two weeks the Germans battered
away at the forts OF Liege. What
the effect was on the war no one

The Germans, as we know, came
within twenty miles of Paris. 1t is
"a distance which YOU cover in thirty
minuets as you amble along at the
rate at which motors are wont to
run in France. If the Germans
had started two weeks earlier than
they did it seems incredible that
they should not have reached Paris 4;
or if they had not shifted and made

that they Sould not have reached
Paris, even as late as they were.

fought ON the west and not the east

The credit for this salvation must
be placed somewhere and history

The Belgian salient on the Fland-

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAlSY-TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out polsons,

TO see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out,
Just try inside-jathing every morn
ing for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it as a harmless means of washing
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigest-
ible waste, sour bile and toxins !;
thus cleansing. SWeetcning and puri-
lying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the
stomach. The action of hot water
and limestone phosphate or an
empty stomach is wonderfully invig-
Grating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases and acidity and
gives one 4 splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to dem
onstrate that just as soap and hot
water cleanseS, swectens and fresh
ems the skin, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the blood
and internal organs. Those who are
subject to constipation, bilious at
tacks, acid stomach, rheumatic
twinges, also those whose skin i.
sallow and complexion pallid, are
assured that one week of insid,
bathing will have them both looking
and feeling better in every way.

PREPARE REFERENCE
LIST OF COAL USERS
This Is Final Warning to Domestic
Consumers to Get Their Win
ter Coal in Now.

Helena.-IndustrieS essential to win.
ming the war are now being placed on
the preference list by the federal fuel
administration for Montana. The sta
tistical division of the United States
fuel administration has sent classifi-
cation cards to all industries of the
state. After the preference list is com
piled it will be the guide for the dis
tribution of coal during the rest Of the
period of the war.
A. w. Galloway, director of bitumi-
nous distribution for the United States
fuel administration, in connection
with this matter, gives coal producers
most emphatic warning. He says:
Z ''You dare not ship a car of coal to
anyone not on that classification"
1t is probable that the preference
list will not be completed for Mon
tana for several weeks. This means
that anyone will be able to get roal,
provided the mines produce it and the
railroads move it. The compilation of
the preference list should act as a fl
nal warning to consumers to get in
their years coal supply at once.
upon assuming charge of the fed
eral fuel administration for Montana"
said M. III. Gerry, Jr., the new state
administrator, Il find that much has
been done to encourage the storage of
coal. 1t is gratifying to note that in
dividual consumers are complying with
the governments suggestions to get
the coal supply out of the way during
the summer months. l also find that
storing coal must continue throughout
the summer if there is to be assurance
of an adequate supply next winter"
Mines in the Bearcreek field are be-
hind with their orders. This is due
partly to the storage orders placed
with dealers and partly to the high
water which interfered with shipments
for the past few weeks.

Aid Farmers.

When a business concern wants to
borrow money it makes a business
statement showing the inventory-or
money invested at the beginning and
end of the year-the money taken in
during the year, the expenses and the
profits. With this statement banker
knows whether or not 1t is safe to
loan money to this company-in other
words, whether the company has a
good chance of securing profitable re-
turns from a further investment in
their business. A company with a
good business, as shown by such q
statement, usually has good credit
and can borrow money cheaply.
There are many farmers In this
country who keep records of what
they have on hand at the beginning
and end of the year and of what they
take in and what they spend. These
men can borrow money more easily
and cheaply than most farmers be-
cause they have the figures to show
the banker.
But before a farmer borrows any
money he should have very clearly in
mind what he wants to use it for,
and be very sure that In the end it
will pay him to borrow.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
DYNAMITING IN BUTTE
No Clues to Identity of Persons Who
Tried to Destroy Home Of
Railroad Superintendent.

Butte.-Police officials have express
ed themselves at loss to explain the
dynamiting of the home of E. III. Bar
rett, assistant superintendent of the
lines of the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad from Mobridge, S. D. to
Avery, Idaho.
A theory is advanced in official cir
cles that someone having had a claim
against the railroad must have been
responsible, as all claims ultimately
come before Superintendent Barrett for
settlement. Mr.. Barrett said, however,
that all claimants as far as he can re-
call seemed to have been satisfied with
the treatment of his road, and that he
has not known enemy.
Two heavy charges Of giant powder
were exploded against the stone wall of
the house, breaking all the windows on
one side of the Barrett home and in
houses directly across the street. No
one was injured.

may be in it. In order TO have the
necessary conclusion the churn should
be only about one-thfrd full. If too
full, the churning r~-iod is prolonged

the churn and prevents conclusion. In
| that case it is usually necessary to re-
move some, of the cream in order to
obtain butter in reasonable time.
Except late in the spring and early
in the summer, when butter has nat
urally high color, a small quantity Of
butter color is usually added In win
ter the quantity required to produce
a shade of yellow like the desirable
June color varies from about 20 to 35
drops per gallon of cream.
The color having been added to the
cream, the churn may be started at a
speed to produce the greatest concus-
sion, which may be determined largely
by the sound. About 60 revolutions
minute is the usual speed for the COM
mon barrel type of churn. After q
few revolutions the churn should be

moved to permit the escape OF gas.
This is repeated two or three times in
the early stages Of churning. At that
period cream produces a very liquid
sound and the glass in the churn is
evenly covered with cream.
When churning is nearly completed
there Is a noticeable difference in the
sound made by the cream, while on
the glass In the churn thick, mushy
mass will appear, which occasionally
breaks away, leaving the glass clear.
At this point the butter granules are
just forming and the cream is thick
and finely granular, like yellow corn
meal mush, with buttermilk separating
slightly from the tiny granules. The
churn should be revolved several
times, then stopped and the butter e1-
amined in order to prevent overchurn-
ing. When the granules are the size
of grains of wheat the churning is
To continue the churning
until the butter is In large masses is
a bad practice, because it Incorporates
quantities of buttermilk which cannot
be washed out The bad effect of too
much buttermilk In the butter has
been discussed already.

stead of $500 members, he got

the club members are to send

more money for Carroll county.
A $25 registered pig is given
each month as prize to the
member whose pig has made
