friend who had suffered just as had
suffered from terrible indigestion, pal
p'tation of the heart and sinking
spells.
After | had used Postum n week
I was so much better that | was
afraid 1t would not last. But now
two years have passed and l am a
well woman. | owe it all to leaving
off coffee and drinking Postum in its
place.

TURN OVER TIME.

When Nature Hints About the Food.
Whcl there's no relish to any food
and all that one eats doesn't seem to-
do any good, then is the time to make
a turn over in the diet, for that's Ma
lures way of dropping a hint that the
food isn't the kind required
For a number Of years l followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
We're our busiest, and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and restau-
rants, these together with the seden-i
tary habits were not long in giving
me dyspepsia and stomach trouble
which reduced my weight from 2O5 to
16O pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more l ate the
poorer got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much | had eaten.
''Then l commenced fair trial of
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how :,
small saucer of it would carry me
along, strong and with satisfied appe-
tite. until the next meal, with no SEN
sations of hunger, weakness or distress
as before.
II have been following this diet now
for several months, and my improve
ment has been SO great all the others
in my family have taken up the use
Of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac-
ton and much Improvement in health
and brain power.
American people undoubtedly eat
hurriedly, have lots of worry, thus
hindering digestion and therefore need
a food that is predigested and concen-
trated i'll nourishment." Name given

EXPERTS LOOKED FOR 1T
kuropatkin Was Figured to Be Playing
for Defeat, and English Writers
Told Il

London, June Recommending on the
dispatches from st. Petersburg to the
Paris papers, the Daily Mail this morn
ing says:
There are indications that Kuropat-
kin, like so many commanders before
him, has succumbed to political pres
sure and is moving south along the
railway in the direction of Port Ar
thur In a desperate endeavor to sue
cor the garrison of the fortress.
"On May II kuropatkin had a pro-
longed interview with Viceroy Alexieff,
who some weeks ago opposed the idea
of any retreat on the part of the Rus
slams, and who persisted in holding
Port Arthur when Kuropatkin wished
to abandon it, the viceroy was said
at the time to have called in the per-
sonal intervention of the car to pre-
vent General Kuropatkin from carry
ing out the policy of retirement
1T is possible this has happened a
second time and that General Kuro-
patkin has once more been forced
against his own better Judgment into
dangerous line of action.
IF so he has acted as did Marshal
MacMahon when, in 1870, he yielded to
the Empress Eugene and made his
fatal attempt to join hands with Ba-
zaine in Metz-an attempt which issued

Mr.. Aibee's Opinion.

Alpine. Cal, June G.-Mr. Il. NJ. AL,
bee, our postmaster. has expressed an
opinion based on his own experience
which will no doubt be of interest to
many. Mr.. Albee is a man OF few
words, but his well-known truthful
ness and uprightness of character auus
much weight to any statement he
makes. He says:
The first box of Dodds Kidney
Pills that | used convinced me of their
good qualities and l used altogether
four boxes With the very best results.
l can heartily recommend this rem
cdy."
This voluntary expression of opinion
VIII doubtless find an echo in MANY
homes i'll California, for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have been making some mi
racuious cures in this State.
From the evidence already publish
ed it seems safe to conclude that this
medicine will be found to be a perfect
cure for rheumatism, Urinary trouble,
Backache and any. and every form or
symptom of Kidney Complaint.

MEMS WAYS WITH WATCHES.
Some Careless and Some Careful al

Some Careless and Some Careful as
They Are With Other Belongings.
New York Sun: "a watch ought to
be cleaned once in say eighteen months
or two years" said the jeweler; but
how often it would need to be cleaned
and how often q mans watch might
stand in need of repairs would depend
a good deal on the man himself; on how
he used it.
ION how he used it? Doesn't a man
just put his watch in his pocket and
carry it? Is there any difference in the
ways in which fen use their watches?'
why, there's all the difference in the
world, Just as there is in the ways in
which men use their clothes or any
other of their belongings. One man,
for instance, will put on q new overcoat
and have it looking like an old one in a
month, and another man would wear
the same oVcrcoat two seasons and
come out With it at the end of the sec
ond season looking fresh and in good
order And one man will make a new
watch look like an old one in no time,
and another will in some way, and
without carrying it in chamos bag
or anything Of that sort, always have
his watch looking new and in good con-
dition. one man will take out his watch
to look at the time anywhere, when
the wind is blowing dust along the
street. or in the rain or the snow, while
another man will be thoughtful of such
things and not get out his watch to
look al it where it would be exposed to
the possibility of injury from such a
cause. And he would keep the pocket
in which he carried it free from dust
and lint, and would be careful of it
generally.
"Oh, yes, there's all the difference in
fl1n = H.
thelr watches, just as there is in all
their WaNS'i

CROP BULLETIN.
Conditions Have Been Very Favorable

for Growing Grain.
Huron, S. D., June 2.--The weather dur
Ing the fore part Of tbs week was COOL
with moderate to generous showers. The
latter part of the week was generally fair
with more favorable temperatures.
The rains somewhat retarded field work,
more particularly in the middle Black
Hills and the extreme southeastern coun-
lies
Wheat, oats, rye, spelt and barley made
favorable advance, especially in stooling,
but there Is still considerable complaint
Of scattered fields of early grain showing
thinner stand and more weakness than
expected; on the whole, however wheat
and also the other small grains are In
very favorable condition.
Corn planting Is nearly finished, but re-
planting of some of the early planted
fields was found necessary, because of de-
ective seed. The corn that Is up looks
we'll, but cool weather the fore part Of
The week retarded its growth and also
The termination of the later planted.
Grass is in good condition generally,
though still backward for the time in
he season, affords good pasturagc, and
nadc good growth. Alfalfa is In good
condition.
Flax and millet seeding and also late
potato planting and gardening were fu-
1orably advanced. Ecarly flax is com
ng up and looks healthy. Early potatoes
made fairly good growth.
Reports continue to Indicate that the
outlook for both cultivated and wild fruits
S very good.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Merlin North Arrested for Attempted
Assault on Little Girl.

Bonesteel, S. d. June merlin
North was arrested here on a charge of
attempt to commit rape. He was placed
IN the city jail. Feeling runs high, but
the Jail Is we'll guarded.
North came here from Omaha last
week. Yesterday three little girls one
Of them the 1-year-old daughter of *.
Hoyt, the other two being younger,
were picking wild flowers near town,
when North came along and told them
there We're more and prettier flowers
over a hill near by. The children fol-
lowed him, and the Hoyt girl, being in
advance, he seized her and dragged her
into Il plum thictet.
The three children began to scream
and the two smaller ones ran toward
town. North, being in fear of discov-
cry, released the child, who ran home
and told her mother.
North was positively identified as the
nssailant by the little girl. after his ar
rest. He at first denied the charge, but
later confessed,
