Corvallis, Mont, Dec. 25.-The Bitter
Root valley comes to the front again
as the source of original forms of re-
creation and striking methods of diver
sion. 1t is a quiet town, where young
people have hard time amusing
themselves and when the boys do get
started they go some. AS the result
of little innocent holiday diversion
last night the whole town of Corvallis
is done up to-day. There are three
churches in town and each one had
Christmas tree last night. When the
festivities were fairly under way some
of the young men organized a Santa
Claus party and mounted the venerable
Christmas hero on an old mule which
he rode into the church. The first visit
was made at the Christian church and
the old mule and his rider proceeded
up the aisle amid cheers. The pastor
and people welcomed him and every
body had jolly time. At the Metho-
dist church a similar reception was ac-
corded Santa Claus and his steed, but
at the Presbyterian church, the last
one visited, the preacher and his flock
wanted no mule in there. and they
drove the visitors from the church. So
angry were they that there has been
some harsh talk to-day, and the par

A good, healthy wholesomeness will
make even homely face attractive.
There are many reasons why women
should take care to be healthy. One
very strong reason is that beauty and
illness are very seldom found together.
Illness-and especially the kind peculiar
to women-fnakes the complexion bad,
the eyes dull and sunken, the manner
listless and the intellect dull.
No woman in this condition can be at
tractive to her friends. Personal APP
pearance counts for much, but comfort
amounts to even more. What's the good
of living if one cannot enjoy anything?
If headaches and backaches and drag
ging WEAKNESS and pain accompany even
slight fatiguel
If the system is constantly subjected
to facilitating drain, where is the
energy to come from to make enjoyment
possible?
Personal comfort and a consideration
for the feelings of others are two of
the incentives to an effort to secure
health.
If the illness is in any way connected
with the purely feminine organism land

Missoula, Dec. 25.-It has been an
ideal Christmas day in Missoula. The

as perhaps was natural on Christmas

business done in bromo-seltzer and
other beverages that have the reputed
effect of cooling the coppers. After
these necessary preliminaries. however.

1t is claimed by DR.. Flowers friends
that he can diagnose any disease of any
person without asking the patient ques-
ton, and that he is the only living ply
stefan who can scientifically do so with
out making mistake.
The Boston Globe says: SIN the treat
ment of cancer, consumption, tumor,
heart and nerve troubles, Or. r. G Flow
er has no equal in the world" The Bos-
ton Traveller says: "There is no expert
ment in DIR. R. G. Flowers practice.
Able as he is to tell any one his disease,
without asking a question, he is not
likely to doctor his patients for the
wrong disease" The New York Tribune
says: CDR. R. c. Flower Of Boston is
the highest authority on chronic disease
and enjoys the largest practice of any
living physician.
Our readers will see that this visit of
DR.. R. G. Flower to Maine will enable
the sick to consult him close to their
