WARNING NOT TO TARRY
ON THE CONDUIT ROAD
One Man Is Taught That District
Guardsmen Are Always on
the Alert.

If you think this guarding of the
Conduit road from Great Falls to the

just act a little suspiciously or tarry
too long at one point and you will soon
be convinced by q member of the Dis
trict National Guard that he means
business.
man who had apparently become
lost approached Conduit road from the
river side and was casting his eyes
about in an effort to get his bearings
late last night. He had hardly stepped
upon the roadway when a guard APP
preached from the darkness and thrust
a gun against his stomach.
Halt" was the command of the guard.
The gun was thrust against the stran-
ger in no gentle manner and he imme
diately knew what it meant. The

Warning as to Our
Waning Vitality
(By LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. D. |

(By LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. d.
In urging upon the country the
observance of last December 6 as
Medical Examination Day." the
Life Extension Institute issued
circular in which it called atten-
ton to the reasons why every
man should take stock of his
physical condition Just as FREE
quently as he takes stock of his
financial condition, thereby learn
ing his weak spots and taking
measures to repair them before it
is too late.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If
the blood is thin and watery, face
pale or pimply, generally weak,
tired and listless, one should take
a spring tonic. One that will do
the spring housekeeping, an old
fashioned herbal remedy that was
used by everybody nearly so
years ago is still safe and sane
because it contains no alcohol or
narcotic. 1t is made up of blood
root, Golden Seal root, Oregon
Grape root, Queens root, Stone
root, Black Cherry bark-ex-
tracted with giycerine and made
into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DIR.
Pierce in ready-to-use form and
since then has been sold by mil
lion bottles as DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If druggist
does not keep this in tablet form,
send Sl.OO to Doctor V. M. Pierce,
Buffalo, n. Y.
Kidney disease carries away a
large percentage of our people.
What is to be done? The answer
is easy. Eat less meat, eat coarse,
plain food, with plenty of veg
etabIes, drink plenty of water be-
tween meals, and take an uric
acid solvent after meals for
awhile. such as Anuric double
strength), obtainable at almost
any drug store. 1t was first dis
= covered by DR.. Pierce. Most
every one troubled with uric acid
finds that Anuric dissolves the
uric acid as lsot water does sugar.

Double-Breasted Models

We've included a large percentage of
double breasted models because Of their
popularity. Look at the distinctively fash
ionable lines Of the high-waisted design
shown here It is splendidly tailored to
preserve its graceful shapeliness.
There are more OF these models with
slight variations Of the style features-and
a variety in the single-breasted styles to
give you wide range for selection.
A great many of them are made up in
the soft, rich looking French Flannels-the
coats one-eighth lined for perfect comfort
The colors are attractive. and you'll find that
our blues and greens hard to find else
where. With every pair Of trousers we give
the self belt fitted with an excellent buckle.
Now, heed this warning Our stock is
not tremendously large and it's impossible
for us to know the cost of replacement.
Prices are undoubtedly going much higher.
Your time to get big value for $3.50 is

speeded on Way to Georgetown.

A towel, shaving outfit and a bar of
soap were all that was found upon the
man. He was warned not to tarry IN
the neighborhood and was passed along
Conduit road from sentry to sentry
until he reached the lower end and
made good Roadway for Georgetown,
where he was last seen.
To back up their commands for per-
sons on the roadway to halt upon com
mand. each of the guards is supplied
with fifteen rounds of ball ammuni-
ton, with instructions to shoot when
necessary.
So strict. is the guarding of the road

is permitted to remain long In any

But the fortified Belgian coast Is a

Naval Strategy Changed.

ut cannot be denied that naval STRAIT
egg has undergone vast change as
the result of tho Illegal use by Ger
many of submarines. OF course. 1t Is
also undeniable that their use legiti-
mately has changed naval warfare. But
the legitimate change is not SO great
nor so difficult to cope with as the II
legal use of submarines. Their advent
as a fighting weapon has made coast
blockade of an enemy's coast impossl-
BILE and has added to the difficulties we
face on account of the natural fea-
lures of the German coast line for either
attack or defense.
Against naval Germany the British
Isles are tipped the wrong way. One or
the disadvantages under which we sur
fered during the early part of the war
was that we had no harbor in the North
sea big enough to hold the growing
grand fleet, where 1t could be within
easy striking distance of the enemy.
One of the most striking results OF the
legitimate use of submarines has been
to compel heavy ships, in order to OBJ
tain protection from their attacks, TO
be accompanied by destroyers when
they put to sea, and this fact reduces
the radius of action of a fleet on &C
count of the limited fuel capacity of the
destrOyerS

Small Craft Best Guard.

Against a submerged attack, host
of small craft forms the best protec-
tion. We can use everything from de-
stroyers to tugs of any size. The dan
ger of showing a periscope when the
submarine may have a bomb dropped
on it. or be ranmed. is one which our
enemy does not like to face. But these
craft must be used in the zone where
submarines operate, and such a zone is
hardly likely to be extended to the
American coast. German submarines
cannot operate over there effectively
without base. and j am sure that your
magnificent navy will have no trouble

Offensive Defensive Policy.

THE most striking feature of the
change in our historic naval policy re-
sulting from the illegal use of sub
marines and from the fact that the
enemy surface ships have been driven
from the sea is that we have been
compelled to abandon a definite often
sive policy for one which may be called
an offensive defensive, since our only
active enemy is the submarine engaged
in piracy and murder.
I'VE must give our merchant fleet a
measure of protection which would not
be dreamed of If the Germans merely
used their U-boats for legitimate naval
warfare. and SO many of our smaller
warships must be used for this pur-
pose, that the 'tip-and-run' raid be
comes a possibility, while our own
blockading efforts suffer. This again
brings us back to the Importance of
small craft for the protection of the
mercantile marine. But they cannot
end the submarine menace by merely
keeping the U-boats beneath the wa
ter. We want to end the evil by de-
stroying the boats. and we mean to do
il The solution of this problem offers
plenty of scope for the inventive genius
