year in child welfare just how this

In this time of urgent need and great

The Red Cross is doing its great
work. The Council of National Defense
is doing work along all lines, yet
there are community needs that can
be met only by such an office and

Medical Department of new diseases or

than in civil life.

Surgeon General, presenting the con-

climatization to cold, enfeebled circu-

Fundamentally trench foot is moth

there is a pain around the ankles or

The cvitally important considera-

to be precaution that the feet should

experience of the foreign armies was

brought right home.
The system OF government reguia-

extension OF the railroad down the
Salmon river to Lewiston where con
nectioa will be made with the
western terminals of the T. p and
Northern Pacific systems. The Sal
mon river route is urgently demand
ed by both of these great systems.
The Salmon river route NAV become
the maio line of the Nothern Pacific
and Union Pacific when the govern
ment ownership makes the common
use of the Salmon river canyon a
possibility for traffic. An average of
250 miles will be eliminated from
half of the transcontinental traffic.

Besides all this conservation the
Salmon river route will make cleo

should call for 40-car train each

alone would Justify the building OF
this extension route for the two
great railroad systems.
