President Wilson has issued appeal for the State

serve System His language is urgent-as is the need

banks by of their resources, eligible and de-

only about hundred of them have Joined it. and the
entire membership of the System is about 200.
According to the Statistical Abstract for 1914 (the
latest avalabe the total of the 1888 National
banks there listed amounted to little less than eleven
and half billion dollars.
At the same time there were 21OO savings banks

trust companies whose total aggregated nearly
fifteen billions and half of dollars.

TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN

The perils of modern life increase day by day. Acct
dents in the street and workshops are common. Many
families the innocent victims of parental abuse and
dissipation The number of children who have congen
tai deformes, have affections resulting from infant
paralysis, is large Many threatened with blindness
deafness. There is innumerabe number of other
ailments affecting their future ability to living.
The increasing number Of such detectives is of
most vital civic problems If these young folks grow
up incurred they must largely live off the community
If their friends don't support them they likely to need
public relief
In great many these troubles be cured
while person is young. 1t would usually be cheaper
from the mere money point of view, to provide surgical
help than to allow child to grow up and public
charity At any rate when you consider how the produc
tive power of these people be increased it is poor
economy to let them go through life manned and helpless
The state of Iowa has done progressive work
IN this direction worthy of wide imitation. BY the law
passed in 1915 children suffering from such ailments if
reasonable probability of cure material Improvement
can be shown have free treatment the University
hospital if their parents cannot afford to pay About
900 have been treated for such ailments Nearly all of
Them returned home cured or greatly improved.
1t good business for state charity to take up such
work If sufficient public funds cannot be secured pr
Vate charity ought to be offered 1t is field in which
many Mothers Clubs and Womens Clubs are doing spen-

Big GAINS
FOR ITALY
Take an Additional $500
Prisoners from the
AuStrianS
GAIN IMPORTANT POINTS
Capture Much War Material and Men,
ace the Crucial Adriatic Sea-
port of Trieste

ROME-The Italians have made
prisoner an additional $500 Austrians
and have made further progress on
the Carso front 1T is officially an
nounced. Much war material has
been captured.
Desperate Austrian cOunter-attackS
endeavoring to capture Vodice failed.
Three hundred prisoners were taken
by the Italians in this section. After
bitter hand-to-hand fighting the Ital-
ians captured the network of Austrian
trenches eastward from the mouth of
the Timmho river. The heights north
of Flonder and Medaezza were also
captured.
North and south of Jamiano, eight
miles south of Gorilla, the Italians
have driven the Austrians back and
taken additional important positions.
The gains here are a direct menace
to the defenses of Triest. The fight
ing is made harder because of the
barren, hilly country Cadorna's men,
however. have taken two strongly
fortified hills north of JamianO and
reached the outskirts of Versio.
The Austrians have attempted to
check the Italian advance on the
southern Carso by making violent
counter attacks south and east OF
Gorilla and along the Vodice sector.
At all points of attack the Austrians
were driven back with heavy losses
and east of Hill 652 on the Vodlce the
Italians captured the positions from
which the Austrians emerged to the
attack.

JUDGE DIETRICH PRONOUNCES
SENTENCE ON SEVERAL LAW
VIOLATORS

|
Judge Dietrich closed his Moscow
term of the United States district
| court today after clearing his cal
endar. Several prisoners who ha6
pleaded guilty to introducing liquor
ON the Indian reservation were SEN
fenced by the judge at the morning
session.
| Mary Flood, alias Ethel johnson
was given two months in the Ne2
Perce county Jail and was fined $10O.
Frank White was given two months
in the Latah county jail and was fined
500.
Edward Smith was given three
months in the Nez Perce county Jail
and fine of $100.
James Manley was given eight
months in the Latah county Jail and
fine of $100.
In the case of Bruce Nimmo the jury
disagreed and the case went over for
the term.
George Strange, the former United
States field agent, pleaded not guilty
to the charge of selling liquor to Ind
ians and his case went over to the
next term OF court.
C. F. Osmers of the Idaho Drug COM
panv of Lewiston, and ]. r. Hughes, a
druggist of Kamiah, we're indicted by
the grand jury on technical charges.
They. presented the facts to the court
with the result that they were re-
leased on their own recognizance.
The point involved in these cases is
thus set forth by the Lewiston Tri-
bune:
''Up to this time it has never been
considered a violation to ship me9i
cines containing alcohol by whole
sale druggist to retail druggist, such
as liniments, elixirs and flavoring ex-
tracts, and therefore every wholesale
house doing business on the reserva-
ton with retail druggists would be
liable, and included in such whole
sale houses are leading establish
ments in that line located at many
points in the west. These houses
have never considered it a violation
of the law to ship medicines to phar-
macists, and to stop shipping all
medicines containing alcohol to drug
gists on the reservation would mean
that no prescription could be COM
pounded in that section"

HOW THE RED CROSS
SEAL ORIGINATED.
Anti-tubercuIosis Workers After $780,
600 Fund.

Nearly $2,5OO,OOO has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
seven years. and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
eighth annual sale do not know how
the charity stamp idea originated.
1t was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil war of 81 to
'65. Some of your grandmOthers first
played post office with stickers sim
liar TO Red Cross Seals way back in
1862, when they conceived the idea of
selling stamps at fairs for the benefit
of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere. Nearly 100000 was rails
ed in this way before 1865. After the
war this method of raising money was
discontinued in this country for a gen
Grafton, although it found vogue in
Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
France, Spain. Denmark, Norway,
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now several
thousands of different types of charity
stamps used in all parts of the world,

tria for children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculOsis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. To Jacob Riis, the well known
social worker of New York, and to
Miss Emily P. Bissell, the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
Jointly belong the honor of originating
our American Red Cross Christmas
seal. In 1907 Mr. Riis's interest was
aroused by the receipt Of a Christmas
tuberculosis stamp on a letter from
Norway. He published an article about
this queer; looking stamp in the Out
look and suggested some possible uses
for it in this country. Miss Bissell at
once saw an opportunity here and pre-
pared stamp, from the sale of which
her society realized $4,000 for tubercu-
losis work. So impressed was she with
this success that she induced the Amer
lean Red Cross to take up the sale in
1903 on a national basis. With very
little organization and with hardly any
attempt at careful advertising the sale
that year brought in over $135,000 for
anti-tuberculosis work in various parts
Of the United States. In 1909, with
more thorough organization, the sale
was increased to $230,O0O, in 1910 to
nearly $4,000, in 1911 to over $780,
600 and in 1912 to over 100000. In
1913 the sale was increased to nearly
$45O. 900, and last year, in spite of war
and hard times, % per cent more, or
55.OOO.OOO seals were sold. tOtal1ng
$3.50. 900 for the anti-tuberculosis war.
