hes IN its vaporizIng qualities There
fore, whenever Viclzs IS applied over the
throat and chest, care should be taken
to leave the clothing loose around the
neck and the bed clothes arranged IN the
form Of funnel, 50 that the vaPors aris-
ing may be freely inhaled.

What is Vicks?

Vicks IS the invention Of a North Carolina
druggist, Mr.. L. Richardson. During his years
of experience behind the prescription counter,
Mr.. Richardson came to realize the need for some
effective and convenient method of treating dis
eases Of the respiratory organs such as spasmodic
Group, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. The only way
to get medication directly to these parts IS IN vapor
form, Observation-Disclosures goonly tothestomach.
Mr.. Richardson finally worked out a process
Of combining the standard, time-tested remedies
-Camphor, Menthol, Turpentine, Oil of Eu-
calyptus, etc.-in sa1ve form, so that when
applied to the body, the ingredients would be
vaporized by the body heat. This preparation he
called Vick's VapoRub.

Meeting

A special meeting Of the local post
American Legion is called for Friday

convention to be held at Twin Falls

REMOVE PATIENTS
FROM LOCAL ASYLUM
Forty Are Taken to the
Home for Feeble
Minded at
Nampa

Forty inmates Of. the Blackfoot
asylum have been removed to the
state institution for the feeble-mind-
ed at Nampa. A number of those
moved to the Nampa institution were
"railroaded" to the asylum and were
never insane.
The transfer was made for the pur-
pose of relieving the crowded con-
dition of the state asylum. So crowd
ed had the asylum become that the
violently insane and the mild cases
were housed together under the most
pitiful circumstances. These condi-
tions existed through no fault Of the
asylum and state health authorities
but because of inadequate housing
facilities and because of the increas-
ed burden of caring for the railroad
ed cases, coupled with the fact that
no patients are permitted to be cured
unless by medical practice, the chiro-
pTdCIOIo anu ootCopdIuo pClhS UuAiC
from treating the patients at all.
1t was stated, following an official
Investigation, that the asylum had
been loaded up" with mildly insane
or eccentric persons by relatives who
did not wish to care for them and
passed the burden to the state.
A private car was used for the
transfer of the forty patients from
Blackfoot to Nampa and the trip was
made under the direction Of DR.. D.
Orr Poynter, superintendent of the
Nampa institution.
DR.. Hoover states that he has
250-egg incubator operating at the
asylum under electric heat. He says
the current is absolutely steady and
has not varied more than a tenth of
one degree in the ten days it has been
operating.

CANAL COMPANIES
ARE DEFENDANTS
Fall River Irrigation
Men File Suit to
Protect Priority
Rights

The Fall River Irrigation company
of Fremont county claims that it has
been deprived of about four years
priority in it's right on Snake river.
Or in other words in the decree of
Snake river water the Fall River Ir-
rigation company has a decreed
right which bears date of the year
1889 and the company claims that
the date should read 1885.
The company has caused to be is
sued a complaint out Of the district
court and this complaint makes as
defendants something like fifty diff
ferent canals and as many or more
individuals. The complaint alleges
that during the suit when the de-
crees of Snake river were made in
the year 1901, the Fall River Irriga-
tion company submitted proof and
established 1885 as the date of their
filing, and through an error of the
SISuO6IdpLCl IliC yCol Iooo was oOI
as the date of their priority; and the
company proposes to go into court
to have the date corrected to read
1885" This would affect all the
rights on the river below that of
1889.
The Fall River Irrigation company
in their complaint allege that they
never discovered what they claim
is an error made by the stenographer
until last year when owing to low
water the necessary cutting back Of
rights brought it to their attention.
The decree has been in printed
form for number Of years and near
ly every canal in the country is in
possession of a copy. Some Of the
old timers in this vicinity think this
company is getting rather late ac-
tion on their fling.
