rHK HOME MERCHANT
PocatsHlo (Idaho) Tribune: Dur
ing the season ahead there should j
tie the greatest co-operaticn in thej
community, and all factors should I
combine for the utmost prosperity
tor the Gate City, as It promises to |
be an exceptional year, and there j
is much in sight that demands the i
best internets and closest friendship |
oi the individual members of the
community. And while dilating alon
the line of co-operation suggested
«e recall a little argument that
was nresented by a prominent lo
cal merchant a few days ago. It
roads thiswise:
The home merchant. Who is he?
Hs is the chap who gives you cred-1
i; when you are financially broke,
.. ud carries your account until you
are abla to pay.
He i* the chap who gives you
back your money or makes ex
. hang? when you are not satisfied
<\ith what you have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind
nis guaranty, and makes restoration
of aU losses that you may sustain
< n the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you at
the door with a handshake, and
lets you out with a message to the
"kids." and a real come-again good
bye.
He is tbo chap who meets and
greets you on the street every day
in the year, and takes a neighborly
•irrairs. ' *—" - *
He is the chap whose clerks and
I'ookkceoers and others live in Poca
tel!c and spend their money with you
and with other Pocatello people.
He is the chap who pays heavy
taxes to help support Pocatello's
.■•chools, ;;i.tl building Pocatello's
streets, ana maintain Pocatello's fire
departments and police departments,
and narks, and lighting and water
service.
Me is the chap who helps sup
port Pocatello's churches and chari
ty organization, and Pocatello's
lodges and commercial clubs, and
•alks for Pocatello and boosts for
"ocatello every day in the year.
He is the chap who visits you
when you are sick, sends flowei-s to
your family when you die. and fol
lows your body ut among the
trees and tca.bs, as far as human
leet may travel with the dead.
He is the home merchant—your
neighbor—your friend-— your helper
in times of need.
Don't you think that you ought to
trade with him. and be his friend and
his helper in the time of his need?
Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of Pocatello for
merchandise is sent to strangers—
to men who never speud a dollar in
Pocatello; to men who would not
trust you for a box of matches; to
men who —ould turn you over to
the police i:" you should enter their
offices?
You don"' save much, frequently
nothing, when you send your mon
ey out of Pocatello, and you take
all the risk yourself of short weight
»r measure and of getting damaged
or inferior soods. Possibly if you
and everybody else in Pocatello
should trade at home, the home
merchant might afford to sell as
cheaply as do the big stores in the
big cities. And don't you know tha
the growth and prosperity of Poca
tello depends very largely upon the
success and Drosperity of the home
merchants? Out of town people
judge our citv by the appearance of
our stores and the degree of enter
prise shown by our merchants. And
our home merchants cannot succeed
unless home folks give them loyal I
support.

[ For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kiduey Pills, and
read about the good work the/
have done. What other remedy ev
er produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthony Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, AVash., says:
"I had lameness across my kidneys
and headaches and dizzy spells. 1
suffered from a constant backache
when on my feet. I tried everything
but got nothing that would remove
tl e trouble, until Doan's Kidney Pill
were recommended to me. They
quickly strengthened my back and
removed the lameness. I was soon
able to sleep well at night and got
up in the mc tning feeling refresh
ed, it-stead of being more tired
when I went to bed."

PURITY OF THE AIR.
An English Scientist Attacks Ouf
Theories of Ventilation,
Crowther, the English scientist, at
tacks one of the most cherished of our
hygienic notions with a logic that com
pels respectful attention. His con tea
ion Is that etllcleut ventilation doefc
not depend upon the chemical purity ■
of the air. The attempt should be to |
secure motion, cooluuss and dryness |
rather than to displace one body of :
air by another.
lie denies that thei"> is a toxic or- I
gaulc substance in the atmcopliere as '
the result of butnnn exhalations and [
challenges those who disagree with j
blni to their proofs, as the existence of ;
such poisons has never been scientif
lea I ly demons t ra ted.
The luugs. according to him, are [
never tilled with air some of which j
has not been exhaled. Inhalation fol- I
lows so closely upon exhalation in |
normal breathing that a portion of the '
air that has just left the lungs is in
variably drawn back into them.
Exhaustive experiments show that I
the amount of air thu9 returned is
from 1 to per cent In persons remain*
lug quietly iadoors. It is from 4 to
10 per cent in those asleep in bed.
There are certaiu sections of the re
spiratory apparatus, moreover, the
nose and the larger bronchi, in which i
exhaled air always lingers. It thus J
appears that the air In the lungs is al
ways heavily contaminated with their
own excreting gases, even in outdoor
life, and the dead spaces make It cer
tain that this contamination will not
decrease.
it is not worth while, so the doctor
argues, to pay much attention to the
small amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere, therefore, and 11' the air Is
kept in motion ;iud not permitted to be
come too in !sr or w:irjn the necessary
ends of ventilation will be subserved.

DISGRACED THE SENTINEL
For Not Killing the Arrr.y Chief Who
Had Struck Him.
In Franco In tbe seventeenth century
the OtBcif of sentinel was a very soletliu

The Kraketoa Eruption.
Perhaps the most remarkable vol
canic eruption known was that which
took place i'i August. 1SS.'?, at the Is
land of Kiakatoa. in the strait of
Sunda. Streams of volcanic dust were
thrown seventeen miles high. The
air waves started by tbe eruption trav
eled around tbe earth seven limes.

miles away: at Itorneo. 1.11(1 miles dis
tant: In Western Australia, miles
away, and even at Itodagues. distant
more than 2.000 miles. The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out of the
crater made the .entire circuit of the
earth before settling down and were
the cause of tin- strarye suns; ts that
