SENATE FINANCE PLAN FAILS
To HIT EXCESSIVE PROFITS
Revised Revenue Bill Write By Senators Penrose and
Simmons Approved by Wall Street-Minority
Report By Finance Committee.

NEW FORK, July 26.-The Joseph
Fels international commission has is
sued the following statement:
Although President Wilson specific
ally warned congress against inflat-
Ing prices and burdening future gen.
erations with huge bond issues, the
Senate finance committee has reported
4 war revenue bill that raises by tax
alton at least 100000, 900. less than
will be required for the first ye;ir of
the war, thereby increasing by so
much the amount that must be raised
by bond issues.
Secretary McAdoo's plan was to
float a s2,000,0O0,0O0 bond issue and
to ask congress to raise about $1,000
100000 by taxation. The house bill
provided s1,S0O.O00,000 chiefly from
income and excess profits taxes. The
senate finance committee has rewrit-
ten the bill and cut this amount to
$1,650.0O0.O0O.
Spares Milhonaires.
The senate bill spares multi-mil-
Iionaires and the munitions industries
that are making enormous profits, but
does not ease the burdens of the aver
age citizen. The income tax for in
comes Of $1,000 and $4,000 remains
the same. The tax OH incomes above
$4,000 is reduced. Inheritance taxes
are cut out Of the bill entirely. So is
the tax on 1916 incomes.
The revised revenue bill was written
under the personal direction of sena-
tor Boies .Penrose Of Pennsylvania,
ranking Republican member of the
finance committee, and Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, southern
conservative and chairman of the
committee. Penrose represents the
Iron, steel, railroad and whiskey in
terests of Pennsylvania. The revised
bill has the hearty approval Of Wall
street

.ou Whole
Communities

Reports reaching our office indi-
cate that whole communities are
studying to see what is likely to
be the subject of our FIVE chapters

Bingham County
Red Cross Work
Sweets for Soldiers; Aberdeen tc
Organize

Every patriotic woman in America
is interested in Red Cross work and
even in the Bingham county chapter
there is SO much to be done and so
much to be told about their work.
Aberdeen has been busy and have
secured the membership of a 100
and are now anxious for some of the
Blackfoot ladies, who understand
the work, to come down and or
ganize them into permanent auxil-
iary. The matter was discussed at
the Tuesday meeting and some COM
petent person will go down next
week.
The knitting committee has pur-
chased $40 worth Of yarn and are
very anxious that it be knitted up
into the useful articles so needed
by our soldiers. General Pershing
made an especial appeal to the wo-
men of America, asking that muf-
f1ers, caps. socks and pulse warmers
be knitted for the army of American
boys. In his message he stated that
the winters in France were cold and
damp, and therefore the army need
ed warm clothing and that they all
preferred homemade. In his written
appeal he pictured the untold agony
that the armies OF our allies have
suffered from the cold for lack of
just such articles as he is asking the
women Of this country to make.
Mrs. Spencer, violinist of ability,
would like to give a musical concert,
assisted by Mrs. G. G. Aller of this
city, sometime in September for the
benefit of the Red Cross. The only
expense to the local chapter would
be her actual expenses. The matter
was left in the hands of the enter
tainment committee.
A resolution was passed to the ef-
feet that every Red Cross member,
as far as possible, should furnish a
glass Of jelly, and bottle of grape
juice, to be sent to our army in SER
vice and in training for Christmas.
They will be sent to headquarters
sometime in October, from where
they will be distributed. Many or
ganizations over the country are
making like plans and it is hoped
that every American soldier will be
made happy with glass of jelly
and grape juice-"just like mother
used to make" at the Yuletide. Amy
one, whether Red Cross member or
not, who would like to become a
donor of jelly or grape juice for this
purpose. will be very welcome ito
help in this cause.
The letter from Senator Brady,
in which he acknowledged and ex-
pressed his appreciation for the tele-
gram sent by the Red Cross chapter,
concerning the using of the United
States grain for the manufacture of
intoxicants. was read and applauded.

Bogus Check Artist
Hits Blackfoot

They say he was shrewd, as all
men of his calibre are, which fact
was evidenced by the way In which
he cashed some IL or more bogus
checks. On Friday man by the
name of William Morris deposited
q small sum of money in the Black
foot City bank, wrote several checks
on several business houses, which
they found were good, his bank ac-
count having not yet been exhausted.
On Saturday he made purchases,
amounting to $50 or more and is
sued checks for them. Monday
morning to the alarm of their finan-
cial sense, the merchants and busi-
ness men discovered that the checks
were not substantiated by bank
account. 1t was impossible to re-
claim their goods, inasmuch as Will
liam Morris, the man who put one
over" on them, had disappeared.
Where he came from, or his present
whereabouts are unknown.

TEN DOLLAR GOLD PIECE
AS SOURCE OF TROUBLE

Little Marcel Parkinson, the
daughter of G. s. Parkinson while
playing around the house swallowed
a $40 gold piece, that was laying
on the table. For a short time she
was very i'll, but soon showed i'm
provement and the physician thought
that there was little danger. Mon
day she was very weak, was suffer-
ing considerably and pictures showed
that the money was lodged tightly
in her throat. She was taken to
Pocatello, Tuesday morning by Miss
Mildred Wright and DR.. Clothier re-
moved the troublesome money. Miss
Parkinson was very brave about the
whole matter, but for time at least
1t is probable that she will have
slight aversion for gold coin, differ
ent from most young ladies, to be
sure.

sJOsTROM MAKES A GUESS

c. C. Sjostrom was in this week
and said he was interested in the
prize articles to be published soon
He said If he just had one guess as
to what 1t is to be about he would
guess roads and bridges. He said
that new pattern ought to be
adopted for the edges of a bridge
so vehicle will not have to jump
straight up to get on. That If the
edge were beveled or had two slopes
like q mansard roof it would be pos
sible to get some dirt or clay banked
on it and make clear gliding sur
face across the bridge or culvert in
stead Of making a jumping jack Of
each traveller. He complimented our
road overseer about the holes in the
Doud lane.

ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE

The hearts of many Blackfoot
people were made glad and yet sad,
Saturday and Sunday when they saw
and spoke to Bert Pennington and
Louis Simons, who were here on a
short leave of absence from Boise,
where they are members of the First
Idaho field hospital corps. The
young men looked remarkably we'll
in uniform, were sunburned, liked
the training and were fine specimens
of the true American soldier. OF the
other Blackfoot boys in training In
Boise, and there are 12 in all, they
brought encouraging reports and
Blackfoot need well be proud that
she is represented by such fine man
hood, not only in Boise, but in the
various other camps where our boys
are located

with them and will visit for a few
days with his father, Captain W. e.

the satisfaction of the visitors. Per-

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele in
ITS that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
1t was DR.. Pierce Of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing SYMPHONIC
of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than hthia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

As February draws to close, hog
men look forward to one of the most
important times of the year, in fact
the most critical time as concerns the
profits or losses from the years work,
Where the hogs are concerned a large
percentage of pigs narrowed in the
early spring means greater prospects
for the market in the early fall.
Proper management of the brood
sow before and after narrowing is
very important. Investigations show
that so to 90 per cent of all the dry
matter of the unborn litter are de-
posted in the uterus during the last
so days of pregnancy so that our care
must include this period and feeding
must be done accordingly.
The rations should be increased at
least so per cent over the wintering

BROOD sow CARE HAS EFFECT ON PROFIT

penSive equipment. An ideal shelter
must be warm, free from dampness,
well ventilated and with plenty of sun
shine. Guard against dark, damp,
filthy stables and manure piles, also
crowding the sows in close quarters
where they can pile up, causing them
to lose their filters.
Exercise promotes healthy body ac-
tivities and as this is essential in
pregnant sows we must devise some
means of compelling them to exercise,
especially the last few weeks before
narrowing. Lack of exercise causes
internal fat to accumulate, causes con-
stipation and retards normal body ac-
tivities. We can best exercise our
sows by placing at least part of the
feed at the far end of the pen or lot,
causing them to walk to and from the
trough. For the brood sow plenty OF
exercise is as essential as scien-
tifically balanced ration. The SOW
when exercising picks up feeds and
mineral matter that she knows is
necessary to her system.
Proper care at narrowing Tune VIII
pay the highest dividends. The num-
Der of pigs raised to weaving time is
the basis Of computing the value of
SOW. Sows should be fed immedi-
ately before narrowing the ration that
she will receive after narrowing. This
will prevent any indigestion due to a
sudden change in diet.
A few days before the calendar time
of narrowing put her in the pen where
| she is to farrow and cut down on her
| feed. If feed has been laxative the
sow will come to narrowing time with
little fever and in good condition
| The pen must be warm enough for
the pigs, but not hot, as is sometimes
the case, because this only tends to
| increase the fever and temper of the
| sow.
After narrowing, do not feed fol
the first "a hours, giving only clear
water. Her first meal should be &
thin slop or bran mash. Gradually in
crease the amount until she is on full
feed about ten days after narrowing
/ Remember that for many weeks Wa
are feeding the young pigs through
their mother, and any Irregularities IL
her system are quickly indicated IL
the young.
