With the Workmen’s Compensation Law in effect since January 1st, all employers of labor, except farm and domestic help, must carry this insurance. There is a penalty of $1 a day per man for which you are liable until you have done so.

NEWS FROM KOOTENAI

As soon as the old weather man found out there was a fuel shortage he decided to make the days so balmy that such an item as coal would not even have to be thought of.

THE HABIT OF TAKING COLD

With many people, taking cold is a habit, but fortunately one easily broken. Take a cold sponge Bath every morning when you first get out of bed — not ice cold, but about 90 degrees F. Also sleep with your window up. Do this and you will seldom take cold. When you do take cold take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and get rid of it as quickly as possible. Obtainable everywhere.
