H. Allen, Sylvania, Go. “After years of suffering with rheumatism, liver trouble, stomach disorders deranged kidneys, I am again, thanks to Electric Bitters, sound and well.” Try them.

A letter from South Dakota.

Acme, So. Dak., Feb. 23. Mr. F. E. Babcock. Dear Sir:—Please change my Democrat from Middle Creek, So. Dak., to Acme, So. Dak., as Middle Creek P. O. is discontinued. We could not get along without the home paper. Would say we are having fine weather all of this month, February, much better than the paper reports for Indiana, but had four weeks of severe cold last of December and first three weeks of January. It got as low as 34 below and was above but about five times in that put up ice 24% inches thick'-by measurement. No loss of life in this part of the country that We heaid of, but stock died in every direction, mostly from the lack of feed as the weather was so bad people could not get to town to haul feed, and hay was from sl9 to $23 per ton. Corn was $1.50 per TOO pounds; potatoes at present are 3%c per pound; apples 6% to 8 1-3 -cents per pound. Flour is $1.50 per sack, made in the hill towns, but they ship in flour front Nebraska for $1.35 just as good. We raised nothing last year, and 1 worked out most all summer. I put in 55 acres of small grain, but owing to drought it did not come up till the first of October. We have a good supply of moisture to stait with this year, but seed grain is high and very few have money enough to buy it with. As for myself I have none and will have to work out and make a living, but will try to put in corn if /Van get good seed as it is veryCpoor in both the Dakotas this year. All well. Yours, H. H.. HAYES.

The “Child’s Welfare” movement has challenged the attention of thoughtful people everywhere. Motheis are natural supporters, and will find in Foley’s Honey and Tar .Compound a most valuable aid. Coughs and colds that unchecked lead to croup, brondhitis and pneumonia yield quickly to the healing and soothing qualities of Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound.—A. F. Lone.

Gordon’s Stock Co. In a Comedy Next.

“The Senator’© Daughter,” a four act comedy of Washington society life was given a presentation at the Ellis theatre last Saturday night by the Gordon Stock Company and pleased a good size*! house. The play was a most pleasing one* and the various characters of the drama were played with skill and truth to detail far beyond what is ordinarily seen. Although the piece tell© an interesting 'story there was no lack of good up-to-date comedy. The next play announced is a comedy “The Marriage of Mamma” which is said to contain more side splitting situations than any two comedies ever offered upon the local stage. The piece is advertised as the comedy of a hundred laughs and consequently it should meet with special favor here as our people are very fond of bright, laughable plays. The silver souvenir spoons will be given away next Saturday night also. Prices will be 25, 35 and 50 cents. -

Many Driven From Home. Every year, in many parts of “the country, thousands are driven from their homes by coughs and lung diseases. Friends and business are left behind for other climates, but this is costly and not always sure.

Throat and lung troubles find quick relief and health returns. Its help in coughs, colds, grip, croup, whoop-ing-cough and sore lungs make it a positive blessing, 50c and SI.OO. I rial bottle free.
