Unfortunate Inmates of the
Blackfoot Asylum

Once again comes the glad Christ
mas time, the anniversary of the
glorious Christ, who went about do
ing good" tho He had not where
to lay His head" He gave His whole
life to beautiful service for others,
and thereby obtained Immortality.
A large part of His ministry OF
healing consisted Of casting out de-
MONS" those torments of the mind.
We still have with us such victims
of disordered minds and the bounte-
GUS philanthropy of recent years has
been one of the most Christlike
things to which we have attained.
While l can tell you of many who
haYe gone out from here clothed in
their right mind nd breathing
thanks to you all for the benefits Of
this homelike retreat, we still have
to give you this heart-enlarging op-
portunity to contribute to the Christ
mas happiness of the $40 we. still
have with US. They will all he SO
grateful to be remembered at this
time that it will surely make you
feel more than repaid for the gifts
you send.
Please have part in this CHEEKY
service. Send gifts you think SER
viceable and q little candy and fruit.
1nose Of you who do not have friends
here should be so thankful that you
will feel like helping those here
and there are many-who have no
friends in all the world. What you
contribute will be acknowledged and
accounted for.
The board of directors and super
intendent take this time to thank all
who will contribute and the papers

Special Nurses at Each Building.
Arrangements for Exceptional
Ventilation,

Professor Vincent announces that
school will open Monday as tn eepi-
demic is sufficiently under control
now to make the opening Of school
safe. Special nurses will be in SER
vice at each building and each stu
dent, including high school students,
will be examined four times day

ever will compel the student in par
ticular to go home and remain until
completely recovered.
The attendance will not be en-
forced at this time, but ON the other
hand will be entirely optional with
the parents. Parents are urged to
send the children properly clothed in
warm, protective clothing in order

Around the Court House

AL Smith was arrested at Firth
Monday by the local sheriff, for the
unlawful possession of liquor. He
plead guilty and was fined $4,000.
Can't Out-wit Sheriff
In view of the fact that our neigh
Dor state, Montana, is about to go
dry, some people have attempted to
out wit the local authorities and
bring in a supply Of booze. Last
week this attempt was made by un-
known parties, but their efforts were
fruitless at Deputy Sheriff Hines "got
next" and seized four suitcases OF
the forbidden juice, Wednesday
morning.
The suitcases we're unclaimed
and contained ninety-six pints In all
and the entire supply is in the hands
of the sheriff.
Two Firth Boys Arrested
The two .roft boys were arrested
this week at Firth, one for passing
a forged check on the Andrus store
and the other for burglarizing the
same store.
Both are small boys and the case
will be handled as juvinile delin-
quents.

FOR THE RETURNING SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON. - Representative
Smith of Idaho takes the position
that while it is all very we'll to give
the soldiers a badge of service as
proposed in legislation now pending,
more substantial recognition should
be granted them, as an evidence OF
the appreciation of the people of the
splendid service which they have
rendered the country. He Is en-
deavoring to secure the enactment OF
a bill giving each soldier ninety days
pay on discharge and PERMITTING him
to retain as his own the uniform fur
nished by the government, instead
of requiring him to return it within
three months, after his discharge, as
provided under existing law. The
uniform Of the discharged soldiers
could not be utilized by the govern
ment to any advantage, while it
would be very convenient and q
source of pride to the family and
friends of the soldier, for the boys
to have their uniforms for use on
occasions when they shall gather in
their reunions.

FOR THE
NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The
next popular loan to be issued in
the spring, probably will be known
as "the fifth liberty loan" Some
subtitle such as "Victory ISSUE"
however, may be appended. War
loan managers have decided that the
advertising value of the term liberty
loan, used so successfully four times
in the past, is too great to be dis
carded and will present their recon-
mendation to the new secretary Of
the treasury, Carter Glass, after he
takes office Monday.

home grown cabbage.
The old line of hot water pipes ex-
tending from the engine room to
the barn passed under row of hot
beds and have rusted out and now
have to be repaired. DR.. Jackson
thinks it would be profitable to build
a line of green houses to take the
place of hot beds in order that they
might sprout the garden seeds better.
DR.. Jackson thinks there should
be some new orchards set to take
the place Of the old one as it be-
comes necessary to remove the trees
from old age or other causes.
From all outward appearances 1t
seems that the institution is we'll
kept and we'll managed. DR.. Jack
son seems to take considerable IN
terest in the management Of the
farm and garden. He says he has
had considerable experience in farm
management during a great deal of
his life.

DEATH OF Russell SEWELL

Russell Sewell departed this life
on Wednesday morning at o'clock,
after long battle with influenza.
He was nearly recovered at one
time, but unfortunately took a re-
lapse and suffered long and hard.
He had much to live for and he bat
tied hard for life, but failed. He
leaves wife and family, friends and
business that will miss him. Not
many months ago he lost his father
and mother only a few days apart,
and recently relative visited his
home and while there died of in
fiuenza, so the hand of death has
rested heavily on the Sewell home.
/ Mr.. Sewell was chief of police in
Blackfoot for number of years and
engaged in the transfer business
since then. He was man of CHEEKY
disposition and ready smile for all,
and will be missed among men.

BLACKFOOT ASYLUM CONDF
TIONS LOOK FAVORABLE
UNDER THE PRESENT MANAGEMENT
Building Kept Sanitary; Patients Seem Happy.
Quantity of Food Produced From
Orchards and Gardens
DIR. JACKSON A FARMER

A representative of the Idaho Re-
publican visited the Blackfoot asy-
lum recently at midday and looked
thru the building just before dinner
and at meal time. DR.. Jackson, the
medical superintendent was just
preparing to go out somewhere, but
he cancelled his engagement and
very painstakingly showed the writer
thru the building. The building was
exceedingly neat and clean and
everything appeared to be kept in
a sanitary condition. As we passed
thru the various wards the patients
showed by their greetings and smiles
that they were all on friendly terms
with the doctor and all seemed to
feel free to chat with him and tell
him their little troubles which fact
showed that the patients have much
confidence in their doctor and re-
spect him. A number of the patients
expressed anxiety about getting re-
leased soon in order that they might
be home in time for Christmas.
There were nNmber of cases that
had been sent there as the result of
influenza.
Conditions are rather crowded and
the doctor suggested that the sum
porches be inclosed with glass, and
steam pipes and radiators be put in
and thus make comfortable quarters
that the patients can enjoy in the
cool weather and in the winter time
as we'll as in the summer time. The
doctor has plans under way for i'm
proving the ventilation in a good
many of the sleeping rooms by
placing cold air intakes beneath the
radiators.
The entire asylum farm consists
of about 1900 acres with about 500
under cultivation. DR.. Jackson says
it is possible to do a little grading
each year and thereby increase the
crop area.
The new cottage for the superin-
tendent that was built in 1917 has
never been furnished owing to the
lack of funds. DR.. Jackson and
family are living in it, or occupying
part of it, supplying their own furni-
ture.
Fruits and Vegetables Produced
Heretofore the fruits and vege-
tables that were produced have been
stored in Easements that were not
altogether suitable because of there
being steam pipes in connection,
which kept them too warm. A fine
new root cellar has been built this
year, with capacity for a few car
loads. At the present time it is full
to the brim with potatoes, onions,
carrots, beets, cabab bge and other
vegetables from the field and garden.
The gardens at the asylum farm are
extensive and cared for in way to
produce bountiful yield. The
tables are provided with an abun-
dance of vegetables at all times. In
the cellar were about thirty barrels
of krout which had been made from

share at the front and it is known

over the top" unhurt, three success
sive time before he made the su-
preme sacrifice.
Mr.. McKenna was born at Bear
Lake twenty-four years ago, and
when mere boy came to Blackfoot
with his parents Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
