BUDS And FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paines Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without then
pratte and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twltch-
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vlgor'
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
pHcated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong
and rugged as they should be, try the health

Warning To The Public

| desire to warn the citizens OF
/ Wisconsin against a great many
tire insurance companies that are
transacting business in the state
without any authority and in direct
violation of the law.
The Department of Insurance re-
celves inquiries nearly every day
about companies that are not hcens-
ed to transact business in Wisconsin.
Any company that is willing to
defy and evade the laws of this
state cannot be trusted to settle its
claims. Furthermore, policy
holder having a claim against one
of those wild cat companies would
be compelled to bring suit against
the company in the state in which
it is organized in order to recover
his claim, and the chances are that
he could collect nothing from the
company.
The laws of Wisconsin provide
that any person representing un-
authorized companies in this state,
is liable to the insured in case of
loss and the company refuses to pay
it. In most cases, however, wild
cat companies cannot secure respOn-
sible people to represent them,
therefore, this law does not protect
the insured, for as rule, persons
representing wild cat companies are
irresponsible and judgment
against them is worthless.
During the past six months ]
have heard of the following com
panies transacting business in this
state without license:
American Trust and Insurance
Co., of Illinois, American Under
writers of Illinois, Commonwealth
Insurance Co., Illinois, Common
wealth Savings and Insurance Co.,
of Virginia, Great Northern Insur-
ance Co., of Illinois, Great Western
Underwriters of Illinois, Mercantile
Fire Insurance Co., of Illinois,
National Insurance and Investment
Co of Delaware, Northern Fire In
surance Co., Of Illinois.
These companies have no stand
ing in their own states and are de-
frauding this state Of taxes and fees
of which this Department has col
lected, during the past six months.
$4,000 from duly authorized com
panies. 1t is an injustice to author
lied companies to permit wild cal
companies to transact business in
the state, and with view OF ellm1n-
ating wild cat insurance, I appeal tc
the public to investigate their IN
surance policies and ascertain If the
companies are authorized to transact
business in Wisconsin, by calling on
their agent and requesting him tc
show his certificate of authority tc
represent the company, unless they
are positive the agent has such
authority. Furthermore, a policy
holder accepting insurance in wild
cat companies is liable to the city.
village or town maintaining a re-
gularly organized fire department
for the taxes due them for the
maintenance of such department,
and is guilty of violating the laws
of Wisconsin if the tax is not paid
annually to the treasurer of the
city, village or town. See section
1926, Wisconsin Statutes Of 1898, as
amended by chapter 30, laws OF
1899. Yours truly,

Tuberculosis continues to lead
in the list of diseases contributing to
the death rate in Wisconsin. The
report of the State Board of Health
Just issued shows the cause of death
in 1902 in their order were as fol-
lows: tuberculosis, pneumonia,
organic heart disease, accidents,
kidney disease, CASTRO enteritis in
infants, cancer, typhoidcerebral
congestion hemorrhage, diptheria.
Tuberculosis leads with an average
of 11.23 per cent. of all deaths, or
one in every $50 deaths.
Hereafter students who desire
to enter the University from the
high schools and other preparatory
institutions of learning must present
higher credentials than in the past.
The University reported to the
board of regents in favor Of merg-
ing the present five courses in the
college of letters and science into
one course and to give for the COM
pletion of it the one degree OF
bachelor of arts, being the highest
degree now awarded for anything
less the post graduate work The
change is of great interest to all the
preparatory schools as it will neces-
state the changes of the course con-
siderably SO as to prepare the
students for entrance into the Uni
versity. Many of the leading col
leges and Universities of the coun-
try have preceded Wisconsin in
making the change and the move
ment here was in a sense merely
keeping in line with what the large
institutions are doing.

During the Indian mutiny. says a
London journal, it was sometimes in
battle almost impossible to tell our
loyal native allies from the revolted
enemy. At the relief of Lucknow Pri-
vate Howell was near Il loyal native
regiment that had. through too great
impetuosity and misconception of or
ders, got to position where 1t was
mistaken for the enemy. and the whole
advance of the British army, amid the
smoke, poured into 1t an awful fire,
killing great numbers of men. At this
moment Howell. who saw that the men
exposed were paralyZed with aston
ishment and fear, rushed forward some
thirty yards In advance of their line
and, throwing up his left hand warn
ingly, waved his helmet at the point
of his musket with his right Hun
dreds of bullets from his own COM
rades whizzed past him. two Of them

deed served his purpose. for the Brit
ish officers saw what was intended.
No sooner had the cease fire. sound
ed than the men, to be the moment aft
er again in the throes of battle, sent
up magnificent cheer for Howell.

Maeready's Quickness.

Brander Matthews in a lecture on the
drama told of an incident showing the
rare presence Of mind of William
Charles Macready. According to Mr..
Matthews, he got the story from an old
man who saw Macready far back in
the fOrties.
In shipboard scene the actor paced
the deck while the canvas representing
the sea was kept in motion by the
walking beneath of men with half bent
bodies. The cloth had been worn to
thinness by dint of much use. When
Macready came to the most impas
stoned part of his mOnologue and the
waves were rising higher and higher
the audience was astounded to see a
red head pop up through the crest of a
wave. The actor saw it, too, and for a
moment he looked as IL he were dis
concerted, but it was only for a mo-
ment. Raising his voice, he shouted:
"Man overboardr'
And this made the people cheer and
praise Maeready all the more.
