LYMAN COUNTY EXTENSION.
Tho Chicago, Mllwaukeo & St. Paul
Railway has decided upon an exten
sion of its lino from Chamberlain
west through Lyman County, opening
up a region of cheap lands, rich in
agricultural resources, and in which
thero Is already much deeded land,
also a largo acrcago that may bo had
under tho homestead law. Lyman
County Is In tho southern part of
South Dakota, adjoining tho Rosebud
Indian Reservation on tho north.
Tho soil of Lyman County is ono of
tho richest in tho state. It has pro
duced corn of nn excellent quality,
having taken first prize at tho Mitch
ell Corn Palaco during several of tho
past exhibits. It is well adapted to
tho growth of wheat, oats, barley,
speltz, and other small grains. Land
is selling now at tho rato of from $5
to $12 an acre, and as soon as the
railway extension is mado it Is safe
to say that such lands will incrcaso in
valuo from 100 to 200 por cent.
All that Lyman County has lacked
heretofore has been ability to get
rrodcts across tho Missouri river to
markets. Tho extension of tho Chi
cago, Mllwaukeo & St. Paul Railway
will solve that problem and will make
It ono of tho richest sections In tho
West.

How I Suffered with Itching and
Bleeding Eczema Until Cured
by Cuticura.
"No tonguo can toll how I suffered
for five years with a terribly painful,
itching, and bleeding eczema, my
body and face being covered with
sores. Never In my llfo did I experi
ence such awful suffering, and I
longed for death, which I felt was
near. I had tried doctors and medi
cines without success, but my mother
insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt
better after tho first bath with Cuti
cura Sonp and one application of Cuti
cura Ointment, and was soon entirely
well. (Signed) Mrs. A. Etson, Bello

Every housekeeper should know
that it they will buy Deflnaco Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
tflll save not only time, because it
never sticks to tho iron, but because
each papkage contains 16 oz. ono full
pound whllo all other Cold Water
Starches aro put up in 4-pound pack
ages, and tho price is tho same, 10
cents. ' Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to soil you
a 12-oz. packago it is because ho ha3
a slock on hand which ho wishes to
dispose of before ho puts in Defiance.
Ho knows that Defiance Starch has
