ways insist on his writing some sort
of a prescription for you?
Do you Invariably rush to the drug store
or the medicine closet for some self-prescribed
remedy if you feel the least indisposed?
Have you, in fact passion for sampling
every new nostrum put on the market. in the
blind hope that it may be of unexpected
benefit?
If such is your habit can assure you that
you are not only spending a good deal of
money foolishly, but are running real risks
as regards your health.
The best doctors nowadays are chary in
prescribing medicines for their patients.
They know that there are few diseases for
which medical science possesses medicine that
may truly be called sure cures.
They know that many medicines while
helpful in some respects may be injurious in
others.
Also they know that medicines ordinarily
harmless are capable Of hurtful effects if
taken too freely, or f taken by people con-
stitutionally so built to react to them un-
favorably.
But, most important of all, the best doc
tors of today know thct to put ones faith in
medicine is often to cause one to lose sight of
simple hygienic measures which may be in
dispersal BILE to restoration to health.
Stated more fully, in the words Of a Phila-
delphia physician, DR.. j. Madison Taylor,
they know that:
Reserve forces OF the body are ample to
preserve and to restore health, when made
available, set in order, and fortified by nat
ural means and wise guidance from without"
1t is this fact that should most of all be
needed by slaves of the medicine habit
Instead of continuing to swallow quantities
If drugs concerning the properties of which
hey are entirely ignorant, let them spend
title time learning the preventive and cura-
i've value of such things diet, sleep, rest,
exercise, relaxation, emotional control, fresh
air. correct posture, massage, etc.
And it, going to doctor they find him I'M
willing to prescribe any of the medicines on
which they have hitherto relied, let them
frain from virtually compelling him to give
such prescription.
But the doctor, not the patient, is the one
to determine this. And the safest rule to fol-
low is to avoid the use of drugs of any kind
unless the doctor specifically advises their
use.

THREE HUNDRED THERE

/ 1t would be hard to fancy a more
] beautiful sight than the children's
fancy dress party giTen Saturday
afternoon in the Masonic temple ball
room
Promptly at o'clock the long line
of three hundred little folks, in al
most as many different styles OF cos
tune, marched and countermarched
in double file around the large ball
room floor.
There were fat toddlers of three
and four years carrying baskets OF
flowers and with wreaths on their
heads, their pink cheeks and blue
eyes more beautiful in color than
any flower. There were colonial
DANES in powdered wig; bellies of
81 with carleton dress held out with
hoops. There were valentine girls,
and the queen of hearts, and Win
ter, with icicle pendants on her
dress. There was cowgirl, and
girls dressed as flowers-red peoples
and purple lilies: there were clowns
and soldiers, both American and
French; American Indians, and dan
dies in full evening dress, who wore
their top hats all through the party
in some cases to conceal long curls
or braids.
These were only a few of the very
attractive costumes which made the
task of the judges who awarded the
prizes very difficult one
The first prize for the girls went
to Portia Phillips, who wore a pink
chiffon party dress, and the boys
prize went to Ira w. Wills. Jr., who
was an American Indian with blank
ct and feathers and gaily painted
face.
Was Well Managed.
W. E. Turner, who is physical di-
rector of the public schools, was
floor manager and announced the
program and the social dances, and
conducted the games with which the
afternoon closed, all with a masters
skill. There was no confusion at any
time, and every minute of the after
noon was happy one for the little
folks. not to mention the pleasure
OF the three hundred grownups who
sat around the walls of the ballroom.
The first of the solo dances was
given by Doris Schouten, the Doris
fantasy, arranged by Mr.. Turner es- |
pecially for the little dancer. She |
was dressed in yellow tulle and was |
as light and airy as the gown which /
floated about her. She never missed /
a step or hesitated a minute, and |
every movement was grace itself.
Portia Phillips danced polka petite!

and rythm of movement.

MANY SHEEP DIE IN
VICINITY OF HARLOWTON

Failure to temper the wind to the
shorn lamb is believed by v~eterinar-
ians to have been responsible for the
death of several hundred sheep near
Harlowton. Hemorrhage septicemia
broke out there when the sheep were
being sheared and a severe storm i'm
mediately followed, lowering the vital
ity of the %coatless sheep, and the
spread of the disease was rapid and
fatal, according to DR.. l. Mailman,
United States veterinary inspector,
who has reported to DR.. Rudolph Sny-
der, in charge of the federal bureau
Of animal industry in Montana.
Thousands Of sheep were sheared at
one pen, DR.. Mailman reports, and it
is possible some infected animal start
ed the disease then. Its effect is il
lustrated, he says, by the condition
of flock Of 1900 owned by Senator
B. C. White Of Buffalo. Eighty Of
these were dead when DR.. Mailman
arrived and 100 others were sick.
Percentage of deaths is very high and
often infected animals are killed to
prevent further spread.
All sheep which show evidence of
the disease have been isolated, Dr..
Mailman says, and others are being
vaccinated under the direction of DR..
A. H. Mehn of the staff of State Vet
erinarian w. J.. Butler.
Hemorrhagic septicemia is the dis
ease which killed so many buffalo in
Yellowstone park last winter and DR..
Mailman was called to make an in
vestigation because of the success
which he had in stamping out the dis
ease in the park, when he checked
the spread with a loss of only "a in
a herd of 400. Suggestions by DIR.
Mailman, based upon his experience
in the park are being followed with
the sheep.

PRESIDENT WILSON
ARRIVES IN new YORK
Great Crowds Cheer Chief Executive
at Metropolis on His Return
From France.

New York, July S.-President Will
son, returning from his labors at the
peace conference, landed in New York
this afternoon from the transport
George Washington.
The George Washington locked at
3:1O p. m. President Wilson stood on
the bridge with his wife and Admiral
Grayson, his personal physician, smil-
ing, bowling and waving his hand in
acknowledgment of the cheers which
greeted him.
The George Washington passed the
Battery which was iammed with spec
tators, at 2:35 p. m.
The George Washington had a clear
way up the harbor. Police and navy
patrol boats preceded the transport
and its escort, sending out of their
path excursion craft, ferries and bar
ges.
AS the transport passed Fort Han
cock the guns doomed a presidential
salute, echoed ten minutes later by
Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth.
The shrill whistles of harbor craft
took up the din.
The president and Mrs. Wilson stood
on the bridge of the George Washing
ton as the vessel steamed slowly up
the harbor to the pier at Hoboken,
conveyed by destroyers and welcom-
ing craft Of all kinds. The rails Of
the transport was lined with return
ing soldiers cheering and waving their
caps.
The battleship Pennsylvania, bear
ing five members of the presidents
cabinet, Secretaries Daniels, Baker,
Lane, Glass and Wilson-led the way
followed by the Oklahoma with the
George Washington at her stern.
The presidents flag was flying at

ton.
Except for the wide lane through
which the transport passed, the har-
Dor seemed literally filled with small
craft carrying excursionists. A great
crowd of welcomers also had assem-
bled or the Staten Island shore and

In the harbor were forty-five war

COURT DENIES PLEA FOR
DISMISSAL OF TOWNLEY
District Judge E. C. Dean Finds Evil
dence Justifies Trial-Defense
Will Call 100 Witnesses.

Jackson, Mimi, July 1.-THE first
witness called for the defense in the
Townley- Gilbert case today was Pros
ecuting Attorney E. H. Nicholas.
District Judge E. c. Dean today de-
MED the motion of the defense to dis
miss the conspiracy charge against
President A. C. Townley Of the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league and Joseph
Gilbert, a league organizer.
The defense announced that they
would call at least 100 witnesses,
among them Congressman Baer Of
North Dakota.
Attorney George Hoke said that the
defense would bring at least twenty
witnesses who would testify that their
o did not enter military service un-
til after they had heard the talks of
Townley. He said that he also would
produce witnesses who would discred-
it the testimony of Ferdinand A. Teig-
en-, the last witness to testify for the
state.
Holds Evidence Sufficient.
II have given this matter consider
able thought" Judge Dean said in an
nouncing his decision on the motion
to dismiss. "There have been many
cases brought before me under this
section of the state law. The indict-
ment charges the defendants with con-
spiracy to violate Section 463 of the
laws of Minnesota. The defendants
ma v have violated the law and
still be guilty. 1t is the conspiracy
to do it that is charged as part of
the crime. Anything uttered for the
purpose of discouraging enlistment is
a violation of the state law. l am
inclined to think it is sufficient evil
dence to submit this case to the jury
on the question of conspiracy"
Clients Are Victims, Plea.
Attorney Hoke then began his open
ing statement to the jury.
"We will undertake to show you
that instead of us being conspirators,
my clients are the victims of a con.
spiracy extending over this and neigh
boring states and all connected up"
he said in the course of his address.
"This conspiracy was and now is in
force for the purpose of destroying
the N%onpartisan league as a political
machine. 1t is all politics and since
it is, this controversy as to what we
said and what we did, and whether the
Nonpartisan league vas loyal or dis
loyal during the war ought to be set
tied in the political arena and not in
the courts.
"These men we are attacking, the
steel trust and the bankers, who fear
that what we are advocating will in
terfere with their business, have con
spired and are now conspiring to
