TO hire the help he would like his wife to
have But at least the mother should
keep her health. Health lifts half the
burden. The whole family should see to
that: she should see to it herself
A woman who is weighted and dragged
down with unnatural weakness cannot
possibly carry her share OF the household
cares. She cannot be a capable wife and
mother. Women who are broken down in
their nervous systems by the dehilitating
ailments peculiar to their sex should know
whata help there is for them in DR..
Pierce,s Favorite Prescription, and what
wonderful things it has done for weak
and over-burdened women.
1t is the most perfect natural restorative
aud health-builder ever devised for the
special organism Of women 1t purifies
and heals all diseased conditions; stops
nerve-sapping drains; corrects derange-
ment9 by imparting elastic power 10 the
internal lgaments and creates thorough,
wholesome, forceful vitality to the nerve
centars and the entire feminine structure.
1t makes the coming Of baby easy and
almost PAINLESS: gives sustaining and re.
operative energy to the mother, thus
shortening confinement and iLsuring Il
natural vigog and hardihoad to the child.
For nursing mothers it is an uneQualed
surpcrtive tonic, or invgorator, also pro
noting an ample secretion of natural
nourishment for the child.

Among the laws passed by the last Mary
land Legislature, there we're two which
are Of interest 80 sportsmen as well az far
mers and land owners throughout the
State. One of these provides that any per.
son Or persons who shall enter upon or
cross over the land, premises or private
property Of any person or persons in this
State, after having been duly notified by
the owner OF his Il ent not 50 60 do, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction he fined not less than 81 nor
more than 500, and shall stand committed
to the Jail of county or city until such fine
and costs are paid; provided, that the per
son or persons so convicted shall have the
right of appeal to the Circuit Court.
The second of these acts went into effect
upon the date of its passage, but its opera
tlon will not begin to concern anyone until
next fall, when the shooting season begins.
1t provides that every person who shall

Census EnumeratorS Prohibited From
Making their Information Public TO
Anyone.
IN the instructions to enumerators Of
the census who are now at work, the fol-
lowing sentences are found: IF you are
asked what is the population of your dis
trict or Of any portion, reply that you ale
forbidden ny the law to answer. All such
requests whether from newspapers, local
officials or individuals are to be referred
10 the director Of the census Some printed
criticisms upon this instruction indicate
that it's object is misunderstood The
census office has no other desire in the
matter than to secure accuracy and rapidly
in publishing the population returns. But
experience Of past censuscS has shown chat
local officials often make serious errors in
the results reported to the census office at
Washington, and these errors cannot he
detected and corrected until each schedule
is examined and tabulated by the methods

laton at Washington. Hence the census
law declares that an enumcrator who COM
municates to any unauthorized person the
information he gains in the performance of
his duties is guilty of a misdemeanor and
liable to fine OF not more than $500.
To carry out the spirit OF this provision the
instruction quoted has been included in the
pamphlet sent to each enumeTator. Itis
hoped by the Census Bureau that the
newspapers, local officials and individuals,
although naturally eager to get the popu-
lation returns in which they are interested
at the earliest possible moment, will vet
appreciate the expedency and necessity of
this rule and will quietly submit to the
delay it entails before the census returns
can be published. 1t will also be much
easier on the enumerators, as it is. their
position is very trying one and all that
the public does to lessen their burden can
not help bat be appreciated ny the officials
as well as the enumeratois themselves

should he made each year, as it is impos-
sible to tell at what time or whether the
curl will appear or not, and the effects of
the spray are cumulative. In addition to
spraying it is advisable that the affected
trees be thoroughly cultivated and prop
erly fertilized. As food under these cir
cumstances, probably nitrate of soda is
best, since it is easily taken up by the
roots and readily aids the formation Of new
leaves.

That seek her help and know no other.

Think gently on her toilsome way
And, while we can, her burdens tighten:
For some time there may come a day

klLLED BY A RUNAWAY.
John II. Foy's Dead Body Found This
Morning Near the RAILROAD Track.

John H. Foy, one of the Oldest pion-
GERS of Flathead vaney, was killed
last night near the railroad track. He
had stated for his home near Foy's
lake at o'clock Monday night, and
was found near the wagon road.
The buggy in which he had left
town was found demolished near the
point where Mr.. Foy's body was dis
covered at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
How he met his death is matter
of supposition, but from the surround
ings, and the position and condition
Of the body, it is thought that his
horses became frightened at a pass
ing train and dashed him against q
pile of ties.
Mr.. Foy was one of the early set
tiers in Flathead valley, and built
the first saw mill IN this section of the
state. Settling in the valley IL years
ago he died at the age of 65 years.
He leaves family of two sons and
two daughters, Mrs. A. w. Swaney,
Mrs. Low Schaffer, John H. Foy and
lester Foy.

OWN TWO ISLANDS.

Work on the Southern Extension
commenced-New Line to the Lake.
Dirt has been thrown, and the
southern extension of the Great
Northern has been commenced. Mon
day track builders and section men
commenced grading and laying ties
for the construction tracks made nee
essary owing to the cramped con-
dition of the local yards of the Great
Northern in this city, and is, as a
consequence, before dark last night
many hundred feet had been covered
with ties and grading near the point
where the branch leaves the main
line
Starting near the coal chute of the
Great Northern the new track extends
east, about three hundred feet north
of the present railroad sidings, to 4
point near the ice house. In all,
the construction tracks Will be about
1900 feet long and will give ample
room for the storage of cars and I'M
loading of ties which are being load
ed at Newport for transportation to
this city.
Monday the surveyors commenced
another survey to the site of the saw
mills, on the lake, and it is said that
there will be but few changes made
in the first lines established.
During the day the Great Northern
took up two islands on the lake near
the point where the John O'Brien
Lumber company have located their
saw mills. The land was covered or
taken up with scrip. The line to
the lake will be constructed at once
and there can be no doubt but that
trains will be transporting the ma
terial for the lumber company's mills
by January 1.
Last night the advance guard Of
the construction gang commenced to
arrive at Kalispell. One hundred
and seventy men with their families
Falls and Havre, and a coach load
of Japs from Spokane.
The cook outfits of Morehouse and
Townsend are on the grounds and
the first consignment of steel arrived
Tuesday morning.
Unfortunately none Of the men or
their families could secure lodging
at any of the hotels or boarding
houses las all were filled with peo-
pie who had come to the city to hear
election returns and as consequence
many were compelled to wander owe
the streets all night. The women
and children were given shelter i'll
the station. Even requests for empty
storerooms or barns for the use ci
the men could not be filled owing to
the fact that there is not an empty
building in the city
