AMI NATURE WONDERFUL

The Pipe.
The pipe is a cage for smoking
matches. The Indians were the. first
ones to smoke pipe, and after see
ing a movie of an Indian camp we
can understand why they can smoke
pipes.
The squaws put up the wigwams,
carted in kindling wood, cooked, and
all the time took care of the kids by
navigating around with the youngish
chiefs and sqUawesses harnessed on
their mas back while the old bucks,
chiefs, ex-chiefs, assistant chiefs,
etc., lay around busily pushing the
wind backwards through their pipes
to manufacture smoke.
From what we. know about pipes
at that those he Indians In a way
were working just as hard as the she
Indians.
Now here's what we're trying to
drive at about pipes: In these mod
ern times we can't figure out how
feIlas with work to do can find time
to smoke a pipe (of course, sporting
editors and politicians aren't count
ed in on this). AS we said before, go
back in history a bit. Those Indians
were either one-stepping the war
path or smoking pipes and both Jobs
kept them busy while they were
awake.
In smoking pipe an hour felIa
wastes 8 hours time and couple Of
gross Of matches and uses up enough
pipe cleaners, the material Of which
would make nice winter overcoat.
We suppose you'll say, We'll, what
kind of a pipe are you smolhng?''
Now, Clarence, we've smoked pipes |
from the clay molar grinders to turk
ish hookahs and they're all the same. |
It's all right to smoke a pipe, if |
you've got a lot Of time and money |
and can lay around at Palm Beach.

Similar to the Crane Case.

In a decision handed down Satur-
day In the case of the State OF Idano

decision was written by Chief Justice
Bulge and concurred in by his asso-
iciates on the bench. The appeal was
taken from the Judgment entered in
the Fourth judicial district for Mini
doka county, Judge Edward A. Walt
ers presiding.
1t is held by the supreme court that
section 25 session laws 1909 making
the transportation of Intoxicating
liquors into a prohibition district, or
into any point or place in this state.
where the sale of Intoxicating liquors
is prohibited by law a misdemeanor,

the fifth or fourteenth amendments of
the constitution of the United States
nor the provisions of section l, article
1, of the constitution of the state of
Idaho.

Passing on the constitutionality of
the law the supreme court says: "Since

which is probably one Of the most
gruesome that has been recorded Of
life in trenches:
One night as working party I'M

ing down communication trench, they
were fred upon from close quarters.
On inquiry Lieutenant Rathbone as
certained that the shots came from a
soldier who had run amuck, and had
posted himself with loaded rifle and
fixed bayonet farther down the trench.
Lieutenant Rathbone borrowed a rifle,
and, accompanied by Corporal Field
wick, advanced along the trench until
in view of the mentally deranged man.
They chen advanced with rifles at the
ready; the officer calling upon the man
to surrender. Receiving no reply, they
then dropped their rifles and rushed
him, and after disarming him took him
to the nearest dressing station. Cor
poral Feldwick, who is a prisoner OF
war, has also been awarded the Albert

of the construction methods should
aim to attain will be summarized
briefly.
(D The questions Of location, de-
sign, drainage, grading, ETC., are, If,
anything, more important in the case
of sand-clay roads than in the case Of
earth roads.
(2) The amount of clay contained in
a finished sand-clay road surface
should be only slightly more than suf-
ficient to fill the voids in the sand.
Ordinarily about one part Of clay to
two parts of sand gives satisfactory
results, though the proper proportion
for any particular case can be deter
mined best by experiment.
(3) For average country-road traffic
and stable roadbed, the depth of
sand-clay surface should be about
eight inches after it is compacted. If
clean sand and pure clay were used to
make the mixture, the respective
depths of the sand layer and the clay
layer. required would be approximate
~ eight inches and four inches, meas
ured loose. It is customary to decrease
the surface thickness from center to
sides, with a feather edge extending
out over the shoulders, but this prac-
tice makes it necessary for most of
the traffic to use the center of the

edge Of the surface are liable to break
through the surfacing material, 49,
(4) In constructing a sand-clay sur
face, the two constituent materials
should be thoroughly and intimately
mixed together in all cases. In maxi
ing artificial mixtures, therefore, much
blowing and narrowing are required.

How to loosen a tender corn

without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;

for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority. 49,
He says that few, drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upoa
a tender, aching corn, instantly re.
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once. and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
