SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in The blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing inflam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
news and skin are too torpid TO carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the Old-time
blood tonic, is very successful IN the
treatment of rheumatism. III acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which il
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.

a series of progressive games dur
ing the season. The first meeting
was htld at the home of E. r. Shop
pelman, January 14th, when a num-
Der of games were played. The eve
ming was very pleasantly spent with
H. L. Wolfe and E. R.Sheppleman
as host.
The local Odd Fellows at their
meeting last night voted to buy
lot 40x140 of G.. L. Partridge The
lot is part of the property now
used as skating rink. The lodge
here has made wonderful growth
the past winter and the quarters in
the school house are entirely too
small. They expect to erect &C.
ment or concrete building early in
the spring. The building they now
have in mind will be 40x100 feet,
one story with a full basement.
There is not a town in Montana chat
needs large hall as bad as Malta
and we are glad to see the Odd Eel
lows take this step and think it will
prove to be one in the right direc-
ton.

flee of sheriff in Phillips county is
John Ebaugh. That John would
make good sheriff goes without
saying. He has lived in this section
of Montana for years and during
the early times served as deputy
sheriff for Valley and Choteau
counties. He knows every badger
hole and bunch of sage brush in the
county and has never asked an Of
flee and when it comes to boosting
for Montana and Phillips county he
stands at the head Of the list.
