IS ABSOLUTELY PURE
NATURES OWN RESTORATIVE
IN FAVORiTE PRESCRIPTION.
Or. Pierce Announces the ingredients
Of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name a Household
Word In the World.

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort in
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come un-
der that head, the fact remains that
some of these medicines are SO firmly
established in popular favor and con-
f1dence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
Of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith in them.
One Of the best known of these rem.
edics is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, a medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as STAN
dard preparation for the cure of those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be q
certain cure in nine cases out Of ten
and sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Favorite Prescription. 1t is an alb
solutely pure medicine-made Of roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly com.
pounded is certain to effect cure in
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle Of the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
OF what the medicine is composed.
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepara-
ton of his famous household remedies.
For it he substituted chemically pure
glycerine, which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious eff.
feet whatever.
Your druggist sells the Favorite
Prescription and also that famous
Alternative and blood purifier, the Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Write to DR..
Pierce about your case. He is we'll
qualified physician and will treat your
case as confidential and without
charge for correspondence. Address
him at the Invalids Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, ~ Y, Of which he Is
Chief Consulting Surgeon.

INSECTS PESTS OF MlLLERs.
Over Forty Varieties Of Moths and
Beetles Bother Them.

"Millers have a good deal to con-
tend with in modern times" said A.
H. Hull of Kansas City. More than
forty species of destructive moths and
beetles infest granaries, some Of
which were only recently imported
and some have been known as an enc
my to stored grain ever since very
ancient times. 1t takes a keen eye
to detect in apparently sound wheat
the presence of a 'granary weevil,'
but if the grains have been stung by
it incalcu!able injury may be done in
short time. Another destructive in
sect that infests mills is the -four
moth, known as the scourge of the
-four mill. These insects excel in web
spinning and sometimes mix up so
much with the grain that the machn-
cry is clogged and mills are stopped
for long periods The Indian meal
moth excels in devouring the germs
of wheat, injuring it for seed. A fat
little beetle called the flour weevil.'
often makes its appearance in flour
after it has been barreled or bagged.
They are the worst pests in the MILL
ing world that can think of now, and
sometimes wonder that the American
public is blessed with such excellent
-four in the face of all this insect OPP
position. "-Milwaukee Free Press.

Census Figures on Crop Production
Verifying the Estimates.

Census Figures on Crop Production
Verifying the Estimates.
The returns coming into the state
census department will give to the
state the first official figures in regard
to production and Supt. Doane Robin
son, in speaking of that phase Of the
returns, said:
"The volume of production Of South
Dakota is great-beyond the compre.
hension of most people. Here is the
report of single township taken at
random from the returns in my Office.
1t will be recalled that last year, on
account of rust, the wheat was fail
ure. The township, however, pro-
duced: Corn, 1855 bushels; wheat,
4,373; oats, 132,4s6; barley, 1924;
rye, 400; Duckwheat, 80; flaxseed.
4sO; clover seed, 1O5; timothy seed,
1874; potatoes, 5,476; sweet corn, 3;
speltz, $50; tomatoes, 80; other vege-
tables, 1876; apples, 5O4; plums. 81;
cherries, SO; strawberries and cur
rents, IA; eggs, 29,519 dozen; milk
sold, 10000 pounds; butter, 40,S43
pounds; alfalfa, AZ tons; clover hay,
Ga tons; timothy, %; millet, 81; wild
hay, $3.50 tons; other forage, ga tons;
then of live stock, 423 calves; 997
steers; 43 bulls; 203 heifers; 493
mich cows; sc stock cows; 81 colts;
Al two-year-old horses; 421 work
horses; mules; 105 lambs; 126
sheep; 1916 hogs; 6,704 chickens;
1858 other fowls. That particular
township is six miles square and has
population of 421, so it will readily
be seen that the per capita Of wealth
shows no danger of the people coming
to want"
The returns show that the principal
crop products of Potter county for
last year were: Corn, 1881 BUSH
els; wheat, 3S,975; oats, 34,4S3; bar
ley, 1924; rye, ESQ; speltz, 1880;
Durum wheat, 1926; flax seed, 49,
965; potatoes, 29,980. The county is
largely ueFOleu W i've StoCh, anu hS
ures on that production are not yet
completed.
The official figures Of Pennington
county completed show population
of 5,611, a gain of one in five years.
Rapid City has gained Ass, having a
population of 1871. There, too, has
been a gain in the farming townships,
but a loss in the mining sections.
There are but $40 foreign born resi-
dents in that county.

MENZIE is PUT OUT OF OFFICE.
Cattle Owners Of Charles Mix Win
Over Objectionable Inspector.

The county commissioners of
Charles Mix county, by vote of two
to one, removed William H. Menzie
from the Office of county cattle in
spector upon the petition of 500 cattle
owners. The reasons were, for his
continued misrepresentation of the
law, in that he would not allow the
construction Of private dipping tanks,
and for the overbearing and officious
manner in which he attempted to force
the cattle owners to do just as he Or
dered.
The county also dismissed the five
cases against the farmers from this
vicinity who had been arrested by
the cattle inspector for refusing to dip
in public vat, when they had already
made arrangements to dip in their own
tanks or that of their neighbors.
The fight on this proposition was
one of the warmest ever made, the
late county seat fight being no where
as compared to this.
The commissioners will appoint a
man to fill the vacancy, until the coun-
ty auditor can call meeting or the
cattle owners for the purpose of elect
ing new man. A large petition will
be forwarded to the state live stock
commission, asking them to have a
competent man sent to this county,
make a thorough investigation as to
the condition of the stock Of the coun-
ty, and if found to be as believed by
those who live here, that less than 3
per cent Of the cattle have the scab-
bies, then modify the general order
that all cattle shall be dipped. 1t is
understood that Gov. Elrod has also
been asked to interest himself in the
conditions that exist here. Certain it
is that great hardship is being
worked upon the cattle owners of this
county. and the authorities should in
terest themselves to the extent Of find
ing out the exact situation.

SALOON FIGHT ON.
Sioux Falls People Trying to Movo
Saloon Near School.


There is a law on the. statute books
of South Dakota which says that lit
shall be unlawful for any one to en-
gage In the sale of intoxicating liquors
at retail in the same block in which
a public or private school is located
or In the block adjoining" Prior to
the granting of license by the city
of Sioux Falls on July /, number of
business men together with the pro-
prietor of business college which is
located in the block where P. Enger
conducts saloon, filed protest with
the city council against the granting
of a license to Enger. The city coun-
ell ignored the protest, when the par
ties aggrieved went into the state
circuit court and secured a writ of
prohibition to prevent the operating
of the saloon. Judge Frank R. Aikens,
who was retained by Mr.. Enger, filed
demurrer to the writ of prohibition.
tanned the demurrer. Thus the saloon
Is the winner of the first two rounds.
But the fighting blood Of the business
men opposed to the saloon has been
aroused and they have instructed their
attorneys to take whatever steps they
deem necessary to put this particular
saloon out of business. While only
one saloon has been attacked it is
known that the prohibition element,
while not taking hand in the pro-
ceedings so far instituted, are watch
ing developments, and should the state
law be declared good and Enger put
out of business, the prohibitionists
will at once commence similar pro-
ceedings against eighteen of the twen-
ty-six saloons in the city, all of whom
are within the block where the bust
ness college is located or an adjoining
block.
1t is also understood that prohibit
tionists in other towns are watching
the result of the fight in Sioux Falls.
The general attorney of the state Law
Enforcement league has been in Sioux
Falls several days the past week TAX
ing notes, and the outlook is for some
lively times among the saloon men
of the state.

PUSHING ON TO THE HILLS.
Survey Crew Finishing Work and vii
Soon Reach Deadwood.

The work of laying rails to the west
bank of the Missouri river on the ex-
tension of the Milwaukee railroad
eastward from Chamberlain has been
completed and for the first time the
construction train was able to make
a complete crossing. The grading is
completed to Oacoma, several miles
down tie river from the bridge ap-
proach from the west, and II Is an
nounced that the iron will be laid to
that town by Thursday Of this week.
The iron gang will then leave for Ar
mour to lay the track from that place
to Plankinton. 1t is expected that
this work will again return to Oaco-
ma. In the interval 1t Is calculated
that the work of grading westward
will have advanced to such stage
that the iron can be laid without fur
Their interruption. During the next
1.-TWO weeks ties and iron will be taken
to supply yards on the west side OF the
river, to be in readiness for the re-
sumption of rail la-ing upon the re-
turn of the crew from the Armour ex-
tension.
It is positively asserted that the sur
vey crew, under the direction OF ]. H.
Mcknight, is now at work surveying
the line from the end Of the track now
contracted for Is miles out, on to the
Black Hills. Parties in town from that
section of the country state that the
survey crew has already covered con-
siderable new territory, and there Is
no longer the least doubt as to the
immediate extension of the line at
least to the Black Hills.
