atica, Lumbago, and a
Cure for Dreaded Ar
ticular Rheuma-
tiSm.

There IS host Of pills. powders. tab.
lets and what-not for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential to being
natural medicine. To begin with, rheu-
matism is simply a name given to desig-
nate a variety Of pains, and can only be
reached by irrigating the entire blood sup
ply with a naturally assimilative anti
dote True. the pains may be eased with
narcotics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being with other acids. But
these merely temporize and do not even
lead to a cure. There is but one stand
ard rheumatism remedy, and it reflects
the best thought of the day. 1t is pre-
pared in the great Swift Laboratory in
Atlanta, Ca, and sold in all drug stores
under the name OF S. S. S. at 800 q
bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by many
as a cure for rheumatism and yet S. S. s.
accomplishes in fact what faddists pro-
claim in theory and without the punish
ment Of starvation. Hot springs and
sweating are often recommended, but
S. S. S. does all that Is expected of these
expensive and weakening methods.
1t Is conceded by the closest students
of the subject that rheumatism is caused
in most cases by an acid condition of the
blood and aggravated by the remedies
commonly used for relief. In other cases
rheumatism Is the result of nerve depres-
sion; in still others it is the effect OF
some scrofulous blood condition. having
been treated with mercury, iodides, arse
mic and other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoveries Of all these types Of
rheumatism by the use of s. S. S. is a
wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine. for 1t is as
simulated just as naturally, just as spe-
cifically, and just as well ordained as the
most acceptable. most palatable and most
readily dgested food. Do not fail to
get a bottle OF s. s. S. to-day You will
be astonished at the results. II your

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES MAT
TIERS or MINOR IMPORT
ANcE At MEETING.

The council held a brief meeting
yesterday morning, Mayor R;oadea
presiding for the first time in several
weeks. The principal business to come
before the commissioners was the re-
port Of the city engineer on the ballot
ing for and against the south side
sewer proposition. The official report
showed a vote of about two to one
against the measure, the figures being
the same as those published by The
Missoulian at the time of the voting.
The council accepted the report, but
took no action upon it.
The council considered a petition
from the Missoula Gas company asking
permission to eXcavate along Higgins
avenue in order to find and stop a
serious leak. The company has already
dug several holes in the street, but the
council decided that the best thing to
do would be to let the company keep
up its search after the leak.
The Missoula band was given per-
mission to use the city hall for even
ing practices and City CLERK Smith
was given a 30-day leave. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith will go to California next
Friday for visit with their son in
Bakersfield.

LEGISLATURE CANNOT
FORM NEW COUNTIES

Helena, Jan. lin an
opinion given today by Attorney Cen
eral Kelley to Senator Muffly, as
chairman of the senate committee on
towns and counties, Mr.. Kelley holds
that if the legislature passes a bill
creating new county, the measure will
be unconstitutional. He says that the
general law of 1911 has been found ap-
plicable and efficient, and the creation
by the legislature of a new county
would be special legislation where a
general law is applicable.
The senate today passed bills for the
creation of Wibaux and Phillips coun-
ties, and just what their fate will now
be Is problematical.

turer.
2. Trade at home by patroniz-
ing the Home Merchant and ask
for Oregon-made goods.
3. Let Home Merchants ad-
vertise in the home papers that
he keeps the products of the
home industries.
Shall the thousands of local
merchants be driven out of bust
Iness by the eastern multi-mil-
lionaire catalog mail order house?
That is question that is serious
ly engaging the attentions of
Congress and of several states.
Unless some way can be found
to stop the aggressions of the
great mail order houses, more
and more country merchants will
be driven out of business.
/ Congressman Hinebaugh prov
ed by statistics that eight of the
great states of the Union have
lost in small stores in the last ten
years. Following are the states
and the number in each, due
very largely to the mail order
concerns:
Missouri, $40.
Iowa, 564.
Indiana, 639.
Michigan, GIT.
New York, TAG.
Illinois, 788.
Ohio, 1,136.
Pennsylvania, 1,520.
1t may be argued that local de-
partment stores have displaced
the small town stores and country
merchandisers.
But the fact remains that the
little country store is being driv-
en- out of business very rapidly.
Pennsylvania heads the list
and mail order officials admit
that state is the largest buyer
! from catalog houses.
1t cannot be denied that the mail
order house is the national enemy
of the country merchant, but it
has come to stay.
The proposition to tax its sales
in the states where it does bust
ness only shifts new burden on
the consumer, as the farmer needs
the town, the towns and small
cities need the local merchant.
The local merchant builds up
the town and is the backbone of
its enterprises and the main
spring of its development.
He supports church and school,
lodge and government, and his
name or firm heads every sub
scription list.
When he prospers the commun-
ity prospers and when his trade
languishes grass begins to grow
in the middle of the street.
There IS only one way to fight
the evils and abuses of the big
mail order houses that are drain
ing the prosperity of the smaller
towns and cities.
1t is not only necessary to de-
ve1op the trade at home" ideas,
but to encourage the made at
home" idea.
Encourage the home indus
tries by carrying their manufac-
lures in stock and educate the
consumers to buy them.
If the retailer and consumer
can be educated to piye the pref
erence to the home industry they
kill the mail order business to
that extent.
The couRtry merchant can be-
come the greatest factorin build
ing up factories all over the state
and keeping millions of dollars in
the state.
That is a better protection to
home prosperity than any tariff
system ever invented.
Buy and use the products of
the home industry" is a better
guaranty of prosperity than any
