tBy Henry Van Dyke in the New York Times)
You dare to say with perjured lips
I'VE fight to make the ocean free
You whose black trail of butchered ships
Bestrews the bed of every sea
Where German submarines have wrought
Their horrors Have you never thought
What you call freedom men cali piracy?
Cnnumbered ghosts that haunt the wave
Where you have murdered cry you down.
And seamen whom you would not save
Weave now in weed grown depths a crown
OF shame for your imperious head.
a dark memorial of the dead.
Women and children whom you left to drown.
Nay not till thieves are set to guard
The gold and corsairs called to keep
Ger peaceful commerce watch and ward
And wolves to herd the helpless sheep
Shall men and women look to thee,
Thou ruthless Old Man OF the Sea-
To safeguard law and freedom on the deep.
In nobler breeds we put trust
The nations In whose sacred lore
The ought" stands out above the must
And honor rules in peace and war
With these We hold in soul and heart,
With these We choose our lot and Fart
Till liberty is safe sea and shore.

TALKS ON HEALTH
DR.. William Brady.
The fabrication Of the Inner Tube.

The liver is no longer fashionable.
It's complaints are listed mostly in
almanacs nowadays. We have found
the place of the shopworn 'liver COM
plant" and we are working this new
term pretty hard. Auto is plain
enough, and intoxication is familiar
to everybody. Administration means
self poisoning. The victim prepares
the poison himself in his inner tube,
and poisons himself with it.
If the food residue remains too long
| in the inner tube the hordes of BAG
terra there seize upon it and decom-
pose it. Some Of the by-products of
| this decomposition are poisonous when
| absorbed into the blood. Especially
| the by-products of protein decom-
| position, that is to say, meat residues
or. worse. meat broth or soup residues.
The poisoning may go on a long, long
time before the victim realizes it. For
tunately the ductless gland apparatus
of the average individual is capable of
rcacting to the presence of poisonous
substances in the circulation in suffi-
Gent degree to oxidize, break up or
| otherwise render them harmless. 1t
is only after years of administration
when the OXidizing capacity of tho
ductless glands begins to tire and fail
that the patient experiences the gen
eral and special symptoms of AUTO
IintoXication. The general symptoms
are chronic tired feeling, lack of am
bition, dullness of intellect, sz,Ilow
completion and moth patches or alive,
spots as the old timers called them
bad BREATH abdominal discomfort
drowsiness, duh eyes, headaches. etc
The special symptoms are too nu-
merous to mention.

CATALOGUES BY CARLOADS.
(Havrc Promoter)

Carloads OF catalogues being shipped
into Montana by the mail order houses. Several
drayloads recently arrived at the IIavre posoffcc
for distribution. The Sears Rocbuck company OF
Chicago had ordered 10000 tons of paper to be
used for their 1917 catalogue. Without giving any
estimate to the of the labor which enters
into them the paper alone will cost at least 200
600, which In itself is small item, 1t is probably
the largest advertising contract made In the United
States this year.
The very fact that this same company declared
dividends asgrcgating nearly $50 900 600 for the
1916. is sufficient evidence it pays to spend
that large amount for advertising purposes.
When 10000 catalogues. each weighing four
pounds is the OF a single mail order house s
bid for business centering at Havre, is time to
call attention to the fact that the and women
who do their shopping at home serve their own in
terests well as those Of the community.
The mail order houses in sense philan
thropic. They not in business for their health

Catalogues In q given territory. They have no in.
vestnent in this state. but their profits derived
from Montana patronage must amount to q large
sum.
AZ long human nature Is what 1t is the bar
gain hunter will be in evidence. The trouble of It
all is that the aluring promises held in the at
tractve mail order catalogues accepted with the
faith that is given the of the local
merchant who il responsible and whose goods may
be examined. The mail order houses sell inferior
goods at prices that made to seem cheap. AS
matter Of fact, these pay enormous divi-
dends at the expense of their patrons
The people who buy at home save money and
benefit their own town: the people who seek bar
gains in Chicago. Kansas City elsewhere lose
money and at the same time build up the dividends
Of those who have done nothing for the community
and have interest in it except what they may
take out of 1t.
There isn't merchant in Havre but could gain
profitable trade by advertising extensively
and letting the people know that he success

money. They do not share the burden of taxation

THE FOOD RIOTS.

The food riots in New York and other eastern
cities not comforting commentaries upon
much Wanted systems Of transportation. The
railroad managers frankly admit that their rolling
stock equipment is not sufficient for the demands Of
business.
The lumber mills on the Pacific coast have not
been able to make shipments of their products and
other industries suffering from the lack
Of adequate shipping facilities.
OF course the practical elimination of transporta-
tion through the Panama canal has thrown extra
burden upon the railroads, but that in itself does
not fully answer the question.
There Is an admitted weakness in machinery
for transportation. Possibly the investigation that

and for which 100000 has just been appropriated
may throw real light upon the matter that may
finally result in concrete results
It has become the custom to blame everything
the war. Possibly the congestion Of freight ship
ments at Atlantic seab0rd points on account of the
terror inspired by the German submarine operations,
may be found to be the cause for the scarcity Of
food in the eastern Cities but is experience

A DANGEROUS REMEDY.

The action by congress in adding amendment
to the postoffice appropriation BILL making it UNI
lawful to ship liquors into any state that has
adopted prohibitory law as to sales, while still
permitting the individual to ship liquors into the
state for his individual use, is a dangerous
remedy
If the state law permits the shipment for indi-
vidual use. it is hard to understand how congress
has the right to make illegal that which the state
law says is legal. Poor old John Barleycorn seems
undoubtedly brought the public wrath down on his
head by his actions but if congress do this
thing with liquors it can also take similar action
with any other commodity.
Tho danger in dealing with any given question by
legislative action often lies the fact that
to do single specific thing, general rule is laid
down that may return to plague in the future.
The reaction that usually sets in against reform
measures most generally has its origin in the in
sistcnt demands of the ultra -radc; elements the
reform forces.
1t is perfectly legitimate and right for congress
to prohibit the shipment Of liquor into bone dry
ritory, made by the action of the people of any
state, but many people will question the wisdom of
prohbitive action by the federal congress that is in
direct conflict with the permit laws of some Of the
dry states, which expressly give to the individual
the righ, to make shipment of liquors for his own
personal use.
