RECLAIMING BLACK CANYON
LOOKS BETTER EVERY DAY
Emmett River Proposal Has Every
Evidence of Being Accepted
By Settlers

Emmett.-The proposed dam al
Black Canyon looks more promising
every day, and the committee and Of
ficials of the district are more opti-
mistic than ever.
Dcspairing of securing water from
the Boise river for retaining land in
the Black Canyon district between
Emmett and Caldwell, negotiations
looking to joining with the Emmett
Irrigation district in the construction
of the dam have been opened by Mr..
Babb, representing holders of be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres of land
i'll the Black Canyon district, and it is
expected that definite proposition
along those lines will be made. II
such union of forces becomes a
realty, it is estimated that the cost
of the works to the Emmett distric,
will he reduced in the proportion that
the acreage in the district bears to the
lands that come in from outside the
district.

father, A. ]. Sullivan, had sent her for
it to kill gophers. While talking to
young Yates, she drew the vial from

the whole valued at more than
$4,000. Much of the jewelry was

BANKS PLEDGES
EFFICIENT JOB
Aspirant For State Treasurer
Position Announces Can
didacy and Platform

Dan Banks, in a statement to Idaho
Republicans, issued Sunday, in which
he announces his candidacy for the Of
flee of state treasurer, pledges himself
to faithful. impartial and efficient
administration of that office in the
event OF his election. The statement
is as follows:
Following the suggestions Of
friends, both in my home county Of
Canyon and in various parts of the
state, who are informed as to the
character Of my service in the state
department Of finance, and believing
that the office to which aspire
should be filled by man Of expcr-
fence in state financial affairs, I here.
by announce myself candidate for
the nomination for treasurer of the
state Of Idaho by the Republican state
convention to be held at Pocatello.
With the exception of three years
in the United States army service on
the Mexican border and in France,
my connection with the party under
whose banner I desire to appear has
been active and consistent through
out My contact with the peoples of
foreign lands has only decpened my
regard for American institutions and
strengthened my belief that the prin-
oiples of government as laid down by
the fathers of American independence
and so gloriously upheld by the Re
publican party are sacred and should
he held inviolate.
Familiar with Problems.
During thirteen years. residence in
Idaho the many perpiexing problems
OF state government have naturally
come before me, both on a newspaper
man and as a state financial officer.
Among the .gravest problems arc
those dealing with taxation and state
finances. As chief of the bureau of
budget and taxation there has been
accorded me an unusual opportunity
for the study of these questions--a
study which has, I think, evolved an
efficiency along these lines that can
not but prove of value to the people
in the office of state treasurer.
With an intimate knowledge of the
finances of the state, the relation of
one state department to another, and
the duties of the various state Off.
GERS, feel am qualified to discharge
the duties of state treasurer, both as
state officer and as member Of
the state board of equalization, in an
efficient. economical manner.

TOO MANY GIRLS
HAVE THE Giants

Too many Of the young girls Of
today have case Of the "ean'ts. "
They have not learned to do the
things that are required in the home,
Their domestieity has not been cult
vared. They concern themselves in
being attractive. They paint, powder
and dress to an unnatural degree.
They are living in a "fooPs paradise"
for the purpose of enlisting mascu-
line attention. No matter how women
dress what they do or how foolish
their ideals they will always be at
tractive to the masculine eye. With
all their faults and follies men will
always have for them the happiest
and most earnest regard. But men
will endure, not admire or applaud
their faults, Theater parties, enter
tainments, automobiles, picture shows
many things are engaging the
whole attention of young women
Caring for the home, helping their
mothers, looking after the sick, help
ing with the other children, sewing
menQlng-stil are IOISlSH " IiCli
thoughts. Many Of them marry and
become the queens Of homes and can
not cook an ordinary meal. They are
absolutely without home training.
The foolish follies of girlhood will
have to be abandoned when home is
begun. A home, the unit of society
and civilization, can not be builded
upon the left-overs Of butterfly ex-
istence. A painted face, hidden
freckles, or phraseology that indi-
Gates too much experience, will not
make good foundation upon which
to build a home of happiness, If par
ents would take more pains with the
training Of their girls, they would
noe suffer so many pains on account
Of their conduct in later years. A
doll is a plavthing and is not fit for
a wife. A doll is for little children;
a grownup man has no use for one.
Girls should be trained to love the
home and to be homekeepers. Any
other course is likely to make a
thorny matrimonial path that may
lead to sorrow and lifelong regret.

San Francisco, Calf.
To the Commercial Appeal:
Please be so kind as to publish
this letter because it will cure those
of your readers who are suffering
from tuberculosis. | am just a work
ing man and have nothing to gain by
having this published besides having
the satisfaction of making known the
cure for this disease.
/ have had slow consumption for 10
years and during this time have been
experimenting upon myself with diff
ferent drugs, drugs which have never
before been tried for the cure Of this
disease. | finally thought Of using
sulphur internally and tried it and it
cured me-. | claim that sulphur will
cure any one Of tuberculosis. Buy
only the pure sulphur in a drug
store. 1t is very cheap. Don't use
ordinary commercial sulphur because
this is apt to contain certain inn
puriCies, such as arsenic, ETC. Use
only pure sulphur bought in a drug
store. Every morning take two or
more teaspoonfuls Of sulphur Wash
the sulphur down with a glass or two
of water. Get some iron sulphate
from a drug store. Dissolve every
morning very small pinch Of iron
sulphate in a glass of water and
drink it.
Iron sulphate is an astringent and
counter@ets the excessive laxative
effects of the sulphur. 1t is the sui
phur that cures the disease, not the
iron sulphate; any other astringent
may be used instead of iron sulphate,
as for example lime water, but iron
sulphate is the best
How l came to think Of sulphur as
cure for consumption was in this
way: had tried injecting certain
powders into my lungs, such as lime,
borax, etc, by means Of atomizers
and had become worse and worse,
and then the idea came to me that
If | could get at the germs in some
other way. as for example by means
of some gas liberated from the blood
in The lungs, that is, by means of
some gas exhaled from the lungs,
said gas being poisonous to tubercu-
losis germs, that | could kill the
germs in this way. And then /
thought perhaps if sulphur is swal-
lowed internally every day it will
chemically combine with water in the
intestines and form hydrogen sui
phide gas,
Part of this hydrogen sulphide gas
will be exhaled through the lungs,
come in contact with the tuberculosis
germs and kill them. It is well
known that the bowels, the kidneys,
the skin and the lungs compose the
excretorv sys EN- of the body. Hence
it would be natural to suppose that
some Of this hydrogen sulphide gas
would be excreted through the lunes.
And such | have found to be the
case, because this gas killed the
germs in nv lungs, ANY sufferer
from this disease, by following these
simple directions. can be cured in
from six 70 eight months.
The daily desc Of sulphur may be
increased or decreased according to
the laxative effects, Sulphur has
been known before as laxative ard
blood purifier but to my knowledge
has never before been tried as a
cure for tuberculosis. 1t is verv
probable that sulphur taken in this
wav will cure influenza.
Expecting that YOU will publish
this letter for the rood it will. do,
am, Yours truly,

Knoxville, TennS July 29,-Any
member Of the Tennessee legislature
may vote either for or against the
Susan B. Anthony amendment when
it comes up for ratification at the
special session of the legislature,
which is scheduled for August 5,
without violating his oath Of office,
according to an opinion rendered here
Wednesday by Gen. James A. Fowler,
former assistant United States at
torney-general under President Taft,
in reply to querv nut by State SEN
ator E. E. Patton, Republican.
The provisions Of the State and
Federal constitutions which appear
at first glance to contradict each
other, do not do it in reality. Gen.
Fowler holds. as in his opinion, the
provisions of the State constitution
which requires that the legislature
which acts upon a Federal constitu-
tional amendment be elected after
the amendment is passed by CONGRESS-

HOW TO DESTROY
FALL ARMY WORKS.

Many complaints have been re-
ceived by Dir. E. r. Lloyd, director
Of the farm bureau Of the Chamber
Of Commerce, recently about the
grass worm, or fall army worm,
which has threatened to destroy
large part of the cotton plants in
the tri-states, says the Memphis
Commercial Appeal Of July 81
In some sections the worms have
quit work and have begun spinning
their webs, while in other sections
they are still very active. These
worms prefer grass. corn and sorg-
hum and when these crops are eaten
out they go after cotton, ragweed and
other plants, according to DR.. Lloyd.
The worms have destroyed the
grass and young corn in some sec
tion and are now doing some damage
to the cotton plants by cutting small,
tender limbs from the plant. The
farm bureau reports that the only
method of control is to poison the
pests. The following prescriptions
are equally effective:
One pound of paris green, mixed
with from four to six pounds Of slack
lime or flour, 16 pounds of which
mixture should be used to the acre,
This powder should be applied to the
cotton plant either late in the even
ing or early in the morning, when the
dew is on the leaf, so the moisture
will make a paste that will stick to
the leaf, where the worm can get it
Arsenate of lead or Calcium arsenate
can be used in the same way as Paris
green. The poison should be applied
as soon as the worms annear.

PEACE, PROGRESS, PROS
PERITY PARTYs SLOGAN

Washington, D. c., July b.
Peace, progress and prosperity" is
the three-word slogan adopted BY
the Democratic leaders for the COM
ing compaign, Chairman White, of
the national committee, announced
here today. adding that with such a
slogan and with the Democratic rec
ord, the party could feel "Cox-sure

White believes the three words
form a winning combination. In his
opinion the voters will look upon Cox
and Roosevelt as the representatives
Of the progressive thought Of the ma

in every State in which progressive
principles have been nurtured. He is
especially confident this policy viii

ding that any plans to restrict the
amounts of gifts would be useless
since such could be easily circum-
vented.
The new national chairman, in dis
cussing campaign developments, de-
clared that Gov. Cox, "as the nomi-
nee Of the San Francisco convention"
has become the new head Of The
Democratic party.
With respect to interpretations
placed on the recent conference at
the White House between President
Wilson and Gov Cox on the league
Of nations issue, Mr.. White said there
were no ironclad contracts entered
into and there was a certain amount
of elacticity in the statements. Mr.
White said he had not received an
invitation to the White House, but
he expected to "call and leave his
card" He added that whether he
saw the president at this time de-
pended entirely on the White House.
The argument which will be made
on the league question will be that it
represents a progressive idea and Is
opposed by the elements of stand
