TOWN INVADED
BY FLA7HEAOS

There was much apprehension felt
here Monday when Chief of Police
Neitzling and Mayor Grist received
word over long distance that Mon
day was the day set for an invasion
of this city by a bunch of reserva-
tionites. Quickly the word was
spread about by the town crier and
everybody either armed themselves
whichever appealed most to their
fancy. Evidently the woods idea pre-
vailed with most of them, for the
streets actually looked deserted when
a big automobile rolled into town
about 3 o'clock, bearing five distin-
guished looking gentlemen. 1t was
quickly observed that there had been
some misinformation circulated re-
garding the matter, for there was an
entire absence of war paint and the
visitors gave every indication of hav-
ing hailed from a really civilized
community.
They were met by Mayor Grist and
Chief Neitzling and were vouched for
by the amicable w. B. Mcdonald,
manager of the Northern Idaho and
Montana Power Co., who accompan-
led the party.
The visitors turned out to be a
party of Roman city officials making
a tour of this portion of the valley
in quest of information on matters
pertaining to city management.
1t seems that when a disastrous
fire destroyed the town of Roman a
few years ago, there was little effort
made to reorganiZe the work of the
towns affairs, for the reason that
the railroad officials could give no
definite information as to where the
proposed road would be built, and for
a long time it was believed it would
be necessary to move the town to the
road, which survey ran about three
miles from the townsite. But fortune
favored the original tOWnsite and now
the work of grading and laying steel
at the very edge of town assures
property owners of permanency of the
the town, and consequently that burg
has taken a new lease of life and
things are doing" down at Roman.
The object of the visit was to ex-
anime water and power franchises
and to gather data that would be of
help to the officials of that thriving
town to determine upon certain mat
tcrS.
Among other things, the Northern
Idaho and Montana Power Co. desires
a franchise for furnishing the city
with power and light, and the mum
icipality contemplatcs establishing Il
water system of it's own. The Wis
itOrs were a live wire crowd and left
nothing unsaid that would reflect any
thing but credit on Roman and the
community around their town. They
declared that the trip to Kalispell
been worth while and that they en-
joycd every bit of it.
The party consisted of Attorney
j. =. SWcc, mayor; Ross Lemre, mer-
chant and councilman; 70. r. burst,
councilman and feed dealer, and G.
e. Allen, contractor and councilman.
They were accompanied by w. B. Nc
Donald of kalispel]. They visited

Mr.. Perry had been out for a

REGISTRATION At
ROMAN TOTALS 1879

Registration Day passed quiet
ly in Roman and the number turn
ing out for registration surpassed
the estimates of those even in
close touch with the situation.
Registration cards supplied to the
Roman precinct based on the es-
innate taken from the list of
registered voters were exhausted
before noon and Sheriff Green
rushed through from Missoula
with an additional quota.
The total number registering
under the CONSUMPTION act for
the Roman precinct was 189. Of
this number there were 80 mar
ried men who claimed exemptions
and an equal number of benedicts
who disclaimed the exemption
privilege. Twenty single men of
those registered filed claim to
exemption and ninety did not.
The names of the aliens appear
on the lists and only one of these
claimed the exemption from SER
vice and this he made on the
ground, of marriage and depen-
dents.
Classified by ages the result at
the Roman registration precinct
showed as follows:

The Distinguished Social Psychologist.

The blood Is not receiving its
Matchmaking stuff In sufficient
quantities. Through lack of proper
breathing in the individual 1t re-
ceives only enough oxygen for the
mass Of the body. This mass. in
GLIDING the internal organs, vora-
ciously feeds on the oxygen carried
by the blood so that when this
blood gets into the tiny arteries of
fingers and toes and the scalp it is
cooled blood.
So you see that while the circu-
lation of the blood is good, the cir
culation of oxygen is poor.
The hair is fed and nourished,
kept well oiled and luxuriant by
the blood circulating In the scalp.
Under ordinary breathing habits
the demand Of the cheeks and the
ever hungry cells of the brain, take
most all Of tho oxygen they can
get from the blood Hence the
scalp arteries generally are under
fed and badness, brittleness or
thinning are -pt to follow.
Just here is where massage of
the scalp and extremities is of
value. The mechanical pressure
and stretching gives their blood
vessels tone and permits Of freer
flow Of blood. thus offering oppor-
tunities for nourishing the parts.
However, this is merely a tenn
porary makeshift unless along with
this mechanical stimulation there
are applied those breathing methods
and practices which force the blood
to take up extra heating and feed
ing power-which Is always oxygen.

airy inspiration, including the dia-
phragm and the intercostal muscles,
which suspend one rib from that
next above it; and 90 the muscles
Of forced inspiration. including most
of the muscles Of the neck, the
shoulder and the abdomen, which
come into play in taking an extra
deep breath.
Now the lungs rise distance Of
two inches or whereabouts above the
chest into the root of the neck, and
this portion is little expanded ex-
cept in forced breathing. 1t is just
here that consumption Is liable to
make its first appearance. and
though cause and effect are not
quite clear in this matter, It is be-
yond doubt that the deficient ex-
pansion, and consequently sluggish
circulation. play an important role.
Although violent exercise like
football has an indirect influence
In expanding the chest by necessi-
tating deep breathing, other forms
of athletics add mainly to the size
and strength of the muscles on the
chest without increasing its capac-
ity. Probably the only exercise
which attains the latter thoroughly
is forced breathing.
Every one, whether of athletic
build or not, may practise this by
the following three movements, rec
commended by Checkley These
should be carried out night and
