SURVEYING WATER POWER
Wisconsin Valley Improvement
Company Will Determine Horse
Power and Extent of Fall.

Surveys of all the water powers
along the Wisconsin river are now be-
ing made at the instigation Of the
Wisconsin Valley Improvement COM
pany, to determine the amount Of fall
and the nominal horse power de-
yeloped at each water power between
Portage and Eagle River. This is
being done principally to determine the
amount of stock in the Wisconsin
Valley Improvement association, to
which each water power owner will
be distributed on a pro rata basis,
each owner being permitted TO take
stock according TO the size of his
water power.
In pursuing this work Engineer
Brooks, of TomahaWk, has found it
necessary to correct the figures Of
some previous surveys and has made
discoveries which make it imperative
that another survey be taken if it is
desired to ascertain accurately the
aggregate fall of the river between
here and the headwaters of the river,
which work will undoubtedly be un-
dertaken later on, but is notnecessary
for the purposes which this survey is
now being made.

"WhISKEY" COLD CURES.
Danger of Using Alcoholic Mixtures of
Coal Tar Tablets.

Laying aside all moral objections
against filling up the system with
whiskey or drugs because one has a
cough or cold, the dangerous physical
effects should be sufficient to keep one
from using these strong medicines.
A thoroughly scientific way to treat
cough and cold as well as a sensible
method is TO breathe Hyomei through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit. The first breath of
itshealing medication relieves the irri-
tation, and its continued use soon
effects a thorough cure.
The best people in Grand Rapids al
ways keep Hyomei in the house during
the winter months, and at the first
symptoms of cold or bronchial
troubles, use the remedy, and prevent
serious and lasting illness. The gaur-
antee that Wood County Drug Co.
give with every Hyomei outfit should
convince you of its curative powers.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.00. extra bottles if needed, SOC, and
Wood County Drug Co. guarantee to
refund the money if it does not give
