MAKES DEMANDS ON WARDEN
Wants 500 for Nets Seized When
Illegal Fishermen Were Arrested.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Oct 13.-[Spe-
cial. SPECIAL Game Warden Carpenter
has received letter from Attorney DELL
rich of Oshkosh making a demand for
500, which he claims was the valuation
of the nets belonging to Daemel, an al
legged illegal fisherman, arrested recently
and fined. The attorney places the valu-
alton of the nets at $40 each and asks
damages for ten of them. The nets were
captured on the night of September IA.
when one of the largest hauls ever re-
ported on Lake Winnebago was made in
the vicinity of Stockbridge. The nets in
question were ones which were not in use
but being dried on shore. They are now
being held at the county Jail awaiting
word from the state game warden. All
of the nets taken from the lake were
burned at the time, but there was a uues-
ton as to whether the game warden
could destroy nets not in use at the time
a raid was made and they were held for
that reason. Attorney Oellrich states in
his letter that should the warden fail to
turn over the nets a damage suit will

Organized labor has reached such a stage
that anything affecting a particular branch

1t Is exactly the same way with the diff
ferent organs Of the human body. Work
too hard, eat too much, drink too much, ex-

way, and the liver quits work.
Then the bowels become constipated and
the stomach goes on strike. The heart is
affected, the brain follows suit, and every
part of the body Is dragged into the trouble.
The only way out of it is to go at the
source of all this-the liver. Square your
self with the liver and all will get back to
regular natural work.

right with the liver. They perfume the

a Nj others Advice to Mothers.

Keep your children busy at some
wholesome work or play, and this is
more to the young mind than long
hOmilies on vice, which only tend to
direct their attention to it. By occupy
ing their time every minute of the day
they win be more thoroughly helped
and cleansed than would be possible in
any other manner.
The majority of parents do not re-
aliZe the importance of the duty laid
upon them or else they are too lazy or
incapable to attend to it. The first
duty of the rich is to be industrious
and to inculcate habits of industry in
their children. If they are taught to
keep constantly busy in some useful
and ennobling employment, the
chances of their evolution into honor
able men, and women are a million
times increased.
The making OF collections and the
hard study Of almost any branch of
natural history are likely to interest
children. The making of machines.
the intricacies of music, the manage
ment of printing press, are all useful
in keeping the young mind occupied in
a wholesome, healthy manner.

some USEFUL INFORMATION
Hints for the Economical wearer OF Kid
Gloves to Profit BY.


Economy in all things is often over
looked, and if only more consideration
were given to this subject quite a con-
siderable sum of money might be saved
annually. The careless manner in
which a large number of ladies treat
their gloves is an instance in point
and perhaps the following hints may
serve to show how the reasonable care
of kid gloves would result in reduc-
ton of expenditures
In the first place, it may be pointed
out that rough handling is specially
disastrous to kid gloves, and it very
often happens that a new pair is split
and ruined by jerking them on in
careless fashion. Always put on a
new pair of kid gloves for the first
time long enough before they are to be
worn to allow in due elaboration IN
the task. When pair of fine gloves
are bought the purchaser should insist
that they be fitted on in the shop;
then if there are any flaws they will be
detected before the goYes are paid for
and taken away.
In putting on glove be careful to
get each finger straight. Coax each
one on by rubbing gently with the
thumb and first finger until the fingers
are down to the very ends.
In taking the gloves off turn the
wrist over the fingers and take hold Of
the ends of the fingers through the
wrist. 1t wears a glove out badly to
pull 1t off by catching hold of the
finger tips. Pull the glove into shape
and lay aside carefully. Silk should
be kept TO match each shade, and
gloves should be mended as soon as a
break appears, for the old proverb "A
stitch in time saves nine" is especially
appropriate to these articles of attire.
Glove mending is delicate work, which
requires both skill and dexterity, and
when we'll done pays admirably for the
pains taken. Glove powder should

Buttoning gloves should never be
done in a hurry. The wrist should be
carefully and gently pulled straight,
and the buttons insinuated gently into
the holes. Use a glove buttoner al
ways it ruins both the buttonholes
and the finger tips to button them
without
After purchasing a new pair Of
gloves always sew the buttons on be-
for wearing them. The annoyance of
having the buttons drop off will then
be ayerted. -Womanss Life.
