All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops ten of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
ALI are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties. in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhea,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
of the day, to sleep we'll at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement Of the female or
ganisrl.

in charge OF the state census now in
progress. He is going to tramp on the
trail of the man with the small FAM
lily and discover q few things, which
Mr.. Pidgin believes will help the state,
Mr.. Pidgin has an idea that the fact
that the population does not increase
is to be blamed more upon men who
refuse to wed than upon small fam
HES. A list Of questions has been pre-
pared for the women OF the state to
deterrline whether or not the same
birth rate exists among married wofn-
en- Of the state as among the mar
ricd women of other states. II the
rates are equal, Mr.. Pldgin says it is
evidence hat marriages in Massachus-
sets are later or fewer than in other
states. If it is evident after the re-
turns are all in hat the married folk
of the state are doing their duty by the
commonwealth then it will be the duty
OF the lawmakers to devise some plan
whereby the great unmarried division
may be lured or coerced into matri-
n~Ony.

ORIGINAL POLICY GOOD.
FraternaI Insurance Paper Payable to
the First Beneficiary.

the First Beneficiary.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 6.-Of con-
siderable Importance to beneficiaries in
fraternal societies is the recent de-
cision of the state supreme court in the
case of Foss VS.. the Modern Woodmen
and Peterson VS.. the Modern Woodmen.
A policy for the sum of SO, 900 was in
volved in the suit. The policy original
~ was issued to Gustave Peterson, a
resident of Sioux Falls, and was made
payable to a brother living in the old
country.
Peterson was taken sick and finally
died. During his Illness and up to the
time of his death he was cared for by
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Foss of this city.
While lying upon his deathbed, Peter
son changed his insurance policy, maxi
ing $4,000 payable to another brother
who resided in Sioux Falls, and the
other $1,000 payable to Mr.. Foss.
The case finally reached the state cir
cult court, where it developed that
Peterson had not signed the application
for a change In policy, his Sioux Falls
brother admitting hat he had signed
the name Of his dying brother to It,
but at the request of the brother.
Judge Jones, of the state circuit
court, when the case came before himI
for decision, decided in favor of the
o,e.ginal beneficiary and ordered that
the Iull amount OF the pollcy De palu
to the brother residing in the old
country. This was largely on the
ground that the dying man was not in
fit condition mentally or physically to
make the change in the policy, and
that in any event Foss, not being a
relative of Peterson, could not, under
the laws of the Woodmen order, be
made a beneficiary, beneficiaries being
limited to relatives of the policyhoiders.
The case was appealed to the state
supreme court, which has now affirmed
the decision of Judge Jones and the
policy stands as 1t originally was.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Few people know the real color Of
gold. because it is seldom seen except
when heavily alleged, which makes it
much redder than when it is ure.
The purest coins ever made We're the
$50 pieces which once were in common
use in California. Their coinage was
abandoned because the loss by abrasion
IA so great and because their interior
could be bored out and filed with lead.
the most valuable coins ever minted
and circulated.
All gold is not alike when refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken from California. More
over placer gold is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
is one of the mysteries Of metallurgy,
because the gold in plaCers ono from
that which is in quartz. The gold in
the Ural mountains Is the reddest in
the world.

WORK ON CANAL
IS PROGRESSING
Great irrigation Project II,
Western South Dakota
Well Under Way.
AN ARMY OF WORKMEE
Hundreds of Men and Teams Are No.
Employed in the Work, Which
Is Being Rushed to Compile
ton by the Contractors.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Oct. 6.-Good
progress is being made in the prelimin-
airy work in connection with the mann
moth irrigation system near this place,
on which the United States govern
ment will eXpend the sum of several
millions of dollars.
The construction Of both the diver
sion dam and the inlet canal has pro-
crossed very satisfactorily during the
last few weeks and a good showing is
now being made. The excessive ain
fall during the early part of the sea-
son delayed the work greatly, but since
the dry weather came the contractors
have been able to push the work quite
rapidly.
Hundreds of men and teams are now
employed in the work, which the con-
tractors hope to have completed with
In the time limit. The work IN the
diversion dam is further advanced than
that on the inlet canal. An electric
lighting system was recently installed
and now both day and night shifts
are being worked. 1t is estimated that
over o~ne-third of the work on the dam
is completed. and that one-fourth of
the work on the inlet canal has been
completed.
At the present time only a small por-
ton of the inlet canal has been com
pleted. A stretch of probably three
fourths of a mile from the dam to Crow
creek requires only the finishing
touches, While about the same dis
lance near what is known as Giles
ranch also is nearing completion. A
distance of about one and one-fourth
miles on the proposed canal as yet has
bod No yEorlE whatever done nnOn II.
Work on a big cut of forty-five feet
near Giles ranch is progressing fairly
we'll. This is at the point where the
water will drop from the canal into
what will be known as the Owl Greek
reservoir. A big steam shovel is at
work on this part of the canal. 1t VIII
take some time yet to take out the
earth to the required depth.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in working the steam shovel, due ia
the fact that those operating the shovel
have been unable to utilize more than
one car during the greater part of the
time. A second steam shovel will soon
arrive, and his will be put at work
on a small cut neal what is known as
the Gilbert ranch. An electric light,
plant is being installed at the point
where the first steam shovel is at work.
and his will enable the men operating
the shovel &c keep the machine goingt
both day and night. :
The telephone line from Belle
Fourche to the site selected for the
reservoir dam has beer accepted by
the government, but it is thought the,
lire will have to be provided with a
heavier wire. The telephone line is for
the convenience of the government Of
fCials who are supervising the con-
struction of the immense irrigation sys-
tenn, and who for a part of the time
will make their headquarters in Belle
Fourche.

For over two years my little baby
girl suffered with a raw, itching and
painful eczema on her head and face,
the pain causing her to scream day
and night, and my wife could get no
rest. We tried several doctors, but
without success. Unless we kept her
hands tied she would scratch until
ner face was like raw beef. One cake
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes OF
Cuticura Ointment completely cured
her, heclng her face without mark

times every part Of my head and face

feared they would drive me mad.

they were dull and lingering. / could

THAT was III December Of 1908. To
my surprise, a change IN my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, as I kept on using DR.. Will

gan will, the first box, and when I had
ased six boxes I stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since" !.
Mr.. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray
