HEALTH IN
 SUMMERTIME
BY EDNA EGAN.

T OW that the warm days are vN here," sighed the pale stenog- lAI rapher, "I am sure I shall feel
 better. I'll have roses in my cheeks and be able to put more heart in my work"
 Perhaps she will, but it is very like ly that she won't. For the warm weather season, instead of giving the average worker new lease on llfe' makes her feel more tired, more nerv- ous, nearer the end of her physical en- durance than she ever did during the winter. This is not entirely because heat is enervating, but because few girls who work for living and must, in consequence, be in the city most of the summer, know how to live proper ly during the warm days. As rule they eat the wrong food, sleep too lit tie and take no exercise except that required in the performance of their daily duties. No physical system can stand such treatment, especially at time when the heat saps away the small fund of strength.
 If you want to be well this summer you must begin now to lay the founca- tion for future health. During these
  hot nor too cold, get up early, each morning take cool or cold bath, eat a substantial breakfast, and then start early to the office, allowing yourself time to take at least fifteen minutes walk before going to your daily labors. You will feel refreshed and more like work than you ever have before.
 At luncheon time stay out in the sum- ca ir1n nd oir- ec m l. ble. Fresh air will do more towards building up strength than all the medicines in the world.
 But fresh air and exercise are woe fully handicapped in their work if the business girl clogs her system with the wrong sort of food. The human system craves change of diet in the spring and it is fatal to health to keep on eating heavy meats, rich sauces, pastries and deserts at this time of the year. Eat as little meat as possi- ble and when you do eat 1t, be sure to eat some light meat Fish should take the place of meat to large ex- tent during the hot weather, and plen- ty of fresh vegetables. salads and fruits should be eaten.
 During the hottest parts of the sum- mer months she must observe certain rules if she wishes to keep her health during this trying period.
 If possible, arrange ones work that the hardest part of it comes early in the morning and late in the afternoon. This leaves the middle of the day (when the heat is most intense) con- paratively free, and during this time the working girl should sit as quiet as possible.
 This does not mean that she should not work at all. If she is business woman this is impossible, but it does mean that in many cases she can so arrange her work that whatever run ming about she has to do can be ac- complished in the early morning and that the writing of letters or other work that keeps one still at one's daak can be taken nn hatwAan fhA

A well-poised woman is seldom nervous, because she has learned the art of self-control. Poise is to the refined woman what technique is to the artist. It Is the natural heri- tage of culture, and should be culti- vatedi by all.

 Get a good-sized gray blanket, preferably woolen. Cut out the pie lures from a cloth nursery picture book and sew them to the blanket. The bright pictures will attract baby's at tention and he will pat and pick at them by the hour, and keep perfectly contented on his soft, warm, creeping rug. This idea may also be used in connection with the baby fence, for baby may be left inside the fence with his pictorial floor covering, and run no risks of falling on sharp playthings..

GOSSIP

KN HERE are few offices where
 several persons are employed s which do not give opportunity
 for gossip. But the girl who determines that she at least will nei- ther repeat nor welcome talk about other members of the office force chooses wise course.
 Sometimes the talk is not ill-na- tured, but it's just as well to steer clear of it. Frying and fussing over other peoples affairs is poor work at the best. if 1t has a best
 Of one thing you may be quite sure. If you say something unkind. some thing sarcastic, if you let yourself wonder why Mamie is.seen round with So-and-so 90 much, or remark that Blanche had lunch with Q married man the other day, or whisper that Ethel colors her hair, such talk will finally get to the person involved. 6he will be told 1t is you who are saying things about her. of course under tho promise of strict secrecy: and the of- Ace will be . less pleasant place to work in than before.
 Remember that 1t is not enough to refrain from gossiping yourself You must also refuse to let others gossip to you. The reputation you will estab- fish will be one good to have. one even the worst offenders in the gossip factory will respect

 way of sewing buttons on chil- @ dren's coats, etc. Make good
 sized knot in your thread, which should be fairly coarse. then place small pearl button on the in- side of the coat. Put the needle first through the material, starting from the right side of the garment, then through the small button, then back again through the material and right through the big button. Continue to stitch through and through until the button feels quite firm, then give the thread twist or two round the base of the top button and finish off secure ly. There will then be no fear of the buttons coming off or tearing away the cloth.

 ES9| HE grape cure is highly recom-
 mended to those who want to s have beautiful complexion, and one way of carrying it out is to take a wineglassful of the juice of freshly squeezed grapes every morn ing an hour before breakfast. At night before going to bed the face and neck should be spatted with fresh cream, which should be allowed to re- main on for about ten minutes, and then be washed off with moderately hot,water. The skin should be dried by soft dabblings with fine towel When the skin is quite dry the finger tips should be dipped in fresh grape juice and the face and neck bespatted with it. The juice should be left to dry on, and then the face should be fnassaged lightly to remove the rather strained feeling.

 freckles are not easily bleach A ed, yet they can be greatly re-
 duced in color if consistently given a treatment for bleaching them. A good remedy for freckIes on the arms and hands is made of: Cocoa but ter, four scruples; sweet almond oil, four scruples; oxide of zinc, two drams. borate of soda, one and a half grains; essence of bergamot, eight drops. This will keep the arms in splendid condition and prevent more freckles from coming. Now for rem- edy to cure them on the face: Elder flower water. four ounces. eau de CO., logne. one ounce. tincture of benzoin one-haf ounce, cucumber juice, two ounces. Take care there are no pim- pies or bad scratches on the face when this lotion is applied.

Priceless Records Destroyed.


Fire. originating from faulty wiring
occurred ar the Minidoka county court
house in Rupert at midnight last night
The place is a veritable fire trap and
practically nothing was saved of the
county records. which will cost in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 to replace, and
win require a bond issue to find the
money. The apology for vault proved
worthless as protection and not a
paper vas saved. In addition to this
the office furnishings, etc, in the sew
eral offices was a total loss.
The abstract companies have few
of the records. but they make no eff
fort to keep track of anything in the
shape Of marriage licenses, agreements,
or the multitude of things not effect %
ing realty that are filed with the
county clerk every day
The fire will probably be tho cause of
endless litigation over contracts daily
filed, but of which no proof now exists
In a word. the affairs Of the county
are in chaotic condition, even tn,

stroyed.

Birds Are Dying.


Reports received on Wednesday from
all parts of the county indicate "a very
serious situation with both the song
and game birds of the country. The
continued cold weather. with every
thing covered deep in SNOW, has made
it almost impossible for the birds to
secure food. The birds like the poor,
we have always with ms. but unlike the
poor. sometimes there is no organized
system of relief. Unless this is under
taken throughout the northwest within
the next few days it is only the fortu-
nate ones located close to where the

Cougars Feast on Deer Meat.

According to Al Sissons, who lives
on the Little North Fork the cougars
are making big inroads on the deer
The big cats are more numerous than
for several years and it is estimated
that every cougar kills on an average
Of two deer a week. Deer are plenti-
full this winter in the North Folk
country and the cougars seem to be
living high.
1t is not an uncommon sight to
walk along the river and find parts of
carcasses the prey being SO easy that
the cougars only eat what they want
and get a fresh deer when hunger
overtakes them again.
Only a short time ago Mr.. Sissons
was walking along the Little North
Fork and he found a deer not yet dead
but mortally wounded by the claws of
a cougar. II was so badly ripped and
torn that Mr.. Sissons killed the deer
to relieve it Of its suffering. The
trail in the snow indicated that the
deer escaped from the cougar by
jumping into the river, but was 50
badly wounded that it could so no

opposite side.

more deer arc killed by predatory
animals than by hunters and the stories

INFORMATION OF
SAME DIGNITY AS
AN INDICTMENT
Important Ruling Laid
Down by the Supreme
Court in Decision in Bon
neville County Case.

Informations are of equal dignity
with indictments. This ruling is laid
down by the supreme court in granting
the motion to ouash the temporary
writ of habeas corpus secured by Ed
+. Winn against the sheriff of Bonne-
vile county when he alleged that he
was being unlawfully detained follow
ing conviction of maintaining II NUS
ance or place in prohibition district
where he sold liquors. That tribunal
romands Winn to the custody of the
sheriff.
Winn waived preliminary eXamina-
ton after his arrest on July s, 1915,
the prosecuting attorney of that coun-
ty filed an information against him in
the district court At IA former term
of the court a grand jury was en-
paneled but did nothing with his
case. When Wfnn was arraigned he
refused to plead. The court entered II
! plea of not guilty, he was tried and
convicted, He was sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 and serve three months
in the county Jail.
Winn then applied to the supreme
court for a writ of habeas corpus
He contended that a defendant who
had been held to answer by a com
hitting magistrate cannot be tried
upon the information of the prosecut-
ing attorney when the court has con-
vened a grand jury between the time
the information was filed and the time
he is arraigned and enters his plea,
This raised unique point. The coun-
ty moved to quash the application.
What Court Says.
Passing on the issues involved Jus
tice Morgan, whose conclusions arc
concurred in by his associates says in
part:
1t will be readily seen that it was
the legislative intent to make informa-
tons of equal dignity with indictments
subject only to the limitations con-
tained in section s, article of the
constitution, to the effect that a de-

nation after commitment by a magis-

of the town. In the country districts
the loss among the birds is partially
among the song birds. although the
principal sufferers there arc the game
birds, particularly the Chinese pleas
ants and the quail.
An effort has been made in the city
to see that food is supplied the feath-
cred tribes. Unfortunately there are
apparently not a sufficient number of
people who have had their attention
attracted to the serious condition, and
only Il few are putting out food. Many
people do not appreciate fully the i'm
portant part played by the birds in
agriculture, so that a great many peo-
pie feel that when robin dies from
hunger or is ftozen to death, that the
fruitgrower and farmer is benefited.
