sine Of his death. His occupation was
prize fighting. He was very good cat,
peaceful and quiet in the daytime, but
very noisy and f1ghtful at night. His
mother died when he was very young
His sisters ana brothers, three in num-
Der, also died when they were young,
thus leaving Nigereta alone in the
world. He took up the occupation Of
prize fighting and was seemingly very

Aberdeen. S. D., Sept. 16.-The open

school in this city for it's second yeal
IS marked by q largely increased at
enhance, despite the fact that the new
lormitory will not be completed until
December. The students are in the
meantime comfortably housed with
private families. When the dormitory
opens the enrolment will increase about
forty at once, and it is expected to
reach over 200 before the end Of the
school year. The industrial feature is
being made stronger this year, the
legislature having appropriated funds
to make this possible. The faculty has
been increased from eight to fourteen
teachers, and the normal features arc
of the highest standard.
Nearly an inch of rain fell at tho
close OF the week and again stopped
thrashing for number of days. Frost
has been predicted for several days by
the weather bureau for this region, but
none has come. 1t would do no harm
Of consequence if it did come, there
being nothing but an occasional piece
OF very late corn or flax that it could
Nurt.

RACE OF GIANTS AGAIN.
University Professor Finds Food
That Makes Bio Folks,

Chicago, Sept. 18-The age of the
race Of giants is about to be ushered In
again. Henceforth there Will be no
| pygmies, for wonderful food sub
stance has been discovered that makes
men and animals grow-grow fast and
large.
| The myths that have come down from
ancient days tell Of races Of giants
which Inhabited the earth or dwelt in
| the islands of the sea. History, as con-
| structed from old records and folk lore,
Is filled with stories of Goliaths and
Simpsons, to say nothing of Hercules.
Science has proved that the animals Of
the earth were once far larger than at
present.
The giant races may all return as the
result Of the newly discovered food sub
stance which stimulates growth SO
rapidly. The new food is lecithin It's
wonderful qualities have Just been
demonstrated by q series of expert
ments conducted by DR.. Shinkishi
Hatai, professor Of neurology at the
University Of Chicago. DR.. Hatai ex-
perimented with white rats, and by
feeding them lecithin made them grow
SO per cent. faster than rate grow or
dinarily And this under conditions
Of atmosphere and general surround
lngs that were unfavorable The sci
entlsts say that lecithin will have a
similar effect on human beings.
The New Food.
Lecithin is an organic phosphorus-con-
tanning body found In various animal it's
sues. 1t is brown, butter-like substance.
with an odor like that Of rancid fat.
The results Of DR.. Haitals experiments.
which he puts forth through the American
Journal OF Physiology, are in part as fol-
lows:
The white rats that received lecthin:
either by intramuscular injection or by
The mouth, gained In body weight more
apidly than those which did not receive
his food, the average gain being 60 per
cent. greater than was noted In the rats
ed on plain grain diets.
The relative weight of the central nerv-
BUS systems Of the rats treated with
ecithin was normal
The nervous systems Of the rats treated
with lecithin contained the same proper
Ion OF water and solids as those of other
rats.
The professors experiments show,
therefore. that the growth induced by
ecithin Is normal and healthy. It stimu-
!ates all parts and organs of the body
exactly alike, thus acting unlike other
Itimulants, which affect different organs

"A Bows Victow.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. 14.-Orbra
Young, the 1O-year-old son of Lester
Young, Of this place, is a bright boy,
and one who is very well liked by all
who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered
a great deal with a form Of Kidney
Trouble which was very annoying, and
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night almost all his life.
His father heard Of remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow, with the result
that he is now completely cured of the
old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now I can sleep all
night without having to get up. We
will always praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles
These disorders should be promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is a
safe and sure remedy for all such de-.
engagements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made we'll boy Of him
self, by using Dodds Kidney Pills,
and any one may do the same by the

dermine the health of growing child
as much as Kidney and Urinary de-
engagements.

WEATHER is roo COOL.
Late Corn Suffered Injury From Re.
cent Frost in North.


Huron, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE weather
during the week averaged cool, unusu-
ally SO in the northern portion of the
state, and meager reports indicate that
there was light to heavy frost in some
northern counties on the 18th and 14th,
and light frost locally in the middle
counties on the 18th.
There were light showers quite gen
orally. During the night Of the 18th
heavy rain fell over most of the state,
and on the 18th and 18th more rain, and
some sleet and snow, occurred over the
northern counties east of the Missouri
river.
Threshing, the completion Of stack
ing, haying and millet cutting We're
much retarded by the rains and the
damp condition OF grain, and threshing
is backward.
Considerable grain. mostly wheat,
oats and spelt, yet remains in shock in
the upper James and Sioux river VAL
leys, and some of this has been dam
aged by the rains. In few limited
localities some grain in stack is threat
ened with damage from the same cause.
Corn Is maturing steadily, but slow
ly as q rule. More than half the crop
is considered past danger Of injury by
frost, and cutting Of early corn has be-
gun in a number of counties. Meage1
reports indicate that some Of the late
corn suffered uncertain injury from
frost on the 18th and 14th in northern
localities.

New Woman's Ways.

New York Times: Senator Patrick H.
McCarren has, it seems, special dislike
for certain type of inquisitive woman
caformer.
A woman of this cast worried him con-
siderably at one time about his vote upon
p bill concerning her sex. She haunted
his favorite places, and one day advanced
to his desk and began examining objects
upon 1t.
whats this?" she inquired, picking up
a weighty brown thing which slipped out
of her hand and dropped like a heavy
stone to the floor.
"That?" replied the senator. ooh,
that's a tea biscuit baked by some women
reformers who are eager to get bill
through on some kind of scientific cook
ing. It's the finest paper weight I ever
had.
The woman departed silently and
roubled him no more.

WILL BE AVERAGE YIELD.
About 40 Per Cont Of Corn Crop Was

About 40 Per Cont Of Corn Crop Was
Injured by Frost.
Canton, s. D., Sept. lit is esti-
corn Is out Of the way safely, and will
be benefited rather than injured by
the frost, but the remaining 40 per
cent. Is greatly damaged. All late
planted corn has been injured to a
greater or less extent about half Of
i It being considered a total failure, while
the remaining half is fit only for i'm
mediate feeding. A comforting fea-
ture about the corn crop in this To-
cality Is that the portion of the crop
which has reached maturity Is so heavy
that 1t makes up to a very great ex-
tent for tn failure Of the late planted
part OF the crop, and thus 1t is esti-
mated that there Is about an average
crop after all. This Is much better than
has been expected In view Of the unfa-
vorable weather during the last thirty
days, and the country will be In pretty
good condition as result of the crops
this year.
John H. Holsey, United States wealth
sr observer at this place has made a
great record In his predictions of the
date OF the first frost this year "a
month or six weeks ago Mr.. Holsey
predicted from certain signs that there
would be no frost before the 18th Of
September, but he advised everybody
TO cover up their tomato vines on the
night Of the 18th. He is getting many
congratulations on the accuracy of his
forecast this morning.

Farley house at Hudson was sold few
days ago to C. c.. Haas, a representa-

company of Sioux City. They intend
ito use the ground for the erection of
"a new bank building, and the old hotel,
one of the most noted historic land
marks in the Sioux valley, will be

ART OF REST
May BE Acquired and Used with Great
Benefit,


Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of the body
and mind is an art not easily gained
Perhaps nothing brings one as much
content, comfort, happiness and pleasure
as those conditions of easy, restful, re-
sourceful and well-balanced mind and
body, that make of work pleasure and
the daily life happy and peaceful
The nervous housewife busy with
hundred duties and harassed by children;
the business man. worried with the press
of daily affairs, debts, ETC., cannot enjoy
full nervous balance unless they know
how.
There is way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely, for
tie temporary stimnlant and the result
ing depression is a sure ruin to the ner-
vous system, and the whole condition Of
health and happiness rests upon stomach
nerves aud mind.
Srart with the stomach, that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop using
things that break down its power, upset
its nervous energy and prevent the
proper digestion of the food and the con-
SCluSit IuuuuldCluIe VI uedlCu1 III UiOOu
and nerves, brain and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Postum
Food Coffee. That is like stopping the
payment of interest and starting on
career where you are loaning money and
receiving interest. The good results are
donble. You stop poisoning the system
with coffee and start building up the
broken down nerve cells by powerful
elements contained in Postum. These
are pure food elements ably selected by
experts for the purpose Of supplying
just the thing required by Nature to per-
form this rebuilding.
These are solid, substantial facts and
can be proven clearly to the satisfaction
of anyone, by personal experience. Try
the change yourself and note how the
old condition Of shattered nerves and
worried mind changes to tll at feeling of
restfuf poise of q well-balanced nervous
system.
The managing physician of hygienic
sanitarium in Indiana says that for Eve
yeaIs in his practice he has always In,
sisted upon the patients leaving OFF coffee
and taking Postum Food Coffee with the
most positive, well detiped results and
with satisfaction to the most confirmed
coffee topper.

REDFIELD GETS NIPPED,
First Frost of Season Ends Most Of

Redfield, S. D., Sept 16.-The first
srost of the season struck this section
Saturday night. No material injury
was done, as the corn crop was near
" fully matured. Thrashing has been
delayed by heavy rains. but the grain
IS generally well stacked and two or
three days fair weather will start the
machines again. Small grain is turn
ing out even better than the most san
gulne expected. The yield Of wheat in
Sphinx county is running from 20 to 80
bushels per acre, oats from 40 to IS
bushels, barley from 20 to As bushels:
The corn crop is the best in the his
