HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good flesh
would burn and itch dreadfully. When
my hands first started to get sore,
there were small blisters like water
blisters which formed. They itched
dreadfully, it just seemed as though
l could tear the skin all off. l would
scratch them and the skin would peel
off, and the flesh would be all red and
crack open and bleed. 1t worried me
very much, as / had never had any
thing the matter with my skin. | was
so afraid | would have to give up my
employment.
MY doctor said he didn't think IL
would amount to anything. But 1t
kept getting worse. One day saw
piece in one of the papers about a
lady who had had the same trouble
with her hands. She had used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and was cured. I
decided to try them, and my hands
were all healed before l used one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of
Cuticura Ointment. l am truly thank
full for the good results from the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment, for thanks
to them l was cured, and did not have
to lose day from work l have had
no return of the skin trouble"

Exactly" interposed Liffey. "and
therefore | propose that we make a
nonpartisan ticket to run against him:
that we divide the offices between the
ms and outs; reservin' to ourselves
the most important and vital ones, of
course, but givin' the outs enough to
make EN- feel good, let 'em git their
fingers into the public pie for a few
pickin's, and so on. We can easily
do that without losin' too much. and
we'll present a united front against
him."
"A united front of all the grafters,
thieves, blackguards. financiers, and
politicians in New York." sneered
Rutherford.
You don't like the scheme, Mr..
Rutherford roared Liffey angrily.
Vastly. l think it's one of the best
that could be proposed"
"As for myself" said Haldane, II
also think it has elements of attrac-
t1veness, although l must protest
against being placed in the category
you have enumerated, Mr.. Ruther-
ford"
"Oh, protest all you like" said the
district attorney easily. 1.-THE sug-
gestion is good one, Liffey. It's not
hard to see why you're in your pres
cnt position. You have a level head.

suggest: Ell, gentlemen"

sents had been received. 1T only re-
mains then to make up the slate.
Shall we do 1t now or later?"
I'VE might as we'll do our part of it

morrow and put 1t up to him. He can
name his conti buttons to the list, and
then We'll announce it."

DyeInq Hint.

II you are going to dye any mate
rial at home. dissolve pinch of bi-
carbonate OF soda In the water in
which you mix the dye.
This will prevent the color from
crocking and will insure its covering
the material evenly.
II you cannot buy the shade you
wish. II can easily be mixed. For in
stance. mix blue with pink to make
violet. little yellow with green to
make moss color. black with ecru for

Be sure to rinse the material very
well with cold water before hanging to
dry after dyeing. Press while damp.

Fall Handbaos.

The plain. sturdy leather shopping
bag is entirely out Of It now. so far
as fashion is concerned. Most hand
bags are frivolous affairs that look
as though meant for ornament and
not for use, but there is really a good
deal OF room inside these graceful
bags. The long cord handles which
may be hung from the shoulder are
the favorite sort. but for shopping
and knockabout use shorter leather
handles seem more appropriate.

Haldane paused.
He said he had already pledged
his support to Gormly that afternoon
at the intercession of-er-my daugh-
ter and some other friends"

Are you goin' to stand for that? ?"
Il hardly see how can prevent it,"

LIFE SAVED BY
FRIENDS ADVICE

appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it left me with severe case
of kidney trouble. l was doctored by sew
eral physicians and getting no relief took
the advice of friend and procured bot
tie of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle / felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three moro dol

Board of Agriculture Reports

Pierre-The state board of agri-
culture has filed a report with the
governor showing it's work for the
past year. 1t recites the success which
has attended the holding of the fairs
at Huron for the past four years, and
goes into details as to what has been
done, and the shape in which the state
property is in at the present time.
They are carrying fire insurance to the
amount of $45, 900 on the buildings,
and protiting by the trouble of a year
ago, are carrying cyclone insurance
to the amount of $50, 500. They show
receipts for the 1910 fair to have been
39,6S2.95, and expenses to balance less
s200.12 carried in the fund. The value
of the grounds and buildings is shown
to be s143,114.
The fair has shown q net profit Of
$17,346 for the years of 1907-S-9-10,
which sum has been used in the set
Element Of old debts against the fair,
and in the placing of required i'm
provements upon the grounds. The
press of the state Is praised for the
help which has always been extended
toward the building up of a good state
fair for South Dakota, and the pro-
visions made by the last legislative
session have put the association In
shape to further increase their build
ings and grounds and put the asso-
citation on a better basis for handling
exhibits.

biscrit msde from common alfalfa
from the big alfalfa show at the West
ern Products exhibition at Omaha the
last of January and myself and fam
lily tried TO eat it and we are still
at the job. l very much prefer to eat
the mutton, beef and poultry made
from alfalfa to eating the alfalfa it
self. Man will probably never develop
a bovine stomach"
The past season we raised alfalfa
plants by sowing seed in rows with a
garden drill and ~eultivating with a
wheel hoe, much the same as for car
rots and beets. The plants made a
strong growth and were dug up late In
the fall and are now heeled in out
doors with over the earth.
They will be desirable for transplant
ing three to four feet apart each way
in good garden soil and should be
given thorough cultivation. This will
encourage the free production of seed.
Transpianting alfalfa plants is moth
ing new as it has long been practiced
in parts of India and South America.
In dry regions alfalfa seed is now
often raised in cultivated rows. Grow
ing alfalfa for seed and hay are two
different propositions.
1t must be remembered that a very
large number of different strains of
a~lfalfas were found growing wild In
Siberia and | tried to secure them
from regions that correspond to the
various parts of the prairie northwest.
Some of these alfalfas, | think, will
be better adapted to the extreme north
than to the south. The seed gathered
on my last trips to Siberia in 1906 and
1908 was scattered in a great many
places from our Mexican boundary
north into Alaska. / had nothing to
do with this distribution as 1t was
done from Washington. However, |
have worked patiently along with a
small quantity Of each lot and am
ready to send out a few Of the best OF
these for trial elsewhere. No seeds
can be spared, but plants only. Some
Of the best of these alfalfas have been
started from a ~teaspoonful Of seed, so
that it has been slow work. The small
state appropriation will stimulate the
work as there are no federal funds
available for this purpose.

B0CCLE UP LAWS
LAWMAKERS ARE BLAMED FOR
BUNGLlNG SEVERAL I'M
PORTANT BILLS
TOO MUCH RUSH FINISH
Large Part of Lawmaking Done the
Last Two Days of the Session
and Oversight and Err
o Crept In

Pierre-As interested parties begin
to dig n the laws enacted at the
last session, they are finding more of
the results of pushing overworked
clerk forces at the closing hours of
the session to get out laws which
could just as well have been enacted
earlier in the session. But it is a
natural result Of attempting to finish
up the work of half the session in two
days time.
One of the laws attempted was to
increase the salary of Superintendent
Mead of the insane asylum from 81, 500
TO $500. The house passed the bill
at $4,000 and the senate increased it
to the higher figure. This resulted in
a conference committee which accept
ed the figure fixed by the senate, and
h report of the conferees was accept
ed by both house. But the law filed in
the office OF the secretary OF state
only places the salary at $4,000.
A bill was introduced to provide for
the deficiency in transporting prison
ers to the penitentiary, the amount
asked being just what was shown TO
be due by vouchers filed with the state
auditor, and at the same time SO, 900
was asked to meet such bills for the
future.
While that vas the bill OF which
the duplicate" was sent to the print
er, the one actually introduced as the
original only asked for 81, 900 addi-
tional and is 81 900 short on the de-
ficiencies, and some sheriff In the state
who gets in late will have to wait two
years more for his deficiency" and
there will be another deficiency to
care for in the same item when the
next session meets.
In providing for the salaries and
expenses Of the judges Of the newly
created eleventh and twelfth circuits
up to the first Of July, an itemized
statement of the needs was made, but
the total appropriated does Rot equal
the itemized statement, and these
judges will be short of the amount
which it was expected they would
have when the bill wos introduced.
In another case there was a differ
ence on the emergency" clause on a
bill between the two houses. The
conference committee reported that 1t
should be placed on the bill and both
houses accepted the report and both
law filed in the Office Of the secre-
tary does not show any such append
age.
These are a few OF the troubles out
side Of sending a bill to the governor
which never passed the senate, but
they are likely only starters as to
what will develop later.

Yankton's Homecoming

Notwithstanding week." be-

ton of the golden anniversary OF
Yankton since the monster meeting at
the court house. All parts Of the coun-
ty were represented, the earliest set
tiers to sign the roll being Major
Joseph Hansen, who came here in
1858. 1t is planned to have a big pic
mic one day during the week, and the
college campus has been secured. Ex-
governor Jayne of Springfield, H., the
first territorial governor, appointed by
President Lincoln, whose family phys
ician he was, will be invited to at
tend. He is the only territorial ex-
governor now alive. A band OF Sioux
warriors will also grace the occasion,
just to remind the newcomers of what
they missed by not coming earlier.
