becoming one of the most influential
members Of the legislature. \
Recognizing his unmistakable eli.
gibility for the office and the valu-i
able services he had rendered in the
party ranks, in 1888 President Harri-
son nominated him for governor Of
the territory, the nomination being
confirmed by congress March %,
1889. He served as the territory's
chief executive until his tenure of
office expired by reason of the admis-
sion of Montana into the Union as
state, November 8. 1889, an object
for which he had been one of the
most enthusiastic and insistent work
ers.
Loaned on Integrity
Governor White had two kinds of
courage that are not always found
combined, for he was as brave moral
ly as he was physically.
Those who went to him for an
opinion concerning men, politics and
ordinary business affairs, never fail
ed to receive straight and absolute
ly truthful answer to their inquiries.
Furthermore he almost invariably
was right in his estimates, for he had
an lntultlVe laculty OF sizing up nO-
man nature and conditions. and to
this gift was added the vast expert
ence acquired through very busy
and active life.
He conducted his banking business
in the spirit of the old and rapidly
disappearing west which took into
account more the character and re-
liability of the man than the material
possessions of the individual.
Many good stories have been told
of Governor White in this respect,
and the CONSERVATION of visiting
eastern bankers over his manner Of
making loans which frequently had
for their security little beyond the
tried integrity. industry and capabil-
ity of the borrower as a cattleman,
skeepman or merchant.

move north a few miles the COVER

the road was building from Utah into
Montana probably 20 stops were
made. The little town that had
grown up around the terminal would
be loaded on to flat cars and shunted
to its new destination, buildings,
stocks of goods, and people.
When the rails reached the Beaver
head valley the railroad company en-
countered trouble. Richard Deacon,
ia determined settler, controlled a
strip of ranch land extending across
the valley. He dug rifle pits on his
land and drove the railroad engineers
away from his property.
The official in charge of the rail-
road building suggested to Governor
White that he and others who had
been prOfiting through the railroad

that it spreads with almost lightning

control in others.

Many people seem to think that acid
stomach is of little Importance; that it merely
causes some slight trouble such as beching,
heartburn, sour, gassy stomach, food-repeat-
ing, bloat, etc.
If those same people would only realize the
real truth about acid-stomach and when these
first symptoms appear would at once start to
get rid of them, what a crushing load of awful
suffering, misery and ill-heath would be lifted
from mankind!
Do you realize that the i'll effects of an acid
stomach extend throughout the entire system
and more or less affect practically every organ
and tissue of the human body? Well, it's fact.
For that matter, few people realize that one of
the chief causes of tooth decay is tasteless
acid that forms in the mouth-acid-mouth the
dentists call it. And SO with acid-stomach-
you can't always feel it's actual presence but it
keeps right on creating serious damage
throughout the entire system nevertheless. For
instance, probably few people would ever think
that there could be any connection between an
acid-stomach and dandruff and falling hair; or
between an acid stomach and equity foot.
Nevertheless there 10 q direct connection.
Acid-stomach interferes with digestion and
assimilation. It causes the food to ferment.

ELIZAB BETH,

Elizabeth, is a holy name and has
a devious origin, it likewise has as
many derivatives, contractions, and
deminutives as Mary.
Going back to early biblical times we
find that the wife of Aaron possessed
q name popular at that time, in that
IL contained a dedication to the Dity.
This name was Elischeba, meaning
God hath sworn. In the Latin this was
called Elizabeth, the mother of John
the Baptist bore this name and her
first historical pamesake was the Mus
Covite Princess Elsivetta, the daugh-
ter of JarOsalv and the object of the
romantic love of the famous poet and
seeking Harald. Hardarda of Norway,
through her the name became popular
in Denmark, whence it crept into
Germany.

AS a powerful reconstruction tonic

and is fully supported by recognized
authorities. According to all accept

S. Dispensatory, Encyclopedias Britain

in the schools of medicine, the prin-
cipal Ingredients of Tanlac possess
the most powerful re-constructiye pro-

that millions of persons who have
actually taken Tanlac have testified to
it's extraordinary powers as med

Tanlac restores health and strength
to the weak and rundown system by
enabling every organ of the body to
peform its proper functions in the

Important evidence Of the recon

by the fact that it was used by tens Of

Declares Dreco Has Put a
Stop to All These Ailments.

1 can't praise Dreco highly enough
for the good it did my wife," are the
words Of Mr.. Henry Gates, 2O07 East
Eighth Street, Muncie, Ind.
She was always complaining of
backache, pains over her kidneys and
weakness of the back. After each
meal her stomach would fill up with
gas and often gripping pains would
strike her in the stomach. A lump
would rise in her throat that made
her feel like she was choking. Her
bowels were badly constipated and
she had to take medicine for this
trouble every night; if she didn't she
would suffer the next day; splitting
headaches sometimes put her in bed.
The first bottle of Dreco worked a
big change in her; her bowels became
regular; pains left her back; she
hasn't had headache in sometime
now and her nerves are quieted so
that she sleeps all night now Her
stomach is greatly improved and
nothing seems to upset it as before.
The gas does not form and she
doesn't have that choking either. |
