HOW CHIPPEWA REVIVED
Leslie Wilson Tells What Six
Live Business Men Did for q
HAS Been" Town.

Chippewa Falls is at the present
time enjoying the most healthful
business boom in its history, which we
attribute largely to the efforts of our
business mems organization. known as
the progressive league remarked
Leslie Wilson, wholesale grocer of
that city, while in Milwaukee attend
ing meeting of the directors of the
Wisconsin Wholesale GrocerS' associa-
tion. 'sThe town was for years an
important lumber town, but had be-
come rather dead-a sort Of has been
town until six business men formed
what we call our Progressive League.
They assessed every business man in
the CITY a certain sum per month for
two years, the money to be used by the
committee for the good of the town.
No one was allowed to ask any ques-
tions or to say what the committee
should do with the funds thus raised.
We secured in this way about 81, OO(

NATURES OWN CURE.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dangerous
Drussinf Of the Stomach.


Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully say
that remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes
four times a day. and during that
time every particle Of air taken into
the air passages and lungs is impreg-
mated with the germ killing and health
giving Hyemei. 1t is the only treat
ment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes per-
manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the throat and
nose but penetrates to the minutest
air cells in the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. 1t frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but sLO0,
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
John E. DAILY had so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser
who may be dissatisfied.

Hemlock Forests Die Out.

The trees of the great hemlock
forests of the Northern Wisconsin
which are supplying the stock of
lumbermen since the pine has been cut,
are dying this spring from some un-
known cause. Great bodies of that
species of wood, which is an evergreen
have turned yellow and will become
valueless. It is phenomenon never
before witnessed in this section. The
hemlock belt extends over the north
ern half of the state, and the same
conditions are noticeable everywhere.
The result will be great loss to
lumbermen.

NEW BRIDGE WORK is LET
ALDERMAN POWERS PROTEST,
BACKED BY e. T. ABBOTT,
PROVES OF NO AVAIL-LOCAL
COMPANY WINS.

Former County Surveyor e. T. Abb
man F. M. Powers yesterday after
noon in his fight against awarding
the contract for the iron superstruc-
ture Of the Thirty-second avenue N
bridge to the Minneapolis Steel and
Machinery company. The council
committee on roads and bridges, how
ever, went on record as favoring the
contract. It will not be executed
until the United States war depart
ment has approved the plans for the
bridge and given its consent to bridg-
ing the Mississippi river, which is
nominally a navigable stream.
Mr.. Abbott declared that the coun-
ell had made a mistake in rejecting
the first offer of the Modern Steel
Structural company to build the
bridge for about $4,000. This bid
now quoted by the Minneapolis COM
pany, which was $47,774. Mr.. Alb
bott insisted that this was too much
to pay for a bridge of that charac-
ter and urged that if the original
bid of the Modern company was not
available, the council should again
reject all bids and instruct the city
engineer TO CONSTRUCT Liz uiluSe ~
day labor.
Alderman Powers moved that all
bids be rejected and new ones be OBJ
tanned on the plans and specifications
prepared by c. A. P. Turner Of this
city. Mr.. Powers represented thai
several thousands Of dollars would DC
saved by adopting the plan proposed
but no one seconded the motion anc
the matter was dropped after 1t was
voted to give the contract to the Min
neapolis Steel and Machinery com

FIFTY VETS MUST
LEAVE THE HOME
NEW PENSION PLAN WILL RE
DUCE HOME INCOME.
Increased Federal Aid VIII Not Make
Up the Deficiency Caused by Loss of
Pension Money and Trustees Will
Not Make 1t Up, from the Relief
Fund.

About fifty inmates Of the soldiers
home will have to be dropped from
the rolls as result Of the new rule
adopted Yesterday BY which the trus;
tees comply with the congressional
act of April %.
Under the new rule the home will
receive larger share Of federal aid,
but the net income will be smaller by
at least $1,000 this year. Formerly
all the pension money in excess Of 81
Of the home. Now 1t must be used for
| the inmate himself, or his relatives,
| or kept In trust for him. Cutting off
| this source of income for the soldiers
home fund means considerable loss.
In orderto break even, the population
of the home will have to be reduced
from 800, the present figure, to about
$40.
The loss this year may be about
$4,000, according to the construction
taken by the national SOLDIERS home
board. The new law takes effect July
til July 4. If the three days under
the new law knocks out the federal
aid for the current quarter, that will
mean about $4,000 more loss to the
state.
The soldiers home fund could be

will not make the transfer. S. H

THINGS ABOUT THE BOYS.

The "old boys at the Soldiers

the Journal Newsboys' Band, and a
delightful evening was spent. A num-
Der of Minneapolis people who heard
that the band was going to the home
made a pilgrimage down to that beau

a large audiencefto enjoy the bands
music. In the early part Of the even

around the grounds.
