You cannot Overestimate the i'm

Of impurities. When you realize
that the heart is constantly pump

Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger, for every vital

blood supply to properly perform
its functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis

ACTIVE ARMY
OFFICERS WILL
GET INCREASE
Congress May Pass Measure
Abolishing Discrimination
in Compensation.

Fighting officers of the line will
soon have the same combinations
for quarters which are now grant
ed to staff officers. II the House
takes favorable action.
The Senate passed a bill award
ing line officers allowances for
quarters, heat and light, similar to
the allowances now granted stan
officers on Saturday. The bill is now
pending before the House.
At present a second lieutenant in
Washington receives $l73,66 a
month, while an officer of the same
rank at one of the army camps or
in France receives $141.67. For a
captain the pay in the one case is
$259.74, and in the other 5000. For
higher officers the disparity is
greater.
Senator New. of Indiana, intro
duced the bill equalizing allowances
between the stsa and field serv-
ices into the Senate.
At present, as soon as an officer is
taken away from staff duty in Wash
ington to the fighting line, his pay
is reduced on the theory that he is
furnished with quarters. Field quar-
ters are usually a tent or a cubby hole
in an officers barracks.
While in Washington, a stan Of
ficer is allowed two. three. four. five
or six rooms. according to his rank.
on the theory that he needs those to
take care of his family. When he
! goes on active duty with troops, no
provision whatever Is made for his
family. In the words of Representa-
tive Madden, of Illinois. 'As soon
as an officer is put into the army to
render real service as a soldier, his
| salary is reduced"
! 1t Is expected that the House will
+ take early and favorable action upon
! the bill equalizing the allowances of
the staff and line officers.

REP. LOBECK
FOR USE0F
GREAT FALLS
Says Power Is Available for
Great, Clean Manufac-
turing City.

by using the power at your very
door Washington may be made the
cleanest manufacturing center in the
country"
Representative Lobeck. Of Nebrasks,
made this statement last night at i
meeting Of the Mid-City Citizens As
sociation.
"a city with 5O.OOO," the Represent
atiye declared, would have snatched
the opportunity years ago and made
the town a metropolis overnight
BY harnessing Great Falls the
foundation for a great government
owned public utilities system could
be laid in the most practicable fash
ION believe in municipal operation
Of public utilities, but think that
the ground work and foundation for
government ownership will be laid"
Representative Lobeck came gut
strongly in favor of higher pay for
teachers in the District schools and
for the municipal disposal OF garbage.
He declared that 1t was his personal
opinion that a hog farm would not
thrive on garbage, since to grow hogs
well grain. fodder and even milk was
used by successful Western farmers.
The incineration method was stated
to be the personal choice OF the Rep
resentative.
Following the speech Of Mr.. Lo-
beck, the association adopted a reso-
luton favoring enactment Of the
johnson garbage disposal bill, omit
ting sections pertaining to the estab-

Scientific
Optimism

Some wit defined op-
timism as not caring what
happens just so it doesn't
happen to me"
That kind of optimism
is not possible in the world
any more. Nor is the op-
timism which says peace,
peace when there is no
peace"
The ends Of the world
are too close to each other,
the universal problem is
too complex, all men are
too interdependent.
These very conditions
have made necessary a
great world newspaper
such as The Christian
Science Monitor.
From its own news
bureaus all over the world
to its subscribers in every
corner of the globe it tells
the news of the great con-
hict, exposes the causes
and presents the remedy.
1t has no doubt about
the result.
