The following special from
Watertown, S ID, under date of
Oct. ~ will be of interest to
our readers as Hankinson is on

could hardly be missed by the
railway extension referred to:

ago by this road to extend it's

the western part of the city,
ostensibly to run its passenger
trains in to the union depot OF
the Rock Island aud the Min

was blocked by the Great West
ern and the matter is now be-
fore the city council as to which
company has the right TO the
disputed strip of land over
which the South Dakota Gen.
trail proposed to extend its
track. At present the South
Dakota Central tracks run into
a pocket in Watertown bound

been occupied by a siding of
the Great Northern for more
than 20 years and the latter
road refuses to vacate. How.
ever, the Central il assembling
in it's yards here cords of ties
and other building material in
amounts beyond the needs of
any possible city expansion of

that it has nothing short of an

Curran, who was also very partial to

seemed to have a mutual respect for
each others talent, and, as it may
easily be imagined, OLeary versus
Curran was no bad match.
One day after dinner Curran said to
him: Reverend father. wish you
were ST. Peter"
And why, counselor, would you wish
that I were St. Peter?" asked
O'Leary.
Because, reverend father, in that
case," said Curran. you would have
the keys OF heaven, and you could let
me in"

Emily P. Bissell, who was allied both

berculosis society, instituted the plan
OF selling Christmas stamps, the funds
to be devoted to the local fight against
consumption. The idea had come
from Denmark. How the pennies &C.
cumulated in that first sale! And how
the dollars grew!
That experiment started the Amer.
lean Red Cross to thinking, and they
reasoned that here was a war against
| more devastating disease than any
war or pestilence that had ever been
known. Why not have an emergency
relief fund for use in this war in all
parts OF the United States, since the
enemy was everywhere? The idea of
a national stamp was therefore
launched in 1908, and with little or no
organization, over $4,000 was raised
for the fight against tuberculosis.
In 1909 more systematic ATTEMPT
to organize the sale was made. A per.
centage of 20 per cent was charged
by the American Red cross to each To-
cal agent selling stamps, the sales ag-
aggregating fully s250,oOO. What is
even greater, this sale was the means
of interesting in the war on consump-
ton thousands of people who had
never before given this subject their
attention.
The outlook for 1910 is extremely
bright. The sale will be organized
before Christmas to a greater or less
degree in almost every state In the
Union. "A Million fer tuberculosis"
is the slogan of the campaign. AL
ready 25,000,000 stamps have been is

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until. when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
In a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. l was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. l could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then 1 would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said 1t must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
toilet soap before, now decided to
order set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half a cake
Of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then l have
had no scalp trouble Of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had it not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald

RED CROSS SEALS
Novel Way of Conducting War
on the White Plague.
How the Anti-TubercuIosis Campaign
Is Financed and. Relief Fund
Raised by the Aid of Little
Christmas Stickers.

New York.-Wars always produce q
new supply of emergency measures
for the relief of the sick and wounded.
1t is not surprising, then, that the Civil
war, with it's hundreds of thousands
of manned and wounded soldiers,
coupled with Yankee ingenuity, should
have brought into existence the stamp
as means of raising money for the
soldiers relief funds. The scheme was
first instituted in Boston In 1852 at the
United States Sanitary fair, but SO
successful was the idea that other
fairs in Brooklyn, Stamford and
Springfield, Mass, at once adopted It..
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were
raised in this way.
So popular, however, did the stamp
become, that the public became sati-
ated, and soon after the war the sale
of stamps for charitable purposes fell
into disuse in this country. In Europe
the charity stamp was adopted In Por-
tugal for the first time in 1892, and has
been initiated with varying success in
almost every country on the continent,
and even in Australia and the Orient.
1t was war that again brought the
stamp into national prominence in the
United States, but not a war of guns
and of fields of carnage. 1t was war
Of enlightenment against ignorance;
war of cleanliness on filth; a war of
health against disease-the great
American war against tuberculosis.
While the Civil war, with its slaugh-
ter and death, killed about 100000 gov
eminent troops in four years, and
MANNED perhaps twice that number,
every year that silent, subtle foe, tu-
berculosis, Stays 100000, and lays low
three to five times that number. A
war, therefore, against such an en-
envy demanded and still demands am
munition and varied resources. To
furnish these necessary supplies for
war, the Red Cross stamp was first
launched on national basis by the
American Red Cross in 1908.
The year before, in 1907, the first
sale of stamps for charitable purposes
for more than generation had taken
