PATRIOTISM s ISSUE
BEFORE CITY TONIGHT
Chamber Of Commerce to
Discuss Three Vital Mat.
tiers at Meeting.
STAMPEDE IS FIRST
Substitution of Patriotic
Celebration for Show
to Be Voted On.

Tonight three matters, all of them
pertaining to patriotism of the people
Of Missoula, will be discussed at the
meeting Of the general membership Of
the Missoula Chamber Of Commerce.
Notices of the general meeting were
sent last evening by Secretary Rich
ards to all of the chamber of COM
merce members. 1t will begin at 8
o'clock in the chamber of commerce
building.
The most important matter to be
considered is whether or not Missoula
will this year devote her attention to
mammoth Fourth OF July celebration
on the anniversary of the nations
birthday or have a Stampede of three
days. The executive committee of the
chamber of commerce has declared for
patriotic celebration only, calling
upon the citizens to cooperate in this
and to divert their resources into those
channels which will result in greater
food supply and greater assistance for
the army and navy, as well as general
relief work. The officials of the cham
Der of commerce hope that there will
be a representative attendance of the
membership tonight to decide this
question.
Military Service.
The other two matters to be dis
cussed will probably be linked together
because both of them concern the ac-
ton of Montana's congressman in the
matter of universal training as against
the old volunteer. Congressman John
NJ. Evans has wired the chamber Of
commerce and has asked for an ex-
preston on this matter. Congressman
Evans in his telegram says he is in
clined to favor the volunteer system
over selected CONSUMPTION or univer-
sal training.
COngresswoman Jeanette Rankin is
said to favor the volunteer system. A
long telegram from the chairman of
the committee on national defense was
received by The Muscular last even
ing. The telegram contains arguments
against the position of Miss Rankin.
This telegram will be read at the meet
ing tonight and opinion of the chamber
of commerce members asked so that
this opinion may be made known to
Miss Rankin by telegram.
1t is expected that these three i'm
portant matters will draw a large
crowd from out for the chamber of
commerce meeting, which will begin at
O'Clock.

The Future Of DaIrylng.

hnO oseh0 W O2u soSs
Secretary Houston and Food Admins.
traitor Hoover called about 90 represent
atives of the live stock interests to
Washington on the 9Th, 9th, and 7th OF
September to confer with them upon
conservation and production OF live
stock and live stock products. The
worlds supply Of animal products is
low, and 1t is wise to take some steps
to increase the supply. We have not
reached the period, and will not In
many years to come, when our popula-
tion must subsist largely on vegetable
diet. The red blood of our nation re-
quires milk and its products and meat.
Secretary Houston, In his remarks,
called attention to the fact that seven
teen years ago We had 1876. million head
Of cattle, hogs, and sheep and to-day
1S6 million with an added population
of 20 millions. Further, war 10 great
destroyer of animals. This condition
assures the live stock interests OF this
country good demand for all kinds OF
farm animals. At the present time
the prices OF dairy products are too
cheap when compared with the prices
of grain and other feeds. II the
promising three.billion bushel corn
crop ripens. grain and feed will be
cheaper. If frost comes early and
there is much soft corn, live stock will
have its place then. for no better dis
position can be made Of soft corn than
to feed it to live stock.
The nation needs fat and protein and
the dairy COW is the best animal for
these, products. No animal
on the farm will produce as much
human food from q given amount OF
feed as the dairy COW. A fair cow will
produce as much food in year as three
steers. Steers must be slaughtered to
get their food, but COWS yield food
daily and year after year without being
killed.
Our present situation is going to
teach the consumer the food value OF
dairy products and this should lead him
to willingly pay as much for them as he
pays for other animal products. Dairy
products have never sold for what they
we're worth In comparison with meat as
food. Milk is our cheapest animal food
product today, yet more complaint 10
made about the high prices of dairy
products than about the high prices OF
meat. 1t shows the ignorance of the
consumer in regard to the relative
value of foods. Men who own dairy
COWS should lay plans to keep them and
to give them good care. The prices for
dairy products are going to be more
nearly in keeping with the prices OF
other food products than they have been
In the past. Moreover, the demand Is
going to be larger, for people are fast
the food value Of dairy prod
nets. Since the beginning of the war the
Dairy Division has already been instru-
mental in getting over 200, 900 lbs. of skim
milk to be made daily into cottage cheese.
This is small factor but 1t is start in
the right direction.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Important Anti:Tuberculosis Work.

NEW YORK, October 10.--The impor.
tance of the Community Health and
tuberculosis Demonstration at Framing.
ham, Mass, has just been officially recog-
nized in strikingly practical way by
the exemption from military service Of
DR.. Donald B. Armstrong, Executive
Officer of this work. The District Ex-
emption Board, in passing on his case,
ruled that he was performing q service
essential to the interest welfare OF the
nation In time of war. j..
At the headquarters of the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis here, this decision is
bailed as definitely putting on the map
not only the Framingham work, but the
entire anti-tuberculosis war program.
The exemption of DR.. Armstrong is held
to be peculiarly significant In view OF the
shortage of physicians eligible for mill
tary service.
The Framingham Demonstration aims
to determine methods of stamping out
tuberculosis in community by system
of complete control of the social con-
ditions that cause disease. 1t was be-.
gun year ago and is being carried on
under the direction of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention Of
Tuberculosis with 100000 fund con-
tributed by the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company.
The exemption of DR.. Armstrong was
the result OF claim made by the Nation
al Association, backed by statements
and afidavits from over fifty leading
medical and health authorities of the
country.
In this claim It was pointed out that
the Demonstration from its beginning
was planned BY DR.. Armstrong and that
q change OF directorship now would
practically undo the work of whole
year. 1t adds: "This work is of prime
Importance not only to the factories in

on government war contracts, but also
as q demonstration 10 industry through
out the United States, both in the pres
emit emergency and in the period of In
tensive health conservation In industry
which OF necessity will follow the war. !"
The Demonstration began with an
educational campaign OF special litera-
ture, newspaper articles and public
meetings. A local organization was
formed to cooperate in the work and to
continue 1t after the demonstration is
completed. Then followed careful
