Christian Science Healing.


What is Christian Science heal
ing? It is the overcoming of dis
ease by the same method which
Jesus employed, that is, by UNDER
standing and utilizing the infinite
power Of God, Who, according to
the palmist, healeth all our infirm-
tiles. The results in Christian
Science healing differ from those
brought about by other methods in
that they are moral a. we'll a.
physical. and far more complete,
satisfactory, and enduring. Jesus
never employed nor recommended
the use Of matter In any form to
cure di1eass. II 10 mot cosy TO see

Lord only knows what we have passed
through during this war and we do
not know what we shall do the most,
shed tears or laugh and sing for joy,
fer we have done both.
Right from the start we were press
ed down and used as enemies, al
though we then belonged to Germany
and our boys had to fight on the Ger
man side, but a good many of them
ran over to the French to fight with
them and from then on all our letters
had to be strictly examined and we
would not have dared to write one
word against our army or about the
sufferings we had to endure, for whole
villages in our country have been
burned down, just for the deeds of
perhaps one of the citizens and this
in some cases innocently.
But now it is all over and we can
breathe again as we like, but we are
, all used up and how are the people?
Here we are now, after four years of
struggle, with so many of our friends,
our fathers, brothers and sons in the
grave, which in most of the cases is
unknown and far off. And we who
are still living are, a good many of us,
broken down in body and soul from
lack of proper foods, and our savings
of many years used up. With very
| little chance to earn something, we
had to spend everything to keep alive
for the prices were awfully high
around here. Meat was $3.50 to $500
pound, butter So to 81 and would be
SIS now, had the war kept on. Soap
81 or pound of butter; oil So quart,
shoes $50 to $25 a pair: 8-weeks-o old
pigs were sold at $50 each; potatoes
$3.50 to So bushel and all the other
things of course accordingly. All this
we could only get by taking a trip on
the train, hunting around among
farmers from one village to the other
! About the war don't want to write
anything, for am sure you know the
truth about it better than we do, for
we got fooled daily about everything,
until, finally, the whole story fell to-
gether. We are so far all well, only
weakened some from the constant
want of nourishing food, especially
grease was lacking considerably.

which is equivalent to that of prince.

Before the war Colonel Lawrence

dialects, he was sent by the war office
in 1914 to do intelligence work in
Egypt. Later he was assigned to aid
in the negotiations with the king of
the Hedjaz who revolted against the
Turks at Medina in June, 1916. after
ward joining the sherif's military
service. He adopted the full Arab kit
of flowing robe, headpiece and golden
dagger.
With Sheriff Feisul, he planned the
blowing up of troop and munition
trains on the Hediaz line, and so sue

Turks put. price on their heads OF
$4,000 each if taken alive, and $780,
900 dead.
They blew up seventeen trains, one
a great troop train which contained
Djemal Pasha, commander in chief OF
the Turkish army, and his staff. For
this train Colonel Lawrence lay in
wait for nearly three days and nights.
Several trains were permitted to
pass in safety. Then came the big one
and Colonel Lawrence pressed but
ton that set off a mine. The two huge
engines were toppled into ravlne and
the train was wrecked. Djemal Pa
sha's car near the end was derailed,
and the commander-in-chief was
launched into space. Uninjured, he
picked himself up from the sand and
fled for life, tearing off, as he ran, his
medals, decorations and epaulettes.
These were found later and given to
Colonel Lawrence.

Good Roads MeetinQ

Messrs. Phil C. Saunders and
George Burke attended the good
roads meeting at Aberdeen last
week, and they report that the meet
ing was attended by representatives
from the several counties through
which the Yellowstone trail passes
and also representatives from many
of the county commissioners boards
in this part of the state. The state
highway commission also had repre-
sentatives in attendance and these
gentlemen stated in Grant county
the Yellowstone trail the King of
Trails and road leading north
from Milbank to Corona, should be
designated as state and federal
roads. From federal, state and
county sources some $l55, COO
will be available during the next
three years. and this sum properly
expended would make something of
a fair road east and west and north
and south through the county.

bank as cite for a new bank build

The business Of the bank has so
increased during the last few years
that the present quarters now in

handling.
The location is a very fine one,
and with a building such as the
bank purposes to erect, which will
be the full width of the two lots
and 120ft. deep, and probably three
stories in height, the improvement
will ad greatly to the structural ap-
pearance Of Milbank's business

rendered by the band had received
an enthusiastic ovation from the
boys, Gen. Liggett sent his chief of
staff to director Harold Bachman
who presented the generals compli-
ments, said that his commander
wished him to say the bandmen that
this was the best band he had heard
in the American army in his forty
two years of experience.
This compliment seemed to in
spire the men to even better efforts
for after the next number by the
band. Gen. Liggett turned to Col.
Walker, commanding the 10th en-
gineers and exclaimed. Colonel,
that Band is worth a Million Dollars

1t is said that the officers of the
Sunset Division, were nearly as well
pleased at the compliments as were
the members Of the band.
They soon began to talk of the

name followed this band wherever
