about young Ontario boy, and 1t is to
the effect that he has become King
among the South Sea islanders. His
name is Thomas Darling and he Is son
of a small farmer at Sparta. Ontario. 1t
seems that he had fancy for going
about without any clothes on, although
sane and rational upon every other sub
ject.

account of his queer antics about cloth

come a virtual King among the South

REALM or COOKS

BY PAUL PRY.

of his investigation Of what has come to
be known as Fletcherism. 1t is said that
DR.. Higgins was in very poor health and
had run the course of consultation with
his professional colleagues, with no per-
manent relief. when Horace Fletcher ar
rived at Cambridge to submit himself to
careful physiological examination under
the direction of Sir Michael Foster DR..
Higgins volunteered as a check subject
in the experiments and was completely
cured. DIR. Higgins has termed his vol
ume "EIumanieulture, and while this
may sound abstract and meaningless yet
the book is most interesting to the lay
man as we'll as professional reader. 1t Is
a new study of the first three inches of
the alimentary canal of man, to sum the
text up in a few words. In the first
chapter the author gives an outline OF
"Fletcherism" and what It is. Mr..
Fletcher was in very poor health and
was refused by the insurance companies.
"He happened at this time to be occu-
pied with some business which necessi-
tated a good deal of tedious waiting at
Chicago in midsummer when most of
his acquaintance were absent from the
city, and to help to spin out the day
he used TO get through his meals as
slowly and deliberately as he could. He
noticed a very curious effect from this
weight decreased. and his health became
decidedly improved"
Mr.. Fletcher sums UP his experiments
and discoveries of "aptitudes' by saying;
IF you eat only when you have earned
appetite. masticate your food thoroughly
and take great care to eat only what
appetite approves, the rest will take care
of Itself"
The author has called the mastcating
division of the animal kingdom the polto-
phagic. and the demonstrating the
psomophagic. In giving directions for the
practice of poltophagy, which means pri-
marily mastication and insalivatlon, he
writes: MIR. Gladstone. 1t must be re-
membered, attributed his strength and
endurance to masticating his food, 1t was
said. thirty to thirty-five times; as
matter of fact. when an interested in
quirer counted the number of the great
statesman's jaw movements in connec-
ton with each mouthful, from the
strangers gallery at a public dinner at
Cambridge, he found the number was
usually as many as sixty or seventy"
The author covers very fully in detail
his subject. It is written in a clear and
concise style with the use Of very few
technical terms and those very explicitly
explained

Shall We Permit Canada Thistle to Take
Our Farmsl

There is question that the farmers
of Vernon county. and might say the
state of Wisconsin, must answer sooner
or later. II we let this pest have free
play, making its sure and steady ad-
vance as in the past, We say in Fact:
Let it take our farms for all We care. "
If we say mo, 1t must not take them, =
then il means action, quick and prompt
Farmers must stand together to project
their property against the invading foe.
This is my view of this question.
Twas in hopes that might be a little
pessimistic or cranky on this question;
so wrote Prof. L p. Sandsten of the
experiment station a laan whom /
know to be both level headed and also,
on account of his profession, an author
ity on such questions Bnt am sorry TO
say that he seems to share my opinion
as to the seriousness OF this subject. So
for the benefit of the farmers | give his
answer to me in full. Understand, with
his permission | know some will say
There is no great danger yet there is
bat little of the weed in our section
But if we must once take up arms

PROFESSOR sANpsTEN's LETTER
Mr. r r. Beutson, viroqus, Wis.

Mr. r It. Bentson, Viroqus, Wis.
NY DEAR Mr., BENTSoN; Your favor
Of Nav 25th received during my absence,
hence this delay. read your letter
Canada Thistle" with much interest.
You are entirely right in your proposi-
tions. The weed law as 1t Is enforced
at the present is practically worthless;
mainly heeauseit is NOT enforced. Your
section of the state Is not so badly CT as
ia the Door peninsula. which resembles
a perfect thistle field, with pieces of
thistle fiying all over the peninsula. and
there Ia not one-duarter of 5fIe peninsula
that is NOT infested with it. 1t is impos-
sible TO eradicate this pest without a
concert of action by all the farmers in
the community, as q single piece OF land
with thistles produces enough seed to IN
fest whole neighborhood. Cutting the
thistle off before it goes into Hover is
absolutely necessary to stop Its further
snread though this win not eliminate
the rlant We have found that where
thistle tons are cut and land cultivated,
IL can be controlled. This is one of the
phases in agriculture which the expert
ment station is powerless to control,
since IL cannot control the land or a crop
grown thereon. II needs a farmers Or
ganjz ,tion and an ample law with heavy
fines for permitting thistle TO flower on
ones farm. 1t is possible that such weed
law can be introduced and carried, but
it always falls back on the county OIL
GERS - enforce such law, and am frank
to say thatI have seen few instances in
which county officers would enfore the
weed law due. perhaps to the fact that
they are very much against the timing OF
a neighbor, q friend or political ally
| think, for the most efficient work and
enforcement of the weed law that there
ought to be a state official who would
see to the enforcement without fear or
favor from anyone 1t is, as You say,
useless for the individual farmer TO light
the pest single handed 30 long "a his
neighpor permits the plant to grow.
This is true with all weeds, and at the
present our weed law is practically
desd.letter
am very glad to have received your
letter, ana trust that you will do some
thing to induce your member OF the as
sembiy TO introduce such bill. The inia'
tive in such instance should come from
the farmer, or those directly interested
in the weed question.

Relief for Storm Swept Region.

In Viroqua there has been disposition,
but no active effort put forth to assist
the citizens who suffered such heavy
financial losses in the late disaster in
northwestern Vernon and southwestern
Lacrosse counties. Sheriff Ward, " no
passed over the stricken territory, re-
turned with the belief that aid should
be given. The La Crosse papers state
that the neighbors Of the unfortunate
farmers announce their willingness to
alleviate any ysuffering which may be re-
ported among them who lost their
homes and farm buildings in the storm.
AS result of this announcement Ii is
extremely Improbable that there will be
any organized effort to raise money for
the homeless in Lacrosse. A gentleman
reported to the authorities that there
are four families in actual want, and
perhaps as many more that will re.
quire financial loans to assist them in re
building their homes.
