What BiIjy SUNDAY Saws

In one of his meetings at Boston
the noted evangelist said. 81 believe
that every disease can be cured by
some weed If we can only discover
it. There is not an ailment that God
hasn't somewhere an herb growing
that will cure that ailment."
The choice medicinal herbs which
will cure women's ailments were dis
covered more than forty years ago,
and have been doing their beneficent
work for half century. Lydia z.
Pinkham combined them in conven.
lent form in her famous Vegetable
Compound, which is to be found in
the drug stores where every ailing
woman may conveniently get it at

war funds for the government do
not mean that downright disloyalty

war funds for the government. l do
not mean that downright disloyalty
is in evidence to any marked extent,
but the character of part OF the
district made it very hard to carry the
governments message directly to the
people. The showing made in some
sections was highly surprising, being
surprisingly good. In other sections,
where great things had been expect
ed, the showings were not so good.
Perhaps some of the organizers took
it for granted that the loan would
take care of itself and did not put the
pep and vim into the work that
they should have injected.
However, we have no Just cause
for criticism. for many of us made
mistakes, honest mistakes, and we
shall profit by our lessons when
future loans are launched. 1t is a
fact, an outstanding fact. that the
best results were obtained where
the best organizations were in the
field These organizations should be
maintained throughout the war and
the organizations that did not show
as well should be strengthened and
made ready for full action when the
government makes further calls for
money"

The readiness with which citizens
of foreign birth or extraction sup
ported the loan was one of the bright
spots of the campaign. In all parts
of the district, particularly in the
chief centers of population, this class
of citizens perfected fine organiza-
tions and worked at high speed from
start to finish. It is the purpose of
the foreign born TO maintain and
strengthen their organizations and to
get into the thick Of things when the
Government launches another loan
which probably will be some time in
February or March.

When Mcmahon found the whiskey
he fired a shot in order to attract

WANT $4,000
FOR GOOD ROADS

A. j. Kent received a letter yes
terday from State Highway Engi-
neer r. NJ. Booth, of Boise, in which
Mr.. Booth states that although the
state appropriation did not specifical-
ly make an allotment for roads in
Boundary county, it has been tenta-
lively agreed that $4,000 will be
spent In the county on the National
Parks Highway between Boomers
Ferry and the Idaho Montana state
line.
The writer stated that it is ex-
pected that the government will also
contribute 900 for this road but
that the money from the state and
government would only be given
when it was assured that the county
would appropriate a like sum. ''This
MEANS" writes Mr.. Booth, chat $45,-
600 can be secured to be spent upon
the Boundary county road within the
next two years. 1t is impossible to
state when the work will be started.
Most of the money will be expended
on the stretch of road between Moyie
Springs and the Idaho Montana line.
This road has not been designated
as a state highway as yet and so
it will be necessary to make a formal
application to the government for
financial aid. Blanks for this pur-
pose inclosed.
at is possible that the pending
war may interfere with plans for
road building in all parts of the state
as it may be imperative to give first
attention to roads which may be uti-
lized for the movement of troops OF
crops.
eff your county does not care to
float a bond issue the $4,000 re-
CURED for the road work mentioned
can be appropriated from the general
road and bridge fund"
Mr.. Kent plans to have filled out
and sent in to the proper officials al
once the applications asking for gov
