REASON WOMEN WEAR OUT
Through mistaken Idea Of DUTY She
Works on With Rare Periods
Of Relaxation.

Why do some women grow old
and others keep the secret of perpet-
ual youth? Here is one answer:
One reason why the average wom-
an wears out, grows plain before her
husband, is that, through mistaken
idea of duty, she lays out for herself
at the beginning of her married life
a scheme or plan of duty and en-
ployment for her time, every hour
filled with work, with rare and short
periods of relaxation.
This she follows rcligiously for
years, feeling that she has done her
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes merely machine,
a thing without life of itself or vo-
litlon. She settles into q rut and
goes round and round on The same
track everlestingly.
Can any woman keep brightness,
originality Of thought or speech, or
even mere prcitiness with such a
life? And without those things
how can she keep her husband and
growing children full Of loving adj
miration. which is tic strong chain
by which she can bind them to herr
How bright and jolly tic neighbours
wife seems when she calls. In nine
cases out Of ten it is because the
surroundings and talk of your home
are variety to her. and rouse her to
originality and brightness of speech.
Cultivate a broad attitude toward
the world and its people. Let your
interests be far-reaching, and there
will be renewed vigor when it comes
to solve the problem of the home.

MOTORCYCLES IN GERMANY.

In this years German army
maneuvcrs the sight will be witt
messed Of motor tricycles speeding
about the battlefield. Hitherto it has
been found that much time was lost
in rendering medical assistance to
the wounded. To prevent such de-
lay during the coming mancuvcrs
field surgeons will be mounted upon
specially constructed motor tricyclcs
made on the lines of those now used
by tradcsmcn, in which will be car
ricd all the necessary material for
first aid.
In tie past wounded man had
to be carried on strctcher to the
nearest lazarctte before help could
be rendered. In future should he
find it impossible to treat the case
on the spot, the surgeon can himself
convey the man to the lazarettc on
his motor tricycle.. The machine
will be built so that it can 60 over
heavy ground, and it will, owing to
its speed, save many hours Of weary
waiting to the wounded.

congressman.

Our readers will remember that
both the ADVOCATE and Tribune,
in the issues of two weeks ago,
answered. the alleged argument Of
the Mobridge News, of week be-
fore. regarding the land office situ-
alton. Up to that time nothing
had appeared in either paper here,
in any manner favoring or arguing
against the ACCESSIBILITY OF remov-
ing the land office to Mobridge.
We had simply gone along and
from time to time presented some
of the arguments in favor of Timber
Lake for the place, content to let
each town speak for itself. The
Mobridge News, however, Judging
from the article above referred to,
evidently was of the opinion that
they could give their tov,n the
greatest service by attempting to
belittle the claims of Timber Lake,
with the result that elected the
answers above referred to. The
reply of the Mo1,ridge News last
week, utterly fails to notice any of
the matters presented for their CON
sideratiOn in our answers. Ii has

SOUTH DAKOTA WILL PROBABLY
HAVE THIRD CONGRESSMAN.

The ratio of number of represent
tatives i'll congress to the popula-
ton of the several states, was fixed
i'll the year 1890, at one member
for every 10000 people. This
ratio has been steadily raised and
was fixed i'll 1000 at one member
for every Io4,182 or major fraction
thereof.
The membership of the house at
the present time is 3oI. 1t is ac-
knowledged by all that this number
is too large and unwieldy to do ef-
fective work. but there has never
yet been congress SO patriotic as
to legislate themselves out of Office
by reducing the membership. Ac-
cording to Washington dispatches
in the daily papers, there is some
talk OF the present congress putting
the ratio as high as one member
for every $500 people, which if
done would reduce the membership
somewhat. 1t is thought this
might be possible because many of
the republicans lost out in the re-
cent election and their places will
be take on the 4th of March by
democrats so that to vote for re-
apportionment that would reduce
the membership simply amounts
to legislating the other fellow out
of Office, which OF course wouldn'
hurt SO much.
1t is thought, however. that the
ratio will be fixed at about one
member for every 225 900 or ma
jor fraction thereof and if this is
done South Dakota, with her $780,
1888 people will have a major frac-
tion which will entitle us to third
congressman.

j0HNs0N's HOME FOR RENT
Opportunity for Admirer to Live In
House Where Famous Dictionary
Was Compiled.

DR.. Johnson's house in Cough
square is ''to let" and these is an
opportunity for an admirer to live
in the place where the dictionary or
most Of it was actually compiled.
The doctor resided at Cough
square from 1S46 to 1853, and we
know that the dictionary was begun
a year besore the first date and pub
lished in 1853. At the top of the
house, which is a large one, lie had
a room fitted up for his five or six
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye.
An interleavea copy Of Bailev's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
Of his work, and he collected his au-
fhorities by incessant reading, his
method being to score with black
lead pencil the words he selected.

struggles met with their reward. and

FOOD VALUE or BANANAS.
They Are Rot, Like Some Fruits,

Professors of dietetics tell us that the

flavor and nothing more, but a food

only gratiiies the palate, but supplies
material for combustion and the main
tenance OF animal heat, while it also
builds up the muscles and repairs the

The -four made from it in its dried
state is equal in nutritiye value to rice,
and how invigorating and sustainingrice
Is has been demonstrated in the recent
achievements of the Japanese. Dried
ard sprinkled with sugar, form in
which it has been recently introduced
in this country, the upstart banana Is,
weight for weight. as nutritious as the
venerable fig.
But 1t is in the fresh state that the
banana chiefly appeals to us. Its
creamy succulence and delicate odor are
inviting. and its pleasant sapor is a
prelude to good digestion. Dependent
as that saror is In ethereal body. which
the coal tar Investigators hav* not vet
