A WORD FOR MOTHERS

1t is grave mistake for mothers to
neglect their aches and pains and suffer
in silence-this only leads to chronic
sickness and often shortens life.
If work is firing, if your nerves are
excitable, if you feel ianguid, weary or
depressed, SCOTS Emulsion will
prove a wonderful strengthened.
1t possesses the very elements to
invigorate the blood, nourish the
nerves and build strength.
Every druggist has SCOTS. Try It.

NOT THE ONLY ONE

There are other Pierre people sim :
ilarly situated.
Can there be any stronger proof of
fered than the evidence of Pierre res
idents? After you have read the fol-
lowing, quietly answer the question.
Chas. b. Grauel, proprietor black
smith shop, 264 Pierre ST., Pierre,
says: "Many years of hard work was
what weakened my kidneys and
brought on the trouble | had four
years ago. | had backache and some
nights could hardly get a wink of
sleep. At work some days | had such
terrible pains across the small of my
back | had to sit down. The kidney
secretions passed very often and were
scanty and burning. | used several
different kidney remedies without
getting relief before | tried Doan's

PACKERS HELPERS
on HOOVER STUFF
Swift Books Show Government
Employees Carried on
Pay Roll.

In denial of the report that none
of the dollar men serving ON the Food
Administration are being paid by the
Packing trust, Attorney Heney OF the
Federal Trade Commission furnished
detailed proof from the Packers ac,
counts.
The salaries these gentlemen are
drawing from the packers represent
roughly the amount OF harm they can
do the people Of the United States.
The investigation of the Packing
Trust has shown the trust as resort
ing to every means to peat the ma
ton in war as well as in peace. There
is absolutely no reason for believing
they are paying men on the Food
Commission for anything else than
the same selfish purpose. 1t is worthy
OF note that at least two of these sal
aries are paid III advance.

The Filipino is certainly original,
as is evidenced by some Of the an
swers returned to questions asked by
members of the draft board. Mrs.
j. H. Howard of Vermillion received
q letter from a friend in Honolulu,
and she tells the following: Frank
has been helping on the draft board
here. A Filipino came in who couldn't
understand English very we'll. One
question read, In what department
Of the army do you wish to server
He didn't understand infantry, artil-
lery, ETC., so Mr.. Warren said, You
like to shoot big gun, you like shoot
little gun, you like walk, you like
ride, you like hy?' The fellow re-
piled, More better | fly, | got corns.
Another question was, Have you
ever served a term in PRISON. a
fellow said, two years. They asked,

The ground is in excellent condition and
with no snow, the sloughs and low

Don't stop writing to the soldier boy
even if you do not hear from him.
Make your letters cheerful as possible.
Give all the little bits of family and
neighborhood news you can think Of
but don't tell him any bad news

utterly helpless to help straighten out
things.
Don't rush the garden season, is
the advice of F.. E Mccall, horticul-
tural specialist of the state college
extension division. The ground is
not yet warm enough to plant any
but the most hardy varieties, and
most garden seed planted now will
decay. Most varieties will produce
food crops just as soon if planted two
weeks later.
A notice from the United States
land office reads that homesteaders
who have started valid settlement on
public land can obtain leave of alb.

farm labor and that their absence
will be counted as constructive resi-
dence, providing they are actually
engaged in farm labor, which fact
will have to be corroborated by
sworn %atlidavit.

recent low temperatures sailed in the
corn market after an eNrly advance
had been more than offset by sym
pathy with weakness which devel-
oped in the oats trade. The initial
gains by corn were ascribed to an evil
dent decrease from rural sources and
to scarcity of offerings. On the late
uptrrn the principal demand came
from shorts. More favorable weather,
present and prospective. counted TO
some extent against any important
