INFLUENZA MAKES

68 Cases Reported Since We'd

Officials Prepare to Combat
the Disease.

Influenza has broken out at Noun
tain Home in proportions which may
indicate the return of the dread pan
demic to Idaho. Sixty eight cases
have developed there since last We'd
nesday, the first evidence this winter
of anything like serious return of the
disease to the state.
DR.. E. z. Laubaugh, director of the
public health service bureau in the de-
partment of public welfare, went to
Mountain Home Sunday to look into
the situation. He returned there this
afternoon to meet with the mayor, the
city council and the county commits
sioners for the purpose of advising
them of the steps that must be taken
to halt the disease.
All during the winter reports have
been coming in of single cases, and
state health officials had begun to feel
confident that the state would prob
ably escape the disease this winter in
any great proportions. =
"Since the outbreak at Mountain
Homo indicates that there may be a
serious return of the disease, we feel
that the public should be warned to
increase whatever precautions have
been taken against the disease" said
DR.. Laubaugh.
THE few main preventative meas
ures which should be followed are:
Avoid crowds; get lots Of fresh air;
avoid handling objects that other per-
sons have handled; wash your hands
frequently and keep them from about
your face and mouth: cover up your
coughs and sneezes: treat every cold

First-All the Democrats It the con-

treaty ratification with reapouab1e Foors

Second-Democrats are not yet
agreed on q definite program; the Ken

acceptable to all.
Third-It was the unanimous view
that the president does not want the
treaty taken into the campaign any
more than William J. Bryan does and
that IL the senate will send him res
ervations showing the United States -
friendly and not antagonistio to the
treaty he will accept them.
There was no suggestion Of q revolt
against the presidents leadership and
no disposition to follow Bryan.
senator HITCHCOCK Olocueeln8 Ino
conference said today:
ANY suggestion Of q revolt against
the president is absurd. There are not
more than three Democrats who would
join any such movement"
All senators today received telegrams
from Bryan, urging ratification before
next Friday, the date Of the first meet
ing Of the league of nations.
II very honestly hope that it may b.
possible to secure an agreement on the
reservations and ratification before
next Friday, SO that our nation can en-
ter the league of nations At its first
session on Jan. 49," Bryan wired. 'sTho
Joy of the American people sure Will
be as universal as It was whom the ar-
mistice was signed"
Senators said ratification by next
Friday is out Of the question, but exc
pressed the hope that the present week
will bring the date OF ratification ap-
preciably nearer

opportunit es on the Farm.

There was time when the idea was
altogether too common. that the occu-
patton of farming was n sort of JUNK
pile where fate threw human discards
who lacked ambition intelligence or
perseverance enough to succeed In
any other calling in life, observes the
Christian Herald. Then along in the
late nineties there was a hack to the
land movement" and ''mossback" and
"hayseed" were relegated to the col
umns of obsolete slang.
The farmer sees life and growth on
every hand. Even in winter, in the
localities where the landscape seems
a symbol of death with snow and ice
holding everything in its grasp, there
Is the hope of renewed life, or resur-
rection as it We're, typitied by the
stores of seed grain laid away for
the next springs planting.
Truly, on the farm there are special
opportunities for observation and
thought and happy Is the farmer

bottom of his milk pail and whose
pasture fences are not the boundaries

to determine the truth of the asser-
ton recently made by Youths Com

homing instincts, and was disappoint-
ed, Miss Dora Read Goodale tells In
the Springfield Republican.
Some time ago. she writes, l read
that the unassuming toad has the
"homing instinct to as great Il degree
as the homing pigeons, and the asser-
ton was supported by detailed ac-
counts of various toads that were re-
moved to distance but returned to
their native haunts even before their
owner or landlord. Therefore, on a
fine Sunday morning I caught in my
garden a portly toad, whose puffy cor
pulency suggested that he had exc

a red thread round his leg like bauge

MAKING Starch From Potatoes.

The manufacture of starch from
potatoes is not complicated process,
the drying, however, being somewhat
painStaking. The tubers are first
cleaned, then ground. This sets the
granules of starch free. The ground
mass is then washed with cold water
and the starch settles at the bottom.
This is collected into watts, spread out
on shelves and artticially heated. 1t
dries into humps and is then the cont
mercial starch. The residue from
this manufacture is like alcohol mash,
a valuable cattle food. 1t may also be
used as fertilizer. With characters

Thouoht Cane Ann Greenland.

Cape Ann, which furnished a bleak
and barren haven for adventurous ex-
plorers, was settled temporarily only
three years after the Mayfower ar
rived at Plymouth. Some evidence in
dicates that Thorwald's "Cape of the
Cross" which he thought to be pro-
lection of Greenland, was the bleak
Cape Ann. Capt. John Smith landed
on what Is now Cape Ann. and called
1t Tragabigzanda in honor of Turk
ish Pocahontas who did not risk her
head, but who fed him while he was Il
prisoner. Captain Smith explored the
coast within two decades before the
Pilgrims came.
Reports like that of Captain Smith
"angling with hook, and crossing the
sweet air from isle to isle" attracted
many English fishing vessels. How
ever the early settlers seem to have
sought their subsistence largely
through agriculture. 1t was not until
100 that the northeast corner of
Massachusetts became identified par
ticularly with fishing.

vi tne spirit III an invisible nm VETS
ting the bore of the tube, or chemical
combination of the spirit with the
glass or evaporation through invisible
cracks-but it is now believed that an
explanation SIMPLER than the early
ones is available. Mercury thermom-
eters sealed off when almost filled,
contain practically no air, the tubes
thus being given the reduced internal
pressure favoring shrinkage. But
spirit thermometers are sealed with
the bulbs in freezing mixture, so
that they may contain as much air
as possible, and such bulbs are con-
stantly subjected to an internal pres
sure greater than outside. This gives
the tendency to expand, allowing the
spirit to fall too low in the tube.

ALL ARE TALLER LYING DUW"
e.ct Which at First Seems Peculiar u
Easily Susceptible Of seien-
tific Proof.

How many people are aware thai we
are shorter when standing than wheh
living. and taller In the morning INA"
in the evening?
An Enplishman was the first to dis-
cover this. but afterward pocto,
Marand of the Royal academy Vi
France made several experiments 10
prove the theory. He found at'er
years trial that usually in the night
ne gained almost thsee-eighths OF an
inch. and lost almost as much durihs
the day. The cause of this IS 10 pe
found in the different state or cohui-
tion of the carriages when go "
make up the spine.
The Joints of this part of our Dod-
les are separated and yet joined oy
particular bony substances, every one
OF which has a springy residence.
These are capable of yielding Oh all
sides without bending the backbone or
spine itself. OF course, the difference
is scarcely perceptibe in one JOINT
alone. but the combined effect Is ap-
preciable Naturally, when the spine
is supporting the weight Of the head 1t
IS liable to contract, and we are tall
er after lying down for some time
than after we have been walking
about all day with our bodies IN an
upright position. with the spine sup
porting the weight of the head.
At night time, when we lie down IN
a more or less horizontal position
these top parts do not weigh so heav-
! lily, and the springy muscles being ex-
banded. our spines consequently be
come longer.
Another proof of this is to be found
in the increase of height sometimes
experienced by invalids who have spent
a long time in bed; and also in Tho
fact that the more rest young chile
has, the taller he will grow.-Londor
