Disease Caused by Fear.

An eminent authority once made the
statement that a great deal of conta-
gion is due largely TO nervous appre-
hension and fear. Terror causes radi-
cal changes in the secretions and nerve
cells, and while the possibility is not
the direct cause of disease, it certain
ly is sufficient to put the person in the
proper condition to be attacked by the
prevailing malady.
1t is MISUNDERSTOOD fact that ex-
cessive anger infuseS a toxic element
into the secretions. Fear destroys the
resistive capability, and, as it We're
lets down the drawbridge and makes
way for the enemy.

commission announces that, as a suf-
ficient number of male and female

HOLLWEG SPEAKS FOR
VICTORY AND ANNEXAmONN

DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg con-
tinues in power in Germany, in spite
of the attacks of his enemies. In
the Reichstag he said:
I'VE must continue the war with
our whole energies. l do not deny
that we have great difficulties to
overcome, but so have our enemies.
We shall see whether their difficult
ties or ours are greater"
The chancellor has been vigorously
assailed by Matthias Erzberger, lead
er fthe Catholic center, and who
advocates peace without annexations
or indemnities.
1t is rumored with some authority
that Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
and Admiral Won Capelle have retir-
ed from their posts.
Erzberger attacked the pan-Ger-
manists so bitterly that his attitude
was spoken of as unpatriotic by Holl-
veg.

quarter of a ton of ink being re-

On account of the proposed ad-
vance in postal rates for newspapers,
a wall has been going out from news
paper offices in the United States,
but it does not affect us for the rea-
son that it applies only to papers
that are carried across county lines,
and practically all of the circulation
Of The Idaho Republican is within
the county. Again The Republican
plays in luck: and the readers and
advertisers are receiving the benefit.

Red Cross
Seluing for
the Soldiers

The meeting of the Red Cross will
be held in the v. |. S. rooms instead

committee was appointed at the
meeting, Tuesday, who will do all
the cutting for the needle women OF
the society and also have plenty of
material ready to sew on each day,
thus eliminating any waste of time
waiting for garments to be cut. A
letter from the Red Cross headquart-
ers urges that the sewing be pushed,
because our own armies are those of
our allies are greatly in need of gar
ments. If you haven't been giving
some of your time to the sewing of
the Red Cross garments, do 1t now
for your help is greatly needed.
The committee on first aid are now
perfecting their work and it is hop
ed that not later than September 1,
there will be first aid class organ
ized Any one wishing to take the
course notify member of the COM
mittee Immediately.
1t was voted unanimously that
telegram should be sent to Washing
ton expressing the attitude of the
local chapter upon the question of
our grain being used for the manu-
facture of intoxicants, by our nation
and by our allies, stating that it did
not seem consistent for the Ameri-
can people to have breadless days and
in every way make a supreme effort
for the conservation of grain and at
the same time for the manufacture
of liquors to go on.
The next meeting will be held
Tuesday afternoon at $50 in the V.
