Perhaps nothing brings one as
much content, comfort, happiness
and pleasure as those conditions Of
easy, restful, resourceful and vel.
balanced mind and body, that make of
work pleasure and the daily life
happy and peaceful.

Gren; the business man, worried with
the press Of daily affairs, debts, ETC.,
cannot enjoy the peace and restful
repose and healthful nervous balance
unless they know how.
There is a way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely,
for the temporary stimulant and the
resulting depression is sure ruin to,
the nervous system, and the whole

rests upon stomach, nerves and mind.
Start with the stomach, that is the

The statements of the English pa

his visit to Denmark because of the
plans formed to unite Crete with
Greece and to appoint Prince George

However, the reason assigned for the
czar's decision is ridiculed, as it is
known that the czar is frightened on

In the wilds of South America many
rope bridges exist, and IN writing Of
them traveller, who published through
Messrs. Longmans 1.-The Great Noun
tains and Forests Of South America"
says: There being no trees here, such
bridges as were necessary were usual
ly constructed of couple of ropes
stretched across chasm, upon which
was spread a rough kind of mating
made of plant brushwood or sort of
rush. Such bridges swung about fear
fully and cracked under the foot as If
about to give way. Often held my
breath while passing such a bridge,
momentarily expecting the rotten con-
trivance to part in the middle. There
was plenty'6f evidence in the skeletons
of horses and mules on the rocks be-
low that accidents not infrequently oc-
CURED, but / was assured that not
many men were lost. which, of course,
was an exceedingly comforting assur-
ance, especially as I noticed that the
guides were careful to see that either
l or George was the first to cross
these COMPOUNDED structures. At one of
these places we saw on the rocks 300
feet below the skull and bones of two
men who had been lost about eight
years before"

Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of a supposed death shot strikes an at
titude, clasps his hand to his heart,
stiffens every joint and muscle,
breathes Historically and goes down
like a log toppled over from the end.
Another popular yet erroneous notion
is that men shot through the vitals
leap into the air and go down in dra-
matte attitude. Sometimes men are
found on the field in striking positions,
but often an examination shows that
the position was taken after the fall.
AS rule a man who is hit above the
hips sinks down. The slighter the
wound the more connection, for the
body instinctively resists, just as 1t
does when one slips or is pushed or col
hdes with some object. But wound
in a vital spot weakens the resistance
and men sink at once or reel and tum-
bic with very little self control.

that the Wisconsin blue book for 1908
will Re ready sor distribution within a
few days. The work of compilation
has been completed, the proof read and
the book is now being bound. This is
the first blue book that has been COM
piled by the state commissioner of labor
statistics as provided by the law passed

differs from books of other years in
that it is more complete and contains
in addition to usual information per-
tanning TO the various departments of
state government, some new and valu-
able matter concerning manufacturing
and agriculture. Some of the old fea,
lures have been revised and brought
down 10 date. A feature which will
be appreciated by those who make fire.

Women Have no influence IN
Politics.


Justice Julius Mayer of the Court OF
Special Sessions, who addressed the
New York State Woman's Republican
Association few days ago on How
Can Women do Good in Politics?' is en-
titled to a great deal of respect for tell
ing his audience that women had NO
political influence. 1t was precisely
the dose they needed. Here is this
body of women every campaign beg
ging money, getting up rallies and
tramping through the slums distribut-
ing party literature, and yet they do
not ask for the suffrage and do not
allow the subject to be discussed at
their meetings They are of about as
much consequence politically as band
of Chinese parading the streets with
lighted punksticks. The party would
be fully justified iu repudiating them,
and its leaders would render them a
service by speaking as plainly as Justice
MAYER. 1.-The men have made up their
minds on political questions" he said.
THE proper work for you is to seek to
influence the coming generations" In
other words, go home and talk to the
children; you are On the same level
with them"
Now. if these women believe that the
safety of the stage depends upon the
success of the Republican party, let
them leave politics to the men-who
can't do any worse than they already
have done-for a while longer and de-
vote their energies to secure the ballot.
They can then work for their party
with some advantage to it and some
dignity 10 themselves. Instead of put
tering around rs now, making them
selves A nuisance and a laughing stock
in their vain efforts TO Influence the
men. they can do their work among
those Of their own sex. On election
day they can 20 to the polls as the peer
of any American citizen, and no man
there. even the highest and mightiest,

5 From the WalIa Walla Union,
paper sent to the PILOT from the state
of Washington, we should judge that
the season there is about as far adj
advanced as in this section. We notice
from long article, about the crops,
that trees are not fully leaved out yet
and in many places they are having
frosty nights.
The Wausau Wochenblott had a very
serious time with its gas engine the
other day. 1t was caused by the break
ing of pin that held the crank shaft.
The engine as a result was rendered
worthless and Miss l4eona Hintze COM
positor was hit by piece of iron from
the engine and knocked insensible, she
was not seriously injured.
The large plant of the Scotield Lum-
Der company, at Superior, was entirely
destroyed by fire last Sunday morning
! 1t was estimated to be worth S75, 200
and was insured for $3.50, 600. The mill
had capacity of 100000 per day, and
there was so ,00O, 900 feet of logs on the
bank TO be sawed. Whether the mill
will be built up again is not known yet.
A dispatch from Washington says
that the bureau of forestry will this
year make study of forest fires and
attempt to provide remedy for their
prevention II. j. Tompkins, of the
bureau and corps of assistants have
already begun work in Wisconsin.
The states of Minnesota, New York and
Pennsylvania have efficient systems for
the prevention and control of these
fires. The present effort was started
lmainly through the loss of about
81, 900, 900 worth of timber in Oregon
and Washington last summer.
1t has been decided upon to put in
water wheel at the Alexander Stewart
Lumber company's saw mill and with
other machinery necessary, TO furnish
electricity to those in want of small
powers This is something Wausau
has needed for good many years
While our water works has been able
to keep many motors going in the past,
the plant has grown to such proper
tons, and with SO many motors and the
street sprinkling, etc, the power is get
ting to be very unsatisfactory and the
work to be greater than Il e pumps
at the station can well take care
of, so The new power comes just in the
nick of time aud will be great con-
venience in ON city.
