Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles, and still another for bones.
A correct diet will not only nuris b
particular part of the body, but it
will sus stain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, it's
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy
Millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel houyant and vigorous. You

The convention of the Wiscon-
sin Teachers association will be
held in Milwaukee next month,
and, according to the program
which is being prepared, Booker
T. Washington of the Tuskegee
Industrial institute will be the
principal attraction so far as
speakers are concerned. He will
talk about the industrial educa-
ton of the negro. Senator Stout,
of Menominee, who is said to be
the best posted man in the United
States on the subject of manual
training, will also speak. Miss
Margaret A. Haley, who led the
fight to enforce the collection of
taxes on the capital stock of cor
porations in Illinois, will tell the
teachers all>abOut it.

KenOSha,

The greatest excitement pre-
walls in Brassville, a suburb of
Kenosha. More than a dozen
people have been seized with
ptomaine poison, as a result of
eating cheese which had been
purchased from a small store in
the neighborhood. The first
cases of the poisoning appeared
several days ago, and the doctors
of the city have been kept busy
in the suburb since. AS yet no
deaths have been reported, but
several of the victims are in a
precarious condition. Those af-
fected are: Joseph Borkenhagen
and family of four, one daughter
being seriously i'll; A. E. Fergu-
son and family of four, all seri-
ously i'll; a small child of William
Barnes; two children of Mr.. and
Mrs Carmen Desimena, the
symptoms have been the same

The difference between straight
and curly hair is very apparent on
a microscopical examination. A
hair is hollow tube, and straight
hair is as sound as a reed, while a
curly hair is always fattened on
both sides and curls toward one of
the fiat sides and never toward the
edge. It is a curious and little
known fact that the hair of women
is coarser than that of men, as well
as thicker on the scalp. In an
average head of hair there are about
100000 individual hairs. The hair
seems to have a life of it's own in
dependent of that of the man, for
numerous instances are known of
the hair continuing to grow after
death.

WhaS He Mioht Do.

The custom of preserving the
business name OF a firm years after
the founders have passed away or
disappeared finds its reproof in a
story related by the New York Post.
A young man who was sent out to
canvass leading lawyers in a certain
interest entered the office of a firm
of great prominence and said:
81 should like to see Mr.. NJ,
mentioning the first name of the
firm.
every sorry, sir, but Mr.. M. has
been dead three years." was the an
swer.
"Well, in that case | should like
to see Mr.. N."-the second name of
the firm.
"Mr. N. retired from the firm
over a year ago." said the clerk,
with a smile.
Indeed; then may / see Mr.. 0. ?"
the last name of the three.
"Mr. o., replied the clerk, sail
ed last week for Europe and won't
be back for a month yet. Is there
anything can do for you?"
''There is" answered the can
vasser with the utmost suavity.
"Some day, when you have time,
you might bring the firm name up
to date"

TASTING OF LIQUORS.
A Good Deal of Humbug In the Expert
Palate Claim.

A Good Deal of Humbug In the Expert
Palate Claim.
Stories about the delicate s'taste"
of those who claim to be wine ex-
perts are always interesting. Re-
Gently we came across one in which
Goethe figures. At a small party
at the court Of Weimar the marshal
asked permission to submit name
less sample of wine. Accordingly
red wine was circulated, tasted
and much commended. Several of
the company pronounced it bur-
gundy, but could not agree as to the
special vintage or the year. Goethe
alone tasted and tasted again, shook
his head and, with a meditative air,
set his glass on the table
'FYour excellency appears to be of
different opinion" said the court
marshal. 'May l ask what name
you give to the wine ?"
"The wine," said the poet, ''is
quite unknown to me, but | do not
think that it is burgundy. |
should rather consider it a good
Jena wine that has been kept for
some time while in a madeira cask. "
"And so, in fact, it is" said the
court marshal.
There is a great deal of humbug
in this wine tasting and expert
palate" in liquors. We have seen
several men smacking their lips
over some "real old'' whisky from a
bottle labeled 1913 and discussing
what the effect of the aging had
been when the real facts were that
it was very ordinary whisky put in
to bottle labeled as above the
night before by some one who had
wanted to test the experts" Buff

Indian Names.

A station not very far from Pitts
burg on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has the good old English
name of Soho. In announcing it
there is no opportunity for the
brakeman to disguise the word, as
he is too apt to do with the names
of other places.
As train neared the town not
long ago the word was distinctly
shouted, and passenger was heard
to say to the man sharing his seat
ssHow many towns in this part of
the country have Indian names?
Just think of it-Soho, Mononga-
hela and Duquesne all near to-
gether.

Oshkosh.

The death of Charles w. Felker
has caused profound and general
sorrow in this community. Mr..
Felker having lived SO many
years and having been brought
into intimate and cordial contact
with so many of the residents of
the city and sections, had more
acquaintanceS and friends than
most men can boast of, and his
genial disposition, great kindness
of heart and quick wit and ability
as a raconteur and conversation
alist had served to endear him
to many. On all hands to-day
were heard expressions of regret
and many were the anecdotes
told of him in his various roles of
hunter, lawyer, yachtsman and
friend. Besides being a man of
great mental ability and force
Mr.. Felker was possessed of un
doubted courage and of great
physical strength, and in the
early days these qualities stood
him in good part in making his
way to the front.

Madeline Island.

The new church at Madeline,
which will replace the historic
structure burned last summer,
is nearly completed, Practically
all that remains to be done, is to
put in the seats. About the only
thing that will remind one of the
old church, is the bell. When
the old church burned last sum
mer, the bell melted and fell in a
mass at the bottom. The melted
mass weighed about 400 pounds.
This was dug out of the ruins
and sent to Pittsburg where 1876
pounds of bell metal was added
and a new bell weighing 535
pounds was made. The new bell,
therefore, is practically the same
old bell that for many years was
the only thing of the kind on
Madeline island. The new
church building will be much
finer structure than the old his
toric church. It will be about
38x60 feet in dimensions, but will
be great improvement in every
wav over the other huildinp Of
course it will not have the his
toric associations that clustered
around the famous building that
so many thousands have visited
in the past, but it is on the same
site as the original Marquette
chapel, and that in itself, will be
of interest to sightseers.-As

The Klondike was vaudeville

injured were connected with the
theater as performers. Most of
them lived at Hurley and Thomas
LeClaire was a brother of the
proprietor.
The fire started on the stage
and in a few minutes the entire
structure was in mass of
flames.
The theater building was quick
ly consumed and spread to ad-
joining structures. The Iron
wood, Mich, fire department was
called to the assistance of the
Hurley tiremen and only by the
hardest work was the town saved
from being wiped out. The
losses follow:
E. Leckie's KlOndike theater,

saloon, $4,000; Harrigan & Nc

The charred remains of six
men and one woman have been
recovered and search is being
made for the others.
The Klondike theatre burned
in July, 1887, when eleven women
lost their lives in a mass of flames.
