Strongest and Fittest to Serve
In the First Line Of Defense

Prior to leaving for Washington to
attend the national health conference.
Or. Biwer, secretary of the state
board Of health prepared the first of a
series Of articles dealing with public
health problems of vital Importance
now that the nation and state are
preparing to conserve food resources
and enlist in the army and navy mil
lions Of men for military duty. The
article is as follows:
During this period Of active endea-
vor along the lines of preparedness
and conservation Of the resources Of
our nation, much has been said nation
ally as well as locally of the conser-
walton and production of foodstuffs
Of all kinds, Of the production and
storage Of fuel, Of the guarding and
protection Of public and private in
stitutions. But in all this laudable
activity how little we hear of the
safeguarding Of the most essential fac
tor to be considered. namely the
health Of the men who are to go forth
and face the enemy, and who must be
made of such material as to enable
them to attain the highest degree OF
efficiency. even though they are COM
PEELED by circumstances to maintain
the glorS of our flag and nation I'M
der the very worst of conditions.
Fortunately the men in the fighting
units are certain to be favored by the
maintenance of the best sanitary
measures under the supervision of the
highly trained medical division of our
army and navy: but what of those
who will be called on to take their
place in the ranks later-why should
we not insist that they be carefully
considered and so served as to make

exacting duties they are due to as
sumo :.
MUST be STRONG FOR SERVICE.
TN the very nature Of things only
the strongest and fittest are accepted
for service in the first line Of defense.
The standards in use cause the re-
lection of many who are anxious to
serve our country in the army or
do not measure UP to the physical re-
quirements.
Now, 1t must be obvious to the
most casual observer that these many
reflections because of physical lack Is
not to be taken at all as sign at ma
tional degeneracy-the fault ls alb.
solutely to be found in our careless
indifference to right living. To be
sure some babies are born with q
heritage that makes II impossible for
them to attain perfect manhood or
womanhood, but these poor unfor-
tunates, such because OF disregard Of
right living on the part Of their pro-
genitors, rapidly fall by the wayside;
on the other hand vastly more are
born with an heritage that fits them
to meet the exactions of this world
properly, If during their years of
growth and development, they are
taught the ways or right living and
are surrounded by an environment
which will conserve what nature has
given them.
Internationally the man in the
ranks or on the firing line will be
vastly more efficient, If his mind is at
tO
him at home, but imagine the mental
state Of a fighter in the ranks who
knows that an epidemic of typhoid has
developed in his home community, and
that his folks are apt to fall victims.
KEEP FREE FROM DISEASE.
"These are some of the many rea-
sons why the public should Cooperate
intelligently with the public health au-
thorities in keeping communicable
diseases at a minimum or even in
graduating them entirely. Prevent
able disease Is a crime; an offense
against society, and in just such
measure as we prevent or eradicate
preventable disease, do we lengthen
human life and increase the sum total
of human happiness.
not entail any hardship nor require
the giving up of any of the normal
pleasures of life. 1t means only the
exercise of a reasonable amount OF care
to observe the fundamental laws of
hygiene, both personal and general; to
take advantage of the abundant fresh
air and sunshine; to maintain per-
sonal cleanliness, both physical and
moral; to be moderate in appeasing
the appetite; to have a proper regard
for the rights of your neighbor, that
he, too, may practice right living
without hindrance on your part, and
to delegate to yourself the task of
always striving for the general pub
lie good.
Later articles will give detailed ad-
vice, and suggestions on the conserva-
ton of that priceless boon-good
health"

place their orders with their seed
dealer as soon as possible. While the
price of cane seed is high at this time
it is bound to go much higher. Those
deferring ordering may not get the
cane seed and If they do get it they
will surely have to pay a high price
for 1t. From reports, the 1915 crop
was short, and while the prices seem
high, it is well worth the price and I
advise all who can to at least try out
a small acreage of amber cane. In
the Boise valley the yield Of cane per
acre where the ground is properly
conditioned, with proper care and
handling, should produce at least fiji
teen tons of feed per acre. The feed
ing value of a ton of cane Is consider
ably higher than that of timothy hay.
While 1t will not take the place Of alf-
alta hay altogether, it is the next best
substitution, and is worthy of the at
tention of every stock grower growing
his own forage.
Cane forage can be harvested and
handled successfully at a less cost
than a single cutting of alfalfa hay
and yet produce probably five times
a greater yield.
IN CARLOAD LOTS.
I'VE have advised our seed dealers
to lay in supply of cane seed. At
this writing, however, they have not
been able to locate any quantities
where it can be shipped in carload
lots. Native seed corn is very scarce
and farmers needing corn should
place their orders with their seed
dealers, as well as all other seed or
ders, at once. The proposition of sup
plying seed is serious throughout Ida
no. Delay means almost certain fail
ure in producing corn, Kaffir corn,
Milo maize, or amber cane.
"Millet is a good feed for cattle and
sheep but is not considered safe for
age for horses.
THE forage committee for increas-
ed production urges immediate action
among all farmers who contemplate
producing any of the above forage"

Number Of Cases-Quick
Work by Registrant.

The district board has reversed the
Eurleigh county board in a number Of
dependency claims which it decided
adversely. The county board acted in
each instance with what it believed to
be full knowledge of the case at
hand, and it is rather anxious to
know what evidence the district COM
mission had to base its action upon.
"One instance is that in which sew
eral sons Of a widowed Bismarck
woman, all of who were of draft age,
and unmarried, are contributing to
the support of their mother, who also
has other sources OF income. One Of
these young men was called on tho
first draft, and his claim that his
mother was solely dependent upon
him was adversely passed upon by
the county board. The claim was ap-
pealed to the district board, which
promptly reversed the local commits
sion.
states Attorney McCurdy, as Bur-
leigh county representative of the
United States government in connec-
ton with the draft, is investigating
these cases., and it is probable that
a number Of them vii be appealed to
the president, and that the activities
of state officials in connection with
them will be looked into. 49,.

that the stork is again lowering near.

that this marriage was consummated

! Some presidential appeals which
have been referred back to state auth
critics indicate that registrants or
their families acted before the dis
trict board had found time to pass on
their claims, as in number Of in
stances after they had been appealed
to the president were decided by the
district board in favor of the. regis
