HOW NOT TO TAKE COLD

Some persons are subject to
frequent colds, while others seldom,
if ever, have a cold. You will find
that the latter takes good care Of
themselves. They take a shower or
cold sponge bath every day in warm
room, avoid over heated rooms, sleep
with a window open or partly open,
avoid excesses, over eating, becoming
over heated and then chilled and get
ting the feet wet. Then, when they
feel the first indication of cold, they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
without delay and it is soon over.

NEW POWER ACT
BRINGS PROBLEM
CHANGE IN REGULATIONS COW
ERING DEPRECIATION, AMOR.
TIZATION AND CLHSSIFICA-
TIoN OF ACcoUNTING-PRo.
VISIONS OF BILL

Washington, Nov. 22.-Practical-
ly the entire electric light and power
industry and its various branches
were represented at a special hear
ing before the general power COM
mittee today, at which change was
sought in the regulations govern
ing depreciation, amortization and
classification Of accounting for pro-
jects under the new water power
plan. It was estimated that about
$4,000, 100000 worth of public utili-
ties and associated concerns repre-
sented.
The commission was told that the
proposed regulations were contrary
to the intent of congress unavoidable
and would forbid the development of
water powers contemplated under
the law. Congress, the commission
was told, plainly intended in the law
that the commission should be a
supervisory rather than a regulatory
body, and spokesmen for the COM
panies pointed out in support of that
contention that congress gave the
commission no responsibility over
rates and therefore did not expect to
take an arbitrary jurisdiction over
depreciation reserves. The proposed
regulation, it was added, contain
requirements of so drastic a nature
that they are bound to defeat rather
than promote development"
To administer the regulations pro-
posed it was said would require a
large and expensive government bu-
reau, which it was argued, congress
never intended as it appropriated
only 100000 for administration of
the law and refused a larger amount.
Among the companies and organ
izations represented were the Ma
tional Electric Light association,
Stone and Webster, General Electric
company, New York Edison COM
pany, Electric Bond and Share COM
pany, Allis Chalmers, Cramp and
Sons, the Washington Irrigation and
Improvement company Alabama
Power company and many others.
Spokesman said the entire indus
try was represented.

HOUSE APPROVES
NEW TAX MEASURE
REVISION BILL
SENT TO SENATE-REPUBLI.
CAN LEADERS EXPECT To:
PASS IN TIME TO ADJOURN
WEDNESDAY

Washington, Nov. 22.-By a vote
of 232 to 200 the house late today
approved the tax revision bill as re-
written in, conference. The measure
Immediately was sent to the senate,
where it will be taken up tomorrow
with Republican leaders determined
upon it's final enactment in time for
the ending of the special session of
congress Wednesday night. Before
adopting the conference report, the
housed efeated, 202 to 141, motion
from the Democratic side to send
the measure back to conference with
instructions to house managers to
accept senate amendment increasing
the inheritance taxes. Forty-two Re-
publicans voted for the motion,
while four Democrats voted against
it. -
Only II Republicans bolted on the
final vote, while six Democrats voted
passage. The Republicans opposing
the bill were Beck, Browne, Lam
pert, ]. NJ. Nelson and Voght all of
Wisconsin; James and Woodruff,
Michigan; Nicholson, Illinois; Ryan,
New York; Sinclair, North Dakota,
and Keller, Minnesota. The six
Democrats were Campbell of Penn
sylvania, Lea of California and Du-
pre-, Favrot, Gazaro and Martin, all
Of Louisiana.
In the four hours debate which
preceded the voting, Chairman Ford
ney of the house managers said the
measure in its present form would
yield total revenue this fiscal year
of s3,216,OOO,Ooo or $46,oOo-
900 less than the amount the trea-
sury department had estimated
would be needed. He thought this
could be wiped out by further eco
nomics by the various federal de-
partments.
Representatives Monden of Wyo-
ming, the Republican leader, told
the house that best estimates were
that the bill would reduce taxes
by s7O,OOO,OO0 this calendar year
and by sss5,ooo,OOo in the next
calendar year. He praised the bill
as "a splendid measure" except that
it did not reduce the maximum sur
tax rate sufficiently. .

ITALY UNAFRA|D
REDUCES ARMIES
ON BEST OF TERMS WITH HER
NEIGHBoRs.-CoUNTRY DID
NOT WAIT FOR CONFERENCE
CALL TO REDUCE GREAT
ARMY.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Italy has
NO fear of any of her European neigh
bors and ser sole desire is to have
5he feelings aroused by the war sub
side and give way to the spirit of
peace, an official spokesman of the
Italian delegation to the arms con-
ference said tonight. Following the
lead given by Senator Schanzer in
his speech today before the confer
ence the spokesman declared that
Italy had not even awaited the call
for this conference to begin reduc-
tion of her great army which now
has been brought down to less than
200, 1000. Moreover the period of mill
tary service which before the war
was two and one-half years already
had been substantially reduced it
was explained, and probably would
be cut to eight months.
There was no disposition on the
part of Italy, it was added, to ques-
tion the right of France to maintain
a large army, inasmuch as she occu-
pied a peculiar position. But this
large army, it was stated, was not
regarded as a menace to Italy,,
The same statement might be ap-
piled to the Jugislav military force,
the spokesman continued. Italy's re-
lations with that country were de-
scribed as the "best" and, ,she did not
regard the little entente as source
of danger to her. Germany, not be-
ing close neighbor, occupies po-
sition, it was explained, different
from France and the natural de-
fenses of Italy afforded by the Alps
enabled her to ignore any threat from
Russia.
AS to Austria the Italians cherish
ed only the kindest feelings. Italy,
having given proof of that, it was
said when she went forward to sue
cor the starving children of Aus
tria.
There was no longer, any reason
for "sad feeling" between Italy and
Austria, the spokesman said, adding
that the only desire was that the
war spirit ought to terminate over
the peace of the world.
The present disposition of the Ital-
ian delegates, it was said, is to ad-
here closely to the agenda Of the
conference and not to broach any
new problems connected with fnan-
cial subjetcs.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC
INDUCES CRIME:
RICE EXCORIATES BOOTLEG
J.. GERS IN YoRK-TRUE BILL
FOUND AGAINST WHITE MAN
AND WOMAN, CHARGED WITH
. MURDER.

York, Nov. pa strong arralgn-
ment of the illegal whiskey traffic,
coupled iwth an excoriation Of those
who engage therein, featured the
charge made by Judge Hayne F. Rice
of Aiken to the York county grand
jury upon the convening OF court
here this morning.
j. II consider the man who sells
liquor the very lowest type OF cltl-
: zen in this country" he declared.
"Whiskey is at the bottom OF two
thirds of the crimes Of violence IN
this state. Whenever the state makes
out a case against man for viola
toin of the prohibition law, it is the
duty of the jury to convict, regard
less of any individual views its MEM
bers may entertain on the whiskey
subject"
3 Judge Rice said he knew Of re-
cent instance where the solicitor had
made out a plain case against vio-
latioii of the prohibition law, the
person being caught almost in the
act of distilling, and yet the jury had
rendered a verdict of acquittal.
"As long as that kind Of senti-
ment prevails" declared Judge Rice
"you can not put down lawbreakers. "
:, In further discussing the whiskey
situation he said some people assert
that prohibition is failure, but that
this is far from the truth. In the
last htree years, though a constant
traveller, he had not seen single
drunk man, which was in striking
and agreeable contrast to conditions
that obtained before prohibition be-
came effective. Judge Rice said a
conductor told him recently that
there is now virtually no drunkenness
among travellers, while a few years
ago intoxicated passengers were nu-
merous and constant source of trou-
bile and danger to those in charge of
the trains.
A true bill was found against Al
bert Zimmerman and Mrs. Efte
Eudgins, charged with the murder
Of the latter's husband, j. Pink Hud-
gins, on the night of November 6.
among those who appeared to give
evidence before the grand jury was
Arthur Hudgins, II year old son of
the dead man.

PROHIBITION
TALK SUNDAY

DR.. Madison Swadener, of Indian
apolis, will give an address Sunday
morning at the Union church in the
interest of the campaign for nation
wide prohibition.
For many years DR.. Swadener was
in the Methodist Episcopal pastorate
and while so engaged 1illed the pulpits
of some of the largest churches in
the middle west. AS an evangelist he
was eminently successful, and he has
been a familiar figure on the chau-
tauqua platform
When he went into the work of
temperance reform he took with him
all the worth of previous experience
in meeting and moving men and
women. He has been quite as sue
cessful as a special pleader for prohi-
bition as he was in the pulpit and on
the lecture platform.
Dr. Swadener is not only man of
striking ability as an orator and pre-
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1921-05-12

has given the Bonner county farmers
the benefit of his experience and has
the confidence and respect of every
farmer of Bonner county. He has
done as much il not more than any
other man in Bonner county towards
advancing the agricultural interests of
the district and he states that IL 1t Is
at all possible he will gladly assist
the farmers of Boundary county also
He is vice president of the Idaho Pure
Seed Association and is one of the exc
cutives of the state Farm Bureau.
Many potato growers of Boundary
county are greatly interested in the
organization that has been perfected
IN Bonner county and it is quite pos
sible that a similar organization will
be effected here Those present at the
meeting Tuesday afternoon were
unanimously in favor of making final
effort to secure a county agent who
could assist in the inspection of DO
tato and other crops and who could
cooperate in securing a market for
Boundary county farm products.
