a while they offered some of them
for sale, and got money of their own

presented for redemption they were
redeemed with county money and
regularly retired" In the mean
time, some more of them had been
sold, and members of the ring had
to stay in office to see that they were
properly retired when they came in.

experience should be reelected so
that the Indebtedness of Blaine

and it was done.
Comparing Blaine and Bingham
HALEY is the county seat of Blaine
county, and HALEY has never been
big town. Yet HALEY has had
two daily papers thru all the years
when these gratis. have been going
on. Publishers all over the state
have marveled at the village of Hal
ley supporting two daily papers, and
people have asked me perhaps fifty
times, why Blackfoot could not have
one or two dailies when HALEY has
two. l usually reply that l don't
know for sure why HALEY can sup
port two dailies and Blackfoot has
never supported one daily for very
long at time. A few years ago 1t
was amply proven in Bingham coun-
ty that the more corruption there
was in county administration the
more easily corrupt newspaper
could keep going, when it did not
perform a service that would merit
sufficient patronage to support it.
1t has often been said that po-
litical ring was broken up in Bing-
ham county some years ago, and that
one newspaper broke up when the
ring did Men whose political MEM
DRY reaches back a few years remem-
Der that county officials often spread
the propaganda very seriously that
experienced men should be kept in
office to handle the payment of
bonds and to properly take care of
the county's obligations. We had a
crash in county finances couple of
years ago and a newspaper came
near being interrupted in it's voca-
ton. All of these things do not
prove anything about newspapers in
Blaine county, but it shows that they
were in the midst of opportunity or
temptation, according to how they
took the surroundings. The next
chapter will bring matters down to
where you will begin to remember,
if you we're reading the news of the
state within recent years.

CHAPTER vi.

In chapter five told about Blaine
county issuing some bonds that were
defective because of a mistake in
the proceedings by which they were
authorized, and after a long delay
| on the part of the railroad company
the taxes were paid on condition
that the county officials stop their
grating in county warrants and
otherwise. The railroad tax man
scared them into mending their
ways, and when they had made a
good showing at reform he paid the
railroad tax, and others paid theirs.
Officials Tempted Again
These men were like others who
have a bad habit and get cured of
it, but not radically cured. While
they were feeling like they wanted
to be honest and clean up the mess,
they decided to reissue the bonds
and get them right. 1t takes long
time to put bond issue thru, and
by the time the new bonds were is
sued and signed and exchanged,
somebody had bright idea. Those
old bonds looked clean and good,
and the question arose, what to do
with them. The man with the
bright idea suggested that they be
put away very carefully where no.
body would get hold of them, and
this was done. Long afterwards he
was elected to office where he would
have the custody of the vault where
that package lay. He had friend
who was banker, and in the words
of the crooks, he was a man who
was right"
1t was finally arranged with the
banker that he was to bring in some
"outside money" by "hypothecating"
some bonds. We common people
need an explanation of such terms
as that. Outside money" usually
means some investors money from
some other state than your own or
from some other locality, and if a
banker hypothecates some bonds he
does just about what you and
would do if de soaked our watch.
They borrowed money on those old
bonds that were taken back in eX-
change for the new issue that was
made to correct an error.
At 1t Again
By the time they were redeemed
and redeemed with perfectly good
money, the men themselves began
to feel that they were good bonds,
The men they had borrowed the
money from supposed they were
good, and this transaction was cal
culated to remove any doubt that

ANNOUNCE CURE
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Prominent French Ply
sicians Give Views
of Remedy

TdTlS.-MeQlcal Circles III faT1s
are profoundly stirred by the an.
nOuncement from Brussels of a posi-.
tive cure for tuberculosis submitted
to the congress of medicine at its
session in the Belgian capital. Uni
versal Service is able to follow up
its exclusive cable dispatch of last
week telling of the cure with a
symposium by prominent French
specialists.
BY DIR. Charles A. Chard
Application by doctors Gremet and
Drouin in sulphates of smarium,
lanthanas and leodyme to pulmonary
tuberculosis is the logical conse-
quences of investigations carried on
for more than year in cases of
ganglionary or outanous tuberculosis
which in almost every instance have
been cured within shorter or longer
periods by this treatment.
1t is possible to state that incipient
tuberculosis can be positively cured
by this method, while in the more
advanced stages longer period is
required to make the cure certain,
tho improvement will be manifest
and steady.
The method consists of intra-vein-
Gus injections each day or every
second day, according to the consti-
tuition of the patient; after twenty
injections the treatment is suspended
for fifteen or twenty days, where
after a new series of injections is
given, according to the strength Of
the patient and the virulencs of the
disease. AL cases subjected to this
treatment have shown improvement
while many may be classed as defin-
itely cured.
The treatment in each case is in
cidental to the patients working
daily.
The discovery of Doctors Grenet
and Drouin is. exceedingly encourag
ing and deserves special recognition.
BY DIR. H. Grenet, Inventor of Tub
erculosis Cure
While it perhaps is too much to
say that a general cure has been
found for tuberculosis it is legiti-
mate as a result of the experiments
made by DR.. Drouin and myself to
state that a cure of incipient and
even advanced cases is perfectly
possible.
Only in a few cases have there
been injurious effects in the way of
fever. this however, has been les
sened by reducing the doses of the
antitoxin. Most of the patients suf-
fer no i'll effects but rapidly improve
their appetite, they stop perspiring
at night and sleep better and take
on weight.
Some times improvement is regis
tered Immediately, in some other
cases after the second or third series
of injections. Examination by radio
graph shows that the virulence of
the kock bacillus decreases as the
outward symptoms of circulation
disappear.
BY DIR. Emile ROuX, Director of the
PaSteur Institute
1t will be impossible for at least
fifteen years to tell positively
whether the new cure is perfect be-
cause the disease may break out
again within that period.
BY DIR. Charles Richett, Eminent
Psychologist
While all new cures for tuber-
culosis must be watched with the
greater interest, it is yet too soon to
claim that a definite solution has
been found.
