Advice

Clean and purify out of your body
all the poisons and dangerous ingredi-
ents that have found their way into
your blood.
What are all the great cleansing and
purifying organs of your body for, if
not to keep your whole system clean,
pure, fresh, natural and healthy?
When they are clogged, dirty and
sluggish from poison and impurity,
what can you expect but disease and
ugliness.
Dirt is poison and poison is disease.
Dirt in your blood is the deadliest kind
of poison.

4 BOUNDARY QUESTION.

When the commission, appointed ly the
British and American governments to
adjust the boundary between Alaska and
the Northwest Territory, adjourned sew
eral months ago, there remained an al
most insurmountable obstacle between
the two commissioners as to a settlement.
The Canadian view was that the frontier
should be drawn from headland to head
land, as state by the Inter Mountain at
the time. thus giving Canada access at
certain points to the sea. The American
shut out from the sea everywhere. Upon
hat rock the commission split.
AS indicated by yesterdays press dis
patches Ambassador Choate communi-
Gated to President Mckinley a PROPOSE
ton made to him by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote which looked to a settlement of the
vexed boundary question. The president
looked favorably upon the proposition
and it was about to be accepted when

ada declares she must have Pyramid Har-
Dor and a strip of territory on the Lynn
Canal without reference to the conclu-
sions which MAJ be reached should the
question be submitted to arbitration. This
government percmptorily refused to grant
this condition, and there the question
rests.
The Canadian claim to Pyramid Har-
Dor ard the strip on the Lynn Canal rests

WHEN THE SOLDIER BOYS RETURN.

In the natural course of events the
Montana volunteers will soon return from
the Philippine islands to the land of their
loved ones. and a royal welcome awaits
them. NC doubt the different localities in
this state will vie with each other in their
efforts to accord to the respective COM
panies a reception hat will show the
gratitude and patriotism Of our people.
No state has a light to feel greater pride
in the splendid record of her noble sons.
The Montana volunteers have won endur-
ing fame in the history Of the republic.
AS heroes upon the battlefield and IN the
daily hardships OF. war, under the cruel
rays of a tropical sun, they AVE pur-
chased with blood the everlasting graft
tude OF the people. Every locality in the
Treasure state will contribute to the royal
welcome which Montana will accord to
the boys in blue.
But why should not this empire Of sturdy
mountaineers and brave plainsmen do
more than this to show its appreciation Of
the gaous soldiery that have done
lasting honor to its name? Would it not
be we'll for the citizens of this state to
present to each Of the returning soldiers
a testimonial Of appreciation wrought in
silver ana gold and copper-a medal com
memorative Of the sentiment Of our peo-
plea badge Of honor nobly won?
Let the movement start in Butte, where
nature yields the precious metals in
abundance, and let every locality in the
state share in the preparation Of these
tributes to the loyalty, the patriotism and
the bravery of our courageou defenders
of the flag. Give the boys a token Of Mon
tana's gratitude that will be treasured in
the future when they shall have been call
ed to their fathers, and when the memory
of their devotion to their country is tht
precious heritage Of posterity.
Lit the patriotic people Of Butte NOV
in this matter, and nave suitable medal!
prepared for distribution when the boy,
are welcomed home by the different 10
calities in which they reside. They ar
the children Of the commonwealth an
should wear the badge of a states graft
tude upon their breasts.

The whole question seems to hang upon
the solution of one question. Did or did
not England, in the treaty of 1925 reserve
certain gateways in the "fence"-points
of exit by water from her inland terri
tories? If she did it would seem that Can
ada has rather the best Of the argument.
If she did not Uncle Sam will hold the
whole works no matter what may follow.
