LovELEss PRAYER FREED

Uniontown, April 21.-That there
is nothing in q name" is proved
wrong by a divorce case in which A.
Loveless Prayer, of Oliver No. /,
near here, was granted freedom from
Esther Prayer. According to the
testimony the prayers of the Prayers
were answered too extensively, as
children became so numerous in the
family that Mrs. Prayer decided to
emigrate, and nothing has been
heard from her since she wrote her
husband these words from West Vir-
ginia: I'm never coming back"

Berlin, April 21.-The cabinet de-
voted less than half an hour to the
formulation of its answer to the
Entente's invitation to Versailles for
the purpose of receiving draft OF
the peace terms. A feeling of gloom
prevails in official circles. The Asso-
ciated Press is told there are no
illusions as to obtaining any mitiga-
ton in the diCtatorial peace await
ing Germany.
Action Comes as Surprise
The procedure of the Council of
Four came as "a surprise, notwith-
standing the fact that the news for
the last week foreshadcWed 1t. 1t
is interpreted in cabinet circles ana
at the foreign office as final proof
that the Entente is disinclined forth
with to enter into negotiations based
on President Wilson's fourteen
points and that the terms await
Ing Germany are cut ana dried.
The German emissaries will mere
ly have instructions to carry the
peace document back to Berlin. TIE
question whether the present gov
ernment will assume the responsible
!ty of accepting or rejecting the
terms, or whether it wiz present
them for a national refer endum, IS
a matter of conjecture.
Any but Wilson Peace Unpopular
Official opinion, SO far as adduc-
eG, was opposed to the declaration OF
a referendum and in favor of a per-
emptory declination of peace terms
based on any other propcs.tion than
Mr.. Wilson's platform, as the present
temper of the German workingmen
is anticapitalistic and anticapitalistic
and the bourgeoisie is in full accord
with the proletariat.
The present government, it has
been learned, is not flirting with the
idea of plebiscite, as it would much
rather negotiate peace ard set the
country to work. But it IS also con-
scious that a peace settlement in
which Germany has not had a voice
would precipitate a storm Of national
resentment which no cabinet could
weather.
The communication from the En-
tente powers was received here last
Friday and the German answer was
wired back Saturday afternoon.

YOUR DOLLAR

A worker found a dollar-it
wasn't hard to find. there was
MT IN his pockets another of its
kind. He held it in his horny
palm and felt of it awhile, and
then addressed that dollar with
a reminiscent smile: | used

lage news. In fact,not very long
ago you were a useful PUNK,
out now, how you have wasted,
how awfully you've shrunk!"
The eagle on the dollar let forth
a feeble shrek, and Miss Co
lunbia answered in accents wan
and weak: ooh, please don't
blame us, mister, blame the men
who made us SO, the gentlemen
who make your laws and who
collect your dough. By voting
great bond issues and piling up
expense, they've killed our rep
utation, made us look like thil-
ty cents. And then they let the
pfofiteers boost prices to the
skies, andnow that they have
got them there isn't much we'll
buy. Eelieve me, mister Worker,

like again the days when we had

DELINQUENCY AMONG
IDAHO YOUTHS JUMPS
50 PER CENT IN YEAR
Alarming Situation Revealed in
Enrolment Figures of State
Training School-Nearly ALI
Boys. .

Juvenile delinquencies in the state
have increased so per cent since last
year IL the enrolment figures of the
STATE industrial training school at St
Anthony are any criterion.
Dr. e. A. Bryan, state commissioner
of education, announced Monday after
noon that the present enrolment at
the institution is 155 boys and As girls
as of Nov. /, as compared with 80 boys
and AZ girls last year, an increase Of
SO boys and two girls.
CAUSE is MYSTERY.
The reason for the increase IL q
puzzle to the department of educa-
ton. 1t may be that county officials
are more diligent than ever In search
ing out cases of children who need
corrective influences, or il may be that
the return of older boys from the war
has displaced the younger male gen.
GRAFTON in the business world, forcing
the boys into the idleness that breeds
mischief.
Dr. Bryan stated frankly that ne
would not hazard a guess on the rea-
son for the situation.
SHOWS IN COSTS.
The jump in enrolment has had
tremendous effect on the expenses of
the training school With 81 per cent
OF the biennium gone, 80 per cent of
the institution's maintenance fund has
been expended, practically all for liy-
ing expenses.
On the other hand the mana cement
has been able to get along with a less
percentage of salary expenditure than
the proportionate percentage of the
biennium called for.

SURE RELIEF FROM
FIERY SKIN DISEASE

through the skin and set up
their attack, and if you have
ever had any form of these skin
disorders, you know what real
torture is.
Follow the teachings Of sci
ence, and you will learn that
the skin is fed by the blood,
and naturally, then, the condi-
ton of your skin will depend
upon the condition of your
blood. If the blood becomes
infested with millions of tiny
disease germs that attack the
skin, then the fiery irritation
and intense itching will remain
with you until these germs are
attacked at their source and re
moved from the blood.
Genuine relief, therefore.
can only be expected from a
treatment that goes right to the
seat of the trouble, and strikes
at its cause. Such a. remedy
is S. S. S., the reliable. old
blood purifier that kills the
germs TO disease, and sends a
new supply Of rich red blood
coursing through the veins.
5. S. S. has been used sue
cessfully in some Of the worst
cases of eczema and other skin
disorders, and it can be relied
upon to cleanse the blood thor

cause these complaints. S. s.

system builder, and it builds
up and adds new vigor to the
whole system.

for skin diseases. Then If you

HIGH SCHOOL RALLY

Coming Football Battle Looked
Upon a. Key to champion
ship-victory Over Payette
Raises Local Hopes.

Boise high school students have for
gotten all about the poor start the
football team got this year, in their
citation at the victory over Payette last
Saturday, and now they are looking
forward to the contest scheduled for
the end of this week with all the en-
thusiasm and fond expectation OF all
season winners. Baker Is the next OPP
ponent.
Now Baker is a really tough propo-
sition. The Oregon gridiron warriors
have set out to make clean sweep
of both banks of the Snake river and
adjacent territory. and so far have
b.an pretty successful in doing so.
Therefore, in order to stimulate each
member Of the local team to deeds of
high emprise and fire them with a
spirit worthy of meeting the doughty
foe. plans are afoot to have another
Boise high school rally before the Sat
urday game. The students count on a
victory over Baker as retrieving any
ground they have have lost toward a
southern Idaho championship, and are
determined to win.

viii Never Come From SaIyes,
Ointments, or Other Local
Treatment.

Usually those who continue
to suffer from stubborn all
ments are those who refuse alb
sOlutely to heed the teachings
of medical science. New dis
coveries are being constantly
made, and those who fail to
take advantage of the wonder
full accomplishments of men of
science are standing in their
own light. and will continue
under the handicap of disease.
A million gallons of lotions,
ointments, salves,> or other
forms of local treatment will
not give any real permanent
relief from skin diseases. Get
this fact firmly in your mind,
and there is hope for you.
If you. have ever been af-
flicted with eczema, letter,
boils, eruptions, or other SINH
lar skin irritations you can APP
preciate the real terrifying dis
comfort that comes from these
disorders. And what you are
looking for is not merely tenn
porary, palliative relief that
may cause the terrible burning
and itching to abate for awhile,
but real genuine relief that
shakes off the shackles of the
disease, and restores the skin
to its former healthy condi-
ton.
But your eczema, letter,
boils, pimples, ache, scaly skin
eruptions, and burning fiery ir-
ritati0ns that cause so much
discomfort by their terrifying
Itching, come from a tiny dis
ease germ in your blood, which
mjll1iplies by the millions.
These germs find some weak
nal where they can break
