started Mrs West established a resi-

been her home ever since.
Mrs West has been in falling health
for about a year and for the past five
months has been belfast. Since the
death of her son, W. A. West, she has
been depressed and often expressed
a desire for the end to come. She has

daughter preceded her to the great
beyond.
Grandma West was one of the best
known of the early pioneers, owing
to the fact of her long residence in
American Falls where all had to come
for supplies. Probably there is not
one of the pioneers of the seventies or
eighties living within fifty miles OF
American Falls who did not know her
Most of the residents of the county
who came before 1908 were numbered
among her acquaintances, as well as
many who have come since. Her IA
miliar figure will be missed, and al
though she had lived her allotted time
and was ready to go, her death will
be sincerely regretted in many homes

ENLISTMENT NOT EXCUSE
FOR DRAFTED MEN
Men Who Enlist After Being Called
Not Exempt From Penalty for Fail
ure to Report.

Provost Marshal General CrOwder'
in a telegram sent to Governor Ernest
Lister of Washington. Saturday says
that drafted men are not exempt from
penalty for failure TO report to their
local boards even if they have enlist
ed in the army or navy voluntarily
The government comedies, according
to the telegram received by the gov
ernor, that the navy department sent
erroneous instructions to its naval
recruiting stations relative to this mat
ter.
Provost General Crowder's tele-
gram to Governor Lister reads:
"An erroneous instruction has been
sent by the navy department to naval
recruiting stations, to the effect that
persons could voluntarily enlist in the
navy after having been called by a
local board. The attention OF the
navy department has been called 70
this error and it is being rectitied by
telegraph.
Inform all local boards that after
a person has been called he cannot
voluntarily enlist in the military OF
naval service. and that such voluntary
enlistment will not protect him from
the penalty of the law for failure tc
report to the local board"

GRAssHOPPERs CAUSING DAMAGE

From the Rockland valley come re-
ports that grasshoppers have appear
ed in such large numbers as to threat
en- serious losses to farmers. If a
vigorous campaign is waged against

TO bring on a larger crop next year
Several farmers near American Falls
have practically cleared the hoppers
from their places by using the follow
ing formula supplied by the Power

number are H. A. Lang of the River

that a crumbly mash is formed. Avoid

or early in the morning before sun-up'
similar formula comes to the

METROPOLITAN SERVICE
COMES FOR ADVERTISERS
Press Places BOnnet-BrOWn Talent at
Free Disposal OF Local Business
Men.


The same advertising service as that
used by the New York Times and News
and other large metropolitan news
papers is now available to the enter
prising merchants of American Falls
through the business office of the
American Falls Press. The Press.
through considerable effort has sue
ceeded in contracting With the Bonnet
Brown company of Chicago for the use
of their advertising service. which un-
til recently has been offered only to
metropolitan papers and few of the
leading country weeklies.
The effect of this arrangement is to
add to the Press corps of artists ex-
pert advertising men and copy writers
whose talent will be available at all
times to the local advertisers. Parts
of the service have been sold to indi-
vidual firms in large cities, but the
Press has succeeded in securing ex
elusive use of all departments for this
territory.
The B0nuet-Brown company ha.
long held an enviable reputation
among large advertising concerns
which have thus been enabled to draw
trade from rural communities through
more effective advertising The Bon
net-BrOwn company have perfected ;
plan whereby this same service is nov
extended to the leading country pub
locations giving them the same adver
tising advantages as their city brothers
The Press is glad to be able to plac
this service at the free disposal O
its advertisers.
Advance supplements of the adveI
tising service are now at the Pres
office and a brief inspection of theI
will convince our business associate
that they are supreme in the field {
advertising service. The advertisin
presented in them carries an artist
touch and selling appeal that will col
vert the most pessimistic avertise
1t has long been the object of the Pres
to obtain an advertising service thi
would do justice to the local me
,, chants. This has been its OppOrtuni
and it will be pleased to explain
{ detail how the service can best
used

OsteoDathv Is Not Nevv..

The principles of osteopathy have
been known and practised in iso-
lated instances for hundreds of years
History is dotted here and there with
accounts of mysterious cures" by
manipulation of the body. Instances
are recorded where certain move
ments have accomplished wonderful
cures" of cripples supposed to be
manned for life
These supposed mysterious and
wonderful restorations to health af-
ter years of suffering were no more
nor less than the reduction of old
partial dislocations which were caus-
ing pressure upon vessels and nerves.
Similar experiences led DR.. A. 7.
Still, to believe that, if slight mis-
placements in bony tissue could cause
such radical departure from normal,
there was every reason to believe
other tissues might also get IN abnor-
NAL relationship and cause disease
by pressure upon surrounding struc-
lures
DIR. Still or the "Old Doctor" as
the osteOpathic profession knows him,
was an army surgeon during the
Civil War Every surgeon IS familiar
with the terrible tearing and .rending
of flesh and bone by the large calibre
soft bullets from the comparatively
low powered rifles of that time. DR..
Still was furnished with a super
abundance of material and exper-
ience- It was on the battle field and
after the war that he founded os-
teopathy He discovered to his
great surprise that any disease re-
sponded just as readily and IN a
much shorter time to mechanical
treatment, sl1illfdlly applied, than
any other method Typhoid fever,
pneumonia, and other fevers as well
as non-febri1 ailments yielded to pro-
| per manipulative treatment This
was a revelation and the beginning
of revolution IN medical science.
DR.. Still became more and more
enthusiastic over his @bone setting
as peope called It He decided to
start school at Kirksville, Mo. This
school was started about thirty-five
years ago Today there are eight
other schools. There Is one or more
located at the following places: New
York, Chicago, Boston, Kansas City,
New Orleans and Los Angeles
/ About seven thousand practitioners
are scattered throughout the world
The osteopathic college course Gov
ers the same subjects as the NJ d.
college with one exception materia
medica, and In addition the princi-
pies and practice Of osteopathy-
The time required to become q
graduate osteopathic physician is
four years of eight months each.

taught IN II. D, and osteopathie col
