COuldWhpHiS Weight
In Wild Cats, Says Cole

Everything I ate seemed to turn
to gas in my stomach and blOated me
up until I felt like my heart would
jump out of my body. I even tried
dieting for a long time but suffered
right on just the same. Dizzy spells
would come over me and last for
hours at a time. and I'd got so weak
and nervous I'd shake like a leaf and
pains would run through my arms
and limbs. I was just almost past
going.
"But before I had taken half a bot
tie Of Karnak I was improving right
along, and by the time I finished my
second bottle I had gained seven
pounds and could hardly realize I
was the same person. My stomach
seems in perfect cOndition-nOt a
particle Of gas or Indigestion, and
I'm so full Of new life and energy I
feel like I could whip my weight in
wild cats. I tell you, I just can't say
enough for Karnak for putting me in
such fine condition"
INSIST ON KARNAK
If your local druggist cannot yet
supply you with Karnak, tell him
to get It for you from his Wholesale
Drug House. Or, order Karnak by
mail from Broadway Pharmacy,
Billings; Model Rexall Stores, Great
Falls; Parchen Drug Co., Helena:
Smith Drug Stores, MissOula; or any
druggist in Butte or Anaconda. The
small price is only $1.1O a bottle.

EISS EMMA WADEEN, a wO-
IA/a man well versed in the law,
AVA has contributed an article to
the June number of The Montana
Woman, which should be read by ev-
cry woman in our state. Club women
receive the above mentioned paper,
and will be familiar with the article
to which I refer; but there are many
women who T not members, and do
not see The Montana Woman, yet
are in need of the very information
Miss Madden gives.
Women have been accustomed I'M
til of late, to turn all matters per-
tanning to business and politics over
to the male members of their fam
lilies. This is no longer possible
since women vote and economic
changes have forced many of them
out of their homes in order to be
W-age-earners.
It is difficult for the majority OF
men do not enter the business fOrld
in economics, to understand that wO-
men do not ether the business world
because of a desire to do something
outside the home. They engage il
outside work in order to contribute
their share toward the support of the
family. Miss Madden has made this
fact clear in the opening of her arti
ole, entitled, Montana Laws tina
are of Peculiar Interest to Women.
She says in part, Scarcely more
than a hundred years ago, the EN-
plOyment of women outside of tn,
home was an exception. But thel
each home was a workshop = = =
Little money was then required ever
for raw materials. But with the in
ventiOn of the %cOttOngin, the spin

~structive, If any practical way had
been advanced for stopping the
wheels Of progress, and RELOCATING
women to their position of a hun
dred years ago. Montana women,
like women elsewhere, r reluctant
to leave their homes, but are not
strong enough to Withstand the "eco-
nOmic pressure mentioned by Miss
Madden, which has US all in it's re-
lentless grasp.
An English woman, it is reported,
is coming to Montana, or is already
here, for the purpose Of devOting the
summer to mountain climbing in
Glacier park. Her name is Miss Pill

nacle Club Journal" official publ
cation for an organization cOmpris-
ing English women mOuntaineers.
She is also a member of the Alpine
Club Of London, whose members
must have climbed 80 mountains TO-
900 feet in height above sea level
The coming Of Miss Pilley will serve
to stimulate the Montana hiking
clubs composed of women. There is
one of these in MissOula whose mem.

Laws governing the issue Of building

be difficult to understand for the au-

BrandJOrd, registrar Of state lands, Fund
amentally, the statutes now governing such
bond issues are sound and WhOlesOme:
they provide for the gradual Repayment Of
the money borrowed either on the amorti-
zatiOn plan or on the social plan, pre-
ferably the amortization plan; but con-
fusion arises in numerous cases in the
proceedings under these statutes.
"Part Of the statutes relating to these
bond issues are contained in the revised
codes Of Montana Of 1921; but many Of
these provisions are amended and others
repealed by chapter 15S Of the 1928 ses-
sion laws and chapter 3S Of the same
session laws, giving preference to amOrti-
cation bonds, must be read and studied to-
gether with chapter 153.
ct is suggested" said Mr.. BrandjOrd,
"that school districts contemplating such
bond issues might possibly save themselves
a great deal Of unnecessary trouble by sub
hitting the bonding question to be voted
upon to the attorney general or the regis
trar Of state lands before placing the Ques-
ton on the ballots and voting thereon. Err
rOrs in the form Of submitting the bonding
question to the voters cannOt subsequent

powers granted by the voters at the cleo
