After reading the Helena staff correspondence of the
leading Democratic paper of the confess that we
are now fully convinced without any mental reservations
whatever, that the legislature is now organzed in due
form.
When the members of legislative body are thus openly

constitutional perogatve and duty for what
ever person or they deem proper would begin to

about run its course in Montana legislatures

The Muscular has little doubt that the staff correspnd
ence OF The Miner based intimate knowledge of
the facts and that these four equy' Democratic egis
ators duly and regularly elected by the people of their
countless would probably have been expelled for failing to
vote tor the Democratic nominee for speaker
And yet there some innocent people in Montana who
are wont to become bored when reference is made to b
partisan and invinSible government
What pity II is that these "equy' Democrats did not
see tit to stand on their first conviction and let the
house expel and send back their homes four members
of the legislature for following the dictates of their own
judgment and conscience in voting for presiding officer
OF the body OF which they were elected equal and coordi

The construction of many new war
ships of the Japanese navy also has
been greatly advanced. OF the 10 de-
stroyers, the building of which was

NURSING A CASE OF MUMPS.
. DONMD McCASlEY, Md

Mumps is an infectious disease
which lasts from four to six days in
the acute stage.
The patient should be given an
ounce OF castor oil, Il tepid water bath,
and the neck bandaged with antiphlo.
gistine or simple vaseline over the in
famed area.
Little food should be given during
the acute stage, but on the other hand
great quantities of water, lemonade
orange juice and settler wafer should
be urged upon the sufferer.
All saliva should be expcctorated
into clean rags and burned. Every
thing which touches the mouth of the
patient should be promptly cleaned in
boiling water although it is not as
yet known just what the particular
germ is which causes humps.
Scrupulous care as to cleanliness,
protection and diet will be amply re-
paid for the little extra effort re-
uuirel.

whether or not your hcmorrhoids came

be due to a number of conditions. If

WAS NOT ALL HARMONY
DiscOrdant Notes Sounded at
Memorable Session of
Russian Duma.

Berlin. Jan. by Wireless to Say
ville.--Reports of the recent memoir
able session Of the Russian duma, re-
ceived here, says the Overseas News
Agency, include a speech by a member
of that body named Tshenkeli, quoting
him as saying:
"Thc parliamentary majority formed
in arbitrary fashion. raves against
peace in order to conceal the fact TINT
the whole Russian nation and all la
borers of Russia desire nothing more
ardently than peace. The so-called
progressives intrude themselves in an
effort to separate the government from
the people in order to enslave the ma
ton to a so-called allied power which
today is even more hated than all our
enemies together
Maxim Gorky, the Russian poet, is
quoted by the Overseas News agency
as saying in a speech at the anniver-
sary celebration of the Association Of
Russian writer's that the future now
is darker for the Russian nation than
ever before, that her military pros
poets are hopeless and that Russia is
facing a winter of famine, privation
and misery.
Russia sacrificed herself for her
friends and in return has been aban-
doned by Them" Gorky is quoted as
declaring. Wealthy England. which
could alleviate our misery, remains
dun and offers no help for conditions,
which are shameful and humiliating"
The News agency adds that Gorky
predicted q further increase in reac-
tionary tendencies in Russia and as
serted "since it is impossible to bring
the war to happy ending. it would
be better to terminate it in order to
avoid a peace by the grace of Eng
land"

ton is especially connected with
worn out nervous vitality. Possibly
there has been fissure or tiny ul-
cerated crack which extends across the
sphincter muscle of the anus. This
condition would give you a most in
tense pain, particularly upon defeca-
ton.
AS your doctor has removed your
hemorrhoids, it may be that there is
some condition higher up in the rec
tum, such as n polypus, or more Sc
rious form of growth.
What will be the effect of tobacco
smoking on my boy of II? He is not
robust, and he smokes very frequently.
Answer-It will serve to undermine
his nervous system and derange his
digestion, to say nothing of befogging
his mental faculties.
What can do for boils? 1 have one
on my elbow and one on my foot
Answer-Have some of the pus from
your boils taken by your physician.
and an autogenous vaccine made from
it. Your doctor will then inject this
vaccine into your blood which will
have the same effect in overcoming the
germs causing the boil as does the
anti diphtherctic vaccine when inject
ed into the system as a. preventive
against diphtheria. This is a rather
difficult and costly method of treat
ment. though it Is most excellent.
Is there anything that can be done
for my breast? l have nursed four
babies, and it seems as though after
weaving the last baby my breasts have
gone down to nothing.
AnsWer-This is perfectly natural,
for as soon as Nature finds there is
no longer any demand for the secre-
ton of milk in the breast the breast
glands stop working, and naturally
tho size of the breast becomes rapidly
diminished. This is the direct opposite
of the condition of the breast in the
mother who has just had a baby. Dur
ing the first day or two after the birth
of Il child, pain in the breast develops,
the breasts swell and pretty soon the
glands of the breast begin to secrete
milk, all of which results in an en-
largement. Your condition is perfectly
normal

after the legislature has been rganizezd whether he
would still the risk of being expelled and back
home for merely ndugng in conversation, which could
have no real effect on the actions of that body
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding all these things above
reced The Muscular will venture the assertion that
there will be equity members of the Montana egs
ature in 1919 than there 1917 and that it will not be
popular political theme that time to talk about ex
polling and sending back home members Of the legislature
who insist voting their judgment Dictates irrespective
of the action Of majority of political caucus.

Those four equity" Democratic members of the legsa-

course might have made political history Montana
they had remained firm and revocabe in the stand first

These four had it within their power to have vetoed
the nomination of any unsatisfactory candidate named by
the Democratic caucus but the pressure evidently too
strong and when the roll called they joined the pro-

signed to them.
Both the house and senate are organized apparently
by the old forces that have organized Montana leg
satures in the past and the opportunity that pre-
sented to these four equity members to have their votes
really count has passed.
Whether the express threat of "havng them expelled and
sent back their homes if they failed support the
nee of the Democratic caucus, the impeng for
their change of front in the matter of the speakershp
