Sensible Way To
Lose Fat


Start taking Kruschen Salts-that's
the common-sense way to reduce--but
don't take them with the idea that
they possess reducing qualities in
themselves.
This is what they do--they clean
out the impurities in your blood by
keeping the bowels, kidneys and liver
in splendid working shape and fill you
with vigor and tireless energy you'd
most forgotten had existed
As result instead Of planting your
self in an easy chair every free mo-
ment and letting flabby flat accumulate
you feel an urge for activity that keeps
you moving around doing the things
you've always wanted to do and needed
to do to keep you in good condition.
The watch the pounds slide off!
Kruschen Salts are the up-to date
Fountain of Youth Take one half tea
spoonful in glass of hot or cold water
Tomorrow morning and every morn
ing they're tasteless that way, and if
they don't change you whole idea
about reducing, go back and get the
small price you paid for them. Get an
IS cent bottle of Kruschen Salts-lasts
4 weeks at the Public Drug Store or
any progressive druggist anywhere in
the world.

OBEYED STATES MARROW

POISON, May 27.-(U.P. l-Absolute
compliance with state game and fish
laws is necessary if the 5000 miles oi

and increased paintings of game fish
and game birds.

on steps taken during 1929 to ensure
fish and game preservation Sunmar-
lied, their statements follow.

rested 430 game violators who paid a
total of $4,000 in fines.

BILLINGS, May 27-U.P)-Crip-
pied children will have summer home
IN the Beartooth mountains where
they can regain their health and
strength, if movement initiated by
DR.. l. W. Allard, orthopedic surgeon
bears fruit.
DR.. Allards proposal inspired quick
response, from Billings and Bozeman

flclent to establish camp in the Bear
tooth mountains; camp composed OF
SIX commodious dormitory cabins cap
able OF accommodating between so and
ou children at one time. Once the Camp
is established, it will be easy enough
to obtain funds to operate it, the Bill

cipal difficulty will be to sufficient
initial impetus to raise the $4,000
needed at once.
DR.. Allard went on to describe how
such camp would give scores of NAL
formed little children, weakened by
medical care and operations, quick
road to recovery and health.

Granite Lake Surveyed for Dam Site
Harold Townsend, assistant regional
engineer, is here from Missoula. and
has completed the surveying of Granite
Lake for the Glacier Silver Lead Mine

termine the adaptability of the lake to

power facilities. Mr.. Townsend states
that such dam is feasible. The dam
will sustain the flow of the stream and
bolster It up during the low water pe-
RODS, thus allowing the mine to oper-
ate at full capacity all the year long.
Granite lake is one of the most
beautiful lakes in the Northwest y
stated Mr. Townsend Tuesday. The
