GAS VICTIM MAY DIE.
Crippled Invalid Shows Remarkable Re-
operative Powers-Slept Fifteen
Hours in Fumes.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, January 3d.
The probable ecovery of Charles
Schumacher. although aged and crippled,
from the effects of sleeping for fifteen
hours in a room filled with coal gas, is
considered remarkable by physicians.
Schumacher this morning was able to
take nourishment, having recovered his
consciousness.
Being an invalid lessened the aged
mans chances for recovery, but through
tho efforts of DR.. W.. f. Reich, who is
attending him, he is gradually regaining
strength. DIR. Reich accounts for Schu-
macher's recovery from the effects Of the
gas, from the fact that he was lying
upon the bed, while his aged mother
was on the floor where the gas was
thickest and heaviest, and consequently
the aged woman died. Schumacher is
being taken care of at his home, 40
Fourteenth avenue.

CUBS FOOD.
They Thrive ON Grape Nuts.

They Thrive ON Grape Nuts. ,=.
Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
GrapesNuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any 9th
er food, relish the perfect food, Grape
Nuts, land get well.
My little baby was given. up by
three. doctors who said that the con-
densed~milk on which 1 had fed her
had rHined the child's stomach. One
of the doctors told me the only thing
to do1would be to try Grape-Nuts, so
got some and prepared it as, follows !:
soaked ~ tablespoonfuls in one pint
OF cold5water for half an hour, then I
strained off the liquid and mixed II
teasp6o1fuls OF this strained Grape
Nuts Ii1ice with six teaspoonfuls Of rich
milk, put in a pinch of salt and a little
sugar., warmed it and gave it to baby
1.-TWO hours. ~ ~,
I'm this simple, easy way saved
baby'slife and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this, 1 can truthfully. say L think
it is the best food in the world to raise
delicate babies on and is also a deli
cious aealthful food for grown-ups, as
we have discovered in our family. !,

The railroad commission today dis
missed the complaint of the city of She

made a complaint 'in the name Of the
city against the company" An investiga-
authorized by the city to make the appii-
cation. The complaint was dismissed

NEW LONDON. Wis, Jan. %
Especial. Miss Lillian Cooper, to whom
New London points with pride as the
only woman proprietor of barber shop
in the state, was formerly successful
school teacher and deserted the black
board and rule for the brush and razor.
During the summer, when she was not
employed at the school,, Miss Cooper
learned to shave and cut hair and liked
the work, which she thought was far
easier than hearing the class in geog-
raphy bound the state of Massachusetts
and tell how many capitals there are IN
Rhode Island.
ZAP Cooper, her father, has conduct
ed a barber shop in this city for thirty
six years and has now resigned in favor
of his capable daughter.

an unintentional witticism, especially if
It were at the expense of the court.
One day a. prisoner, arralgned before
him for drunkenness and still under the
influence of liquor, pleaded as hard as
he could to be placed on probation.
"Why should / place you on proba-

you're drunk now"
"No. I'm not, your honor" said the
poor prisoner, earnestly. I'm as sober
as a judge" ~

PICK SITES FOR STATE PARKS.
Board Will Recommend Four Places with
Ideal Surroundings.


MADISON, Wis, Jan. 25.-T. E.
Birmingham, chairman of the state park
board, has returned from a trip around
the state devoted to the arousing of SEN
timent in favor of the park proposition.
The commission has not selected any
definite sites but has made a decision
upon four places that would give the
most ideal surroundings. They will rec
ommend that the state establish parks
in the localities named. One site is
Door county and here the commission
gives wide latitude for selection, as no
particular spot is favored beyond an
other. Another site to be recommended
is at Devils lake, where there are about
$500 acres available. Still another ideal
place is at Blue Mounds, near Mount
Horeb, in Dane county. A fourth site
that would be worthy of consideration,
the commission believes, is known as
Platte mounds, near Platteville, in
Grant county.
