Mrs. Baker is one of the most active

rugs aud other luxuries about the
Home testify. She was heartily re.
ceived and greeted by the boys.
The members who have children at
their homes in town were provided
with chickens for thanksgiving. Those
who have no children were invited to
bring their wives to the Home for din
ner. At three tables in the dining
room they vera seated with the COM
maudant, matron, surgeon, quarter
master and a%djutant. 1t was a happy
aud genial family of 200 old men and
women, enjoying the good things of
earth.
We gave thanks at the Home and

Elan Horner, Co. f, 18th Ill. Init,
Came to the Home one day last week
from Custer; was admitted and as
signed quarters. Next morning he
presented himself in the office and
asked for a discharge. On being asked
why he wanted to get out SO soon he
said, ~ never slept a wink all night.
Room was too hot, men snored and be-
sides in the morning they accused me
of snoring and grating my teeth. 1t is
a nice place but l can't stand the sur.

OFFICIAL PAPER Of CITY AND COUNTY.

The middle west has no particular
interest in irrigation, particularly the
two states of North and South Dakota.
Irrigation is neither practical nor nee
essary for the principal crops of these
states, while the system for which gov
ernment aid is asked would serve to
increase the nations surplus of wheat.
This is a narrow view. of course, but
while the people OF the Dakotas are
too broad minded to oppose legislation
for the benefit of any section of their
common country, they cannot be made
to believe that they are vitality inter
ested in the scheme or that it would
confer any particular advantage upon
them. With individuals who are per-
sonally interested in the reclaiming of
arid tracts it is diiferent-Aberdeen
News.
The STAR is somewhat surprised at
the statements ma lie by the News. We
fear that IN" News has expressed such
q very "narrow view" that it does not
even GOl!ni.ef VIC interests OF Its OwE
state. We supposed that everyone.
e tAe News, knew that irrigation
was necessary in .th.. western portion
of the state to make certain of grow
ing crops. West OF The Missouri river
is as certainly in the arid belt as j.
Wy oming, Colorado and other ari 1
states. No argument is necessary to
convince the News OF this, we are SUR.
and we hope that paper is not going t.,
use it's iniluenca-w,,ich we Emow
counts for much-agaiust IL measure
which tho western portion OF South
Da kota is SO greatly interested in.

by Mrs. 1. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,

she constantly grew worse. Then she
began to use Electric Bitters which

The Mining Mems association of the
Black Hills has started out with COM
mendabie enthusiasm to urge that
South Dakota should have it's resourc.
es properly exhibited at the st. Louis
exposition, and is naturally first inter
ested i'll having Il good Black Hills
mineral exhibit. Our last legislature
did not make al appropriation for a
building or exhibit of any kind at this
exposition, and now the Mining Mems
asso citation is urging that a special
session of the legislature be called
that an appropriation may be made
for the construction of a building at
the st. Louis exposition. The STAR
has expressed itself concerning having
SO many eA positions over the country,
yet since it is going to be, whether we
like it or rot, We should like to have
South Dakota make c~ommendable
showing. We hardly believe, however,
that the people of the state would
ST nction the calling of IL special ses-
sion to make such appropriation. The
expense OF the session alone would be
about as much as the necessary appro-
priation. No doubt The exposition
man agement will have ample provis.
ion for all the exhibits that are sent
and W., are not sure hat it is about the
best way to advertise our
after all place our along
side OF :acsc from either states. in the
same building. Let each county of
our state arrange such an exhibit of
its mineral and agricultural
as it desires and send them to st.
Louis. LII the governor would then ap-
point a commission we have no doubt
bat the coming session of the legisla-
fure would make an appropriation to
CO yeT the expense of looking after the
exhibit. AT any rate we believe that
the Mining Mems association, much as
we sympathize with their desires for
having Il proper representation, must
seek some other method for raising
necessary funds than by a special ses-
sion of the legislature.

President Roosevelt has always been
regarded as a "western man, He lived.
long enough IN the west and practiced
western ways upon tine range, long
enough, at least, to know the needs of
the west. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that he endorses the demand for
government aid to irrigation-for the
establishment of reservoirs for storing
water. His support of the project gives
much hope for having something C
complished that will aid in redeeming

oND1T Is UPON Us.

The winter is opening with so many
evidences of smallpox over the west
that fear of al epidemic is not an un-
reasonable one 1t is evident that
quarantine regulations in vogue are in
sufficient, both local and state, ana
this applies to all localities. Smallpox
is everywhere and it goes without hind
rance from community to community.
Every ~unvaccinated person is liable to
become a victim of the disease and
there are many who have omitted the
precaution.
There is a state organization known
as IL board of health, which has never,
so far, been overworked. There are
local boards of health in every city
and county. These official ~orgauiza-
tions should enter Upon some syste-
matte. statewide plan for checking
and stamping out the %virulent disease
before it asserts itself too strongly.
The governor of the state might take
initiative and lead some sanitary pro-
jet for the protection of the public.
Vaccination should be enforced. 1t
is an absolute safeguard and though
there is objection against the pre-
g u'iam VI 'ome qnarters, it is founded
moro u.,nn prejudice than sound Teas-
onins. Under general vaccination
s'aallnoN one a fr;ghtful scourge, had

Uni @: States that the necessity for
va Gina ION seemed obsolete. A gen
era on i!as therefore grown up which
has largely neglected to render itself
immune. AS IL result, smallpox is
again invading all sections and is find
ins plenty of unprotected victims.
There is very little sense in avoiding
a subjebt because it is disagreeable, or
because it contains the clements of
panic, or because it may work injury
in n commercial sense. The courage.
Gus way TO meet the situation is to
openly recognize the necessity for the
adoption of precautionary and curative
measures and then employ and enforce
them.
A most important measure of pre-.
paration is the creation of hospitals
where patients may be as comfortably
treated as in their own homes, for
much depends upon warmth sand care
and proper appliances in cases of this
nature. The average pest house is All
invitation to fatality and is stunned
by the friends aud relatives of those
who have contracted the disease, even
to the extent of Justification and per
jury. With adequate hospital provi-
sion, all concerned would prefer such
a resort to home treatment.
The Press can conjure up no reason
for treating this subject in Il gingerly
way. 1t is Il condition to be met open.
ly and discussed in the light of science
and acted upon with %iudicious regard
for the necessities of the emergency.
With we'll directed effort the disease
will disappear. for it is absolutely with

is to enforce we'll known requirements
1t seems necessary for this to be- ac-

THE ROUND SHOULDERED CHILD.

1t isn't easy to grow fast and keep
straight at the same time. Many
man of military erectness was a
STOPPING, awkward figure in his teens.
In such cases it is a comfort to know
that the tree is not always inclined as
the twig is bent. But if the boy is not
making rapid growth, if he is under
sized and pallid, as we'll as slouching,
then his crookedness is the result of
lack of vitality; and it can be cured,
not by telling him to straighten up,
but by making his muscles so strong
that they will find it an easy task to
keep his frame erect. It is a pity
that SO many kinds of farm work tend
to reduce the distance between the
chin and the waist, but there are GER
tain recreations that have an opposite
tendency.
regret that his boy was round
shouldered, said nothing to him about
it but purchased for himself bat and
small rubber ball. Then, at leisure
moment in the evening went out in
the yard, sent the ball straight up in
the air and continued to send it up
without allowing it to touch the
ground. The boy, who observed his
fathers skill with admiration, soon
wished to emulate it, and found the
amusement fascinating. And thus
unconsciously loutish, lumpish boy
was transformed into straight youth,
with quick alert eye and great pre-
cision of movement
Young people object to being too
frequently reminded of their personal
defects, but they are universally SEN
sitive to public opinion. 1 have
noticed an awkward boy unconscious
ly straighten himself when his mother
remarked that young Smith would be
a handsome fellow if he only knew
how to carry himself, and that nobody
noticed whether the Jones boy had an
ugly face or not, as he held himself so
well.-ErchGnge.
