Take Care of Yourself.

If you want a clear head and good
digestion you must not let your bowels
become clogged with poisonous waste
from the body. as is always the case
when you become constipated. Proper
food, an abundance of water and
plenty of outdoor exercise should keep
your bowels regular. When that fails
you should take Chamberlain's Tab

of the bowels and are easy and pleas

most powerful radio plant on the west

OF the more interesting features of the
station follow: An absolutely sound

The walls and floors are padded
with asbestos. There are four sepa-

complete. thus enabling any OF four
operators or all four at once to send
and receive messages. The antennae
weigh l6 tons. This aerial IL said to
be twice as large as that strung from
the Eiffel tower In Paris.
The helix is II feet in diameter and
II feet in height. or about nine feet
higher than that used in ordinary sta
tons, both naval and commercial. The
weight of the generator is 60 tons and
the tree 100 -kilowatt transformers
weigh $500 pounds each. Approx
mately o5 miles Of piping and copper
cable have been laid throughout the
radio reservation Of ,2h acres.
A large part of this area will be
kept wet always, to afford a good
ground for the huge aerial. The
three 600 foot aerial towers contain
100000 pounds of fabricated steel
and are the largest radio towers In
the world. They are placed in tri-
angle, 100 feet apart.

From news article which appeared in this
pape~ few days ago, some readers may have
inferred that prices now being asked for mer-
chandise in Missoula are higher than conditions
warrant, and our purpose herein is to correct
that impression insofar as this store is con-
cerned.
We wish to declare most positively that, TAX
ing the store in its entirety, there is not one
thing higher-priced than the conditions war
rant, while, as a general proposition, all things
are LOWER-priced than the conditions war
rant. e., if our goods were priced on the
basis Of present-day costs, they would, in the
nature of things, bear much higher prices.
None but those who participated in our ef-
forts can realize to what lengths the Missoula
Mercantile company has gone to prevent the
toners with all its weight. How, by anticipat-
ing our requirements in many lines as much as
year and in some lines as much as two years
in advance, we have fOrestalled numerous ad-
vances in costs, how, by knowledge
born of many years Of experience in the
markets and personal touch with manu-
facturers, we have been able to MAIN
tain full and complete stocks, despite acute
shortages in the market; how, by the magic of
unlimited credit, we have been able to maintain
mastery of every situation which so far has de-
NclOptu. Ill SIOTt, our eVe1V resource mas DeVu
brought to bear in the erection of a f0rtification
to protect our customers from exorbitant
prices.
True enough, prices average higher than in
normal times. To claim that we have accom-
plished the impossible and continue selling mer-
chandise at the same prices as existed two years
ago. would be ridiculous. But we do contend
that our present prices are in no wise criterion
by which to Judge present-day values or prices
asked for identical merchandise in other stores
the country over.
Here the staples, Fruit of the LOOM mus
lin, to mention just one of the hundreds of such
items, are priced about as in normal times,
though everybody knows they are worth more.
Mems clothing, of our usual high standard of
quality and workmanship, is practically no
higher in price to the wearer than ordinarily,
though to duplicate much of this merchandise

We should have to pay as much at wholesale as
we are asking for the goods at retail Shoes
are cheaper here, in proportion to the present
cost Of leather, than we ever sold them before.
The standard, staple styles Of shoes are but Soc
to $500 a pair higher than they were two years
ago, and are not priced at $500 to $500
pair as so many reports would make believe.
We have shoes at $500 and even more pair,
but they are novelties, richer in material and
finer in every way than any Of Solomon's fa-
vorite wives ever dreamed Of Such shoes,
while lovely to see and wear, can only be classed
as Injuries, and we provide them to satisfy the
demand; they are expensive to make are
risky" merchandise at best, and must necessar-
lily bring big prices. In women's wear. prices
are high or lOw-pretty much as the individual
wills it. If women must have the novelty ap-
parel such as the queens of fashion wear, it is
our duty to provide such apparel, and we do;
but if clothes Of good substantial quality, good
style and moderate price are desired, we provide
them, too; in either case, at prices we know to
be reasonable and fair.
This store is fortunate in that it has from its
beginning been a store Of high quality mer-
chandise. We have ever commended that the
best is the cheapest in the long run. The So
called "cheap" goods Of former days are the
goods that have suffered the greatest increase
in price and depreciation in quality. Standard
high-grade merchandise has been affected, but
not nearly to such an extent as cheap goods,
so today most of the talk about high prices is
caused by advances made on goods which were
always dear at any price, and people who were
accustomed to buy such goods and continue to
do so through mistaken notion of economy
are now paying more and getting less for their
money than ever before.
We believe we might justly lay claim to the
title, Economists for the People, and whether
you buy here or not, the influence of our efforts
to maintain prices within reasonable bounds
cannot escape observation.
