case?" The Star man asked. Both
men evaded the question. Then be-
gan, at the old mans hands, the
examination. 1t was a wonder, from
the point of view of medicine or
psychology. Also farce. The old
man asked the reporters age, his
place of residence, his work. Then
he felt his pulse.
"Why, this is serious!" he ex-
claimed. Your heart is seriously
affected"
He applied stethoscope. Shak-
ing his head mournfully, he asked
the patient" to move his arm up
and down, while he listened with
the instrument at the reporters
shoulder.
Young man, you are in terrible
condition." he exclaimed. your
joints are so full of deposits of uric
acid that they crate like sand. Your
whole system is full of uric acid
and your heart is in bad way. 1t
is SO poisoned with acid you will
steadily grow worse until your
joints are swollen and stiffened and
in short time you will die"
Then he made the reporter put
out his tongue, and again he shook
his head. After an apparent exam
ination with microscope the doc
tor said he had the case diagnosed.
Can you cure me?' the reporter
asked.
IF our directions are followed a
cure is certain" both doctors"
agreed.
How much will it cost"
TO COST 500.
"We will cure you for 500 in ad-
vance,"
"Will it take long, and will it
keep me from work."
"No; with our wonderful prepare.
ton we will cure you in a month. :"
Can you guarantee that"
IF we were sure you would fol-
low directions we would guarantee
it, but we are never sure, so we
never guarantee. Anyway, it is
against the law"
Both seemed anxious thai lie re-
porter should pay over the money
at once, so, as they said, "the medi-
cine could be prepared right away"
Explaining that his money was in
the bank, the reporter promised to
come back at 4 o'clock. They tried
to get him to deposit IS, but the re-
porter refused.

A Jew may work on Sunday
in Washington regardless Of the
state law, but may he sell gro
ceries? That is the question
that is up to Justice Samuer
Hyde.
A. Wiseman, a grocer's cIer'o,
was arrested for selling grocer
les in violation of the Sunday
closing law, and while admit
ting that he sold the goods, he
advances the defense that he Is
a Jew, observes a different day
for devotions and rest, and
therefore should be exempt
from the law.
Deputy Prosecutor A. c. CIau-
sen comedies that a Jew may
work on Sunday because of the
difference in his religious be-
lief, but holds that he cannot
sell groceries on that day.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautifed, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfguring rashes, itchings,
irritatiens and chaf1ngs dispelled.
To this end, nothing is SO pure, so
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston, for their free
B2-page Cuticura Book, telling all about
he care and treatment of the skin.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. May $50 far as
can be learned local authorities are
making no investigation of the alleged

the alleged victim.

tire charge of her case up to the time
she died, unite in saying she died of
pneumonia, 1t being her second attack,
the first having been experienced in
New York state prior to her departure
for Sioux Falls.
That DR.. Durham could have had no
motive, but that he on the other hand
was interested in Mrs. Hunt remaining

STATE HIGH SCHOOLS IN

assembly room in Ward hall, at Yank-
ton, Friday, May 10. Last year the
contestants represented high schools
from all parts of the state, 90 young
men and women taking part.
A new feature last year, which made
the contest especially interesting, was
the division of the contestants into
w classes. These We're the "oratori-
cal class" and the general class" In
he former, the selections were taken
from great masterpieces of oratory,
while in the latter there was no limi-
tation as to choice of selection. This
proved so successful that it will be con-
tlnued as a permanent feature of the
contest. A large number of young men
competed in the oratoricai class.
A large number Of entries have al
ready reached the committee, among
which are some from schools not hith-
erto represented. 1t is expected that
this will be the best and largest con-
test ever held here since the beginning
OF the state contest movement.
