A number of leaflets have been is- sued by the United States food ad- ministration, all very valuable and timely, and the one bearing tho above caption is given in full:
 Give your children their chance. They ought to have it and you want to give it to them. They must have the right food.
 Think how fast the child grows. The new muscles and bones and all the other parts of the body are made from the food which the child eats
 Give him clean, wholesome, simply cooked food plenty of milk. cereals. vegetables. fruit, an egg or some meat occasionally.
 Wrong food-too little, too much. or wrong kinds-hurts the child's chance of being the strong, healthy boy or girl you want.
 Right food-may mean strong bodies. rosy cheeks, good brains, DrlSut eyes,
 Here's good food for a real young ster's day:
 A good breakfast to start him off milk, corn-meal mush, apple sauce. It makes him fit for school and fit for play.
 Milk and plenty of it. makes him grow-a quart each day if you can. Put it on his cereal and in his cup. make 1t into soups. buildings. or cus- tards for him. Try the recipes on the last page and watch him smile.
 Whole milk is best, of course, but skim milk is good if there Is lit- tie butter in his meals. Cottage cheese is good, too.
 No coffee or tea-not even a taste. Leave them for the grownups. Milk. cocoa, not too strong, and fruit juices are the drinks for children, and plenty of water always.
 Fruit they enjoy, and they need it, too-baked apples. apple sauce. thoroughly ripe bananas. prunes, or anges, etc. Give them vegetables, fresh or canned. Plenty of fruits and vegetables tend to prevent con. stipation. Use proper food and do not depend upon laxatives. The youngster cant be well unless the bowels move regularly. Don't let him hurry off in the morning with out attending to this duty.
 Other foods a child needs: Whole wheat bread, not too fresh. corn bread, well-cooked oatmeal, corn meal, rice. They help make strong boys and girls. Some fats. butter or margarine or meat fats on his bread or in gravies. An egg, per haps, particularly if he doesn't get his full quart of milk, or he can have a little meat or fish, but he

lMPEACH JUDGE
 FOR TREASON IN
 M0NTANASTATE

HELENA, Mont, March 20.-The impeachment of Judge Charles L. Crum for alleged high crimes and misdemeanor and malfeasance in of- flee grew out of the trial of a work man named Yes Hall, charged with violation of the espionage act in that he uttered reasonable sentiments. Hall was dismissed upon a direct verdict declaring the espionage act had not been violated because his language, while reasonable, did not tend to incite mutiny or rebellion.
 At this trial Judge Crum appeared as character witness for the de- fense. Shortly after Hall was dis missed Crum met Falkner Haynes, county attorney of Rosebud county, and one of the prosecuting attorneys in the Hall case.
 Haynes accused Crum of pro-Ger- man sentiments and high words were passed. The men separated but feel ing ran so high that there were several encounters about Helena that night among partisans of the two men. Judge Crum placed himself under the protection of the United States deputy marshal.
 Meanwhile the Committee of One Hundred" an organization composed of citizens of Rosebud county, called and asked him to resign. He reserv- ed his decision. The illness of his 19 year old son took him to Miles City, where he remained throughout the preliminary proceedings to the impeachment in the house, which be- gan February 20.
 The house had been sitting in an extra session called to consider prob lens. A resolution for an inquiry into the Crum case was put forward, after receipt of a petition from twen' ty citizens of Rosebud county ask. ed Crum's impeachment, and sub. mitting affidavits that he had been guilty of disloyal utterances. The house immediately sent for these. and other witnesses, who were summoned by the sergeant at arms. After three days procedure, the i'm peachment resolution passed by an unanimous vote. Testimony was of- fered to show that Judge Crum had repeatedly assailed the motives of America in entering the war; had declared that the struggle was pre-. cipltated by Wall Street, and had made personal criticisms against high officials. It was also testified that Judge Crum had sent his elder son to South America to escape ser vice in the army; and had repeatedly attempted to discourage enlistments. Judge Crum, being i'll, was not pres ent on the closing day of the hearing in the house; it was announced that had been prostrated and taken to a hospital in Miles City, by the side of his son.
 On Monday. March 25, the house formally passed the articles of i'm. peachment and sent them to the senate.
 Judge Crum, whose home is in Forsythe, was judge of the Fifteenth judicial district of the state courts and was elected to the bench in 1915, in the fall elections, after having served short appointive term. He is Republican.

TOO PEACEFUL DREAMS WHICH
 THE C0MINC OF THE MONSTER
 DISTILLED WITH FEARFUL HAVOC

Happy children romped noisily in the village street. Busy housewives went singing about their daily tasks, while old men gathered in the village square beneath the whispering trees for their morning gossip. An air of peace and contentment hovered over the quiet little valley until every liv- ing thing seemed bubbling over with life and the joy of living. At the sound of a cane and shuffling foot. steps on the pavement the old men turned in eager expectancy to see a venerable figure approaching. The morning breezes tossed his silvery locks from side to side and playfully twisted his long white beard.
 "Ah," cried one, "'tis Old Charles come down from his mountain home" "Ha, ha," another cried, we'll have more news of the sleeping monster"
 Come, brother Charles. What know ye of the sleeping monster in the mountains? Out with it. Does he stir yet? Do ye still hear him at his forge making ready to come into our peaceful valley?"
 Slowly the old man came into their midst and, removing his tattered hat, wiped the precipitation from his wrin. kled brow.
 Yes, brothers" he spoke; "I have come again and 'tis sad news I bring. For many days the monster has been stirring. His children come from the four winds and with them they bring loads of grain and food. The time has almost come when he shall rush down into our happy lit- tie valley to destroy and kill. Once more I implore ye. my beloved breth. ern. prepare. for soon ye shall have need of great strength to keep the monster and his children from des. troying our peaceful homes."
 A shout of merriment burst forth from the crowd of old gray heads, Some tapped their foreheads signi. ficantly and others only turned away, smiling sadly. The noisy children ceased their play and stood with mouths agape, staring at the old man from the mountains. For years and years Old Charles had come regularly down with his warnings of the sleeping monster in the noun. tains. With his first eomings th' people were greatly alarmed and went hurriedly about making preparations to slay the monster. Time rolled peacefully on. and gradually the warn. ings of Old Charles were forgotten. Each year he came, however. and al- ways with his words of warning The old men and the children eager ly looked to his coming. but all re- fused to be alarmed at the news he brought them. Old Charles was re.

 His long tongue hung over his savage teeth and made him appear all the more hideous. With great grunts and snarls he made his way to the village square and seated himself sprawlingly on the grass.
 Bring me wine," he shouted. Have ye beasts no courtesy for your powerful guest?" Wine was brought and food and money and gifts by all the people. for they wished to thus appease the mon- ster's wrath. Bring me your wo- men and children" he cried. after he had eaten; q will show you ig- norant fools what love I have for women and crying babes" Children were brought and women. The mon, ster seized one small babe in his powerful ugly hands and wrenched its head from its shoulders. then threw 1t viciously into the crowd of horrorstricken villagers.
 "Our treaties. our treaties," the people cried. Have ye forgotten our treaties?" Did ye not promise that you were our friend"
 Hear the fools!" the monster shrieked. Their treaties! their treaties! Did ye not always know that your treaties were worthless with me except in time of peace Did ye not know that I must have land for my growing children? What regard have I for such beasts as ye poor ignorant humans? I am come to pluck out the weeds from the face of the earth so that my children may prosper and be happy in the spread of true civilization. On children, on!" he cried. Destroy these fools and we will be on our way. Our work Is only begun"
 Having thus spoken, the monster arose to his feet and, with one broad stroke, crushed the women and children about him. Those re maining fled panic.stricken, but to no avail, for the monsters children were swift and we'll trained and they easily caught all that fled. Down the streets he went killing and des troying all in his path. Occasionally he paused in his murderous work and seizing some struggling babe, crushed 1t between his powerful jaws, drip ping with blood. "Ye wretched fools, he cried; "I'l teach ye how the mon ster makes war. I'll teach ye what real civilization isl"
 All day he plundered and destroy ed and murdered. Late in the after noon, together with his children, he made his way out from the town on down the valley on his mission of devastation.
 Old Charles, having heard the great commotion in the valley and having seen the smoke and flames, made his way cautiously down to the viii lage at nightfall. Instead of the happy prosperous country folk of the day before he now found ruined houses and burning bodies. The dead and dying were so thick that he stumbled over them as he went seek ing thru the ruins for any that he might save. "Oh, if they had only needed my warnings; oh. if l had only done more to make them under stand" he moaned, as he went about his helpless task. Morning came and with the first break of day Old Charles started on his return to his home in the mountains. And this,' he said. "is civilization! Civilization! God, cannot understand! I cannot understand"

RUSSIANS BUILD
 BlCPAPER ARMY

MOSCOW. April 4.-"Russia will soon have an army of 1.5o0.OOO." as- serted Assistant Secretary of War Podvoisky today in an interview given newspaper correspondents from the allied countries. He de- clares that the Russian soviet gov srnment is forming an army, which will not be inferior in equipment or strength to the German or Japanese military forces.
 The organization of the army of a million and a half is but the first step in arming the nation. according to Podvoisky. All the efficient off cers of the old regime have been ordered to report for duty by spe- cial decree, and these will be charg- ed with the task of reforming the Russian armies.

In Finland. three and one-half mil lion people. caught in between Russia and Sweden. face a failure of their cereal harvest. They are now on a ration of 150 grams of war bread day. That is less than a quarter of a loaf. A large part of that is made up of bark and beech buds. It looks now as if large number of them would necessarily starve.
