WHY YOU SHOULD
PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISER

The advertising store should always
be the first in the mind Of the pur-
chaser who is inclinedtoward bOaSting
his own home town. First-becauSe
it is through their efforts the news
paper exists. IL is the advertiser who
places the newspaper at price for
which you are enabled to have the
news delivered To your door each day.
1t is the advertiser who places the
newspaper upon basis whereby it
can be made of interest to it's readers.
1t is the newspaper that strives hard
each day to place before prospective
hOmeSeekerS the advantages of the
town and surrounding country as a
place to live, bringing new families to
its locality for permanent home, and
with additional population comes in
crease in business. Who then is right
fully entitled TO this business the
merchant who advertises OF the mer-
chant who does not advertise. The
advertiser is the only one rightfully
entitled to this new business, and he
usually gets it too. Business men,
you who seldom, if ever advertise
wake up. Crack the shell and walk
out of that squeeze the eagle habit.
Subscribers make it your business to
do business with the business me q
who advertise. They are the peopl e
who make it possible for the city TO
have newspaper.

The old fashioned way of dosing a
weak stomach. or stimulating the
Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr.
Shoop first pointed out this error.
This is why his prescription-Dr
ShOos's Restorative-is directed en-
tirely to the cause OF these ailments
the weak inside or controlling nerves.
1t isn't so difficult, says Dr. Shoop,
to strengthen weak Stomach, Heart
or Kidneys, if one goes at IL correctly
Each inside organ has its controlling
or inside nerve. When these nerves
fall then those organs must surely
falter. These vital truths are lead
ing druggists everywhere to dispense
and recommend DR.. Shoop's Restora-
tive. Test it few days and see!
Improvement will promptly and surely
follow. Sold by Wood County Drug

PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD
Iii. Weak and Emaciated. Re
stored TO Health by VinoI

SCOA OSA ~ xAOCsAth Wy lhO4
"Our little daughter, six years of age.
after severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom-
ach was so weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
''At this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress, and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1t
is a fine remedy, keep it up We did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" J. w. FIagg,
Portland, Me.
Vinol cures conditions like this be-
cause in natural manner it increases
the appetite, tones up the digestive
organs, makes rich, red blood, and
strengthens every organ in the body.

TAX REFORMS VERSUS
LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT

The first portion of the address pre-
sents brief view of the subject of
taxation, its necessity and great use
fulness. Legitimate taxation is a
mark of civilization; its increase,
though inevitable in progressive COM
monwealths, is not cause for alarm if
! kept within reasonable bounds.
In the second part municipal extra
vagance is considered. Stress is laid
upon the Importance of scientific busi-
ness methods in the administration of
municipal affairs, particularly those
| involving the raising and expenditure
of public funds. a system of uniform
accounting is mentioned and approved,
but is not sufficient to accomplish
needed reforms. 1t is of greater i'm
portance to secure the service of men
trained in municipal administration.
The impracticability of DUNG this by
the methods now provided by law is
pointed out. 1t is possible only by
abandoning so much of our present
system of local Self-gOvernment as is
necessary to have municipal admins
traitors selected by some method better
calculated to secure the services of
men with re tquiSite qualifications. 1t
is conceded that such proposal is not
in line with more purely democratic
ideas of management of municipal af-
fairs, but it is shown that the present
trend is in the direction of centraliz-
ing authority and responsibility as
means of securing more efficient pub
lie service and greater economy in
public expenditures.
The third section of the address
treats Of the apportionment of tax
burdens and the inequalities resulting
from omissions and arbitrary valua-
tions of property in local assessments.
Such assessments have not improved
materially in recent years and in some
respects have grown worse, nOtwith-
standing all the efforts for improve
ment made by acts of the legislature
and otherwise. Assessors and boards
| Of review are not charged with having
less respect for law or official oblga-
tion than other citizens or officials,
but denunciation is meted out to the
system under which influences tending
to bad assessments are of greater force
than the commands Of the lava SyS-
tenn which requires of assessing officers
moral stamina not possessed by the
average man. 1t is more practicable
to revise the system than to reform
human nature. If assessors, instead
of owing their offices to local electors,
were selected by some outside au-
thority and. with reference to capacity.
with tenure of office and compensation
depending on faithfulnesS and ef-
ficiency, they would be immune to
the influences now producing such
evil results. But the constitution
provides that assessing officers must
be chosen by electors of the district in
which they are to serve, or by officials
of such district, and stands in the way
Of such reform.
Shall the constitution be changed IN
this respect?

SHOT HIMSELF WITH
SUICIDAL INTENT

Cornelius Cochran a resident farmer
near Bancroft, about so years of age
was brought here Friday night on
the Chicago & Northwestern 1926
train and taken to River View
Hospital. He had shot himself with
suicidal intent. The ball entered
his mouth and lodged in the top of his
head. He bled profuSely and its d
question whether he will recover or
not. 1t depends somewhat as to
to where the Oall is lodged. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Cochran lives with his
brother and together they operate a
farm about six miles out from Ban

not yet known, but it is believed that
he must have been insane.

Public Demonstration Wit

Stevens Point JOurnal-A crowd of
nearly 1000 people witnessed the pub

sis on the publicsquare this afternoon,
conducted by DR.. Clark of Janesville.
state veterinarian.
Three cattle from the DdFOe farm,
near Rudolph, were led onto the
square and their condition in life was
commented upon. One was IN good
ondition, another fair and one very
much run down.
The animals were killed by ]. n.
Peickert's butchers and were so quick

little objection to the public butch

diease to marked degree. One Of
the animals, the best looking one, DR..
Clark thought, would pass the govern

vision, but the other two were so
thoroughly infected that the carcass

Disgusting ulcers were found in the
udderS of two of the COWS, and there
were large areas of their lungs. liver
and lvmphatic glands affected
To those who had read up on the
subject and who were intelligently in
formed on the subject, the demonstIa-
tion was valuable object lesson and
was thoroughly appreciated.
Others claim it was "hun bug" !"
gotten up to frighten the people so as
to give the veterinarians chance
to graft on these tuburculin tests.
One group of farmers was overheard
talking in the above strain. They
said ''Why that meat is all right. as
bright and clean as you ever saw in
any market. When those little spots
are cut of it looks good. Any butcher
would buy it.
These farmers missed the point Of
the lest altogether. The point was
not to show how badly the meat
looked but on the other hand to show
how good the animals and flesh looked
while their lungs and glands reeked
with tubercular germs.
Attention is especially called to
the fact that if those farmers had
butchered similarly diseased cattle
at home on their farms. the flesh
would have been sold to the public on
the streets of the city.
