An Idle Dollar

Is opportunity going to waste. Every
dollar deposited in Home bank gives
some one in the community an oppor-
tunity to enlarge his business or to
make needed improymnts in his sur
roundings. Bank Credit and the
Check Account plan makes that
dollar do the work Of sevent to ten
dollars. That is VIII it is the other
wise idle money deposited in banks
which furnishes very large share of
tht working capital of this country.
II you feel an interest in advancing
your financial welfare, in getting
ahead in the world, in helping to build
up our town and community we shall

For Nerves.

A case of nerves is like a bad
habit, easily acquired and hard to
get rid of. Nervousness affects the
digestion, dulls the eyes, giving a
strained look to the muscles of the
face, and, if allowed its course, will
even make the hair thin. So the wo-
man who wants to be beautiful must
keep an eye on the state of her
nerves
The best cure for nervousness is
rest. Resting is an art known to few
women.
The only way woman may re-
pose and relax the body and nerves
Is by actual will power.
Carrots are prescribed by physi-
clans and beauty doctors alike as a
cure for nervous Indigestion. You are
told to eat them three times day
either cooked or raw.
Young onions or scullions are ex-
cellent eaten with plenty of salt; also
lettuce with salt and plenty of olive
oil. but no vinegar and red pepper.
Sleeplessness is the greatest men
ace that tired or overweight nerves
have for beauty and health.
Sleep may be induced by warm
milk; slipped slowly, or. if this is in
effective, by long draughts of cool
water and cold bandage around the
brow.

Canada and Alaska.
From the Vancouver News-Advertiser


Every word that has been written to
emphasize the Importance of Hawaii
for the protection of the Pacific coast
of the United States must be repeated
with double emphasis in regard to the
Aleutian islands and the south coast
of Alaska. The Yokohama Seattle
line is 1887 miles shorter by way Of
Alaska than by way Of Honolulu. Shift
the east end to San Francisco, and the
Alaska route is still 1,015 miles short
er than the Honolulu route. In other
words, fleet trying to establish q
base of operations for attacking the
United States would never dream OF
going 1000 or 100 miles out of its
way to Hawaii, when an ideal base,
totally undefended. may be found near
the Boring river coal field, only 1,150
miles from Seattle.
This is matter which Canada cam

United States Is by far the pleasantest.
safest neighbor we could possibly wish.
in possession of Alaska, every Cana
dian feels his flesh creep, his hair
stand on end. We simply could not
tolerate 1t, and should be compelled by
the most obvious requirements of our
own safety to join our forces to those
of the United States In an attempt to
drive out the invaders.
The moment we put this conclusion
in plain words, we perceive with dis
may that our help would avail very
little against an enemy able to throw
his force at will on any point of the
coast, which In the absence of railways
we could only reach with troops in
ferior in numbers and equipment.
The situation would be wholly differ

Grand Trunk to Dawson and thence to
the Alaska boundary, with branch to
every port, thus establishing contin-
uous railway connections between the
United States and Alaska.

Abuses in tn. Department Of Justice.

From the American Review of Reviews.
This McNab- McReynolds row is one OF

of the sheer sensationalsm of a case In

WARRANT LIST SHOWS
GROWING EXPENSE OF
STATE GOVERNMENT
Expenditures for Fiscal Year Of
1913 Are $614,6O2.11 Over
Year Of 1912.

Pierre. 8. D., Aug. 13.-Like most Of
the states In the middle west. as we'll
as in other sections, the expenses Of
government In South Dakota seem to
be continually creeping upwards. In
order to forestall any political con-
troversies on this subject, 1t should be
explained that those actively connect
ed with the state government have
little responsibility for the increase, as
practically all of II is directly trace
able to legislative action.
For the year ending June 80, 1913.
the state auditor finds an increase OF
$614 ,602.11 in warrants issued over the
year ending June 30, 1912. fairer
comparison, perhaps. would be with
the 1911 fiscal year. which, like 1913.
was legislative year and, therefore,
the subject of some extraordinary ex-
penses. The fiscal year ending June
80, 1913, still shows an increase over
the year ending June 80, 1911, OF S361,-
1887.
At the opening CT the last legislative
session. Governor Byrne made consid-
cradle personal effort to secure re-
duction In the number of state bu-
reaus but met with very limited sue
cess, as other influences exerted on
the Legislators sustained most of the
old jobs and created a f.w new ones.
The comparative expense in the diff
ferent funds for the years 1911, 1912
and 1913 are as follows:
