Rest Awhile.
And now want to tell you what
Vaudeville has done in return for us
and what it has meant to our work.
II you had stood here on q Tues
day afternoon and watched the
guests as they filed in, and old moth
er so tired and feeble from her walk
down the pier that She had to be
supported by a member of the COM
mittee or wheeled in chair, mothers
carrying in their arms or on a pill
low infants with the mark of death
upon their little faces; girls pale and
worn out from overwork, and men
who had been lying in hospitals for
months, wheeled in chairs because
they were too weak to walk. And
then two weeks hence see these same
ones go out again, homeward bound,
full of health and strength, you
would then realize what Vaudeville
means to us; and a silent prayer
goes forth from our hearts, and we
thank God that there is such a place
as Rest Awhile, where the weary
toilers from all over the State can
come to and find health, rest and
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Chairman of Rest
Awhile Committee:
1 There are some among you pres
the work here at Rest Awhile, who
in fact. know as much about it as
l do, but there are others who are
not familiar and 1t Is for them that
have prepared the following re-
port.
Rest Awhile was given to the
Kings Daughters and Sons of Lou
isiana in 1905 by Mrs. Douglas An
derson, in loving memory of her
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
A. Rodd.
For several years previous to this
the Kings Daughters had been pay
ing the expenses every year of two
or three persons who, on account OF
i'll health, had been obliged to lay
aside their work and go elsewhere
in search of health and strength.
Then this gift came, as it were, in
direct answer to prayer.
We have had obstacles to over
come and severe criticisms to face;
there was one who stood at the helm
who did not know what failure
meant, but with a steady hand guild
ed Rest Awhile through the epidemic
in 1905, the fire in 1907 which
threatened to destroy it, and finally
the terrific storm in 1909, which
many of you have cause to remem-
Der, and which practically destroyed
the main building. Then worst of
all. In 1912, our beloved leader was
suddenly called home and the feel
ing of hopelessness which overcame
all OF US cannot be described. Still,
Rest Awhile stands today as II it
had never been touched by the waves
of adversity. and 1t will ever remain
a. monument to her whose wonderful
ability marked this work with such
success.
During the eight years that Rest
Awhile has been in existence 1t has
given two weeks rest to over 5000
persons. and the current expenses for
three months each year amount to

BUTTE CITIZENS ARE SHOT,
Federal Official and a Minira Man
Fatally Wounded by
CesperadoeS

! Butte, Mont.-Harry Drumm, deputy
clerk of the United States court
and prominent citizen, was shot
three times, and Theodore Thomas,
secretary of the Butte Mining ex-
change, one of Butte's best known
men, was shot twice by two masked
desperadoes within the full glare of
a corner light.
The highwaymen began shooting
when Thomas banteringly asked them
"Is this joker" They then fed with
out attempting to rob the men.
Thomas assisted Drumm to hospital
and then walked five blocks to his
room before he realized that he, too,
had been wounded. The police have
arrested two men on suspicion. Both
men will die.
Butte.-Harry Drumm, the federal
court clerk, wounded by highwaymen
Monday night, is dead. Drumm's COM
panion, Theodore Thomas, secretary
of the Mining Stock Exchange, who
was shot twice in the abdomen, is in
a critical condition and the hospital
surgeons hold out no hope for him.

Heipina the Little Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com.
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation Of a shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start In
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number Of shoes he makes-an
average Of lees than 2 % cents pair
and let US keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement. Some Of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
If it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose OF, Retiring
and You Are We'll and
Happy by Morning

It is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and SO we have whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
1t. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have full and free
movement at least once day. If you
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have more serious
ailment. 10 cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any Inconvenience.
Legions Of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Danner, 1926 Riley ST., Har-
risburg, Pa, says: CDR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-

SILVER AND LEAD ARE FOUND
Libby Operators Closed Pending
Deal for the Buzz
Saw Claim.

Libby.-John H. Town, president of
the Hazel T. Mining company, operat-
ing the Shaughnessy Hill claims near
here, says the company has made a
deal whereby the Buzz Saw, one of
the claims in the group, will be pur-
chased by the company, which will
probably take steps soon towards the
erection of a concentrator.
Development work has been in prog
ress most of the time since the COM
pany became interested i'll the group,
over year ago, and the ledge has
been cross-cut by tunnel at depth
of 500 feet, and drifts have been run.
The showing is said to be good The
values are mostly in silver and lead.
The property is eight miles south of
Libby.
The Kalispell-L Lincoln Gold Mining
company is making arrangements to
put in fiye-stamp mill on it's gold
property in the West Fisher district
to replace the three-stamp mill which
was installed last summer. Heavier
stamps are to be put in. Several test
runs were made with the small mill
last year, and the returns in gold were
SO satisfactory that it has been de-
cided to install the heavier and more
expensive equipment.

WILD HORSES IN. FOOTHILLS
Band Has Been Seen by Scores OF
Persons-Leader a Fine
Stallion,

Great Falls.-There may be found
in the foothills of Fergus county, not
far from Stanford, a herd of wild
horses numbering thirty or forty and
headed by a coal black stallion. The
band has been seen by scores OF per-
sons, and it's general haunts are we'll
known, but no member Of it has been
captured and possibly never will be.
Aside from the leader, the members
of the band are not attractive. In
fact, most of them are scrubby in ap.
pearance. But they are all alert,
sure-footed and fleet and when the
main body is feeding in the hills they
keep their sentinels to apprisc them
of danger.
The band has been known to exist
in those hills for many years, and
oldtimers believe that it's origin
hanks back TO the earliest appearance
of white men in this section when
probably some mares in foal escaped
from their owners to the hills and
became the progenitors of the herd
now known as wild horses. This be.
llel 4S given CclCF Ill the TACT tnaI the
actions Of the wild horses hint of
long breeding away from the influence
of domestic surroundings. They are
said to show even greater appreEen-
sion on the approach of human be-
ings than do the ordinary deer Old
settlers say, too, that few ye.rs ago
there were nearly twice as many as
are now in the band and some believe
they have split into two bands and
one has wandered to other localities.

WEED HARMFUL TO WOMEN
Scientific investigation Has Proved
That Tobacco Should Not Be Used
by the Fair Sex.

1t seems that at last a purely physio-
logical reason has been found why
women should not smoke, apart from
the very general prejudice which ex-
lists in this country.
Smoking" says DR.. Hargrave, a
London physician, docs not have the
same effect on women that it does
on men. An imperious necessity felt
by most smokers to satisfy their pas
sion after eating is physiologically ex-
planned by the excitation of the sail
vary glands whose .secretions, SO use
full in digestion, the smoke augments.
Moreover, it has been shown that 1t
sterilizes the saliva and that this is
really beneficial from the viewpoint
of the possible infection from the
foods themselves.
But with women it is serious con-
clusion reached from many expert
ments that few of them need tobacco.
While the proportion of men whose
saliyary secretions were stimulated
and steriiiZed by smoking was very
other hand. was very small. Even
in women who have been habitual
smokers for years the action Of this
weed was found to be less marked, In
fact, almost negligible'
So apparently DR.. Hargraves is of
the opinion that women should not
smoke, because they do not need it,

May Revive Old Law.

An old, forgotten law, enacted in
Kansas at time Of great need and
never used, is to be called into action
after lying dormant in the statute
books more than third Of a century.
It is the old warning OUT law, made
to fight the grasshoppers after the dis
astrous raids of the locusts in the
early seventies. There never has been
a time when it was needed heretofore,
but Gov. George II. Hodges has been
petitioned to invoke it's use in central
Kansas to fight the chinch bugs, which
threatened to do great damage to
growing crops this year.

NEWS OF MONTANA
Important Happenings 1T the
Week Briefly Told.
AXE MARKS FOUND ON TREE.
Evidences Point to the Fact That Pre-
historic Man Lived
In Mont.

Great Falls.--Going to prove that
men inhabited this part of the world
in prehistoric times and even then
used axes and showed judgment in
Telling trees, Solomon Abbott, of Shell
by, town north of this city. has de-
veloped startling evidence in his sec
ton. Not far from the Sullivan ranch
and near the junction of Cut Bank
creek and Two Medicine creek, there
is a butte, probably $50 or 500 feet
above the surrounding country and
about seven miles in circumference.
1t has cut banks SO steep at every
point that they are impossible for cat
tie and horses and that at but one
point is fence needed to keep the
animals on top of the butte.
The butte is absolutely devoid OF
timber, but at one time on the summit
there grew a fine straight pine tree
two feet in diameter and not short of
80 to 100 feet high. This is proven by
the fact that the tree now lies full
length on the ground cut into two-foot
lengths, the ak marks of the wood
man being plainly discernible in every
cut of the wood, which is now petri-
fed.
To fell the tree up hill, as was done,
1t had to be chopped ON the side to-
ward which it was to fall almost en-
tirely and the petrified stump shows
this was done. Every one of the cuts,
which hint Of commercial purposes for
the wood, gives indisputable evidence
Of the woodlands ak.
Abbott is a pioneer and is believed
to have been the first white man to
have climbed to the top of the butte.
He found the petritied tree just as it
is today and the wonder is, in what
age was the tree cut and what sort of
people did it and with what sort Of
an ak.

GREAT MINING REVIVAL
Montana Is Being overrun by Scores
Of Prcspectors Now-Warm
Weather 10 Cause.

Helena.-Warm weather prevails in
Montana, and is conducive to re.
vival in mining. Scores of prospect
ors are going into the hills, and many
of the undeveloped properties are be.
ing opened and operated.
Peter Latch has taken lease ON
the Argo copper property, which was
opened by Martin and Candle, former
ly of Helena, but now engaged in min
ing in California. The property is
we'll developed, and is equipped for ex-
tensiye mining.
The Assets company is developing a
group of claims in Golconda gulch in
Jefferson county, and has blocked out
10000 tons of ore, all of which will
average $40 ton, which is equivalent
to $1,500,000 worth of ore in sight.
The property is developed by q
cross-cut tunnel that cuts five separ
ate and distinct leads, all carrying
ore of good value. The tunnel is
400 feet in length, and an uprise
has beer made to the surface on
one of the leads, a distance of 600
feet. The company is planning to in.
stall a modern milling plant. The
owners are Anaconda men.
Helena men have secured lease
and bond on the New York mine south
of Helena, and will operate it during
the coming summer. Silver ore of
shipping grade has been mined on the
surface of the New York, and it is the
intention of the company to develop
the shoot from which that class of ore
comes.
The owners of the Johannesburg
mine, near the town of Neihart, are
elated over the discovery of a copper
deposit, which they believe will be one
of the richest in the state. Large
samples OF the ore sent to the East
Helena smelter showed a return rum
ming from IA to "a per cent of cop
per, and a small amount of silver.
The ledge from which this ore was
taken was discovered early in January.
but was not tested until recently. The
deposit is ten feet wide, and gives in
dication of extending to an unknown
depth.
1t is understood the litigation that
closed the Black Friday mine at Ra.
dersburf has been settled, and that
operations will be resumed at once
Willard Bennett, president of the com.
pany, has gone to the twin cities to
confer with the other owners in regard
to the resumption Of operations. The
Black Friday shaft is down 600 feet
but will be extended and two veins
worked.
Charles F. Holman of Oroville, Cal,
and w. B. McBubbin OF San Francis
co, arrived in Virginia City this week
to start On the big dredging project
which the California Gold Dredging
company proposes to carry on OH 700
acres along the rim Of the basin form
ing Alder gulch. The ground will
be systematically prospected along the
entire course of the claims.
Bert Ribbed has secured lease and
bond on the Arbor Day mine in the
Virginia City district from the Butte
owners, and expects to start taking out
ore soon
