Boise, Idaho.-The Idaho Legal
Advisory board, commissioned by
President Wilson to organize the bar
of the state OF Idaho 10 give advice
to all persons registered under the
se.ective draft act, Saturday reported
that the organization was about

committees is to organize board 10
each county.

ment require the local boards to mail,

each day Of the questionnaire. The
..registrant has seven days from the
time the QUESTIONABLE is mailed until
it must be properly filled. out and

board. This means that, beginning
December l5, and for 81 days there
after, $4,000 and upward of regis
trants in Idaho will be answering the
QUESTIONABLE submitted by the wal
department.
1t is the plan of the board to have
the attorneys so placed during the
81 day period that no registrant need

of the state militia. The militia has

Home guard organizations have
been formed in several counties of

MINERS PATRIOTIC
But Want Production, Not
Invested Capital Taxed.

Boise. State Mine Inspector r. N.
Bell has returned from Salt Lake
city, where hepattended the conference
of metal mine operators as delegate
at large from Idaho. The conference
wa; largely ATTENDED by prominent
mining men from six Of the leading
metal mining states Of the west.
Delegates were named to so to Wash
ington for conference with the gov
ernment authorities on vital subjects
affecting the industry.
The principal subjects discussed at
this meeting were the excess profit
tax as affecting mines and the pro-
posed fixing of the price and purchas
ing Of the silver production of the
country by the government and the
fixing of the price Of lead and zinc
Mr.. Bell said a brief but strong
resolution dealing with the tax ques-
tion was passed by the conference,
recognizing the necessity at this time
for profit tax on metal production
along with other industrial products
that have been favorably affected In
price by the war, but urging congress
to amend the present law so that it
will take the tax at the head and
affect all producers alike. With this
amendment the conference voiced the
sentiment 1f the mining Industry as
being with the government to the
extent of total contiScation Of theil
profits for war purposes, # it became
necessary.
Another resolution was submitted
to the secretary OF the treasury on th'
silver question which emphasized th'
unanimous opinion Of the conference
as follows: II the contemplate
action of the government Is baset
solely on the patriotic necessity o
needs of our allies in the war, ah
silver mine owners OF the Unlte'
States have no word Of protest t
utter aud no favor to ask beyond ex
pressing the hope that all the result
of the proposed action be most care
l fully considered. AS far as wlnnin
this war is concerned, they are wit

quently painted with some destroying
liquid will keep mites from becoming
dangerously numerous. The better way,
however, is to annihilate them entirely,
which may be done in the worst infested
house by keeping everlastingly at It
until there are none left to start new
colony.
When a place is once rid of mites,
great care should be taken in introduc-
ing birds from other yards, for, while
mites do not remain in great numbers
on the fowls during the day, it is quite
likely that few do and very few
can soon establish an enormous colony.

TasseIs of All Kinds.

TasSels are used on afternoon frocks
as well as on party dresses. Chinese
tasSelS. which are usually made of
green. black and blue. with possibly Il
bit of jade at the top, give color to a
dark gown. One is worn at the girdle
or one at each side of the hips. Tas-
sells are worn in every way, but they
are not always Chinese. Some are
made of colored crystals, of pearls of
rhinestones, of jet beads, of colored
silk floss and some of them are ap-
parently the kind that are sold in the
upholstery departments. 1t seems to
be the growing fashion to put some
kinds of tassel at each side of the
girdle. so, that it will hang just in
front of the hips. Evening wraps are
tied across the chest, with wide stream
ers that end in tasseIs; medieval
sleeves have their points held down
by tassels; trains are weighted with
tassel to keep them on the floor;
some of the new high shoes have tas-
sells at the top in the European fash
ion, and tiny tassels of ostrich feath-
ers or curled silk are used on deep
collars.

EGGS IN WATER GLASS

A western Nebraska subscriber asks
water to form solution for the pre-
.ervation of eggs. Nine or ten parts
water to one part water glass is the
usual proportion used for preserving
eggs for long period, but | have found
fifteen parts water to one part water
glass quite strong enough for few
months keeping that is worth while for
the producer or small consumer.
prefer to use the fall gathered eggs,
packing them during the molting period
when production is running low. Il
would seem best for farm poultry rais
ers to preserve these also to avoid mar
keting eggs in very small numbers OF
keeping them over-long in order to have
a case full to carry to market. This
latter practice is very commonly fol
lowed in the fall under mistaken i'm
pressions that so long as eggs are not
spoiled they are in good condition for
market, and it accounts for large pro-
portion OF the stale eggs that reach the
consumer at that season. 1t would be
much better for the quality of large
percentage of the eggs marketed dut-
ing the fall months if they were han
died in this way-put in water glass
solution as gathered and keep there
until enough are gathered to fill case
While they might be called preserved
eggs, they are certainly in much better
condition than eggs that are kept for
several weeks while the case is being
filled and then marketed as "fresh" "
eggs, and there is no valid reason for
excluding them from the market. Ii
they are kept six months or longer the
ease would be different, but even then
they would be in better condition than
eggs kept several weeks before market
ing.

of woman who has made a comfort

of her experience when the telephone
rang. "'You wish to go to Concord

QUALITY OF PROTEIN VARIES
Source Of Nutriment 10 Important ~
Well az Quantities Furnished,
Say Wisconsin ExpertA

Hart and Humphrey Of the Wiscon-
sin experimental station report that
there Is difference between the
quality Of proteins coming from vari-
GUS kinds of feeds. As an instance.
an animal is able to use more Of the
protein found in milk than in any
other article Of food. Sixty per cent
Of the protein In disttller's grain can
be used, 81 per cent of oilmeal, 45
per cent of gluten feed and 60 per
cent Of skim milk powder whea fed
with corn.
An animal producing from 40 to 45
pounds of milk daily and receiving NO
skim milk powder stood no nitrogen,
but rather drew from her system in
proportion to the amount demanded.
No more protein was fed in the ration
when the skim milk powder was used |;
the results were simply owing to the
fact that in one form the protein was
usable, while in the other 1t was not.
The source Of nutriment is. therefore
important as well US the qualities fur
nished.

0svaiior, Capital Of Native Indian
State, Built on Top Of Rock 500
Feet in Height

South Of Agra In the hot half-desert
country of central India a great rock
looms oct OF the fiat plain. The sides
Of the butte. as 1t would be called in
the Rocky Mountain country, rise
sheer for abut.t 300 feet. aud the area
OF Its surface rs large enough to sup

by quarter OF Il mile in breadth.
This is Gwalior. the capital OF a ma
tive Indian state under British domin-
alton, and once one Of the strongest
military positions In India.
Two other cities are instantly called
to mind by the sight of Gwalior-One.
the neighbor city of Chitor, perched on
its rock to the southwest, the other
the Pueblo Indian village of Acoma,
just half way around the world in the
New Mexico desert. All three of them
were picked for their military value,
and all three have OutIived their use

A narrow winding road cut out Of
the rock leads from the plain to the
citadel above. At the top of the road
Is the beautiful painted palace. It's ex-
terror tiled over with Ornamented, high
ly glazed tiles Of workmanship
whose secret has been lost. Color and
design are each perfect after their
fashion, making the palace one Of the
sights Of India. Inside, alas. it is not
sight but smell. The bats. the
multitutInous Indian bats, have taken
possession: they swarm here as In no
other place for hundreds of miles
around. and no creature with a nose
eau remain to admire the Interior Of
the painted palace.
