of the residents of the region who
noting that he was a stranger, be-
lieved him to be insane. A hurryup
call was sent to the sheriff, who was
told that a crazy man was running
amuck through the region.
The sheriff hurried to the scene,
took the old nan into custody and
then explanations followed which re-
yealed the true state of affairs. The
relatives and friends of the old man
were informed and went after him in
an automobile, taking him to their
homes.
Instead of leaving the train at
Ward, near where his relatives and
friends reside, he rode to Toronto.
He had visited his relatives near
Ward before and mistaking Toronto
for Ward he started out to walk to
their homes, which he believed but a
short distance away. He soon be-
came lost and when the storm came
up was compelled to take refuge in a
grove, where he remained during the
entire night. When discovered he
was in a distressing condition as the
result of his long exposure.

BODY EXHUMED
Remains of Kirk Phillips Brought
Back TO Deadwood.

Deadwood. June lit has been
learned that the remains of the late
Kirk G.. Phillips, former mayor of
this city and former state treasurer,
who died here last August, have been
returned to this city and quietly
given a last resting place in Mt. Mo-
riah cemetery. Three weeks ago the
widow of Mr.. Phillips, who was wide
ly known over the state, complying
with his own request, took the re-
mains from their temporary resting
place in Mt. Moriah and went with
them to Mr.. Phillips former home in
Salisbury, Md. But, unable to be
reconciled to having them so far
away from her, she changed her mind
while in Maryland and brought them
back to Deadwood, where they were
finally inferred.

WARNING To FARMERS
PROTECTIVE SERUM ONLY HOG
CHOLERA CURE APPROVED
BY AUTHORITIES.

Washington, June Evidence of
what appear to be a well organized
campaign to delude farmers through
out the country into buying an al
legged cure of hog cholera, under the
impression that this has been investi-
gated and approved by the United
States government, has reached the
department of agriculture. Articles
praising this medicine, Benetol by
name, are being sent out widespread
to newspapers. These articles are so
worded that it appears as if the de-
lpartment of agriculture had received
reports from the state of Minnesota
Showing that the medicine had proved
most beneficial. AS a matter of fact
the one report received by the de-
partment was an unofficial and un-
solicited statement sent presumably
from the promoters themselves. The
| department attaches no Importance
whatsoever to this statement. 1t has
no reason to believe in the efficiency
of any proprietary cure for hog chol-
era and does not recommend any.
Under certain conditions it urges
farmers to protect their stock with
anti-hog cholera serum, but that is
all.
In connection with this attempt it
may be said hat the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
| was advertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid
and cancer germs, according to an
article published in the Journal of
the American Medical association. At
that time it was asserted that the
army was iterested in it. As a mat
ter of fact the army was no more in
lterested then than the department of
agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the
attempt to create this false impress
sion is persistent and widespread, all
hog owners are warned to communi-
lcate with the United States authori-
ties before accepting as true any
statement that the government rec
ommends any treatment other than
the serum already mentioned.

Cooling of the Earth.

The application Of Stefan's law to
the calculation Of the mean tempera-
ture of the earth, at given latitude,
shows that at the latitude Of so de-
grees, the temperature was in the
neighborhood Of 80 degrees Cent,
when the suns radius was about one
and a half times it's present dimen-
sions, lie, about two million years ago.
Thus it would appear that life COM

of the poles. The same reasoning
leads us to the conclusion that In
less than two million years, when the

TIME TO THINK OF BEAUTY
Department Of Agriculture Gives Good
Advice on a Most Important
Subject.

The appropriate use Of trees, shrubs,
vines, and herbaceous plants in the
adornment of city. village, suburban.
or country home grounds gives
charm and beauty which are interest
ing and pleasing to the passer.by as
well as to the occupant Of the home,
says the U. 8. department Of agricul-
ture. Plants are means Of express
Ing restfulness and beauty. Their
gradually changing aspect with the
succession OF the seasons heightens
their pleasing effect and relieves mo-
notony. The changes which occur in
the life Of vegetation during the year
have caused man to speak OF the
stages OF human existence as the
spring summer" and autumn" OF
life. The leaf, the branch. and the
flower, as we'll as the general form OF
the plant. manifest grace and beauty
which art endeavors to copy. While
art cannot take the place OF nature, 1t
nevertheless plays an important part
in teaching US to see and appreciate
the beauties of nature.
Man should first provide for his ne
cessities, then for comforts, and final
ly for pleasures. In a new country such
as ours, the expenditure Of time and
means for the adornment Of grounds
has naturally received too little atten.
ton. The people have been necessar-
lily concerned with acquiring lands
and buildings. But a stage OF devel-
opment has now been reached when
Americans should give more attention
to the establishment OF their home
grounds.

Rest and Digestion.

From his studies on the influence OF
rest, exercise and sleep upon gastric
digestion a physician concludes that:
In persons with normal digestive pow
ers it makes but little difference
whether the individuals rest, exercise
or sleep after meals; though after vio'
lent exercise or sleep the gastric d.
gestion is very slightly impaired.
In patients suffering from supera'
cidity and subacidity it is best to order
rest after meals; after violent exercise
or during sleep the digestion Is Inn
paired in these cases. In patients sur'
fering with motor disturbances OF the
stomach 1t Is best to prescribe moder'
ate exercise after meals, for rest, VI
olent exercise or sleep dlsturbs the di-
gestion under these conditions.

Street Cleanliness.

Perhaps the most striking difference
noticed by the American tourist
abroad between American and Euro
pean cities is the cleanness Of the
streets Of the latter, particularly In
such places as Berlin and Dresden.
Clean streets, as the term Is under
stood abroad, are unknown In the cit
les OF the United States. The dirti-
ness OF our streets both In summer
and winter, with their clouds Of dust
charged with disease germs and filth
OF all kinds, makes walking almost
intolerable and imposes on storekeep-
ers and housekeepers a burden Of
cleaning that is far more expensive
In the aggregate than would be the
proper and systematic cleaning Of the
streets.
Only occasionally when the streets
are locally flushed can the conditions
of our streets be compared with those
abroad, where street cleanliness Is
one of the first principles OF city adj
ministration.

IDEAS BRING WEALTH
Simple Things Out of Which For
tunes Have Been Made.
In This Day of Energy and Hustle No
Man Can Afford to Be Content
With His Present Volume of
Business.

Original merchandising ideas, prop
erly hitched up to the general sales
scheme, bring results.
The manager Of a ten-cent store IN
the South saw that the majority oil
his customers We're women. Women
are good buyers, but he knew that the
stores business could be increased II
the men could be induced to come In
and look around He was convinced
too, that there was general bellel
that a ten-cent store is essentially
womans store The manager made it
his prime object to overcome this no.
ton.
He advertised men only" week OF
sales and employed statesmen to take
the place of the salesgirls, who were
given a weeks vacation on pay. The
windows were filed with articles to at
tract the attention Of men. The prices
were sufficiently low to induce pur-
chasers to come inside the store. one
week served to popularize the store
with the men. There were hundreds
of new customers who remained even
after the old routine was adopted.
A shoe dealer in small Illinois city
believes that the confidence of the buy
ing public is the best possible asset for
a retail business. He has adopted
successful plan to gain this confidence.
Twice yearly he publishes in the ad'
vertising columns OF the city's news
papers what he calls his confidential
report. He cites In this statement the
total amount of sales for the period
covered. the cost Of the goods sold, the
carrying expense, the selling cost, the
loss through bad accounts, etc. In
short, the statement Is a thorough
analysis Of the business from an inside
point Of view. The statements prove
surprising to the average reader be-
cause Of the low percentage OF net
profit the dealer makes. The state
ments, coupled with a.general frank
ness Of treatment from the dealers
employees, wins many customers for
the store-a point the merchant makes
plain in his confidential statements.
A Detroit restaurant keeper came to
know that many OF his regular custom
ers were formerly country boys. In
order to take them back to their boy
hood days he prepared q country

canned oysters, sardines, cheese and
