Jackson and John @. Calhoun-whose teach
ings were founded upon Common Sense, JUS

Father of Political Economy have always
believed that Government has the same
rights, powers and duties in the creation OF
Money, that it has in the creation of an Army

The Government, not God, makes the Army

IN the latest issue of The Menace we find the
following:
Press dispatches tell us that at the National
Convention of the order recently held in st. Paul,
Minn., the oath made public, and the daily
papers print it verbatim.
William J. Mckinley supreme" secretary of
the order, in fact says that it is not an OATH but
merely a patriotic obligation. Here is the obi
cation just as they take it, if you willing to
believe what they say about it.
eve promise to support the Constitution of
the United States to promote respect for the law
and order, to do everything in our power to pro-
tect the purity and integrity of the ballot, gen
orally to conduct ourselvese in civil affairs
as to reflect honor and credit upon citizenship;
to remain loyal members of the Catholic church
and to continue loyal to civil authority"
Is there single thoughtful person who will
believe that the 4th degree oath of the
Knights of Columbus is SO insipid as all that?

prominent places in the repertoire of
American opera companies. and the

Sammy Jay Tells Peter Rabbit That
He Is Sorry.

When YOU ve done a thing that's wrong
Just so and say you re sorry.
Don't let an untruth drag along
Just so and say you're sorry.
There's nothing else will clear the way
And brighter make the passing day.
When YOU have done or said or thought
thing more unkind than YOU ought
Than just to say you're sorry.
You remember how Peter Rabbit could
find no one to believe him when he told
about the great, strange tracks which he
had found in the snow deep in the Green
Forest at the very end of winter or
course YOU do And you remember how
Jay had made fun OF Peter and
teased him until Peter would hardly put
his head outside OF the dear Old Briar
Patch. Now Sammy was learning Just
how Peter had felt. To be sure, il was

How to Live
100 Years
Is the Name Of a New Book

Eugene Christian, F. S. D., the worlds
greatest Food Scientist. has just published
new book called SHOW to Live 100
Years"
This book tells you what to eat accord
ing to your age, your work and the time Of
the year 1t teaches you how to select,
how to combine and how to proportion
your food At meals so as to establish perfect
digestion and assimilation of food and
perfect elimination of waste. In other
words, it teaches you how to cure all
stomach and intestinal disorders by remov-
ing their causes, which is wrong eating.
Ifyouhave indigestion, gas, fermentation,
sour stomach or any such disorders after
meal, this book tells you how TO put the
remedy on your table at abe next meal.
DR.. Christian shows that all animals ex-
cept man live about eight times as long as ii
takes them to get their growth. If man
should do this he would live nearly 200
years, but civilized man dies at the average
age of 80. He begins to lose his teeth, his
eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave
only few years after he is grown.
DR.. Christian shows that % per cent Of
all the human beings born into the world
die before they are one year old. IS per
cent more die before their fifth birthday,
and more than half of the human race die
before they are twenty-five.
All other animals on the globe live eight
times as long as il takes them to get their
growth Man breathes the same air. drinks
the same water, lives under the same sun
shine, but differs from his brother animals
only in his eating, therefore DR.. Christina
shows conclusively that this appalling dis
crepency must be on account of his eating
habits and he has proved that his theory is
true by curing over $4,000 people within
the past ten years by teaching them what to
eat and how to cat. chow to Live 100
Years" gives the secret Of his methods.
This book does not disarrange OF upset
the family table II teaches the housewife
what foods the meal should be composed Of,
so as to make them chemically harmonious
and perfectly digestible and healthy.
This book it beautifully bound in yelum,
and gold lettered. Send one dollar to DR..

Local Grain Quotations.
Assinniboine Opening Delayed.

According to a Washington special
to the Anaconda Standard, objection
by Representative Mann of Illinois
prevented the passage by the house
of senate bill 655, providing for open
ing to settlement and entry something
like 10000 acres of land embodied in
the abandoned Fort Assiniboine mill
tary reservation. Objection was rails
ed because of the assumption that, un-
der the bill as drawn. it might be pos
sible to get hold of timber land under
the homestead law.
Some of the land of the reservation
contains as much as $4,000 feet of tim.
Der to the 40 acres, and in the eyes
of eastern members that is a very
heavy stand of timber. Mr.. Stout en-
deavored to convince the house that
land that carried no more than 1900
feet of timber to the acre was not
worth much as timber land, but the
eastern members could not see it that
way and refused to assent to the con
sideration of the bill by unanimous
consent.

Hill Donates Prize Exhibits.

Helena, Sept. 26.-The Great North
ern railroad will donate to the Mon
tana exposition commission all the
state fair exhibits which won Great
Northern prizes and would therefore

the efforts the commission is exerting
to secure fitting exhibits for the Mon

of the lately acquired grain over to
Secretary HaZelbaker.
The Great Northern railroad offers
several valuable premiums at each
state fair with the provision that the
winners shall give their exhibits to

the fair were entered for the Great
Northern premiums. When the awards
we're made the railroad was the own

New Destructive Substance.

London, Sept. 17.-Remarkable tales
of novel engines of al are appearing
in all parts of Europe, but nothing has
yet equalled the reports circulated
concerning new guns used by the
French which fire turpinite, a sub
stance said to deal instantaneous and
painless death for every living thing
within its reach.
Although it is so deadly in its work,
turpinite can not be objected to on the
ground that it violates human princi-
pies of war. In fact it is so humane
that it must not be confused with lyd-
dite and other explosives which have
deadly fumes.
English correspondents have report
ed that entire lines of German soldiers
stood dead in their trenches as a re.
suit of the fumes from the mysterious
turpinite discharged by the French in
engagements along the Marine. The
dead Germans are reported to have
maintained a standing posture and re-
tanned their rifles in their hands. so
sudden and unusual was the effect of
the new weapon. Instantaneous para
ysis is said to have been caused by
turpinite.
The French guns for the use of tur-
pinite is shrouded in as great a mys-
terry as turpinite itself. Experts are
required, it is said, for the use of the
new ammunition, and the manipulation
Of the strange gun so recently intro
duced into warfare.

Result of Deep Flowing.

If the results of a single trial can
be considered a reliable criterion it
pays to pillow deeply for wheat. To
this as a fact w. p. (BilD Sullivan
points, his land, which was plowed
two inches deeper than his neighbor,
who had precisely the same quality
of ground, yielded him nearly is bu-
shells per acre more, says the Great
Falls Leader.
Mr.. Sullivan has a farm, the Mil
ner place. lear Square Butte. He
bought this ranch from the govern
ment paying $13 per acre. Last fall
he hired a plowing outfit to break up
$50 acres and in the contract he
agred to pay soc per acre more than
the usual price to have the land turned
over a depth Of two inches deeper
than is the custom. On the farm ad-
joining, at the same time and under
the same conditions, a similar piece
seeded their land at the same time
and the same attention was paid both
patches afterwards.
The crops matured simultaneously,
but when threshing was finished it
was found that the Sullivan land had
yielded 44.9S bushels per acre as
against q bushels for the neighbor.
The Sullivan wheat sold at 80 cents
per bushel netting about $7,4OO, which
is between $27 and $2S per acre above
the price paid the government for the
land in which it was grown.
The information contained in the
foregoing paragraphs was supplied by
A. H. Davis, manager of the Miner
Cattle company's holings in the Shon-
kin country, who has closely watched
ing the past year.
