BOARD
ISSUES MANUALS
MANUAL AND COURSE OF
STUDY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
FOR TEACHERS OF IDAHO.

Boise-The State Board of Educa-
ton has just issued a Manual and
Course of Study for the high schools
of Idaho. This is the first time in the
history of the state that such a man
ual has been issued and it has been
looked forward to with very much
interest by all the schools of the
state. The Department secured the
cooperation of about fifty leading
high school men and women of the
state in the preparation of this man
ual
Hitherto the examination on "Man-
ual and Course of Study" has been
upon the manual for the eight grades
of the elementary school. All teach
ers are required by law to pass the
examination on Manual and Course
of Study, and there has been much
complaint in the past because high
school teachers coming with diploma
from our best colleges and univer-
sites were nevertheless required to
pass an examination on a manual and
course of study which they were not
expected to teach. 1t will be a mat
ter of great interet to those who
are to be examined in the November
examinations to learn that high
school teachers will pass the examin--
alton on the High School Manual and
Course of Study while elementary
teachers will pass the examination
on the manual for the elementary
grades, new edition of which is just
now in press.
The High School Manual will cost
forty cents and the elementary manu-
al thirty-five cents, the money under
the law being turned into the State
Treasury by the Department of Edu-
cation.

HARVEST
LASTED TWO MONTHS
GRAIN FINALLY SAVED-FALL
RAINS HELP IN MANY WAYS
BUYS LATAH LAND.
(Palouse Republic)

The harvest just completed has
been the longest in the history of the
Palouse country, many farmers as
sert. Not until the middle of this
week was threshing completed in the
district tributary to Palouse. In fact
there is still some grain to be thresh-
ed in the latter district along the Pa
lose river east of Potlatch, but the
greater part of it has been stacked
and will withstand the weather.
While the ordinary wheat harvest oc-
|cupies from 80 to 40 days, machines
have been out this season almost 60
days The w. F. Smith & Son ma
chine was the first taken out and the
last to come in, lacking just three
days of having been out go days when
it pulled in Wednesday.
The spring was unusually late and
consequently the spring wheat did
not ripen until late, the rains which
fell during the harvest season keep
ing much of the grain green and
growing.
More wheat has been delivered to
Palouse elevators and warehouses
than for number of years past, and
there is still much hauling to be done.
This is especially true in the district
east of Palouse, where threshing has
been later.
While the rains have delayed the
harvesting, they have put the ground
in excellent condition for fall plow-
ing and seeding and there is larger
acreage of fall wheat in the ground
now than is usual at this time of
loo
most favorable. The rains have also
made fall pasture unusually good and
have kept all vegetation green.
Wheat Price Fluctuates
While considerable wheat is being
shipped to coast points for storage,
there is practically no selling. The
price advanced a few cents the first
Of the present week, and on Thursday
dropped back three cents. Thurs
lays local quotations were below
S1.90 per bushel.

23, the Washington Wheat Growers

blue, make up superb wraps in which
the brocade forms deep yoke and the
velvet cape which is gathered to
the yoke. The satin cape which is
shown here is type that portrays the
favored lines Of these wraps.
Any appropriate color may be chosen
for this remarkably well-designed gar
ment. 1t has deep fitted yoke sup.
porting a huge puff Of satin, which is
substituted for the usual fur collar.
The lower part of the wrap is very full
and gathered onto the yoke. The lin.
ing is not so full and allows the bot
tom edge of the cape to be gathered
into little fullness and turned un-
der. Very wide black velvet ribbon
tackled to the base Of the yoke and fin
ished with loop and ends at the
front, makes sparkling contrast with
the light satin and wonderful finish
ing touch. Occasionally one sees a cape
Of black MORE made with a deep yoke
and the yoke ornamented with three
bands of narrow velvet ribbon. Black
satin capes are always dependable and
always worn.

A WELLKNOWN INSTITUTION.

Probably no institution In America
is more widely known than Doctor
pierce's Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo,
N Y. Although established many years
ago it is today modern sanltarium,
having all the latest facilities for the
correct diagnosis Of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine
or surgery.
It was DR.. Pierce, its founder,
who over so years ago gave to the
world that wonderful stomach tonic
and blood purifier, Golden Medical
Discovery" and that famous non.
alcoholic medicine for women, "Fa.
vorite Prescription"
In his early professional career, DR..
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from
a physician, should have at hand an
instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi-
ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec.
ognize different diseases, how TO care
for the sick, what to do in case Of &C.
cident or sudden sickness, etc, so he
published that great book, the Medical
Adviser" an up-to-date edition Of
which can be procured by sending so
cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y.
Later, DR.. Pierce ADDED another link
to his chain of good works by estab-
fishing a bureau of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever,
and if necessary, medicines especially
prepared in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory
will be sent by parcel post or express
for use at home, at reasonable cost.
Thus those who have symptoms Of dis
ease need not suffer mental agony fear.
