GAS the Twig is Bent
the Trees Inclined"

How is it with the young people of
your household Are they saving
money! Have they learned to appre-
ciate the value of The dollar? Are YOU
endeavoring to instill into their minds
correct ideas concerning thrift and
economy? Are you seeking the oppor-
tunity to '.bend the twigp" Would you
like to listen to a plain suggestion?
If so, here it is:
Send the young folks to our bank
with the first spare dollar that comes
into their hands. The next dollar
should be treated in a like manner,
aud the practice SO continued until a
fixed habit of saving has been esta-
blished. A goodly bank account will
soon result; the young folks will get an
inkling of the ways of business, and,
being thus "inclined" are likely to
grow up into straight and thrifty man

Another New Factory?

Milwaukee papers recently brought
the information that the Stoltz Manu-
featuring company of Manitowoc,
which manufactures Christmas tree or
naments, and has practically monop-
oily on the product in the United States
will remove to Watertown. Failure to
meet with satisfactory responses on
the part of business men who would
not cooperate with them to have
Manitowoc made a port of entry so he
might pay his import duty there. is
said to have influenced Mr.. Stoltz to
move. The plant employs 25O hands.
Nothing definite appears to be
known here regarding the above mat
ter at this time. It is to be hoped,
however, that the company will locate
in our city, and thus help its growth
and prosperity.

Finds Harm in Drinking Water.

A paper read before the New York
County Medical association by pro-
fessor Of clinical medicine in the New
York Polytechnic medical school on the
subject Of water drinking has aroused
considerable discussion at the monthly
meeting of the members The abuses
of water drinking are committed by
every one," said the professor, .'in his
routine work. Usually no harm is
done, even though we fail to achieve
the results desired. But the contrary
is true in the not infrequent cases
where we add to the burdens of an
already taxed heart and circulation,
and where we thoughtlessly augmented
the EN- mbarassmeat of organs we are
striving to relieve. Most striking of
all is the abuse of water drinking in
chronic nephritis. Every drop of
water taken into the body means addi-
tional work for the heart

Will Erect Another
Large FIGURING Mill

The coming year promises to be an
unusually active one in Watertown in
the way of building. The latest acqui-
sition which is reported for our city
and which will enthusiastically to the
prosperity of the community is the
erection of another large Touring mill
by the Globe Milling Company, just
north of the present mill on Water
street. Work on the new building
will begin as soon. as the weather con-
dftions will permit. John Fraser, an
expert ,on mill wok, was here from
Milwaukee to investigate the matter.
The new mill will have capacity of
200 barrels daily and will be used ex-
clusively for the manufacture of the
company's famous white Daisy" and
other Uell-known brands of wheat
-four. The popularity of the Globe
Milling Co.'S brands has been growing
from year to year, until it was impossi-
BILE to supply the demand and hence
the erection of the new mill was made
necessary.
The present mill is in itself one of
the best equipped in the state, outside
of Milwaukee, and has capacity of
400 barrels per day. When the new
mill is com pleted, the old one will be
utilized for the exclusive manufacture
of rye -four
A special feature of the new mill is
that for the rapid grinding of grain
for feed and exchange of flour for the
farmers wheat. This will be great
convenience to farmers and result in
saving much valuable time. The new
mill will be 6Ox4O feet, four and half
stories high. 1t will have storage
capacity of 10000 bushels of grain.
An electric lighting plant will also be
put in.
The development of an industry of
thi. -. = 5 certainly beneficial to the
entirl-~- ,.tiiUy. The company has
now on its pay roll twenty men about
the mill and fifteen coopers. This
force will necessarily be increased
when the new mill is put in operation
