GOOD ADVICE.

Constipation clouds more lives than al
most any other disease. One of the great
est orators once gave this most impor-
tant advice: keep your bowels open and
your head COOL Any sensible person
will agree that keeping the bowels open
and cieansed is absolutely essential to
good health. Don't take pills and harsh
purgatives that only aggravate the
trouble, but try Chase's Constipation
Tablets. They will cure you to stay
cured. These tablets are put up in neat
watch shaped bottles which just fit the
vest pocket. Price twenty five cents.

SOUTH DAKOTA
GAIN 100 PER CENT
How Deposits in National Banks
Have Increased in the Last
Four Years.
Capital of South Dakotans in Banks
Amounts to Over $40 for Each
Resident.
Special to The Journal.


Mitchell, S: D, Aug: 1a-George A.
Silsby, national bank examiner, has just
compiled a statement Of the condition Of
the national banks in South Dakota and
compared it with the situation four years
ago. Mr.. Silsby was prepared to find a
heavy increase, but not to the extent in
dicated He says: ..
In January, 1899, there were twenty
five: national banks in South Dakota,
while now there are fifty-seven. The COM
para alive statement given herewith shows
the totals Of the smaller number for 1899,
and of the full number for 1908. Last
year our crops were seriously impaired by
frosts, which materially reduced the vol
ume Of deposits and compelled many who
usually had balances with the banks, to
borrow money to tide them over. But
Notwithstanding deposits show a gain
over 1899 Of more than 100 per cent. The
twenty-five banks alone made gain of
63 per cent.
The following statement gives the con-
ditions of the national banks from Janu-
airy, 1899, to July 1, 1903:

Loss at La Crescent.
LA CRESCENT, MINN.-A suit for s10,-
600 has been started by Daniel Webster,
the owner Of the Toledo wooden mills,
against Peter Ferguson, the representative
of four insurance companies doing bust
ness in the state without licenses.
A short time ago the mills owned by
Mr.. Webster were burned. The loss, about
$4,000, was partly covered by $4,000 in
surance In the four companies represented
by Mr.. Ferguson The companies did
not make any payments to the holder of
the policies and refused to correspond with
him.
The contention Of the attorneys is that,
under the state law, the agent of compa-
MES doing business in the state without
license IS responsible personally for the
losses sustained by the policy holders
thru the failure Of the companies to make
good.

having a capital Of $4,000 each,' said
Mr.. Silsby. 1T is hard to tell which
banks are the most successful, the ones
with the large or the small capital, as
all are doing a splendid business. 1t is
noticeable that within the past few years
many farmers are becoming stockhold-

banks, which certainly shows that the
agriculturist IS getting on easy street and
has money to invest in legitimate enter
