HOwARDS TROUBLES
LOVE FEASTS ARE NOT CONTIN-
UOUS IN ANYBODY'S TOWN.

Howard Democrat: Quite a howl
has been going up for the past two
or three months from u citizens on
the excessive raise in the amount of
Juice" they are consuming from the
municipal electric light plant. The
howl" was so loud and prolonged
that the mayor and city council made
an investigation and We understand
found that the rate had been i%ncreas-
ed about 20 per cent, but for what
purpose no one seems to know, I'M
less it is to make money in a hurry
so as to pay for the plant. 1t is also
said that there is some trouble ver
the coal, but just what it is WI are
not in a position to state at present.
There is also trouble among the en-
ployes at the plant and James Hum
phreys quits the first of March, with
Frank Hubbard liable to resign al
most any time. There Is one thing
certain our people are willing to pay
what is right for Juice" but they
are going to kick and kick mighty
hard on being held up for the pur-
pose of allowing the plant to make
money" A thorough investigation
by an expert should be made of the
plant at once and find out where the
fault lies.

EUGENICS BILL
SOUTH DAKOTA HOUSE ADOPTS
MEASURE, 20 To 81.

Pierre, Feb. BY a vote of 10
TO 81 the house this afternoon passed
the ~eugenics bill drawn by the Aber-
deem Social Science club, which re-
quires a physical examination of all
applicants for marriage license and
forbids the issuance of a license UNI
less health certificates for both of
the proposed contracting parties are
presented to the clerk of courts.
Two years ago the same bill was
voted down with only a handful of
affirmative votes. This session il
received only serious support in the
discussion on the floor and not a sin
gle dissenting argument was made
against it. The general support was
that the state had for years been
passing laws for the breeding up of
live stock, and ii was about time to
begin some action looking to the bet
terment of the population of the
state.
The military bill TO offer the old
Fort Sisseton military reservation
for sale. thus securing a portion of
the fund to purchase a new state
military camp and rifle range, went
down with a majority so large that
there was no possibility of a change
in that proposition. The section
contains a large number of buildings
and the general sentiment was that
these should be retained by the state
for future use.
Among the house bills introduced
at the afternoon session was one by
Buchholz, providing for auxiliary
election boards in all precincts which
cast more than 100 votes, the auxil-
larry board to begin its duties at ]
o'clock in the afternoon of election
day and canvass the votes cast up tc
that time, and continue the anyas
up to the time the polls close. thi:
for the purpose of securing more
speedy election returns.
The new temperance commission
bill was introduced at the Afternoon
session, which Is along the same pro

of changing from the right to pur

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and 1ustre, or
VIXEN it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this oldtime recipe
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents by asking at any drug store for So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
! Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite 70 impart
color and a youthful appearance to the
hair. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation OF prevention Of disease.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of rea! hot water
before breakfast to wash
out roisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live we'll, eat well, digest we'll, work
we'll, sleep we'll, look we'll. What O.
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, .stuEy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the Internal poisonous stag
nant matter
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire aiimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing q large volume Of water from
the blood and getting ready for
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism:
others who have sal1ow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of

FIFTEENTH EPISODE
The Murderer at BaV.

Pierpont Stafford cherished his ma
jestic country place principally be-
cause it furnished him an ample sol
itude. He could wander about it for
hours and never meet a soul. If he
wanted company, there was room for
it in the palace and in the formally
gardened grounds. And he could look
down on the tremendous peace Of the
Hudson river, admiring it's strength as
one strong man does another, and COM
plimenting it on the efficiency with
which it did such big business with
so little fuss.
He asked few persons to visit him,
and those few only when the mood
moved him. In his everyday life as a
man of big affairs he met so many peo-
pie and was SO pointed out when he
walked the streets that he acquired a
kind of shyness in his hours of leisure.
