INSTANCES

Weak nerves quickly reduce the
strong and robust TO an extremely pitt
able condition and rob men and women
of all the joys of life. Slowly and
steatthily the health is destoyed, and
poor sufferer only realizing the magni-
tude of his ailment when faulty men,
DRY, sleeplessness. indecision, lack of
energy or other unmistakablc symp-
toms indicate weak nerves. Then 1t is
serious and dangerous mistake to re-
sort TO the use of so-called tonics,
alcoholic or drug stimulants. Weak
and exhausted nerves need food and
stimulants that lash
them into temporary activity. The
food and nourishmemnt advised by
present day physicians is just one s.
grain tablet of pure bitro- phosphate
taken during or Immediately after each
meal. Simple advice, but its soundness
has been proved over and over again.
Moreover the remedy is within the
reach of every sufferer from weak

Action Of Judge Bourquin
Opens Way for Farming
in Bitter Root.
MUST ASSURE MONEY
Sufficient Funds to Clean
and Maintain Ditch Must
Be in Sight.

Conditional permission ITO lease, for
Bitter Root Valley Irrigation company
has been granted by Federal Judge
George NJ. Bourquin to F. c. Webster
of Missoula, receiver. The order, is
sued by the court provides that before
any leases can be made the receiver
must have secured assurances salts
factory to him that there will be in his
hands sufficient money to clean out
and maintain the irrigation system.
Order May Be First Step.
This order does not resolve the tam
gled affairs of the bankrupt irrigation
company, but it does leave way for
a first actual step in reviving the ex-
tensive agricultural projects under the
ditch. Many leases will be possible, it
is believed, if funds for repairing and
maintaining the ditch are available.
Whether or not the needed money
can be obtained by the receiver may
depend upon the action of Judge Bour-
quin in respect to the 'land purchase
and development contracts" held by
the company. A dispute exists as to

OF the company. held by the First

Future Depends on Court Action.
This and other pending legal ques-
tons make impossible at the present
time the success of any reorganization
plan. The future of the Il. r. V. l.
holdings in the valley, including the
extensive irrigation system, depends
upon the action of the court in respect
to these several pending issues. If,
however, the receiver finds himself
able to repair and maintain the ditch
this season. leases will be permitted
and farming extended in the pcrtioIi of
the valley affected
No new development will be possi-
BILE under the present order. however
The court has ruled that no land be-
low the ditch. which has not hitherto

the order. Moreover, all leases must
be approved by the First Trust and

a judicial sale the property is to be
taken subject to leases made by the

cnt order

seek TO RESTRAIN
SCHOOL TRUSTEES
Petition Asks That Board Be
Enjoined From Ousting
Williams.
SAYS ACTION ILLEGAL
Present Superintendent,
Ayers, Not Let Out Ac-
cording to Law.
SAYS ACTION ILLEGAL

A petition asking the district court
to enjoin the trustees of the Missoula
school district from employing anyone
but j. l.. Williams as superintendent
of schools during the next three years
was filed yesterday by NJ. r. Harden
burgh and others. The petition alleges
that the trustees failed to give LEGAL
notice to Superintendent Williams that
he was not to be re-employed. Under
the Montana law the superintendent. il
not so notified. is considered elected
for "A term of three years
New Development Of Old Fight.
The injunction action il Il new de-
veopment in a school fight which has
continued, sometimes under cover and
sometimes in the open, for several
years. The employment of Super
intendent Williams was implicitly, an
issue in the last school election. At
that time the anti Williams candi-
dates won. They carried out their
election pledges last month by refusing
to re-elect the superintendent.
Williams Not Involved.
The action of the board aroused
some of Mr.. Williams friends and
shortly after the trustees decision 1t
was announced that the matter would
be carried into the courts. At that
time the superintendent sought to dis
courage his friends. He said that he
felt it would be unwise for them to
carry the fight farther.
II don't care to discuss the matter"
he said last night, when informed that
an injunction had been sought. II
have had nothing whatever to do with
the case"
Board Omitted Formalities.
Failure to observe legal formalitics
and the absence of two trustees from
the special meeting at which the board
voted to notify Williams that he
would not be re- employed, invalidated
the action of the trustees, the petition
declares. Notices, it is said. should
have been signed by the chairman of
the board and served personally on the
several trustees. Instead they were
signed by l.. L. Harris, clerk OF the
board, and delivered by mail More
over, the petition says. the law pro-
vides that all members of the board
must be present ut a special meeting

He's willing to enjoy all the red and white peppermint sticks he's allowed, as frequently as possible.
 Tommy Christmas's name is really Thomas Riggs TIL But he came on Christmas day, and Tommy Christ mas he is. Lisette was lonesome yesterday and wanted to remain lone some She didn't care for the hotel room She asked to go downstairs by herself, where she could live and be lonesome as she chose. It turned out, however, that she was more sleepy than lonesome, for when she was tucked up in bed for a nap she didn't stop to think about the pleas ures of linesomeness.
