Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II person would correct his habits,
persist In right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would b
right But as said before there are .
multitude OF people who will not or can
not adopt right methods Of living. To
such people Peruna Is boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach TO
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train Of Ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna Is helpful 10
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but 1t assists the

CANNON ALARMED BY
NsURGENT STRENGTH.
Congressman Lloyd Predicts
Merry War in Congress When
Attacks Center on Speaker.

Washington, Oct.-That such at
tacks as 'Uncle Joe" Cannon made
on the insurgents in his speech at
Elgin, ILL.,, presage merry war IN the
House this winter, and that they indi-
cate the Speaker has taken alarm at
the growing tendency to insurgency
and opposition, is the belief of Repre-
sentative James T. Lloyd, of Missou-
ri, chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, who is now in
Washington.
1T looks as if there would be hot
time in the House this winter" said
Mr.. Lloyd. Uncle joe is evident
ly getting ready to make war on the
insurgents. His speech at Elgin is
clearly a declaration of war on them.
Such speech as that from the Speak
er indicates to my mind that he has
taken alarm at the activity and
strength Of the insurgent movement
in the Republican party.
"And he may well take alarm. The
opposition to him in the middle west
is intense and being in that part Of
the country, he probably appreciates
it.
1T is the custom Of Speaker Can
non to pay no attention to any attacks
on him. The fact that he has depart
ed from his rule and has gone out
making speeches against them is the
best possible indication that he and
his followers are frightened"
Mr.. Lloyd said the prospects for
the election Of a Democratic House
next year were excellent He said a
meeting Of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee would be held soon
after the opening Of Congress to map
out plans for the campaign. Already
the committee is doing considerable
work. More will be done through

THEY GET OFF
CHEAP AT THAT.
A Scratch in Company Manners
Many Times Cause Breach
of Promise Suits.

of Promise Suits.
From London Tit-Biss.
The reader of breach of promise
cases must often wonder how ii is
that man goes so far as to become
engaged, write the most passionate
love-letters, spend every night in the
week with his girl, arrange for the
wedding, order the furniture, and
then suddenly turn around and tell
the girl he doesn't think he will marry
her after all.
AS rule, it is generally put down
to the INCONSISTENCY of man, but read
ing between the lines there is evil
dence in many cases that the girl is
Tilted simply, because she shows her
real self before marriage.
| Here is case in point. The writ
er recently met a young fellow who
had been mulced to the extent of $50
lbs. damages for breaking his engage
ment to girl who had worn his ring
for twelve months.
"a nice mess you've made of
things" | remarked.
"Should have made bigger mess
if had married her." he grimly re-
piled. "My word, she would have
been handful. Igot out of it cheap
at $50 lbs, although it may take me
ten years to pay it.
Zone day met a chum, | had not
seen for ten years. We had a conviv-
ial time together, and, unfortunately
] forgot had an appointment with
my young lady. However, | hurried
away and reached her house an hour
and half late. was just about to
ring the bell when heard her voice
through the open window threaten
ing me with all sorts of pains and
penalties for daring to miss the ap-
pointment-this mark you, before
she had heard word of explanation
from me; and because her mother
ventured to demonstrate with her,
she turned up on the dear old lady
and told her she did not know what
she was talking about. That was
enough for me and | cleared off. |
wouldn't have married the girl if she
had 10000 lbs year Of her own"
There is not the least doubt, too,
that many girls are fitted for the sim
pie reason that they get an exaggerat-
ed notion of what may be termed
rights and privileges. There is
type of girl who, the moment she
consents to become mans wife,
thinks that consent entities her to an
entire subservience to her wishes on
the part of the man. She expects
him to be at her beck and call at all
times, to sacrifice his pleasure for her
own and to cater for her amusement
in every possible way. If he fails in
any one of these respects, she pro-
ceeds to take him to task and the re-
suit is that the man decides that she
is not the girl for him.
1t will often be found, too, that pa
rents are mixed up in breach-of-
promise suit rather prominently. A
man naturally resents being told that
he should not do this and that by the
parents of his prospective bride. AS
one magistrate remarked short time
ago, while listening to a breach-of-
promise case, in which is was shown
that one of the reasons for the brok-
en- engagement was the dictatorial at
titude on the part of the girls pa
rents, "What lot of trouble and
bother would be saved if there were
not so many foolish busybodies in the
world"

THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY
LEARNS OF SCARCITY OF
STUDENT MINISTER'S.
DIR. j. w. COCHRAN ATTRIBUTES
SITUATION TO CONDITIONS
IN THE HOME.

Denver, May 24.-Dr. Joseph w.
Cochran, of Philadelphia, secretary
of the Presbyterian board of edu-
cation, addressed the general assem-
bly, of the church today. He de-
plored the lack OF recruits for the
ministry and in reference to the
report of the board said that the
church has not taken the trouble
to stir up sufficient number of
ministerial recruits to work among
immigrants. DR.. Cochran said
among other things: 1--WE can't
get enough young men to preach be-
cause there is little religion in the
home. The young man on finishing
his high school education goes to
the college or university and when
he returns home he puts religion at
a low ebb among his associates"
The committee report urges that
evangelistic work among immi-
grants be carried on in their native
tongue and that theological stud
ents study foreign laguages. The
assembly was told that the American
Tract society is in need of more
funds and that the board of foreign
missions has asked the society to
print arithmetics for the people of
foreign lands.

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA MAY

trout supper. boarded the north
bound Northwestern passenger
train at 1928 o'clock en- rouet to his
home. Mr.. Fishel, accompanied by
G. A. Wiegand, o. N. Worley and
Norton Brown spent the day fishing
at Blackhawk. The four made the
return trip to Rapid City on hand
car and Mr.. Fishel assisted in pump
ing the machine, and he did pump
until almost exhausted. Then he
sat down, but his rest was short.
There was grinding noise, followed
by rap and Mr. Fishel felt himself
being drawn toward the center of
the car. He called to his companions
and the brake was applied. Mr..
'Fishel made an attempt to arise,
but that was impossible. The other
men backed up the car and ex-
tracted the victim of circumstances.
The four men took look at Mr..
Fishel's overcoat and one of them
volunteered the suggestion that he
go to tailor and have it cut off
foot or fourteen inches. The lower
part of the garment had become
entangled in the cogs with the result
that several big holes were ground in
the cloth, but that was a trivial
matter, compared with the fun Mr..
Fishel had. He promised to come
back again, several times yet this
summer.
