A TUBERCULOSIS CURE

From the Twice-a-Week Spokesman Review -.
Intense interest is being displayed in medical
circles at the reported discovery by DIR. George
Kirkpatrick, a Portland veterinary, of a cure for
tuberculosis. He has used it with apparent sue
cess, according to the Portland Oregonian, on
cows. Portland physicians have declared some
patients in hospitals there cured by use of the
remedy.
Seattle hospitals are being given free supplies
and will start experiments with their patients.
Canadian authorities have heard of the expert
ments and have written Mayor Baker of Portland
asking that an interview be arranged with DR..
Kirkpatrick.
1t is too early yet, of course, to say positively
that a cure has been discovered for the white
plague. Yet the Portland experiments have con-
WINGED federal inspectors, psychologists, health
officers, heads of tuberculosis sanitariums and
others that there is something to it that will bear
closer examination.
Out of two herds of condemned COWS, 20
animals were selected for the test. The 10 worst
cases We're selected and the first dose was given
March 25, 1927, and the last August 2, 1927, a
total of $50 days. Five that were given the full
test for the entire period were included in the
final experiment. The so-called cure is a body
building fluid given COWS in two-ounce doses
diluted with water.
When finally slaughtered, the animals were de-
clared to be entirely fit for consumption. While
all were "skin and bones when the experiment
was begun $50 days before, all were sleek and fat
at the conclusion. One had gained $40 pounds in
the period and others also made large gains
Workers at the plant declared they were perfect
specimens of beef animals.
1t is announced that the Kirkpatrick remedy
deals with tissues and is not considered a medicin,
for the doctoring of diseases. He prefers to cal
it a bodybuilding fluid. He makes the prediction
that the proper treatment will wipe out tuber
} ~culosis in 10 years. He may be over-enthusiastiC
The public will await further reports of the exam
} ming experts with great interest.

ATTEND THE FAIR

The Inter-Mountain fair, a Gallatin county
event of great Importance to the people of this
section, will open next Tuesday morning, August
80, and continue until the evening of September 2.
It seems needless to r~eiterate the reasons why
every man, woman and child in Gallatin county
should attend. The fair is an investment by Gal
latin people for a specific purpose-to show the
people of this county, of Montana, and of the
world what Gallatin has in the way of resources
and what Gallatin folk can do in stock raising,
agriculture, and numerous other lines of endeavor.
In other words, the Inter-Mountain fair is a
school or college for a short educational course in
efficiency, production and prosperity. AS such
it is worthy of the serious attention of the public.
Every individual in the county owes it something.
Exhibitors in great numbers have come forward
to help in making the fair a success, and now it
is the peoples turn to aid it by attending, show
ing a proper degree of interest, and gaining know
ledge and enjoyment from the object lessons
there to be found.
Each year the fair held here has grown a little
bigger, a little better. New modern buildings to
house exhibits have been provided, the grounds
improved, and the technic of operation made more
perfect. Gallatin county has many reasons to be
proud of its fair, and we hope that every resident
realizes the Importance and benefits of the expo
sitiOn. The time to show our public-spirited
interest is next week when the fair is open. Take
the family and go, and don't be afraid you won't
get your moneys worth, for you will.

including automobiles, electricity, newspapers and
bathtubs, in far greater measure than many New
England communities that there is no more like
lihoOd of finding a grizzly in this valley than on
Fifth avenue, New York, and that wild horses and
coyotes are in this section more of a curiosity
than a nuisance.
Secondly, that the city, the town, or the village
where the writer we are discussing resides would
prove a wonderfully fertile field for advertising
Bozeman and the Gallatin. We had thought that
it would never again be necessary, but if we must
convince eastern folk that we do live in houses
instead of tepees, eat with forks instead of bowie
knives, wear ordinary clothing and not buckskin
suits and coonskin caps, and do not feel called upon
to shoot a man before breakfast every morning,
We can do it. In fact, we should do it in the inter-
est of suffering humanity.

WE LOSE A GREAT MAN

The country has lost a great man in the pas
sing of General Leonard Wood, and the selection
of a successor for his post in the Philippines is a
task to stagger any chief executive.
Assigned to the Philippines at a time when
misrule under Democratic leadership had created
confusion on all sides, General Wood, with master
.ly tact and infinite patience, went to work and
rebuilt confidence in the United States and it's
sincerity of purpose.
Subject at all times to a barrage fire from men
in this country who, having never been in the
Islands, felt free to solve all the problems of the
hour, Governor General Wood was sustained from
the first by the strong right arm Of President
Coolidge. To one and all who called on him, the
president was i~nsistent on his conference in the
general and on his determination to keep him in
the islands as long as he so desired.
In his final illness, the realization that Mr..
Coolidge was awaiting only mis- Improvement in
physical condition to send him back to his post
sOftened in many ways the agonies of the generals
last hours.

MAKE ENTRIES R

The management of the Inter-
Mountain fair is anxious to give the
exhibitors and patrons the very best
service possible. There will be hun
dreds of exhibitors and thousands of
entries. A vast amount of clerical
work will be necessary to record the
entries and a competent and courteous
staff of clerks will be on hand to
take care of the work. If all the ex-
hibitOrs wait until the last day or
hour to make their entries the fair
management will not be able to give
the prompt and efficient service they
are anxious to give, and which the
public expects. If every exhibitor
would fill out his entry blank and
mail or take it to the fair office at
the earliest date possible, there would
be very little confusion and no wait
ing to make entries when the ex-
hibits are brought to the fair.
Every exhibit entered for a prem
ium must be entered on a regular
entry blank. When entering several
articles in one department one blank
can be used; however, when Compel
ing in more than one department a
blank should be used for each depart
ment. The entry blank is a ruled
form which includes the name and adj
dress Of the exhibitor, the department
letter, the premium number, and the
name of the article to be exhibited,
which must correspond with the
premium list. The entry clerks re-
cord the entry in the Judges book
and entry books which are permanent
fair records. Entry tags are also
made out, which are given to the
superintendent of the department.
When the exhibit is brought to the
department the superintendent or his
assistants attach the corresponding
tags to the entry. Unless entries are
made in advance the exhibitors must
go to the fair office and wait in line
to have their entries recorded and
the tags made out. Minutes seem like
hours when waiting in line, and this
is not conducive to the good humoi
of the exhibitors. The management
will serve the public to the btst Of
its ability under all circumstances
but cannot deliver 100 per cent ser.
vice unless the public will cooperate
by entering their exhibits before
bringing them to the fair. Entr!
blanks are given out with premium
lists and additional copies may be haC
by writing or telephoning the fail
office.

THE GALLATIN A WILDERNESS?

We received considerable of a jolt this week
when Fred F. Wilson, Bozeman's widely-known
architect, directed our attention to an article on
the Gallatin Gateway Inn which appeared in the
August 5 number of The American Architect, a
national publication. The article, the author of
which is not named, was entitled can Inn in the
Wilderness" and read in part as follows:
"On March 1, a wilderness, the haunt of the
grizzly, the wild horse and the coyote. On June
l, a hotel as handsome as an exclusive country
club.
This Alladin-like transformation in 90 days
is believed to establish a record in hotel building
in this country. The feat is even more striking
when it is considered that 40 miles of railroad had
to be reconstructed to haul the building materials.
Country so %primeval that it has been described
as the last of the American frontier presented
great difficulties to transportation of supplies"
Further on the statement was made that to
obtain power and lights a line had to be con-
structed 40 miles to the main electric line of the
Chicago, st. Paul and Milwaukee railroad"
AS the saying goes, "Can you beat it?" No, you
can't even cite" it. After more than three-score
years of strenuous effort on the partsof Gallatin
county folk to make the valley they are. proud to
call home a well-developed, civilized area, they
find it relegated at one fell swoop to the status
of a country so primeval that it has been de-
scribed as the last of the American frontier :"
the haunt of the grizzly, the wild horse and the
coyote!
Far be it from us to detract one. iota from the
credit due the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Pau
for its energy and initiative in building such
splendid hostelry as the Gallatin Gateway Inn
1t was a feat worthy of recognition, even though
the difficulties of its execution were not so spec
tacular as those attributed to it by the CORES
pendent for The American Architect.
But as for the writer of the article in question
we must say we did not believe that even in sucl
a VIGOROUSLY self-centered city as New York
there existed a person of apparently more thar
grammar school training who was so woefull,
ignorant of conditions in the West. It seem
beyond the bounds of possibility that any sucl
person, in this day of newspapers, wireless, an,
moving pictures, could be so dumb as to enter
tain the ideas set forth. But we live and learn
There is a wonderful lesson for Gallatin vale
folk in this incident. First, that there are peopl
in the world, and even in the United States. VIII
yet do not know that Jim Bridger is dead, that tn
Gallatin has been inhabited by white men an
women for more than So years, that two transcor
tinental railroads run through this county. tina
we have every modern convenience and necessity

TWO CARS IN COLLISION
AT CRELLIN ON SATURDAY
Occupants of Auto Unhurt, but
Machines are Damaged

A head-on collision on the State
highway near the Youghiogheny
River bridge at Crellin Saturday
caused considerable damage to two
cars, but none of the occupants was
seriously hurt, small cuts and lacera-
lions being the extent of any injuries
received.
The driver of the Ford car, whose
name is not known, and who had his
wife and several children with him,
did not remain near the accident long,
in fact they did not ecen wait to get
their car, according to reports, but
started walking down the road.
The driver of the Chevrolet coupe
was Ben Moon, of Terra Alta, who,
with his wife, was on his way to his
home when the accident occurred.
The Ford struck the Chevrolet with
such force, it is said, that the coupe
was showed through the guard rail
backward causing considerable dam
age to the front of it. The Ford was
damaged to the extent of almost to-
tally destroying its vlaue.

that the establishment of another milk
shipping station will be a benefit to
this community and have been work
ing on this problem to ascertain what
could be done in order to benefit the
farmer
After having made a survey of the
county, interested parties decided that
conditions were so ideal for dairying
that the dairy industry could be built
up to support two creameries.
Have you ever thought of the
amount of acreage ina radius of
only ten miles of Oakland? If you
will figure the same, your answer will
be surprising, as but one gallon of
milk will be required from every acres
of land to amount to $500 gallons of
milk in addition to what is now being
produced 1t can easily be seen that
enough feed can be grown to produce
the milk, since many hundred acres
of land in this community is now
idle but can be used for pasture and
grain fields. ~.
1t is not the purpose to destroy the
present creamery, but on the other
hand, it will benefit by the increased
production Of milk In its locality. The
milk produced IN this county will not
pass inspection to be marketed as
whole milk, and until it will pass for
whole milk, the supply will be used.
for milk products such as butter, ice
cream, cottage cheese, etc. 81
1t is not a requirement Of the new
concern moving here that conditions
around the barns be improved, but
rather State laws, and it is to our adj
vantage to improve our milking con-
ditions now rather than wait longer
when we will be, forced to make i'm
provements at greater expense.
The price for milk will be set by
agreement between the producers
association and the dairy officials and
will be agreed upon before the begin
ming of a month rather than after
the end of the month, as is now the
the case.
If competition means anything,
then it is a logical conclusion that
another milk station locate here in
order that our farmers may derive
such benefit as the two creameries will
afford. D. S. M.

TEACHING TOO LATE.

Experience is great teacher, but
sometimes the knowledge experience
gives comes too late to be of any
benefit. Such a case happened Satur-
day near Crellin and has happened
many times before even in this one
county. e In ::-s=: y ~ ~
Guy Smith, a boy of sixteen, in
company with another boy of about
the same age, were riding on coal
train between Crellin and Hutton
when the Smith boy was thrown be-
meath the wheels of the car. The
wheels severed his leg at the hip. He
died as result of his injuries Sunday
morning at the Western Maryland
Hospital in Cumberland.
This is only one Of many such cases
where young boys are endowed with
en- extreme desire to chop" a train
and enjoy a free ride. Some get by
without an accident. Experience never
teaches them anything along this
line. But others are caught beneath
the grinding wheels of cars and are
either killed or manned for life. Elk,
perience has taught them, but it has
taught them too late.
When will the time come when the
experiences of others will serve as
the personal experience of lndlvld
uals?
When this time comes, and only
then will there be let-up of rail
road accidents, automobile mlshapi
and other costly happenings contr.l
uted to by the foolhardy acts thai
result in the loss of life or the MAIN
ing of individuals following.

FITTING REWARD

A fitting reward for the success OF
the scout troop in Oakland will soon
be a reality-a permanent barracks
and dining hall for it's members along
Deep Creek Lake. The S237.50 which
has been donated by the people OF
Oakland for these two buildings
shows that they have faith in the
troop continuing to be what 1t has
been for the past three years.
Many times an attempt to organize
scout troop here failed for one
reason or another. 1t remained for
Rev. A. J. Torrey, who was formerly
rector of the Episcopalian church
here, to start things and start them
correctly in order that they might
continue. That is just what happened
and Scoutmaster Scott Shirer, who
has had charge of the scouts since
Reverend Torrey left, has held them
together very efficiently.
The troop has become important in
the community, and since being
backed by the Ladies Auxiliary and
the Court of Honor, the scouts them
selves have seemed to realize the i'm
portance of keeping on with this
great work. That they have kept or
in real earnestness is shown by the
fact that the 5000 needed to furnish
4Lox. With n nornapant can1n has
been donated easily by the Oakland
people with an extra $3.50.
The success of the Oakland troop
shows that it can be done. Why not
have more scout troops in the county
