How to Avoid the Grip

Avoid colds for grip often starts
with a cold. Avoid over heated and
poorly ventilated rooms, and undue
exposure. Do not associate with peo-
pie who have colds or grip, particular
ly do OF allow them to cough or seeze
in your face. Keep your bowels regular
and avoid ~overeating. Keep your
physical resistance by breathing fresh
air day and night. Then when you
take cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and get rid Of it as quick as
possible.

So Democrats
May Know
Written by G. e. Wofferd, State
Central Committeeman

From the Roundup Tribune
(Democratic)
The aim and end Of the Non
partisan-labor league organiza-
ton is state socialism. At the
Great Falls convention this
league adopted a short "pro-
gram" which is socialistic
through and through. Mr.. Wheel
er and the men who are running
with him on the ticket are
pledged to that program. They
are In no wise bound by the
pIatltudinous piffIe embodied in
the platform adopted by the
Democratic convention at Hell
ena. They are running on a
PLATFORM, which, among other
things, demands the release Of
all political prisoners, such as
Eugene v. Debs and other dis
IoyaIists who are serving prison
sentences for words and actions
which tended to hinder the prose-
cution Of the war;. a platform
which demands the repeal Of the
anti-sedition laws Of the state
and nation; a platform which
pledges the REPEAL Of the state
militia law so that anarchy may
run riot in any part Of Montana
where the red radicals will It;
which endorses the "WorId War
Veterans" a sociaIistic organiza-
ton which is bitterly fighting the
American Legion.
This is the political kite to
which the myopic leaders of the
Democratic party attempted to
hitch themselves as a tail. BY
endorsing Wheeler and his CO.
terie they endorsed the whole
shameful program outlined at the
Great Falls convention. There is
no use trying to gloss over this
fact. We as Democrats r
asked to stand for the whole
program. We are asked to be
regular" partyites at the ex-
pense of our Americanism and
our regard for the decent and
orderly progress of constitution
al government which has been
the foundation of our greatness
as q nation.
