Is Your Family Reading worth WhilIe?"

So much of current reading Is
merely entertaining at best that
the question naturally arises. Is
it worth while? Your sons and
daughters are bound to read
something. They hunger for
stories which take them into the
other halt of the world-the world
of adventure, or valor, of fortune
making. The problem is to give
them such reading without put
ting into their hands the litera
ture that is either silly or demor-
allzing. The editors of The
Youths Companion believe that a
periodical can be made entertain.
ing and yet "worth WHILE" and
The companion is conducted on
that theory. And that is one rea
son why more than half million
American families read 1t. The
paper is safe, but not dull. Its
tales of adventure illustrate the
advantages of fortitude and self
rellance. Its stories of character
lay stress on the truth that right
conduct is never mistake.

Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the
Real Cause of their Condition

These poor, suffering women
have been led to believe that their
misery of mind and body is entire
ly due to ellis of their sex" Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re-
sponsible-or largely so. And in
such cases, the kidneys and blad-
der are the organs, that need and
must have attention.
Those torturing, enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,
groin and limbs, bloating and SWELL
ing Of the extremities, extreme
nervousness or hysteria, lstless-
ness and constant tired, worn-out
feeling-are almost certain symp-
toms OF disordered and diseased
kidneys, bladder and liver.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills have, in thousands of cases,
been demonstrated as remarkably
beneficial in all such conditions of
female organism-affordin the
most prompt relief and permanent
benefit.
AS an illustration OF what these
Pills will do, Mrs. p. NJ. Bray of
Columbus, Ca, writes that she was
very i'll with kidney trouble, and
that she Is now well-and that
these Pills are what cured her.
They are very pleasant to take,

deleterious effects upon the system

LIABILITY Law
Railroad Mans Widow Wins
Verdict for $4,000 Under
Recent Statute.

Sioux Falls. S. d., April 30..--In the
first case brought under the South Da
kota employers liability law, passed by
the 1907 legislature the act stood the
test of the federal court and resulted
in a verdict of $4,000 for the widow of
Martin Westby, yard master for tho
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad. at
Madison. He was run over and killed
in the Madison yards because of the
negligence of other employees of the
company.
1t is not unlikely that this will be
made the basis of a test case in the
United States supreme court to de-
termine the validity of law denying
the railroad companies the right to set
up the negligence of a fellow servant
as defense against claims for dam
ages The United States supreme
court has never passed upon this act
ss state law, the federal statute hav-
ing been declared unconstitutional be-
cause. while passed under the inter-
state commerce clause of the constitu-
tion, 1t undertook to govern cases aris-
ing wholly within state. The Mil
waulee & st. Paul railroad, in this
case, it is stated, will appeal to the

LIE BEAU TO HAVE
THE LAND OFFICE

1.eIscau, s. D., May 1.-The feasibil-
ity of the route now being selected by
surveyors i'm the field west of the river
for the Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
way will without question determine
the removal of the United States land
office from Aberdeen to this place be-
fore the time set for the opening of
the Standing Rock and Cheyenne In
dian reservations.
The extension of the road which will
cross the river at LeBeau, will follow
the valley of the Moreau river practic-
ally to the western extremity of the two
reservations. extending westward also
through the center of Butte county,
This route will make all points Of both
reservations nearer to LeBeau by nearly
100 miles than Aberdeen. which is that
distance east of the river. The valley
route followed by the ST. Louis also
gives much easier access to all points in
both reservations.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis is first
in the new field with it's survey and
will also be first in construction which
wilt begin within very short time so
that the line may be pushed Well toward
the interior of the reservation country
during the summer
