caught in the
net Of the blackmailers would be shield
ed-that everything would be laid bare
to the world.
The public gasped with anticipation,
and the victims shivered with appre
hension.
And then an order suddenly came
out of Washington directing that the
names of the victims be kept secret.
Money, money, money! The over
towering influence of money!
If poor men and women had been
caught in the net Of exposure no con-
sideration would have been vouchsafed
them, no mercy would have been shown
them. The searchlight Of publicity
would have been turned on to the full.
But not so with the socially promi-
nent, not so with those of the swollen
bank accounts. Money and position give
them influence, and influence grants
them immunity from publicity.
Skeptical! We are just skeptical
enough to wonder if the time will ever
come when the law will be for all peo
pie alike-not law for the poor man
and none for the rich.

The borrower and the lender both
were from Richmond. The lawyer
gave him the 35 cents, then said:
"Say, what do you want to 60 to
Richmond for? Why don't you en-

"Is there going to be any fight

WEALTH OF CENTRAL ASIA
Building of Railroad Has Revealed to
the World the Variety of Products
Grown There.

Since the construction Of the
Transcaspian railroad, which opened
up markets in European Russia, and
consequently abroad, for the prod
ucts of Russia's central Asian pos
sessions, these regions have proved
themselves a source of great wealth,
not only because of their cotton and
silk, but also because Of the magnif-
cent fruit which is being raised
there in increasing quantities
luscious and fragrant apples, which
turn translucent in the sun; apricots,
pomegranates, figs, etc. The gardens
of central Asia are able to grow an
extraordinary variety Of products.
Fruit culture is also increasing in
the Caucasus and southern Russia ::
extensive orange plantations have
been set out and their fruit has be-
come extremely popular now that the
war has cut off the usual supply Of
oranges from Italy. Land is being
reclaimed and set out in fruit farms
around Astrakhan. The Crimea, with
its extremely mild climate, has, of
course, always been a great fruit
growing center, and Bessarabia, near
the Roumanian frontier, is particu-
larly noted for its apples and vine
yards. The Russians are very fond
of fruit, particularly dried or in the
form of fruit pastes or preserves,
often using jam in their tea instead
of sugar.-Geographical Review.

RESEMBLES FIRE OF. GOALS
Into Great Britain, Gives a
Realistic Imitation.

The somewhat novel electric CRATE
fire that is being shown British
ho%useholders gives an ingenious I'M
itation of flaming Goals. Each heat
ing element is all arc-shaped steel
trough, about ten inches long by Two
wide, ross the top Of which a
chrome nickel resistance wire is
wound back and forth in a kind of
screen, with mica insulation. The
elements required are set as verti-
cal panels in the fireplace. A cur-
rent of 500 watts for each gives a
bright red glow, and as the air pass
ing upward from the bottom becomes
gradually heated, it is divided into
layers of varying density, causing a
shimmering effect like that seen over
railway rails on a hot day. This
radiation and the direct action Of
the air coming in contact with the
heated wires make it practicable to
produce red or smoky flames as de-
sired, with a cheerful play Of light
and shade in contrast to the steady
glow of the ordinary heated radiator.
Of the heat radiated, about three
fourths is found to come from the
heating elements direct, and part of
the remainder is sent out indirectly
from the metal over the fire, while
part is distributed in the warm air
discharged horizontally into the
room.

COLLARS FOR CANINE HEROES
Three Famous War Dogs That Have
Been Honored by France Are
Worthily Among List.

The incrusted skeleton of a dog of
Pompeii wears a collar bearing a le-
gend that shows he saved the life OF
his young master several times
from pirates, from thieves, from
drowning. When discovered the body
of the dog was outstretched upon
that of the lad, to show hal he was
trying to save him from the suffo-
eating shower of lapilli and the flow
Of lava. The dogs of st. Bernard
would have recognized in him a col
league after their own heart, remarks
the Philadelphia Ledger.
But there are three famous war
dogs that live to wag the tail and
have just received high honors at
the hands of the French government.
At a public meeting, with an official
of the ministry of agriculture presid-
ing, gold collars have been clasped
round the necks of Fend Pair and
Loustic. Fend Pair helped his mas
ter free himself when a trench caved
in. Loustic was a useful spy, but
the poor beast could not hear the
kind things said to him, for the
noise of the artillery fire has made
him deaf. The third dog, Pyrame,
was too busy at the front to be pres
ent, He saved a battalion by bark
ing when the Germans came, and
then carrying a message that brought
relief. The finale of the ceremony
was a procession across the platform
Of Is wal dogs, with the soldiers that
trained them. A book might easily
be written on the part that animals
have played in the war. 1t will be a
story of heroic fidelity and of suffer
ing hat must tend to. make US more
thoughtful of creatures that some
times acquit themselves more nobly
than we who insist hal they have no
souls.

BIRDS SANG ON FIRING LINE
Of Mans Deadly Hatred When
the Battle Joins.

The rest Of the day we spent in
that delightful wood, surrounded by
the marsh-deep water on three sides.
Behind US about a mile one of our
batteries was busy with most often
sive guns. The roar, which was in
cessant, was a physical and mental
pain each time.
Above us grew the tallest and
largest and straightest willow trees /
ever saw, enormous affairs. These
we're ready to seed their fluffy stuff
and the conclusions from these guns
showered it down on us all the after
noon. 1t seemed strange, too, to
hear the cuckoos. Never have |
heard so many cuckoos, or SO near,
They cuckooed all day long, at the
closest range. There were other birds
also that whistled wonderfully. Loud
and musical whistling calls, entirely
new to me. All this going on, al
most in the firing line.
| actually saw a bird fall dead, or
nearly SO, out Of the sky, when we
were in the support trenches during
a heavy bombardmcnt a week or SO
ago. 1t dropped close to where l
was ~lattening myself against the
sand bag parapet about thirty yards
away, and looked like a swallow. I
should think that the rush of air
around a big shell would easily kill a
small bird and l noticed a good
many swallows flying about that day.
