DOWDELL'S RETIREMENT
NOTIFIES PROGRESSIVE LEAD
ERS THAT HE LEAVES THE
FIELD TO LOUCKS.

Huron, Sept. 23.-In announcing
his withdrawal from the race for the
senate, Robert T.. Dowdell has issued
the following statement, addressed tc
G.. O. Van Meter, chairman, and
George Wright, campaign Of
the progressive party in South Da.
kota:
After due consideration | am con.
WINGED that the best interests of the
truly progressive citizens of the state
regardless of past party affiliations
will be promoted by concentrating
the progressive vote on one candidate
for the United States senate, rather
than dividing it between two. There.
fore, | have decided not to file my
petition, thus leaving the field clear
for H. III. Loucks, an independent
candidate. whose past battles should
be a safe guarantee as to his prog.
r~essiveness.
Il am not unmindful of the great
honor you and your associates con
ferred upon me, when by your unan-
imous vote you made me your nomi-
nee, 0 am / ~ungrateful. l realize
that you are rendering a great serv-
ice 10 the cause of clean politics and
better government in giving to the
progressive voters of the state an OPP
portunity to vote a ticket composed
of worthy, progressive candidates,
nor do / believe that that opportunity
will be wasted. Believe me, sirs,
when | assure you that my present
action was prompted only after due
elaboration, and a strong conviction
that human interests are paramount
to all other interests, and that in
state government the party and its
interests should be placed above the
dollar. and that the candidates pre-
sented for your consideration on the
independent ticket stand for those in
terests.
Holding these views, l willingly
subordinate any desires which I may
have that unity of all progressives
may obtain.
Having at all times assured you
of my loyalty to the national demo-
cratic platform and the splendid ad-
ministration of Woodrow Wilson and
his cabinet, ! would be untrue to my
self and unfair to the truly progress
sive democrats, did I not count his
praise and predict his reelection at
the hands of the splendid men who
make up the progressive voters of all
parties.
mo loyal American citizen will
raise his voice or cast his vote against
the splendid man who so recently
saved the citizens of this land from
the field of carnage, and who is SO
ardently striving to hasten the day
when legalized murder, called war.
shall If our president is pre-
vented from carrying out his pro-
gram. it will be due to the traitors in
his own party and for that reason /
propose to do all / can to unite all
men, holding my views for the great
battle of 1916 and see to 1t that cor

Grand Receiver j. e. Plat of Clark
and the chairman of the grand lodge
finance committee, G. r. Kimball of
Aberdeen. The dispute arose over
the share of death claims the grand
lodge should pay, and the grand
lodge finally refused to pay any share
of the claims. The controversy arose
several years ago, between the SUI
preme lodge and the grand lodges of
twenty states. The matter had been
amicably settled with the grand lodge
of eighteen states, South Dakota be-
ing the nineteenth to get in line.
Maine is now the Only grand lodge
holding out, and a conference with
representatives of the supreme lodge
and the grand lodge of Maine will be
held soon. The terms Of the agree
ment were not made public at the
conference.

HINDERS TRADE
Consular Reports Show Falling Of OF
Exports on Account of War.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The far
reaching effect of the European war
upon American trade is indicated in
a review of consular reports publish
ed by the department of commerce.
OF the three billion dollars worth
of foreign products bought by Great
Britain in 1912 the United States fur
nished 20 per cent, while Americas
share of Germany's two and a half
billion dollars worth of imports was
Is per cent. Eleven per cent of the
billion and a half dollars worth of
products bought by France came
from the United States.
To what extent trade has been in
terrupted by war will be determined
in a measure when the details of Au-
gusts exports are compiled later this
month. The total value of the ex-
ports was s11O,337,545, compared
with $1S7, 909,202 one year ago.
What part of that decrease was
caused by war has not been worked
out.
other nations involved in the Euro
pean conflict buy much of their i'm
ports from the United States. Eight
per cent Of Belgium's purchases in
1912, amounting to nearly $1,000
600 900, came from American ports.
The consular figures show that of
further products worth s3S0,000,0 900
imported into Brazil in 1912. only
Is per cent came from the United
States, although 40 per cent of
Brazil's exports were sent to Ameri-
can ports.

life and trying to act kittenish while their poor old bones ache with the rheumatism Undoubtedly the chief cause of the nervousness and irrit- ability that Is so characteristic of the present day woman Is mainly attributable to her determination to be young, though old.
 The real panacea for almost every i'll under which the feminine sex groans, Is simply to let out it's corset strings, cut an inch off of its shoe heels, go back to regular meals and restore the entry in the family Bible that says that Julia Maria was born on the 18th of March. 1862, instead of on the 25th day of March, 1882, as she has been in the habit of as serting.
 Age is woman's enemy only when she fights it. It becomes her best friend when she receives it with open arms; and for woman to be admittedly middle-aged Is for her to pass into place full of emo luments and privileges. It brings to her comfort and happiness and a peace that passes all understanding. If women only knew it. 1t Is the promised land, flowing with milk and honey for them, and there is only one things that prevents them from entering into their heritage. And that Is that no woman has ever yet been found who Is fifty years old.

BOILED FRos1ING.

 "I never succeeded in making a boiled frosting that felt sure would stay on the cake until I learned to make 1t without eggs. Now 1t neith- CT runs off nor cracks. follow the fondant rule for cream candy"
 Her recipe Is as follows: cups of sugar and h a cupful of water; stir till the sugar Is dissolved; boil without stirring until 1t hairs. then set aside to cool. When the bottom of the pan feels nearly cold. begin to beat the syrup. Keep the tea kettle handy. and if 1t begins to get too hard add few drops of hot water. When 1t turns white 1t Is ready to spread on the cake. By adding few drops of hot water from time to time every bit that is in the pan can be used. The sides of the cakes can be covered with the icing. and 1t will stay just where you put it. A chocolate frosting can be made by shaving the choco- late in with the sugar.

If the man you are engaged to keeps putting off your wedding day promises one day and vacilliates or avoids fixing the date, he is not the man to make any girl a good or safe husband
 Such a man is neurasthenic-a man whose nervous system Is un, stable. He has not that power for decision which makes for self-mas tery; he Is the victim of weak will force. His constant state of inde- cision. his fear of himself, the fact that he asks you to marry him, yet dilly-dallys instead of taking hold of the matter boldly and with confidence, show his unsuitable char. acter
 Such a man is not to be blamed or censured-he Is to be matrimoni. ally avoided.
 Some of these neurasthenic men will keep a girl engaged for month after month: yes. year after year, with all kinds of plausible excuses and when brought to the point of being compelled to fix a date for the marriage will disappear and some lllliCS IolllIiill
 These men have not the power of decision-of self-determination. If they are braced up to the point of getting to the altar woe be to the wife. Throughout her married life she will have to be the master in control, in deciding. in acting.
 The man who selfishly expects a girl to wait months and years. while he is making all kinds of promises and excuses, such as better prospects or family reasons, rarely intends to marry. These men are not deceivers in the general sense. They are sim- ply nervous incompetents. They may not show this trait in any other way to the ordinary observer, but the psychologist knows their kind and their condition.
 They cannot possibly bring them selves to the point of marriage. The stuff for decision Is not In them. They vacillate. waver. excuse, prom ise, but never act.

 What these inconsistencies lack Is the adaptability and strength of will which constitute the preliminary con- dition and fundamental requirement. of marriage.

AMERICAN GIRLS ABILITY.

Europe's brave women are the toast of the world. Burying their personal anguish in the great com mon anguish of nine countries plung- ed in war, they have taken up mems labor and added 1t to their own. Suppose such a call came to Ameri- can women? How would they re- spond to 1t? Mabelle M Ford. director of the Y. w. c. A. recrea- tion center, says: "If the American girl keeps her body as sturdy as her brain and heart. there is no task too big for her. The American girl of wealth and leisure Is generally ath- letic.
 "It is the girl who works for her living who must be encouraged to conserve and develop her physical energies That Is what we do here supply a place where girls and women can keep their bodies in per feet trim without making a labor of it. They have fun while they grow strong. Given physical fitness, there is no work man does that woman can not do.
 Woman, especially the American woman, Is a sort of civil soldier ready for every emergency. When her father loses money. or her hus- band dies, or her brother turns out wrong, the American woman Is to be counted on every time"
 Times haven't changed so much. It is only that woman finds she can best serve society in her own ways. the peaceful arts and industries, the forcing of good morals and manners" the civilizing of humanity. the building of the home.
