'jfi m AND PREPARED The Republicans of Idaho are or ganized and prepared for the coming campaign. They are in better spirits, more united and more confident than they have been in recent years. They are going before the people with a ticket that they are sure will appeal to the voters of the state. There is not a cloud in the sky so far as Idaho Re publicanism is concerned. The Democrats of Idaho are dis cordant, hopeless and dispirited. The faction that has been dominant in party affairs for the past fifteen years has been overthrown. There is no enthusiasm over the nominee for gov ernor and very little over the other nominees on the state ticket., The record of Governor Alexander does not produce confidence nor enthusiasm. In fact the Democrats seem to realize that they are in a losing fight and are acting accordingly. Even their nomi nee for the presidency fails to arouse them. The battle cries of "too proud to fight," "I kept out of the fight by running away," and '"watchful wait ing" with its attendant evils are not the battle cries of a dominant, triumph ant, forward-looking Democracy. So far as Idaho is concerned the fight has been won. The Republican party has occupied the advantageous positions. The leaders are all at the front in this campaign. The fight from now on is to convert defeat into a rout. There is no doubt but that that will be done. The campaign was started auspic iously at Boise Tuesday. The re-elec tion of Mr. Evans as state chairman was a very good beginning. The work Mr. Evans has started will be carried on to a successful conclusion. The fight for a great victory in November will be kept up to the last minute. Mr. Gregory, the newly elected secretary, lias already shown that ho knows how a campaign should be handled. His part of the work will be taken care of properly. The retention of Mr. Elmer as publicity manager was also a very sensible thing to do. The members of the state committee are all experiened in the conduct of political They have pledged themselves to work' DEXMA NewHerbalSkinBalm ^ Skin sufferers—when we advise you to use D'EXMA, the new herbal skin balm, we are advising you right.

A numbr of Republican leaders who have not been very active during the past few r years are now at work energetically and enthusiastically. If every state is in the condition that Ida ho is in now, the election of Hughes and Fairbanks is a foregone conclusion. Nothing on earth can stop them, and Idaho is placed in the doubtful column by the Democratic forecasters. We trust that other ' ' doubtful ' ' states are just as doubtful as this state.—Cald well Tribune. "BOOZE MAKES LAST STAND John Barleycorn is to make his final appearance in Idaho on Tuesday, No vember 7, 1916. If he is the victor, the old question of wet and dry will be up again as an issue, political and otherwise, in Idaho, and if he is knocked out, and he may be, the issue will be dead in Idaho for all time to come, for who under the conditions and the public sentiment will ever dare or be willing to champion the cause of intoxicating liquor in Idaho. Tliô matter of the constitutional amendment forever barring liquor of the intoxicating variety in Idaho will be voted on by the people of Idaho on the date mentioned. Other constitutional amendments will be voted on and may not attract a great deal of attention, but the vot ers of the state, who have the best in terests of the state and all that it mcanr at heart, will be ready with the pencil '.o make a black mark against the name cf John Barleycorn, a nm'k so black that he will oe forever black listed in the good state of Idaho.

The Silhouette of the Hour Straight Lines Predominate Softly and Skirts Fall COLORS FOR AUTUMN ARE RICH AND WARM From the earlier Taris openings.' many shipments of suits and gowns have already come to New York, mak ing it quite clear to see what the gen eral trend of fashions is to be. The silhouette has not undergone any revolutionary change. There is a quiet dignity and simplicity about the styles, in which we notice that Fashion has taken Moderation to be her watchword. At least for a while—who can say for how long f—she seems to have given up everything that savors of exaggeration. Having realized that the extreme short ness of the skirts was too exaggerated, she has ordained that skirts shall be longer. The average length of the skirt today is about six inches from the floor. © MCCALb The Straight Lines of the New Silhou ette. There are some Paris houses which have gone to the other extreme, however, and have made dresses with skirts that reach the floor, but the majority of them have struck a happy medium, and it is not at all likely that the days of training skirts will come back again. Dresses, too, are free from that extravagant flare which characterized them before, and for the attainment of which we of ten had to resort to artificial means. This season the flare is conspicuous for its absence, one might say, for most of the dresses hang in straight, soft folds. Nothing has been taken from the width of the skirts. They are just as ample, and the skirt that measures from three to three and a half y^rds around the hem is still considered a conservative width. Straight Lines Favored. Although the straight effects pre dominate in the more practical styles, in afternoon and evening dresses there are sofe soft draperies to be seen. Ap ron effects, too, in the form of soft pleated or gathered bits of the mate rial, hang loosely in front of some of > the dresses. The waistline in the new fashions is generally in the normal position where nature meant them to be, but it will probably not be stationed there for any length of time. There have been not a few examples of the low waist of the Moyen Age and this seems to be gain ing popular favor at a great rate. A good many one-piece dresses are made with the skirt attached at a low waist line, and a girdle is either tied loosely at that point or arranged at the normal line. I ! j I Navy Blue Serge for Autumn. The dark blue serge dress for au tumn is ubiquitous, and when it is not trimmed with colored beads or em broidery it is the exception. Some of the beaded and embroidered designs are quite elaborate, but in others it is just a simple touch here and there that gives character to a dress and furnishes the correct spot of color. Although it is evident that navy How Appendicitis Gan Be Prevented Blackfoot people should know that a few doses of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka often relieve or prevent appendicitis. This simple mixture removes such sur prising foul matter that ONE SPOON FUL relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour stomach or gas. A short treatment helps chronic stomach trouble. Adler-i-ka has easiest and most thorough action of anything we ever sold. Edw. Thoreson, druggist.—Adv blue and black are the favorite au tumn colors, still there is quite a large range of other colors to choose from, and they have the advantage over the two former in that they are newer. One gets tired of dark blue and black, so the new colors arc welcome not only for the sake of the variety, but be cause they are in themselves very beau tiful. Blum and purple have been adopt ed by Paris, probably on account of their being the colors that are used for second mourning, and the same is true of gray also. Among the other fashionable colors are the rich, warm burgundy, dark green and mustard yel low. In addition to these, brown in several lovely shades is favored. I I I The silhouette of the hour is well de picted in the illustration of the one piece frock shown here. The design is such that it may be developed in two materials if desired. The gathered side sections of the skirt, as well as the sleeves and side body, might be of satin and the remainder of the dress of serge. Bone buttons form a straight unbroken line down the front from collar to hem. The collar is open at the throat, for women seem to prefer the open neck to the high, even for autumn wear. Another frock typical of the style of the season is seen in the second illustra tion. It shows the close bodice, which ends in front in a pointed tab falling over the deep crush girdle. A tassel finishes the tab. This lends a fashion able touch often introduced in this [season's frocks. On the skirt the large I pointed pockets are the novelty. The points are embroidered to match the front of the waist. POSITIVE PROOF Should Convince the Greatest Skeptic in Blackfoot. Because it's the evidence of a Black foot citizen.
