CALL ISSUED TO
WOMEN IN BOISE
More Activity in Civic and
Public Affairs Urged by
the Council of Women
Voters.

Running parallel to the Increased
interest which women are displaying in
civic affairs in other states Is the call
which the Boise Council of Women
Voters has issued to the women Of
Boise. This society is beginning an
endeavor to secure for the women Of
the state q more intimate association
with the administration Of public Of
fices.
Recently 1t asked the judges of the
district and Justice courts to recognize
women in calling the juries and also
asked incoming state officials to place
women conformity on boards and in
clerkships with men. The movement
to place q woman on the city council
has been under way for the past few
months and it is expected that the
candidate will be chosen soon by the
women.
GALL ISSUED TO WOMEN.
Following Is the call:
The Boise chapter, National Coun-
ell of Women Voters, extends greetings
to all women in Boise and sends this
appeal for a fuller activity in sharing
civic responsibilities:
The prominence and agitation of
woman suffrage as world issue
have placed an obligation upon women
voters to be worthy examples of the
new station which the womanhood of
the world is entering.
Tho United States government has
recognized the change which women
have assumed by placing upon one of
the new coins a design of a woman
standing at nopen gate. The women
who have passed through this gate into
a new land are held in judgment by
the rest Of humanity, both that portion
which has opened the gate and that
portion which seeks to close 1t.

for equal privileges with manhood. is
now expected to exhibit an ability
equal to mans and in addition retain
its feminine gifts.
THE women in Idaho have had the
ballot for 20 years and the question
has broadened away from the old
query, DO the women vote and how p
to the new question, Are women bear
ing the civic responsibilities equally
with men?'
"A glance over the state will show
that, however worthy may be the type
of it's women. they are nevertheless
not sharing with the men the gravest
and highest responsibilities either in
state or city administration, or IN
party management. 1t would seem
that, in order to fill the new require
ment, women must do more than vote
and vote intelligently; that they must
do more than take an active part In
the shaping of issues. The women in
the non suffrage states do that.
COOPERATION ASKED.
THE Boise Council Of Women Vot-
ers. as an organization believing in
the expression of women in the larger
home, which Is the city. the state, the
nation, calls the attention Of the Boise
women to the necessity Of a more in
innate participation in these affairs
and asks that those women who also
recognise this need may cooperate
with them in bringing about such al,
expression in Boise. Having, in this
city, administrative offices of the
city, county, state and federal govern
ments, the opportunity Of giving broad
ly the genius OF women to civic Ifs
conformity with that of men. lies read

NEW CAREY ACT POLICY.
The new state land board to-
day laid down a policy with
reference to Carey act projects
which, it Is claimed, IL adopted
10 years ago, would have pre-
vented many Of the Carey act
irrigation failures. It II In ef-
feet that where irrigation
works are not complete COM
panies in charge Of them cannot
expect the land board to ask
the government for patent to
the lands under the project;
that projects must first be COM
pleted in toto before either the
contract will be approved by
the land board as between the
state and the companies or pat
ent applied for.
The board made this plain
when considering the Arlington
Ditch company project In Blaine

WHEAT PRICES GO

Prospects Of Prolonged Hos
tilities in Europe Cause
Material Advances in
Grain on Chicago Board.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Excitement over
the chances of prolonged European
hostilities CARED wheat prices up with
a rush today. The opening of business
was the first opportunity traders had
to gauge the market influence of the
reply from the entente allies to the
German overtures for peace. It was
apparent at once that the courage Of
buyers had been greatly stimulated,
especially among dealers with seaboard
connections.
Opening prices, which ranged from
cent to ~ cents higher. with May
1.75h to 1.7s and July 1.43 to las,
were followed by further gains, May
in some cases rising to more than s
cents above Saturdays closing level.
A falling off in the United States Wis
ible supply total and in the amount on
ocean passage led subsequently to de-
cided further upturns in quotations.
Besides seaboard advices we're optimis-
tic regarding prospects of an increase
in the number of vessels available for
shipments to Europe.

Abandon Food Prejudices

Don't be finicky. Be willing to
try new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en-
joyed in one section are practically
unknown in other sections of the
country. Learn to know all the good
things, not a few only.
People too easily get into food
ruts; insist on eating only the food
they are used to, and refuse to give
a fair trial to others. This causes
undue demand for certain staples,
with resulting scarcity or high prices
when crops are short. At the same
time other valuable foods may be
relatively cheap and available. A
striking instance of this is failure
fully to appreciate rice-a valuable
source of starch-when potatoes are
scarce and high. Another example is
refusal in certain sections to use any
thing but wheat as breadstuff, when
corn, a valuable cereal, widely used
elsewhere as breadstuffis plentiful
and relatively cheap.
Learn how to cook all kinds of
staple foods and to serve them in a
variety Of ways. Simple dishes well
prepared are better than expensive
foods badly cooked.
Many persons are prejudiced
against certain good foods because,
when first tried, the foods were i'm
properly cooked or prepared.
Remove from your vocabulary
don't like" or Cant eat"
Most individual prejudices against
widely popular foods are either mag
mary or baseless.

Recipes for Killing Flies

The United States Government
makes the following suggestion for
the destruction of house flies: For
maldehyde and sodium salicylate are
the two best fly poisons. Both are
superior to arsenic. They have their
advantages for household use. They
are not a poison to children; they
are convenient to handle, their dilu-
tions are simple and they attract the
flies.
A formaldehyde solution of ap-
proXimately the correct strength may
be made by adding teaspoonsful of
the concentrated formaldehyde So
luton, commercially known as for
malin, to a pint of water. Similarly,
the proper concentration of sodium
salicylate may be obtained by dis
solving Ieaspoonsful of the pure
chemical Ga powder) to pint of wa
ter.
An ordinary, th1n-waIIed drinking
glass is filled or partially filled with
the solution. A saucer, Or small
plate, in which is placed a piece of
white blotting paper cut the size Of
the dish, is put bottom up over the
glass. The whole is then quickly in
verted, a match placed unoeY the
edge of the glass, and the contalEsr
is ready for use.. AS the solution
dries out of the saucer the liquid seal
at the edge of the glass is broken
and more liquid flows into the lower
receptacle. Thus the paper is al
ways kept moist.
Any odor pleasing to man is Often
sive to the fly and vice versa, and
will drive them away.
