Last Saturday was generally observed
by the Jews of the Hills as the sacred
day Of atonement in the Jewish
calender. The day is designated by a
name, which to us is an photographed
connumdrum, the solution of which is
beyond our ken. journalistic ortIlo-
graphers Of the Hills differ, leaving us
helplessly atloat upon u sea of uncer-
tainty, without courage necessary TO
hazard an attempt to reach the proper
combination. The Deadwood Times
renders it "Yom Kiper," the Pioneer,
'Jom Eipor," the Rapid Journal, "Yom
hippgr,' and for reasons corresponding
eun ours, the Rapid Republican gives it
ii wide birth. and declines any mention
of it whatever. For future reference it
might come handy to know how to spell
il, therefore we trust that some expert
Israelite may come to the rescue and
vouchsafe the desired information.

A Good Medicine Which every Family
Should he Provided With.

AAObiA w
There Is no medicine 50 often needed
| in every household rs a good reliable
liniment such aS Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. Hardly a week pa.aes but some
member of the family has need of it
for some ailmcnt. Il toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain Of Il burn or Scald
| promptly relieved, and the sore healed
in much ess time than when medicine
has to he sent for. \ sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation
sets in, which in,ures Il cure in about
one third of the time otherwise re-
CURED. Cuts and bruises should re-
cciye immediate treatment before the
parts become swollen, which can only
be done when the Pain Balm is kept on
hand. a sore throat may be cured be-
fore it becomes serious. a trouble
some corr may be removed by apply
ing it twice a day for q week or two.
Quinsey and glandular swellings may
be suppressed before matter has begun
to form in them. Boils are often the
result of an injury and may be prevent
ed by timely treatment. A lame back
may be cured and several days Of valu-
able time saved. A pain ia the side or
chest relieved without paying u doctor
bill. When sc much pain and suffering
may be saved by the trivial outlay Of
fifty cents, il is certainly surprising that
any family would do without such a
remedy. The fact is, few of those who
have used Chamberlain's Pain Balm are
willing to be without it.
A Kansas City travelling man says
Chamberlain's Pain Balm enables him
to carr 81, 200 per year. 1t cured him
Of neuralgia with which he had been an
almost constant sufferer.
A. II. Elliott of South Cedar, Kansas,
says: My father who lives near me
was thrown from Il buggy, and nearly
killed, Chamberlain's Pain Balm saved
his life"
Mr.. VIM. Westlake, q prominent
farmer and stock-raiser nea AvoCa,
Neb., was so badly injured by being
thrown from a suiky, that he could not
raise his hand TO his head, by using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, he entirely
recovered the use of his arm in two
weeks time, which enabled him to ex.
hibit his stud of horses AT the fair and
