LONDON. October % 1909
Twenty men Of the North Lancashire
Regiment have just undergone a test for
two weeks to prove. the sustaining power
or limited rations. The men have marched
for fortnight on Salisbury plain under
service conditions. carrying rife and bay
onet, with $50 rounds OF ammunition.
They have covered between 16O and 10
miles OF hard marching. mostly In bad
weather, sleeping under canvas and cook
ing their own meals.
No special selection Of men was made
as the purpose OF the test was to ascer-
tain the effect of q strict and limited diet
on an average batch of soldiers varying
in height. weight and chest measurement
For the first week canned rations alone
were issued. Some of the men put on
weight others lost flesh. In every case
the effect Of canned rations on the capac-
ity for marching was bad, leaving the
men without energy or the desire to do
more than endure existence.
During the second week the ordinary
service rations were issued. consisting of
IL pounds fresh meat or 1 pound nominal
preserved meat or 1 pound salt meat; IL
pounds bread or 1 pound biscuit or
pound -four; y ounce tea; 1-36 ounce pep
per; u pound jam; ounces sugar; Il
served vegetables. On this the men
marched from fourteen to twenty miles
day and began again to enjoy life and
gave evidence Of returning energy by
playing foot ball and hockey after the
march.
Missed Their Cigarettes.
Beer spirits and cigarettes were with
held during the first week. but for the
second week two ounces Of tobacco was
issued to each smoker 1t was noted that.

bles the men developed craving for

Better Not Get
Dyspepsia
If you can help it. Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by
effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion.
But don't trifle with Indigestion.

A great many people who have
trifed with indigestion, have been
sorry for it-when nervous or
chronic dyspepsia resulted, and
they have not been able to cure it.
Use Kodol and prevent having
Dyspepsia.
Everyone is subject to indiges-
ton. Stomach arrangement follows
stomach abuse, just as naturally
and just as surely as a sound and
healthy stomach results upon the
taking of Kodol.
When you experience sourness
of stomach, belching Of gas and
nauseating fluid, bloated sensation,
gnawing pain in the pit Of the
stomach, heart burn (so-called),
diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or
chronic tired feeling-you need Ko-
dol. And then the quicker you take
Kodol-the better. Eat what you
want, let Kodol digest it.

Wednesday evening Henry Fider-

The report was Wal received and con-
tanned many cheering items conc Ill
ing the Christian Endeavor work
within the bounds of the Presbytery
of Southern Dakota.
The presiding officer, Rev. ID. I.
Kuhn, called on Mr.. John N. Pell, of
this city, who spoke on GLOW to Win
Young Men to Christian Work" The
speaker confessed tina! the question
was a .nrge III and that doubtless
many answers cou!i be made con-
corning it; but the divine answer
was the one he would seek, as it. was
the only true solution of the ques-
ton, which al, churches anywhere
were asking. Vital and spiritual con-
nection with Jesus Christ was set
forth as the great essential in the
work of soul winning. Emphasis was
laid on the fact tha. Christian efforts
to be truly successful must be &C
companied by the Holy Spirit, with
out. whose aid nothing of spiritual
Importance can be accomplished. The
speaker held that the truths in the
bible must oe implanted in the hearts
of Christian workers and be %translat-
ed in their lives in order to succeed
in winning young men to Christ and
the church. Ike address was given
the closest attention by the large
audience, and a good Impression was
made by the speakers earnestness
and able presentation Of the subject.
After Miss Ella Preston mad sung
He Shall Give His Angels Charge"
the Rev. Willis l.. Gelston delivered
a very interesting address on "Our
Young Peoples Societies and the
Church" The speaker dwelt chiefly
upon the rise and progress of the
Christian Endeavor movement. He
gave also some practical illustrations
of the enormous amounts paid an
nually for liquor and tobacco compar-
ed with the meager sums expended
on educational, charitable and relig-
ious work. The speaker closed by
encouraging societies to make spec
ial efforts to add to their numbers
and widen their respective fields of
activity.
God be with you till we meet
again." was sung and the benediction
was pronounced by DR.. Macmurray.
At this meeting the convention, by
a rising vote. passed resolutions of
thanks to the Mitchell people who
had so royalty entertained the dele
gates, also to the local committee of
management, as we'll as to the choir
and pastor of the First Presbyterian
church for what they had done to-
ward making this the best conven-
ton ever held in the history of the
Union in Southern Dakota Presby-
terry.

EUREKA LAND SCHOOL
The Lutheran College Was Placed a
Eureka After Il Year of Investi-
eating Towns.

About a year ago the Lutheran Sy-
nod sent a representative here to
work up some enthusiasm among the
people of the City for the location of
the Lutheran college, it being desir-
able to establish some such institu-
ton in this state to handle the stu
dents who were going in too large
numbers to the Iowa college.
There were a number of towns in
the field for the location of the COL
lege, and they commenced to dwindle
as the bids went too high, and it was
finally narrowed down to a matter of
Two OF three places. The Parkston
Advance has the following concern
ing the fnal. location of the institu-
ton:
The proposed college of the Dakota
District OF the Iowa Synod has been
voted to Eureka. The delegation
from Parkston fought a heroic battle
for three days to secure it for Park
ston, yet the majority remained
against them. The fact that Parkston
was too far south for the District
was the only and decisive objection.
The district reaches as far south as
Scotland. s. D., and north to the
Canadian line. Aberdeen had not
made an offer and therefore was
not taken into consideration. st.
James. Mimi, offered an $4,000
building for $4,000, yet on ac-
count of being on M end of the
district was also out of the ques-
ton. The meeting voted that a
building at a cost of 100000 should
be erected. This is supposed to be
spent for the college building only,
houses for professors. etc. For the
maintenance of the college the gen
eral synod will be requested to fur
nish $4,000 annually, the rest will
be raised by collections in the dis
trict, while the business depart
ment will be put on a self paying
basis.
The Dakota district of the Iowa
Synod is composed of about 144 con-
gregations and has been making a
rapid progress in the last few years.
Rev. Lambertus of this city was ell
ected to the Office of cashier of the
District Synod. Rev. Tecklenburg
and Rev. Lambertus were elected
delegates of this conference to the
/ general Synod which will be in ses-
sion at Waverly. Iowa, next year.
Rev. Meyer, of belmont, was elected
v~isitator Of the South Dakota minis
terial conference.

Sad Case of Insanity.

Alexandria Herald: Miss Terrease
Munster, whose former home was
neal Epiphany, in this county, and
who, it will be remembered was plac-
ed in a private sanitarium at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, a little over a year
ago to receive treatment for a form
of mental disability, was by that in
stitution recently pronounced incur
able, and last week was brought to
Alexandria by her sister, assisted by
James w. Mcpherson. On Friday of
last week, the young woman was adj
Judged insane by the authorities of
the county and OF Saturday, ac-
companied by the sister and Mr.. Nc
Pherson was taken to Yankton and
committed to the state asylum for
the insane. The former home was
with her grandmother, Mrs. Grass
man, near Epiphany, in the vicinity
of which place her girlhood was pass
ed. BY those who have known her
lIOul CllllulOOu, IL is Sdlu size WAS dl
unusually bright and promising girl.
Left an orphan at al early age, a
good common school education was
acquired through her own efforts.
after which a course in a commercial
college gave her great proficiency in
clerical work and for a time she was
employed by one of the leading bust
ness firms at Sioux Fails. and during
which employment. under the excess
i've strain of work an6 study, her
mind gradually gave way. The case
is particularly sad because the girl
is an orphan, and with no other near
relative than the sister, who, from
her meager means, has borne the
entire expense of her unfortunate
sisters treatment and maintenance
at the Iowa institution in the hope
that the n upon whom she had
lavished the affection of her life
might be returned, must now be re-
conciled to being forever deprived of
her companionship.
