WORK OF SMOOTH SWINDLERS
Farmers Around sioux Falls Being
Induced 10 Sign "Ccnsus Blanks"
That Are Checks.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Jan. 9.-(Special.)-
The authorities in several localities in tho
state ar on the watch for some smooth
swindlers who have been victimizing care
less people by means OF new and unique
schemes. Some of the swindlers are work
ing the census" fake. They visit the rural
regions armed with blank forms similar
to those which census enumerators had and
claim they are after additional informatio
for the census bureau. They have a
blank line at the bottom of the sheet which
they induce their victims TO sign. 1t Is
afterward filled out with ink in the form
Of promissory note and sold at the
nearest bank.
Another scheme ~ a somewhat similar
nature Is worked by men who pretend 20
be chicken buyers The farmers sign con-
tract to deliver their chickens upon a GER
tain date, for which they are to receive
s cents per pound. They later discovered
that instead OF having signed contracts
they have signed notes, which are disposed
of at a slight discount at some bank in n
nearby town, where the signsrs are per-
sonally known. One bank in . town near
the Missouri river already has cashed many
OF such notes. Under various court de-
cisions the banks arc considered innocent
purchasers and the signers are compelled
to pay them.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE.
Not Necessary in Order to Cure
Catnrrh.

The popular idea that the only cure for
chronic catarrh is a change of climate is n
mistake because catarrh Is found in all eli
mates in all sections OF the country; and
even II a change of climate should benefit
for time, the catarrh will certainly re-
turn,
Catarrh may he readily cured in any
climate, but the only way to do IL Is to
destroy or remove from the system the ca
tarrhal germs which cause all the mis-
chief.
The treatment by inhalers. sprays, pow
dcrs and washes has been proven almost
useless In making a permanent cure, as
they do not reach the seat of disease which
Is in the blood and can be reached only by
an internal remedy which acts through the
stomach upon the blood and system gener-
ally.
new discovery which is meeting with
remarkable success In curing catarrh of
the head. throat and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh OF the stomach, is sold by
druggists under the name of Stuarts Ca
tarrh Tablets.
These tablets, which are pleasant and
harmless to take, owe their efficiency to the
active medicinal principles of Blood Root
Red Gum and a new specific called Guaiacol
which together with valuable antiseptics are
comblncd IN convenient, palatable tablet
form, and as valuable for children as for
adults.

My nostrils were almost always clogged

causing an innamed. irritated throat. The
thought of eating breakfast often nauseateC
me and the catarrh gradually getting into
