FORTUNATE CITY IS BOISE ' — Natural Supply of Hot Water Used to Furnish Heat for Houses and Public Buildings. Boise, the capital of Idaho, is the only city in the world to use natural hot water to supply heat to houses, public buildings and business blocks, the Youth's Companion observes. Wa ter at a temperature of 171 degrees j Fahrenheit comes from wells in the I low foothills of the Boise mountains | just outside of the city, aud for 25 years it has all been used for heating purposes. There are two wells, each IS inches in diameter and 400 feet deep. The natural flow is 800.000 gallons a day. Centrifugal pumps have increased the supply to 1.250,000 gallons every day. The water is pumped into a tank or reservoir, thence distributed to the users in the city. One hundred and thirty-nine buildings use it for all pur poses, including heat, and 100 other buildings use it for bathing, washing and cooking purposes. Engineers have tried to increase the flow of water, and they think that if they could tap the main subterranean stream they would get enough hot wa ter to supply all the needs of the city. The heat is so intense that men can work only IS feet below the surface, and then only in ten-minute shifts. These hot springs were well known by the Indians aud they made the spot where Boise now stands a sort of win ter resort for the Snake and Bannock tribes.

NEW YORK, N. Y.—In a recent dis course Dr. E. Sauer, Specialist, of this city, said: “If you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly as tonished at the exceedingly large num ber who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms dis appear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into liv ing tissue, and therefore nothing you eat does you any good; you don’t get the strength out of it. Your food mere ly passes through your system like corn through a miil with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can’t grind. As a ~ result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people become gen erally weakened, nervous and all run down, and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin ; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk; some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can’t sleep at night; others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physi cal power and endurance. In such cases it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on. No matter what anyone tells you, if you are not strong and well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of or dinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the time double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and this, after they had in some cases been doctoring ' for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good, sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder in the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron, like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc., often ruined people’s teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated, and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all this has been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant to take, does not Injure the teeth and is almost immediately beneficial. NOTE—The manufacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbounded confidence in Its potency that they authorize the an nouncement that they will forfeit J100.00 to any Charitable Institution if they can not take any man or woman under sixty who lacks Iron and Increase their strength 300 per cent or over In four weeks’ time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. Also they will refund your money in any case in which Nuxated Iron does not at least double your strength in ten days’ time. It Is dispensed by most drug gists. If your druggist or general store is without a supply, ask them to get It for you.—Adv. They Misinform the Measles. In Japan the nursery is still protect ed from the inroads of measles and other infections by means of an in scription over the nursery door saying with exquisite urbanity “this child is not at home.” In the Wellcome His torical Medical museum, says the Lon don Lancet, a most fascinating exhibi tion is on view, illustrative of “Japa nese charms, amulets, votive offerings and objects of medical iuterest,” among which these nursery notices occupy an important place. Akin to these no tices are the charms embodied as toys. A yellow tiger with a wagging head is now said to be a toy, but anciently it was a form of exorcism against palsy and numbness of the limbs.

John Pounds, an English cobbler, was the original potota king. He cob bled shoes for sailors in Portsmouth and was grieved by the sight of the ragged boys who ran wild about the quays. He set himself the task of rescuing them. Finally, he hit upon the right scheme, A hot potato was a wonderful deli cacy for these youngsters. John Pounds set 'nis bait. He offered hot po tatoes to boys who would come to him and be taught to read and write. Often he was seen pursuing a boy along the wharves, holding out a potato like a farmer trying to catch a colt with a feeding of oats. Usually John Pounds and the hot potatoes won. He crowd ed his narrow work room with his charges. When he died it was report ed of him that he saved five hundred children to useful citizenship.—Toledo Blade. Happiness is unrepented pleasure.

Prevalency of Kidney Disease. Most people do not realize the alarm ing increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney dis orders are among the most common dis eases that prevail, they are almost the last recognized by patients, who usually content themselves with doctoring the effects, while the original disease con jk staBtly undermines the system. A Trial Will Convince Anyone.

When writing be sure and ^Hmn Uus ^fST ' r Do you live on your nerves ? Possibly you do and boast of it as if it were something to be proud of. Despite ideas to the contrary, few people ever work themselves to death. It is usually the combination of business and pleasure at a strenu ous pace which does the damage. It is so easy to go a little further on your nerves when you know that physically you need rest and relaxation. There may be times of stress and strain when it is justifiable to exert every atom of endurance, but this is only under special circumstances. To practice it regularly in order to overcrowd one’s days is certain to result disastrously. There is much in our modem life, with its diversity of interests, which tends to excite and irritate the nervous system. We should make an effort to offset this as much as possible. One may find pleasure and diversion without rushing madly about under high pressure. People who live on their nerves until nervousness becomes chronic find that it brings a train of evils, indigestion, worry, excitability, temper r.nd restlessness, all great handicaps to efficient work and rational pleasure. *-»♦»♦** ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Poultry Pointers An old brush is a good thing with which to apply liquid mite killer to roosts and nearby woodwork. Be careful that the growing chicks do not crowd in their coops as they become larger and need more room. It is wise to scald all feed and drink dishes every few days with boiling water to kill the germs that collect there before they (the germs) have a ' •hance to attack the fowls. Don't let the drinking water for the i fowls and chicks stand around and | become hot and filthy, hut give a new supply frequently during the day, cleaning out the water dish each time. Feed three times a day apd no more, but add rolled oats to the chick feed twice a day or stale bread crumbs or eornbread will do if there j are no rolled oats on hand. \ It is not economy to feed young or old stock on one grain, for a variety will produce better results from a smaller amount of feed. Feed sour milk or beef scraps to help build muscle, feathers and bone, one per cent of bonemeal should also be included in the ration. If there is no natural shade for the chicks, block up the coops so that the chicks can get under them, or build shelter tents, or in some way provide artificial shade. Careful breeding, proper feeding, and the right kind of care, will pro duce heavy laying in any breed of fowls. • The first chick feed should be a dry mixture of cracked grains. Cracked corn, wh'eat, kafir, and pin-head oats are all good. The Bunt is the largest of the pigeon family, but they are slow breeders. Safety First. A portly, middle-aged woman was watching some circus artists who were performing daringly upon a rapidly swinging trapeze. A large net de signed to prevent injury if the act should miscarry was suspended over the stage beneath them, and this seemed to share her interest with the acrobats. After they had been at work for several minutes, she called an usher, says the Lustige Blatter, and asked: “Is it true that no harm would be (lone if they should fall from the trapeze?" "Yes, madam; that's why the net is spread under them.” "Where ean I buy such a net?” “Surely, my dear madam, you don't want to perform on a trapeze.” said the usher, astonished at this question. “It isn't for me. I have a nephew in the aviation service and I would like to send him such a net to hang under his machine. It would save him if any accident should happen.” FAVORITE OF FILMD0IV5 Peggy Hyland.
