The fight between the retail selling
of goods by local merchants and re-
tail selling centralized in the hands of
a few powerful corporations is an old
one. But until now there has been
no practical cooperation between the
magazines and the million or more re-
tail merchants of the country. The re-

WASHESsP0!S0NS
FROM The LIVER
U~s-( ake%
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In 1t,
before breakfast.


To feel as fine a5 the proverbial
eddie, we must keep the liver washed
clear almost every morning, 10 pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
II you get headaches, It's your liver.
II you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath Or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver Is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which Is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
we'll, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate In it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire aumentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not ~salivate, for it is harmless and
you tan eat anything afterwards 1t
Is inexpensive ard almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which Is SUFFICIENT for a dem
onstration of how not water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
ct Gay IN and day out.

ing its best to help what it can in
securing the desired membership.
Already quite a number of new
members have been secured and
before Xmas eve it is planned to
have nearly every man, woman
and child in Circle, and the sur
rounding country members of the
Red Cross-the great organization
that is doing wonders towards en-
lightning the hardships, guarding
the health and binding the wounds
of our soldier boys.
Next Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day committee consisting of the
Mesdames Miller, Koehler, Bauer,
Johnson, Daily, Kalberg and East
burn will canvass the town and
solicit membership. Membership
blanks will also be found at both
banks, the Toggery and Owl Drug

Der of the Red Cross that possible
can is invited to come to the home
of Mrs. Stephens to practice sing
ing Christmas Carols, and on Xmas
eve all local Red Cross workers
will march through the streets and
sing Christmas Carols. This is
being done all over the United
States on Xmas eve as a fitting
climax to the great membership
drive.
We cannot all serve in the tren-
ches,but we can all serve at home
by becoming members of the Red
Cross, therefore if not already a
member see to it that you are be-
fore Xmas eve.

1t includes Montana, and every
body in the State. Every indivi-
dual is personally responsible for
holding that line. Our business
now is war, and doing ones bit"
should have no place in our voca-
bulary or thought. America has
undertaken the most gigantic task
in military history, task that calls
for our UTMOST in strength and
intelligence. Solidarity in Ameri-
ca and unity of aims with our Al
lies mean victory, and the guaran-
tee, in all the ages to come, of
human liberty and secure peace.
The end is worth our ALL.

hands this week, Mrs. Elvin sell
ing her stock of goods and leasing
her building to Mrs w. c. Olson,
who has already taken charge.
Mrs. Olson is an experienced
millinery lady and dressmakerand

age.
Mrs. Elvin and daughter leave
for Minneapolis in a few days
where they will visit for some time
after which they expect to return
to Glendive and keep house for
Austin Elvin who is attending
high school there. The Elvin's

The requirements for industrial
alcohol, however, in addition to
the normal output from sawdust
and other waste products, is neg
ligible. The desirability of saving
all grain used in brewing from the
standpoint of food conservation is
therefore limited by the social
question involved in the exclusive
use of whiskey.

O'Clock we were ordered by the

Not "Bit" But Utmost

| The expression "do your Bit be.
came popular in England when
the war was still regarded as a
storm that would blow over.
Then came the tragedy of Ypres
with its appalling English losses,
and England and her girdling COM
monwealths faced the grim truth,
that the war was a life and death
struggle with the autocratic power
of Germany,-that the invasion of
Belgium was violation of the
good faith of the nation-that i'm
perial Prussia must be punished
or her dogma of might is right"
would drive from the world those
principles of democracy that now
bind together the British Empire.
A great people faced a great
danger, and the triviality of doing
ones bit" disappeared. Not ones
bit, but ones utmost was demand
ed of every citizen of the United
Kingdom.
Every nerve was strained to-
ward that maximum efficiency
necessary for victory-factories
were put in high gear, the manu-
facture of luxuries curbed, ship
building was speeded up, imports
cut down, food waste reduced to
minimum, women substitutes for
men in factory and ield,-in
short every force was directed to
the common end, the defeat of
Germany.
England did not accomplish this
reorganization in a day or a month;
but day by day, as war became
the prime factor directing all bus
mess, the single purpose of the
Empire imposed itself upon the
interests of the individual. The
spirit of embattled England was
emblazoned one day through the
streets of London by women work
ers in munition plants. On this
banner was the legend: Drop
every mortal thing and send them
plenty of munitions"
This today is the imperative
call of America to every citizen.
drop every mortal thing andsend
them plenty of munitions, fuel food
and ships" Does personal bust
ness block the way? Sweep it aside
stand by the soldiers, we owe
them everything.
Not''bit" but utmost is our
country's need. What is "bit"?
According to the dictionary the
smallest quantity; a whit; a jot.
Is a bit" then the offering of
America to a bleeding world? A
bit" the toll a patriot pays for the
defence of the flag? A ''bit" the
price we pay for sons who give
their all that we may live?
The war has reached a grave
,risis. Americas share grows
ever bigger. The war zone STREET
hes from San Francisco to Berlin.
