LOCAL HUNTERS

LNasiNG OF HlrNYtyC PRIV
HGGES By EASTERN
CAPITALISTS.

Webster, S. D.: The rental by.
Percy Rockefeller n other eastern
capitalists of a large tract OF the best
hunting grounds in Day county, and
announcement by the wner of the
land that resident hunters will not
be allowed to hunt on the land has
aroused considerable resentment not
only in Day county but in adjoining
counties whose hunters have been
wont to hunt in the rich game pre-
serves OF this county. Several possible
remedies to prevent Il repetition OF
the occurrence in the future have
been suggested, one by Representa-
tive a. G. Roberts of .Pierpont, who
says:
II am not a hunter, but | do thinl,
that if our resident men desire to
hunt the game raised on our lakes
and slouehs and fed on our grain,
they should be allowed the privilege.
AS a remedy, | would suggest an
amendment to our game laws provid-
ing that before Il man can get a H.
to hunt he must show that lie is
a resident of our state. That would
eliminate the nonresident hunters,
and If that is too drastic, let them
have a license good for one week and
not renewable. A little work on the
part of our hunters would get such
an amendment through the legisla-
ture, but OF course it will be tive
years before it could become opera
tive. ! also understand a party oil
hunters have leased some of the best
grounds i'll Marshall county, as vel
as in Day. 1t looks as if our resid.
ent hunters will be ordered out un
less they set busy and head Off the
eastern fellows who have all kinds
of money.

all day. That is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynx.
II you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. If you were to look into
your own throat you would find just
back of the soft palate a red, lumpy,
granular appearance of the back part
of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call il.
Perhaps he would call 1t, folicular
pharyngitis. It causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated In an
audience. Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you.
Worse in the morning.
A-hem! A-heml A-hemi That Is
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes in the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment.
Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try II. for a week.
You will be convinced. OF course,
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
in a week. That is too much to ex-
pect Of any remedy. But 1t will bene-
fit you so much you will be con-
vinced. Yes, it will. 1t has done
this many times.
Folicular pharyngitis. Big words.
Almost as bad as the disease. But IL
you take Peruna for one month reg
ularly, you may forget that you ever
had such a disease. Then you Will

words too.

THE Ol-DEN MlSTLETOE RITE.
Origin OF Present Use of the Classic
Plant.

Plant.
The druidS at Yuletide used to cut
the mistletOe to place upon their affairs
with elaborate ceremonies. Their name
for it was all heal or all healing.
There was large procession, headed
by the lruidical priests, with bards
singing canticles and hymns; then a
herald preceded three druids, fur
nished with implements for severing
the sacred plant, then the prince or
chief of the druids, accompanied by
all his followers.
The chief mounted the oak and with
a golden knife detached the mistletoe
and presented it to the priest, who re-
ceiyed and bore away the branches
with great reverence. Two white bulls
were sacrificed during the rite.
On the first day of the new year the
branches after resting on the affairs in
the interval were distributed among
the people as sacred and holy plant,
