many thousands of citizens have been

The site of Gary, named after tho

LOOKING BETTER.

There are cheering signs that
the big steam roller OF the Huns
has been pulled up. Within a few
DAYS the British have been rein
forced heavily by the French. The
offensive has been arrested. for a
time at least. and perhaps Tor all
time, because it is fair to assume
that the hardest efforts must
have been made after a month OF
such fighting as the world mas
never known or dreamed OF.
Ii this is really the end Of the
rush, and that we will know
very soon, then We may rea-
sonably say that the Germans
have been defeated in this battle,
which all agree is the battle that
fixes the result of the war.
We know that the Germans
have been masscd to the full eN-
tent OF their resources for tins
struggle. and that if they failed
they must steadily grow weaker,
while The allies, with the aid of
the United States, must steadily
grow stronger. That is the hope
full view to take and we think it
70 be based upon the facts Of the
situation at this hour.

ONE MANS JOB.

1t is with regret that we record
the collapse of an institution that
might have been made useful, but
for the bullet-headed perversity
Of one man. We refer to the Mis-
soula Public Forum, and to the
director, Mr. Payne Templcton.
Mr.. Templcton was sufficiently
warned of the effect of bringing
Robert Burns Martin to the For
um for the discussion of the Non
Partisan league. We need not re-
hearse again all the reasons for
forecasting that result which
everybody but Mr. Tcmplcton
|could forscc. He, however, could
not resist his radical desire of
|putting over one real radical fea-
turc that was close to his heart.
He forgot. or did not know that
the country is ut war, and that
war sentiment in war times con-
trolls pretty nearly everything in
the community. Templcton chose
to butt his head against a stone
wall with the result that the For
um has aroused the fierce en-
nifty of the very people it sought
to interest.
We are informed that the di-
rcctor> Of the Forum have de-
lcidcd to disregard the request of
the Missoula County Defense So
ciety and to hold a meeting next
Sunday with speaker, other
Than Mr.. Martin. The society is
thus faced with the task of fin
fishing something that it has
lstarted We do not assume to
forecast the end of a situation
that is obviously difficult and
franght with unpleasant posi-
Utilities, but no matter what. may

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food, distress
after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief IN large chunks of artificial di-
gestors, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and inturing
beyond repair every nerve in his BODY,
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scriptlon that will build up his ~stom-
ach put strength, energy and elas-
ticity into 1t, and make 1t sturdy
enough to digest hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The best prescription for Indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by II. c. Kennedy and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion, or
money back,
This prescription is named M-o-na,
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes, for only a few cents. Re-
member the name. Ml-o-na stomach

MADE HAPPY
Satisfied That "Neutrone Prescrip-
ton 90" Is All That's Claimed

This reliable prescription has, since
being placed in the hands of the
public, done more to remove Rheu-
matte Troubles than all previous
remedies combined.
1t is different from other remedies
in that it does not upset the stomach
or impair the heart, a condition
heretofore thought impossible.
1t is not a cure-all, but a remedy
to be taken internally, treating
rheumatism as a constitutional dis
ease by it's general action through
the blood.
The treatment is a most complete
combination of rheumatic-reducing
elements and is dependable to pro-
duce results from the fact it aims at
rheumatism as a disease of the
