Guard Against "Flu"
 With Musterole

Influenza. Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with a cold. The mo- ment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole. Musterole is counter-irritant that relieves congestion (which Is what a cold really is) and stimulates circulation.
 It has. all the good qualities of the fashioned mustard plaster without the blister.
 Just rub 1t on with your finger. tips. First you will feel warm jingle as the healing ointment pene- trates the pores. then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief. Have Musterole handy for emer- gency use. It may prevent serious illness.
 To Mothers: MusterOIe Is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's MusterOle.

A Word for French

Idaho should return every one o
its congressional delegation to thei
Washington duties OF course, it i
forcgonc conclusion that Borah will
be reelected And Addison T. Smith
apparently las clear sailing ahead oi
him. Gooding is not a candidate
But French. the representative from
this district. has no easy path ahead OF
him.
Yet not one member OF the Idaho
delegation so richly deserves to be
returned to Washington as does
French. His record is long one OF
hard work and achievement for Idaho
and the west. More than that. Frem,.
has reached place where his voice
is heard in the councils OF the nation.
Ere long, should he be permitted
to serve in the house OF representa-
tives. Mr. French will reach that place
OF power as chairman OF the house
appropriations committee. He is al
ready chairman of the sub committee
on naval appropriations. 1t is inter
esting to note in this connection that
never has a congressman whose
residence is west OF Wyoming ever
occupied the position of appropria-
tons committee chairman to which
Mr. French will certainly ascend
should ne long continue his service
in the house.
This position. incidentally, is one OF
the most coveted in Washington.
Since the house Craftsmanship has been
shorn OF its powers, the Craftsmanship
of the appropriations committee isl
regarded as the highest congressional
station.
Mr. French. our Washington corre-
spondent informs us, occupies sin
gular position in the house. Because
OF his many years of painstaking
service, he is continually sought out
for information on almost every i'm
portant matter coming before the
house. He knows something OF every
thing which comes before that body.
No new man could, in ten years,
reach the place Mr.. French now holds
in the house OF representatives. 1t
would be sheerest nonsense to even
consider the election of anyone else
just now. Canyon county. incidentally
can do much to see that French is
returned. He has been visiting in
this county the past week and has
made staunch friends as he went. He
is entitled to the vote of the county
He should get II.

wise and never justified Law or NJ
law. that levy was , crime against
every harrassed Canyon county tax
payer.
All this talk about reduced taxation
in Canyon county IS bunk when the
final analysis is applied. AT least the
difference is so sr.'ll as to hc much
less than the old board had il been
reelected. had determined upon IS
sensible cut 10 make in the county

The Whole Story

The Maion Star, owned one tins b,
Warren G. Harding. hit La Toilette,
aspirations lusty wallop recently
when it remarked:
Up to a late hour this afternoon.
the Gold Star" mothers had not
~ come out with an endorsement OF
the La Toilette candidacy.
There you are. Loyal American
citizens will not soon forget what La
Toilette did and said during the war
The Wisconsin senator's campaign
managers have tried their utmost to
muddy this campaign factor with a
lot of irrevelent nonsense about La
Follette's war record. But the big
outstanding thing is that La Toilette,
because of his opposition to the war
and American measures Of participa-
ton, left a blot that no amount of
caustics, in the way of explanation,
can efface.
La Toilette earned the undying
gratitude OF the German American
Wisconsin citizenship. Today. The
Literary Digest finds, the German
American vote will go almost solidly
for La Toilette.
But Americans remember just as
well. And those who do will register
emphatically their disapproval OF a
war record that is a disgrace TO the
nation as well as La Toilette at the
polls in November.

Roosevelt
and La Toilette

Not so many years ago. another
Progressive" sought election by
Withdrawing from the Republican
fold. That Progressive was Theodore
Roosevelt. ardent supporter of demo-
cracy. the wielder of the big stick"
for the American people.
But Roosevelt was a different Pro-
gressive than is his present day
successor. La Toilette. Roosevelt
was American through and through.
No one ever questioned his patriotism.
1t is well to remember. too. that
first among those who denounced La
Toilette for his anti-American war
stand was that other-and far greater
Progressive. Theodore Roosevelt.
II didn't take Borah long to d,
eide which ticket he prevers. Fora
may not be regular" Republican
but he is far cry from la iol'eits
destructionist.
The oranges of Ada and Canyon
county has started an investigation
OF ways and means to make posssbl.

Like everything else that the grangs

working on solid ground and is FIRE,
