OPEN CAMPAIGN
FOR SUFFERING
Committee Formed for
Jewish Campaign to Aid
Wars Victims.
MUST FIGHT TYPHUS
Six Millions Face Starvation
Including $4,000 Or
phaned Children.
MUST FIGHT nPHUs

Organizing what they hope is the
last call on the public for funds to
help suffering humanity, the Jews
of the District have formed COM
mittees to aid in a nationwide
drive for Jewish sufferers from the
war. The money is to be used in
combating typhus and relieving
dreadful conditions of famine and
distress among the peoples of
Eastern and Central Europe.
The campaign in this city will
start on May 20 and will last until
May %, and will be known as the
Jewish Relief Campaign for the
Sufferers from the War"
Food. Medicines and Clothing Needed
Although fighting in this section
is theoretically over. the people in
this section have no food, medicines,
clothing or supplies other than
that which is furnished by the
charity of Americans. More than
One-half the Jewish population of
the world is centered in this par
ticular territory and of the six mil
lion stricken folk, more than one
million are children, and of this
number more than $4,000 are orph-
phans, many of whom have been
without shelter for long periods of
time.
The vast sums that have been
sent over have provided little more
than enough to keep souls and bodies
together. More is needed to fight
disease and aid in establishing
some kind of economic reconstruc-
tiOn in order that these people may
not become permanent paupers and
a constant drain on the charities of
the world.
Suffering Worse Than Ever.
As Jacob Schiff said when he was
adding his contribution to the fund
in the New York City drive: Il
can say OF my own knowledge that
at no time have greater numbers
of people undergone more acute
suffering than is at this moment
the case in these countries, and
that the gravity Of a situation in
which starvation, homelessness and
destitution are leading factors is
immeasurably heightened by the
menace of the typhus epidemic
which, unless checked, will cause
the deaths OF countless thousands -

President Wilson enjoyed an auto ride
few days ago. 1t was the first time he
had left the White House grounds in five
months. There is no doubt he has been
a ve4y sick man and has deserved very
much more sympathy than he has re-
ceived. DR.. Devan, former president Of
the American Medical Association and
professor of surgery at Rush Medical
College, in speaking of Mr.. Wilson's con-
dition, said:-
'The Presidents stroke, with the re-
sulting paralysis of one side of his body,
is due to disease of the arteries of his
brain, with plugging up of the arteries
which supply that part of the right side
of his brain which controls his left arm
and leg.
'tThe disease of the arteries is perma-
nent and not temporary condition. In
other words, the President has perma-
nently damaged brain. He is evidently
slowly recovering from the paralysis OF
his arm and leg and may recover fairly
well. although never completely, the use
of his limbs. But the diseased arteries,
which were responsible for the stroke,
and the damaged brain remain and will
not be recovered from"

CHARLES CLARY

Charles M. Clary was born at Brooks,
Maine, April 9, 1854, and died at Long
Beach, California, January 10, 1920, after
an illness of several months.
When 20 years of age he went to Mas
sachusetts, engaging in the stone-cutting
business, with brother-in-law, but leav-
ing it to come to Montana three years
later. First engaging in freighting in the
Smith river valley. Within two years he
had come to the Judith Basin and en-
gagged in the stock raising business. To-
gether with r. w. Clifford and E. j.
Morrison he engaged extensively in the
sheep business, later on buying out the
interest Of Mr.. Morrison. In 1883 he was
elected sheriff of Fergus county and on
the creation of the State of Montana in
1889, ran again for sheriff at special
election made necessary by the act Gre
ating the State, and was defeated by
Maurice Sullivan. Shortly afterwards
he engaged in running a sawmill on the
upper Judith river in what is known as
Pig Eye basin. After three years of OPP
Grafton he moved to the Musselshell val
ley and continued there for two more
years, finally returning to his ranch on
Ross Fork, where he re-engaged in the
sheep business, and later in farming For
the last four years he has spent part of
his time in California, renting his various
properties He was married in 1880, bring
ing to Montana as his bride, Miss Ella
Woodbury., who survives him. He is
survived by four sisters, Mrs. Ellen Web
Der, Gloucester, Massachusetts,; Mrs. Min
ME E. Kicker and Mrs. Abbie j. Clements
of Wsldo, Maine, and Miss Alice G.
Clary of Brooks, Maine. Mr.. Clary was
made Mason in Lewistown Lodge, No.37,
A. F. & A. NJ, in 1898, and shortly after
wards received the degree of Royal Arch
Mason in Hiram Chapter, No. Is, R. A.
M. AS one of the we'll known old timers
of this section of Montana, Mr.. Clary
enjoyed wide acquaintance and with it
the warm friendship of many who had
been drawn to him by the warm generos-
ity and fine geniality of his nature. With
out ostentation he did his share in the
upbuilding of this part of Montana and
his passing will be noted with sorrow by
all who knew him.
In the death of Mr.. Clary Moore and
Fergus county loses one of her best citi-
Zens and it leaves place vacant in the
county that will be hard one to fill.
The funeral services were held from the
Masonic Lodge rooms in Lewistown on
Sunday afternoon and the beautiful burial
service of that order was used. Rev.
Hirsch delivered funeral sermon. The
body was laid to rest in the Lewistown
cemetery. A large number from here at
tended the services which showed the
high esteem in which he was held by
those who knew him the best.-The

Quit Laxatives,
Purges; Try NR
Mr. Tonight - Tomorrow Feel Right

1t is a mistake to continually dose
yourself with so-called laxative pills,
calomel, oil, purges and cathartics
and force bowel action. 1t weakens
the bowels and liver and makes con-
slant dosing necessary.
Why don't you begin right today to
overcome your constipation and get
your system in such shape that daily
purging will be unnecessary? You
can do so if you get a 25c box of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) and
take one each night for a week or so.
Mr. Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant easy bowel &C
ton. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as eliminative organs
promotes good digestion, causes the
body to get the nourishment from all
the food you eat, gives you good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
overcomes biliousness, regulates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body thorough cleaning out. This
accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional Mr.
tablet will keep your body in condi-
ton and you can always feel your best.
Try Natures Remedy (NR Tablets)
and prove this. 1t is the best bowel
medicine that you can use and costs
only Csc per box, containing enough to
last twenty-five days. Natures REM

THE RAILROADS.

More than 1000, 600 of our people own
railroad securities, the aggregate hold
ings being about SlO,OOO,O 100000. There
are about SO, 100000 life insurance policies
in force in the United States and more
than rs per cent of their investments are
in railroad stocks or bonds. There are
10000, 900 depostors in our savings banks
and of these deposits S847, 900, 900 are in
railroad securities. National banks and
trust companies have 1855, 900, 900, fire
and marine insurance companies have
s64o, 900, 900, colleges, churches and char
liable institutions own $3.50, 900, 600. The
total of these corporate holdings is s4,-
I'll, 100000, which people of the United
States are depending upon to provide for
the proverbial rainy day, against cas-
ualty, to promote education, to uphold
religion or to bestow charity. The enor-
nous sum of S14, I'll, 600, 900 has been put
into the railroads b. the American people
and represents tie financial stake which
they have put up. But investments fall
far short of all that is involved In the
railroad situation. More than 100, 900, 600
people must be warmed, clothed and fed.
Our factories must have coal and raw
material. The every day business OF the
country which gives employment and
livelihood of 10000, 900 American citi-
zens, must 60 on. Even hasty glance
at the above figures and suggestive state
ments should convince any thoughtful
person that the rehabilitation of our rail-
roads is, next to the saving of the coun-
try itself, the most important necessity
which this country has ever faced. If
there is collapse of our transportation
system business will starve and famine
will enter our homes. This rehabilitation
will be a hardship. 1t will call for
large expenditure of money. Passenger
and freight tariffs must be largely in
creased and the government must pro-
vide large sums which soon or late the
people must pay.
The bill restoring the railroads to pri-
vate ownership and management passed
tn House by a majority of 100, and the
Senate by majority of 80, 1t was signed
by the President Feb. 18th Its decisive
passage by both branches OF Congress
and it's prompt approval by Mr.. Wilson
indicates that it is, at least, reasonably
good enactment OF course it will not
be satisfactory to the radical members of
the railroad brotherhoods who are op-
posed to government control and to pri-
vate ownership. Nothing will suit them
except purchase by the government and
the turning over of control to embryo
Lenines and Trotzkys chosen from their
own ranks. We believe, however, that
great majority of the members of the
brotherhoods are sensible and patriotic
men who realize that the railroad situa-
ton has been, is now and for some time
will continue to be critical, involving not
only their personal business but the bust
ness interests of everybody. 1t is use
less to discuss the railroad bill item by
item. 1t must be tried out on the rails,
judged on its merits, and amended from
time to time if necessary.

Mr. Alexander, Secretary of Con.
merce, in a recent bulletin, says that
England sold US more goods in 1919 than
she did before the war, the value being
S204, 900, 900 while in 1918 the value was
S134, 100000. President Wilson asserted
that ratification of the document which
he brought to us from Europe, was nee
essary to the resumption of trade. Dur
ing the year 1919 America exported
goods to the value of 81, 900, 900, 900 more
than she imported and we imported all
we needed. We seem to have done fairly
well in trade for one year without either
the treaty or the League.
