Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, writing
on the subject of Health, All Import
ant to Success in Life" cites instances
of great men who prolonged their lives
by proper regard for exercise, nee
essary amount of sleep and rest and
care as to their food. Gladstone, who
lived to a ripe old age, devoted much
time to physical culture. DR.. Hills
says: Gladstone banked on his body.
He had a man rub that body, pound
it and oil it one or two hours ev-
cry day. No engineer polished his To-
connective, no boy rubbing the coat of
his favorite horse, ever gave either a
thousandth part Of the attention that
Mr.. Gladstone gave his body. He
counted health his greatest asset"
In contrast DR.. His points to Ce-
ell Rhodes as man who died from
overwork long before he had realized
his ambition, and relates the following

ed to build railroad from Good Hope
TO Cairo and build a South African
empire. He had the ground cleared
and the materials ready. But, unfor-
tunately, one little episode interfered.
He died. He had wasted his nervous
capacity between 20 and 80, and when
the great opportunity arrived nature
punished him. Exercise and sleep
would have kept him in perfect health
TO 20. But he worked on four hours
sleep, denied himself all exercise and
lost the great opportunity. Health is
capital for the business man. Good
health is an Understanding invest

has its religious relations. Good health
is prerequisite for marriage for boy
and girl alike. Therefore get wisdom
and get gold; but, above ali, and first

SURVIVING SOLDIERS.

The last survivor of the war of 1912
has just died, having lived 81 years
after his enlistment at the age of IA.
He had outlived all his comrades by
several years, and was rare example
of longevity. BY last years report
1912 were on the pension list, the
number having decreased One-half in
five years. About 200 of those aged
widows die annually, and probably
not more than 700 are now living. 1t
has been estimated that of the 2,12S.-
94S soldiers enlisted in the Union
armies, the number alive in 1920 will
be 251,727. which will decrease to
1903 in 1925, 1898 in 1880, 6,296
in 1885 and $40 in 1910. Ii is probable
that a few centenarians will survive
in 1850. But the roll of pensioned
widows of the civil Wal will be rela-
lively smaller than in other wars, for
the marriages of veterans since June
~, 1890, do not render their widows
! pensionable.
| The number of pensioners on the
roll on July /, 1904. was 99i,I62, OF
whom 1O,S43 antedated the civil war
In the year ending June so last As,
$50 pensioners died, and the death
rate for the present fiscal year is es
timated at $4,000. On July /, 1904
there were 720,315 soldiers on the pen
sion roll, 273,OS1 widows and depend
ents and COG army nurses. The pro
portionate cost of pensioners reached
the maximum in 1898, when it wa:
1924 per $1,000 on the aggregate
wealth of the United States. Las
year it was s1.32 on the $1,000. de
crease in II years of Al per cent. l
will be seen that though the decline
has been small the relative cost ha

Nearly hundred yeals has elapsed
since Lord Nelson, MORALLY wound
ed, uttered those memorable words,
England expects every man to do his
duty" The battle between the Eng
fish and the joined French and Span
ish fleets, took place off Cape Trafal-
gar, Spain, Oct. 81, 1905. Nelson had
twenty-seven ships; Villeneuve, the
French Admiral, eighteen, and
the two Spanish commanders fifteen.
Nineteen ships of the allied fleets were
captured sunk or burned. Great has
been the improvement in fighting ma
chimes during the past century. One
first-class modern wal ship would
prove equal to the combined fleets of

TO KILL OANDEllONS.

"A Colorado paper tells of simple
and inexpensive method of getting rid
Of dandelions, which appear to both.
err the people of that state as much
as they do those of Montana. This
suggested remedy consists of merely
sprinkling a few drops Of gasoline on
the plants. The blossoms, which car
ry the seeds, should be plucked off.
but the plant need not be pulled. The
use of an oil can will prevent the gas
oline from getting on the grass and
destroying it. The dandelions and
the ground should be dry when the
gasoline is applied. Only few drops
are necessary to kill the plant and to
cause the root to rot. 1t is claimed
for the method that the dandelions
do not reappear after gasoline is used.
The method is said to have proved a
success in Colorado, and it should be
given trial in Great Fails, where the
dandelons threaten to become all in
tolerable nuisance. OF course care
would have to be taken so that the
grass would not be destroyed as we'll
as the dandelions.-Great Falls Trib-
une.
OF course, this antidote for the dan
delion is not new. It has been sug-
gested before and we believe has been
tried in Lewistown without success.
However, thorough experimentation
should be conducted before the gaso-
line remedy is passed up as ineffect.
i've. We know of one citizen, at least
who says it is the "sure medicine
for the uandelion. He had a lawn
that was as yellow as the New York
Journal and now he says every dan.
delion is dead or dyins. His method
is to pluck off the yellow blossom and
then with knife split the plant down
the center and insert several drops
of gasoline from a small oil can. 1t
takes almost immediate effect, the
plant whitening at once and finally be-
coming invisible. The gentleman
claims that the gasoline kills the en-
tire root as we'll as the leaves and
is prepared to prove it. That seems
to be the only question. The plant is
certainly destroyed for the time being
but Will revive and spring up again
next year? This is something that
can be easily demonstrated by mark
ing a dozen or more by stakes or 9th
err means. This is proposed remedy
that should be thoroughly tested. as
it will not be difficult to save lawns
if effective.
Down in Custer county dandelions
are said to be driving out alfalfa they
are becoming so numerous in themead
ows. If such is the case the serious
ness of the problem of their eXtermi
nation will soon become apparent
All suggestions for their determination
should be given due consideration ant

Lord Nelson as a sea fighter. After
weeks of waiting off the island OF
Formosa. when some thought he
should be harrassing the enemy farth-
err south, the sly old Jap was reward
ed by getting the Russian fleet just
where he wanted it, He did not make
a false move but worked out his plan
to perfection.
The Russians are no match for the
japanese on the sea, or on the land
either, for that matter. They are not
the trained sailors or gunners and
are lacking in discipline and exper-
fence. Russia has been asleep while
Japan has been awake for a quarter
of century, at least. She has stud
led the arts of war and peace to some
purpose. The Japanese gunners made
their shots count by the accuracy of
their aiming. They used strategy in
saving their ships from damage.
1t will be found that torpedo boats
played conspicuous part in the de-
struction of the Russian fleet, of which
the Japs had many. Being not only
courageous but fatalists those man.
ming these little fighting machines
would go where directed at any cost,
and while some of these boats were
sunk by the Russian fire others got

Charles J. BOnaparte, OF Baltimore,
has been selected by President Roose-
welt to succeed Paul Morton as secre-
tary of the navy. Mr.. Bonaparte is
eminent as a lawyer and publicist
and has taken a conspicuous part in
Maryland politics, standing for the
highest ideals. While he has had no
special training for the naval arm of
the government he is said to be in
accord with the president as to the
needs of this country in that direction
and is doubtless a good man for the
place.

Reports from all over the state show
that the crop prospects are excellent.
The weather was too cold throughout
the month of May for rapid growth

the situation most favorably. With oc

OPENING OF THE FAIR.


The Lewis and Clark exposition in
Portland was opened last Thursday
on schedule time. President Roose-
welt touched the button in Washing
ton and the machinery was set in mo-
ton.
It was the most notable event in
the history Of the Pacific northwest,
many prominent men Of the nation
being present to participate in the
celebration which commentaries the
exploration Of this vast country by
Lewis and Clark one hundred years
ago. Vice President Fairbanks was
there to personally represent the pres
ident as were representatives of both
houses of congress and the army and
navy. June 1 having been declared
holiday in the states of oregon, Ida
no. California and Washington, there
was a large attendance from these
commonwealth.
The great exposition opened most
auspiciously. The weather was fair,
the crowd large and the addresses OF
character to arouse the greatest good
feeling among the westerners. Port
land in particular and the coast states
generally, are entitled to great cred
it for what they have done in pro-
noting this exposition of the progress
that has been made in the last CEN
fury. Considering that great fairs are
losing their popularity among the
people, it required confidence and
pluck to go ahead with the work,
which has been pushed with vigor.
The people of the coast states, togeth'
er with Montana, will do what they
can to make the fair a success, while
there is promise of large attendance
from the midle and eastern states be-
fore the season closes.
One hundred years ago this month
Lewis and Clark were ascending the
Missouri river and about this date
were in what is now Chouteau coun-
| ty, not having as yet discovered the
great falls. While they endured many
hardships their voyage was compare
| lively easy this side of the main
range of the Rockies. The weather
was favorable, game Plentiful and their
larder well supplied 1t was not until
the party were descending the west
ern slope, down the tributaries OF the
Columbia that real suffering began.
For some inexplicable reason game
was not to be found a portion OF the
way and the party was obliged to sub
sist on dog meat for many days, en-
changing trinkets and merchandise for
Indian dogs.
What a change has taken place
since those courageous men explored
this great region, although for half a
century or more afterwards it was
in almost undisputed possession of
hostile tribes of Indians. AS mat
ter of fact, half century has wit
messed the development of the great
northwest into what it is today.
Is it any wonder that the people,
and especially those who have great
ly prospered in the coast states, de-
termined upon an exposition to cele'
brate and commemorate the deeds of
those hardy navigators and trail blaz-
ers of a century ago?
The exposition will doubtless grow
in interest and attendance with the
coming months and prove revela.
