Same Old Stuff,

A letter from a Babylonian master
to his servant 1900 years before
Christ, has been translated at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. An accurate
report of it's contents has not yet
reached this Office, but this is the tenor
of it: my Good Man: Owing to the
present high prices in raw materials,
and incidentally the consequent ex-
penses of operation, it is impossible
at present to give you the increase in
salary you asked for. Do not despair,
however. Good service never goes un-
rewarded.-The Boss"

Proper Food for Weak StOmachs

The proper food for one man may be
ali wrong for another. Every one should
adopt diet suited to his age and oc-
cupation. Those who have weak stom-
achs need to be especially careful and
should eat slowly and masticate their
food thoroughly. 1t is also important
that they keep their bowels regular.
When they become constipated or when
they feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain's Tab
lets to strengthen the stomach and
move the bowels. They are easy to
take and pleasant in effect.

a perfect shame that his parents are

FIRTH's BANK PROGRESSING

Firth can claim the distinction of
having more good boosters than any
little town of its size In the State
Of Idaho. They not only will boost
with their tongues, but show them
something that will benefit their
town and they will go down in their
pockets and "dig up" The proposed
new bank has been the leading SUBJ
ject discussed the past week, and
1t is assured now as far as capital
is concerned. 1t remains for the
officials at Washington to grant
them a charter. At a we'll attended
meeting Thursday night a Mr.. Pike,
from Bozman, Montana, capitalist,
was present and was anxious, to take
stock in bank. He suggested that
a bank be organized with capital
stock of $4,000. He would take
half of the stock, or II the balance
of the stockholders were willing he
would take $4,000 of the stock.
Friday morning petition was cir
culated and no trouble was expert
enced In getting signers enough to
take all the stock that was for sale.
Firth has been wanting bank for
years and now it seems their hopes
are soon to be realized. As things
are now it is very inconvenient to
the business men to be without a
bank.

TO SEE BROTHER WHO is
MEMBER OF SECOND IDAHO

Mrs. T. ]. Johnson and daughter,
Gladys, left Saturday for Boise,
where they will probably spent q
week with relatives and friends. Mrs.
Johnson's brother, Don Shelman, is
a member of the Second Idaho and
the probabilities are that the regi-
ment will move to some other fort
or to France very shortly, and her
chief mission to Boise was to have
a short visit with him. For the past
two years he has been with the
Second Idaho and during that time
has had active service on the Mexi-
can border. Mrs. Johnson's mother
and sister from Grangeville, Idaho
were also in Boise.
