The Wool Industry

Pierre-The shearing season is IN
der way in the sheep section Of the
state, and will continue into June,
some owners waiting until after lamb
ing season is over before taking up
that line OF their work. Not many
buyers have yet shown ~, and those
who have come have started the prices
at from IS cents to % cents, but at
that figure not many growers are let
ting go. The sheen losses in some
portions Of the northwest were heavy
for the winter. and this is believed to
be enough of a factor to reduce TIE
supply to a point where the owner

lions OF this state were severe, but the
state has not suffered any such loss
as was net by the wool e owes at

this subject effects a tremendous pref

the great masses of people afflicted
with cancer have consulted their home
physicians early and late. | find that
the average physician is positively as
ignorant, either of the diagnosis or the
remedy for cure of cancer, as the
most ordinary unprOfessional citizen.
This is a sweeping statement. but it
is true. Perhaps the greatest cause
of this prejudice against the system
of medicine or caustics for cure of can
Ger is due to a lack Of experience and
instruction in this definite line, and
not due TO any lack of desire to do
the human race good. In many in
stances the physician has seen the
hopelessness of treating with the knife.
and frankly told his patient so. This
course is better than to hold him
under treatment, as many do, doing
nothing himself, and giving the pa
tient no chance of relief anywhere
else until IT is everlastingly too late.
Now, if physicians would go outside
of the profession and outside of its
teachings and again 20 to the public
for ideas they will find that almost
universally the public will prefer, and
in many instances demand, that the
physician use a medicine or nothing,
TO cure his cancer-and this is correct.

The Importance of this subject is
well recognized by the public and the
profession, especially when statistics
show that out of every death of per-
sons over 50 years of age, one in eight
is due to cancer.
We make the. sweeping statement
that the old plaster treatment or prin-
ciples of medicine caustics when skill
fully and judiciously used would cure,
at least, $50 of all people afflicted
with external cancer, provided the pa
tient falls into proper hands at an
early date.

the public and those afflicted with can

reports on the Pine Ridge and Rose
bud opening bills have been approved
in both house and senate and went to

Senator Gamble got the reports ac-

Burke guided them safely through the

acres of land in the southern part of
the state. Registration points will be
selected by the department and the
applicants will have to journey to one

cations. AS chairman of the Indian
committee Burke has succeeded in
passing a large number Of big bills
since December |. Besides these two
important measures he has pushed
through the omnibus bill, the appro-
prlations bill and the Cheyenne river
bill. All these measures have been

TO the one county of Todd, and it will
not be long until the Indian reserva-
ton, as a part Of the state, will be

be noticed. The opening of Mellette
county will no doubt stimulate the
extension OF the Northwestern road

This is the idea of Glenn II. Curtiss, aviator,

launched, and other Dreadnaughts will be useless
