Sour Stomach
Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach In
 Fine Shape In Five Minutes

If your stomach is continually kick ing up disturbance; you feel bloated and distressed; if you belch gas and sour food into the mouth. then you need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets give in stant relief, of course, but they do more; they drive out the poisonous gases that cause fermentation of food and thoroughly clean, renovate and strengthen the stomach so that it can readily digest food without artificial aid
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are guar anteed to end indigestion, acute or chronic, or money back. This means that nervousness, dizziness and bil- iousness will disappear Druggists everywhere and the Lee & Osgood Go. sell Mi-o-na.

We have had no official state
ment from the government as to
whether the food-saving CAM
paign has been a success. We
may gather an inference, how
ever, from the bill introduced by
Senator Pomerene yesterday to
compel the observation Of wheat
less and meatless days. We may
all agree that American people
as q whole are patriotic and yet
there may be enough OF the I'M
patriotic or selfish ones to defeat
the purpose OF the food law. One
Of the disadvantages of fighting a
long-range war is that the need
of sacrifice is hard to i'm
press. Here in .Missoula, our
life continues about the same, but
we would wake up If the Germans
were at sMifs City moving west
ward. It is. quite probable that
failure to observe the whcatlcss
and meatless days will be found
in the most unexpected places.

WHERE IS THE END?

The coal situation is o puzzle
as well as a most serious menace
to industrial life, to say nothing
lof winning the war. incidentally
lit offers a very wide field for the
imagination in forecasting what
might happen TO large commune
ties, if the conditions in Chicago
were repeated. Because of lack
of coal in that city two of the
great packing houses, working
Overtime on food supplies for our
army, shut down. For like rea-
sons the schools were closed, i'm
portant trains have been discon-
tinucd and even the department
stores We're obliged to close for
a period. All this from one I'M
usual blizzard. If this blizzard
had continued a few days longer
one might easily picture homes
with men, women and children
frozen to death and business at
an absolute standstiII. Fancy how
an invading army could bring a
city to its knees by a brief winter
lsiege in which the coal was cut
loft.
We have said that this is a
puzzle, although it is something
more. We are told by stalls
ticians that The coal mines are
yielding but fifty per cent Of their
power Of production. We know
that the management Of the rail
roads has been so bad that a most
appalling congestion Of freight
has followed and that in hundreds
Of important industrial ccntcrs
east Of the Mississippi industries
have been partially paralyzed by
lack Of coal
Does not this entire situation
reveal the grossest incompetence
somewhere? Here are mines that
are not producing within fifty
per cent of what they should and
a vast network Of railroads that
the managers have been proud to
call the finest in the world,
stricken and helpless. Surely,
there would be a dropping Of Of
fetal heads in European coun-
tries if the government was re-
sponsible for anything like that.
1t will not do to blame the biz
card for a condition Of affairs that
was bad even year ago and has
been growing so much worse for
many weeks that it begins to look
like q disaster.

GOODNIGHT, OLD FRIEND.

We yield sigh as the Yellow
stone Journal passes over the
range. 1t has been a landmark,
because of its identity with
Colonel Sam Gordon, who founded
it 80 years ago, and was it's editor
in nearly all of that period or UNI
til the journal passed into a
marked decline. The colonel was
the Yellowstone journal. In all
these adventurous years, he was
a rare type of the strong, out
spoken western editor, independ-
ent as hog on ice, fearless,
breezy and always interesting.
Probably he was at his best in
former years, when editorial per-
|sonallty was more assertive
force in this state. There is a
long list of office holders in east
ern Montana who owe such hon.
ors and emoluments as they have
enjoyed to the support of the yell
lowstone Journal. Likewise, there
is list of others who We're tossed
in the ash can by word of ad-
vice from the colonel's caustic
|quill. We know the breeds. The
first assays ninety-nine in in
gratitude and the Others swing
hammers in their sleep.
Our association With and liking
for Colonel Gordon reach back
many years, to the stirring days
when editors, who wrote with di-
lutcd milk, instead of red ink,
were curioS and did not last long.
: AS we watch the Yellowstone
Journal slip into the well-filled
graveyard of Montana journal
ism, we extend greetings and
good wishes to Sam Gordon. We
have heard with regret that his
health is not Of the best. We hope
that he may return to his old
lvigor and call for another stack
There have been few editors with
his strong qualities or possessed
of his human, kindly and gener,
ous nature.

The vagneness Of knowledge OF
the conditions in Germany since
the presidents last message
makes it difficult to comment on
the possible character of the
forthcoming reply Of the German
government to a statement of the
English, French and American
aims in this war. Evidently, there
IS a mighty struggle between the
military party and the Germans
who are tired OF The war and
would gladly arrange an honor
able peace. 1t. does not require
much logic to understand that the
German chances, Of winning The
war will be vastly less as soon as
America is once in action. Conse-
quently this would seem to be the
psychological time for Germany
to secure a most favorable peace.

Talk Of the Tour,
Youngsters Gather
Wood to Beat n. C. L.

| He was black and about five years
old. She was white and four. They

must have been during the Spanish
American war, since now it served but
poorly the lowly function of wood cart
In front of the city hall they spied
big piles of chips, left by the carpen-

"Gosh," said the black boy with a
wide, white grin, "Dassa bigges' pile

The little girl bobbed her head, and
the two set about gathering chips and
slowing them in a gunnysack. When
they had cleaned up every splinter the
girl climbed into the perambnlator. the
black boy handed her the sack Of chips,
and they were off.
The boy wheeled the cart at the cor
ner Of the city hall and it went plung-
ing desperately down steep bank to-
ward the pile of wood on which sober

Evidently she had learned to trust her
chauffeur.

roundup Of chips.
