PROVEN SWAMP ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, so
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is a splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al

by those who use it.

be in need of it. Better get bottle from

WAR PROPHECY COMES TRUE
Russian Bankers Prediction Seven
Years Ago Provided for Famine
and the Bankruptcy Of Nations

Only seven years ago NJ. Bloch, the
great Russian banker, wrote: '@That
is the future Of war-not fighting, but
famine; not the Staying of men, but
the bankruptcy of nations, and the
breaking up of the whole social or
ganization of the nations"
The future of war, as written about
by NJ Bloch seven years ago, Is the
present Of war today, observes Yer
non Kellogg in the Atlantic. Not. that
lighting and the Staying of men are
lessened. Only the Napofeonic and
the Thirty Years wars approach to-
days war in the terrible losses of hu-
The human life of any one or several
of the nations engaged may be the de-
Gliding factor in the wars conclusion.
But on the whole, and as matters stand
today, that part OF M. Bloch's prophecy
referring to the predominant influence
Is thoroughly borne out by the facts.
Despite the fearful and fatal strug-
Cling of an incredible number of men,
consuming inconceivable quantities of
munitions, and using such amazing
methods of fighting as are beyond even
the fantastic imaginings of the ro-
mancers Of decade ago, the national
and international phases of the food
and general economic problem are the
features Of the war sit
uation today.

SENATE PASSES ovERMAN BILL.
Amendments to Limit Presidents
Authority Are Rejected.

Washington. Rejecting all amend
ments designed TO limit the presidents
authority, the senate late Monday
passed the Overman bill with its gen.
erai grant of power for the executive
to coordinate and reorganize govern
ment departments and other agencies
during the war.
As passed by the senate, the meas
ure authorizes the president TO make
such redistribution of functions among
executive agencies as he may deem
necessary" and to utilize, coordinate
and consolidate any executive or adj
ministrative commissions, bureaus,
agencies, offices or officers now ex-
listing by law, to transfer any duties
or powers from one existing depart
ment or to transfer the personnel
thereof" These powers, however,
"shall be exercised only in matters re-
lating to the conduct of the present
war;"
The measure also provides that if
the president believes any agency
should be abolished he shall report
to congress, and congress will arrange
for transfer of appropriations in any
reorganization, limiting their expendi-
ture TO the purposes specified by con-
gress.

The Island of Elba, celebrated as

attention as the location of valuable

In view of the scarcity of iron mines

HELENA GROCERY FIRM
VIOLATES FOOD RULES
Large Quantity of Wheat Flour With
out Specified Quantity of Substi-
tutes Sold to Chinaman.

Bozeman.-The Brakeman Grocery
company of Helena has been found
guilty by the food administration of
violating the federal food regulations
regarding the sale of wheat flour.
State Food Administrator Atkinson,
in message from Helena, says that
the company has agreed to pay the
costs of the case, to return the value
of the excessive amount of flour sold
and to see that the original purchaser
was provided with wheat flour substi-
tutes. and promises TO live up to the
law in the future.
These are the only conditions under
which the food administration would
agree to the firm continuing in bust
ness. according to evidence introduced
by the food administration. The COM
pany sold 1000 pounds of wheat flour
to the o. X. restaurant, Chinese
concern, but failed to sell the proper
amount of substitutes. Both the
Brakeman company and the Chinaman
admitted the violation of the regula-
lions. The purchaser was allowed TO
keep 300 pounds by taking 100 pounds
of substitutes. After this, Mr.. Atkin-
son says, no leniency will be shown
violators but they will be closed up
and put out of business permanently.

TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETrER

For 4 good many yeas The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting :
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toastink;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.-Adv.

That Woke Her.

The visitor had dropped in ''just for
minute" but she remained about
three hours after the minute was up.
Little Freddie had formed several
plans, the execution of which must be
postponed till the departure of his
mothers guest, so he sat quietly think
ing things.
Dear little man ~ gushed the visi-
tor. "And what is he thinking about
so deeply?"
81 was wondering if it wasn't time
for you to be going" said Freddie.
'Hush,' said his mother. Then,
turning to her guest: You mustn't be
offended Mrs. Smith. Children will go
hurting out the truth without think
ing, but they don't mean anything by
It."
Then Mrs. Smith recollected that she
had only three minutes in which TO
catch the last car home.
