how to destroy his sputum so as not
TO infect his family or neighbors.
4. BY discovering the disease in it,
early stages and curing the patient
thus removing a source of infection
to others.
5. BY educating the community .as
to the nature Of the disease-that it
is communicable, preventable and
durable.
s. By educating people to keep
their bodies in such physical condl-
ton as to resist the germs.
Z. By advocating fresh air, out
door life, sunshine, rest, no over
work. wholesome food, temperate
habits.

You Have tuberculosis Read This Article

herited There can be no tubercu-
losis without the germ. The COM
honest method of infection is by in
halation. i. e.,by the breathing into
the mouth or nose the germs contain
ed in the sputum of consumptive
which he has expelled or discharged
by coughing or sneezing. Dust laden
with germs from sputum of consump-
tives floats in the air and is breathed
into the lungs. Hence the necessity
of destroying all spltum, and of spec
ial precautions in caughing and
sneezing. tuberculosis may also be
acquired by INGESTION, l. e., by
swallowing the gems with infected
milk and food, and, more rarely, by
INOCULAIION through cuts and
wounds.
While tuberculosis is not inherit
ed, especially babies, are particularly
liable to infection from contact with
consumptive persons.
Such childhood infection may not
produce immediate disease and may
remain inactive for years, until the
boy 70 girl, weakened by bad envir
onment, dissipation or overwork
loses the normal resisting power, the
latent germs become active, and d
breakdown with tuberculosis follows
Because of this, it is of the utmost
important to keep the body always
strong and resistant.

IT'S A LIE.

When the Orofino Tribune says the
suit filed by Attorney J. z. Becker,
in which T. j. LaForest is the conf
plainant, delayed, even one minute.
the repair of the Orof1no- bridge, il
falsifies. The suit was filed for the
purpose of saving the taxpayers
legal rights, and at the last moment
to enable the legality Of the highway
matter to be tested in court. AS a
mater of fact MIR. Becker not only
contributed largely of his time and
legal services. but put up his person
al funds to do this for the people, but
before the suit was filed conference
was held with J. b. Dickson. an in
terested farmer of Gilbert for the
purpose of discussing the case as il
might affect the work of repairing
the bridge. Mr.. LaForest and Mr..
Becker. according to the statement of
MIR. Dickson, both declared that II ii
developed that the suit to test the
law and disorganize the highways
would in any way interfere with or
delay the repair of the bridge they
would dismiss it. Mr.. Dickson says
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-12-21

the suit was filed Saturday and if he
is not mistaken the contract to re-
pair the bridge was closed the first
of the following week.
But who will be surprised that l.
r. crow, editor of the Orofino Trib-
une, is, as usual, guilty of studied
misrepresentation to deceive the peo-
pie. Mr.. Crow is just plain, ordi-
nary LIAR He lives on political
filth; like the caron crow he thriVes
best among the dirty thing in the
community.
Honor. He has none. Truthful!
He woold not recognize it if he met
it in the road. He sees only the re-
Election of his own depravity, and is
intently engaged always in trying to
invent some dirty lie that he hopes
will makes vote or two for the old
Blake machine, Of which he is and
has been the willing moothpiece. And
we might add that he is also the rec
tum. For through him and his pap
er sewer flow unobstructed stream
of political excreta.
Had the $4,000 the Orofino Trib-
une crowd grated for alleged bridge
plans and fake specifications and in
competent supervision been honestly
spent for concrete piers; had the
Blake gang and the Tribune high
binders put the peoples money into
piers instead of into somebody's pock-
cts, all this trouble and expense, of
repair would not be necessary, and
the loss of business, which the col
lapse of the bridge will entail, would
not be nightmare that todays hangs

our town. We are damned by the
bills that the people must pay be-
cause the Tribune crowd danced at
when entrusted with the administra-
cannot be charged up to the republi-
can party, nor excused by hurting
imprecations at j. R. Becker.
What Mr.. Becker and Mr. LaForest
were trying to avert was the calam-
ity of SIX MILL Orofino Highway
tax for the privilege Of giving l. r.
Crow a job as clerk of the board, a
work that under the county plan was
performed for nothing by Deputy Au-
ditor Frank Shreve. Mr.. Becker was
trying to save the taxpayers the ex-
pense of four sets of officials, when
one, already under pay, might do the
work better. He was trying to save
the people the expense of four sur
veyors when the county surveyor, on
a fixed salary that must be paid any,
how, can do the work. Mr.. Becker,
let us add in conclusion, was trying
to save the taxpayers the expense of
his salary, and the expense of Mr..
Tannahill and other attorneys. when
the taxpayers have county attorney
on the payroll and got along better
under the county plan without high
ways.

About Envelopes.

1t is said that envelopes were in
vented during the early days of Louis
XIV Of France. In 1860 NJ. De Val
lyer established a private post and
placed boxes at the corner Of the
streets for letters inclosed in envel-
opes that were sold in offices estab-
hshed for that purpose. 1t seems
likely, however. that envelopes were In
use before this period because envel-
opes SO used in France were special
postpaid envelopes. But precisely
what year is marked by the first inyen.

Circassian walnut is sold by the

As early as 116 b. c. it was introduced
into Italy from Persia. Russia is the
chief source of Circassian walnut. The
logs are SO heavy that they will not
foat, and are sold from the forest
with their bark on. Only the heart Of

The daily expectoration of con
sumptive may contain millions OF
germs.
The germ growing in the body de-
stroys the tissues and produces poi
sons or toxins which cause the we'll
