WE OUGHT TO LIVE FOR
EVER, SAYS AN EXPERT

1--WE ought to live forever is the
conclusion drawn from experiments
conducted by the Rockefeller lnsti-
tute for Medical Research. This con-
clusion, polished in Scientific Amer
lean, assumes increased interest in
the light of recent gland theories of
rejuvenation.
1.-The reason we do not actually live
forever" says a writer in the Scien-
tific American, "is that the organs
which compose the complex human
mechanism are interdependant, and
failure in one, even a minor organ,
induces failure in others
1T seems that medical science h:s
pretty well accepted the conclusioa
the that phyy ical well being of many
of these organs is controlled by
certain glands, which have bee l
merely disregarded heretofore be-
cause their function was not unde
stood. These new experiments ind
cate that the action of the glands,
and consequently many bodily func-
tions, depend in part or entirely up
on an element of food, which, al
though it has not yet been isolated,
has been arbitrarily named vita
mines.
Recently the discovery has been
made that the food richest in vita
mines is yeast. of the sort we have
always thought useful chiefly for
making bread and beer. Diseases
which appear to improve from the
yeast treatment include stomach
troubles Of all kinds, constipation,
run down and nervous conditions,
loss of weight and appetite, boils
blackheads and others. The inn
provement appears to come from the
stimulative effect of the vitamines
on the glands especially those of the
digestive systers, combined possibly
with some other unexplained prop
critics of yeast.
"Will it not be possible when the
vitamines themselves, their effect on
the glands, and the effect of the
glands on the body are better known
to life for two hundred or five hun
dred years?
1--WE may reasonably conclude from
the scientific evidence already at
hand that such thing is plausible,
at least. There is a growing vol
ume of evidence, perhaps not conclu-
sive, but making the probability very
great, that old age is induced princi-
pally by the failure OF certain glands
which exert a mysterious bat a very
real influence upon all Of the bodily
tissues. Finally, the life and vigor
of the glands seem dependant upon
the mysterious food element, vita
m nes."

OPPOSED TO CHANGING ROAD
LAW BY LEGISLATURE

I'VE, the unders ,gned county COM
mssioners, desire it to be known
through the press that we are Meth
er parties to nor in sympathy with
the petition that is being circulated
asking that the senator and repres-
entative Of this county pass a law
abolishing the road commission and
putting road business into the hands
of the county commissioners.
On the contrary it is our belief
that road matters and other county
affairs should be kept separate and
distinct, as the people have hereto
fore indicated by their votes. Since
the present county commissioners all
reside in Monroe township, il would
be manifestly unfair to the other
townships for Monroe township to
take complete charge of all admins-
the present system each road cleo
torate knows the condition of roads
in his particular township and re-
ports same to the road commission,
thus keeping them thoroughly in
touch with roads throughout the
county, whereas the present county
commissioners, all residing in Mon
roe township, could hardly be expect
ed to know all road conditions in out
lying townships. Further, we do not
believe that any economy to the coun-
ty would result from the proposed
change, as the present road commits
lion is as capable of managing road
affairs Of the county as the county
commissioners and have indicated
Their intention Of curtailing expenses
now that most of the bond money
has been expended. We also wish to
deny the report that the county COM
missioners and road commissioners
have been out of harmony or that
here has been any conflict of author
ity. The relations between the two,
codes have been altogether cordial
and pleasant and they have worked
= harmony and cooperation hereto
fore and hope and expect to do so,
in the future.

ASSASSINATION AS AN


THE cables on Monday last
l brought us news of the at
tempted assassination in Berlin of
Macmillan Harden, a regular cor
respondent Of The Great Falls
Tribune and other leading news
papers in the United States. Every
Sunday morning we have been
printing these cable letters of Mr..
Hardin, which are transmitted to
us over a special telegraph wire
from New York as soon as they
arrive there. These letters have
been coming to the readers of The
Tribune now for a good many
months, and 50 he seems to be al
most a personal acquaintance of
many of our readers. Some at least
of the cowardly ~assassins who tried
to murder Macmillan Harden have
been arrested and we will probably
soon learn their motives. Max
MILAN Harden was one of the most
noted writers in 0errnana and was
fearless in expressing his opinions,

RAILROAD WAGES

THE maintenance of way m
1 ployes of the railroad are prob
ably the lowest paid employees on
the average of any class of railroad
men. They did not strike Saturday
when the shopmen went out, and
they are ordered by their officials
at the head of their union to remain
at work for the present. They have
voted by a large majority to strike
against the scale of wages adopted
by the railroad labor board. The
reason why a strike order has not
been Issued by the union chiefs rep
resenting this class of railroad labor
appears to rest on an alleged dis
position of the board to review their
wage decision on the allegation
that since it was made, the cost OF
living has increased somewhat. The
labor board based its decision on
the allegation that the new wage
scale constituted an increase over
the pre-war scale in its purchasing
power. This is denied by the men,
who declare that the pre-war wage
scale was too low to afford a decent
living and provisions for old age.
1t is certainly true that the cost
of living. which has been steadily
declining for a considerable period,
is not declining just now. Rather
is it increasing, and the purchasing
power of the dollar is declining
That tendency promises to increase
in the future. The United States
government through congress is do
ing everything it can to increase
the cost of living. 1t has been try
ing to satisfy the demands of pro-
ducers, manufacturers and others
that prices be increased because
their profits are too small or they
have no profits at all. Many OF
them say that the reason why prices
are so low that they can make no
profits at present prices is that
they have to compete with foreign
goods prices and they want such
competition removed so that they
can raise their prices without fear
of competition. Congress i<bledged
TO meet their demand with the high.

anC billions of treasure. Although we
have the freest and best government
under the shining sun, there are those
living under the protection Of the flag
who would destroy it and set some
thing else up in it's place.
There are those who preach a
propaganda that has no place in a free
republic. They construe freedom to
be a license, and the freedom of the
press to be institutions to promote
disloyalty. We want 10 imported
theories of government Of the old
world grated on to the constitution
of the United States of America. 1t
is good enough for us and good enough
for us to protect from all insidious
doctrines of un-Americans.
Listen to the advice of Washing
ton whose name and fame is written
among the immortals, and had it not
been for his commanding power and
a nation. He says, Against the in
sidious wiIes of foreign influence. l
c~onjure you to believe me, fellow citi-
zens, that jealousy of q free people
ought constantly to be awake, since
history and experience prove that for
eign influence is one of the most bale

We've Paid Our Debt to France
-Four million of our young men fit
to bear the rigors of war joined the
colors to fight in the great war against
Germany. Two million two hundred
thousand braved the perils OF the deep
and crossed 5000 miles of a waste of
waters to fight on the bloody battle
fields of France. They convinced the
doubling nations of the world that the
American soldier for bravery and fight
ing ability. has no superior on the
rolling globe.
"Twenty-three thousand American
soldiers lie in one vast cemetery in
France. Our hearts go out to the
loved ones lost beyond the seas. In
the eloquent words Of Robert Inger-
soil, they sleep beneath the shadows
of the clouds careless alike Of sun
shine or storm, each in the windowless
palace of peace. The earth may run
red with other wars but they are at
peace.
I'VE have paid the debt to France
and Lafayette and from the examples
that our forefathers set before us let
us remember that there is another
shaft besides that of bronze or stone.
There is a nobler monument than n
found in the abbeys and cemeteries.
1t is the monument of every good and
useful man and woman. II is the mon-
ment of the world made better. This
is the monument that endures., The
teeth of time cannot touch it. The
flame of the great day cannot on
sumo it. II endures forever. For
such a monument let US all live and
toll and keep ever before us the senti-
ment of Webster, Ny country, my
whole country and nothing but my
country"

been successfully treated often try to
keep their illness q secret, because OF
the popular fear of the disease. The
lingering, malignant cases get public
ity and more firmly instill Iurid ideas
of ANGER in the minds of the public.
I'VE have heard too much about
these last stages Of the disease" says
one member of the local cancer CON
troll committee. Almost every one
can recount the history of some fear
full case. What we need is more
knowledge of the durable stage"
Origin Is Unknown
No one knows yet the origin of can
Ger. Doctors are practically agreed
that it is not hereditary. 1t is GER
tainlny not contagious. Persistent ir-
r%itation is frequently a primary cause.
Any article of clothing that is allowed
to rub and irritate the skin for long
periods of time is dangerous. When
wOmen wore chatelaine watches on
pins, doctors traced some cases of
cancer of the breast to the watch
swinging to and fro over one spot.
A jagged tooth Or an i'll fitting plate
may irritate he tongue and if the
condition is allowed to continue and an
open sore forms cancer may set in.
If the little white spot that sometimes
forms on the tongue of a pipe smoker
is allowed to become chronic is is a
possible starting point for cancer. So
is any other sore that will not heal.
A wart or mole is ordinarily dangerous
only if it changes color or grows or
otherwise takes on an abnormal ap-
pearance. Any growth or lump should
be examined.
More insidious and more difficult to
discover are the internal cancers. The
disease rarely attacks persons under
35. After that age a man who suffers
from chronic indigestion with loss of
weight and a woman whose physical
functions become irregular or abnormal
have suspicious symptoms that should
not be neglected.
It is as important to know some
thing of the cures for cancer as it is
to know the general symptoms. The
American Society for the Control of
Cancer says that there is no medi-
cine. serum, or vaccine that will cure
this disease. No paste or plaster will
benefit it. Furthermore, patients are
advised to make sure of the reliability
Of a doctor before going to consult
him.
VIZ SI'1IOuS pfttNsNtc. tHt liz
control society says are to be avoid
ed. The usual treatment for cancer
Gus tissue is removal by a surgical op-
Grafton. with perhaps X-ray treatments
a~fterward. There are still c%ontrover-
sizes over the actual benefit of radium
and X-rays in treating ancer.
We are told by n specialist that
radium can be used to cure superficial
skin cancers that are not malignant
because in such cases radium can be
applied directly on the cancer. X-rays
are also being used in such cases with
satisfactory results. he says. From
the developments in use Of Mays
there is hope that deep cancers may
be reached by them. In the mean
time. don't be an alarmist, but if you
develop cancer symptoms don't trust
to luck to pull you through. 1t won't.

Lewistown. July 4.-The grasshop-

about over. Led by County Agent Carl
II. Peterson. the farmers have sys-
tematically combatted the hoppers in
the districts where they were most
numerous. the county having appro-
priated S1l, 900 for the project. AL
though the hoppers in these sections,
as in parts Of the Grass Range country
were very thick. they have gone down
under the poison treatment. The re
suit has demonstrated that the pests
can be literally wiped out wherever
the work is systematized and carefully
looked after, and the farmers of Fer
gus county are no longer disturbed
over the situation.

est tariff ever proposed in this
country.
There is no doubt at all that
when the new tariff bill is in force
the cost Of living will 60 up still
more. The equity of the demand
of the railroad men for still higher
wages will be undeniable if the cost
of living scars upward again as it
is expected to do when foreign
competition in our markets is re-
moved. 1t would seem hardly
worth while to reduce wages at a
time when the cost of living is al
ready increasing and promises to
soar to still greater attitudes.
The United States government
through its labor board is reducing
wages with one hand, and through
it's congress is engaged in boosting
prices and the cost Of living with
the other hand. The two things do
not harmonic. They are contrary
to each other. We don't blame the
railroad men for kicking. Yet we
don't see how they are going to
gain anything by going on a strike,
in defiance of the railroad labor
board, which says it is willing to
consider boosting wages if the pur-
chasing value of the dollar of wages
goes down by rising prices. By
striking they find themselves out
side the labor board and outside
of its recognition. All the power
of the government and public opin-
ion also is back of the labor board
which was intended to prevent
strikes by reason and argument ir
place of force. On this board the
employers, employees and the public
are equally represented. We are
satisfied it intends to be fair. The
men can win more by proving thai
prices r going up now and will
60 up more in the future, and there
fore it is a bad time to reduce
wages, than they can by striking.

Of EUROPE. SAYS
Senator B. G. White at Belt
Deprecates That Liberty
Means License.
Special to The Tribune.

Belt, July An an address here
Tuesday afternoon, Senator b. e.
White of Buffalo spoke to an audience
of several hundred attending the
Fourth of July celebration. He en-
phasized the vision of Americas col
onial forefathers whose steadfastness
to the principles of liberty and justice
made possible the Declaration of In
dependence in commemoration of which
the Fourth of July has been set aside
as a national holiday.
Senator White said in part:
"Our revolutionary forefathers es-
tablished a new nation on q new prin-
ciple of government in a new world
and created a constitution for the gov
eminent of the people that is the ad.
miration of statesmen and the marve!
of wisdom. 1t has stood the test OF
nearly q century and a half. 1t has
stood the shock of a civil war and it
will stand as the bulwark Of our liber-
ties and the fundamental law OF the
land as long as the American people
stand ~steadfast for the American idea
of government and place men in office
to guide the affirs of republic who are
high minded, patriotic, and have a high
ideal to serve all of the people for their
best welfare rather than for faction or
party.
Not An Asylum for the Old World
The idea that the United States
is an asylum for the oppressed, the
d~owntrodden and the unfortunate sub
jects of the despots of the old world,
will have to be revised. The war with
Germany demonstrated that thousands
who came to our shores only came for
personal and %pecuniary benefits to
themselves: to absorb all that they
could. but when called upon to bear
arms and march shoulder to shoulder
with our sons. in the defense of the
country and save the world from a
military despotism, they plead that
they were aliens and not subject to
military duty under the flag Of the
United States.
That class of men should never be
permitted to become citizens of the
United States. The sons of hundreds
of thousands of naturalized citizens OF
the republic joined the colors and
fought side by side with IL sons.
They made splendid soldiers and are
worthy and patriotic citizens. The
bones Of our soldiers lie on a hundred
battlefields. They died for the country
they loved and the flag they honored.
They died for you and ME. They
made the supreme sacrifice; they are
gone forever.
