II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. II lies in health.
In the majority Of cases the basis of
health and the cause Of sickness, can
be traced TO the action OF the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. SO many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever thu particular
cause may be 1t is important that the
condition should : corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands OF women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
1041 West Monroe ST., Chicago, testi-
fles that she is cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of a doc

to the requirements of elderly people,

infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca

Capt. Ayres has the record of being

Hairpins and Other Pins.

and pearls. There were, too, the larg-
er sort of pins so ~conspicuously and
frequently mentioned in the Bible. The
instrument driven by Jael through the
temple Of Sisera was probably a tent
pin, while Delilah fastened the web
of Samson's hair with a pin or batten.
In the middle ages pins were a great
fashion-indeed, a great necessity
in France, and we have it on record
that in 1347 10000 pins were removed
from the royal wardrobe for n of
the French p~rincesses. The onven
fence was probably a little later In
reaching England, but in 1910 we hear
of Queen Catherine (Howard) import
ing pins from France. In 1860 the
trade underwent considerable change,
brass superseding iron, while at the
same time the price was lowered.

A BOY INTERPRETER
A Young Massachusetts, Swede In Can.
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago., a blond-haired
young Swede, a boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied a party of his
fellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter
prefer. The party he accompanied To-
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, 10Y n
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Inconsistencies took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony Of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official Of the
Department of the Interior. he says;
when ! was up in Canada, Calgary
was a small town and SO was Edmon-
ton, but I understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, re has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line OF
railway made a somewhat t%ortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to it's mountain pass, there are three
lines of railway dividing the trade Of
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.

was then SO an acre is worth the $50
or s35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more. But he will find that
he can secure a homestead Just as
good as any that were taken In his
day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from a line of rail-
way, yet with a certainty of railway
in the near future, and he will find too
that he can still get land at SIS to SIS
an acre that will in a year or two be
worth $50 or s35 an acre. Mr.. Nose,

Year Sentence.

Sioux Falls.-Appearing before
Elliott, of the United States court, and
pleading guilty to the charge of hav-
ing robbed the postoffce at Yale. S.
D., last summer, Thomas McAleer,
alias "Watertown Gunny," was SEN
fenced TO a term of three years and
n month in the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth, Kan.
McAleer is one of the most slippery
criminals with whom peace officers
in South Dakota ever had to deal.
While confined in the Minnehaha coun-
ty Jail awaiting the disposal of his
case in the federal court he made his
escape and was at liberty several
months before his recapture was eff
fected in the northern part of the
state. In paying the reward and 9TH
er expenses in connection with his re-
capture the sheriff had to expend an
aggregate of about $500. McAleer is
the only man who ever escaped from
the Minnehaha county jail during the
term of office Of Sheriff Kelley.

Mitchell.-A petition, signed by rep

in Mitchell, recently presented to the
council asking for steps to be taken
to remove all the billboards from the
residence and business sections of the
city, received a sad blow when City
Attorney Lauritz Miller submitted a
written opinion to the council to the
effect that while the city has the pow
er to regulate billboards in SO far as
their morality or suggestiveness is
concerned, it has not the power to
have them removed. The petition was
filed away without action.
