PARTY FOR BOY SCOUT

One of the pleasant times of this
week among the younger set, was a
party given Monday night by DR.. and
Mrs. j. B. Davis at their home on n
Stout avenue in honor of the advent of
their son, Cowell, into his teens. Those
invited were the members of Blackfoot
Troop No. of the Boy Scouts of Am
erica. The entertainment of the even
ing consisted of visit to the picture
show at the Isis, then back to the home
where games and refreshments were
enjoyed by all, especially the refresh
ments which consisted Of sandwiches,
hot cocoa, doughnnts and picked cher
ries. The cherries were greatly enjoyed
by Patrol Leader "Chic' and Scout
Ding
Thoughts present were: Scouts Beebe,
Packard, York, Greenan, Robertson, j.
Evans, S. Evans, Simmons, Barrette,
Davis, Bell, Carruth, Boyle, and Patrol
leaders, Hendrie, Cherrington, and

u. S, BUILDING
FOR BLACKFOOT

Washington. Senator Brady was
sufficiently recovered Tuesday to at
tend the senate session and take the
oath of office. After introducing sew
eral bills, on the advice of his physician,
he returned home and will not actively
resume his duties until he more fully
recuperates. He leaves for Florida Sat
urday to remain at least two months
Among the bills which Senator Brady
introduced were those appropriating one
hundred thousand dollars each for pub
lie buildings at Payette and Blackfoot,
and a bill appropriating $150,000 for
10 mining experiment stations to be
established in connection with the state
schools of mines in 10 western mining
states.
The proposed government building is
for postoffice purposes, and its demand
by Senator Brady will have great
tendency to discourage the boomers of
Idaho Falls and Pocatello who have for
sometime been planning to have tn
land office at Blackfoot. removed t.
their respective cities.

Brokow, the local manager of the

to the Improvement committee.
Councilman Dekay moved that a
committee be appointed to investigate
whether or not the present water mains
were sufficiently large enough to carry
off the surface water of the proposed
street paving.

cellent and the closing hour witnessed
the show room filled with poultry loS
ers. An especially noticeable feature
last night was the demand for breed
ing fowls and had the owners of the
heavier birds desired. they could have
sold every one they had on exhibition.
The breed most in demand was Barred
plymouth Rocks. with Rhode Island
Reds second Black and White Or
pingtons. third and White Rocks,

mand for Anconas.
The poultry show demonstrated that
poultry breeders were far more num-
erous than several years ago as birds
were exhibited from points as far
north as Lewiston, east to Blackfoot
and west to Pendleton and south to
EIko, Nevada.
That Idaho bred birds are as fine
as those bred any place in the country
was shown by the fact that Black
Orpington hen which won the first
prize for the best black bird at the
Panama Pacific exposition, scored only
fourth here, and two other birds which
we're purchased in New York by To-
cal breeder, especially for the show

JUST A FOOL NOTION.

According to many voters in this town the overwhelming defeat of the vets is solely due to a foolish notion of the people. These men say that it isn't due to the work of the prohbtionists in particular. Neither can they zee any reason to attribute the defeat to the women vote. They concede, however that the women added to the majority of the dry votes, but they cannot see that even if the women voted dry exclusively which they have not-how the drys rolled such a vast majority. Particularly in the interior where it is said there are three men to every woman. These voters look foolish, gaping with astonishment at the result. They hardly be- lieve Alaska voted dry. Alaska, populated with a hardy bunch of men and women; men and wo- men who believe in liberty; who believe very lit tie in man-made laws but prefer to follow their conscience's dictates. Men, who as a general rule do not care to dictate but prefer to let every man do as he likes. Yet they voted the saloons out of business almost unanimously. Today, hundreds of those who voted dry are asking themselves how it happened. They are sorry apparently so. They never thought the matter seriously. It was just fool notion. The majority of the vot- CTS are neither reformers nor dictators. For that reason we are justified in predicting that among those who voted dry, hundreds shall be bootleg ging in 1918.

 It costs nothing to stand and breathe and walk properly.
 It costs nothing to have fresh air in your home. It costs nothing to masticate ones food thoroughly this nsures better digestion of the expensive highly favored food is consumed money and health are saved
 It costs nothing to cleanse the teeth thoroughly after each meal By doing you may not only dentists bills, but surgeons and doctors bills
 It costs nothing to choose the kinds food that the body needs.
 It costs nothing to keep of your body substances like alcohol that are known to be injurious
 It costs nothing to adjust diet that the expensive foods are not taken in excess.
 It costs nothing to avoid eating between meals and sweets that have high fuel value and liable irrate the stomach.
 It costs nothing to feed the mind with wholesome mental food instead of trash morbid literature that easily decomposes and poisons your whole life.
