TRUTHFUL MINORS WANTED
The Purpose of a Law Desired
by Saloon Keepers Of Wiscon.
Gin

An effort will be made to have in
troduced in the state legislature this
term measure which will in some
particulars protect the saloonmen in
cases where minors misrepreSent their
age. There have been a number of
cases OF that kind, the saloonmen be-
ing charged with selling liquor to
minors and when the case came to
trial the assertion was made by the
defendant that the minor misrepre-
senteo his age, claiming at the
time he secured the liquor that he
was above twenty-one years.
An effort will be made to have As
semblyman John o. Thomas, of Racine,
introduce in the assembly a bill to
amend the present law relating to the
sale OF intoxicating liquor to minors.
This amendment will make it an Of
tense Tor minor to misrepresent his
age TO saloonkeeper, making it pun
ishable by fine or imprisonment or
both as the legislature may see fit.
1t is claimed that the saloonmen
have no protection whatever and that
they have been at the mercy of the
law

MONEY MAKES GOOD FIRE

There are few people in this city OF
county. who are aware that after, OF
during each session of the county
board, there is a nice little fire
built, in which the unclaimed county
orders, are turned to ashes. These
periods OF sending money up in smoke,
are not Improbable to the county.
Not at all. They are, on the other
hand, improbable to those in whose
favor the orders are drawn, and while
in each individual Case they are small,
IN the sum total they amount up.
In the case of jurors fees and witness
fees, the law provides that all claim
on the county ceases at the end of two
years, Those in whose favor they are
drawn have no recourse, other than
TO loose the5r money in the smoke of
the fires noted above. On the other
hand, other claims when legal. can be
renewed, by going through the proper
red-tape.
wood county during the past two
years has burned S345.02 in unre-
deemed county orders. In 1905 the
amount was heavy. 90, but during
the past year it has been small, S35. O6.
The great difference is accounted for
by the promptneSS with which Mr..
Davis presents the list 20 the county
board. In fact. at each meeting, he
has the list prepared and the work of
ordering the fires is short. On the
other hand the list which is left to
run for two or three years. as was the
case in 1905, amounts up rapidly.

"A NOBLE OUTCAST"

If effort good faithful effort
counts for efficiency, the amateur pro-
duction of ga Noble Outcast,' to be
given in this city Thursday evening
February It'll, under the auspices of
the city band, and the direction of
Prof. Bliss, will be one of the best
productions given in Grand Rapids.

work has attached to this effort, and
the purpose is strictly beneficiant.
The proceeds, we are informed, are to

accessories for the band

is in itself masterpiece, the special
ties arranged are said to be of more
than the average interest, and plenty
of time and work has been given to
bring the whole program up to high
standard.
The music for this occasion will be
furnished by the Wautoma orchestra
of ten pieces. This orchestra has
been drilled thoroughly in their part
of the program, and all who attend
may feel assured of an exceptionally
pleasant evening.
The seats for this event are now on
sale, and it will be well to reserve
them early, as every body will be
there to aid the city band boys, in
their commendable effort to get into
proper shape for the summer concerts.

large audience, who were anxious to
take trip with him through Russia
and Siberia. The fore part of his
lecture consisted of an Interesting
talk on Russia, its people and the
form of government. In connection
Herewith, the Captain gave a brief
historical sketch of his life, so as to
lay the foundation for the latter part
Of his lecture, which was illustrated
by moving pictures.
He took his audience with him on a
trip to Russian-Siberia, starting with
scenes in Chicago and New York,
crossing the Atlantic upon a large
steamer, and then showing the prin-
cipal cities of Europe. His recital of
his experiences as prisoner in Siberia
were very interesting, and his large
audience appreciated his address
throughout. 1t was instructive and
fascinating.
This entertainment was given I'M
der the auspices of the Masonic lodge.

CAN'T AFFORD TO READ

THE old Bible says: ssThere is a way
that seemeth right unto a man. but
the end thereof is DEATH" So it is
often in the matter of what we can
afford. Many farmer has starved
1 bis mind while he was fattening his
| hogs, and it ended in less and less
power OF mind. Here is thought
from one of our exchanges:
We often meet with this objection
TO taking farm papers: II can't afford
IL. L take the county paper, and a
city daily and that's all the time / can
lind to read, and all | can afford to
pay for"
Can't afford it-haven't time. NV
what state of affairs! 1t has been
shown by carefully collected statistics
that those who read a dairy paper
make enough clear profit from one
COW over the profit that a non-reading
dairyman makes, to pay for many
papers.
The statistics about reading a dairy
paper that the paper alluded to were
collected by Hoard's Dairyman in the
taking of cow census in Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa. Indiana,
OHIO, New York, Pennsylvania, Yer
mont and Connecticut. Nearly fifteen
hundred dairy farmers were visited
and a complete census of the work
OF their cows at the creamery for a
year was taken. With each one it was
aScertained if he read dairy paper or
not. The difference in the profits of
those men who read Hoards Dairy.
man over those who did not read ran
as high in some cases as six dollars
per COW. There is good reason for
this. The man that is well informed
does better in anything than the man
who is not. You can get Hoard's
dairyman for two cents a week. Think
of it! Can you afford not to take it?
Prof. G. l.. Mckay of the Iowa
College of Agriculture was lecturing
ON dairying in California, Oregon and
Washington. He says that he found
everywhere, that the most successful
dairy farmers were readers of Hoard's
Dairyman. 1t is so here. 1t is a
simple thing to write your name
and post office address plainly on a
slip Of paper, put it 10 an envelope
with a dollar note and address it to
Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkinson,
Wis. Try it, and it will do you ten
times the good it costs.

CATARRH GROWING LESS,
Due TO the Use Of Hyomei Cures Without
Stomach DOSING.

There has been marked falling of,
OF sales of catarrh cures in the Iocal
stores the past year. Medicines which
were formerly purchased in gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than dozen
at "a time.
Hyomei is notable exception to
this decrease in sales. 1t is, in fact.
largely responsible for the IeSsened
sales of catarrh medicines. as it has
cured so many people of catarrhal
troubles that naturally there is less
call for remedies for that disease,
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with HYomei. 1t is breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hyomei outfit.
Wood County Drug Co. give their
personal guarantee that the money
will be refunded unless the treatment
cures, so that you run no risk at all in
buying this reliable remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, extra bottles, if needed, soc,
