PLEA MADE TO
SAVE EAGLES
Writer in Saturday Evening Post
Asks the People to Help in Stop
ping Slaughter Of These
Birds in Alaska.

y Captain H. w. Shoemaker of Penn
sylvania, asks you to do what you
can to stop the slaughter of Amerl-
can eagles along the ALASKA coast, a
writer says in the Saturday Evening
Post. BY reason Of the government
bounty offer 800 eagles were killed
in eighteen months. This is an abso.
lutely unnecessary waste Of life.
Eagles have killed some OF the
young foxes on one or two fox pre-
serves on Alaska islands. though
they have never destroyed the wild
foxes of Alaska. in all the centuries
they have lived together.

1000 ACRES IRRIGATED,
NOW READY FOR SEED

A combination OF the energies,
knowledge, capital and experience of
three men OF the Idaho Falls district
has resulted in one OF the most com
plete and successful reciamation-by-
irrigation projects in the Northwest.
This new project includes c,C00 acres
on the west side of the Snake rirer,
between the city of Idaho Falls and
the town of Roberts, in jefferson
county.
Some Of the best land in Idaho.
over 1000 acres. has been brought un-
der irrigation by this project, and the
land is ready today for the seed and
success. The pipe line and the pump
ing plant are installed and the water
is waiting for the land; nd the cleo
trio power to set all in motion awaits
but the closing OF a switch. The soil
is said to be the best Of the lands -
the upper Snake river valley. With
the closing of a switch or two. big
motors drive a combined capacity OF
the pumps Of 10000 gallons OF water
per minute onto the now arid soil.
During the last year the Idaho Falls
district has progressed wonderfully.
No small amount OF credit for this
progress is due TO thp promoters and
originators OF irrigation projects SIM
liar to this one on the west side of
Snake river.

HOW TO HEAT BATH

In the average house the bathroom
is located above the kitchen, and, as
a general rule, IL is never quite warm
enough. Here is a way Of heating IL
free OF charge:
An, opening could be cut In the
ceiling above the hot water tank In
the kitchen, opening also into the
bathroom above, where a register
can be. placed. A great amount OF
heat will thus be carried TO the floor
above without losing any OF the heat
In the tank itself.

A NEW AnAEs1nErlc

Announcement Is made from the
laboratories of one Of the country's
largest chemical companies in New
Jersey of the development Of new
anaesthetic which eliminates pain
without the loss of consciousness and
whose use is followed by no undesir-
able effects.
The discovery is described rs a new
type of ether. highly refined and
modified by the addition of certain
gases which give desirable character
istica"
The announcement says tests which
have been conducted at the various
hospitals and clinics have demonstrat-
cd that the new ether IS thoroughly
practical.
Its ability to produce insensibility
to pain without loss of consciousness
1t is pointed out, opens up an entirely
new field of usefulness, including the
large class of operations which are
now performed without any attempt
whatever to eliminate pain The
most common of these are in dentist
ry, where the new ether will render
painless jaw operations or nerve
treatment; removal Of roots and drill
ing and filling. 1t is also said to
promise total relief in such practices
as sewing up wounds, opening and
treating Assesses and changing pack
ings and dressings.
The repute of the company which
publishes the announcement is such
that there can be no question Of the
qualities attributed to the new anaes-
thetic, and for that reason it is safe
to say that another great boon to sur
fering humanity has. been made avail
