FOOD FOR THE SICK.

Anyone who has ever had the re-
sponsibility of caring for an invalid
realizes the fnesse frequently neces-
sary to get him to take the nourish-
ment required. One is prejudiced
against milk and declares he cannot
and will not take it. For such a
one an oyster tea is recommended,
which may be almost entirely OF
milk, the oysters furnishing the
fiavors and salts, which is about all it
possesses anyway. For the patient
who rebels against the sight of beef
tea unless overlooked, which causes it
to lose it's red color, or unless strain
ed, which takes away the brown
flakes, which are the best part of the
broth buy a red wine glass and give
him his beef tea in that.
Various custards can be made with
broths, especially chicken and beef,
used with eggs instead of sugar.
Sailed and chilled these are oftentimes
rendered very grateful to the patient
who wants something but don't know
ust what.

troduce two bills, one giving more
blue books to state officers and legis-
lators and the other for state loan
to Sturgeon Bay. The Mills bill COM
polling railway trains to make con-
nections at junction points went to
the railroad committee after an eX
PLANTATION by Mr.. Vandercook that
it was desirable to add some amend
ments that would really clothe the
state railroad commissioner with such
authority as would render the office
Of some practical value to the people.
The FAIR bill making an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to the northern state fair
was killed, while the Frost bill which
aims at the effective taxation of mort
cages went over till Wednesday on
motion of Mr. Eline, after Mr. Frost
had spoken in it's favor at some length
and quite fully explained it's provi-
siOns.
In the senate the first bill on the
calendar for passage, No. IS (McGilliy-
ray, 10 regulate the profession of

The bill passed, II to 8. Among the |
assembly bills concurred in were: Nos. |
164a (True) requiring county clerks |
to send blanks to treasurers; and |
375a (Grube), extending time for COM
pletion of sidewalks in certain cases.
Another food of protest came in
against the passage Of No. ia, the
Orion life insurance tax bill. The
most important report received was
that of the fish and game committee
which recommended for passage the
pill prohibiting spring shooting, or
making a closed season from April
o Sept l. The joint committee on
laims reported favorably on No. 355s,
$500 for a medal for
Prof. Babcock, and unfavorably on

The piano has been tuned to concert pitch especially for orches'ra work, which is half tone higher than the international or ordinary pitch. This will do away with the difficulty experienced heretofore in adjusting all the instruments SO far below their natural pitch and will give much finer results in harmony. All the members of the orchestra are very enthusiastic over their enterprise and are doing thorough work in preparing their pro gramme for the April entertainment.
