Opposes Lawless Treatment.

The Idaho State Council OF De-
tense has received the following
important communication from the
Council OF National Defense dealing
with the Iawless treatment OF dlsloyal
subjects, which all county councils Of
defense should take cognizance of:
ITO the State Council Of Defense:
s'In the past few months 10 many
parts OF the country there has been
tendency toward lawless treatment Of
those suspected of disloyalty. How
ever patriotic may have been the
motives which prompted these out
bursts, their effect is deplorabe.
They are blots upon the war record of
a nation which has declared itself to
be fighting for universal reign OF
law; they furnish ammunition to
those makers of enemy propaganda
who are trying TO make the world
believe that the enemies Of Germany,
too, are capable OF atrocities; and
frequently by rousing anger and fear,
they tend to undo the work which
the councils of defense, through their
educational campaign, their Ameri-
zation work, and their community
organization have done and are sue
cessfully doing to unite the nation in
the fellowship OF war work.
1.-THE only way TO prevent such
n.American occurrences is by setting
against them the full weight Of pub
lie opinion. The Council Of National
Defense, therefore, calls upon the
state councils Of defense aud theiI
county and local councils, as the
leaders OF organized public opinion o.
the country, to bring home to thu
isolated communities which tolerate
such disorders the fact that whateve
their purposes 10 effect they embarras
the government and weaken th
fighting power of the country.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
Uncle Sam Will Give You Free Advice
on This Vital Subject.

Wv Nbkat 00bJGShs
Health insurance has grown to be
more and more recognized as a vital
factor in the welfare of any commu-
nifty. Vigorous campaigning on the
part of federal, state and municipal
health authorities has led to the pre-
vention Of a great deal Of unneces-
sary disease, but to be really success
full the cooperation of citizens is con-
sidered essential.
You have insured your merchandise
against loss" says a bulletin of the
United States public health service.
you have insured your house and barn
against fire. You have perhaps even
taken out an insurance policy to pro-
vide the necessaries of life for your
family in case you become Ill. But
have you given to the question of pre-
venting such illness the thought and
study that so important matter de-
serves?"
The United States public health serv-
ice devotes much of its time and eff
fort to the study of preventable dis
eases and has issued numerous pam
phlets containing the fundamental
principles of disease prevention. They
are sent free of charge on request.
Among them are included Typhoid

EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.
Something About the Sea of Air In
Which We Live.

Something About the Sea OF AiF U"
Which We Live.
We crawl about on the bottom OF
sea of air. Only very recently have
we learned to swim in it. We call the
performance flying"
The gaseous mixture composing this
ocean of air is so fluid and transparent
that we hardly realize its presence.
Doubtless fishes In like manner are not
conscious of the water in which they
swim.
But the air is much denser than we
imagine. A small child blows up toy
balloon. Probably the air inside the
inflated rubber bag is at a pressure OF
no more than two atmospheres, yet the
balloon has become In effect a solid
object. A cubic foot of air weighs
considerably over an ounce. A dry
goods box three feet cube will contain
two and one-half pounds of air. This
means. of course, at sea level.
AS one climbs mountain or goes up
in a balloon the air becomes thinner
its density diminishing steadily until
perhaps $50 or 200 miles from, the sur
face of the earth there Is virtually
none of it left. 1t Is reckOned that one
half of the entire bulk Of the atmos-
nhere is below the three mile level.
The sea of air is a warm sea, con-
serving the heat delivered by the sun
upon the earth. IL it were suddenly
removed we should find ourselves ex-
posed to the cold Of outer space t46d
below zero F. and would be frozen

Public Service Commission
Renders Decision in I'M
- portant Service Case

In deciding that the Shenango
Valley Electric Company must FUR
nish service to a resident of Farrell
who complained that the company
had refused because of the cost of
extension, Public Service Commis-
sioner John s. Killing rules, 1T can
not choose and serve only the Sec
tions Immediately remunerative.
Whenever required to do so it
should, at its own cost and expense,
make all reasonable needed extern
sions. The law does not contem-
plate that the patron provide the
capital to make reasonable addi-
tions or extensions. The To-
cation, future prospects and all
other conditions must be considered.
. The high prices prevailing, as
we'll as the scarcity of labor and the
difficulty in securing capital do not
alone constitute a sufficient ground
to determine a proposed extension
to be unreasonable" Mr.. Killing
says that under no circumstances
should the burdens imposed by alb
normal conditions be placed on the
shoulders of the patrons.
In another opinion Commissioner
Killing dismisses the complaint of
the Bedford Fulton Telephone Co.,
against the Chapman's Run Mutual
Telephone Co., an unincorporated
company, finding that both had built
lines along a road prior to enact
ment of the public service company
law in 1913 and saying. Where two
telephone companies are operating
in the same territory there is no
authority in the commission to pre-
vent a patron from changing from
one to the other"
