is the recipe. Try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound kargon one ounce;
Compound Syrup %Sarsparilla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist here in

ed at home by shaking we'll in a bot

healing and soothing effect upon the
entire Kidney and Urinary structure,
and often overcomes the worst forms
of Rheumatism in just a little while.
This mixture is said to remove all
blood disorders and cure the Rheu-

filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul de-
composed waste matter. which causes
these af1ictions. Try it if you aren't

the catalogue house, and that farm
ers having made one purchase and
been "stung" did not wish to repeat
the experience Ind therefore have
sworn allegiance TO the dealer. from
whom they can secure good goods
Z. j. Mannix, of Sioux Falls, was
one of the speakers on the subject
of catalogue houses. He gave an out
line of his plan of running month
by month in his publication a table
containing the names OF manufactur-
ers who refused to declare them
selves in favor of the retailer and
against the mail order houses, and
that this was proving Very effective
in bringing the manufacturers to
time. He stated mat scarcely a day
passed without his receiving from
some listed manufacturer the affida-
Wit which is necessary in order to
have the name taken out of the pub
lished list.
A dealer named O'Dell whose home
is at Montrose, stated to the owen
ton that he made a practice of pur-
chasing from people in he region
tributary to Montrose, stoves and
cream separators purchased from
mail order houses, and which have
soon become worthless owing to the
poor material of which they are COM
posed. The stoves and separators
thus purchased are then placed on
exhibition in his store, he taking
pains to have the exhibits adorned
with a history of where they We're
purchased, the time they We're in
use, etc. He stated that this method
was very effective and held for him
on a number of occasions trade which
otherwise might have gone to a mail
order house.
A few of the dealers favored April
l as the discount date, stating that
dealers could pay as we'll then as on
June or July 1, and that it would be
| better all around. The majority,
however, appeared to favor the later
date.
During the afternoon discussion
President McDougall stated he had
placed his business on practically a
cash basis, as he does not permit
goods of any considerable value to
leave his place of business without
the cash being paid or the purchaser
giving him a note for the amount of
the purchase. He urged that all
dealers follow a like course.
An interesting feature of the af-
ternoon a an address on several
different topics by M. d. Thompson,
of Vermillion. In reviewing his ca
Dakota he state that for forty years
he had been engaged in the farm ma
chinery business at Vermillion. He
stated further that he thought he
was entitled to the honor of having
sold the first mower ever sold in
Dakota Territory, and that he also
had sold the first reaper ever sold in
Dakota. In addition he also sold the
first wire binder in Dakota.
Before the conclusion of the after
noon session E. j. Mannix, of Sioux
Falls, arose and presented an invi-
tation in behalf of his city for the as
sociation to hold its next annual
meeting at Sioux Falls. Accompany
ing his verbal invitation Mr.. ManniS
presented a written invitation signed
by practically all the leading bust
ness men of Sioux Falls. The mat
ter was laid over for the time being
with the understanding that it should
receive attention at the proper time.

FEWER WOMEN AT WORK.
Demand Declining In London Except
in the General Postoffice.

For lady clerks there seems to be
less demand than formerly" states
the report OF the employment depart
ment OF the London chamber OF com,
meroe dealing with the condition OF
the clerical labor market during the
closing quarter OF last year.
The manager of an important Lon
don business. on being asked the other
night whether he could give any expla-
nation of the declining popularity of
lady clerks noted by the chamber OF
was that many lady clerks looked for
great deal of consideration. They
expected to be paid as men and to be
treated as women. They disliked be.
Ing taken to task when they did their
work inadvertently and were too fond
OF appealing to the chivalry of the
mere male.
Another business manager thought
that the standard OF attachments re-
CURED had risen of recent years and
many of the lady clerks in the market
were not up to 1t. He said that he
found that women did routine work
well but showed little or no initiative,
and when set any task which was com
plicated or which involved much
thought they were apt to fail, with a
few brilliant exceptions.
On the other hand it is worth notice
that the general postofiice makes great
and increasing use OF lady clerks for
work involving considerable RESPONSE
bility. Thus the savings bank depart
ment at West Kensington is largely
stated by women, and its heads have
repeatedly testified to their compe-
tence and efficiency in carrying out
duties which demand high degree of
accuracy.

guns and the birds fell, clean shot, to
their right barrels.
Coulson, next to the girl, saw them
drop while he was getting his gun to
his shoulder; and before he had ex.
planned his slowness to himself Kit
had stopped hare ten yards In front

He turned and stared at her. She

similar reasons, wasted two cartridges
