DISTRIBUTION OF WAR MONIES.
Why They Went Into General and Not
Trust Fund

MADISON, Wis, Oct 2O.-In re-
spouse to an inquiry, Attorney General
Sturdevant has written Otto Reinbold
of Chiffon letter explaining why, in
his opinion, the money received by Wis
consin from the federal government for
war claims was turned into the general
fund instead of the trust fund
He says the money was not originally
borrowed from the trust funds, but was
raised on bonds issued by the state.
The war refund from the general gov
eminent was covered into the general
fund of the state in accordance with an
opinion issued by the governor at the
time the money was received.
The Democratic candidate for governor
Is charging that the money ought to
have been placed in the trust funds and
that the Republican administration was
grossly in error to place it in the general
fund.
Money was furnished by the state to
the government to pay it's part of the
expenses of carrying on the war of the
rebellion. The total Indebtedness is
S2.251 900.

WHERE THE HIDES GO.
SHOE MEN USE THEM UP IN A WAY
THAT is APPALLING.
MAYER FACTORY OF MILWAUKEE,
USES 415,612 ANNUALLY.
Steers, Cows, Calves, Goats, Horses, Sheep
and Kangaroos Contribute to One of
the Greatest Industries on Earth.

In the mad whirl of business, people
rarely pause long enough to consider the
little things of life and how closely they
are identified with the greater ones
how inseparable, in fact they are, from
and how essential to them. Take for
instance the shoe business-did ever any
. one ponder long enough to realize the
wealth of actual energy and animal life
expended in the production OF footwear
for the human race.
As an example, take the Mayer Boot
& Shoe Company, n Milwaukee concern
that in it's three hundred working days
has consumed no less than 415,612 hides
of all kinds during the past twelve
months.
Here then we have the hides Of GO29S
steers, 81 1853 cows, 55.704 calves, 1885,
$40 goats, 67,599 sheep, 1923 horses,
and 1,479 kangaroos, all consumed and
distributed by the great Mayer factory
within the period of a year. Stand these
animals in a straight line and they
would cover a distance of 351 miles,
nearly one sixtieth OF the earth's cir
conference. To bring this livestock to
its final point of destination, required no
less than 5000, 26 foot cars, which
strung together would cover over 10
miles of railroad track. 1t takes the
! hides of nearly 1900 animals daily to
supply the demands of this monster shoe
enterprise and were all of them spread
out at one time. it would require an
area of over 100000 square feet to
accommodate them.
Nearly 1000 skilled artisans are en-
ployed by the Mayer Company the year
round making the Honorbit shoe for
men, Western Lady for women, and the
, celebrated Martha Washington comfort
shoes; also school shoes that wear like
iron and work shoes for all classes and
purposes. The total tai capacity OF the
day. The equipment of this factory is
as thoroughly modern. and up-to-date as
money and experience can make it. An
other decidedly favorable feature is that
of location, which is in the greatest
leather market in the world, thus ena-
bling the company to secure frst-chOice
on products consumed. The uniformly ex-
cellent quality of all shoes turned out by
the Mayer factory is largely attributed
to this fact.

When this state is reached. to resort
to stimulants is like whipping tired
horse with a big load. Every addition

Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestibie food
and take ON Grape-Nuts-light, easily

no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.

Summering Forced Azaleas.

Keep your azaleas in light place,
until all danger of frost is past, when
they may be put out of doors. They
are easily injured by too much or too
little water; therefore see that the soil
is always moist, never let it get dry, nor
water-logged. Put the plants out of
doors, when danger of frost is past.
Better plunge them in the rim of the
pot in well-drained soil or coal ashes.
This will keep the pots cool, preventing
evaporation of water from them. Put
them where they can have the early
morning and late afternoon sun, but are
shaded during the midday. Syringe the
foliage late each afternoon, and see that
the under sides of the leaves are hit
by the water, in order to dislodge the red
spiders and thrips, which will do
great deal OF harm if not checked.-Gar-
den Magazine.
