Hires
and Beauty

1t is common mistake to think that
the use of good soap makes pure skin
1t does-but on one side only. How are
you cleansing the other side-the side
from which it gathers the greater i'm
puritieS?
Are you drinking plenty of pure
water! You should but more than
water, you should drink Hires and drink
it freely-Hires refreshes you and con-
tinues its mission of good by blending
the food, making it digestible, purifying
the blood and cleansing the kidneys, thus
keeping open all the channels through
which the impurities escape, giving your
skin health and glow from within. No
matter what other imperfectionS you
may have "a transparent skin and a
pleasant smile will give you beauty.
But don't ask for rootbeer-ask for
Hires and thus be sure to get the only

This afternoon States Attorney

On many of the farms of our people
the oats were cut for hay early in the
season. At the recent dry farming
convention at Rapid City. s. D.. fully
twenty farmers assured me that their
crops this year would undoubtedly
exceed the yield of any previous
year"
There Is no question that our ag-
ricultural methods have been lax.
wasteful, and incautious. because ma

harsh teachings of necessity are
about the only instructions that tell

the older methods OF other lands and
to discover constantly new ones. I'm
