Mix it Yourself BY Shaking In
gredientS in Bottle.
SIMPlEiHOMt- MADE REMEDY
Hundreds of People in Vicinity
Will Welcome This Advice.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, which is said
to be a positive remedy for backache
or kidney or bladder arrangement, if
taken before the stage of Bright's
disease.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon, me ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in ~teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A w~ell-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton, stated that the ingredients are
all harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up If asked to do So. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic aflic.
tons with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache as it has
n peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to-
sift and filter from the blood the foul
acids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no mis-
take in giving it a trial.

Doane Robinson has been making
population estimates, and based his
figures upon the school census, using
the same ratio between school popula-
ton and total population as was shown
by the 1905 census of the state. On
that basis, with Indians considered to
be just the same in number as they
were in 1905, the population OF the
state is 300 900. Stanley county leads
them all in increase. showing 2,Gi9
population in 1905 and 20,29S at the
present time. The estimates show
that while the newer counties of the
northern and western portions of the
have all increased, the counties
of the southeastern portion of the
generally show a loss.

The authorities of Charles Mix
county have inaugurated a campaign
for the enforcement of the compul-
sorry education law. The first victim
of the crusade now being waged to
compel parents to send their children
of school age to school was Steve
Blaine, a Yankton Sioux Indian living
near the town of Wagner. He refused
to send his children to school and &C.
cordingly was arrested. Blaine was
sentenced to Jail and remained there
a day or two before he relented and
agreed to send his children to the
school in the future, as required by
the law. Those who are enforcing the
law in this respect will play no favor
ties, and the case of several pale
face parents who do not send their
children to school now are being in
v~estigated, and it is probable that ar
rests will follow.

While the delinquent tax lists being
published over the state are not so
much as those of years ago, when it
took pages to present the list in the
average county, Beadle is the only
county to as yet that it
has no list to publish this year. That
there is not a tract of real estate in
the comfy IN which the taxes have
not been paid. This is a remarkable
showing, and if other counties could
come up to it the state would be in
excellent shape. Among the lists so
far published the only one which COM
plies with the law as construed by the
supreme court is that published in
Sully county, all the rest being such
that they would not stand a legal test.

The United States attorneys office
at Sioux Falls, at the direction of the
attorney general of the United States,
has instituted a civil action against
the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
company for the recovery Of $500 as
a penalty for an alleged violation of
what is known as the 2S-hour law
relating to the shipment of horses,
cattle, swine, etc. 1t is charged in
the complaint that the railroad COM
pany received a shipment of tifty-five
head of beef cattle from F. T. jackson
at Salem, S. d., and consigned to
Shinn, Fry & Co., Chicago, and that
the animals were kept in the cars for
thirty-eight consecutive hours without
rest, water and feeding. The cattle
were shipped from Salem on July %
of this year, This is the first case
ever instituted in the United States
court for South Dakota for violation
of the 2S-hour law.
