Some of the papers of South Dakota

that Evarts water drank in lemonade

sion, is responsible for the typhoid
cases which have become numerous
since hat time. DR.. George has had
four cases OF typhoid in Evarts, three
of which were foreign. DR.. Edwards
of Bowdle reports ten to fifteen cases,
and says that except two or three not
one Of the persons we're in Evarts
this summer. DR.. Hill of Ipswich has
about the same number.
The lemonade on the excursion day
was made from Missouri river water.
and the same water was in barrels on
the streets for drinking purposes;
water from wells was not used at all.
II some Of the hundreds here that
day had the germs of typhoid iri their
system, and all drinking out of the
same cup, from the same barrel. it is
perfectly natural that the disease
should spread through such a cause.
But that the disease was spread from
the water itself is not-borne out by facts.

my first stomach trouble began
back in 1885," writes q minister in
Nebr., resulting from hasty eating
and eating too much. l found no re-
lief from medicine and grew SO bad
that all food gave me great distress.
1T was that sore, gnawing, hungry
feeling in my stomach that was so
distressing and / became a sick man.
Grape Nuts was recommended as a
food that could be easily digested.
Leaving the old diet that had given
me so much trouble, l began to eat
Grape-Nuts with little cream and
sugar. The change effected in "a hours
was truly remarkable. and in a few
weeks l was back to health again.

indigestible foods, which put me again
on the sick list.

cream and in four days I was put

my studies and work.

ried on that date $25 ,447,831.91, OF
which about $12,OOO,0O0 were in the
way of call deposits, and the balance
certificates.
Placing the population OF the state
at half million on that date, this
would mean bank deposits In the state
of practically $50 per capita, and at a
period when farmers are not realizing
any specially great returns from their

OF the damage done are conflicting. one
statement is that most OF the valuable
property on the extreme shore line es-

docks, had been swept clean from Fisher
mans wharf at the foot or Powell street
to a point around westerly almost to the

mile OF grain sheds, docks and wharves
have been added to the general destruc-

fire blazing In South San Francisco last
night and that spots in the suburb were
smoldering this forenoon. According to
his account, FIRE was still burning at the
foot OF Powell street early today, but there
was no possibility OF it going into the
