roads and 10 cents per $1OO
valuation for bridges For years
past Bingham county commits
sioners have used all the law allows
and have in some instances, added
thereto any and all surplus from
other funds, and still cur roads cause
great worry.
Our county is valued at about $14,-
100000. We all realize it is worth
much more, but we hardly feel right
about confessing 1t to the assessor.
Ii we are to have better roads there
are only two methods of acquiring
them open to us |, o, we must either
raise the value Of the county to
nearer its actual value or bond the
county for sufficient amount to
supply the money.
Hundreds Of us have only lately
petitioned the commissioners for a
bond issue, specifying about ten
miles of road upon which we recon-
mend using the money. In addition
" thAc tAO lCuCIdl luuldu DEPART
ment has charged that our county is
responsible for the condition of the
Fort Hall road because it has refused
to do its part in paying for the same.
In view Of this petition and the Fort
HAL road situation our commission
ers have decided to put the matter
up to you, my fellow citizen, in the
form of an election to vote bonds in
the amount Of about $25O,0O0. The
money thus derived will be spent in
making about twenty-three miles of
pavement and in erecting a new
bridge over Snake river, where the
long condemned Porterville bridge
now stands.
That is a lot of money and il pro-
perly spent will bring great deal
of good to the people Of this county.
We suggest that, where possible, the
commissioners let work, particularly
team work and hand labor, to home

PENNSYLVANIA EDITv..S WOULD
WIPE BERLIN OFF U. s. MAP

PITTSBURG, Pa.-The Pennsyl-
vania city editors association wants
to see the name of Berlin" as ap-
piled to town or city, wiped off the
map Of the United States. To effect
this 1t is sending the following letter
to the, mayor of burgess of every
place carrying the name:
There is only one Pershing. and
we wish we had more; there are a
great many Berlins, and each is one
too many It is respectfully sug-
gested that your community begin
the new year with a new name
Pershing.
will you do it,"
H. R. Kroh, president of the PEN
nsylvania organization, said the idea
came when he read that a village in
central Illinois had taken the name
of Pershing.
THAT there should be some
twenty-five or more 'Berlins' and
only one 'Pershing' seemed some
thing that called for, quick and
ready remedy, hence the suggestion"

TO HOUsEKEEPERS

Mrs. Brokaw. chairman of tn,
home economics department, callet
meeting at her home consisting o.
sixteen ladies from the different
churches and others of no like af
tiliation, to canvass thoroly the mat
ter of holding food demonstrations
this fall The vote taken proved
emphatically the opinion of those
present was that it is not advisable
or necessary. The housekeepers are
all in accord on the subject of saving
food and using substitutes and have
their time fully occupied with vari-
GUS war industries.
1t was further determined that
each woman present was to develop
and fully test practical receipt
whereby both saving and substitutes
would be promoted, that these should
be brought to the chairman who in
turn would have them printed in the
various newspapers of the county.
Some Of the receipts are to be espec-
tally applicable to Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinners.
Mrs. Brokaw has been making
leaves Of fruit cake that she would
like to have sampled by the boys
"over there" in the following man
ner: Anyone desiring to place q
slice of fruit cake in the carton that
is to be sent to soldier and not hav-
ing such on hand will receive a three
ounce piece from Mrs. Brokaw gratis
for this purpose.
Sauer Kraut
The following directions for max
ing sauer-kraut are timely:
A layer of shredded cabbage four
to six inches in depth is placed in
the bottom Of the cask or par. Dairy
salt or the best grade Of table salt
is sprinkled over the surface at the
rate of one pound of salt to forty
pounds Of cabbage. The layer added
is bruised or tamped with q hard
wood surface, similar to a large
wooden potato masher. Another
layer is added, sailed and tamped,
until the par or cask is heaping full
IL desired, few juniper berries may
be added to give a distinct flavor.
A quantity Of loose cabbage leaves,
thoroly rinsed, Is laid over the kraut
and a porcelain plate or perforated
wooden cover fitted to the inside of
the jar, is placed on. A clean stone
is placed on to weight the lid down
as the process Of curing progresses.
II tamping has been thoroly done,
contents of par, other than the stone
weight, will be covered with liquid.
Protection from dust particles and
flies may be provided by tying several
layers Of cheese cloth securely over
the jar.
Kraut made early in the season,
cures in from sixteen to twenty days. |
Later in the season, the curing pro-
cess continues for three or four
weeks. Since temperature of So |
GA degrees Fahrenheit is most fav-
orable to the meteorological action
which effects the curing. it is best
to place the cask or jar in a cellar
or cave. Several days should be al
lowed after the kraut is cured before
it is used. The curing process is
completed when bubbles cease to
rise at the edge Of the jar. This can
be determined by removing the cloth
cover occasionally.

should be taken that all such dis
charges are collected on bits OF
gauze or rag or paper napkins and
burned. If the patient complains OF
fever and headache, he should be
given water to drink, a cold compress
to the forehead, and light sponge.
Only such medicine should be CIV
en- as is prescribed by the doctor. It
is foolish to ask the druggist to pre-
scribe and may be dangerous to take
the so-called "safe, sure and harm
less" remedies advertised by patent
medicine manufacturers.
If the patient is so situated that he
can only be attended by some one
who must also look after others in
the family, it is advisable that such
attendant wear a wrapper, apron or
gown over the ordinary house clothes
while i'll the sick room, and slip this
off when leaving to look after the
others.
Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing in dan
gerous disease germs by wearing
simple fold of gauze or mask while
near the patient.
In guarding against disease of all
kinds it is important that the body
be kept strong and able to fight off
disease germs. This can be done by
having a proper proportion of work,
play and rest, by keeping the body
well clothed, and by eating suffic-
lent, wholesome and properly select
ed food. In connection with diet, ii
is well to remember that milk is one
of the best all round foods obtainable
for adults as well as children. Sol
far as disease like influenza is con-
cerned health authorities everywhere
recognize the very close relation be-
tween its spread and over crowded
homes. While it is not always pos
sible, especially in times like the
present, to avoid such over crowding, |
people should consider the health |
danger and make every effort to re-
duce the home over-crowding to a |
minimum. The value of fresh air
open windows cannot be ov-
er emphasized.
Where crowding is unavoidable, as
in street cars, care should be taken
to keep the face so turned As not to
inhale directly the air breathed out
by another person.
It is especially important to be-
ware OF the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
or nose. It also follows that one
should keep out of crowds and stuffy
places as much as possible, keen
homes, offices and workshops well
aired, spend some time out Of doors
each day. Walk to work If at all
short make every
possible effort to breathe as much
pure air as possible.
aCover up each cough and sneeze.

SPANISH INFLUENZA"-"THREE
DAY FEVER"-"THE FLU

The disease now occurring in thi
country and called Spanish Influ

kind of cold, accompanied by few

or other part of the body, and a feel
ing OF severe sickness. In most Of
the cases the symptoms disappear il

cases die. Whether this co-called
Spanish" influenza is identical with
the epidemics of influenza of earlier
years is not yet known
There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish in
tluenza' can be recognized; on the
other hand recognition is easy where
there is a group of cases. In con-

coughs and colds, which usually &C.

with influenza feels sick rather sud-

dlzzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tlents complain of being chilly, and
with this comes fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In
most cases the pulse remains rela-

WASHINGTON.

 Representative Moore of Pennsyl- vania opposed the bill as a non parti : san League measure. sponsored by A. ~ TOwnlcy president of the league. up- on whose platform he claimed Repre- sentative Baer was elected.
 Representative Stephenson. South Carolina. sought in vain to restrict the broad authority the bill gives to the secretary of agriculture to mobilize tarm labor for harvesting of the 1918 grain crops. Alr. St--Gnnson proposed that agricultural labor should not be removed from states in violation of state laws nor from states in which that labor is needed.

 An unusually large number of ranchers were present and it was found that many had an entirely wrong impression in regard to both the benefits and the cost of the dam. Mr. Elliott presented data which de- icrmined that the revenue from the power and the actual saving on the construction would be about 75 cents per acre less than was first estimated
 When a standing vote was taken every one agreed to the plans present. ed and pledged themselves to enlight- en their neighbors who were not pres ent at the meeting
