no more a disease than are the
pieces OF shrapnel which entered the
bodies Of so many of our soldier
boys. They differ from the shrap-
mel In that they are the product Of
abnormal conditions within the body,
but, after they have formed, they
are just as much foreign, separate
and apart from the body itself as is
a splinter in your finger.
My doctor friend may be clever

which lead TO gall-stones. 1t is con-

Of sterilizing the gall bladder and
destroying the exciting germs there.
But, when once the gall-stones have
formed, he is powerless to cure"
them by remedies acting upon the
body, because the gall-stones are not
part Of the body.

YOUR HEALTH By cd Dr.: r. $,

A few days ago a physician wrote
me a letter scolding me for saying
an operation is necessary for the re-
moval OF gall-stones. He minated
that those of us who hold TO this
idea are imbued with about as
much science as a handful of mud
That is pretty severe criticism,
isn't it?
The doctor fears this Statement:
Of mine may lead a lot OF folks 10

will be instrumental in putting
them in premature graves, for the
operation kills many" This good

"What'S the NeUS:?''

WHEN Columbus and his caravels returned
w from the New World, the first question
shouted from the shore was, Whats the news?"
That's always the question of paramount I'M
portance Years ago folks asked it OF the post
rider, the soldier returned from the wars, the
man who had been down to the settlements or
the neighbor back from the general store.
Today, you find the answer in your newspaper.
Through the newspapers the news of the world
and of the community quickly becomes public
knowledge. And remember thiS-it takes two
kinds of news to make modern paper complete.
The first tells of happenings near and far-of
fires, sports, elections accidents, marriages,
deaths, great men, great events.
The second tells of things you eat, wear and use
things you buy things being sold to your
friends and neighbours This news is ADVER-
TISING
It's just as important to keep up-to-date on the
advertising in this paper as it is to read about
what's doing in the world of events.
~
Advertising is an essential news service.
1t is distinctly to your advantage
to be guided by it.

Armour Refuses Data on His Opera
tions on Grain Exchange

| Chicago, Oct. Ill. Ogden Armour
meat packer and capitalist, declined
today-for the present at least-to
reveal TO the federal trade commits
sion the extent of his speculations
in wheat and corn during the period
from July 10, 1920, to May 81, 1922.
Mr.. Armour will appear again Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock, after con-
ferring with his attorneys, and tell
the commission whether he will or
will not give it the figures sought.
Mr.. Armour defended speculation
in grain and the marketing machinery
which makes it possible because, he
said, the farmer is afforded an oppor-
tunity TO sell his produce on any day
of the year in an open market. The
producer does not always get the
price he is entitled to. he admitted,
but on the average, he said, the farm
er benefits by the system.
Mr.. Armour said:
''On the average, think it has, be-
cause the farmer has a place to sell
his wheat every day in the year. ne
may not always get the price he
should, the price he is entitled to but
think it has stabilized conditions.
Without the speculative futures mar
ket, no trader would try wheat until
he had it sold, and you know that
sometimes you have to carry wheat
long time before you can sell it."
George e. Marcy, head of the Ar
mour Grain company, testified that
most of the transactions by his or
ganization are hedged, through the
purchase or sale of future to safe
guard cash transaction, but there
are some purely speculative dealings.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 12-Approxi-
mately S6,000,000 will be the annual
freight increase to coarse grain ship
pers in the Middle and Northwestern
states, if the application OF the rail
roads for the elimination OF the diff
feren.ial between the rates on corn
and oats and the rates on wheat IS
granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, according to j. f. Reed,
president of the Minnesota Farm Bur
eau Federation, who returned today
from Des Moines where he ATTENDED
a hearing in the matter.
This is one of the most, if not
the most important question now pen
ding in the United States,' Mr.. Reed
declared in speaking of the Des
Moines hearing.
It is the outgrowth, he explained,
of the general hay, and grain rate
case. which was decided in favor OF
the shippers by the Federal Com
mission last December, and reduced
hay and grain rates approximately
s38,O0O,OOO annually and restored the
differential which existed before the
war between wheat and coarse grains.
Because of their lower value and
use," Mr.. Reed explained, coarse
grains are entitled to lower freight
rate than wheat. The use and value
of commodities have always been fac
tors in rate making. The proposed
increase was asked for in the appli-
cation of the railroads, simply means

CAR SHORTAGE
DELAYS MARKETING

The marketing of Montanas big
crops this year is being delayed by a
serious shortage of railway cars. In
many sections grain elevators are re-
ported filled to capacity waiting for
cars in which to ship. Due to the con-
gestion of grain at railway points
many farmers are unable to move
their crops to the elevators for stor-
age or marketing.
Livestock is reported throughout
the state to be moving to market as
rapidly as transportation facilities
will permit. Continued dry weather in
practically all sections east of the
continental divide, while ideal for
harvesting, Is prevented the seeding
