Purpose of Defense Council.

The official press bulletin OF the
Idaho state council of defense, in
its foreword says in part:
The work of preparing Idaho to
make the sacrifices the nation will
ultimately call for prior TO victory
at arms over our common enemy is
so vast that only the combined
efforts of all concerned will ac-
complish the end sought.
Differences of all kinds and
shades must be forgotten, whether
they be political, fraternal, relig-
ious or otherwise, in order that
there may be combined all of the
driving forces OF Idaho. 1t is the
firm belief of the council that those
not called to ~bear arms for their
country have a solemn and sacred
duty to perform at home in keep
ing down sedition and treason,
conserving our resources, intensi-
flying crop production SO that those
who bear our arms may have food
to eat, and assisting in the financ-
ing of the war through the pur-
chase of Liberty bonds. There is
also the duty of giving freely to
those organizations seeking to
make more comfortable the men at
the front or training to be placed
there, administering to the wound
ed and assisting the soldier spirit
ually and morally.

Miss Redfeld Protests.

Protest has been made by Miss
Ethel E Red6eld, state superin.
tcndent Of public instruction, To
solicitation 10y teachers OF money
from their pupils for tobacco
fund for soldiers, Miss Redfield is
quoted as follows:
"rhe laws OF our state require
that the effects of alcoholic drinks,
stimnlants and narcotics upon the
human system shall be taught in
our schools. The statutes also
provide for the revocation Of
teachers certificate If the above
requirements are not complied
with. For years our schools have
met the laws requirements and
have advised our youth against
these things. Therefore, it is
highly inconsistent and it is wrong
for teachers 10 solicit their pupils
for tobacco fund and ! protest
any such solicitation being carried
on in our schools"

Peter Rabbit Is Horrified.
~ THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Copyright. 1917. By T. W. BurEessl

To be Mortified is to be filled with
horror, and horror. you know. is q state
Of feeling produced by something
dreadful. When Peter Rabbit discov-
cred Lightfoot the Deer lying hidden
in the thicket of young hemlock trees
and making little gasping means he
didn't at first understand what 1t meant.
Those little means gave him a feeling
that something was wrong. but still he
didn't quite understand them. He saw
his big friend whom he so much ad-
mired lying there. and at once all un-
easiness left him. He had nothing to
fear from Lightfoot.
So Peter boldly crept nearer. Hello.
Lightfoot." said he. Il haven't seen
you for some time and have been Won
dering what had become Of you. What
are you making that queer noise for?"
Slowly. very slowly. as II it was all
he could do. Lightfoot turned his beau
tiful head with its wonderful branch
ing antlers and looked at Peter. Then
Peter saw in Lightfoot's great soft.
beautiful eyes such look of suffering
that he knew instantly that Ltghtfoot

just ordinary milk for that matter
and then mixing it with the coffee. 1t
really is a much richer beverage than
coffee mixed with cold milk and for
some reason coffee SO diluted has a bet
ter creamier color.
When coffee was first used in Europe
apparently it was always taken clear
as indeed it still is always in France
when taken at dinner. 1t was Nine.
de Devigne who in 1850 recommended
cafe au lait to her daughter. She had
apparently discovered that coffee could
be diluted with milk but short time
before.
we have here some good cows and
good milk" she wrote. We like to
skim this coed milk and mix 1t with
sugar and coffee. My dear child. 1t Is
a very pretty thing and one from which
I receive a great consolation" She
further went on to say that the infu-
sion met with the entire approval of
her physician-one of the leading doc
tors of the day in France-and that he
recommended it as beneficial for the
lungs and rheumatism.
After that apparently cafe au lait
was tried at first cautiously and then
enthusiastically among the fashionable
folk of France and finally it became
the almost universal breakfast bever-
age.

Ltghtfoot nodded and tried to lick the
wounds, for 1t was from wounds that
those dark stains came. They were
made by blood which had dried on that
hne gray coat. And still Peter stared
and stared. The fact Is, he was horri-
fed. Lightfoot. the most beautiful of
all the four-footed people of the Green
Forest. was lying there hurt. too hurt
and yet it was true Do you wonder
that Peter was horrified?
And in Lightfoots great, beautiful
eyes was such misery and sufferingi |
IL was dreadful. Peter longed with all
his heart to do something for Light
ioot, put there's was nothing he could
do. He could do nothing at all but be
sympathetic. and you may be sure he
was this. He was fairly bursting with
sympathy, but he didn't know how to
express all he felt And it didn't seem
as II Just sympathy could be of any help
to poor Lightfoot
But 1t was. True sympathy always
helps. Lightfoot had been lying there

TO see Peter Rabbit It didn't take
away any Of the pain. but somehow 1t
maze the pain easier to bear. 1t was

know II Is dreadful to suffer all alone,

been doing.
