Man Who Flirts With Death Here

Moscow will have an opportunity
to see some sensational stunts tonight
and tomorrow night as the famous
dare-devils Mint and Jeanette De
Ronda have arrived. They will appear
with their sensational show at the
Strand theater. De Ronda has leaped
from high bridges, jumped from
speeding air-panes with a parachute,
dynamited balloons in the air, jumped
from high buildings and in many other
ways taken his life in his hands to
thrill the public.
During the winter carnival in ST.
Paul, De Ronda dove into the icy wa
ters of the Mississippi river from the
high bridge. A hole was cut in the
ice to allow the 200-foot plunge Dur
ing the Minnesota State fair he leaped
from the Minneapolis court house
tower, to the street below with a
small parachute strapped to his back
De ROnda lost his left arm in an |
airplane accident, the machine falling

LIVES WITHOUT FOOD
FOR OVER FIVE YEARS
University of Idaho Professor Tells
Scientific Paper of Unusual
Experiment

Five foodless years! Just as the
ranchman' horse had learned how to
get along without eating, he unfOrtun-
ately "up and died" All animal organ
isms would doubtlessly meet sim
liar fate, but certain small beetles in
the larvae stage have recently lived
without food for something over five
years. The experimenter, Prof. ]. E.
Wodsadalek, of the University of Ida
no, tells in Science New York; how
of specimens were placed in
sterilized walls to find out how long
they could exist without food. Newly
Matched larvae lived over four months
without ever having eaten. The others
resisted death for periods varying with
heir size and age, the last one only
'uccumbing after five years, one
month and 80 days of starvation. The
arvae dwindle in bulk, but are ready
o eat at the end of their fast, and
hen grow again to normal size

Sales of Red Cross Seals Most Crafty.
ing at Many Points in
Latah County

The patriotic demand of Moscow cit
liens for the Red Cross Christmas
seals has not only kept up marvellous
ly but continues to increase in the
most gratifying manner. At postoffice
and stores, the sale is brisk. Remit
tances come from over the county in
generous amounts. Recent purchas-
ers are the Kendrick State Bank,
Deary Drug Co.; Claus Eichner, Ken
dricF; Potlatch Lumber Co. of Pot
latch, and Ole Bohman, Troy.
The city of Troy, which has been so
active in all patriotic fields
of war work, has displayed its we'll
known and appreciated zeal in the
sale of seals. DR.. Severns, chairman
of the civilian relief committee there,
has the matter in hand and is making
his consignment go like the proverb-
ial hot cakes. A hurry-up-orde plac-
ed by telephone was sent down this
week to supplement a supple which
was entirely exhausted 80 minutes aft
sr being placed on sale.

Merchandise Sold Under a

Money talks. The housewife should

products employ the ney-back-if-not-satisfed
policy of merchandising Such deserving
housewives patronage and usually get it.
No matter how good manufacturer
may say his product is-if he lacks courage
offer refund Of purchase price, buyer not satisfied he
displays lack of faith his goods In such the
purchaser all skand there is always risk when the
maker of merchandise refuses stand by his goods with
money back guarantee.
To make this point clear consider
the advertising of certain brand of baking
powder The producers of this baking powder abolish the
uncertainty of buyers getting full moneys worth every

satisfied with bake day results
Their advertisements state that their
product is superior they say that it is unfailing

they assert that You save when buy and you

act to provide
further for the national security anC
defense by encouraging the produc-
ton, conserving the supply, and con-
trolling the distribution of food prod
ucts and fuel This act was very
sweeping. To accomplish its pur-
poses it gave the president power to
appoint boards and commissioners to
carry out the various lines of work
necessary, and gave these boards and
commissioners the power to appoint
SubOrdinateS, and to make suitable
rules and regulations for carrying on
the work.
The penalties provided for persons
violating the law, or the regulations
issued under it, are quite severe, pro-
viding for fines not exceeding $4,000,
or Imprisonment not exceeding two
years, or both, and specifically makes
each violation separate offense
Under this law the president has
appointed several boards and COM
missions, including the grain COM
mission, the railway board, the food
commissioner, the fuel administrator,
and others. He then appointed the
federal council of defense whose
duties it is to carry out the purposes
of the act, to aid in carrying out the
work of the different boards and COM
missions, to coordinate their work, to
advise about and harmonic the work,
and in many cases to supervise it
where necessary.
To assist this national council,
state councils have been organized in !
each state in the union, and in these
states county councils are now being '

THE DEFENSE COUNCIL

defense councils is extended to tn
smallest governmental unit.
These separate councils all work to
gether, in harmony, and their power
reaches from the humblest member tt
| the president. No member of these
councils has the power to enforce
obedience to any law or regulation
or to punish disobedience. Neither
has a postmaster, or state auditor
or county treasurer, the right to pun
ish disobedience to any law, state or
national.
This belongs to the departments of
justice, state and national. The coun-
ellis of defense, however, are instruct
ed to get evidence of any violations of
laws or regulations and report to the
department of justice; to report any
reasonable acts, or persons, that JUS
tice may be done and the country pro-
tected in this time of war They are
also instructed to aid in any of the
work done under the act referred to
above, and in any other undertaking
to further war preparation and pro-
vide for the comfort and welfare of
,ur soldiers, and the allies.
This includes not only the mobiliza-
ion and registration of soldiers; the |
selling of bonds; the conserving OF
Gods, and fuel but extends also to
he work of the Red Cross, the Y. NJ.

ions. In carrying out this work the
efense councils are not simply work.

lent, but they are also carrying out

This work can only be carried to

mes. This should be done. In this
ay their work will be successful, and

Red Cross First Aid

The Red Cross first aid term will

gates herself for military duties. 1t is
designed to be of benefit in the
home The classes will be kept small,
so as to give each member the great

Are you able to render service to
the wounded boys on their return
home? One of them may be yours!
If not, and you want to be of real
service, join the first aid classes to be
held at Red Cross headquarters one

OLD LOOKS?

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look
older than they should. They age
faster and the appearance of gray hair
or baldhead in early years is, indeed,
often sign of uric acid. The face
appears lean and haggard, lines and
wrinkles appearing in young men or
women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest. Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. Obtain at any drug
sore small package Of Anuric which
is TO be taken before meals, in order to
expel the uric acid from the system The
painful effects of backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, govt, due to uric acid in
the blood should quickly disappear after
treatment with Anuric.

You've begun to expect that as one
