The White Plague

Everyone has normal wall of resistance
against disease and especially against tubercuo
sis. The strength of the wall varies III different
individuals.
usually in early childhood. The tissues of the
body build wall around the invading germs. So
long as the wall holds the germs areacomparatiye
ly harmless.
When that peculiar individual thing called re
sstance is lowered, the wall surrounding the
germs may break and the imprisoned germs are
released and usually set up tuberculosis. So long
as the germs are imprisoned behind the WALL the
process is known as infection and is usually
harmless AS soon as the wall is broken, the pro-
cess becomes tuberculosis that is, disease.
The wall of resistance is broken by two sets
OF environment and personal.
Among the envlronmental causes, over which
the individual may not often have immediate con
troll are included Bad housing and living con
ditions; bad working conditions, including long
hours and low wages; unsanitary surroundings;
lack OF recreational facilities in the community;
lack of medical and hospital facilities.
Among the personal causes which break down
resistance may be mentioned contributing dis
eases, such as influenza, measles, or scarlet
fever; .self-indulgence of any kind; lack of
enough or proper food; overwork or the effort
to burn the candle of life at both ends; faulty
habits of cleanliness, diet exercise; in general,
stress and strain of any kind.
Some people inherit weakened constitution
which OftentimeS may make it difficult to resist
tuberculosis
1t costs comparative little to keep the wall of
resistance strong. Good health means proper
living and ordinary, common nsense prevention.
Anyone may keep his wall Of resistance
strong enough to prevent the infectious germ
from developing into disease by care in eating
sleeping, resting, exercising and work 1t is not
always the people who have the most who are the
healhest. 1t is usually the people who use the
most cOmmon-sense.
The National tuberculosis Association and its
1900 affiliated local and state associations are
carrying on a campaign to keep people healthy
this campaign. Help build strong walls of re-
sstance. Buy seals

TWO CHILDREN
Are BURNED
DOROTHY AND ESTHER WOODEN
MEET DEATH WHEN HOME
BURNED YESTERDAY
TO BE BURIED AT EUPHRATA, WIN.
Origin of Fire at the Mining Camp
Is Unknown.

Dorothy Evelyn, three years old, and
Esther June, one and half years old
the daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. K.
Darrell Wooden, were burned to
death yesterday afternoon at the
camp of the Idaho Gold & Ruby Min
ing Co, at Leonia, the Wooden home
was at a neighbors house on an err
rand The remains, which were
burned beyond recognition, will be
shipped to Euphrata, Wash, for bur-
ial today.
The report of the tragedy was given
TO the Herald at noon today by G. A
Ralston, superintendent of the Ida
no Gold e Ruby Mining Co. He
said that no one knew just how the
fire started but that it is presumed
it started from the kitchen stove, pos
sibly from some article of clothing
hanging too close to the fire.
Mrs. Wooden told that the two lit
tie girls had gone to sleep and that
she left them lying on bed in the
living room. She had just started a
fire in the kitchen stove preparatory
to getting supper for her husband,
who is employed at the mining camp
as laborer. She had gone to the
house of neghbor, not over so feet
distant from her own home, on an err
rand and remained away not more
than five minutes. When she turned
to go home she cav the smoke and
flames coming from her house and
she rushed to it, thinking to rescue
her children But the flames and the
smoke prevented her entering.
The entire camp was aroused in a
few minutes and neighbors made a
number of unsuccessful attempts to
rescue the children who had no doubt
been overcome by the smoke and the
gases before the flames reached them
The mother is prostrated with grief
and last night it was feared that the
nervous strain would be too much
for her to bear. Her condition this
morning was considerably improved
The Wooden family have been at
the Idaho Gold & Ruby Mining camp
for about four months. Prior to go
ing to Leonia they operated a ranch
in the Big Bend country An aunt OF
Mrs Wooden, Mrs. Oscar Finney, re-
sides at Monse, Wash, and a sister
Mrs. John Roeh, lives in Spokane.

DELAY PICRIC
ACID SHIPMENT
POWDER FOR BOUNDARY COUNTY
FARMERS HELD UP BECAUSE
OF WEATHER CONDITIONS
RATE TOO HIGH FROM MEXICO
Delay VIII Not Cause Inconvenience
At This Time.

Owing to adverse weather conditions
at Sparta, Wisconsin, shipments of
picric acid are being held up accord
ing to information received this week
by County Agent Alexander.
The gross weight of picric acid
packed for shipment is 125 pounds for
one hundred pounds of the explosive
The freight rate from Wingate, New
Mexico, the other point from which the
picric acid is loaded out is $685. or
$7.42 for one hundred pounds picric
acid used, plus war tax So long as
but little or none of the shipment of
this explosive that has been ordered
for Boundary county can be used this
winter, rather than to pay the in
creased freight rate, it has been
deemed advisable to wait at least a
reasonable time for the Sparta plant
to resume filling orders. Following
is correspondence regarding the mat
ter:
'Mr. r. E. Alexander, County Agent,
Bonners Ferry. Idaho.
My dear Mr.. Alexander: l took up
your matter with the chief of public

orders ahead of yours, and that, fur
thermore, picric acid, owing to the
weather is not yet in condition to be
shipped The shipment will be made
from Sparta, Wis, so he informs me,
as soon as they can fill the order after
filling those orders ahead of yours and
as soon as the explosive is in the prop
er condition to be shipped.
I will keep in touch with the mat
ter and urge it as rapidly as possible.

WIN FRIDAYS GAME
The Score Was 81 To "a In Annual
Championship Basket Ball Game.

The Athenian basketball team de-
feated the Olympian team of the Bon
ners Ferry high school last Friday
night in the annual championship
game, played at the high school gym
nasium, by score of 81 to "a.
The game was hard-fought from
start to finish. The rivalry and inter
est stirred up between the two So
cieties was very keen and the result
was rough game. Before the end
of the game Referee Campbell had dis
qualified three Athenian players and
one Olympian player for having made
four personal fouls each.
The game of Friday showed there
is d wealth of material for the high
school first team this season and the
boys on the first team will always be
in danger of losing their places to
some close rival.
The high school basketball team will
play the Post Falls basketball team at
the high school gymnasium on Satur-
day night, December 10. This game
will be called at 7:45 p. m. The fans
are looking forward to an interesting
contest and confidently expect the
home team to win.
The Standpoint high school team will
play game here on December IS.
Standpoint claims to have a cracking
good team this year and this is sure
Ito be a hard-fought game.

rehearsals will begin this week. The
names of those who will take part in
the performance will be published
next week.
"The King of Timbuctoo' is the
name of the play. The action takes
place in the kingdom of Timbuctoo, in
darkest Africa, and the time is about
the month of July, next summer. The
author freely admits that the play is
not geographically or politically cor
rect. The plot, which can be found
with a powerful microscope, is simply
the hunt for a happy woman. The
constitution of the kingdom demands
that the ruler find such a person in a
certain given time, or be beheaded.
At the time there are a number of
Americans visiting Timbuctoo, who
join the natives in their search in or
der to save their popular ruler. Near
ly everybody has his own method OF
solving the problem, and all are funny.

Federal Veterinarian Gives Interesting
Facts About Eradication Work.

Reporting the work accomplished in
this county to date, DR.. Mahan, federal
veterinary inspector, states that 26 re-
actors have been found in seven herds;
that the work is progressing nicely
in Boundary county and that only one
small district has been found to be
badly infected with cattle tuberculosis
Snow and cold weather will aid the
work, said DIR. Mahan, "by bringing
the cattle up to the feed stacks and
enabling better travelling Continu-
ing he said
For the IL months period ending
October 81, 1921, five veterinary in
spectors working full time for the
state and government, tested 1,067
cattle, finding BOG reactors in Idaho,
or IA per cent. During October 1886
cattle We're tested in Idaho with only
is reactors or less than / per cent.
November will show more reactors in
proportion. There are now SO ac-
credited herds in Idaho and there are
3,2O4 herds under supervision with a
total of 28,53S cattle in them.
During the month of October, 1884,
