Parentitis is nefarious disease.
It afflicts large numbers of males

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-Rv Dr. Louis p. Risch-


TNHE really busy man always
\ has time. And the reason he
can always find time if he wants
to is because he has learned the
value of time and has practiced
conserving it.
Many Of us, however, are spend
thrifts with our time. We waste
it. We jump from this thing TO
that. We do not plan sufficiently.
We hesitate, doubt, tumble. We
lack system. We act. in short, as
though time existed in super
abundance and that 1t did not
matter what we cid with 1t.
We behave the same way with
regard to money.
We get used to high wages and
the accumulation of money very
quickly. We think in terms OF
millions and billions. Being sur
rounded on all sides with giant
enterprises, entailing enormous
wealth, we lose our sense of value
and hold a dollar too lightly.
Likewise do we behave In
spendthrift manner where health
is concerned.
If we engage in exercise we ex-
ercise too violently and too long.
We drink poison liquor. We
smoke too much. We keep late
hours, get up tired in the morn
lngs and overdo the social racket.
We stand up eating our meals
and discuss business at the same
time. We grab a sandwich" eat
most anything that is filling, and
think we can make up for it with
a big dinner" in the evening. We
forget how to relax. We neglect
the very essentials for health and
strength.
Am I exaggerating the picture?
I think not.
Is it not true that too many

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
Mans Santa Claus Complex
BY Helen Rowland.

Mans Santa Claus Complex
CHRISMAS is the golden chance
of a mans life to shine in his
favorite role of Santa Claus!
Yet, it is the one time in all
the year when he is sure to fall
down on the job, and to get
paralysis of the imagination.
This is because he knows that
a woman is EXPECTING some
thing of him and the rule of his
life is never to do anything that
g. woman expects or demands,
The only way to make aoso-
lutely sure that a. man will do
anything that you want him 10
do. dear heart, is to keep telling
him that he mustn't" or that
he "oughtn't" or that he
shouldn't" And that applies
to EVERYTHING, from falling in
love with you to giving you an
epnine coat or n Rolls Royce.
Every normal man loves 20

He delights TO surprise" her; TO
give her a two hundred dollar
radio when she is pinins for
ten dollar hat; or to send her

A man will generously and joy
ouslv give a woman anything on

pens to ASK for il. But nothing
so quickly takes all the edge off
his enthusiasm and kills his gen

Nothing makes any man so in
dgnqnt, as to discover that a
woman thinks she has a claim
on his affections, his thoughts,
his kisses or his pocketbook.

USES AN AIRPLANE
TO OVERHAUL TRAIN

When an airplane siren was
heard above the city about nine
O'Clock Friday evening, people
thought that the Always Corpor-
alton had added a new piece of
equipment to their Travelaire
plane. The plane proved to be
one owned by the Vance Air SER
vice, Great Falls, and was piloted
by Byron Cooper. c. A. Peterson
of Brainerd, called home by the
serious illness of his wife saved
IL hours by taking the plane
from Great Falls here to catch
Number -Four. He left Great Falls
at 6:15, making the trip in a lit
tie less than three hours. To
come by train it would have been
necessary to leave Great Falls at
seven in the morning.
People who saw the landing
made by Pilot Cooper, say that it
was beautifully done considering
the fact that it was after dark
and that the landing field was

HIWAY ENGINEERS
VISIT

(Contlnued from first pagel
two projects under contract. one
of approximately ten miles be-
tween Fallon and Terry, a sec
ond of almost identical length
near Burns The tentative sche-
dule for 1929 provides for gravel
ing these projects before new
work is undertaken.
Wolf Point Bridge This Fall
Meanwhile, the Commission
plans to start construction this
fall of the Wolf Point bridge, with
an incidental highway project of
six miles. Part of this work is
IN the local district and must be
financed in some degree with To-
cal gas tax money.
Following completion of the
crawling projects and the Wolf
Point bridge, the tentative 1929
schedule provides for grading a
new project, either west from Ter
ry to the Custer county line, or
near Sidney in Richland county.
Local citizens reviewed the his
tory of Federal Aid highway con-
struction in Dawson county, show
ing that thus for no state funds
have been expended here during
the two seasons since the present
gas tax was adopted. They point
ed out the Importance of the Cir
cle-Glendive highway, not only to
local traffic, but to cross-state
travel thru central Montana as
well: and made a strong and unit
ed plea for early construction of
the approved Federal route from
Glndive to Circle.
A Definite Promise
Following a detailed discussion.
Commissioner Mulvaney promised
definitely that a grading project /
of at least ten miles would be
contracted on this route, starting
from the Glendive end. not later
than May first, 1929.
Commissioner Mulvaney and
Chief Engineer RAIDER also assured
those resent that survey of the
route between Glendive and
would be completed this
summer, so that Dawson county's
Commissioners would be in posi-
ton to plan their 1929 highway
program properly.
