WELL-PAID WOMEN
BUY NEW CLOTHES

New YOrk-A wounded Amaze had
come to America to lecture. He bore
some honorable scars on his body,
which were symbolized by stripes on
his arm. A woman touched the stripes
and asked what were his worst wounds.
He described one, which was a clean
hole made by bullet. In his informal
Amaze manner, he asked If she would
like to see it. She would. So would
everyone else at the luncheon. So he
showed her the bullet hole below the
collar bone.
"How very disappointing! she ex-
claimed. II expected great cash."
The Amaze buttOned his collar
thoughtfully, and turning to the table
said: "Now, ask you, what are we
going to do, with women if they begin
to expect so much of men in this warp
And what will they do with them
Men have begun to expect so much of
themselves, that the situation is the
most vitality interesting thing on this
planet, next to the war, observes dis
tinguished fashion writer.
Women are gaining so much more by
this war than they ever demanded, that
many are puzzled and some are near
hysterical.
Once we were a contented race then
we became an unquiet sex; then we
became a restless force; and then we
became a militant power

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which center
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache. pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

was furnished for the occasion and
the large congregation that had as.
sembled were amply repaid for their
attendance and entertained as well. in
an instructive way. After the return
Of the Rev. Mr.. Mast from a short
trip that will keep him away from the
city for the mex three Sundays, it is
hoped that these very helpful illustra.
tons may be introduced from time to
time. Dignified and educational HELMS

are very useful in building UP the
knowledge of the people along the
lines of endeavor for good that are be-
ing carried out all through the world.
The general public as we'll as the mem
bers of Mr.. Mast's congregation will
welcome more of such services.

A SUDDEN A

Two weeks ago today Forrest ].
Smith of La Crosse, Wis, was in this
city consulting with his brother, Frank
O. Smith, concerning the settlement
of the estate of their late sister, Mrs.
NJ. f. Wimsey. He left that evening
for his home, going by way of st.
Paul. The next morning he was
stricken with apoplexy at the head of
the stairs in the union depot il ST.
Paul as he assembled to the street
level. His death was sudden and be-
fore any assistance could reach him
he was gone from this life. The body
was taken at once to his home in La
Crosse and the funeral occurred the
following Monday. Rumor of his pass
ing and an incorrect account appeared
in one of the daily papers, so the Reg
lister waited until the return of Frank
0. Smith from the funeral in order to
obtain the correct account.
Mr.. Smith was well known to many
people in Bookings, as he and his
wife have been here a number of
times on visits to his sister, the late
Mrs. NJ. +. Wimsey. To these friends.
as well as to his family and friends
at his home, his sudden demise was
a great shock. Only a couple of
weeks before he had been examined
by one of the best physicians and pro
nounced in good health. He was in
in lumber interests in Wis
consin and also in various enterprises
in La Crosse. He leaves a widow and
his brother, Frank o. Smith, of this
as his immediate survivors. be-
a number of other relatives.
Frank Smith and the widow have the
leep sympathy of their many friends
this affliction, coming as it does in
such a short time after the death of
he sister, Mrs. Wimsey.

| am planning to farm to the extreme
limit. One city man last year spent
his half holidays helping a farmer
taking his pay in supplies such as po-
tatoes, vegetables and fruits. This
plan combines recreation with produc-
ton and should prove a popular form
of war work"
Farmers who are going to need
seed corn should call at an early date
and look over the seed that the local
dealers have on hand. Ask where the
corn came from, what it is going to
test, and what the price is, and il
these conditions suit take what you
need at once. The reason l suggest
this is because these same dealers are
having chances to sell in other coun-
ties, and naturally do not like to hold
corn at the present price, though they
would much prefer that Brookings
county farmers have the corr to use.
