.'IN SOUlH DAKOTA
Dad" rUi-harde Proves l bu Claim
; , at Meade County at Age of , -
' Seventy-Eight.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug, 'TL-CSpeclal.)
Without doubt- the oldest homesteader in
South. Dakota and adjoining states Is "Dad'
Kichards, who la spending a . brief vacation
with his son, W. J. Richards, at White
Lake. '
He is nearly 78 years of age and reoently
proved up on a homestead 1n the White
Owl country, In Meade county, after resid
ing on the land continuously for a period of
more than two years. The farm to which
ne thus secured title ' is worthly nearly
$2,600, which proves that claim life also. Is
profitable to him.
So far as known no -other man of. his
years has had the grit to endure the hard
ships, of claim life alone as he has done
while perfecting title to his land. Since
returning to eastern South Dakota he has
stated that he found some pleasure In claim
life, notwithstanding the inconveniences
and discomfort'' which he frequently ex
perienced. The old man also has announced that he
Is too old to do much else than "hold
down" a claim and that he is planning on
going to Montana In the near future, where
he can. make entry on an additional 160
acres and secure title to It from the gov
ernment after residing upon It for. the
period required by law. ,. '

No other medicine for woman's Ills
has received such wide-spread and un

of cures of female ills as has Lydia K.
Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound.
For more than SO years It has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, ulceration, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
pt-riodlo pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, ana It is
unequalled for carrying women safely
througli th? iriod of change of life.
