Pure Air In London Tubes.

The objection to underground travel
In London-that the air Is impure and
often stihing-will soon be overcome
II the plans and promises Of the Cen
trail Railway company are carried out
These plans include a system OF ven
tIlation capable of pumping daily S0.'
100000 cubic feet of ozonized air into
the tubes and tunnels Of the company.
One plant is already In operation and
an official OF the company states that
It will pump 100000 cubic feet Of pure
air per hour into the station, or AZ
the rate Of 900 cubic feet per person.
The air Is drawn from outside
through filter screen, which removes
dust and dirt and impure gases. A
part Of the air is then highly ozoniEed
by being passed over highly electri-
fed plates, the proportion Of ozone in
the whole being one part in 10000

lawyer, but like many other
poor young men, realized that
his professional education must
be obtained solely through his
own efforts. He went east on a
cattle train, because he didn' t
have the price of a railroad
ticket, and worked his way
through the law department of
Northern Indiana university,
graduating with high honors.
Billings has been the scene of
his entire professional career
and his life here has been an
open book.
His political enemies in their
extremity, and seeing his trump
hant election is now practically
certain, are apparently trying to
scare the voters of the state by
asserting that he is too young to
be governor. He is almost "a
years old. We consider his age
a valuable asset. He is in the
prime of life, possessed Of a
brilliant intellect, capable and
progressive, and furthermore,
he has sound business judgment.
We know he is incorruptible, and
we know that as governor OF
Montana he will be actuated by
only one motive: To serve the
masses or the people, from which
he springs, without fear and
without favor. The fact that
his youth is being finally resort
ed to as an argument against
him is to US the best evidence
of his ability. Such recognition
as has come to a man of his
years at the hands of a great
party should bring to his sup
port every young man in the
state regardless of party affilia-
ton. And | venture the asser-
ton that the older men of the
state also, laying politics aside,
will be favorably impressed with
his candidacy. A man who has
passed the prime of life is usual
ly glad to see a young man OF
ability thrust to the front and
saddled with the responsibilities
of government.

why HARRY |. WILSON IS
BACKED BY YELLOWSTONE

Helena, president OF the Young
Mems Harry L. Wilson Club Of
Lewis and Clark County,,
Charles A. Taylor, president of
the Wilson for Governor" club
makes plain the reasons why the
voters of Yellowstone county are
disregarding party lines to
intellectually work for the
election of the Republican guber-
Material candidate. MIR. Taylor
writes:
Many members of your club
may not be personly acquainted
with Mr.. Wilson. His candidacy
may appeal to some of you be-
cause in years he is still on the
sunny side of middle life. Our
schools, our colleges and our
universities have all contributed
to awaken in young men keen
interest in public affairs, and
you approve of the young men
inpublic life Some Of you, how
ever, enlisted under his banner
for the additional reason that he
is the candidate of the political
party in whose principles you
believe.
with our membership, how
ever, it is different; we have
known him for years and many
Of us have been intimately asso-
ciated with him. If you will
pardon a personal allusion.
had the pleasure of serving
under him for several years as
deputy while he was county attor-
ney of this county, and succeeded
him in the office. He rendered
distinguished service as a public
officer. He was for three terms
county attorney, each time being
an increased majority over the
last. Had it been within the
power of the citizens of the
county to bestow upon him a
life tenure of the office | venture
to say it would have been gladly
bestowed. He voluntarily re-
tired, feeling that his private
practic required his undivided
attention.
During his six years of faith
full service he prosecuted with
out fear or favor. No law
breaker, whether corporation or
citizen, was too big or inf1uen-
tial for Harry L. Wilson. They
all looked alike to him. No man
or corporation was ever able to
bring sufficient pressure to bear
upon Mr.. Wilson to escape pros
ecution for a violation of the law.
/ recall in particular several in
stances involving violations of
the law forbidding contractors
to work their employees more
than eight hours a day on any
public work. He prosecuted
prominent men for violating that
law, although the pressure
brought to bear upon him to
lay down and quit was tremen-
dous. Members of the Wilson
for Governor club of Yellow
stone county know of these
facts. Is it any wonder then
that we cry shame at his polit-
ical opponents who are reckless
ly, yes, maliciously, going about
the state bowling that if elected
he will be the tool of corpora
tions? We who know Harry L.
Wilson, know that no corpora
ton or interest, or man or group
of men, can control him when he
becomes governor of Montana.
''His career should appeal to
Montana citizens regardless of
their politics. He is Montana
raised. When a mere lad he
was brought by his parents from
Kansas to Miles City, Custer
county, where he attended the
public schools and graduated
from the Miles City high school.

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

Rubbing with cloth saturated with
milk restores the gloss to the leaves of
a rubber plant. Milk poured around
the roots is good for the plant
Crash in na1ural color makes natty
dresses and suits, which are worn
with bright patent leather belts of red,
black or blue, as fancy may dictate.
An old and well tried remedy for
grass stains on linen is to saturate
with kerosene, roll up for short time
and then wash in very hot water with
plenty of SOAP
For washing enamel pans a little
salt or fine ash applied with a soft
cloth will remove all stains. The pan
should be thoroughly rinsed with
warm water.

Indian Fakir Performs Marvellous
Stunts on Bamboo Rod
The Hindu jugglers and acrobats
are the most skillful in the world, and
we are always hearing new stories of
them
One of the latest stories is about a
performer who went through many
wonderful feats perched on top of a
single bamboo stick about fifteen feet
in height The top of the stick was
tied to a girdle around his waist, and
a leg rest was provided by cushion a
few feet down the pole
Perched on this slender stick, he
hoped and danced around in the live
lest way. accompanied by the tapping
of drum
1t would be considered a skillful
feat to walk about with ease on pair
of stills fifteen feet In height, but this
Hindu showed marvellous power OF
equilibrium on q single stick He did
other things even more wonderful
For example, he balanced a light
stick on his nose and a heavy one on
his chin and then threw the heavy one
into the air with his head and caught
it on the end of the light one While
balancing the two sticks thus, end on
end. he made one revolve in one direc-
ton and the other In another direc-
