MARK YOUR BALLOT

at Coming Election.

Mitchell, S D.-The Anti-Saloon
League has Just sent out information
throughout the state to the effect that
the vote for the adoption OF the prolll
bi,ion amendment to the constitution
this fall must be Yes" whereas a
vote in favor of prohibition at the
spring election has always been NO. '
There is apt TO be confusion in the
mind of the voters in this regard un-
less careful attention is given to the
matter. In the spring the question ON
the ballot is, Shall Intoxicating liq-
uors be sold at retail?' and NO vote
is a dry vote. At the fall election the
ballot will contain the title of the
resolution passed by the legislature
calling for prohibition amendment
to the constitution and under the title
will be the words, "Shall the above
amendment to the constitution be ap-
proved and ratified ?' and the dry
vote will have to be Yes
The entire ballot will be as fol
lows:
"A joint resolution proposing and
agreeing to an amendment of the con
sitution of the state of South Dakota

There is more catarrh in this sec
tlon of the country than all other
diseases put together, and for
years was supposed to be incnrable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies.
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurabIe. Catarrh is a local
disease, greatly influenced by con-
stitutional conditions and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
