state championship. Madison high
comes here next Saturday and these
old rivals will battle at the college
park. The two teams played a prac-
tice game early in the season which
ended in a Z to 7 tie, so the game
next Saturday is sure to be close. On
Thanksgiving Day Pierre high comes

CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Brookings Readers

For months Bookings citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Bookings residents. Would these
prominent people recommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed if personal ex-
perience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy of endorsement? The
following statement should carry con-
viction to the mind of every Brook
ings reader.
B. G. Tolliver, Brookings, S. D.,
says: For years l suffered from kid
ney complaint and was Frustrated at

Many housekeepers whose husbands
are on moderate salaries will let the
kitchen run itself without any auditing
of accounts until there is a hue and
cry over bills from the head of the
house, and then there will be tears and
accusations.
A man who furnishes the money to

The wife who throws it out in waste
and neglect is misappropriating funds
II II is beneath a woman to take a
personal interest in her kitchen, then it
should be beneath her to accept the

cook said to another: II guess she was

source of elephantiasis as well as bird
anaemia: the stegomya mosquito, as the
source of yellow fever, and the tAetse
fly as the reservoir for magana and
the death-dealing sleeping illness.
All of these maladies are caused by

type. How then are the ailments that
