Helena Bankers Badly Stunu.

Helena. - Helena bankers, mer-
chants, business men, realty agents
and Others apparently have been bam-
boozled, and by a livery stable hos.
tier, who, with his wife and family,
came here a few months ago and &C.
cepted mental employment.
His windfall became noised about
ostensibly by the man in question, and
he at onc became an object OF atten-
ton. He gave the name of Peter
Bienfelt, and an uncle was said to
have left him a fortune in railroad
bonds.
Bienfelt was dined at the exclusive
clubs by bankers, realty men, mer-
chants and others, who sought to in.
gratiate themselves.
The end came with the arrest of
Bienfelt on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. He is
now in Jail, but his family is still
quartered at the leading hotel of the
city.

Train in the Ditch.

M~issoula.-A tempered switch is
supposed to have derailed passenger
train No. 2 On the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound line at Iris, about As
miles east of here. 1t is believed that
the switch had been sprung sufficient
ly to throw the cars off the track.
The engine, baggage and mail car
and the two coaches left the rails,
but no one vas injured. The track
was torn up for several hundred feet.
The baggage a was overturned and
still stands at the side of the track
where it plunged when the switch was
struck.

Excellent Barley Water,

Wipe very clean. by rolling it in a
soft cloth, two tablespoonfuls of pearl
barley; put it into a quart jug, with
a lump or two of sugar, a grain or two
of salt and a strip of lemon peel, cut
thin; fill up the jug with boiling water
and keep the mixture gently stirred
for some minutes, then cover it and
let it stand until perfectly cold. In II
hours, or less. it will be fit for use, but
it is better when made over night. If
these directions be followed, the bar
ley water will be comparatively clear.
and very soft and pleasant to drink.
After the barley water has been
poured Off once, the jug may be filled
with boiling water a second time, if
desired.

No Hard Rock in Tunnel.

Dillon.-The long tunnel through
the main range of the Rockies on the
Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad, between
Armstead, this county, and Salmon,
Ida, is completed and ready for use.
Probably no such another tunnel

absolutely no hard rock was encoun-
tered. Not a hammer or drill was
used, all holes for blasts being made
by means of hand augers. Aside from
soft rock. at one place a large stratum
of shale, everything a gravel bed like
river wash, was passed through. The

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
had suffered with indigestion for about
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish l never had to
eat anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it l do not have to starve
myself any more, but l can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts

and l am o strong and we'll.
my husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. It was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
lone but words of praise for Grape.
Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat q
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns SO fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it.
I am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."

1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and

PROFITABLE RETURNS
FROM ANGORA GOATS
the Most Pronounced and Useful Trait of the
Animal Is Its Ability to Clear Pasture
of Weeds and Brush.

Probably the most pronounced and
useful trait of the Angora goat is it's
ability to free pastures of weeds and
brush. A bulletin of the department
of agriculture claims that 40 goats will
clean as much land as a man with a
mattock, and do it much better, writes
J. H. Harpster in American Agri-
culturist. A member of the Iowa
state board of agriculture is author
ity for the statement that the Angora
goat has added 100000 to the value
of Iowa land in the last ten years, by
freeing it of brush and weeds. There
are millions of acres of land in the
United States, the value of which
could be more than doubled by the

mended that the poisons be put on
in a liquid solution with a spray pump
rather thar in a dry form, as the
results will be as good or better and
the cost much less. One difficulty with
the use of the land plaster mixture
is that it causes an acid condition of
the soil. which is injurious. 1t is also
recommended that the poison (either
Paris green or %arsenate of lead) be
dissolved in Bordeaux mixture, as the
lime prevents the arsenic from
burning the foliage and the Bordeaux

growers are advised to purchase pow.
or spraying outfits which will enable
them to apply the poison promptly and
to go over their fields at least three
times during the season.

Flemish Onions.

Slice full grown e onions and
throw into cold water to soak for an
hour. Slice an equal number of sour
green apples. Drain the onions, dry
them in a cloth, and dredge them and
also the apples with -four, and lightly
brown in hot butter. Then lay them
in alternate layers in a buttered pud-
ding dish. with a light dredging of
crumbs between the layers, sprinkling
each layer with a tablespoonful of
sugar. a teaspoonful of lemon Juice,
and dotting with bits of butter. Bake
for ten minutes.

do not know how to jump. Any good
fence will turn them; they are more
apt to crawl under than jump over,
but when they once learn to jump they
are good at the job. A woven wire
fence three feet high is an ideal goat
fence. One with square meshes is
preferable, with stay wires not closer
than ~ inches apart.
AngOra goats breed but once a
year and usually bring forth their
young in late winter or spring, usu.
ally one, but sometimes twins. The
kids are delicate when first born, but
when once filled with mothers milk
will stand lots of exposure. The
fall is the best season to buy goats,

State Given Deed to Land.

Helena.-The state has received a
deed from the Great Northern for a
right-of-way through Cut Bank, which
the state had previously decided to

erected on the ground, and because
of this the Great Northern returned
it to the state, which will sell it to
the people who have buildings on it.

raising OF these animals for a few
years, at practically no cost to the
farmers, as the goat will pay for it's
keep and a handsome profit besides.
The goat is the only animal that
will take the job of clearing our land
and pile a great portion of the brush
and weeds in his shed as manure and
ask nothing for doing it. All he asks
is a dry place to sleep, which he will
go to himself, and some feed when
it is too wet for him to go out. For
this he gives up a fleece of hair, worth
from n dollar up and each year an
other grubber, in the form of a
lusty kid.

The New Poultry Regulation

1t is to be hoped that the new poultry
regulation. which goes into effect today,
will stand the test of the courts, IL the
question Of its validity is carried there.
The regulation which this one has been
framed to replace was declared void on
the ground Of uncertainty OF terms In the
matter of measurements and in the as
certainment OF neighborhood wishes. The
present regulation appears to have been
drawn in terms to avoid the objections
raised by the court to its predecessor,
and unless some latent flaw is discovered
1t will probably be ratified.
In general terms this new law provides
that no fowls or pigeons shall be kept in
any square or block having Is per cent

from the health officer. That official. 1t

In its reply to the porte the Greek
government adopts distinctly concilia-

manifested by Greek subjects in Turkey

element worked for the triumph OF the
constitution. This is a clever stroke OF
diplomacy. not merely fattering to the
new regime in Turkey, but emphasizing
in the most public manner the fact thai
there has been a change In the Turkish
regime. This reference is plainly de-
signed to, suggest that in its dealings
with Crete<Turkey should be governed by
the new spirit of liberalism which is sup

not much more than a sentiment, fact
that is undoubtedly recognized in the

overlooked at the yildiz kiosk.
