IS YOUR WORK HARD?
Many Payttte Folks Have Found
How to Make Work Easier.

What is so hard as days work
with an aching baek2
Or sharp stabs of pain at every
sudden turn?
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lame
ness and weakness.
Many folks have found relief
through Doan's Pills. They are a
stimu1ant diuretic to the kidneys.
Payette people recommend Deans
Mrs. Robert McGlothlin, 431 10th
St, So. Payette, says: I had a
bearing down pain over my kidneys.
I couldn't work, in fact, 1 could
hardly stand. Severe headaches and
dizzy spells came on frequently and
my sight was blurred by many black
specks which floated before my eyes.
Ny kidneys also acted too freely.
After using Doan's Pills from Thurs
tons Parmacy, 1 was cured and have
had no return of the trouble"

DOMESTIC SUGAR SUPPLY

A s2,50O,OOO beet sugar factory IS
projected for County Cork, ireland,
that demands at least 1000 acres
the first year. Present profit and
future economic independence are
the goal.
The farmers of the Milk River
valley in Montana are guaranteeing
almost 1000 acres for a factory in
1924. The great Billings factory
uses the product from a much -larg-
er acreage, paying the farmers up
to s2,70O,0OO for beets in single
year. Sugar independence and profit
is worth in any country. One of the
most vital factors in Germany's abil-
ity to carry on the war was her 500
sugar factories. Without doubt this
war memory stimulated in Irish
sugar idea.
The United States should continu-
ally encourage domestic sugar pro-
duction in quantities. sugar sup
Ply adequate for either peace or war.
Whatever is now paid as tariff tax
on sugar would otherwise have to be
paid in some other form of tax sup
port for the government. The mil
lions of sugar factory money now
going to the American farmer and
the American laborer would be lost
without reasonable protection of
American sugar producer; and the
nation would be sugarless except at
the caprice of the foreign sugar
manufacturer. The tariff is not
tax upon, but a bonus to labor. as
they proved in Germany and are pre-
pairing to prove in Ireland.

TAXATION \ LIVE ISSUE

1t is time for the American people
in their political activities to deal
with the cost of taxation as live
issue and educate themselves to in
sist upon economy in government
and to make an issue of economy uI-
til that result is achieved and main
tanned. One-seventh of the income
of our people now goes to taxes. We
are paying three times as much per
capita in taxes as We did in 1912.
If, then, we are to preserve the
rights of the individuals to property.
which so far has proved the only
incentive to material progress in the
world and the only safeguard to the
home and the nation, we cannot
ignore the fact that our public ex-
penditures are being recklessly made
and public debts incurred on a vast
scale without due regard for the
effect upon that great body of citi-
gems upon whose successful activities
the nation depends for its life

SAFETY SIGNS

For years there has been much
agitation TO devise some way to pre-
vent accidents at railway crossings.
These accidents have become more
and more frequent with the increase
of motor vehicles. Altho these aeel-
dents do not contribute nearly as
many serious accidents as do some
other things yet the spectacular
nature of such accidents emphasizes
them and they stand out in glaring
headlines in almost every Monday
morning issue of our daily papers
We have suggestion to -1,akc-tf
we believe would go far to eliminate
this particular kind of accident. 1t
is this: Have put up on the right
side Of the roadway, close up to the
driveway, on either side of the rail-
way crossings, one of the glass signs
which show red when the headlight
of an auto hits it. Put these signs up
about 100 feet each side of the rail-
way track. Regardless OF whether 9
train was coming or not, this sign
would give the driver of an auto a
special warning that he was ap-
preaching dangerous place and
would naturally arouse within bis
mind a certain degree of caution.
Out in the country there are many
crossings which are almost hidden
from view. The road and railway
track cross on a level with all the
surrounding country and there is
nothing but an old sign that is
seareels noticeable and often it is
hidden by brush or trees.
Such system OF warnings would
not cost very much and could be
tried on the more important high
ways first and if they prove their
worth. could bs extended to other
less travelled roads.
A sign twelve inches square or
twelve by eighteen inches and set
about four feet treri the ground
would bring to the NEST becioaded
mind some sort of a warning and, We
believe. would save many accidents.

Senate Committee
Employe Is Charged
With Taking Bride

WASHINGTON, Dec. is. The
department of justice has begun an
investigation into charges that an
employee of a senate committee has
accepted money to use his influence
in aiding in the passage of legisla-
ton.
Attorney General Stone announc-
ed today that it had been revealed
that money actually had passed but
he declined to indicate the legisla-
ton concerned or to identify the
employee suspected.
The attorney general also refused
to intimate from what source the
charges had come.
Asked if President Coolidge's at
tention had been called to the re-
ports, Mr.. Stone said he had no
knowledge of that phase of the
question
Some senators were reported at
the capitol as having expressed the
belief that the president should be
advised of the alleged bribery and
the belief prevailed in some quar-
tiers that this had taken place, and
that Mr.. Coolidge had called it to
the attention Of the attorney gen
eral.
Mr.. Stone has had several con
ferences with the president in the
last twenty-four hours and each of
them, he explained, when he left
the department hurriedly, were in

ENTIRELY REMOVED.
WASH||VGTO SAYS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-CBy the
Associated Press 1.-The Washington
government, whose officials have
been puzzled and somewhat disturbed
by agitation over Americana japanese
relations, took occasion today to for
mally bespeak an era of "the most
cordial relations between the two
countries.
Departing from precedent, Score
tary Hughes issued a formal state
ment taking notice of the appoint
ment of Tsuneo Matsudaira as the
new Japanese ambassador here, and
welcoming him to this country as a
step toward a further cementing of
friendship between Toxic and Wash
ington.
Particular color was attached to
the secretary's action in view of the
known conviction of the adminiStra-
ton that agitation of questions in
which the two countries have a COM
mon interest has fostered a popular
feeling that their relations are not
on the best footing. Officials here
take the view that such a fear is
absolutely groundless and that in
fact no troublesome issues now are
pending with the government at
Toxic.
State department attaches were
unable to recall when an announce
ment similar to that of Secretary
Hughes had been issued after notifi-
-tion of the appointment of a new
ambassador to Washington. The
secretary's statement said:
Not only is Mr.. Matsudaira a
diplomat of most distinguished serv-
Ice, but Japan has paid us a signal
honor in selecting as her ambassa-
dor to this post a man who through
himself and his wife represents two
OF the most important and historic
ally famous families of the empire.
Il am convinced that we can look
forward now to the most cordial re-
latlons with Japan and that these
relations will be greatly facilitated
by the mission of Mr.. Matsudaira. !"
Ihls statement was prefaced by
the state department with the fol.
