SIBERIAN SCOUTS CALL TO US.

The chain of boy scouts around the
world is one of the greatest guaran-

DON'T WHIP!
Stop Lashing Your Bowels
with Harsh Cathartics but
take "Cascarets. "

Everyone must occasionally give the
bowels some regular help or else suf-
fer from constipation, bilious attacks,
stomach disorders, and sick headache.
But do not whip the bowels into ac-
tivity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm. The
gentlest liver and bowel tonic is "Cas-
carets." They put the liver to work
and cleanse the colon and bowels of
all waste, toxins and poisons without
griping-they never sicken or incon-
venience you like Calomel, Salts, Oil,
or Purgatives.
Twenty-Five million boxes Of Cas-
carets are sold each year. They work
while you sleep. Cascarets cost SO
little too.-Adv.

times less expensive. Danger from
rats and other vermin is less in the
case of brine-cured pork. Both meth
DDS of curing are very successful if
care is taken to see that each opera
ton is executed correctly. Following
is the method of dry-curing: For each
100 pounds Of meat use pounds of
salt, "a pounds of sugar, 2 ounces Of
saltpeter, 2 ounces each of red and
black pepper. Mix all ingredients
thoroughly, then rub all of the guam
tity of this mixture over the meat and
pack 1t away in a box or on table
until cured Allow one day and a half
cure for each pound the pieces of meat
average.
Time and Material for Smoking.
Green hickory or maple wood is the
best fuel for smoking. Hardwood is
preferable to softwood. Resinous
woods should never be used. as they
give an Objectionable flavor to the
meat. Corncobs may be used, but
they deposit carbon on the meat, Civ
ing it dirty appearance.
Meat should be removed from the
brine when 1t is cured and not al
lowed to remain in the brine overtime.
When the meat is removed from the
brine it should be soaked for about
half an hour in water. If meat has
remained in the brine longer than
the allotted time, soak each piece half
an hour and three minutes extra for
each day overtime. The meat should
then be washed in lukewarm water,
strung and hung in the smOkehouse.
Do not hang the meat so that the
pieces touch. The space between the
meat is necessary to insure good cir
culation of smoke around the meat.
Allow the meat to hang in the
smOkehOuse for "a hours before begin
ming to smoke. A slow fire should be
started, so that the meat win warm
up gradually Do not get the house
too hot. The fire can be kept going
continuously until the smoking is
complete, holding the temperature as
evenly as possible at or near 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Thirty-six to forty,
eight hours is the time required to
smoke lot of meat, but if the meat
is intended to be kept for some time
slower and longer smoking is desira-
BILE. During warm weather it is bet
ter to start the fire every other day
rather than heat up the meat toe
much. In the winter, however, if the
fire is not kept going the meat may
cool and the smoke will not penetrate
properly. AS soon as the meat is
thoroughly smoked, open the doors
and ventilator, so that the meat car
cool. When the meat is smoked il
can hang in the smokehouse, but fol
absolute safe-keeping it should be
wrapped or packed away.
Dry-cured meat is better after SIX

EAGLE RANK is HARD WORK

"Just what does a boy have to do
to become an Eagle scoutF'
To become an Eagle scout, boy
must first reach the rank Of tirst-class
scout. Three months IS the minimum
time required, during which period he
performs % different tests, including
fire-building, cooking, opening bank
account, first aid and bandaging swim
ming, tracking, hikiRg, map drawing,
and study of trees, animals and
stars.
Then the scout is ready to begin
study for merit badges. These are en-
blems given for proficiency in certain
lines of study.
The test is passed before an exam
liner, who gives the boy certificate
in evidence of the work. The scout
now goes before court of honor, COM
posed of a group of business men, who
examine his credentials, and vote to
award him the merit badge.
When the scout has received five
merit badges in this way he is desig-
mated a Life scout. Ten badges give
him the rank of Star scout, while p
are required for the Eagle degree.
Many of these tests are far from
easy. In bird study, for example, the
scout must know and identify not less
than so different birds. In life-saving
he must be able to rescue a boy Of
his own weight in deep water. In camp
ing he must sleep in the open for sc
nights, and be able to make fire with
out matches. There are 50 merit
badge tests.

visilized to Max Thelen, railroad ad-
ministration representative, the neces-
sity of providing Refrigerator cars to
Canyon county farmers than several
hundred business men who halted a
city's progress for one entire day to
insure justice. If public opinion has
any weight with the railroad admins
tration, it would seem that the clear

unanimously demand service should
make that service reality.
Not local public spirited business
man opposed the proposal to suspend
business for one day. Few, if any,
will sustain any financial loss because
OF their action. And surely the fact
that Caldwell has life and energy
enough to put over a demonstration
of that kind almost on a moments
notice should be worthy advertise
ment. Farmers outside who learn OF
the feat will be convinced that Cald-
well is live city and that Canyon

TAXES AGAIN.

Canyon county recently shared with
most other Idaho counties a consider
able boost of assessed valuation b,
the state board of equalization. Which
rise was no surprise. And, in lieu o.
the demand for trebled state reve-
nue. to meet expenses this biennium
the increase was just and wholly with
in the bounds of reason. Canyon
county farmers can afford to meet
the additional assessment. Land val
ues have been soaring but they have
not yet reached a market price when
farm products will return no more
than reasonable percentage on the
investment. Lands will continue to
climb.
Developments during the week in
dictate that at least one of the public
utility corporations operating in Ida
no has been assessed, in the past, at a
figure far below that which the prop
erty should have borne The state
board of equalization made an error
of omission to which the corporation
tacitly agreed through the medium Of
silence.
Almost without exception, the valu-
ations of the public utilities will re-
main at approximately the same
figure they were given two years ago.
This was expected. Its was expected,
too, that city and country property
would be materially boosted. State
revenues must be greatly increased
and realty seems to be the most avail
able source of that revenue.
OF the money to be expended by
Idaho this year, over and above that
of the annual expenditures for the
last biennium, roads will get most Of
it. Governor Davis is insistant in his
declaration that actual operation of
the state government forces will not
cost more than it has under the old
system. Practically every additional
cent to be spent this biennium will go
to much needed permanent improve
ments.

POLITICS BUBBLES.

In the current issue of The indie
pendent may be found the following
rather startling statement written by
Donald Wilhelm:
Il am able to state authoritatively
through The Independent that new
Republican party-a third party-will
be in the field in the coming cam
paign; that long steps have already
been taken to accomplish it; that
Hiram w. Johnson, of California, will
be its candidate for the presidency.
Reading between the lines being
run out from Washington these days,
and putting together bits gathered
here and there from reliable sources.
it is possible to say on fairly good
grounds that the new party will do
these things:
u. 1t will stand squarely against a
League of Nations-at the very least
against league without reservation.
"2. 1t will anti-EngIish, pro-Irish,
anti-Japanese.
"3. 1t will stand for public over
ship of public utilities
n. 1t will carry the endorsement
of the Nonpartisan League"

SPLENDID SPIRIT.

There was something fine in the
way in which Caldwell business men
last week rallied to the support OF
Canyon county farmers in their effort
to obtain cars to handle the crop.
Wednesday evening when DR.. F. NJ.
Cole proposed to a special meeting OF
Commercial club members that Cald-
well business houses should close
Thursday and permit everyone there
by to enter the fight for refrigerators,
such enthusiasm greeted the idea that
the motion never came to a vote.
Send five hundred men to Boise"
was the cry which was raised and
business of obtaining automobile
pledges to fake everyone so engrossed
those present that it was impossible to
put the motion to the house.
Such q spirit is entirely commend
