The local Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION has been staunchly support
ed and aided by the club. During the
past year the club loaned the associa-
ton $500 Of it's surplus funds. thus
materially aiding in the erection OF
residences which were so sorely need
ed TO house new citizens. We do not
believe there is another Commercial
club located in a city the size OF Brook
ings that has such a surplus in the
treasury, certainly no club could put it
TO better use. l. is hoped that more
of the club members and citizens gen.
orally viii acquire stock in the Build.
ing and Loan Association. The need
for more residences is urgent and
many are ready and willing to build
providing they al secure funds
through the association.
The Winnipeg to Gulf Highway as
ISOLATION held their annual meeting
here upon invitation of the club. which
loaned the use of its rooms for the
meeting. entertained the delegates
and otherwise assisted At this meet
ing the Black and Yellow trail was
formally dedicated. DR.. A A. Harris
is an officer of the association and
credit is due him for It's success as
well as securing the meeting for
Brookings.
During the year Sioux City and St
Paul sent out special trains filled with
boosters. both OF which stopped at
Brookings. The Commercial club Ne
eeived them right royalty, giving them
every assistance and extending every
courtesy possible with the result that
the St Paul party. at least. voted
Brookings the most interesting and
livest city they visited on their entire
trip. Brookings was given much good
advertising by this and also by means
Of moving pictures taken by the visit
ors and afterwards exhibited in the
large cities and other towns.
One hundred dollars was donated by
the club for q safe and sane celebra-
ton Of the nations birthday. This
was expended under the auspices Of
the Civic League in a historical pa
geant, together with tableaux, on the
college campus the evening of July
4th- Altogether IL was one OF the
prettiest and most enjoyable occasions
Of the year. To Miss Nola Fromme
must be given a share OF the credit
for its recess The club also assisted
the Race Meet at the fair grounds
upon the same day by furnishing
music. advertising. etc.
One Of the finest things did By the
club vas the entertaining Ct all the
youngsters In the city who had come
to the discretionary age OF 20 years or
more. This splendid idea originated
with Prof. Kerr. Out OF this grew the

Early in March the club entertained

EXPOSE OF RAffLES
PLEASES EMPLOYEES
Bureau of Engraving Workers Glad
that No More Chanee-buyins Will
Threaten Pocketbooks.

Most Of the employees OF the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing were over
loved yesterday morning by The Herald
expose Of the alleged practice OF railing
of articles of value at the establishment
in plain violation of the local gambling
For many months these rafrIes have
been held at the Bureau. although more
or less claudestinely, and have been a
source of annoyance to many OF the en-
ployes. The raffles have been conducted
for the benefit of various organizations
and charitable movements, and for the
most part. ii Is understood, have been
managed by persons who were unaware
OF the fact that they were violating the
law.
Nearly every pay day for many
months back employees have been re-
quested by those managing the raffles
to purchase a chance. These demands
have taxed heavily the pocketbooks OF
many employees. who. because OF their
pride, dislike to refuse to aid the par
ticular cause. Consequently. the EN-.
ployes welcomed the news that officials
Of the Bureau would put an end TO the
practice 1t is understood that even nov
gold watch is being raffled on. the
winner not yet having been announced
oficials OF the Bureau maintain they
have not known Of any cases of raffles
at the establishment for several years
but add that they will use every ef'
fort TO suppress the practice In the
future.

Gals are confident that IN view OF
the demands of the United States the
incident will have no effect on the

1t is probable that the report OF the

IL will be made the basis of any rep

not complete. The United States was
not furnished with the sworn state

on the Hesperian. Germany has pre-
yiously declared. in response to in

no German submarine was in the vi

struck, in September. and therefore
disclaimed responsibility.

Because Catarrh affects the nose
and throat, causing sores in the nos
trils, stoppage of air-passages and
gathering in the throat, it has been
common practice to treat Catarrh by
lotions, washes and sprays applied to
these parts. This mode of treatment
is entirely wrong. 1t cannot give per
manent relief, and it is liable to iIri-
tate and aggravate the trouble. Ca
tarrh cannot be trified with. II al
lowed to run on it will disease the
bronchial tubes, settle on the lungs,
the stomach-indeed it is very Sc
rious disease. Don't treat it locally.
The fact that it causes headaches is
proof that it is caused by impure and
diseased blood. The one treatment
that has proved effective in the treat
ment of Catarrh is S. S. s., it is the
