Good Reason for condemino,

"The Provident Savings Life Assur-
ance Society of New York has this
year issued to its policy holders a
health bulletin for the correction Of
popular fallacies in favor Of drink by
a plain statement of the scientific
facts. The Sunday School Times in
its last temperance number published
an article by the medical director Of
the same company setting forth some
of these scientific facts which he de-
clared show that in addition to such
moral objections as may exist to the
custom Of alcoholic indulgence, we
now have well-grounded scientific and
economic reasons for condemning it"

"A physician who drinks beer reg

drinker, were sent on commission
to examine and report on the water

The moderate drinkers report was
very imperfect and omitted important
facts and failed to put down several
data that were necessary. Both

examination. The difference was the

drinkers more frequently carry note.

information which they fear may es-

BELAsco's CONCERT AT APOLLO

David Belasco's production of 1'The
Concert. comedy adapted by Leo Dit
rchstein from the German, will be pre-
sented at the Apollo Theatre Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week with
SATURDAY matinee. The play has been
highly praised in other cities and is de-
scribed as delightful satire on the ten
dency of women to worship at the shrine
of musical genius.
Gaber Arany, its chief character, is a
great musician. He is Hungarian with
sensible American wife, He lives in
New York and his feminine admirers
flock to his house and willing pay him
$40 lesson. Arany is temperamental
like many of his kind, and he thrives on
female alteration. All the while his
wife remains secure in the belief that
her husband loves only her.
Occasionally Arany disappears from
home, telling his wife and his pupils that
he is going to give a private concert.
One Of these concerts takes him to his
bungalow in the Catskill Mountains. He
is accompanied there by one of his mar
red woman pupils. Another pupil, jeal-
Gus because the musician does not re-
turn her affection, suspects where the
runaways have gone and she informs the
musicians wife and the runaway wo-
mans husband The deserted pair fol
low the runaways and arrive at the bun
galew soon after them.
The runaway pair soon discover that
they do not think very much of each
other The pursuing couple pretend to
be very well satisfied with each other
The runaway couple are soon penitent
and begging to be forgiven. 1t all ends
happily with the foolish wife eloping
with her own husband.

ROAD WORK
$500 SUBSCRIBED BY wHITErIsH
TO PUT FINISHING TOUCHES
ON KALIsPELL ROAD.

The good road bug Is buzzing in
Whitefish bonnets the same as it is
all over the valley, and the White
fish bug is not going to be out-done
by any other community. Last week
$500 was subscribed among the mer.
chants and citizens for putting into
shape the last mile OF the Kalis-
pell road lying just south of the
country bridge. This practically com
pletes the work on this road and it
is now one of the best highways in
the county.
This piece Of road is to be part
OF the Kalispell-Eureka road, and
eventually to form the connecting
link in the building Of the coast to
coast highway which is now under
discussion.
The work was started as soon
as money was in the treasury and
is now just about completed. The
road up-to-date was very narrow
and low for wet weather. It has now
been widened out to the standard
width and has been crowned up sc
that no matter how wet the weather
is It will always drain off rapidly.
