IDAHO LEGISLATURE SHOWS
EVIDENCE Of SANITY

Boise, Idaho, Jan 20: The appro-
priation committee of the house Of
representatives will overture prece-
dent in the matter of reporting ap-
preparations at the present session
for instead of launching general ap-
preparation bill in the closing days,
will segrgeragate the important divis-
To- of the bill and launch it piece
meal. The budget for charitable and
penal institutions will come first and
will appear next week. The estate
department budgets will follow later.
The scattering and least important
will come last.
Several sessions of the appropria-
tiOns committee have been held. 1t
seems to be the general opinion
among majority and minority men,
bers that to parcel out the budgets
early in the session will do away with
great deal of trouble and worry
and allow deliberate action on the
part of members. They are opposed
to launhcinga bill during the latter
days of the session Jumping all Of the
approprii tons.
Hearings so far held have taken in
the asylums, the school for the deaf
and blind and penitentiary. A lib
eral appropriation to complete the
state sanitarium for the feeble mind
ed at Nampa will be recommended by
the committee. 1t is believed that
such an appropriation is wise economy
because with the with the completion
of this institution about 100 fee
minded inmates of the penitentiary
and the asylum can be cared for.
This number also includes epileptics.
1t is agreed by the medical super.
intendents of the two asylums in the
state andby others competent to pass
judgement on the insane and feeble.
minded that an insane asylum is nc
place for AM unfortunate; feeble minded
person or one suffering f ON epilepsy
that if they are properly cared for il
feeble minded institut on they will
do much better.
The Nampa institution was never
completed. Legislatures have ale,
to make sufficient appropriations t
complete the main building. Boil
the north and south Idaho insane asy
lums are now crowded and remova
of the feeble minded and epilepti
patients will greatly relieve the con
gested condition.
While all the money that is desire'
by the various state departents ant
" the state institutions will probabl,
not be recommended the appropria
tions committee is inclined to be lib
eral in the several amounts that it re
ports. Careful Investigations are be
ing made into all budgets so as to as
certain the needs of the state depart
ments and state institutions

TIE Pierce school house was COM
pletely destroyed by fire Wednesday
night. 1t seems that the fire was
due to the flaming of large gasoline
Ian p which caught the ceiling afire.
The fire started at 10 80 in the even
ing while the students were having a
PLAY rehearsal. 1t was reported that
little could be done in the way of put
ting out the flames, however few
library books and a pinao were saved.
The obstruction of this fine building
will be big loss to the district and
will be hindrance to the progress OF

UNIVERSITY TELLS HOW TO
CURE AND COOK PORK

The University of Idaho Weekly
News Letter of January 10. has the
following to say about pork:
During the next few mot tbs a
great deal of butchering will be done
on the farm and the housewife will
be tempted to serve meat at all meals
in order to "save it.
If meat is preserved by freezing
only, the loss is often great if taaw
comes, but if the meat is prese rved
by canning in sterilized jars, ard by
curing. it may be kept indefinitely.
The ribs and loin of pork and sau-
sage mray be canned by sterilization
Many women Rave asked why it il
not as well to put sausage down in
crooks covered with lard as to can it,
Pork contains large amount of fat
and because of this, ma y people find
it difficult to digest. If more fat is
added the irdigestibiltiy is in
creased Bacon and hams are pre-
served by curing. After they are put
down in brine, they should be
smoked. This process should espec-
tally be applied to the bacons. Bac-
on is the one form of pork that school
children should eat frequently, as it
is easily dgested. The smoki, G
helps to make It more digestible and,
hence, it should be carried beyond the
picking stage.
In cooking pork the housewife
should employ a variety of methods.
Frying is the method most frequently
used. 1t is very difficult to fry pork
without burning some of the fat. and
burnt fat is irritating to tie lining of
the digestive tract, hence, this method
should be used frequently. Roasting
pork or combining it with other
meats, such as beef, or with rice will
give variety.
Many people like baked hams but
feel that they cannot afford to bake a
whole one. In SUCH a case slice
two or three inches thick may be
baked and good results obtained.
Sausage and bacon are good if baked
or "oven broiled." They are pre-
pared the same as for frying and are
placed on a rack or pan and cooked in
a hot oven.

The worst kind of liar is the man
who, when dunned for years's SUBJ
cription says he only received two or
three copies of the paper during the
year and refuses to pay.--Clarkville-

Next, if not above this one, is this
liar who takes the paper seven or
eight years, and when finally cornered
for settlement says he never ordered
it at all.-Pike County Post.
But the worst liar of them all is
the man who takes the paper several
years, moves away without saying
anything about it. and then says he
is an honest man. Glendale Advance.

JUST A FIT OF TEMPER"

Governor Withycombe has refused to pay the bonus
promised exSupernendent Crawford of the prison lax
plant if he made financial profit Of the business AS
governor of the state and such being in charge OF the
flax plant he quite within his rights and certainly is
only doing his duty if he actually believes what he says
that Mr. Crawford has not made good That ne does not
believe it is shown by his admission that leaving the seed
out of the calculation that there is still profit OF $4
and by his offer to pay him $500.
The governor goes out Of his way to assert that Mr.
CawfOrds predecessor grew the crop and ntmaes that
he should have credit for the value of the Seed and that
Crawford should not The governor knows better than
this Mr. CraWfOrds predecessor did not grow the crop
Of flax from which the seed produced. That crop
was grown under contract by farmers The state had
absolutely nothing to do with the growing Of it other than
to furnish the seed for planting The state had nothing
whatever to do with the crop until its harvesting began
Mr.. Crawford took charge in August and every bit OF
work done on the crop under his direction. He
harvested the crop hreshed cleaned and sacked the Seed
put straw the sheds and did whatever else was done
to or about the crop by the state.
However leaving out the flax seed Mr.. Crawfords
statement which he says is checked up with the figures
of the board Of control shows cash hand $lO668O or
$11451 than enough to repay the money loaned by
the legislature 1t shows the OF S2O9l4O due from

There unretted straw threshed and bundled ready for

there are 80 Of straw in the sheds harvested and paid
for by Crawford and which cost ST $780,
Yet his excelency the governor flippanty remarks
that he has figures which show "he is lucky if he breaks
even"
The governor admits there profit Of $4 188 but init
mates this profit will vanish under the manpulatons OIL

ernor might reach this solution but doubt anyone ese
doing So He could reach it easily he counts the labor

value Of the finished product from it.
