water is now also conducted to
the wash basn in the various
parts of the building, where SAN
itary paper towels have also
been placed. Other improve
ments noted are new shelves
on the ground floor for school
supplies, which saves a climb Of
two flights of stairs. and the
conversion of the lunch room in
to a recitation room, for which
three dozen new chairs have been
secured.
The board of educatio is COM
posed of the following substan=
tial business men, who are un-
firing IN their efforts to make
the Sisseton school the best in
the country: Henry S. Morris,
president; J. A. Robertson, vice
president; O. P. Rask, M. L.
Stavig and W. j. Thomas, with
A. A. Peterson as clerk
and j. M. Swanberg treasurer.
These gentlemen have an in
debtedness on the district of
$29, 253 18 to look after, besides
the annual cost of $4,000 for
maintaining the schools Last
year the Indebtedness was re-
duced about $500, and it is hoped
to do still better in ther future.
At the present rate of increase it
will soon become necessary for
more rooms. Other departments
needed are manual training,
sewing and domestic science.
These will come in time.
This story would not be COM
plete without mentioning S. l..
Babcock, the courteous janitor,
who explained about the heating
apparatus in his department.
Besides being a capable custodian
of the building. Mr.. Babcock
has a faculty of getting along
nicely with the children, which
means a great deal.

coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
ious, nervous asd upset. bothered
with a sick, gassy, disordered stom-

Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
This is important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach,
remove the sour, undigested and fer
mentfng food and foul gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the intes-

from any drug store will keep your

NEW DECISION Of
GEORGIA GAME LAW
COURT APPEALS HANDS DOWN
INTERESTING RULING OF IN
TEREST TO Hunters.

Atlanta, Nov. 29.-Lee Blassingame
was tried in the city court of Madison
fol chasing rabbits with hounds on
Ine land OF another without permits
sion OF hunting license. He set
uT the defense that animals not So
clhcally named in the game law
could be hunted without license or
permission.
tdt This position is upset by the
court OF appeals, which confirms his
conviction. 1t is held that one must
Conform to The letter and spirit of
the game law Under the act one can
hunt on his own land or in his mill
tia district without a license; hunt
ing on ones own land is permissible.
of course, but consent must be had
for hunting on any neighbor's land.
1t is also held that the mention
Of specific game is only incidental in
the act, the intent being to protect,
within reasonable limitations, all
game. Although Blassingame went
out with hounds, and no gun. he
chased the Dummies ON the property
Of another without permission, and
is, therefore. guilty of violating the
game law. This distinction is drawn
relative to rabbits. You cannot
originate the chase on the land Of
another without a license or permits
sion, but if the chase starts some
where else and leads to this neigh
boris land. then the law is not be-
ing viCIated.

chilled body and the color began to creep
back into his cheeks.
That was a fool thing to do" he said.
But thought the ice was thick enough
to hold any one. Gee, if you hadn't been
there Td-Td been frozen by this time! I
could keep afoat all right, but the water
was awful"
Skate faster" said Bert, "and don't
talk"
By the time the starting line was in
sight Ben was making good time, and to
the spectators it looked as though they
were to see a wonderfully close finish,
for the two boys were side by side.
There had been some uneasiness because
of the delay and the watchers breathed
sighs of relief when the two skaters
came into sight again. Caps waved and
voices urged them on
Come on, Ben! Hit II up. You aren't
half skating"
Beat him, Bert! Beat him! Skate!
Skate!'
Kid danced about and turned circles on
his skates, all the time yelling shrilly, and
Nan, her pink cheeks roster than ever
from excitement, clapped her hands and
rooted" for Bert. Down to the line came
the two skaters, skating fast, but evidently
quite tuckered out and showing a lot Of
effort. The spectators skated to meet
them, and then it was that Ben's wet
clothes were noted and questions fell fast.
Bert had no thought of the race. He
wanted to see Ben wrapped up warmly
and started on his way back to school.
And be wanted TO get there himself, for
he felt decidedly weak and i'll, and every
few moments a shiver went over him. And
so he never noticed when Ben slowed down
almost at the line, and never noticed that
he himself had skated across it and had
won the race until Lanny smote him on
the back, almost sending him on his face,
and shouted -
You won. Bert! He didn't cross! He
didn't finish
Bert paid no heed. He shouldered his
way to Mr. Crane, who vas stretching out
his hand in congratulation.
Ben went through the ice, sir" he said,
''and he ought to be taken home right
away. And l guess-I guess you'd better
take me, too
Whereupon Bert sank against Mr.. Crane
and tainted dead away.
