define field for practical reform,
which so far has been ignored en-
tirely. He said:
There are some men and women,

ing, who are not able, because of
physical or mental defects, to do any
kind of work or to work for regular
hours every day or whose employment
has to be selected to fit their particu-
lar type. These are generally classified
as subnormal persons. This does not
mean-as physicians know-that they
are insane or idiotic or unable to care
for themselves. They need some as
sistance in caring for themselves so
that they do not become an absolute
burden upon the people at large.
What greater work could be done
than to employ competent physicians
to make a study of these subnormal
unfortunates and to establish factories
under competent medical supervision
where they could be put to work suit
ed to their needs. where their health
could be studied and improved and
they themselves restored to the great

FIFTY FEET CT SNOW
RIGHT IN U. S. IN JULY
Visitors Find Il About Crater Within
Eighteen Miles of Santa Fe.

Santa Fe, n. M.-Snow fifty feet
deep within eighteen miles of Santa re
in July is fact which is likely to
cause a good many people to revise
their ideas of the Great American
desert" of which so much Is heard In
the east.
Visitors at Santa Fe lake and to the
top of the lake and Penitente peaks
have found snow cOrnices around the
crest of the crater overlooking the lake
basin which sloped Off gently from the
top, the outer edge of the snow break
ing off abruptly in walls which ranged
from twenty to fifty feet in height,
There is no doubt from the measure
ments of these snow precipices that
the snowfall in midwlnter must have
been fifteen to twenty feet in places
and that the peaks were clothed In
solid mass of snow from bottom to
summit. There are still masses of
snow scattered all round the lake
which are still four or five feet thick.
But for the warm rains that come
later snow probably would lie in the
basin from years end to years end.
Despite the hot July sun, the air Is so
cool at the peak level, more than 10000
feet above the sea, that the snow cor
nices are melting very slowly.

FARM DISTRICT REGISTERING
Protects the Permanent Resident
Against Illegal Voters.

Against Iilegal voters.
If we have any permanent resi-
dents" they are the farmers, and nine
ty per cent of them are taxpayers. If
farmer is a tenant today he expects
to be a land owner, and the bonds
voted today will stand against the
property he buys next year.
Off-hand one might say that the
permanency of the farmer is an argu-
ment against compelling him to regis
ter as a voter every four years. But
without registration the farmers vote
may be offset by that of an illegal
voter.
A few days ago a delegation OF
farmers waited upon a member of the
1915 legislature and protested against
the registration law. Here is his an
swer:
you gentlemen are farmers, per-
and taxpayers. You have or should
have an interest in election matters.
No doubt you study the issues and
try to vote intelligently.
I'm this county l operate logging
camp and a sawmill. We have 200
employees, on an average, but during
the year men come and go and we
have as many as 600 names on our
payroll.
There are, we will say, 200 men in
camp on election day. They will vote.
Who knows whether or not they have
legal right tn vote? l do not. My
foreman may know many of them or
he may know very few. There may
be a matter of bond issue in which
you taxpayers are vitality interested.
81 ask you when those 200 men in
my camp are not required to register,
what protection have you against IL
legal voters placing upon you bond
issue or electing men whom you know
are incompetent?
rs it worth the trouble of register
ing once in four years to have protec-
ton against illegal voters? The legis-
lature made a sincere effort to main
tain the sanctity of the ballot; to pre-
vent the taxpaying, permanent citi-
zens against the itinerant, non-regis-
tered, illegal voter.
I'm cities and towns where Tegistra
ton has been required the new law
requiring but one registration in four
years will greatly reduce the registra-
ton expenses"
The delegation was thoroughly
pleased with the statement and de-
parted heartily in favor of the regis
tration of all voters of Washington
once every four years.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Warren People Know How to
Save It.

Many Warren people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Weak kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in dan
ger. Use Doan's Kidney Pills - a
remedy that has helped thousands of
kidney sufferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt.
Jacob Francis, 427 Central Ave.,
Crookston, Mimi, says: II had suf-
fered from my back for quite a while
and was so bad that any jar or sud-
den move caused intense pains
through my kidneys. I used Doan's
Kidney Pills and they took the pain
out Of my back in quick time. I never
had the least need of Doan's Kidney
Pills again until last fall. Then I
took cold on my kidneys and it
brought on another attack. I got a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills right
away and they soon stopped the
pain"
