As health talks to women become more general. both in the newspapers and on the platform, the mass of women cultivated have always known, that good health cannot be found in a powder box. The externals of health may be obtained in that way, but the basis of health lies deeper, and yet Is just as easily obtained.
 The most important thing that a woman can do for herself, and about which she Is often most neglectful, is 10 watch the condition of her stomach and bowels. The weary eyes, the bad breath. the frequent headaches, the pimples, the general air of lassitude Is nine times out of ten the result of con- simple remedies can be obtained, but the best in the estimation of most women is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

The porter banished the hope as a vanity Little he knew how eagerly the young castaways from that wrecked taxicab desired to be brio al couple, and to catch this train.
 But the Englishman was restive again:
 "Pawtah! I say, pawtahl"
 "Yassah!"
 What time are we due in San Fran cisco?"
 San Francisco? San Francisco? We are doc thah the evenin' of the fo'th day. This bein' Monday, that ought to bring us in abote Thuzzday evenin'."
 The Yankee felt called upon to check the foreign usurper.
 "Porrterr!"
 "Yassah!"
 Don't let that fellow monopolize you. He probably won't tip you at all."
 The porter grew confidential:
 "Oh, 1 know his kind, sah They don't tip you for what you do do, but they're ready letter writers to the Superintendent for what you dor t do."
 "Pawtah! I say, pawtah!"
 Here, porter"
 The porter tried to initiate the Irish bird, and be in two places at once. The American had a coin in his hand. The porter caught the gleam of it, and fitted thither. The Yankee growled:
 Don't forget that I'm on the train, and when we get to Frisco there may be something more"
 The porter had the coin in his hand.

GALEN DEFINES REGIS.
TRATiON LAW
Attorney General Makes Public
Lengthy Opinion on Various
Sections Of the New Reg
uIations.

Helena-Following request made
the Montana Association of County
Clerks, Attorney General A. J. Galen
has made public lengthy opinion
in which various sections Of the new
registration laws are defined. 1t is
held that tho registration under the
law applies only to general elections,
eral elections, primary nominating
elections, general municipal elections,
general school elections and special
county elections. The attorney gener-
al holds that the county clerks may
correct any clerical errors commit
ted by them: that county clerks may
register electors at other hours than
between a. m. and p m. on legal
holidays fthey odesire or the de-
mands of registration justify such a
course; that electors of the state who
are employed at Washington or at 9th
register in person and not by affi-
davit.
The most important ruling is that
homesteader who has done every.
thing that is necessary and by law re-
quired of him to be done prior to the
issuance of patent is a freeholder
within the meaning Of the registra-
ton law, even though the patent has
not been formally issued by the gov.
ernment.
