a churn. In the stomach and digestive

The evil Of foul stomach Is not alone

1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-

pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swelings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

until science learns to manufacture
Frankensteins, every sort of woman,
when young, is as prone to the di-
sease of love as to the micrObOus af-
ened intellects of the modern female
teach her to observe not only that
indulgence in the primitive blessings
is often productive of a tame happi-
ness at best, but it is mere chance
if she does not waste several years
Of her active youth waiting for some
man to exert his ~inalienable right to
WOO and propose.
A mar may trample down barriers,
make opportunities, persist, over
whelm, but a woman, with double the
fascination and intelligence, must
either stoop to contemplate schem-
ing or proudly bide her time, as like
ly as not to miss her one chance of
happiness because circumstances do
not give her the opportunity to reveal
herself to the kindred spirit.
If she can not pursue a man as a
man pursues a woman when he wants
her; if she has not the supreme at
fractions which bring a man to a
woman's feet with a flash of the eye,
she can at least avoid the mean sub
terfuges of the Observation-Disclosures, and
lead a life in which man as a love-
factor is practically eliminated. She
can also enjoy much the same privi-
leges as men, until, perhaps-who

NO LACK OF SCHOOLS.

South Dakota is well supplied with
schools for high learning. In addi-
ton to the common country schools
and the graded schools or the high
schools, found in every town, there
are four state institutions for the
training of teachers, one school of
mines, n college of agriculture,
and the state university, all support
ed by taxation. Besides these there
are seven colleges supported by re-
ligious organizations. This gives us
one institution of higher learning
for every 5000 Of population.
This duplication of educational
facilities is defended IN the ground
that the population of the state is
now only a small fraction of what
years. At the present each n of the
colleges has more students in its sub
freshman and associate departments
than it has in the college proper.
The state schools are reasonably well
supplied with money. The. others
are in more or less active competition
both for funds and for students.
This situation has it's good aspects as
well as its bad ones. A number of
small colleges undoubtedly present
more opportunities to the youth of
limited mean than a single large one.
The attraction of nearness and acces-
sibility is also a strong argument to
encourage the seeking of college edu-
cation. The small college also has
the advantage in the matter of the
simplicity of student habits, and in
the close personal relation between
pupil and teacher. Whether This
competition will work toward the
ennobling of college ideals or the de-
graduation of the same will depend
ultimately on public sentiment.-Hu-
ron State Spirit.

We have always claimed that an
editor could run a town better than
any other man and now Jan Iowa
newspaper man has undertaken to
prove our theory. Editor Pilkington
Of the Merchants Trade Journal of
Des Moines, has taken charge of the
town of Dexter, having a population of
about 500, and will seek to prove that
advertising and city methods of mer-
chandising can be a decided success in
the small towns. The editor has abso-
lutte charge of every business house
in the town, as well as the municipal
government, and at the end of seven
months, when his term of office ex-
pires, he declares that the profits of
the stores will be doubled and that
the entire town will enjoy a prosperity
heretofore unknown. And we haven't
the slightest doubt but that he will
make good.
