SCATTERED THE CROWD.

Before he turned his attention to
navigation BY steam, Robert Fulton
invented a marine torpedo which he
endeavored to dispose Of to the
United States government Sue
ceeding in interesting james Madi-
son, then secretary Of state, in the
matter, he obtained a small appro-
priation from the government for
the purpose Of conducting some
public experiments. In the sum-
mer Of 1906 he invited the high Dig
nitaries and a number of prominent
citizens Of New York to Governors
island to see the torpedoes and ma
chinery with which his experiments
were to be made.
While he was lecturing on his
blank torpedoes, which were large,
empty copper cylinders, his numer-
Gus auditors crowded around him.
After awhile he turned to a copper
case of the same description which
was placed under the gateway Of old
Castle William, and to which was
attached a clockwork lock.
Drawing out peg Fulton set the
clock in motion, and then he said IN
solemn tones to his attentive audi
enee: Gentlemen, this is a charg-
ed torpedo, with which, precisely IN
its present state, mean to blow up
a vessel. 1t contains 40 pounds Of
gunpowder, and if / were to suffer
the clOckwork to run fifteen minutes
I have no doubt that it would blow
this fertilization TO atoms. "
The circle Of humanity which had
closed around the inventor began 20
spread out and grow thinner, and
before FIVE Of the fifteen minutes
had passed there we're but two or
three persons remaining under the
gateway. Some, indeed, lost no
time in getting at the greatest pos
sible distance from the torpedo, and
they did not again appear ON the
ground until they were assured that
the engine Of destruction was safe-
" lodged in the magazine whence il
had been taken. The local historian
IF that period remarks:
'EThe conduct Of Mr.. Fulton's au-
litors was not very extraordinary
II unnatural, but his own eompo-
Iure indicated the confidence with
which he handled these terrible in
Itruments Of destruction and the
.eliance he had on the accuracy Of
he performance Of his machinery.
The apprehension Of his friends sur
,rised and amused him, and he took
occasion to remark how true it was
hat fear frequently arose from ig-

II learned to usa the sewing ma

a writer IN the Woman's Home
Companion. First, for the action
merely, my mother left the machine
unthreaded, therefore without COM
plications. She showed me how to
fold a square Of thin paper diagon-
ally once, then again, then a third
time. Then placing the point of the
triangle, which was the center Of
the square, under the needle, she
started the wheel and let me guide
the needle haphazard about the tri-
angle, covering it with weird trac-
cry. Behold When the paper was
unfolded, a beautiful symmetrical
design, made by mel Many an iron
holder / proudly worked in chain

To Peace Officers and all Others
in authority:
One of the most important
problems confronting the State
Council of Defense, in session al
Boise October 29th, was the ser.
ious condition of agricultural Ia
Dor. Urged by all in authority
to increase production as a patri-
otic duty, the farmers of Idaho
have found great difficulty in car
ing for the crop after it has been
produced. The fact was estab-
lished that, in towns and villages
where there were many idle men,
the offer of abnormally high
wages for work in saving the
crop of fruit, potatoes, sugar
beets, etc, has been met with in
difference or contempt and often
with a downright refusal to work
at any price. Farmers are often
thus confronted with the loss not
alone of profits but of crops.
In an hour when the welfare of
the nation is endangered, when
the entire world faces a shortage
of food, when it is of vital i'm
portance that every resource of
the nation should be modified,
it is the serious duty of all peace
officers and all others in au-
thority to use every provision of
law to compel idlers who prey
upon the community but render
no service, either to go to work
or move on. The scripture les
son, 'sIf any wiz not work,
neither shall he eat, = should be
enforced.
The legal committee of the
State Council of Defense consist
ing of Judge j. F. Ailshie, former
Justice of the Supreme Court, and
j. T. Pence, of Boise and j. r.
Boutwell, of Twin Falls, attor-
neys, was asking for legal Opin-
ion as to the provisions and scope
of the vagrancy law and of the
possibility of its use to remedy
conditions existing in various
parts of the state. The following
of the committee, is
commended to the attention of |
all peace officers and others in
authority as a useful recourse
which perhaps may obviate the
necessity of the use of more
drastic measures.
State Council of Defense,
E. A. Bryan, President.
Your legal committee appoint
ID to examine the Statutes and
eport upon the practical legal
means which may be invoked to

The body is a highly organized ma
chine of complicated parts in which the
liver and the kidneys work for the COM
mon good. Damage to either one Of
these organs interferes with man as a
motor mechanism. The automobile ex-
pert knows how important it is that the
carburetor does not get too much fuel,
along with sufficient air to burn or ex-
plode the gas. Too much fuel In mans
machine, such as eating too much meat,
or alcohol or tea, and the liver cannot
"turn over" nervous overwork and lack
of exercise in outdoor air bring consti-
patton and bad health. Eat less meat,
plenty of vegetables and with air and
good exercise you need little else If
the liver needs rousing-and most Of us
need this once a week-take safe vege-

Most people die eventually Of an over

But, unfortunately, our highly nervous
way of living brings increased storage of
uric acid in the body. This acts as
poison, and we suffer from lumbago,
aches or pains, rheumatism, gout.
Get rid Of this uric acid poison by
taking harmless medicine called An

stimulating the kidneys. Drink a pint
of hot water before meals and take An
