THE BEST OF ITS KIND

Is always advertised, in fact it only pays to advertise good things. When you see after year you can be absolutely certain that there is merit to it because the con tinued sale of any article depends upon merit and to keep on advertising one must keep on selling All good things have imitators but limitations are not ad- vertised. They have no reputation to sus- tain, they never expect to have any per manent sale and your dealer would never sell them if he studied your interests. Sixteen years ago Aliens Foot Ease the antiseptic Powder for the feet was first sold, and through newspaper advertising and through people telling each other what good thing 1t was for tired and aching feet it has now a permanent sale, and nearly 200 so-called foot powders have been put on the market with the hope of profiting by the reputation which has been built up for Aliens Foot Ease. When you ask for an article advertised in these papers see that you get it. Avoid substitutes.

BIOGRAPHIES city is and has for some time past been enjoying a house famine. The city has grown so rap idly that homes cannot be erected fast enough to meet the demand. There is not a desirable house for rent in Helena today. In fact, there are no kind. Five-room houses bring $25 and $30 per month rent, and they cannot be secured at that price. The boarding houses are filled to over flowing, and it is next to impossible to rent furnished rooms here, so great is the demand for accommodations.

that bodily exercise is nothing compared
to goodness The one serves US tor
little time the other for all time.
Christianity is not shortsighted. It gives
promise of good in this present life and
eternal life in the world to come.
Goodness is God likeness. 1t IS beng
like God in disposition and thought, Surely
this is desirable.
1t is profitable for all time.

life. When Israel was at Kadesh Barnea
Moses sent men to spy out the land.

the lock out for chinch bugs, a dangerous
insect to corn and other grain crops Two
counties are now infested with them. The
bug is small black insect about 3-I6th
of an inch long with white or clear
wing covers. 1t is found among the leaves
of corn, especially the lower leaves, and
also around the roots of the plants. When
the chinch bugs are numerous, the corn
plants turn yellow or red and often
dry up and die. 1t is seldom serious
except after long dry seasons. If you
find any insects of this appearance, send

can determine what the insects are, and
he can advise what course to pursue.
