MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
IN HEALTH CRUSADE

The modern health crusade. insti-
tuted in many Montana schools four
years ago by the Montana Tubercu-
losis association, will continue to
play an important part in the school
curriculum, according to announce
ment by Mrs. Sara E. Morse, execu-
tive secretary of the association.
Since the opening of the school term,
Mrs. Morse has been receiving let
ters from teachers in all parts of the
state, who are eager to begin the
crusade. Supplies, information and
instructions are being mailed as rap
idly as they are called for.
Discussing the interest that is be-
ing shown in the health crusade, Mrs.
Morse says she regards it as an in
dication of the progress of the health
movement that is being fostered by
her own and similar organizations
throughout the country. She reads
in it confirmation of the the fact that
health is rising to a place of primary
Importance in the educational field,
where it is being recognized educa-
ton cannot advance regardless of
brilliant minds if there is not also
perfect health.
Once given a place in the school
room, the crusade holds its own
through the favor of the children,
who are eager to enroll as crusaders
in what is to them a new and fascin-
ating game. The health chores,
which constitute the crusade, r the
simple, everyday rules of hygiene, by
means of which the average boy and
girl may attain physical perfection.
Once impressed with the Importance
of clean hands, clean teeth, proper
diet, fresh air, plenty of sleep and
the like, children enter whole heart
eddy into the game which embraces
all of these. Through the children
the health crusade is carried into
many homes" says Mrs. Morse in en-
phasizing the educational value of
the crusade, "and its influence is far

ARDENT LETTERS
BRING OUT WIDOW
COMES FROM CALIFORNIA TO
MONTANA TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT THE WRITER.
Finally Picks on Innocent Man As
Author of Romantic Epistles; a
Courtship by Mail That Has a Fun
ny Sequel

Loves young dream never lacks a
press agent. But here's a tale of love
at middle age, with ardor that makes
love at 20 appear weak, flat and pas
sionless.
1t was a courtship by correspond
ence, to begin with. Mrs. Bertha
Patunel, a widow, for the last 10
years, living in California and a suc-
cessful saleswoman, formed the ac-
q~uaintance, by mail, of n F. I Will
liams of Great Falls.
Williams wrote that he was be-
tween SO and 55 years of age; about
five feet six inches in height; weigh
ing 10 pounds, and that he was a
widower.
His letters, according to Mrs. Pa
tunel, lust got me all excited" What
was more natural then, than that
Mrs. Patunel should take her summer
vacation in Montana, touring Yellow
stone park, later visiting friends 1t
Butte, then going to Great Falls to
meet the man with whom she had
carried on such a delightful CORE
spondence?
Last Letter Returned
Mrs. Patunel went to Great Falls
three weeks ago, but did not find
Williams. Her last few letters to him,
addressed to a post office box, had
been returned to her. But she found
that a man named F. G. McWilliams
lived at the Weise hotel.
Unfortunately, Mr.. McWilliams is a
travelling man, and he had just gone
on a road trip before Mrs. Patunel
arrived. But that did not daunt the
lady. Instead, Mrs. Patunel rented
a room at the Stevens hotel, next door
to the Weise-a room that looked
out upon the same court that furnish
es light and air to Mr.. McWilliams'
apartment.
1t couldn't have been more roman
tic if a Hollywood producer had ar
ranged it all. Every night Mrs. Pa
tunel had the maid look out to see if
light burned in McWilliams' win
dow, denoting his return to town.
Many evenings passed before last Fri
lay, when McWilliams did come back
10 the city.
The maid gave Mrs. Patunel the
glad tidings when the light appeared,
he story goes. Then Mrs. Patunel
made the acquaintance of j. J.
Wuerthner, a lawyer, who is a friend
Of Mr.. McWilliams. A meeting was
arranged to take place in Mr.. Wuerth-
office.
1t vas a much-bewildered man who
net Mrs. Patunel, however,. The
ady suggested that they might talk
McWilliams led the
way to the Palm room at Hotel Rain
,ow.
81 was very much disturbed when
our last letters were returned" said
1rs. Patunel.
Now MI. McWilliams is agent for
ONE national publications, and his
BUSINESS correspondence is rather
arge. He thought he had an unusual
ustomer on his hands.
But your first letters just broke !

had come from California 1 was de-
ermined to see you before 1 re-
urned." :

Then McWilliams was up a tree. He
as no customers in California. Ex-
lanations were asked.
Didn't you write these letters?"
sked Mrs. Patunel, handing him a
lumber of letters written by a mascu-
ne hand. {
"Of course not" said McWilliams. =
These were written by a man named 4

Wanted to Continue Case

T. H. Macdonald, attorney for the
defense, asked that the trial be con-
tinued in order to- completely vindi-
cate his client, and said that he had
20 or more witnesses whom he wished
to place on the stand, and to intro
duce in evidence a letter from the
government prohibition officials at
Washington commencing the firm of
Stewart & Holmes, manufacturers of
the alleged illegal compound, for
their efforts to comply strictly with
the law.
However, the court ruled that con-
tinuing the case was of no possible
use and granted the motion of County
Attorney Dean King to dismiss.

MANY SCHEMES
TO E ALCOHOL
TESTIMONY IN DODDS CASE RE
VEALS UNUSUAL
METHODS.
States Action Against Former Legis-
IatOr Changed With Selling ''Tinc-
ture of Orange Peel" ColIapses
During Kalispeu Trial.

The collapse of the states case
against Percy F. Dodds, charged with
selling "Tincture of Sweet Orange
Peel" came in district court at Kali
ispell after some unusual evidence
concerning the lengths to which those
with a thirst will go to secure alco-
hol.
After it had been shown by the tes-
timony of w. H.. Wright, a chemist,
that the tinctures of orange and lem
on peel contained, respectively, 84.2
and "a per cent of alcohol, A. M.
Holt, a Whitefish druggist testified to
it's use, as had other druggists, in the
preparation and compounding of
medicines.
Mr.. Holt testified that there had
been a greatly Increased demand for
tincture of orange peel'' OF anything
else having an alcoholic content since
the saloons went out, and told of in
creases in the sale of iodine, Jamaica

considered potable. Mr.. Holt said
that he had limited the sale of orange
peel to four ounces at one time and
had never sold it when, to his knowl-
edge, it was intended for a beverage.
Here Are Two Ways
Upon cross-examination, the wit
ness admitted that iodine could be
through ordinary white bread,
any similar starchy substance and
come out nearly pure alcohol, the TO-
dine having been absorbed by its
affinity for starch. He also admit
ted that spirits of camphor could be
with water in a way that
would p%recipitate the camphor and
cave virtually a pure alcohol. Can
led heat" he said, sis composed of a
mixture of ethyl and methyl alcohol
n a paraffine base and could be sep
from such base by a simple
PRESSURE from the heavier base"
1t was apparent that the defense
lad intended to prove by it's own wit
esses that the tincture of orange peel
vas unfit for beverage purposes, but

TO THE VOTERS OF RANKIN
COUNTY

| wish to say a few words to the
voters of Rankin County through
this, our county paper, in behalf OF
J. e. Kersh, candidate for Circuit
Clerk of Rankin County, Miss
First | want to say that / have
known and have been very closely
associated with Mr.. Kersh for a
number of years and have always
found him to be a man of good
habits and sterling qualities Some
of YOU may not know Mr.. kersh
personally. He is the son of the
late ID. A Kersh, of South Rankin,
who was considered one of the best
practical and most conscientious
men of his community, and man
who has been greatly missed since
his death, for he meant something
to his community.
Now, some of you voting people
may think Mr. j. E. Kersh is still
receiving compensation from the
government and really does not need
the office for which he is asking.
That is the object of my writing
this letter | know Mr.. KerSh per-
sonally, and want to say to you
that he has received some compen-
sation from the government for the
loss of his lower jaw bone, which
was caused from abScessed teeth,
which became affected while in
service of our country overseas.
This compensation was discontinued
January, 1923, and he has not re-
ceived anything from the govern
ment since that time.
| am sure anything any of Mr..
Kersh's friends may say or do IN
helping him get the office of Circuit
Clerk will be greatly appreciated
by himself and mother.
/ want to say this letter was not
solicited, but was written OF the
writer's own accord, because of the
interest and sympathy he has in
and for Mr.. Kersh.

a survival from the days when men
barricaded themselves to keep enc
mics from stealing them under cover
OF darkness; it was reinforced later,
before window screens were in
vented, when malaria bearing mos
quitos entered by night through un-
closed windows. Night air is exactly
like day air and neither Of them
is anything like SO injurious as the
air in room where windows are
close and where doors are probably
never opened all night long, no mat
ter how many persons are breathing
into it carbon dioxide--and re-
breathing it-all night long.
If drafts upon the bed are feared,
they may be prevented by getting
piece of board II inches wide and
nearly as long as the window sash
is wide. Raise the lower sash, slip
the board beneath 1t and draw the
sash down upon 1t. Outside air will
travel upward between the two
sashes and spill into the room over
the top of the lower sash. This is
nothing like so satisfactory as hav-
ing the upper sash completely down,
but it will do lot for that sick
headachy feeling that you have had
