THE NEWEST REnEDY
FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried to all parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drOwsiness, irrita-
bility. headaches, chillineSS ard rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and lOins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate drOpSy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
joints, it causes lumbagO, rheumatism,
CONT or sciatica. This is the time to try
"Anuric."
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from SOme vegetables. The Door
Kidneys get tired and backache begins.
This is q good time to take 0Anuric,"
the new discovery of DR.. Pierce for Kid
ney trouble and Backache. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
deaths, and Insurance Company eXamin-
ing doctors always test the water of al
applicant before a policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside u bottle of water
for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi-
ment or settling sometimes indicates kid
ney trouble. The true nature and char
acter of diseases, especially those of the
kidneys and urinary organs, car often
be determined by a careful chemical an
alysis and micrOscOpical examination

Medical Staff of the Invalids' Hotel. If
you wish to know your condition send a
sample Of your water to Doctor Pierce's
scribe your symptoms. 1t will be ex-
amined without any expense to you, and
Doctor Pierce or his Staff of Assisting
Physicians will inform you truthfully.

ALLEGED LETTERS To
MRS. MABEL MCGOWAN
under COURT ATTACK
Three Experts Glass Missives
rs Forgeries-Woman Denies
She Wrote Them.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Jan. s.-Handwrit-
Ing experts were on the witness stand
Yesterday in behalf OF h defense in
the sensational damage suit instituted
la, against Mrs. Mabel E. MCGOWAN,
a widow, of Milbank, S. d. for the al
legged offense of alternating the affec-
tons of Mr.. Armour.
Mrs. MCGOWAN herself took the wit
ness stand in further substantiation OF
the allegation that the "Ortcnyilie let
ter" which has become famous in the
trial through it's introduction as an
EXHIBIT by the defense, is a forgery.
Thai is the opinion expressed by Judge
trank McNulty, of Aberdeen, and c..
H. Babcock, of Sisseton, attorneys for
Mrs. MCGOWAN.
These two attorneys placed on the
witness stand three bank representa-
Ives to testify in comparison of admit
ted samples of the widows handwrit-
ing, with the letter in question, to show
the alleged forgery claimed. o. 0. Will
son, travelling representative Of the
First & Security National bank of Min
neapolis, one of the three witnesses on
handwriting called by the defense. stat
ed that in his opinion the "Ortonvnle
letter. was obviously a forgery and was
not written by Mrs. MCGOWAN, although
strikingly similar.
There is nothing salicious in the let
ter exhibits in the case, SO far as thus
introduced, and they nave been placed
in evidence for the chief purpose of at
tempting to show ar effort and willing
ness on the part OF the defendant to
receive the attentions of the plaintiffs
husband.
Two other witnesses, Frank Rob-
erts, president Of the First National
bank of Milbank, and Phil Saunders,
vice president of the Merchants Ma
tional bank of Milbank. too the wit
ness stand to testify concerning the
handwriting on the different letter ex-
hihits. They also Indicated their be-
lief that the "Ortonville letter. was a
forgery.
When on the witness stand, Mrs. Nc
Gowan herself denied that she had
written this letter, and declared 1t a
forgery.

end OF LUSITANIA
CASE IS In SIGHT
Lansing and Bernstorff Expect
to Reach Agreement With
in Week.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
and Secretary Lansing had another
conference in the Lusitania negotia-
tons today which both agreed had
been described as confidential. The
ambassador asks to have only one more
conference with the secretary and that
inside of a week. This fact is talk en-
to mean that only the one more ex-
change between Washington and Ber-
lin is necessary before the long con-
troversy is ended.
American officials reflected the view
that a satisfactory settlement is IN
sight which will include indemnities 70:
the 115 American lives lost and a salts
factory expression of regret or disap-
prevail.
1t is known that the principal point
which has been delaying settlement is
the ~phraseology. Germany has CON
tended that the best disavowal she
could offer was her orders to submar-
inc commanders not to repeat such an
incident and that she could not disaeow.
the action although she regretted the
loss of so many Americans. The Uni
ted States has been contending that
the disavowal should be expressed in
some way.

WEAK ARMY WILL
Invite DISASTER
Chief of Staff Tells Congress
America Should Have From
100000 to 100000
Trained Men.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Major General
Scott, chief of staff of the army, told
the House military committee at the
army bill hearing today that in the
event of war, the country must have an
army of 1.0O0, 900 to 1900, 900 men or
accept disaster"
The chief of staff reiterated Secre-
tary Garrison's view that if the con-
tinental army plan failed there was no
escape for compulsory service. Every
country at war in Europe realized that,
he said, and he expressed the view that
England might better have r~ealized'i it
sooner.
General Scott said that under a ser
vice system, which laid the burden
alike upon all men from is to Al as
a public duty an adequate army could
be maintained for what is now paid
for the small standing army. He
thought the pay under such a, system
should be merely nominal. OF the Ell
ficiency of the regular army now he
said:
Our organizations, as far as they
go. compare favorably with the troops
of any foreign power"
School training vas desirable, but
not practical because of lack of cor
troll by the federal government, the gem
eral thought. He believed it would
not be necessary to provide additional
academies, to train officers needed for
the proposed mobile army of SOC, OOO
men.
The plan of the administration as a
measure of self defense, he said, was
not proposed in the anticipation of war,
He believed organization of the contin-
entail army would not interfere with re
cruiting for the national guard because
the two forces would appeal to differ
ent classes of men.
He added thai training in the contin-
entails would produce better soldiers
than the national guard system.

DAKOTA FARMS HAVE
ENOUGH POTASH FOR
ABOUT $500 YEARS
Fertilizer Shortage Not Cause
of Worry There-Legumes
to Supply Nitrogen.

Brookings. S. D., Jan. 12.-"South
Dakota m will not feel the short.
age of potassium in the least said
j. G. Hutton, associate ~agronomist of
state college, in referring to the recent
fertilizer report OF Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston. Concerning the fer
tiliZer and soil fertility situation in
South Dakota, Professor Hutton said:
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has recently issued a timely warning
as to the conservation of fertilizing
materials. The fact that potash
(potassium) can not be purchased IN
America will undoubtedly be a serious
drawback to many farmers and truck
growers in the United States. How
ever, South Dakota farmers will not
feel the shortage of potassium in the
least.
Among the great resources of the
state the greatest by far is the supply
of plant food in the soil. Plant food
Is the stuff from which crops are made.
There is potassium enough in the soils
of South Dakota to last for centuries.
The average soil Of South Dakota con-
tains from $4,000 to 40, 900 pounds Of
potassium in the surface layer about,
seven inches deep over an acre, and the.
subsoil usually contains a slightly,
higher percentage .. this element. 1t
requires II pounds Of potassium to grow
100 bushe of corn-19 pounds in the
grain and So pounds in the stalks. If
the stalks are returned to the soil a
b0-bushel yield OF corn will remove
less than 10 pounds of potassium per
acre per year. Twenty-Five thousand
pounds of potassium would then last
for $500 years. 1t is also of interest
to know that as an average of five
years results at the experiment field
at ~Brookings, S. D., the application Of
1888 worth of potassium per year
gave an increase of crop valued at 10
cents per acre, q net loss of $3.5S. The
potash famine will not affect South
Dakota farmers.
Nitrogen is another important ele-
ment Of plant food in the soil. This
element varies from less than 1000
pounds to about 5000 pounds in the
surface soil per acre and there is much
less in the subsurbace soil and little
in the subsoil. 1t requires 148 pounds
of this element to grow 100 bushels Of
corn and 100 pounds is in the grain.
! Soil analyses show that nearly / per
cent Of the nitrogen per year may
disappear from soils in South Dakota.
The nitrogen problem is a big prob
lem for South Dakota farmers, but here
again we are fortunate in not having
to buy it as long as we can raise
clover, alfalfa, or sweet clover. These
crops can take the nitrogen from the
air, which contains about 10000, 900
pounds of nitrogen ove every acre.
There is no need Of any one in South
Dakota paying freight on nitrogen from
South America or dealers profits for
handling it when he can have a nitro
gen factory on his farm by simply
/ growing clover, sweet clover or alfalfa

HUME URGES FARMERS TO
START SEED CORN TESTS

B~rookings, S. D., Jan. S.-Farmers
will do well to make a composite test
Of seed corn within the next few
weeks, according to DR.. a. N. hume.
agronomist at State college. He sug-
gests making this kline of test to eli
inmate worthless corn before making
a single ear test later on. He says:
Previous to making a single a test,
l would suggest that corn intended for
seed might well first be given a COM
posite test at any very early date. The
simple rag doll tester can be used for
this, but the kernels to be tested would
simply be taken at random to represent
all portions of the lot of corn under ex-
animation. Use 100 kernels. A COM
posite test ought to show a termination
of at least rs or so per cent at the start.
Obviously it is not worth while pro-
ceeding to make a single ear test of any
lot of corn that consists largely of dead
ears. Moreover, If the preliminary
composite test shows a very high ger
mination, say 90 or more. the single
ear test is not even necessary and time
may be saved"
