Neither men nor companies are fools
enough to engage In expensive litiga-
ton without some hope of success
and without some warrant for insti-
tuting or defending actions in courts.
If the courts are corrupt, no com.
pany, corporation or individual can
feel secure in their rights, and in a
state undergoing such rapid develop
ment as Montana, no one can tell in
what county similar conditions may
arise to those of Silver Bow. II is not
impossible that a fair trial law will
enable many other litigants not en-.
gagged in mining operations TO secure
a fair hearing in the courts. It is not
special legislation In any sense. as il

the state.
There are many laws in our statutes

sary to recall them here. For the in
formation of those who have come in
to the county since the crime was
committed II can be said that the
short sentence which the criminal Is
serving is due entirely to a miscar-
riage of justice. Had he received his
just deserts he would have been ex-
ecuted at the conclusion of his trial
or would now be serving a life sen
tence. or the trio who committed al
cold-blooded, premeditated murder of
two men. one was hanged, and one
sentenced to six years in the peniten-
tiary, while the third got off scott
free. If ii is true that an effort will
be made to secure the freedom of
young Calder it should meet the pro.
test and disapproval of every law
abiding citizen, especially those fam
iliar with the circumstances OF his
crime and subsequent trial.
The county has one or two more
criminals at Deer Lodge, who, we un-
derstand, have friends anxious to in.

tured after a long chase and the ex-
penditure of considerable money for
the aid of a detective. After a fair
trial Howell was convicted of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
be hanged. Through the energetic ef-
forts of his attorneys his sentence
was commuted by Governor Toole to
Imprisonment for life, he now having
served about two years.
To most people it would seem that
Howell was lucky to escape death on
the gallows. Nothing can be said in
e~xtenuation of his crime. He deserv-
ed the extreme penalty.
The other inmate of the state penl-
Tertiary who has friends anxious to
secure his release is John Gowans,
who killed slick Saddle" Brown at
one OF Oscar Stephens ranches some
three years ago, after a quarrel over
a trivial matter. Gowans escaped the
death penalty and was sentenced to
twenty-five years in the penitentiary.
He was fortunate to escape so lightly.
What is the use of maintaining
courts and officers OF the law II all
of their work is to be made abortive
by invoking the pardoning power in
such cases?
IL is true that In a few instances
something develops after a man is
convicted and when serving sentence
TO mitigate his %offense. or there may
have been extenuating circumstances
connected with his act, which left a
doubt as to his deserving the penalty
handed out to him. In such cases the

the cases cited above. though there

IS YOUR KIDNEY
REMEDY CURING YOU =?
Or Are You Thoughtlessly Using
Liquid Medicine?
Not a Drop of Alcohol in
kidney-WOrt Tablets.

The best test of a kidney remedy is
whether it cures permanently.
If your backache, headache, rheuma-
tism, or urinary troubles come back as
soon as you stop taking medicine, the
remedy is worse than useless; it is max
ing your kidney trouble chronic.
No permanent cure can be expected
from any liquid-prepared kidney remedy.
The alcohol used in liquid preparations
makes it absurd to speak of them as
remedies. They are meters of the
worst forms of kidney trouble. There
is not medical man in the world who
does not realize the absurdity of liquid
kidney remedy.
There is no excuse for anyone using
a harmful kidney remedy. DIR. Pettin-
gill's Kidney-Wort Tablets, because they
contain no alcohol and cure permanently
kidney diseases without injuring the
heart or the stomach, have the conf
dence Of physicians who would never
think of ordering a liquid kidney
remedy.
The beginnings of kidney troubles
show themselves in one or several of the
following symptoms;
Backaches, loss of appetite, cloudy or
milky colored, fragrant urine swelling
of hands and feet, bloating of the body,
and unnatural thirst, alternate chills and
tiushes, rheumatism, and quick, I'M
steady heart beats, urine becomes scanty
and often tinged with blood, the bowels
obstinately constipated, the pulse more
frequent and smaller and the sufferer
anxious and restless. Shooting cutting
and tearing pains in the back, headaches,
urine bright red, depositing whitish
sediments, a growing weakness fugitive
and obscure pains in the lumbar region,
drowsiness, emaciation, shortness of
breath, dizzy feeling, disturbed sleep.
If you experience any of the above
symptoms or have any doubt or suspicion
of the health of your kidneys, test your
urine yourself. If your water, when
allowed to remain undisturbed in a glass
or bottle for twenty-four hours, forms a
sediment or settling or has cloudy
appearance, it is evident that your
kidneys and bladder need immediate
attention. Kidney-Wort Tablets has
repeatedly cured desperate cases of

two pounds.
Compare this with the fourteen ounce

Malt Breakfast Food. Then keep in
mind that Malt Breakfast Food is to be
cooked in your own kitchen, and brought
TO the table a steaming-hot dish of de-
licous nutriment, eight times as much
as the ready-to-serve cereals, package
for package. Make this experiment for
yourself, and you will see that when this
standard malt-wheat cereal is cooked
according to directions, a cupful of the
food to three pints of water it makes
not only the most delicious. satisfying
and digestible of all cereals, but by far
the most economical.
Malt Breakfast Food is plain, simple,
honest food, the best of whole wheat,
thoroughly matted and cooked. 1t is
not one of those foods which Mr.. Dooley
poked fun at as "almost food. scientific
preparation of burlaps, Sawd Ust, or
Hungareen, a chemically pure dish,

1t is ready to cook, and should be served
hot, the most appetizing, delicious of

CAUSES OF HAY FEVER.
Hyomei the Only Cure-tiives Change of
Climate in Your Own Home.

Fifty years ago, hay fever had not
been named, but undoubtedly people
suffered then as they do now with storms
of sneezing, profuse watering of the
eyes, excessive running at the nose,
intense smarting and itching and stuffed
up feeling in the head.
The direct causes appear to he heat.
dust and the pollen of flowers. Although
hay fever may occur at any season of the
year, it is most common and severe in
August, and preventive treatment should
be adopted some weeks before the time
the disease is due.
Prior to the discovery of the remark
able effects following the use of Hyomei,
the only treatment that gave relief to
fever sufferers was change of climate.
The use of Hyomei enables any one to
breathe air at home which is like that of
the Adirondacks, the White Mountains
or other health resorts where the healing
balsams fill the air with natures germ
destroyer, ozone.
Those who are subject to hay fever
should begin the use of Hyomei at once
and thus prevent the disease. An ounce
of prevention is worth more than a
pound of cure in the treatment of hay
fever.
w. H. Sheldon has seen the good
effects following the use of Hyomei in
all diseases of the respiratory organs
and is willing to sell Hyomei to any hay
fever sufferer, with the understanding
that if it does not give satisfaction, the
treatment will cost nothing.
