u Fountains for Court Square

The committee having in charge
the work Of putting two fountains
in the court house yard will begin
the work at an early date.
There will be two nice fountains
both OF attractive size and model,
one to be placed due east Of the
east wing and the other west Of
the west wing. They will add to
the attractiyeness OF the yard
which it is proposed to turtle
beautify by the planting Of flowers.
Last year the good ladies OF Dres.

beds in the court yard, and they
added to the beauty OF the entire
square. We take it for granted
the ladies Of the town will look
after the flowers again this year.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how TO shriveI
up corns or caluses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ?!2! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
OF drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle Of
treezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or cailus from
ones feet Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration Of the high heels. II
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
6im to order small bottle for you,

The Cigarette Law

There is a law in Tennessee
prohibiting the sale Of cigarettes
absolutely and completely, to any
person whatsoever. Cigarettes arc
sold in Tennessee, without any
sort OF restriction, to any person
who asks for them. The law is
on the books. That is all.
And that situation has existed
for a number of years. No serious
effort has eyer been made to en-
force the law. None ever will be
made. Men who want to smoke
cigarettes in preference to pipe or
cigar will continue to do SO.
But boys, small boys, should
not have access to cigarettes-as
they have under the anti.cigarette
law.
II there were a different law, i'll
the sale of cigarettes to adults
were legalized and their sale to
boys prohibited, there would be a |
chance Of enforcement. Indeed. |
there would be a certainty Of en-.
iorcement. II the law we're d 10.

and violation Of it winked at. The |
boys who need protection against
he cigarette habit would have it.

CLEANING UP THE TOWN

lCLEANING UP THE TOWN
Since the little ripple between
officials at the citizens meeting
last week our city fathers seem to
have taken a new lease on life and
are giving the town a thorough
cleansing. It is astonishing the
piles upon piles OF filth that had
accumulated since the streets and
cutters were last cleaned. The
town is presenting a much more
inviting appearance, and the En-.
terprise is almost persuaded to
again enter upon a Town Beauti.

doned several months ago when
there seemed 10 be no interest in
the matter. Even if our people
do not care for a pretty town, we
believe they do want a clean,
healthy town. Let's have it,
then. The way to have it is to
keep it clean. Stop throwing all
your refuse into the streets. The
marshal is too busy to clean it
up; and, besides, he don't have to,
and so don't blame him if he re.
fuses to clean up after YOU.
The town needs two things
bad: There should be
some attention given the streets
through organization. There
ought to be a street committee
who will 60 over the town once or

WAR BRIDES.'

few Missoula citizens were privileged to Wit
ness a private performance of the famous picture
War Brides" which is soon TO be shown at one
Of the local thcatcrs. The film features Nazimova,
The famous actress, and has for its motive the hor
ror Or war. Not particularly does the picture por-
tray the suffering of the soldiers much as the
grief and anguish of the women left at home to face
the terror of uncertainty, to hear the death roll
read, dreading that each succeeding name will be
that of her husband, brother and to wonder
if they are justified in bringing forth the coming
generation to be food for the next generations
cannon" The picture succeeds admirably in
driving this point home and with the United States
all but committed to war, the one who sees this
film cannot but reflect what really means.
War under present system is inevitable under
certain conditions and ii would that the
United States is facing these conditions. Our sys-
tenn is wrong, but the hope of civilization is that
this will be the last; that kings and kaisers
to be replaced with real democracies and that
a universally acceptable plan can be devised which
will prohibit the butchering of humanity in the
future
We do ndt feel that the United States IS enter
ing this war-f war should be declared-wth any
idea of gain except for humanity; with any idea
Of territorial expansion advantageous alliance.
but rather with the idea of keeping nviolatc the
rights of nations and for the purpose of throwing
its weight insignificant though it may be from the
standpoint Of military forces into the balance, with
the idea that by this action We are doing our part
toward bringing about conditions which will not
permit the repetition of another war such as has
made shamblos of the fertile fields Of Europe
Nazimova in 'War Brides" says: Il would not
give a life for war but would willingly give my
life for peace" The United States is in that posi-
ion-forcod there by the violation of law and
ruthless disregard evidenced by Germany for nel
tral lives. We are going in to fight for peace and
honor-not for the enrichment of tho capitalist or
for economic reasons. So while we can arprcciat e
TO the fullest extent the horrible results Of war as
depicted on the screen and by the face pens which
have endcavorcd to give an impression Of the side
of encountered only the battle fields We
believe the United states cannot but take a firm
stand against the murdcrers of her citizens and Tho
nation which has shown its supreme disregard OF
international rights.

PROFESSORS THEORY
(sy Mabel X. Hali.)

'Yes. it's true; but don't tell anyone
I said So" Such Is the trend of the
response made by young women Of
Missonla to questions in regard to
their opinion of statement made by
Professor r. A. Ross Of the University
of Wisconsin in an address before the
students of the University of Iowa
upon The Changing Social Position of
Women"
Professor Ross argued that although
self support is gaining in attractive
ness. matrimony is gaining In at
tractiveness more rapidly. lie said
that the surface current in modern
tendencies would make it seem that
women arc more or more inclined to
enter 4 business life with more and
more unconcern for man. The fact
that there are now as. many college
girls as college men: that four .fifths
of the school teachers are women and
eight hundred occupations are now
open to women would add largely to
the apparent proof against marriage;
but on the other hand. he says, a
mighty undercurrent indicates that the
ease and luxury which are associated
with marriage make it the goal of most
modern girls.
Professor Ross says:
our young women are sometimes
referred to as queens and quite
properly, too, since being the wife in
wolves less labor now than ever before.
A proposal of marriage IS an invitation
to ease and luxury. The modern mar
ried woman has only about one-fifth
as much to do in the home as had her
grandmother, and statistics show that
she has only about one-half as many
children to look AFTER Professor Ross
pointed out.
about 20 per cent of todays mar
ried women enjoy a life of luxury such
as was enjoyed by only about per
cent Of our grandmothers, and more
over, the one out Of ten who remains
unmarried leaves no daughters to in
herit her affinity for business life"
While exact figures are not avail

Vegetable cropuets furnish another
way for kidding the family into eating
something they have passed up before.
Save the potatoes. Bake them or boil
them with the jackets on, for it is next
to the skin that the flavor lies. After
they are cold use them in hash, potato
patties or crOquets, or make cream
potato soup out of them.
Desserts Rarely Wanted,
Leftover dessert is never hard to
be rid of in a. paying way if there is
a boy in the family. There is usually a
yawning abyss just below that young
mans belt line within two hours after
the regular meal time and If there are
not a few odds and ends with which
to fill it, the viands prepared for the
coming meal are liable to suffer. But
with the boy and his appetite missing,
are usually q drug on the larder
Custards. 'tapioca and such buildings
can be mixed with fruit, warmed over
and served with success. When you
make gingerbread, mix the raisins and
spice with a part of it and use it as
fruit pudding. If the gingerbread be-
comes stale, crumble it, mix with mo-
lasses, fruit or spice and steam. There
is always n lot of juice left in a can of
peaches or pears. Apples stewed in this
juice will give you a dish with n unique
flavor.
Go to Public Library.
To give recipes for accomplishing
these marvcls is impossible in an ar
ticle of this nature. These are only a
few suggestions. Another and q better
one is that you visit the public library
and get acquainted with the books in
the first stack to the left as you enter.
Dozens of the best cookbooks in the
world are there at your disposal These
books are not written with the object
of telling you how you can make use
of some special brand of syrup or sub

and women who have studied cookery
as an art and know whereof they speak
from i.afie ipefdents in their practical
expeFience. Use these books and a
little care and your family will be well
fed within the minimum of expense.
