old People Need
A Bowel Sfi171uLQnf
TT.e Ideal One Is a Mild Laxative
Tonic That VIII Keep fhe BorceIs
Gently Active.

Healthy old age Is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as 6 advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise, but this latter is irkSome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that a state of constipation should
always be avoided, as it is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to take a mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER
tainty it is suggested that cathartics,
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to be a shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and SO train them to act natu-
rally again, when medicines of all
KINGS can usually be dispensed with.
This is the opinion Of many people Of
different ages, among them Mrs. Mary
A. p. Davidson Of University Mound
Home, San Francisco, Cal. She is rs
and because of her sedentary habits

Moving Grain to Market.

Bancroft.-A a shortage which for
a time existed here and threatened
a serious interference with grain ship
ments, has finally been broken, >ud
grain is moving to market in large
quantities from Bancroft. The small
grain crop was al unusually large one
in this territory. Thus far a single
local elevator has handled more than
100000 bushels Of this seasons crop,
and it is estimated that not one-ha1
of the crop OF the territory has yet
been marketed.

Blows of His Own Head.

Custer.-When neighbors went to
the Jack Smith cabin near here they
found the dead body of William II.
Peterson, an old timer, with a bullet
wound in his head and an empty shot
gun beside him. Investigation showed
that Peterson had taken his life by
contriving to blow his head nearly of.
He came here In 1876 and was the
first, man in the Black Hills to erect a
sawmill. Later he went into mining
as a business. He leaves a brother at
Grand Junction. Colo, and a niece at
Alexandria, Neb.

three inches Of earth must be repeat
edly worked with a disk harrow, or
some such implement, every other
day for a week or two to kill the weeds
as they sprout, then if the top is
well mixed with a good commercial
fertilizer the grass seed may be sown
and you have a lawn that will last as
long as you want it, a lawn that will
be green when others are parched

to the value Of the property.
This is a secret that not many
h~ouseholders understand. 1t is not
the house itself that makes & home de-
sirable. / have seen cheap little
houses made so attractive that
strangers passing would stop to ad-
mire.
A young man can build a house like
this for $4,000; and the money that
he would naturally pay out for rent
will pay for it in a few years time. He
can grow fruit trees and have fruit
enough for home use and some to sell
without going to much expense or
spending a great deal of time in the
garden. An hour or two at night for
a few weeks early in the season will
accomplish a good deal If the work is
intelligently laid out. In building a
house like this don't forget the outside
embellishments. The lawn and the
garden will be the making of the prop
erty, at the same time you will be set
ting a good example that is almost
sure to benefit the neighborhood.
Another very important item is the
painting. A little house sometimes
is conspicuous just because it is small
and more attention is paid to it than
other houses in the n~eighborhood, es-
pecially'if it is nicely painted and neat
ly kept. Always choose quiet colors
for a small house; never attempt to
make it snowy. A drab with white
trimmings always looks well. You may
deviate from this without serious in
jury possibly, but you cannot improve
on a light drab with white trimmings
for a small house, especially If 1t is

Left His Train Behind.

Pierre.-An engineer on the Milwau-
kee road out of Faith a few days ago,
on reaching Red Elm, was surprised
to find that he had no train following
his engine and started back to find the
lost cars and discovered them stand
ing at Dupree station, with the train
crew and passengers saying additional
things of the regulation in regard to
the n of running trains on that
branch. Some switching was to be
done at Dupree. The engine was un-
coupled and given the signal to go
ahead, which was taken for the sig
nal to pull out of the station.

spring he pastured % head of brood

and pastured them until a short time

property that suits him so well or that
he can rem at a cheaper rate in pro-
portion to the advantages he now
has. He has paid enough rent to buy
the house, to pay all street improve
ments, city taxes, insurance and re-
pairs. He tells me he was offered
the property years ago for $4,000,
which he thought was too much
money. The lot itself is worth more
than that today.
This is n instance in a great many
similar ones hat have come to my
notice. 1t is not always that a neigh
borhood improves so rapidly and sub
s~tantially, but generally speaking,
all property in American towns ad-
yances in value.
There is another very great advan-
tage in owning a home, and that Is
the comfortable feeling you have OF
being a landed proprietor and the
fact that you are not obliged to have
your rent money ready promptly
when the month comes round. You
can plant a tree or a shrub or some
flower bulbs without the permission of
the landlord, you can make altera-
lions in the house when it suits your
convenience, and If the house or neigh
borhood Is not to your liking, you can
rem 1t and borrow the money to build
another. and the rent from the old one
will help pay for the new.
A little house like the one illus
trated here may be made attractive
by making a nice lawn and plant
ing a few trees and flowers. The
lawn is most essential and at the same
time the most difficult undertaking
on the average town lot. The ground
often is not very good, it is mixed
with cellar earth and rubbish that is
not well calculated for a good seed
bed for grass. 1t is easy to put the
ground in proper shape, however. if
the job is started from the bottom.
The ground must be plowed deep. and
thoroughly worked to get the objec-
tionable grass roots out of 1t. The
condition of the soil will determine
whether t o seed the first yea or the
second year. II there Is no humus in
the soil it will pay to cover 1t thick
with coarse manure and pillow it under.

the moisture problem. but II you have

Yankton Youth Badly Hurt.

Yankton.-Curtis, a 9-year-old boy,
was run over by an automobile and
received a broken leg, a two-inch cash
in the back of the head and a bad
bruise on the forhead. He was riding
just at dusk on the back of a loaded
wagon and swung off the wagon just
as the auto turned to pass around the
load. 1t was misting rain, and the
driver OF the car, Peter Hasker, a
Yankton county farmer, did not see
the boy in time to avoid the accident.

OF paying rent they are very likely to

We often hear the remark that 1t

more foolish or misleading state
ment. The man who lives in a rented
house seldom gets ahead financially.
This holds good whether he is work
ing on salary or is conducting a bust
ness on his own account. 1t would be
difficult to say why, but it probably
is because in the majority of cases a
renter fails to give attention to the
advancing value of real estate.

met with selling by some of the big
houses and prices eased off quickly to 31as

Continuance of good weather and addi-

offset the feeling of uncertainty that had
hitherto been felt in regard to the Bal

were expected and an additional bear fac
tor was the report Of crop expert that
in only ten Of the 200 summaries he had
received was there any claim OF winter
killing in domestic wheat.
Liberal country offerings and good
weather caused corn to ease of after a
steady opening. May started shade

Oats opened weak, with May 1s lower
at 34A, and under liberal selling declined
