FolIies of Science.

The history of science has seven
problems which men in all ages more

ing: First, squaring the circle; second.

Use of Bacon Drippinqs.

Bacon drippings make splendid short
ening for light. flaky pie crust. 1t
takes just little less of the drippings
than of ordinary lard or vegetable
shortening. Use it for shortening in
spice cake, gingerbread or any dark
cake and note the delicious favor.
Spread rye bread with a thin layer
Of the pure drippings and sprinkle a
little salt on it. Add to this a thin
slice Of any salt meat and you will
have a delicious and highly nutritious
sandwich. The European housewife
has long made use of such sandwiches
for the between meal snack for grow
ing boys and girls.

NEURALGIA.

o Neuralgia means nerve pain. {
o Neuritis means Inflammation of {
o the nerve. In neuralgia the pain {
o comes and goes. In neuritis the {
o ache is steady and sticks closely {
o to the affected nerve. If the {
o nerve could be taken out and ex- {
o amined we could find nothing {
o abnormal in the case of neural {
o gia. In neuritis the nerve would {
o be found to be inflamed. The c
o question of what is behind the c
o pain Of neuralgia is more impor- c
o tant than the answer to the CRY c
o for relief. 1t must be remem- G
o bered that neuralgia is merely a G
o symptom, not a disease. Some @
o times malaria is the underlying @
o cause. Other times it may be .
o due to alcoholism, diabetes, lead o
o poisoning, govt, rheumatism or o
o Bright's disease. A diseased o
o tooth or a diseased ovary may O
D be responsible. In every case O
D treatment must include treat o
. ment OF the underlying cause. O

TWO AMERICAN SOLDIERS
WIN MILITARY HONORS
Decorated by King George of England
For Good Fighting With the Cana
dians ut Vfmy

LONDON-Two American lieuten-
ants of the Canadian army wear the
military cross as a reward for their
bravery and leadership under fire.
A. H. Pannill of Chatham, Va, and
Donald MacRae Of Washington. D. c.,
whose father is in the adjutatn-gen-
erals office, were decorated by King
George in recognition Of their valor.
Pannill, at Vimy Ridge took COM
mand of a company, captured part of a
second-line trench and established a
machine-gun position in crater be-
ed severe casualties. Pannill himself
though wounded by shrapnel, remained
on the job for "a hours consolidating
the gains. He was recently trans
ferred to the Royal Flying corps.
MacRae found that his majors
crown was keeping him out of action
because the army needed active lieu
tenants and was plentifully supplied
with major officers. The Washington
man was so anxious to fight that he
''pulfel two stars" from his sleeve and
took the rank Of lieutenant The act
for which he received the military
cross was performed on the vimy
front some time before the big assault.

MERIT THEY MAKE THEIR
MARK

The number of Idaho men who we're
given commissions for the showing
they made at the first training camp
held at the Preside is very gratifying.
That these young men won their places
through merit alone, not through pol
itics or through the use of money, to
buy their commissions, adds substan-
TALLY to the credit that is due them.
They have worked and worked hard
for this recognition from their super
ior officers and have shown by their
attitude that they are willing to con-
tinue their work. The official list of
commissioned officers contains the
home in Moscow or who have attend
ed college here. These are as follows:

VIII Be Held in Boise the Last Week
in September and Offers $4,000
In Premiums

Premium lists for the state fair OF
Idaho scheduled for the week begin
ming September "a. Secretary o. P.
Hendershot says of the fair:
"The state fair of Idaho is an insti-
tuition where the exhibits will reflect
the agricultural, livestock, horticul-
tural, mineral and industrial develop
ment of the state. 1t is educational in
all departments, imparting informa-
tion to visitors by giving them an OPP
portunity to learn for themselves. 1t
promotes agriculture. makes animal
more profitable, and from
it's general study the visitor can gain
a liberal education along agricultural
lines. No other institution is so
many-sided, nor has so many beneficial
angles as has an up-to- date state fair.
1t takes patience, judgment and clev-
erness to produce the very best. The
fair is an exhibition of samples which
others will strive to equal or exceli."
