The Evening Chit-Chat
By Ruth <
m HE other day I chanced to come
Into conversation with a man
who Is nearly 90 years old. And
if it were by the exercise of
some rare virtue or wisdom
that he had attained that age, he could
not be any prouder than he is.
He is not a man who has accom
plished anything in the world; he is
distinctly narrow and unintelligent and
of a very crabbed disposition. The
years have neither mellowed him nor
given him wisdom. He is a stupid pupil
in the school of life, "well birched and
none the wiser." Moreover he is very
sickly and only prolongs his existence
by the exercise of all kinds of precau
tions. And yet he thinks his ninety
years something to bo tremendously
proud of!
What queer folks wo mortals are!
What strange things we select to ho
proud of! Why, I know «a young wom
an of twenty-five who is actually proud
of tlie fact that sho is incapable of
doing the simplest household task. I
know another girl who takes infinite
pride in the fact that she can't hear
to eat ice cream with a spoon but must
have a fork. And then there's a man
who plumes himself on the fact that
he can find evil in anyone and—but
there, if I keep this up I shan't have
any space left for my original subject.
To return to the main road: Length
of life is a blessing, the Bible says so.
But how can anyone in his senses think
it is to be compared with depth of life?
There is a woman between seventy
TO BEHELD HERE
State Chairman Gipson Pre
dicts That There Will Be
One Hundred Visiters
Here for Meeting.
"The conference of Progressives to
bo hold in Boise next Monday,'' stat
ed James H. Gipson, chairman of the
Progressive state central committee, "is
l ot an invitation affair. All men and
women in sympathy with the battle of
the Progressive party for real freedom
and for real government of the people
and for control of all officials of tho
täte by the people who elect them
rather than control of the people by the
■ ■ fleers elected, are invited and urged
'o attend, and participate in the dis
•rksions and to give their counsel and
advice. A special offert has been made
to secure the attendance <*f the ehair
m oi and secretaries of the various
< unity committees and of the county
'•entrai committeemen so that those in
attendance nifty have the advantage of
their views upon the Important mat
ous to be discussed, but this does not
Ultimate that all others are not urged
o attend.
"The conference will be an informal
ffair called solely for the purpose of
discussing the public good, for mapping
■nt a party program, iiuli- a ting the
•rineiples upon which the party will
ta nd, for devising ways and means for
arrying out the objects thus agreed
upon and for extending the influence of
•the party to men and women who have
not yet been made aware of its pur
poses."
A meeting was hold a few nights ago
of a few members of the party for the
purpose of arranging for the meeting,
jit is believed that there will be at
least 100 visitors from counties other
than Ada and that a number of Ada
county members of the party will be in
attendance. It was decided to hold the
sessions in the "Dungeon" room at the
Owyhee unless the attendance should
be too large for that room, in which
event the committee will be prepared to
have ready a larger hall so that no
delay in the work <*f the conference
will be caused. \V. S. Young of Boise
was appointed chairman of that com
mittee with full power to call upon
other members for assistance should
aid be required.
Reports continue to indicate that
great Interest is being taken in the
approaching conference and it Is ex

ELDEULY FOLKS! CALOMEL, SALTS
AND CATHARTICS AREN'T FOR YOU
Harmless, Gentle "Syrup of Figs" Is Best to Cleanse
Your Stomach, Liver and 30 Feet of Bowels of Sour
Bile, Decaying Food, Gases and Clogged-up Waste.
You old people, Syrup of Figs is par
ticularly for you. You who don't ex
ercise as much as you need to; who
like the easy chair. You, whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have
also become less active.
Don't regard Syrup of Figs as
physic. It stimulates the liver ami
bowels just as exercise would do if you
took enough of it. It is not harsh like
salts or cathartics. The help which
Syrup of Figs gives to a torpid liver
and weak, sluggish bowels is harmless,
natural and gentle.
When eyes grow dim, you help them.
Do the same with your liver and
bowels when age makes them less ac
tive. There is nothing more important.
Costive, clogged-up bowels mean that
decaying, fermenting food is clogged
there and the pores or ducts in these
and eighty in our neighborhood who
has prolonged a life of nervous Invalid
ism for the last forty years by concen
trating on the task of keeping alive and
by sapping the very life blood of the
rest of the family. Surely this woman
would have had a better score, to pre
sent to the Almighty Scorekeeper if
she had really lived, even if by so do
ing she has shortened her years by half.
Surely her length of life Is not to bo
compared with tho few packed years of
a young man who recently died at the
age of thirty after having educated his
two sisters, placed his father and
mother in a position of financial com
fort for tho rest of their lives, enjoyed
several deep friendships, seen consid
erable of tho world and influenced
many lives for tho hotter.
If ho had not lived so deeply he
might have lived longer. Yes, and per
haps Beethoven or Shakespeare might
have lived to he old men if they had
husbanded their vitality and not poured
it out into their work.
But surely no one wishes they had
done that.

OBSTRUCTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM
THE SALOONS OF CITY
Every saloon in Boise where the bar
and interior of the saloon is obstructed
so that a clear view of the intehior can
not be seen from the street, must at
once remove tho obstruction or forfeit
its license.
The above order was issued by Coun
cilman T. P. Woodcock to whom com
plaints were made that a number of
saloons her»* were violating the city or
dinance compelling a clear view from
tile street of thy interior of the saloon.
Mr. Woodcock personally made a trip
of inspection over the city yesterday
and found three saloons which were not
fully complying with the ordinance,
The saloons were the Bank, the Idanha
buffet and the Overland. While the*
obstructions were not bad they did not
give a clear view as required and the
proprietors announced that they would
have the partitions and other obstruc
lions removed at once.
Section f> of ordinance No. 871 passed
by the council Nov. 2, 1909, is tho one
under which the order was given. The
section reads as follows:
"Tho interior of the bar room where
tin* liquors and wines are furnished
shall be in plain view from the street,
unobstructed by screens, blinds, cur
tains. partitions; or painted, ground or
stained glass windows, or any other ob
struction or device which may inter
fere with a view from the street. And
the placing and maintaining of any of
said obstructions shall of Itself render
the license void."
thirty feet of bowels suck this decaying
waste and poisons into the blood. You
will never get feeling right until this
is corrected—but do it gently. Don't
have a bowel wash-day; don't use a
bowel irritant. For your sake, please
use only gentle, effective Syrup of
Figs. Then you are not drugging your
self, for Syrup of Figs is composed of
only luscious figs, senna and aromat
ics which can not injure.
A teaspoonful tonight will gently,
but thoroughly, move on and out of
your system by morning all the sour
bile, poisonous fermenting food and
clogged-up waste matter without gripe,
nausea or weakness.
But get the genuine. Ask your drug
gist for the full name, "Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna." Refuse,
with contempt, any other Fig Syrup
unless it bears the name—prepared by
the California Fig Syrup Company.
Read the label. Adv.
ANOTHER PLAN OF
COUNTY DIVISION
IS BEING URGED
Proposed to Carve Out New
County From Northeast
Part of Canyon and Strip
of Boise.
Butte county to be created out. of a
northeast corner of Canyon county and
a small strip off the west side of Boise
county, is the proposal made in writing
to members-elect of the Twelfth Idaho
legislature by what is known as an
"Organization to Create Butte Coun
ty," of which W. T. Crouch is chair
man and It. N. Cummings, secretary.
The proposal brings another possible
county division into the already long
list.
The notice that a fight for Butte
county will be carried before the legis
lature, signed by G. H. Holbrook of
Ola, Charles Ireton of Sweet, D. M.
John, George F. Zimmerman and
George W. Knowles, all of Emmett, is
as follows:
"We want a new county formed
from the northeast corner of Canyon
county and a small strip off the west
side of Boise county. This area con
tains about 800 square miles with ap
proximately $7,000,000 valuation.
"Ninety per cent of the taxpayers of
this district favor the movement as
will appear from a petition which will
he presented to you later, and the con
tour of the boundary of the proposed
new county Is in harmony with con
venience and economy. We leave Can
yon county with its necessary consti
tutional area and more than $22,000,000
valuation, and Boise county with near
ly 10 times its constitutional area and.
over $4,000,000 valuation.
"As it now is, the people of this pro
posed new county residing in Canyon
county must travel from 20 to 40 miles
to their county seat, and the people in
Boise county from 50 to 80 miles to
their county seat. This
makes county government
and unsatisfactory and gives
to the Justice of our cause.
"When the time comes we
you to support a bill in tho house of
representatives for the formation of
tHis new county, and should opposition
arise, we trust you will frankly Inform
us of its nature, for we feel that we
can, in tho light of reason and the
pressing need of our demand, over
come any and all opposition that might
develop.
"Wo realize that you are under no
special obligation to us, but as a part
of tho great state of Idaho, wo feel
that you will favor such legislation as
will relieve the unfavorable conditions
with which we are now burdened and
at tho same time do no injustice to
anyone.
"Very truly yours,
