GOVERNMENT WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST FRAUDULENT RADIOACTIVE REMEDIES The alleged medical efficacy of slightly radioactive waters and other slightly radioactive preparations has been found to be much misrepresent ed, say officials of Ithe bureau of chemistry of the JJnited Stabes de partment of agriculture, who, in the enforcement of the federal Food and Drugs act, have made a nation-wide survey of waiters and drugs alleged to be radioactive. The products analyzed for content of radium included hair tonics, bath compounds, suppositories, tissue creams, tonic tablets, face powders, ointments, mouth washes, demulcents, opiates, opthalmic solutions, healing pads and other preparations in solid, semi-solid and liquid form for which therapeautic value because of alleged radioactivity was claimed. Only 5 per cent of the products analyzed and claimed Ito be radioactive contained radium in sufficient quantities to en title them to consideration as thera peutic agents and then only in cer tain very limited conditions, say the officials. Highly exaggeraited therapeutic claims obviously designed to mislead the purchaser are being made for many of the products which contain little or no radium. One of the sam ples examined consisted of a short glass rod coajted on one end with a yellow substance and enclosed in a glass bulb. The bulb is designed to be hung over the bed and according to the claims of the inventor causes dispersion of "all thoughts and worry about work and troubles and brings contentment, sat is f auton and bodily peace ful, resitful sleep. Action will be taken under the fed eral Food and Drugs act against shipments of .the alleged radioactive products which are falsely or fraud ulently misbranded. A warning re garding the indiscriminate use of those few products which are highly radioactive is also sounded by the of ficials. 99 SCARFS Hand Painted to Order with Paintex Apply at 404 SOUTH TRACY AVE uautiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiaiiiiiiiiiiiitiaiiaiiaitaiiiniiiiiiiiiina Store Fixtures and Millwork Windows, Doors, Built in Cab inets for the home.

"Tlyj distribution. to the g|pn.^ral public without discrimination or ade quate supervision of highly radioac tive products or «the devices for ren dering water or other substances highly radioactive," says the depart ment, " is of very questionable pro priety since radium in active dosage is potent for harm as well as for good and should be administered with great caution. WORLD-TOURING BUICK TO ARRIVE BOZEMAN TODAY The Buick car, which has already completed a trip around the world and which is now calling on every Buick dealer in the United States will reach Bozeman itoday, it # is an nounced by R. H. Roman of the Boze man Auto company. To greet the car, which has en circled the globe without a driver, a local committee composed of MCyot Edmund Burke ? City Manager Fred Brown, L. E. Hathaway, manager of the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce; Fred Wilson of the Chronicle and W. W. Casper of the Courier, with of ficials of ithe Bozeman Auto company, will meet the car at Belgrade and escort it into the city. Every BuicK owner is (also invited to participate Bozeman Auito company's office at 10 o'clock. According to Mr. Roman, the globe trotting Buick encircled the world without a permanent driver or me chanic, making tiie trip in less time that that consumed by the round-the world fliers. The car was passed from the hands of one Buick dealer to the next entirely around its big circle—some 350 drivers (taking a turn at its steering wheel before it returned to New York, its official starting point. The car, a Standard Six touring model, also completed the trip without needing a repair or replacement of any part enroute, though it had tthe assurance of Buick Authorized Service during all of its journey. Every one of its nearly 20, 000 land miles was within the sales and service territory of some Buick dealer. The trip around the world was planned to demonstrate that a Buick will stand the driving of all kinds of drivers and the punishment of all kinds of roads. All Buick motor cars have their operating parts, including the engine "sealed" to protect them from road dirt and grit. C. F. WERTZ HERE. C. .F.
