uated that the state will neither accep;
final payment for it nor issue deed
is the present status of piece Of land
near Geyser.
The cause OF the states attitude is
the fact that the land lies within
three miles Of an organized townsite,
Montana's constitution providing that
any portion of its real estate so sit
uated cannot be disposed of in parcels
containing more than five acres.
The tract in question was purchased
by J. I. Liberty at sale of land of
state selection five years ago. the price
accepted by the state being $1S per
acre. Some time later Mr.. Liberty sold
the land to E. F. Cobb for $50 per
acre, receiving substantial portion
of his equity in cash. Mr.. Cobb after
holding the land short time, sold
the tract to third party, the figure
being S63 per acre, and the new pur
chaser binding the bargain by paying
over considerable amount of real
money.
A short time ago the last purchaser
notified Mr.. Cobb that he was prepared
to take up the balance of his in
debtedness and asked Mr.. Cobb to, OBJ
tain title from the state. Correspond
ence with the state land office at Hell
ena led TO a difference of opinion reIa-
tive to the amount due the state and
Mr.. Cobb made trip to Helena, the
correct amount to be paid being ar
rived at when he arrived at the capt.
toll He informed the land office Of
ficials that he wanted 10 pay the
amount due the state, but when It
was learned that the tract is situated
within three miles of Geyser the land
office refused to either accept the
money or convey title to the parcel
this regardless of the fact that the
land was regularly sold in body and
that annual payments have been ten
dered by. the purchaser and accepted
by the state for five consecutive years.
Mr.. Cobb states that the position of
the land office leaves three people all
of whom have unquestionably acted
in good faith, in a peculiar situation.
Who will be liable, and in what
in the event the state adheres
to its present position, is matter that
interests them ALL He described the
present status of the land as involving
one magnificent mixup. Mr.. Cobb
states that the clause in the states
which brought about the
present confusion was discovered by
Attorney General S. G.. Ford
Such prospects as there may be of
the state to accept its money
and convey title is dependent. Mr.
Cobb is informed, on what is necessary

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DR.. LEE Fl. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.

when the patient is careful, and ii we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three C's-a clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of a
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi
sons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in.
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
