that 1t would be too dark to see the

Brain.Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
lies. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part Of the
body, but 1t will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good yonr food may be, Its
nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their
appearance or prevent their coming ay

Flower, the favorite medicine Of the

Butler Bubbles.

During a thunder storm last Friday
the barn belonging to Mr.. Zimmerman,
who lives five miles west, was struck by
lightning. A large hole was torn in
the roof, boards ripped OFF in several
places and thrown several rods, doors
and windows smashed and the whole
building badly wrecked. Mr.. thinner
mans five horses and some calves were
inside and strange to relate none of
them were injured. The hay was set
ON fire, but was extinguished before
much damage was done.
Mr.. Goodell and wife, of Huron, have
been visiting their sons family here for
the past week. They were very much
pleased with the amount of business our
little town is doing, and with the coun-
try generally.

A Typical South African Store.

o. X. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts a store
typical of South Africa, at which can be
purchased anything from the proverbial
"needle to an anchor" This store is sit
uated In a valley nine miles from the
nearest railway station and about TWEEN
ty-fiye miles from the nearest town. MIR.
Larson says: 81 am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius of
thirty miles, to many OF whom l have
supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All
testify to their value In a household
where a doctors advice is almost out OF
the question. Within one mile of my
store the population is perhaps sixty. OF
these, within the past twelve months, no
less than fourteen have been absolutely
cured by Chamberlain's cough remedy.
