NEW RATE BILL OUT
WISCONSIN SENATE BRINGS UP
COMPOSITE MEASURE.
HAS A STRONG OPPOSITION
Because of En1nity Toward Latest
Document, It Is Probable That
Another Will Be Ushered In
Other Legislative News.
Especial correspondence.l


Madison, Wis, May 8.-The senate
committee on railroads, after a pro-
longed session has reached an agree
ment on the rate commission bill and
the bill has been reported unanimously
to the upper house solons. The new
measure. its trainers claim, is more of
a composite bill than the views of any
particular faction, and, it is declared,
many concessions have been made by
both sides in the controversy, in order
that harmony might be maintained.
The measure reported provides for an
appointive commission subject to the
advice and consent of the senate, the
appointments to be made as soon as the
bill becomes a law. Rates are not to go
into effect until 20 days after they are
fixed. and the operation of the rates, if
deemed unjust and unreasonable by the
carriers, can be stayed by Injunction.
The rates in force during the year 1905
are adopted as the legal or maximum
rates, no date being specified. The
classifications of the Western associa-
ton are adopted There are many
solons. however, who do not take to
the new bill in the least, and these will
undoubtedly hatch out a measure of
their own and put it up in opposition
to the committee document. Senator
Whitehead leads the opposers to the
new measure and his chief contention
is for purely elective commission. j.

OF claims has done the best it could, the
fact is that none of the large appropri
alton bills are ready to be passed upon
by the legislature. Daily sessions OF
the committee are being held and will
continue during the remainder of the
week, in order to finish consideration
and hearings. 1t is claimed that prog
ress has been unusually slow. Com
plant is argued against the entire sys-
tenn, it being contended that only men,
bers of the claims committee have any
knowledge regarding the fiscal matters
of the state, and that no opportunity is
given the members to arrive at an intel
hgent conclusion regarding the amounts
needed for the various state institutions,
or concerning expenditures generally
During the last few days of the session
the appropriation bills are rushed out of
the committee, placed on the calendars,
and in the closing days of house clean
ing no opportunity whatever adequate
to the Importance of these matters is
given the members for careful consid-

mittee endeavors to fit the appropria-

mate demands are cut while unreason-
able expenditures are sometimes au-
thorized.

the king took out his handkerchief and

and the king rose and offered toast to
America and everybody in it, and they
swallered it. and dad said there was

all the people of Great Britain, including
the Irish, and the king who loved them.

and struck on his golf pants, and dad
said: Gel, Emery, Fave broken my

CORN BREAD IN AMERICA.
Not So Common an Article of Food
Nowadays as It Was Fifty
Years Ago.

Our exports of corn to European
countries have risen from 24,00O,O 900
bushels in 1883 to about 100000, 900
bushels at the present time, and to-day
Belgium at least is using more Indian
corn per capita as food than the United
States, in which it is a great native
cereal, says the Birmingham Age
Herald. In Belgium the bakeries put
about 25 per cent. of corn flour in the
bread they make, and such bread is read
lily sold lower than wheat or rye loaVes.
1t is considered more nutritious ana
more easily digestible. In Germany the
favorite loaf consists of one-third corn
and two-thirds rye, and tive-pound
loaf thus made is sold at saving OF
about 25 per cent.
The change in the European bread
supply was started by CD. Murphy, VINO
was sent abroad as a commissioner by
the department of agriculture. He be-
gan the propaganda in 1883, and he
maintained it until the use Of corn as
food was we'll started and even estab-
lished. and to-day Europeans are more
leans themselves. Mr.. Murphy asserts
that both in Belgium and Ireland the
per CAPITA consumption of corn as hui
man food is higher than it is in the
United States. The value of the In
dian corn as food is not appreciated in
this country. Years ago children
thriyed and grew strong through the
consumption of johnny cake, ash cake,
hominy and pudding, but in recent
wears cornmeal has fallen into COM
narrative disuse, although it is cheaper.
more wholesome and more digestlble
than wheat -four The preparation OF
corn for the table can be more varied
tuan that of wheat, and yet for some
reason Indian corn is not freely used.
Mr.. Murphy says the consumption OF
American corn in crowded Belgium IS
higher than it is in this country. 1t is
difficult to account for the dislike OF this
country for corn in it's various forms.
We grow it, and we should not look
with an unfavorable eye on our own
excellent and abundant product
The subject deserves careful attention,
with view to reinstatement OF Amer
lean corn to the place it held on the
tables of our ancestors. Corn was not
a rejected article of food a century ago.
and it was freely used as late as 50
years ago. We may have progressed
backward in this matter. Mr.. Murphy
thinks we have.

with other cab drivers in sign language
about US, for every driver kept along
with us, loo hed at us and laughed, as
though we were a wild west show.
On the way to the kings residence it
was all l could do to keep dad braced up
to so through the ordeal. He was brave
enough before we got the invitation,
and told what he was going to say to the
king, and you would think he wasn't
afraid of anybody, but when we got near
er to the house, and dad thought of CO.
ing up to the throne, and seeing king
in all his glory, surrounded by his hun
dreds of lords and dukes and things,
crown on his head, and an ermine cloak
trimmed with red velvet, and a siX-Quart
milk pan full of diamonds, some of them
as big as a chunk of alum, dad weakened
and wanted to give the whole thing up
and go to a matinee, but wouldn't have
it. and told him if he didn't get into
the king row now that l would shake
him right there in London and start il
business as a Claude Duval highway
man and hold up stage coaches. and be
hung on Tyburn Tree, as | used to read
about in my history of Sixteen-String
Jack and other English highwaymen.
Dad didn't want to see the family dis
graced, so he let the cab man drive on,
but he said if we got out of this visit to
royalty alive. it was the last tommyrot
he would indulge me in.
Well, old man, it is like having an OPP
Grafton for appendicitis, you feel better
when you come out from under the infu-
ence of the chloroform, and the doctor
shows you what they took out of you
and you feel that you are going to live
unless you grow another vermiform
appendix. We were driven into a sort
of Central park, and up to building

Borneo, and sword swallowers, the
kings pictures were about war, and
women without much clothes on from
the belt up. Gosh, but some of those pic
lures made you think you could hear the
roar of battle and smell gun powder, and
dad acted as though he wanted to git
right down on the marble floor and dig
a rifle pit big enough to git into.
They walked us around like they do

cret sc ciety, only they didn't sing, Here

fashionable Plaids.

The shepherds plaids, which is the
correct name for +wo-colored checks
or plaids, are being shown in all mate
rails. BY the way, does every one
know why they are called shepherds
plaids? In the Highlands every fight
ing man formerly wore the plaid OF his
clan. as he would paint the arms or
his house on his belongings, and for
the same reason, that few could read
his name even il he was able to write
it. The simple folk who belonged 70
the clan only as servitors or depend
ents did not wear the clan-plaid. Per-
haps they could not afford to own II.
At all events, they wore the simple
two-color plaid which to present-day
taste is prettier than the startling
combinations of the chiefs of old.

THE OLIVE OIL CURE.
A Pure Article Said to Be Best of Rem.
edies for Nervous Folk and De-
clared Fine Beautifier.

In recent book very firm believer
in the health-giving properties of food
formulates the opinion that cures may
be effected by means of food, just as
efficiently, if not more SO, than by
means of drugs.
The germ of this idea we have all
had in our minds for long enough. The
majority of us know that apples, eaten
raw or cooked, but particularly raw,
are of the very greatest medicinal
aid to those who lead sedentary lives,
and especially to brain workers. Incl
dentally. they are the beauty seekers
favorite fruit, giving color to the COM
plexion and brilliancy to the eyes sim
ply as result of their influence upon
the digestion.
There is now an Apple league, the
members of which pledge themselves
to eat at least two apples day. 1t
would be interesting to know whether
the old adage, can apple day keeps
the doctor away" finds fulfillment In
the case of the members of this league.
Oranges are considered excellent as a
preventive of influenza. and carrots
eaten very slowly have been recon-
mended and found efficacious as clear
ers of the complexion.
Sufferers from nerve disorders should
certainly try the olive-oil cure. which
is most highly recommended to those
who have learned abroad to appreciate
the addition of oil to salads The very
best and purest olive oil must be OBJ
tanned, and one teaspoonful three times
day is the dose IL the victim of neu-
ralgia. anaemia or disordered nerves
is in a hurry to be cured. Otherwise
It is recommended that che oil taste
should be cultivated by the addition or
very little to the salad taken once or
twice day, to which a dash of vinegar
may be added, so that the disagreeable
taste of the oil may be almost COM
pletely disguised. The patient should
gradually lessen the vinegar and in
crease the oil until it is so well liked
that it can be taken raw. 1t is claimed
for olive oil, just as 1t is for apples,
that 1t keeps the liver in good work
ing order, thus preventing rheumatism.
rendering the complexion healthy and
clear and also making the hair grow
glossy and abundant.

Governor vetoes Exemption.

Gov. La Toilette has vetoed the meas
ure reducing wage exemptions from $50
to $50 monthly, passed in the legislature
recently. The measure, its opposition
declares, has been passed expressly for
the benefit of "lOan sharks" and the
presence of money lenders, cheap law
yers and constables when the fight on
the measure was in progress, lends color
to their charges. That this bill is dead
issue is said to be certainty, as it
passed both houses by bare majority,
and therefore cannot be fioated above
the governors veto. The governor de-
clares that the bill is not in harmony
with the constitutional provision sane
tioning wholesale exemption laws. He
says it would not be good public policy
to allow the bill to become law, as it
might operate to the great hardship Of
the wage earners, many of whom, being
propertyless, could not avail themselves
of homestead exemption laws or other
protection that would prevent them
from becoming dependents upon So
ciety.
