Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

Great Falls, Nov. 13.-The sum of
1882, 200 Is a large amount of money,
and yet that vast amount will be paid
out through the banks of this city by
FIVE different business institutions in

will be paid to miners and other en-
ployes of the Cashier Coal & Coke COM
pany at Belt; $3.50 will go to the mi
ners of Sand Coulee; $4,000 will be
paid to the employees of the Boston a.
Montana smelter; $4,000 to workmen
of the Silver smelter, and $4,000 to en-
ployes of the Great Northern railroad.
Comparatively small corporations, such
as the brewery, iron works, the street
car company, the electric light COM
pany and other corporations Of a small
er character will swell this amount to
a grand total of fully s250.000. This
money goes into the various trade
channels of Great Falls, and as a result
business houses are doing well and
times are anything but hard.
In conversation with the president of
a Great Falls bank tonight. that gen.
tleman said to a Standard reporter:
There is more money in the banks of
this city to-day than ever before; with
in the last year our deposits have in
creased at least $500 900; the people are
paying up their debts; mortgages are
being released and the business men of
this city owe less to-day than ever be-
fore, and are consequently in better con-
dition than at any time in the history
of the town. Great Falls is the COM
ing city of the West, and If a financial
crash, similar to that of 1898 was to
sweep over the country, we could stand
1t as well, IL not better. than any city
in the United States. This Is a broad
assertion to make. but 1t is true just
the same and the business men of
Great Falls know 1t, and as a result
they have confidence in the future"
