Measure Provides
For Short Daily
School Exercises

Seven bills were introduced in the
house at the Monday session. Bill
No. 1877, last to be introduced, pro-
vided that physical education be in

Guiding the eighth grade. Instruc-
ton shall be for 20 minutes each

TENDER /, 1921, under provision Of
the proposed act.
Sixteen thousand one hundred dol
lars would be appropriated by house

State Insurance
Is Unsatisfactory
In Several Places

A good many states in the Uniol
have adopted a state accident insur
ance for employees, the employer be
ing required to carry insurance To-
the benefit of the employees and Their,
is much complaint over the servict
where 1t is administered by the state
or some department of the state gov
eminent.
In Michigan they are complaining
that 1t takes an average of eighty
four days to get service after the &C.
cident or illness comes upon them
The law and the department were
designed to give relief to people who
have not the resources to tide them
over these periods and accident in.
surance of Michigan takes the en-
ployer's money and gives the service
after eighty-four days of investiga-
ton, eighty-four being the average.
This department was recon-
mended as better thing than in
surance administered by private cor
porations and the record in Michi-
gan shows that the average term of
waiting when they carry insurance
with corporations is fifty-two days
so that in presenting a remedy the
state operated something that is
handled by politicians and is thirty
days worse than the system they
thought to remedy.
In Idaho the average period of
waiting, where people carry the state
accident insurance, is eighty days or
four days better than Michigan.
There have been a number of COM
plants from this locality, where peo-
pie could not even get an answer to
letter to the state insurance depart
ment when something went wrong.
State insurance in Idaho is mis-
homer anyhow and when they accept
a mans premium for the policy they
are practically taking money under
false pretenses for most people get
the idea that the state of Idaho
guarantees the payment of the insur-
ance; it does not. The state merely
gave permission to the governor to
appoint an insurance commissioner
and it gave permission to the insur-
ance commissioner to open up some
Offices and 60 into the insurance
business calling themselves the Idaho
State Accident Insurance. The state
is in no way responsible for their
debts or claims against the depart
ment and anyone having claims
against them can no more rely on the
State of Idaho to secure it's payments
than they can rely upon any other
business institution in the state. The
state does not get the premium; it
does not pay the expenses and it does
not pay the insurance.

SYNTHETIC FLAVORS

There is danger that we may soon
forget the taste of fruit and favors
in general. In the last few years
chemistry has made marvellous pro-
gress in manufacturing synthetic
flavors. 1t is much cheaper to manu-
facture the flavor of a peach or an
orange than to grow the real original
fruit. Since we eat preserved fruits
oftener than the real fruit, we are
in danger of acquiring taste of an
artificial flavor. Another generation,
it is prophesied, will object to the
flavor of a peach or a pear as being
unnatural. An interesting test has
recently been made by analyzing
strawberry jam. 1t was found to
contain apples synthetically favored
while the seeds when analysed
turned out to be clover.-Boys' Life.

1.-THE GUY THAT DE-
LINERS THE GOODS

'The Guy That Delivers the
Goods" is a red hot tonic talk by
Lincoln Mcconnell of Thomaston, Ga.
Packed with tonic for the tired;
Clutches for the cripples;
Lashings for the lazy;
Facts for the failures; ..
And fun for all.
Based on exact science;
Sound philosophy;
The discoveries of the present age;
And the new rules for the game
AS played tomorrow;
Sweetened with wholesome humor,
1t offers hope to the discouraged,
Inspiration to the sluggish,
Enthusiasm for the ambitious,
From the boy about to start
To the old man about to quit,
If this lecture does not
Charge your batteries,
Time your spark
Adjust your carburetor,
And start your engine,
Then your tank is empty
And you are readed for the junk pile
Absolutely free to all who need it
SO badly they don't like it. At the
high school Friday evening S,15.

Nurse at Work
in Schools
Continued from Page ~

sons for malnutrition are very
significant, and very parent should
know them.
The causes are these:
1. Physical defects, especially OBJ
structions of the breathing passages,
children must all be free to
breathe" if they are free to gain
Adenoids, enlarged and diseased
tonsils or growths in the nose, eye
strain, defective hearing, hollow
chest, crooked back, fiat feet will all
hold children back from normal gain.
2. Lack of home control. This
means that the parents must assume
the intelligent direction of the fam
lily, and not leave it to the children,
who are usually ready to assume the
responsibility.
8. Over fatigue. Rest is import
ant in the child's development, and
few of them have enough of it. The
school program is often intense for
the growing child; he has too many
outside activities, especially the
pupils of seventh and eighth grades
and high school. Thus he is kept up
too late at night and is too over
fatigued to get proper nourishment
from his food.
4. Faulty food habits. Give the
child good common nourishing food
and at least pint of milk or more
avery day.
The Health Crusade has been con-
Quoted by the teachers for several
weeks past and has ben found to be
the one thing that has promoted bet
ter health habits for the children, not
only of Blackfoot, but is in nearly
every school in the United States.
The schools of Idaho are especially
fortunate in haveing these supplies
furnished them by the Idaho Anti
Tubercusolis association. This as
ISOLATION feels that nothing can be of
greater Importance to the child than
close attention to the ordinary rules
of health. The formation of good
health habits is one of the best ways
of stamping out tuberculosis and
other infectious and contagious dis
eases. Many children fail in their
school work because of poor physi-
cal condition.
Each pupil shall be inspected in
dividually by the nurse for eye, ear,
nose and throat defects and for any
other abnormality that the child may
have. If the case seems at all sus-
picious further examination is sug-
gested and the parent is asked to
consult with their own family
physician.
Blue cards will be sent to the par
ents when the nurse desires con-
sultation about the child. Upon re-
ceipt of same the parents are urged
to try and meet the nurse promptly
as her time in our commounity is
limited. All parents will receive a
notice of the child's weight and also
notation will be made if the dentist
or physician is to be consulted.
The public health association of
Blackfoot is indeed very glad to have
this work in the schools and anyone
wishing to consult the nurse about
her work or hours may call Mrs. G.
F. Hansbrough, president; or Ernest
Bloom, vice president.

FIRTH BANKER TALKS

M. M. Farmer, cashier of the First
National Bank of Firth was in town
Tuesday and said that things are
quiet there, but that they are saving
wood and gradully paying off their
debts. He says the people of that
locality are taking care of their OBJ
legations slowly, but steadily, money
conditions are no tighter than thew
were a month or two ago and they
are farther along on their journey
TO springtime when they feel sure
that conditions will be better. Pre-
parations are going on for financing
a lot of the farmers for their spring
operations; there is plenty of snow
in the mountains assuring abundance
OF water for irrigation and people
believe they are going to have a good
year.

The coooanut reveals wonderful prepared
ness for the business of life. The nut grows
at the top of the slender tree, perhaps 100 feet
from the ground, and when it is ripe it falls
that hundred feet. 1t is wrapped in a thick
casing of stringy bark that protects it from the
bruise. The cOcoanut is the seed of its species
and the bark softens in the weather. In the
''blOssom end" of the nut three dark spots
which people speak of as the eyes and nose of
the monkey They soft spots in the shell,
and as the nut terminates, the sprout starts
from the stem end, crosses the full length of
the nut, pierces one Of the soft Spots goes thru,
turns up, and becomes the cocoanut tree Of
future years. At the same time, two other
sprouts start in the stem end, cross the nut,
pierce the other two dark spots, 60 thru, turn
down, and became the roots Of the future tree.
