Glass of hot water each morn
Inc helps US look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous and
Tivaeious-a good clear skin; nat

from illness are assured only by eiean,
healthy bleod. If only every woman
and likewise every man could realize
the wonders of the morning inside

take place.

anaemic-looking men, women and girls

An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, glass
of real hot water with a teaspoonful

and poisons before putting more food

Those subject to sick headche, bill

colds; and particularly those who have
plhd, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which will
cost but a trifle but is sufficient to
demonstrate the quick and remarkable
change in both health and appearance
awaiting those who practice internal
sanitation.

"These are the finest crops I've
veen in the country"
The speaker was one of group
on the observation platform Of a
Canadian Pacific train that had just
passed through the little town of
Brooks in Alberta. His words were
noted with interest by his compan-
ions; his opinion was worth while for
his work entails much travelling and
he has his finger on the pulse OF
trade. Good crops mean full purses
for the farmers, big business for the
small town merchants, big orders for
wholesalers, full time for factories
and, eventually, national prosperity.
"To what do you attribute this
excellence? asked business man
bound for a months recuperation at
Banff in the Canadian Rockies.
"To irrigation!" was the prompt,
emphatic response.
dWhat about the dry farming
theory that has had SO much ex-
ploitation?" queried a Dutch planter
from Sumatra.
"Dry farming is all right in nor
nal times" came the answer. 1--WE
are, however, living in abnormal
times. The farm lands Of America
are called upon to produce their
limit yields in order that the spectre
of starvation shall not materialize
into reality. To insure big crops
there must be plenty of moisture. II
rainfall is insufficient, water must be
produced otherwise. It's another
case of 'Mahomet and the Mountain.
The land cannot 20 to the water;
water must be brought to the land.
Result, irrigation.
"Does the result justify the ex-
pense?" asked the business man.
at certainly does," replied the
Irrigation Enthusiast. "Why, look
here, take this section through
which we are passing, it is sparsely
settled, yet it is estimated that 3
quarter million bushels Of wheat will
be harvested from this irrigated dis

ordinary year; it has been an excep-

non-irrigated lands hereabouts are in
many cases total failures. Here, I'll
give you concrete instance. Powell,

fall, bought land, broke 200 acres
and put in wheat. Some of this
acreage was irrigated In the fall and
twice in the spring and summer, re-

INVESTIGATE r S

Do not always be too ready to swal-
low every insinuation you hear against
this or that mans loyalty. There are
a number of people who are mar
row enough and small enough to en-
deavor to injure the reputation or
business of worthy citizens by trying
to create the impression that they are
disloyal. When rumors of disloyalty
come to your ears, investigate first and
if you find that there is foundation
for the rumor, report at once to the
Valley County Council of Defense.
This body of men have means at hand
to take care of disloyalists. On the
other hand, don't wait until it is too
late to report known acts Of disloyal-
ty. The men who earnestly processes
undying loyalty to the nation and
state and at the same time peddles
propaganda injuring industries and
organizations vital to its welfare is
worse than a traitor. A careful weed
ing out of this class of hypocrite is
bound to result in great good.

their attention is called to the bar
barities which the Hun has perpet-
rated against helpless non-combat.:
ants, that they do not believe. In
shocked tones, when told of what has
been done by the kaiser's armies in
Belgium and northern France, they
say, "Oh, l can't believe it,"
No proof, however definite and con-
elusive seems to persuade these per-
sons, who appear to prefer to take the
attitude of a doubling Thomas, than
to be open to conviction. Now there
has come to Montana Will H. Hays,
the newly chosen chairman of the
republican national committee. Mr..
Hays, in a talk at Helena, related one
or two incidents of German methods.
He was told by a British army Off
Ger of an incident which had occurred
while the latter was in northern
France.
"He told me-" said Mr.. Hays,
"that he had stopped at the home
of a French peasant woman one day
to get a drink of water. BY looking
at the woman, he said l could tell that
she had been in trouble, and the
officer said:
MADAM, the Huns have been
here" she said: eyes. Do you
see that spot on the floor?" The
captain said: ~ stepped back and
saw the spot on the floor, which l
knew was blood, which the poor
woma could not scour from the
pine board of her floor with her
brush on her knees. / said: Yes,
madam, it is blood She said:
eyes, that is where a German sol
der stamped the head off my IL

That was one of the things Mr.
Hays told. Here is another:

her arms folded. Opposite in the
Pullman a friend saw her get off
at a little town and heard much
cheering. A man got IN the train
and took the seat where the girl
had been and my friend said to
him, "Why the acclaim at the sta
ton? What is the OCCASION"
This man said: "Did you see the
young woman who sat in here?"
"Yes," he said. "Red Cross Nurse

Editor Roy Gordon Of the Nashua
Independent suggests that each of
the boys leaving in the different draft
contingents be presented with a "com-
fort kit" and a few dollars in cash,
in Ease he needs it. Following out
this suggestion the Independent
says in many places the following
plan has been carried out entirely
satisfactorily. Each man in the town
and country is asked to contribute
S1.OO for such a fund and the money
thus obtained is used for the above
purchase. Nashua wants, above all
things, for the boys to feel that we
are heart and soul with them, as they
depart to give their lives to this great

If l really wanted to accomplish such
disloyal purpose as to keep men out
of the war industries I should spend
as much money as l could for non
essentials, and l should advise every
one else to do the same. l should pub
lish articles advising against too much
economy, and should do all in my
power to get people to spend their
money for non-essentials. should ad-
vertse non-essentials in as alluring
ferns as l could invent. Every dollar
which is spent for these things will
hire some one to make and sell them,
and the more these things are bought
the more man-power will be hired to
stay in the non-essential and out of
the essential industries.
! am not believer in mob violence,
but if there is any one who deserves
to be mobbed it is not these poor sim
pletons who make ineffective speeches
against working in the war industries,
though they are bad enough; it is
rather those respectable people, some
of them in positions Of high authority,
who still persist in advising people
that they must continue spending their
money freely for things which they do
not need in order that business may
not be disarranged.
