Goats Milk Is Favored.

Everyone who is at all acquainted
with the milk goat knows of the value
of the milk for infants and invalids'
use-one of the first points about the
milk goat that presents itself, asserts
q writer. The goat is practically free
from tuberculosis. According to the
annual reports Of the bureau of animal
industry GU. 81, covering federal in
spection Of animals slaughtered for
food, there were inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914, inclusive,
579,617 goats, Of which not a single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
losis. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument in favor Of the
milk Of the goat. The cream globules
of the milk Of the goat are smaller
than those Of cows milk, and because
of this milk being condensed the cream
globules are contained in a more per-
feet state of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument in favor of ster-
ilized milk Is that authorities agree it
is actually more easily digested than
is the fresh milk, this referring to
goats and cows milk alike.

Do the right thing at the right time,
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger, Doau's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of Pierre evidence of their
worth.
Anton Hansen, PSI Pawnee St.
Pierre, says: "Several years ago my
back was very strong and was proud
of what ! could lift. After awhile,
however, began having a catch in
my back and spells of backache and
q doctor told me that the trouble was
due to weak kidneys. Just a short
time ago l learned of Doan's kidney
Pills and got some at Straight's Drug
Store. They Strengthened my back
and the old trouble entirely left me. ,
Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful"
Statement given September 2, 1000
Over Ten Years Later, or on Octo-
Der D, 1917, Mr.. Hansen said: "When-
ever | need Doan's Kidney Pills, | get
the same good relief. Doan's have
never failed to rid me of backache. "

Huron State Spirit; The board of

that in order to make possible 3 re
lease of industrial workers, the school
year in the senior high school would
be shortened by two weeks and that
older boys and girls who were able
to do industrial work would be ex-
cused from further class work on
April 1. After April / any boy or
girl of proper age and strength in any
grade will be excused with credit for
the remainder of the school year to
take a specific task approved by the

will be recorded at the close of the

America faces this year the greatest
scarcity of seed for a decade at least.
Great corn producing states have little
seed corn. Most of them report none
except some corn which was cut early.
and a few scattering fields of early
corn. A personal observation in these
states leads to the conclusion that
South Dakota is better off than any
other state in the northern part of the
corn belt. Reports from most of the
counties indicate that we will have
enough seed corn to supply our needs,
and perhaps some to spare, though
that is yet an open question.

and like it fine. This is sure q

are bringing it to this country.
Harold (Finley) is not with me now

has already been in the trenches and
got gassed-We are in the service

in the new art Of warfare; Can't

but Am anxious for the time to
come so | can do my bit with the
other boys. Don't expect I will
ever get . chance to see any Of your
boys, as I'm q long ways from the

to run around. The French people
are 0. K. and | am glad that the
United States saw fit to help these

and then they are very deserving,
and also appreciate what is being

also saw a real air fight only q
little way from us but very high.
Five German planes took after one
of the British. 1t only lasted 2 or
8 min. and the British plane burst
into flames, the wings flew from it
and it went nose downward to the
ground. But while fighting it was
. sight worth seeing-the speed
they were going and the figures
they we're cutting in the air. They
say the air men are burnt to a crisp
before they reach the ground and |
believe, it for this plane was all
one fire and it must have taken all
of 80 seconds to reach the ground.
This all happened at Ypres BEL
GUM. I'll say this must have
been a pretty town, but it is only
brick and stone piles now. There
isn't q building in it that one can
tell what it was supposed to have
been. And the Germans are still
hammering at it and dropping
bombs. The worst fighting is al
ways at night.
Well, | must close. Give my
best regards to all. | am feeling
fine and expect to 60 back to the
front soon. Your Brother,

A. P. Lindquist, who has rooms
on the second floor Of the Van Asch
brick. building, on Main street, was
hailed before Justice Bleser on a
charge Of violation of the liquor
law last week. Two bottles of port
wine were found in Lindquist's po-
session. He maintains that the
wine has not the percent Of alcohol
which would bring it under the law
of i~ntoxicants. The justice placed
him under 500 bonds to appear be-
fore the district court, while the
wine was sent to the state chemist
for analysis and decision as to its
Intoxicating properties.
What happened to be a more flag
rant violation Of the law resulted in
the arrest Saturday afternoon of
Henry ]. Pfeffer, a brakeman on
the local passenger train which
ends its western trip at this place.
Pfeffer was suspected Of bringing
in liquor from Minnesota, and be-
ing confronted by Deputy Sheriff
Crawford with . request to open the
suit case he declined to do 80, and
carried the grip to his lodgings. A
search warrant was secured and
when the grip was opened no liquor
was found in It but bottles Of wine
and whisky were found in the room
where the grip had been taken.
Pfeffer when facing the probapili-
ty Of being bound over to the cir
cult court asked to have Judge
Bouck sent for that he might plead
guilty, with the expectation that
only . nominal fine would Be his
sentence, and he would be able to
get back to his work at once. On
being questioned BY the Judge - to
who he was bringing in the liquor

Of guilty sentenced him to pay 500
