Auto Intoxication

Auto intoxication is caused by the
absorption Of poisonous substances
produced in the gastro-intestinal
tract. Its sym ptonns are: Headache,
vertigo, lassitude. sometimes insom-
MIA and fever.
Eating while the food in the stom-
ach is not yet quite digested often
causes auto intoxicatior.

cake three times a day an hour be-
fore meals. Not more than three
meals. Drink glass Of warm water
one half hour before breakfast every
morning.
Avoid rich food, pastries, fried
dishes, sweets, stirnulants, coffee
tea in excess.
Eat plenty of spinach, carrots and
other well-cool.ed vegetables, lettuce

measure to the tune of to 2. The
game was one of the fastest and
cleanest ever witnessed in a country
town. Both teams played practical
ly errorless ball. The battery for
Kendrick was McCrery and Forest,
and for Orofino Morrison and John
son. Three hits were secured off
McCrery and seven off Morrison,
however, Orofino won by playing
tight ball. the locals facing such
conditions as one and two men on
base and no outs in number of
innings, but managed to pull
through all right. An error IN left
field by Kaufman accounts for one
of Hendricks runs, only one other
error being chalked up against the
home team. Kendrick played ex-
cellent ball but simply could not hit
when hits counted.
Although there was drizzline
rain Sunday morning and in the
early afternoon, the weather cleared

May 1879 Fire
Prevention Week
PER CENT FIRES
ARE PREVENTABLE-0OV-
ERNOR SETS WEEK

One of the greatest assets that
Idaho has is the vast acreage of
timber within the boundaries of the
state. Each year the demon of fire
causes a loss of hundreds OF thous-
ands OF dollars to the government.
private Idaho companies, and to the
State. When we consider that a
great percentage of these fires are
preventable, our responsibility in
educating people in fire prevention
work looms large ahead of us.
Last year within the 1ntermoun
tain district of the Forest Service.
the expenditures by the government
, for fire suppression and fire pro-
lection reached nearly three hun
dred thousand dollars and the dam
age by fire exceeded that sum. This
was not the greatest loss. however,
in Idaho because in another of the
districts the expenditures and dam
ages totaled much higher.
Fire prevention Is a great ques-
tion in this country today Our
waste is enormous and inexcusable
when we consider it's possible pre-
ment reports, sixty-four per cent OF
the fires in Idaho last year were
preventable.
To cut loss to the minimum. we
must have three things; First:
Education in prevention; Second !:
Proper patrolling to discover in
cipient fires: Third; Active finan-
cial cooperation between state and
. Federal government
In order that centralized effort
in fire prevention education may be
! given to the people of Idaho. I am
designating the week or Nav 23rd
, to goth as FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK in the State of Idaho.
