SAYS BODY A
POISON FACTORY
Urges everyone to drink
glass of hot water be-

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimi-
mated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bac-
terra which infest the bowels. From
this mass of leftover waste, toxins
and ptomaine like posons are formed
and sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
Ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation Of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour. gassy stomach
after meals. are urged to get a guam
ter pound Of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little. but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-

State highway departments has been
rapid. The first of these agencies was
created in 1891 in New Jersey and now
some form of highway department ex-
lists in every State except Indiana,
South Carolina, and Texas Since their
inception these departments had ex-
pended to Jan. /, 1916, an aggregate of
$685., 350,S2 in State funds for road and
bridge construction, maintenance, and
administration. They had constructed
over $4,000 miles of roads in co-opera-
ton with the States. More than 10000
miles of these roads We're surfaced.
The falling off in the value of road
work performed by statute and con-
vict labor was from $50, 100000 in 1904
when the total road expenditures We're
$4,000, 900 to about s15,Q00,000 in 1915
when the total expenditures had grown
to $3.50 ,000, 900. This was a reduction
from % per cent of the total in the for
mer year to less than 1-2 per cent of
the total in 1915.
An increase in the use of better and
more expensive types of roads also is
shown by the recently. sta
tistics. This development has been
due, in large part, to the great in
crease in automobile traffic. 1t is es-
timated that there are now approx
mately II million automobiles in use
on the roads of the country, or I car
for every mile of road. This present
motor traffic is in excess of traffic of
all sorts L years ago.
The cash road and bridge expendi-
lures of the United States averaged
only s2S per mile of rural roads in 1904
In 1915 this average had grown to $109
per mile. New Jersey led all other
States both in 1904 and in 1915 with
1921 and si75 per mile respectively Ne
vada made the least expenditure in
both years-S3.72 per mile in 1904 and
ST. per mile in 1915.

1t Always Happens

Whenever the people of Roman
want to use the long distance
phone between Roman and Mis-
soula the most, it always goes
out of commission. This hap
pened again Tuesday night just
about the time the election re-
turns could have been trans
mitted, but none got over the
wire. Mrs. Stillman was on the
job until after 4 O'Clock a. M,
Wednesday morning, in hopes of
getting some news for those who
stayed up to get the returns, but
it was impossible to arouse the
Missoula office. Either there
was too much work for one in
that office or something else hap
pened, anyway we did not get
the returns. A long suffering
public may some day perform
the operation of the proverbial
worm.

For six years past there has
been much talk going around the
Flathead about us wanting and
being entitled to a county COM
missioner from this section. This
year the people had a chance to
select from four men nall resi-
dents of the Flathead-all COM
petent to serve. How did they
fare when the votes were count
ed? Cast up the election re-
turns as published and you will
find this is about the answer to
the problem: DR.. A. K. Resner,
272; F. H. Lee, 127; Andy Hous-
ton, II; A. Sutherland, 118.
There were 1407 registered to
vote at the late lamented pri-
mary and of this number about
512 went to the polls. This would
leave 1856 stay-at-homes. 1t is
possible that 600 of this number
could have voted who didn't,
and had they been as anxious to
vote as they have been to COM
plain, it would have been pos
sible to nominate any man they
might have settled upon. Add
600 to DR.. Resner's 272 and he
would have had 872, or ZIG more
than the highest vote cast for
any of his competitors. Or add
the 600 to Mr.. Sutherland's 118
and he would have had a plural
ity of Al votes. This tells the
whole story Of what might have
been.
