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.

Astonishing Power of Iron
to Give Strength to Broken
Down Nervous People
Physician Says Ordinary Nuxated Iron
Will Increase Strength of Delicate
Folk 200 Per Cent in Two
Weeks’ Time in Many
Instances.
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.

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.”

“I was in their lines,” he said, "with

pursued me. Well, I could make no

I’d like to be a boy again, a care-free
prince of joy again.
Td like to tread the hills and dales
the way I used to do;
I’d like the tattered shirt again, the
knickers thick with dirt again.
The ugly, dusty feet again that long
ago I knew.
I d like to play first base again, and
Sliver’s curves to face again.
I'd like to climb, the way I did, a
friendly apple tree.
For, knowing what I do today, could
I but wander back and play
I'd get full measure of the joy that
boyhood gave to me.
I’d like to be a lad again, a young
ster, wild and glad again,
I'd like to sleep and eat again the
way I used to do;
I’d like to race and run again and
drain from life its fun again
And start another round of joy the
moment one was through.
But care and strife have come to me,
and often days are glum to me.
And sleep is not the tiling it was
and food is not the same;
And I have sighed and know that I
must journey on again to sigh, 1
And I have stood at envy's point

I’ve learned that joys are fleeting
things; the parting pain*eucb

That gain and loss are partners

That ouly boys from day to day can

That age must mourn for what is

But boys cannot appreciate their price

Characteristics of Any
Nation Are Displayed in
Naming of Its Battleships
One of the ways nationalities have
of displaying their peculiarities is in
the naming of their battleships. The
United States, systematic and busi
nesslike, goes to work and uses up all
the names of its states to paint on the
sides of its greyhoupds of the sea.
Great Britain, self-appointed "mis
tress of the waves, does not propose to
have that majesty challenged. So she
goes ahead and defies the world with
such hair-raising names of Revenge,
Indomitable, Inflexible, Invincible, Im
placable, Indefatigable, Victorious,
Glory, Vengeance, Valiant, Conqueror,
Monarch, Thunderer, Colossus, Her
cules, Jupiter, Mars, Caesar, Hannibal,
Lion, Tiger and so on.
Germans adhere quite decently to
names of places—places in the father
land, of course, thus proclaiming the
characteristic national love of the
home country.
France full of love of freedom and
the things which make for human hap
piness, finds her most characteristic
warship names in words which trans
lated would be Truth, Justice, De
mocracy, Republic.
Italy, ndorer of her great men in
statesmanship, war, science and the
arts, names war boats after Colum
bus, Julius Caesar, Andrea Doria,
Conte di Cavour, Leonardo da Vinci
and Dante Alighieri.
To be convinced that these customs
of christening are peculiarly national
one needs only to shuffle some of these
names. Imagine us in America stand
ing for a battleship named Indefatiga
ble. Or imagine the name of “Sweet
est Shakespeare’’ emblazoned on the
prow of one of England's glowering
fortresses of the sea.—St. Paul Pioneer

Russia Growing Democratic
As Result of War’s Demands
Samuel Harper, professor of Euro
pean history and Russian institutions
at the University of Chicago and who
has just returned to the United States
after a four mon'hs’ visit to Russia,
says that Russian institutions were be
coming more democratic since the war
because the bureaus were unable to
handle the vast supplies of provisions,
clothing and supplies of all kinds for
the armies in the field and had been
obliged to call in the aid of the pro
vincial councils, the zemstzovs, which
are growing in power every day.
“The Russian government.” he said,
“is in favor of American capital being
used to build factories there, but part
of the control must be in Russian
hands. This is to avoid a repetition
of the treatment accorded to the native
working people by the German manu
facturers before the war. The Ger
mans refused to employ anyone,who
did not speak German.
