Warning as to Our

(By Lee Herbert Smith, NJ. d.

(By Lee Herbert Smith, NJ. d.
In urging upon the country the OBJ
servance of last Dec. at Medical Ex-
animation Day." the Life Extension In
stitute issued a circular in which it
called attention to the reasons why
every man should take stock OF his
physical condition just as frequently as
he takes stock of his financial condi-
ton. thereby learning 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 lstless, 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 con-
tains 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 glycerine and made into
liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was
first put out by DR.. Pierce in ready
| to-use form and since then has been
sold by million bottles as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. If druggist
does not keep this in tablet form, send
S1.00 to Doctor Y. NJ. Pierce Buffalo,

Kidney disease carries away a large

UNIVERSITY ALUMNI
MAY SECURE STRAPS

The commission of second lieutenant
in the United States marine corps is
open to any male graduate of the State
University who can pass certain men,
tai and physical tests to be given July
10, 1917. The great need for men, es-
pecially officers. in the corps is given
as the reason for the call in an an
nouncement recently received at the
university. The applicant need not
have any military experience and the
fact that he is a graduate of the uni
versity will exempt him from many of
guages. The examinations will be
held at Helena, Miles City and Glas-
gov, the announcement states.

OLD MAN MISSING:
FRIENDS WORRIED

John Wise, an old man of about IS
years of age, who lives near Spring
gulch in the Rattlesnake valley. is
causing no little worry on the part of
his friends by his continued absence.
He disappeared March and has not
been heard of since. 1t is feared that
he is either lost or has met with an ac-
cident.
John Wise is short and rather heavy
set. His hair is gray and heavy. He
has gray mustache. He was slight
~ lame and used cane. 1t is
thought that he did not have the cane,
however.
1t is possible that Wise returned to
his cabin early Sunday morning, but n
neighbor says that he does not think
that he is there now.

we stayed all night, and thus ends the
story of my first experience on duty at
the front.

My second trip was three days later,

experiences, one or two incidents were
decidedly new and worth recording.

comes flying low over the French
lines to empty his machine gun into
the French positions, seldom doing
more harm than wounding a man now
and then, but very annoying, and al
ways escaping untouched, though
perfect rainstorm of rifle and machine
gun bullets surround him, and also
heavy curtain of shrapnel shells. His
unaccountable escape each time from
such heavy fire at such very close
range has prompted the French to give
him this name which suggests its
own meaning.
We were at A. and had Just fin
ished our supper when Phantomus APP
peared on schedule time, flying low
enough for the crosses on his planes
to be seen, and popping away with his
little old machine gun. Immediately

pened to be smoking one ana the We
hicle coming toward us. Wagons a
little ahead and going in our direc-
ton were indicated only by the oc-
casional sparks from a horses hOof
striking against a stone in the road,
because nothing could be seen and
nothing heard above the noise of our
own engine until we were close upon
it, Added to this we were not allow
ed to use a horn but could only
whistle, so with these difficulties, and
the extra care of driving with Rodg on
the front fender, you can imagine
somewhat my hardship in driving. AT
one crossroad where we met whole
battery coming back, failed to locate
one wagon at all, in spite of Rodg's
loud cries of direction and nearly
scraped him off his perch. This was
the nearest we came to having any
casualty to report.

however, while we were crossing that
exposed portion of the road, because

there was little comfort to be had in
such a situation.
But the most intense moment came
when we reached A. and we're held
up at the cross road not more than
so yards from the poste. by a double
line of wagons going up and coming
down. German shells were passing
directly overhead, added to which was

sOlemn-faced, making it seem not at
all like the tremendous circus parade

the whole thing transported in peace

"Driye Like HELP

car at A. which had just come down
and passed with its load OF battered
humanity. "Squink," the driver, pass
ing on the word to us to drive like
hell because they are Smelling the
road"
This was not too pleasant a thought
with the road already crowded and
traffic slow. Besides, in the after
noon, on the way back from the hos
pital, our car had developed carbu-
rotor trouble, or had water on the
lungs, we couldn't discover which. SO
we looked for a stormy passage, and
we were not disappointed. Hardly had
we passed a small section of wagons
ahead of us, when the old engine gave
cough and died on our hands.
Having located the difficulty, Rodg
turned the wheel over to me, climbed
out on the front fender, and raising
the hood lay there printing the carbu-
rotor, feeding it gasoline every time
the motor turned over in starting. And
so we rode all the way to A and

VIAL SUPPORT WILSON.

There will be no rupture between
President Wilson and Congress. The
House has already clothed him with
full authority to use the army and
naval forces to the best advantage In
case OF war with Germany. The
Senate will protest and will want the
president to put down in black and
white what he proposes to do in case
German submarines blow up a few
more American ships, but the presi-
dent will not commit himself and the
Senate does not want to assume the
responsibility of any blunders that
might take place during the adjourn
ment OF Congress and will consequent
ly give the president the powers that
he asks.

LAKE LEVELS.

Chicago's drainage system has been
put in jeopardy by the claim that the
drainage canal is reducing the level
OF the lake Not only has the war de-
partment limited the amount of water
to be taken from Lake Michigan to
quantities insufficient to insure Chi
Cages health, but there has been a
threat that the whole drainage sys
tenn would be closed up-~aIl on the
ground that the canal damages navi-
cation.
United States government reports
now show that there Is no truth in
these claims. lakes Michigan and
Huron reads tho government report,
are .0S lower than last month, 90
feet higher than a year ago, and ga
feet above the average stage of Janu-
airy Of the last ten years.
All Of this seems to show that varia-
tloh IN lake level is in no way con
nected with Chicago's drainage canal,
but is due to climatic conditions. dis
trlbution of rainfall, and other natural
conditions.
The fact that Lake Michigan Ii sew.
enteen inches higher than the low
stage OF January lS9G--which was
before the drainage canal was opened
seems conclusive evidence that oul
drainage system has had nothing It
do with the low water which has ex
listed during recent years.
