QUALITY OF PRODUCT.
Want information About Banks.

The special legislative committee on
banking has sent out through it's sec
rotary to the banks of the state list
of questions which, If generally an
swered, would place the committee in
possession of the condition of every
bank in the state.
The questions are sent out for the
purpose of obtaining information
which will enable the committee to
draw bills for presentation to the leg
islature.
In his letter accompanying the ques-
tons Secretary Rhodes says:
"The special legislative committee
appointed to consider the subject of
banks very much desire the informa-
ton which will be disclosed by intel
ligent answers to the questions pro
pounded on the inclosed separate
sheets. We hope that the direct inter
est which the banking fraternity has
in the conclusions of this committee
will prompt every banker in the state
to cooperate with the committee in
it's endeavor to secure an intelligent
basis upon which to found its conclu-
sions, to the extent of devoting such
time as may be necessary to give re-
liable and conscientious answers to
the questions propounded."

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, 1t is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es'
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced Is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

Change Site of Observatory. -.

The regents of the state university.
looking into the future and foreseeing
the probable necessity for a change
in the location of the Washburn OBJ
servatory, recently secured an option
on the Hammersly-O farm, just
west of the Catholic cemetery at For
est Hill, consisting of eight acres, al
$1,000 per acre. 1t is understood that
the option expires in short time, sc
the question of acceptance will soon
be before the regents for final dispo
sition.
Some of the men connected with the
observatory are outspoken in theil
desire to have it removed to some
place where the smoke from business
places will be less annoying, where
the vibrations from railroad trains
will be less disconcerting and where
the best scientific results may be OBJ
tanned. Whether or not definite &C
ton will be taken at once cannot now
be stated, but in view of the fact that
the option in question expires in few
days, it would seem that something
explicit will have to be done.

Gilbert Files Answer.


Attorney General Frank L. Gilbert
filed a demurrer in the circuit court
for Dane county to the suit brought
by A. B. Van Alstine, a resident and
taxpayer of the town of Dale, Outa-
gamie county, against Secretary of
State James A. Frear and State Treas
urer A. H. Dahl, asking the supreme
court to perpetually enjoin them, the
secretary of state from auditing and
the state treasurer from paying any
claims arising or growing out of the
operation of the primary election law
in Wisconsin
The demurrer interposed by Attor-
ney General Gilbert is to each of the
six causes of action set forth in the
complaint on the ground that each
and all of them fail to state facts suf-
ficient to constitute a cause of action
as appears on the face of the com
plant.
The objections to the law as set
forth in the complaint are briefly:
First-That it delegates to the
people legislative authority possessed
only by the legislature.
Second-That the law never was
published, as required by the consti'
tuition
Third-That it forbids the people to
peaceably assemble and consult for the
common good.
Fourth-That it limits the number
of persons who become candidates for
public Office.
Fifth-That the law makes no pro.
vision for certifying to the legislature
the name of the candidate chosen
hereunder for United States senator.
Sixth-That the law coerces the
members of the legislature in the dis
charge of their official duties in the
choice Of United States senator.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
Senator J. Elmer Lehr of Appleton and
Charles Flamb of Madison. For the
state will appear Attorney General
Frank L. Gilbert and Deputy Attor.
ney General Russell Jackson.

CROP YIELD IS
GOOD, SAYS TRUE
Prices Are Satisfactory, Accord
ing to Crop Report.
PRODUCTS HIGH IN QUALITY
Secretary of the State Board of Aeri-
culture Issues Final Report of
the Year Showing Wisconsin
Has Fared Well.

Misunderstanding attention to the
high price of farm product in Wiscon-
sin and to the quality and general
good yield of crops the past season,
Secretary John M. True of the state
board Of agriculture, issued the final
crop report of the year.
Compared with the report of year
ago, every principal crop shows a
greater yield, except tobacco and tame
hay, while prices range higher all
along the line Qualities range high,
tame hay being perfect and most of
the crops close to or above 80 per
cent. Following is Secretary True's
statement:
"The prices of some of the crops
most difficult of transportation vary
considerably in different parts of the
state, potatoes bringing so cents per
bushel in most markets in the south
ern section of the state, while in
counties where more largely grown
the price is much less. The same con-
ditions apply to a certain extent to
hay and other bulky products.
"In determining the average of any
given crop, due consideration is given
to the Importance of counties leading
in production of crops considered, so
that yield and price may bear prop
er proportion to acreage cultivated.
Attention is called to the high
quality of most of the leading prod
ucts.
"The yield per acre is very satisfac-
tory in comparison with that of the
past five years.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem.
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cot
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
would never breathe again.
1.-THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart He
said I must stop it, but it seemed
could not give it up until was down
IN bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks I lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and I quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly /
got well. Now I do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart We know it is Postum that
helped me. The Dr. said the other day.
I never thought you would be what
you are I used to weigh 90 pounds
and now weigh 15S.
Postum has done much for me and
! would not go back to coffee again
for any money, for believe it would
kill me If l kept at it. Postum must
be well boiled according to directions
on pkg, then it has rich favour
and WITH cream is fine"

The present prison was also built by

on the grounds, but, although it has
been enlarged every few years, and IS
now one of the largest penitentiaries
in the world, it is not large enough.

Asylum Charges Dropped.

The state board of control will moi
press further an inquiry into the treat
ment of patients at Z the Mendoza
Asylum for the Insane. This was de
cided when a statement of Monroe
citizens appearing in a newspaper of
that city was received, practically ex
onerating the officials of the asylum
from the charges of cruelty presented
by relatives of William Kafer and
Thomas Hess of Monroe. The board
decided to indefinitely postpone fur
ther investigation of the case.
The board at an investigation last
week invited Monroe people to be
present and hear the evidence, and
the statement issued there is regarded
as settling the question.
The board has elected DR.. L. r.
Sleveter of Appleton, as physician at
the state prison at Waupun, to sue
coed DR.. Brown who has been named
superintendent of the state School for
the Blind at GAINESVILLE.

The RemarkabIe TRIMMING.

her actor husband, won't you run
down to the milliner's and get me
the hat / ordered?"
Sure l won't make mistaken
queried Jimmy, somewhat obviously
with caution born of an utter ig-
norance of millinery.
"Oh, you won't" laughed the spouse.
MY hat is the white beaver trimmed
with orchids. You can remember
that"
Gamely he went to his doom. En-
tering the millinery shop, he asked
valiantly: Is my wife's hat ready?
mean the white biffer, trimmed with
oh-you-l1ids?"
And the French girls in the shop
made funny Partisan giggles at him.
