81 look upon the thirtieth year of
the University of Idaho as the great
est in the history Of the institution"
said Mr.. Jones in statement to
Star-Mirror reporter today.
There is more general interest in
the University Of Idaho in southern
Idaho this year than at any other
time. There is going to be a very
substantial increase in enrolment
due to the fine work offered by the
university and the aggressive activ-
ity of the alumni in looking out for
the growth of their alma mater.
Alumni associations have been
particularly energetic, not only in
Moscow and in Boise, but in all parts
and corners of the state. Gap" Hor-
ton, as president of the alumni as
sociation, has given very effective
service. Through Mr. Horton and
other alumni a great deal of interest
was created in the southern Idaho
special which arrived in Moscow
yesterday.
"The Idaho special train is be-
coming more and more a university
feature. In the future it is planned
to have a band on board, to make
stops at all the important cities along
the way, and to generally advertise
the university.
idaho alumni will be pleased with
the enormous amount of freshman
football material. 1t reflects credit
upon the activity of alumni in
swinging idaho students to Idaho
Again Coach Thomas Kelley's fine
showing of last season has been in
to the university. All of
The strongest athletes of Idaho and
any number from other western
states are flocking to Idaho, largely
IN account of the coaching ability of
Coach Kelley. Kelleys varsity will
)e more powerful than last season.
Athletic defeats for Idaho are now
hings of the past. Every succeed
ing year will find Idaho athletics
better and stronger With the ex-
,ellent freshman material headed this
way the university will soon be on
he pinnacle of athletic prominence
II the northwest.
idaho alumni wish the student
)ody success for a great year. Mr..
Horton and I have assured President
2owell of the student body of our
support for the best in
erests of the university. The alum
ii effort of tomorrow will be deer
mined by the student body of today.

MUST GUARD AGAINST
INFANT|LE PARALY LYSIS

Owing to the prevalence of infantile
paralysis in the northwest states, es-
pecially in the state of Washington,
where the disease has been especially
fatal, or has left the patient perma-
nently disabled, the department of
public welfare of the state of Idaho
has issued statement and warning
to the public, calling attention, among
other things, to the fact that large
number of cases have been reported
in this state, principally in the north
ern part. The statement follows:
At present very little is known of
the causative agent, but it is supposed
to be due to some organism,
causing a general infection first, later
on localizing in the spinal cord where
it attacks the nerve roots, causing
paralysis of the muscles supplied by
these nerves 1t is we'll known fact
that it is transmitted from one per-
son to another, but the manner of
is not known
The disease starts in the same man
ner as any fever condition, may stim-
ulate ordinary intestinal infection
which lasts for day or two, or per-
maps only a short very few hours,
by paralysis, or loss of SEN
sation, in some part of the body. This
nay partly clear up and in some in
stances it clears up entirely. Other I
,ases result in paralysis of one or
more groups of muscles for life. If T
here is paralysis of the respiratory T
enter, death results.
The following precaution should be
aiken in all cases of children showing
ymptoms Of fever diseases:
First The sick child should be put
0 bed in quiet darkened room and a
MUSICIAN called to diagnose the case.
n the meantime the bowels should
e cleaned out with mild cathartic,
he throat gargled with warm salt
yater solution of one-half teaspoon
I'll of ordinary tble salt to a glass
f hot water. This should be done
vice day. All excretions from the
ody should be disinfected or burned, '
specially handkerchiefs.
The ptient should be kept as quiet
$ possible in order to protect the
ervous system from becoming a fo- +
is of the infection. If the case is
iagnosed as ''Infantile Paralysis" |
osenows serum, which is obtained r
ON the Mayo Clinic, may be used !
this time. It must be used before 9
lie paralysis has developed and even :
hen thus used, too much must not '

zen definitely determined, as yet. G

of Public Welfare, Boise, n

Until the cold weather definitely S
is in, the well children should be 0
,pt out of doors, but away from pub
gatherings. Special attention Il
ould be paid to their bowels and f
their foods The mouth and throat, k

WHERE TAXES GO FROM
HERE GIVEN ANSWERS
COMMERCIAL ASPECT SHOWS
BUDGETS FOR PURPOSES OF
COUNTY DISTRICTS.

This question is fully explained by
the tax tables worked out by Homer
r. Estes, County Auditor, and dis
pels the idea that the county or
state, is responsible for the high rate
OF tax levies, but shows conclusively
that the great big percent of the
taxes are levied, and spent, by our
own local authorities, and within our
own local taxing districts.
The County of Latah, as shown by
accountants, and experts, is one of
the most economically administered
counties in the State of Idaho, and
the State of Idaho compares very
favorably in this respect when com
pared with our sister state of Wash
ington, and other states.
The following tables are worked
out on the basis of a $1OO valuation,
and shows the tax computed on said
amount by separate items, which
should be self-explanatory, the total
being the tax rate within the muni-
cipality mentioned.
