The June number OF the North Amer
lean Review contains q remarkably
clever article on Popular Errors in
Living" by DR.. Charles w. Purdy, who
maintains that it is high time more
widespread and efficient measures were
adopted for the purpose OF educating
the general public In those physiolog-
ical laws, the observance of which
moet surely conserve the bodily health,
erect the strongest barriers against the
encrOachments of disease. and thus
conduce to the attainment OF long life.
The Decoration day services were
carried out In accordance with the

issue, we're Of an impressive character,
and we're attended by large concourse
o: people. The address OF Ira. L Nich-

much interest In the details OF the

We present to our readers this week
q number Of new ads and . somewhat
different arrangement OF several of the
old ones. Our advertising columns are
worthy Of your careful attention, and
1t Is worth your while to patronize the
the men of enterprise and public spirit
who thus show their appreciation Of q
good home newspaper. We could easily
procure columns of advertising from
Sioux City and outside parties In COM
petition to our home merchants, and
have refused overtures of this kind
since the new management took pos,
session of the COURIER. We shall con-
tinue to do 90, because We believe it is
good policy to stand by home institu-
tions just a. long as they stand by you,
and q glance at our advertising COL
umns this week will show any one we
have nothing to complain Of In this re-
gard. Trade at home, and trade with
the men who advertise. and you will
make no mistake.
A special to the Minneapolis Journal
says that the little town Of Davis, q
few miles northwest Of Ysnkton, where
the vote was solid for Bryan last fall,
and where they drove out republican
campaign speakers for advocating
principle that would ruin business, is
enjoying q season Of prosperity just as
II Bryan were president and Cheap
dollars were rolling out Of the mints
by the wagon load. The Davis Globe,
populist, tells Of the establishment Of
hank, and says: ''There are no vacant
stores or buildings now. Several new
buildings will soon be erected and lum-
Dor dealers report the sale Of more
lumber than since the town was estab-
lished." This seems to be the prevail
ing condition at all the small towns.
Lumber dealers are selling q great
deal Of lumber to farmers, and, what IL
still better, they are selling for cash.
