he had to use both arms to dress him
self.
BY breakfast time II was no better.
I've heard a Turkish bath is good
Tor a thing like this" said MacGee. Il

At M~cFIumperty & Cohen's Turkish
baths he was first laid On an ice-cold
tombstone and slapped by an expatri-
ated Turk until he promised himself
never to spank his little son again.
Then he was pushed forcibly into a
small room without doors or windows
to escape by and a 13-horsepOwer fire
hose was turned on him until the wa
ter gave out.
After hat he was strung up by the
heels and padded with a carpet
beaten to induce circulation.
When circulation had been induced
to the rate of q mile a minute, the en-
tire working force OF v Turks
seized him and played medicine ball
with him for 80 minutes.
The pain in his chest was gone for

S. D. MINING RESOURCES.
State School Of Mines Issues interest
ing Bulletin.

Rapid City.-The state school Of
mines has just issued a comprehen'
sive bulletin on the minerals of the
Black Hills by Prof. Victor Ziegler,
head of the department Of ~mineralogy
and Photography. AS is we'll known.
the Black Hills constitutes n of the
most remarkable areas OF the world
because it comprises within its linn
tied area not only a great variety OF
minerals. but also an abundance OF
rare species, some of which are not
known elsewhere. Heretofore knowl-
edge of the Black Hills minerals has
been confined to brief general state
ments or to technical scientific jour.
nails inaccessible to the greater part
of the people OF the state. Ever
these are confined chiefly TO II
ic and geological discussions, or to
some OF the rerer minerals and little
information has been o~btainable OF
the great majority Of species. The bull
letin mentioned is a summary Of the
mineralogy Of the Black Hills in 2
book of 230 pages and includes many
figures, plates, and charts and a map
of the Black Hills region. Effort has
been made to describe as far as pos
sible all the minerals known from
the Black Hills in such a way that
the information given may be Of serv-
ice to the n~on-technical reader wheth-
err or not he be interested in mining,
mineralogy or geology. The book will
be found of interest also to the scient-
ist and indeed is we'll worth the atten-
ton OF any one interested in the Black
Hills country. One hundred and
eighty-one minerals are described. The
Introductory pages, taken up with the
elementary features Of mineralOgy in
clude a complete table Of the elements
and a summary OF the chief physical
characters of minerals in general. The
book closes with a complete biblio-
graphy of Black Hills mineralogy and
directions for the use OF tables for
the determination OF Black Hills min
erals. The book is we'll written by a
man who is well acquainted with Black
Hills mineral conditions and should
serve in a very excellent way to indi-
cate the high character Of the work
that is being done by the state school
OF mines.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use Of i'm
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will veal a
stone away at last, so will the use Of
heavy. greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle Of cause and effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago l had a lot Of trou-
BILE from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. | got SO / was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medi-
cines seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly and as
a last resort, l tried It. / am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans SO that / can now eat anything I
desire. But I stick to Grape-Nuts."
