La salud individual en-
ambos sexos depende de la
riqueza de lasangre, y estando

Las Pfldoras Rosadas del

para incitar la production de
sangre rica y pura, y curan to-
dos esos males:

WILL CELEBRATE.
Completion of the Gigantic &Irri-
CATION Ditch on the Fourth
of July.

Belle Fourche, May 13. The Fourth
Of July will be celebrated in an exten-
sive manner this year, and will also be
made an occasion for rejoicing, as the
water will be turned for the first time
down the entire length of the inlet
canal. The officials of the reclamation
service will join with the citizens OF
the town in making this truly festive
occasion. 1t means much to the peo-
pie of this city, as it will be the assur-
ance of the completion Of the gigantic
irrigation project. The last section of
the concrete diverting dam will be put
in in a few weeks, and the inlet canal
will be completed for its entire length
by the Fourth of July. 1t is also
thought that the Northwestern railroad
will be running trains from Pierre to
Belle Fourche by that time. A formal
opening of the irrigation works will be
made on that day by closing the spill
way gates and opening the head gates
and turning the waters Of the Belle
Fourche into the inlet canal for the
first time for it's full length. An
urgent invitation has been extended to
President Roosevelt to be present at
this opening, and in the event of this
being impossible other speakers of
national reputation will be secured.

STREET CARNIVAL.
At Meeting Last Evening July
3, q and S Were Fixed
as Dates.

A meeting attended by about twenty
| five citizens was held at the city hal
last evening for the purpose of discus
sing the matter of holding street car
pival. The committee appointed at q
previous meeting to solicit funds fol-
the purpose, reported having received
pledges to the amount of 1926. 1t was
decided to hold the carnival July g,
and 5, and E. Kramer, J. II. Sullivan and
j. e, Goltra we're selected as commit
tee on general arrangements.
There is some considerable confusion
in the minds of citizens in regard to
the advisability of street carnival.
Some of course object on general prin-
ciples, regarding the average street
carnival as not furnishing amusement
of desirable character from a moral
standpoint Madison has entertained
one street carnival and the people of
the city are competent to judge of the
strength of the moral uplift put forth
by the line of amusement afforded.
Again, the Madison Driving Park
association has arranged for series Of
circuit races to be held at the fair
grounds June 25, 26 and q. A fund Of
nearly $2 900 has been subscribed for
this purpose, and the promoters of this
enterprise feel that, although the races
conclude before the opening of the car
nival, that their enterprise will be in
terfered with in measure by the
counter attraction of street carnival
within few days of their dates.
And, again, the annual chautauqua
assembly opens on the Goth of June to
continue until July Is. The Fourth of
July is a leading day with the chau
tauqua management, when the gates
are thrown open to the public free OF
charge, the only admission fee being
entrance to the auditorium This is
usually pig day at the assembly when
large numbers of people come to the
grounds to enjoy family picnic dinners
and also attend the high class attrac-
tions at the auditorium. A street car
nival uptown would make it necessary
for a large number OF people to re-
main at home whether they we've in
terested in the carnival or not, besides
the crowd would pe divided as against
the chautauqua assembly which in the
minds of many people is regarded as
the more deserving.

TAFT VISIT.
Coming to South Dakota De.
sires Acquaintance in Middle
Western States.

Washington, May 13.-The people of
Iowa. South Dakota and other middl Q
western states will have chance to
become better acquainted with Secre-
tary of War Taft next month His
visit to South Dakota on the occasion
of his inspection of Fort Meade will be
followed by his address at the State
University of Iowa at the annual com
mencement exercises in June. The
big secretary has firmly refused to
slight his official duties for politics.
But he is so disposing his official duties
that he will be able to visit states
where he hitherto has not been well
known. This is considered vital by
his political advisers. Now that the
secretary seems assured of the support
of his own state for the republican
presidential nomination the Taft boom
ers have gone to work elsewhere. -
They find good sentiment existing
because of the general idea that Presi-
dent Roosevelt wants Secretary Taft to
succeed him. This sentiment is strong
est in those states which are strongest
for Roosevelt.
