The CHARMING Woman

is not necessarily one of perfect form
and features. Many plain woman who
could never serve as an artists model,
possesses those rare qualities that all the
world admires: neatness, clear eyes,
clean smooth skin and that sprightliness
of step and action that accompany good
health. A physically weak woman is
never attractive, not even to herself.
Electric Bitters restore weak women
give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, beautiful complexion.

Must Enforce Law.

HELENA, April 1.-The new anti
gambling law became effective tod ay
and as a result all games Of chance
are strictly tabooed. 1t is the first
time since the discovery of gold in
1863, that nowhere in the state can a
public game OF faro, roulette, poker,
dice, card games of all kinds, and
even slot machines, be found. All of
the latter were removed from Gig ar
stores and other establishments yester-
day, and hereafter the transfer of
goods and merchandise will be strictly
a commercial proposition. Positive
instructions have been issued by the
attorney generals Office to all
peace officers that the law will be
strictly enforced. and as under lis
provisions such officials will be re-
moved if the prohibited games are per-
mitted to continue, there is no reason
to doubt that the purpose of the law
will be enforced.

 the city, is on his way through the in' .berior on 8 tour of visitation ol the var ious army posts oi the Yukon in the capacity of army secretary of the Y. M. .C. A. From Whitehorse to St. Michael
 the trip is made in the launch Helen Gould.n which was constructed last sea- son and equipped for this special work Mr. Reid is accompanied by his wife, who assists him iu operating the launch
 and aids him in his unique work among the isolated garrisons Of the Yukon.
 Mir, Reid said in part: "The work Is Of such a character as. appeals to all and their visits at the various posts are looked forward to with keen antIcipa- clon. Apart from the evangelisJic f5a- Eure of the trip, literature of a good wholesome character Is distributed along the river at all the isolated points, libraries are installed in the larger posts and the men supplied with games, materials for correspondence and klnd~ red features which help so largely to make life endurable during the long winter months.
 'The launch is named after Miss Hel- en Gould, the great American beiress, who is known the world over as the Soldiers Friend," and is the financial sponsor for this special work as carried on in Alaska, though the launch itself was built by frienGs of the movement who have the interest of the work at heart"
 In the trip made last year by Mir, and Mrs. Reid, which served as their honey moon, over 5000 miles were covered, 6l points visited. including the various posts of the Canadian Mounted Police along the upper Yukon. The entire summer is devoted 10 this work while winter season is spent at FL. Seward, the regImental headquarters.
