BrsiA Food Nonsense.

Another ridicuous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly. notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

residents of our town only little
more than a year, yet in that time
have made hosts of friends, espec-

hearts of all, so that when the
news of her death on Wednesday
afternoon, May Is, was circulated
all hearts were sad, and express
sions of love for her and sympathy
for the parents were heard on ev-
cry side. For four years Katie
had been sightless, the loss of
this one sense tending seemingly
to make the others more acute,
making her remarkably bright
child for one Of her age. For years
she has suffered, but happy and
cheerful, and thus rewarding the
constant devotion of father and
mother whose only desire was to
make Katie happy. Our Heavenly
Father has relieved her from all
suffering. After a short service
by Rev. II. B: Bowden the parents
accompanied the remains to An
derson, Ind, for interment, and
where relatives Of both side wait

the heart cries out go, Father in
Heaven, why cannot those who
love go home together?" but the
good angel-merciful Death
will come for those who are left
to mourn and bear us to our loved
ones from pain to ease, from tears
to smiles, from grief to joy, from
darkness to light, from separation
to uniting, for what is Death but
Life? The opening of a door
through which loved ones go to
the better, brighter land. This is
where Katie is, awaiting the COM

The CHRoNIcLE hears very compli
mentary mention Of the speech made by
Mr. w. f. Ilanley, responsive to call
after he had received the nomination
for state senator from this district at the
hands OF the Republican convention
held at Hot Springs last Monday. In
its sentiment and delivery Mr.. Hanley
satisfied the convention that he not only
bad something to cay but also that he
was capable of saying it--that he was
not only familiar with conditions, and
knew what should and what should not
be done, but also possessed the ability
to have done, and If need be successful
ly meet his opponents in forensic com
bat. The CHRONICLE is not surprised
that Mr.. Hanley impressed tho members
of the convention favorably, and dem
onstrated his ability to care well for the
interests of the district on the senate
floor, as the estimate of his ability has
long been entertained by those that
have been acquainted with him, and the
successful way in which he has handled
all matters that have been entrusted to
him. However il is gratifying to know
that Clusters choice for state senator
gave the people of our sister county a
correct impression of his fitness for the
place so early in the campaign.

A Trip TO Hot snrinRs.

Bright and early Sunday morning,
August 2l, merry party offour, consist
ing Of Mrs. Isaac Ainslie, and the Misses
Myrtle Swain, Bessie Wood and Grayce
Wilkinson, "set sailn for that famous
little resort, Hot Springs. It was a
splendid day for trip and we arrived
in Hot Springs at o'clock after a most
delightful ride over thirty miles of paws
ed roads. Then much to the astonish
ment of several mischevious urchins
camp having "all the modern conven-
fences" was quickly established with no
masculine help whatever. The spot
chosen was down in beautiful Cold
Brook under the grand old box elder
and elm trees. After bountiful camp
supper We went down to Evans Park
where union services are being held
during the hot weather. Across the
street the Salvation Army Sisters were
entertaining the Evans guests with old
fashioned hymns which, as one gentle
man remarked, brought back old fash
ioned memories" The next morning
We were early astir and it was not long
until we introduced ourselves to the
plunge, where we passed many pleasant
hours the following week. The different
pleasure devices, especially the toboggan
slide were quickly mastered and a dip
in the plunge was not perfect without a
slide on the slippery toboggan.
During our stay We met several form
er Custer people: among them we were
very glad to meet Mrs. Mott Shook and
son Ray. We also spent pleasant
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
S. G. Lummis on College Hill. We OBJ
tanned fine view from here OF the
Soldiers Home which was brilliantly
lighted with gas. The next afternoon
we enjoyed a pleasant hack ride through
lower town and on College Flat, passing
the Catholicon, Trimmer's Gardens,
Black Hills College and other well
known spots. College hill, the home of
many beautiful residences, also COM
mands fine view of the new Sanitar
ium buildings. which are progressing
rapidly under the skilled management
of Mr. Oak. When completed they will
truly be an added attraction to Hot
Springs.
They say that variety is the spice of
life." and we certainly had it. Much
more could be said of our midnight
orchestra" or "our ride on the baggage
car" or "a hunt for cakes that were put
together" but as all this would make
another story we will now desist, with
three cheers for Hot Springs, and Home

school and Educational Nc.s..


Examinations for promotion will be
given next week.
The work as outlined in our course Of
study is such that a pupil Of average
ability and regular in attendance can
complete grade in one year. But for
several reasons we do not expect very
many promotions this year. Thorough
ness is our aim ard person cannot be
thorough who is dealing in subject mat
ter beyond him. And we are afraid We
have this condition in some of the
grades. Custer schools have been very
unfortunate in the way of quarantines
which demoralize the work and especi.
ally so when promotions hive been
made without completing the years
work. We shall exercise great care in
making promotions and try to place
every pupil In his proper grade. 1t is
certainly not pleasant for an energetic
pupil to take two years TO a grade but
under normal conditions this will not
happen very ofssn. The last years
work is being completed or at least pass
ed over this month but after vacation
of four months they are few who will be
able to get the work well enough in
hand to pass the examinations.
Beautiful 5oquets are in evidence in
most Of the rooms. ThN High School
are especially indebted to Hazel Bailey
and Mae Kollar.
Season tickets for the Lecture Course
are now on sale. A reduction has been
made for all pupils of the school-one
dollar for the six numbers. thus making
each entertainment cost about fifteen
cents; cheap enough that every one
may enjoy the course.
There is contest in mental arithmet-
ic now going on in the High School,
The boys are pitted against the girls.
The score stands al present 33 to in
favor of the girls.
The following is little poem by Haz.
ell Bailey, one Of the Rhetoric class.
TO THE VIOLET.
Dainty blue violet, sweetest of flowers
Breathing thy fragrance in deep wood
land bowers,
Peeping so bravely up from the moss
green,
Doing thy little best, though never
seen.
What a sweet lesson We gather from
thee,
To do our little best though none can
see,
To make some quiet nook better and
brighter,
To cheer some weary heart till it grows
brighter.

A Good Ticket.

The republicans of Custer county have
placed in the field good ticket and
one that should commend itself to the
republican voters ofthe county, says the
Buffalo Gap Republican. There is no
reason that We know of why svery man
should not receive his full party vote
and that would be equivalent to fifty or
seventy-fve majority this year. This is
a republican year, a year when full vote
gets out, and less scratching done than
in off years. No democrat can be elect
ed except by republican votes. The
margin is too close to give compliment
ary votes. The most important Office to
our mind is that of treasurer. Mr.. Ed.
N. Davis, the nominee is too well known
to need any extended notice at our hand
as he has been county assessor for the
past three years, and while there may
be some who do not like him. it's be-
cause he has done his duty, which he
has performed without fear or favor
which should commend him to the
majority of the people. Mr.. Tubbs,
candidate for representative has been a
citizen of Custer county for the past
twenty-five years, and consequently
needs no introduction at our hands ;
his long residence in the county should
enable him to be perfectly familiar with
the needs of the county, so that when
he goes to Pierre this winter he will be
in a position to do us some good
Harry Way, for register of deeds, has
been in the county for long time and
from what we know of him We believe
he is man well qualified for the posi-;
ton. Miss Gurney for superintendent
of schools, is said to be a good teacher
and capable lady for that position.
Chas. Ennis, nominee for sheriff, is no
stranger to our voters, who If elected,
will no doubt make good officer. It's
not necessary to extoll the virtues Of
Charles Smith for states attorney, w. A.
NeYin for county auditor, w. A. Smith
for clerk of courts, A. t, Feay for county
Judge, or +. A Scott for assessor for they
have served the county in various posi-
tions.

was the fortunate winner of the gentle

not feel quite equal to "Pit" wandered

which might be called "Nationology. :"

fortunate enough to draw the prize, an
exquisitive China platque, over five 9TH
