be followed year after year like the
production of corn and other grains
in this state. He said he remember
ed very we'll a year or so ago when
the onion crop of Texas laid on the
ground and rotted when there was
no market for them. So far as spec
ializing is concerned he believed that
a farmer in this section could de-
vote his entire farm to the one pro-
duct and secure as large a crop as
in the south.
Mr.. Seaton said he believed the
South Dakota farmer had better re-
main right on his farm than to move
up into Canada or any other country
for in the years to come he felt that
he would be richer and would be
just as successful, if not more so
than by going to a country where it
was given over to the farming of
special products.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. "A Mitchell Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular Weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And SO it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Mitchell people tes-
titled to permanent cures.
Mrs. George H. Rohde, SOC e.
Sixth ST., Mitchell, S. D., says: Il
can say that Doan's Kidney Pills live
up to every representation made for
them. One box which l procured at
Diehl & Browns Drug Store, cured
me of a dull aching in the small of
my back, due to disordered kidneys
and l have not had a return of the
trouble. l conscientiously recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as a reliable

THE DRAMA ENJOYED
sThc Lion and the Mouse" Made /;
Big Hit With the Iheatregoers
on Friday Evening.

Notwithstanding the fact that 1.-The
Lion and the Mouse" has been seen
in Mitchell lelc.e here was a good
audience at the second production
Friday evening at the Gale theatre.
The faces of the company were all
new with the exception of the gen
tleman who played Senator Roberts.
OF course the central figures of the
intensely interesting drama are those
of John Burkett Ryder and Shirley
Roosmore, presented with faultless
work by Oliver Doud Byron and Miss
Edith Barker. Mr.. Byron was in the
original cast of the drama and has
played it a great number of times,
and he gives that finish of detail to
the minutest point which so satisfies
an audience. He is especially strong
when the personality of Miss Ross
more is revealed to him, and at this
same point Miss Barker developed
into the charming and sincere actress
that she is. She delivered her lines
with an impassioned effort and with
strong decision of character. Her
features revealed the intense feeling
that she possesses in that short but
bitter recital, when she tells Ryder
Just what he is in the eyes of the
world. 1t was a great scene and lost
nothing in the hands of these cap
Malcolm Duncan gave a good por-
years shows a vigorous character in
the work, and despite the fact that
he was suffering with a severe cold,
rose to the occasion with a splendid
effort. Miss Barker is a charming
actress and Won the hearts of all as
she progressed through the play.
Malcolm DDuncan gave a good por-
trayal of the weak Jefferson Ryder
at the start and presented a strong
front at the proper moment. The
supporting members of the company
were excellent throughout and the
scenic effects were in harmony with
the drama.

GOOD CHANCE In S. D.

Farmers as Any State in the
Country

A. B. Seaton said to The Republic
can that when he came from his re-
cent trip to the coast states and on
the way back, he completed a visit
to every state in the union-which is
~ travelling. Mr.. Seaton said that
in all the years he has been away in
the various states he had always
given particular attention TO inves-
tigating the condition of farming and
fruit raising in order to compare
them with the conditions in South
Dakota. He has lived in this state
for a great many years and knows
the situation here thoroughly. Mr..
Seaton said that there was not one
state in which he has travelled which
showed any better opportunity for
the farmer to make money from the
soil either by agriculture or fruit
than right here in South Dakota. He
said he heard of the stories that had
been sent up from Texas and other
southern states concerning the pro-
duction. of onions and cabbages on

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be G.-ested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

The remark illustrates what is the matter with

JOAN OF ARC

l wonder if all the little boys
and girls know about Joan of Arc
and how she led the French SOL
diers into battle against the Eng
lish and won. This was nearly 500
years ago.
She was only a little peasant
girl whose parents were very
poor, and she had to tend sheep
and cattle.
But when she was 10 years old
she used to hear strange voices
talking to her out on the hills, and
they seemed to come from heaven.
The voices always told oan the
same thing: "oJan, thou art ap-
pointed by heaven to go and help
the dauphin.'
Now the dauphin was French
prince whose country was in the
hands of the English, and he
didn't know what to do to save it.
Joan went to the dauphin and
told him what the voices had said
to her. The dauphin was so I'M
happy about his poor country that
he was glad to have even peasant
girl help him if she could, so he
had great warship and a sword
given to her. And, as said be-
fore, she won the victory for the
dauphin and his people.
