WILL REDUCE THEIR FARE
NORTHWESTERN WILL OBSERVE
SOUTH DAKOTA ORDER.
AFFECTS TRIPS TO NORFOLK
On October is the South Dakota Pas
senger Fare Will be Reduced to 2La
Cents-Interstate Rate Will Not be
Cut at That Time,
tFrom Mondays Daily.J

tFrom Mondays Daily.]
Norfolk is interested in the reduc-
ton of passenger rates in South Da-
kota to the extent that territory in
southern South Dakota Is tributary to
Norfolk. The order of the South Da-
kota railway commissioners reducing
the maximum passenger fare from 3
to 2k cents per mile becomes effective
October Is.
The new South Dakota fare reduc-
ton will be respected by the North
western. In Norfolk last summer Vice
President w. A. Gardner of the North
western announced that the system
he represented always observed the
laws of the states through which it
ran. This policy will be carried out in
South Dakota.
The reductions under the recent or
der will in each round trip made to
Norfolk from any Of the Rosebud
towns amoant to cent for each mile
that the town in question Is back OF
the South Dakota state line. Thus a
citizen of Dallas who runs down to
Norfolk under the new rate will make
the round trip for about forty cents
less than formerly because Dallas by
railroad is about forty miles beyond
the state line. From Deadwood, which
lies about las miles north Of the state
line, the reduction in fare would be
proportiohate.
But the interstate rate will not be
changed with the reduction Of fares or
October Is. There is long line OF
procedure necessary before the inter
state commerce commission before ar
consequently for several weeks after
October Is the present rates on inter
state trips will be in effect.

WANT PURE WATER
FOR THE SCHOOLS
Agitation Begun to Try TO
Improve Supply For
the Pupils

Parents Of many school children have
begun an agitation TO try to get pure
drinking water for the public soboo,s
When the schools were re-opened after
the summer vacation several pupils at
School No. % in the Ninth ward became
ill and had to go to their homes. Their in
disposition Is supposed to have been
caused by them drinking water that had
laid in the pipes during vacation and be-
come contaminated.
AT the different public schools the
drinking water Is that drawn from the
city reservoirs and the Brandywine. and
some of the parents fear it may cause the
children to become nl. especially since so
many impurities are now being washed
down the Brandywine
Officers Of the Board Of Education say
they have no money TO provide purer
water for the schools, and one official
points out that there Is not really sufh-
cient money to buy all the books that are
needed.
Officers Of the Kiamensi Water Com
pany yesterday made an offer to Pres,-
dent Z. G. Shortlidge Of the Board Of
Education to supply Kiamensi Spring
water to the public schools at a reduced
price. and also TO install cooler in each
school room without cost There is some
talk of the taking Of public subscriptions
to buy pure water for the schools.

II people ate more fruit they would
take less medicine aud have better
health. There is an old saying that
fruit is golden in the morning and
leaden at night. AS matter Of fact.
it may be gold at both times. but then
it should be eaten on an empty stom-
ach and not as a dessert. when the
appetite is satisfied and digestion IS
already sufficiently taxed. Fruit taken
in the morning before the fast Of the
night has been broken is refreshing,
and it serves as a stimulus 70 the di-
gestive organs. A ripe apple or an
orange may be taken at this time with
good effect. Fruit. to be really valu-
able as an article OF diet should be
ripe. sound, and in every. way Of good
quality. and. If possible, it should be
eaten raw.
Instead Of eating great deal Of
meat for breakfast, most people would
do far better if they took some grapes,
pears, or apples-fresh fruit as long as
Il is to be had. and. atter that they
can fan back on stewed .Drunes. figs.

an important item in their breakfast.

makers from Oshkosh. Kalamazoo Sau-
gus, Punxatawney and other fashionable
centres who were anxious to see just how
the gowns were put together.

also will be continued today and to-
night. The Saengerbund Volksfest is
being held at Brandywine Springs Park

many persons went to the parks as
would have gone had the weather been
more inviting.
The managers of both volksfests are
hoping for clear weather tonight, for
that will mean thousands of visitors
to the parks. At the VOlksfest at
Brandywine Springs Park an attractive
program of singing and dancing and
band concerts was given, and at Ba-
varian Park the Turner's gave a gym
nastic exhibition and there also was

This country from Spain in 1876 and
was recalled in 1907. The recall OF
De Irujo was marked by an unusual
circumstance. At the request Of the
Spanish government, actuated by a
desire to avoid scandal. the state do
partment had arranged that IruJo
should depart quietly, as though his
recall had not been demanded; but, be.
ing a surly specimen of his race, he
fingered on and on. becoming more
and more a thorn in the side Of the
administration. To hints he was dumb.
and when ordered away dedantly re
piled that he would suit his own pleas
ure in going, a course Of action which
resulted in the enactment Of statute
empowering the president TO arrest
and convey out Of the United States
any envoy who remained after his re-
call and reasonable notice to leave

VISITING GOWN

/ saw a cleverly arranged dress this
week which surpasses anything I yet
have seen in dress beauty. and this is
saying a great deal. for have seen
some beauties in the itinerary of my
travels through Fashiondom This
dress was a fine white silk net, dot
ted with raised pinheads OF white silk.
1t was made over a foundation Of
lavender. which was almost white, so
dainty was the tint. The waist was
very simple, though the trimming was
beautiful and neatly arranged. Below
a square yoke of Irish point all-over
were three clusters OF purple grapes
which half covered the front of the
waist. over the shoulders passed
two narrow velvet ribbons, which
formed shoulder straps; they passed
under the net at the bust line, and
fell below the waist line where they
were finished on the points with pur-
pie tassels to match the ribbon, four
in all being used. A velvet girdle
completed the waist trimming. The
skirt was made a trihe full around
the waist. and was fashioned en- train
Four bands Of velvet ribbon about
two and .one-half inches wide encircled
the bottom of the skirt. and wore
placed about six inches apart. The
hem was covered with one ribbon.
while the upper one was a trihe below
the knee line.
The Noticeable feature Of the. com
plete costume was the hat. which was
a white chalk straw with a beehive
crown surrounded with purple velvet,

edge of the brim. Three immense

THE USE OF LEMONS

Lemon Juice has been found power
ful enough to kill typhoid fever germs
and it is advised for ms as a preVen-
tive of the disease which is always
at its worst during the summer sea-
son. Drink lemonade and eat lem
ons with sugar If you can. Many per-
sons use lemon and salt. eating hali
a lemon in the morning or evening
as a cure for rheumatism. After pro-
longed illness if a great quantity OF
medicine was used. it is advisable to
use lemons in abundance. as they
counteract any poison in the body
which resulted from powerful drugs.
