The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being great
ly influenced by constitutional condi-

taken internally and acts through
the blood on the Mucous Surfaces of

SEEK LEGISLATIVE
.

VISIT To THE HILLS
Pioneer-Times In accordance with
a plan adopted some months ago by the
association of Black Hills Commercial
Club Secretaries, letter was sent by
Secretary Troth of the Deadwood Busi-
ness club to each Of the thirty candidates
for legislative honors in the Black Hills
counties, asking them 10 aid in securing
the vacation trip of the legislature next
January into the Black Hills. This let
ter was sent to republican and demo-
cratic candidates alike and ii is believed
that all who are elected will give their
support to the movement as II would
give the legislators an unusual oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with the
work and needs Of the various state in
sttutions in the Black Hills, all of which
are supported by the appropriations
made at the biennial sessions.
The letter follows:
DEAR SIR
The association of Black Hills Com
mercial Club Secretaries has delegated
me to write you urging your support of
a plan they have endorsed.
Each January it is customary for the
legislature to take trip to some part OF
the state The Black Hills region has
never been so favored and yet We have
numerous state institutions.
Why not pull for this trip for January,
1917? They can make a swing around
the circle and in few days learn at first
hand what we have and at the same
time be assured Of cordial welcome
If elected, We trust you will give this
your strong support
Very truly,
II. w. TROTH,
Secretary.

IF YOU WOULD PLAY THE GAME.
oh, Woman, here and everywh here,
Who would the ballot use
Remember what YOU all must do
To wear politicians shoes.
You must FIRST select party,
A lineup, good and strong;
Then vote your party's ticket straight,
BE it right or be It wrong.
lou must call your opposition
A liar, thief, a crook
Your side could never do a wrong
BY word, or deed, or look
Never mind your neighbors' feelings,
What's friend or two to lose.
You are in the game of politics
And can say Just what you choose.
You must ferret out the sad mistakes
The other woman made;
And if they are not dark enough,
You must use the proper shade.
For your side must be the winner
At whatever be the cost,
And you must never reckon
What it is that you have lost.
Don't say that you will play the game
A different, nobler way
This has been the way Tor ages,
II will be the way for aye.
So weigh well this mighty question,
For the sake of Womans name,
And remember all that you must do,
If you would play the game.

AND THE CONGRESSMAN SAW
Really Nothing Remarkable In story
Of Man Who Sold Horse at
So Much Foot.

Two or three newspaper men and n
congressman in Washington, who was
a merchant In private life, were swap
ping yarns.
II remember on one OCCASION" said
the congressman. ''hnving In stock
big lot of dry-goods remnants that
seemed to stick right by me In spite
of all / could do to get rid of them.
At last I advertised to sell them at
so much pound, and the curiosity of
people to see IL they could get more
at pound rates for their money than
they could get at yard rates soon
cleared out the stock. At another time
| sold a lot of side meat at so
much a square foot, taking the run
of the side. and the customers who
got bargains In the thick of the meat
encouraged others who had the luck
to get theirs out Of the thin, so I
evened up very nicely"
That reminds me-" remarked one Of
the correspondents, "of a horse l sold
once at so much foot"
How was thatr inquired the con-
gresham. somewhat puzzled. How
did you make your measurements I
can understand how you might sell
him at so much a hand, and coming out
pretty well on 1t If be was big fellow,
sixteen or seventeen hands high, but
I don't see how you got at him by the
foot"
THAT was easy enough. l simply
sold him at so much foot-$375O.
How much did you get for himY"
and the congressman got out his pen
Gil.
"A hundred and fifty dollars"
The congressman figured for about
sixteenth of minute.
II see," he said.

In the Sleeping Room.

Sleeping rooms should be, cold. Al
least one window should be opened
top and bottom all the time. The bed
should be as far from the windows as
possible, in a corner out Of the direct
draft The same treatment applies &c
small children and babies as we'll as
to their parents. The mother who car
convince herself OF this will get re
suits. She will discover that her baby
if properly clothed and with blanket
pinned around his crib to prevent 6
current of air, will sleep more quietly
learn to keep under his bed clothing
and will not catch cold so easily. o.
course this does not apply TO aillnf
infants or those under six weeks o
age.

Still Had Them.

What is known in q certain town as
"a Shop Carnival" was being held.
and little girls represented the VAR
Gus shops. One, dressed in a white
muslin frock gayly strung with gar
lands of bonbons, advertised the local
candy store.
When the festival began she fairly
glistened with attractive confectlon-
cry, but as time wore on her decora-
lions grew less. Finally, at the end
of the last act, not bonbon was to
be seen.
'Why, Dora" cried the stage man
ager, ''where in rhe world are all your
decorations? Have you lost themT"
"Oh, no." replied Dora; they're
perfectly safe. I'm wearing them in

ANclENTS DID GOOD WORK
Engineering Feat, II Is Said, coule
Hardly Be Improved Upon in the
Present Day.

Montezuma's well, natural lake fed
by artesian flow at Camp Verde, Ariz.,
which has been offered for sale
to the federal government, is one
of the geological features of that
neighborhood. Surrounded, as 1t is,
by high natural walls, ii seems from
q distance to be a small mountain.
The outside of these walls was pierced
in a prehistoric age by cliff dweiiers.
The well is a gredt spring and has
been used for irrigation purposes for
many years. Its depth has never been
absolutely ascertained, but is known
to be in excess of 500 feet. The wa
ter is highly charged with lime, and
moss removed froi1 the inside walls
and exposed to the air soon petrities,
the fibers being clearly discernible in
the composition. That the ''well' sup
piled the original, and now unknown,
inhabitants of the valley with water
for their fields and gardens is estab-
lished by the tracing of system of
irrigation bitches, which, according to
biologists, must have been construct
ed more than a thousand years ago.
The water they carried deposited lime
along the entire system, and the forma-
ton, which may be seen now, is solid
mass of stone, resembling concrete of
this day. The walls of the bitches, in
places, measure more than three feet
thick. The builders performed an en-
y
proved upon in this modern day.
