BASKET BALL LOCALS
LOSE AND WIN ONE
Locals Play Two Games in One Day
Teamwork Developing In Fine
Shape, Says Coach.

Both bad and good luck accom-
panied the high school basketball
team on their trip to Burley and Hey
burn last Friday. The former they
defeated by the score of 20 to 20, and
the latter IN hard fought game won
from Twin Falls by the score of Isl
to 15
The local boys were somewhat
handicapped in the games with Hey
burn, owing to the fact that it was
their second game for the day and
that they were unused to the indoor
football style Of play employed by the
Hepburn quintet. Furthermore the
gymnasium was covered with a very
low ceiling, thus preventing the loon
style of basket shooting which in
the past has been one of Twin Falls
strongest point gamers. In spite of
these handicaps the local boys show
ed splendid teamwork and played an
all-around good game.
Well have a championship team
yet, stated Coach Nafziger. soon af-
ter the game. "The boys are de-
veloping a teamwork that will carry
us through the season in fine shane"
The first game, which was with
Burnley, was characterized by clean
playing, no personal fouls being held
against either team. In four previous
games, from 9 to "a personal fouls
have been made by both teams.
During the first half, Strong of the
Twin Falls team made four field goals
Neuman. two, and GLASGOW. one. OF
the Burley team. Craner made five
The score for this half was IA to 10
with Twin Falls in the lead.
Neuman made eleven points in the
second half, making him a total of fiji
teen points for the game. Burlev
shot five more field goals, but lost the
half 10 to Is. The score for the game
was 20 to 20.
The game with Hepburn showed up
the teamwork which for the past two
weeks has been absent from the Twin
Falls team. The local aggregation
held down the opposing team to the
best of their ability, but lost the game
by three points
The one basket made by Twin Falls
in the first half. was credited to Nc
Cracken. Hepburn managed to get
away with five before the gong sound
ed.
The second half was a loser for Hey
burn, but, according to those who wit
messed the game, it did not last quite
long enough. Twin Falls was credit
ed with Is points. when the game end
ed. while Hepburn walked off the floor
with three points to spare, or a total
of IS.
The Bull team plays here Friday.
/ February s. at o'clock Although
Bull won from Twin Falls, at Bull.
three weeks ago. the general opinion
is that Twin Falls will put it over
them by a large margin.

DR. PICKETT SAYS LOCAL
CENSORSHIP MAY BE NEEDED

The following self-explanatory cor
respondence relative to the question
of local censorship for motion pic
lures, between DR.. j. f. Shepherd,
pastor of the Presbyterian church of
this city and the M. E. Board of Tenn
perance at Washington, d. c., has
been submitted to the TIMES as in
dicating the necessity of local CEN
sorship for movies under certain con-
ditions and as showing that in some
places, notably in the state of Calf
ornia, the motion picture shows were
prostituted by the saloon element:
Twin Falls, Ida, jan %, 1917.
Rev. c. T. Wilson, d. D., Secretary of
M. e. Board of Temperance,
Washington, d. c..
My Dear DR.. Wilson: Last summer
a little lad of eleven years shot to
death splendid man, as he discover
ed the land and a small brother rob-
bling his home. The lad confessed to
having witnessed a movie play in one
ed the lad and a small brother rob-
berry and holdup at the point of a gun
Recently some of our shows have
become so suggestive of vice and
crime that men on the streets have ex-
pressed in strongest terms, their dis
gust.
At a recent meeting, attended by
over half a hundred representative
men, including the Mayor of the city,
the superintendent of schools, a for
mer city solicitor, lawyers, doctors,
and ministers, it was unanimously
agreed to favor a certain form of To-
cal censorship for the protection of
our wouth.
Immediately the movie syndicate got
busy, spending over 500 in adver-
Using in our three city papers, in
stock ads, but using a local theatre
proprietor as their mouthpiece Their
first attempt was in the form of a
Fable" and consisted in calling all
the splendid men who favored censor
ship, such names as Fossil, Moss
back" and Fanatic" supposing this
to be convincing argument Their
second, a full page ad, brings your
splendid board into such prominence
and association, that l am mailing it
to you for your consideration. May I
hear from you as to this method of
advertising?
Very sincerely yours,
J. F. SHEPHERD.
To this DR. Pickett replies for the
board, under date of Feb. 1
After calling attention to that part
of the ad which declares that PRO
lection must come, he adds, I'VE
sought to stop the progressive prosti-
tuition of censorship by the liquor
traffic in California. We have favor
ed federal censorship as THE only
means of getting this great and dan
gerous power into the hands Of men
with sufficient intelligence and Gull
ture to use it without abusing it. But
in the absence of such federal board.
local censorship may be necessary
and successful. Indeed such has
been the case without doubt. The ex-
hibition of indecent and similarly i'm
proper pictures can be, and should
be prosecuted, whether you get your
censorship or not"
Cordially yours,

HUMAN ORGANS
MADE INTO PICTURES
X-RAY oUTDoNE.

NY IL W. DIV In AAs Afsl
A recent issue of the British Medical
Journal explains a remarkable discovery
of DIR. James Schcrer and describes u
new process of photography by which
an abscess of the liver or the kidneys
can be photographed from living pa
TENTS This will be invaluable because
so many people suffer from kidney dis
ease, and If it can be recognized in time
they, no doubt, can be saved and life
prolonged. Such photographs as can be
obtained by this new process will show
whether there is q blockade in the intes-
tines or not, whether the kidneys are
normal and able to do the great burden
put upon them.
Unfortunately, what the liver can't
take care of passes on to the kidneys,
and the intimate relation between the
two often causes disease of the kid
neys. One of the poisons retained with
in tho system is uric acid in excess.
Death would OCCUR If the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from tho blood.
The danger signals are backache, de.
pressions, aches and pains, heavinsss
drowsiness. iritabiity, headaches, chill
mess, rheumatic twinges, swollen ioint'
or govt.
This can he avoided by stimulating
the kidneys TO Increased action, and be
cause of its tonic effect on this organ
would advise any one TO purchase An
uric (Which is TO had nowadays at al
most any drug store), and take il
three times a day. together with a mint
of hot water an hour before meals. BY
getting rid Of the uric acid you can pre-
vent and cure rheumatism, govt and th'
pains and aches due to this uric aciC
stored within the system.
I have found in practice that Anuri
double strength, is more potent thai
/ lthia and in most cases it will dissoiv'
the uric acid rs hot water does sugar.

sure CURE FOR infant
PARALYSIS BY SUMMER
By The United Press.


CHICAGO, March DIR. Maximil-
Ian Herzog expects TO have perfected
a sure cure for infantile paralysis be
fore the fatal hot summer months, he
ANNOUNCED today
Already" said DR.. HerzOg, who has
made an exhaustive study OF the
cause, prevention and cure OF the dis
ease which caused so many deaths
and so much distress last summer,
"the microbe which causes infantile
paralysis has been definitely isolated
and experiments are being made to
locate an anttoxin which effectively
stamps out the disease among sheep
and cattle.
I'VE hope TO have perfected an ef-
fective antitoxin for human beings by
summer
The Chicago health authorities have
enlisted prominent physicians, bac-
teriolOgists, nurses. wOmen's clubs
and civic organizations in a concerted
effort to check the disease before Il
gets a start in Chicago this year.
