cation Of the Missoula Light and
Water company at the meeting Of the

early in the year and the company

Red Blood
and Courage!
(By DR.. w. c. Lucas.)

What drives the men right up to the
trenches in this war is courage, and
it's red blood that puts the heart" in
the men. Did any one ever see a
puny, thin blooded man ever rush into
the fight with any chance of winning
out; With rich, pure blood you can
face any hardship, reach any goal.
But you are handicapped in the race
Of life without it. Every tissue, bone,
muscle, should take from the blood
certain materials and return to it GER
tain others. This process insures per-
feet health. When the poisons accumu-
late in the blood. perhaps the face
breaks out in pimples, or boils appear
on the neck, and we feel languid.
tired. our vitality is at low ebb, and
we easily catch cold.
It's time to take an Alternative ex-
tract and blood purifier taken from
Natures forests. Such n one is made
up of Golden Seal, Blood and Stone
Root, Oregon Grape and Queens root
extracted with glycerine and made
into sugar coated tablets or liquid and
this has been sold by druggists for the
past fifty years as Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It's always effica-
cious in the spring when the blood is
run down and you need 4 wholesome
tonic. Try this old-fashioned but re-
liable remedy. without alcohol
If you are occasionally troubled with
rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain in
the back, toes or muscles of the body,
this is due to uric acid stored in the
system. The liver and kidneys do not
act properly. For such q person,
advise taking Anuric double strength)
three times daily for a week or two.
This Anuric throws out the uric acid
which accumulates. and if taken occa-
sionally will prevent or cure rheuma-
tism and govt. There is no difficulty
in obtaining Anuric at any drug store.

MR.. AND MRS. LINCH
CHARGED WITH THEFT
Said to Have Stolen Shoes
From Cobbler.

Mr.. and Mrs. s. D. Linch were ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Patrol
man w. J. Moore on the charge of
petty larceny. Linch. it is said, stole
a pair Of woman's shoes from Collins
cobblcr shop. Inch admits the theft,
the police say. but the woman dis
claims all knowledge of the act.
1t is probable that the case will de-
velop into more than a petty larceny
case. Among the personal effects of
the prisoners We're found some bottles
OF white powder. presumably coke"
Candles and matches. an old spoon, a
hypodermic needle and other para.
phernalia Of a dope fiend were also
found. Some of the stuff was con.
tanned in a medicine case with the
name of DR.. r. NJ. Brooks, Silverton
Oregon, on the cover. It is thought
that the case has been stolen and ef-
forts are now being made to find the
owner The man and woman are both
well clothed and are displaying several
pieces OF jewe1ry.

Army Does Not Want Pick.
pockets and Will Not
Take Them.
TO IMPROVE MORALS
Constant Aim Is to Raise
Standard Of Morality,
Not Lower 1t.
Editor AfiSsOulian.

Editor MISSOullan.
My attention is called to an article
in your paper. stating that one Joe
Martin. pickpocket, was given the
option of a prison term or enlistment
in the United States army by Justice
Gagnon.
1t has been the constant aim of the
recruiting service to improve the moral
stamina of the enlisted personnel in
the army, and thereby make it q
greater attraction for deserving, hon
est, patriotic young men.
In this we are succeeding. Thou
sands of clean. law abiding, ambitious
young men, including hundreds of
high school boys, are enlisting on the
advice of us who say: 1T is the best
place for worthy boy to GO
BY a laborious system of education.
ably assisted by the press of the ma
ton, we are overcoming the prejudice
that once existed in regard to the
United States regular army man.
believe that | can prove to any nn
baised individual that the regular
army today. with its enlist for war
term Of service, its trained officers,
its trained noncommissinned officers.
its trained doctors, its trained cooks,
and with all the thousand vacancies
that will exist in the office of nom
commissioned officer. is the most
choice way to serve Uncle SAM
In saying this, ] cast no reflection
on the other arms. The National Guard
officers are equally patriotic, brave
and as gentlemanly, but they lack the
experience possessed by the regular
army officer. The term OF enlistment
in the navy or the marine corps, gives
the army with its war service only,
the advantage.
1t seems to me, as one deeply con-
cerned not only in getting recruits,
that to even intimate that a convicted
pickpocket be thrust into the United
States army, is an insult to the Mis-
soula boys who have so readily vol
unteered, to the United States army
in general and to the nation.
No thief lasts long in the United
States army. The soldiers often handle
these culprits themselves without Of
fetal cognizance ever being given.
But we want none to have to weed out
and if we know of it, no such indi-
vidual shall ever enter the service.
(Signed) HARRY T. MITCHELL,
recruiting officer.

NAVAL WARFARE WILL
BE SHOWN ON STAGE
Submarine to Operate in a
Huge Tank.

Worthy of special mention is one of
the acts with the Pantages road show
at tho Missoula theater Thursday
night OF this week. It is OF special in
terest owing to the fact that it is OF
an educational nature and will demon
strate to the people much of the detail
Of naval warfare. The act is in charge
of Captain Sorcho. one of the most
expert under water men in the United
States
Captain Sorcho is a submarine en-
sineer Of international reputation and
will be best remembered as the man
who had charge Of the investigation Of
the Maine disaster in Havana harbor
in 1898. On this occasion he person.
ally recovered 1872 Of the bodies Of our
brave sailor boys and for this was pre-
scnted with a gold watch by Captain
Sigsbee.
Captain Sorcho realizing that the
public interest in the present war to
the extent Of wanting to know every
thing that is taking place. has put to-
gether an exhibition that gives the
smallest child comprehensive knowl-
edge OF what submarine warfare is in
all its horribleness and what our coun-
try Is now up against in preparing for
such warfare
His exhibition comprises q huge
glass and steel tank containing about
$4,000 gallons of water in which he
shows submarine boats in full opera
ton. the planting and exploding Of
submarine mines, the working OF the
submarine telephone and search light
and how a deep sea diver would work
at the bottom Of the sea. He per-
sonally delivers n most interesting
lecture on a subject now so vital to
the American public in a manner that
leaves nothing to the imagination.
Since this lecture and exhibition Is the
result Of over % years experience as
a submarine engineer in association
with such men as Simon Lake and the
late John p. Holland, the pioneers, in
the submarine field. any information
that the captain might impart would
be well worth listening to.

SMALL CRAFT NEEDED
FROM L. S.-.JELLICOE
Continued From Page One)

within easy striking distance of the
enemy. one of the most striking re-
suits of the legitimate use of the sub
marines has been to compel heavy
ships, in order to obtain protection
from their attacks, to be accompanied
by destroyers when they put to sea
and this fact reduces the radius of
action of a fleet on account of the
limited capacity Of the destroyers.
The most striking feature of the
change in our historic naval policy re-
sulting from the submarine campaign
and from the fact that the enemy
surface ships have been driven from
the sea is that we have been compel
led to abandon a definite offensive
policy for one which may be called an
offensive defensive, since our only
active enemy is the submarine engaged
in piracy and murder.

problems. 1t is difficult to deal with
now. owing to German operation and
