FARM LABOR IN IDAHO
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAoR)

22oo men this year, and they expect
to employ 1907 more men for the
season. They estimate 29,074 men
will be needed for short periods.
1.-THE uumber Of men required TOT
different periods is somewhat exag-
gerated, A. large number of these
m IN have been supplied to this date
and besides, there will be considerable
community work done to relieve Inc
situation" says Mr.. Thometz.
The report on the labor situation is
estimated to be go per cent complete,
Indicating that less than 1000 farm
hands will be needed this season over
last In the state. And as Mr.
Ttometz points out, many OF the
farmers have employed the men they
will need throughout the season.
AS whole the report would indi :
cate that the labor situation can be
successfully handled in the state
despite the loss of large numbers te

MODERATE DRINKING lMPAiRs
ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH
mi nRC

New experiments on the effect OF
alcohol upon vision by DR.. Hugo
Schultz of the archaeological insti-
tute in the University of Griefswald,
were recently reported In L'Abstin-
ence," says Emma l.. Frausvean in the
American Issue. 1.-THE ability of men
to distinguish between red and green
after taking alcohol and caffeine, was
tested upon seven persons. Control ex-
periments were of course made upon
other subjects who had taken neither
alcohol nor caffeine.
1.-THE alcohol experiments were made
with light beer, with Rhine wine con-
tanning little alcohol, and with brandy
and champagne. The quantities used
were: $50 &C. of beer, 100 of wine,
100 of champagne, 20 Of brandy. The
quantity of alcohol taken in each ex-
pertinent was therefore a little less
than 10 &C. In most cases the absorb
ton of the alcoholic liquor caused a
clearly appreciable diminution of the
ability to distinguish red and green.
This diminution was stronger for red
than for green.

1.-THE influence of caffeine is totally

ity to distinguish light red and deep

Proper Food for Weak stomach

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
'masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect. M adv
