MONTANA NOW
BOASTS BEST

on civic administration, in an adj
dress here.
DIR. Hatton, who is assisting in
the preparation of a measure pro-
viding for the consolidation of the
governments of Butte and Silver
Bow county, has been called in con-
sultation on practically every char.
ter or any Importance drafted In the
United States during the last five
years and has drafted the charters
Tor the ctty.manager governments
of Cleveland, Atlanta, New Haven,
New London, Conn; Wichita Falls,
Tex, and Minneapolis.
The finest piece OF constructive
legislative of this type thus far
enacted by any State" is his char
acterization of Montana's new
law"
"Other States have made amend
nents and passed some laws pro-
viding for city county consolida-
> tion," he said, but have gone only
part Of the way. They have only
partially succeeded in doing away
with the old restrictions that pre-
vent them from obtaining the full
est measure of efficiency and econ
orny in administration. Unlimited
possibilities for civic progress are
contained in the new Montana law
by which the Treasure State should
blaze the trail for the country. APP
parently the amendment has left
no obstacles in the path of coun-
ties and cities that wish to con-
solidate. Out here in Montana you
can be at least two years ahead of
any State in the Union in securing
the administrative improvements
in county government, the legisla-
ton for which a dozen others are
still working on and hoping to

Christian Science Practical Method Of
Healing, Says Hayes

Science Ii eninentIy and absolutely
practical 1T has proven this BY
successful application to the heal
ing Of thousands Of cases Of dis
ease diseases which have been
diagnosed, classified, and desig-
mated BY learned doctors Of nedi-
cine, and in many and many cases
pronounced by them incurable.
Christian Science is based upon
q Divine principle and rule from
which there is no deviation. Some
students may not completely grasp
this principle or thoroughly under
stand the rule or its application,
but to classify it as theoretical
as well might one classify the
science OF numbers as purely theo-
retical because some student was
unable to successfully demon
strate a practical and everyday
problem of applied mathematics
In closing. it may be of interest
to your readers to know that the
case against the 'sunfortunate
father" was dismissed by the court
when 1t came to trial because the
evidence did not warrant the
