Consents to "Bone Dry" Measure.

Consents to "Bone Dry" Measure.
r. N. Holsaple, superintendent OF
the South Dakota antisaloon league,
has announced that the league will
consent to the elimination of the
clause in it's prohibition bill which
would permit a limited quantity Of
liquors for home consumption and that
it will support a bone dry" measure.
This action of Mr.. Hoisaple averts a
struggle in the legislature which had
been expected to develop with the in
PRODUCTION of the bill. Strong opposi-
ton developed throughout the state
to the limited prohibition measure the
antisaloon league offered and senti-
ment for a bone dry" bill found ex-
preston in hundreds of kilograms and
letters to members of the legislature.
Mr.. Holsaple said that he had included
in the bill the allowance OF a limited
quantity of liquors in order to bring
out discussion and thus to determine
what the prevailing sentiment wished.

Flag to Be Displayed.

Even the House bill to require the
American flag to be displayed at all
polling places on election days found
It's opponents, principal of which was
Larson, of Yankton, who was afraid
OF the expense to the counties in sup
plying the necessary flags for that pur-
pose. Hursh, of Lawrence, who was
the author Of the bill, said it was
time for some counties to incur a little
expense along that line, and to take
steps toward intoxicating patriotism in
the voters Of the state, and the bill
went through with plents of votes to
spare on the final count.

for Her Experiences.

"A severe kind Of rheumatism

August and she had to stay in ber or
In rocking chair for five weeks. She
had an awful pain the back of her
neck, around her shoulders and
across her back" said Mrs. Fannie
Alexander, of SO Ninth street, Samp-

March 21st to tell Of the remarkable
results Tanlac gave her daughter.
'She was so nervous she would
jump at the least noise. Often she
cried out during the night and sell
dom did she get good nights rest.
From the time the rheumatism at
tackled her until she began taking
Tanlac, she did not get single
good nights sleep.
"She had no appetite and also
suffered a great deal with indiges-
tion. She was under treatment for
good while, but the medicine SEEM
ed to do her no good.
But in week after she began
taking Tanlac. she had been made a
different woman, and now she is in
fine health. The Tanlac restored her
appetite, she is not troubled with in
digestion now, and those rheumatic
pains have LEFT her. She improved
wonderfully after she began taking
Tanlac. 1t certainly is the finest
tonic | know Of for rheumatism, and
she is back at work now. Tanlac is
responsible for her being able to
work now. and her income stops
when she stops work. She is so
thankful for what Tanlac did for her,
and we all recommend it as the best
remedy we know Of"
