REST AT GlsH0LT HOME
Advantages of Old Folks Retreat at
Madison Not Fully Appreci-
ated by People.

Madison.-Six persons soon will
be enjoying the comforts of the Gis-
holt home for old folks--the late
John A. Johnson's benefaction six
miles east of Madison, and they have
comforts and conveniences such as
none of them perhaps ever had be-
fore--a new tireproof habitation, a
glorious farm over which to ramble,
a wondrous view of Madison and its
lakes, no restraint, and kindly rela-
tionship with those In charge.
All these advantages are open to
any elderly individual who deposits
$4,000 at the home, the proceeds of
which help to defray expenses.
The home has accommodations for
about twenty persons, and inquiries
are being received from various parts
of the state. 1t is incredible that it's
superior privileges can exist long
without all its accommodations be-
ing taken, and an anxious waiting
list be formed. 1t is available alike
to women and men.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found a better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead Of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
Il had drank coffee for about TWEEN
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart l was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
eft, h,i kidney trouble and constipa-
ton.
The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then became less respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof OF renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power / formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account Of coffee, but since using
Postum / am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before.

wellyille, in pkgs. There's Reason.

OBJECT TO WATER RATES
Manufacturing Concerns Retain ATT
tornsys and Private Property Own
ers Said to Threaten Action.

Racine.-Complaint is to be filed
with the state rate commission
against the Racine Water company,
it is said, by two manufacturing con-
Germs of this city, it being alleged that
the rates charged for water and for
meter service are excessive.
Following these complaints may
come complaints from owners of resi-
denees, charging that the rates for
water service in homes are excessive,
and that the company refuses to al
low more than one meter in apart
ment buildings, causing tenants to
divide the amount of the bill, instead
of each paying for the water he ac-
tually consumes.
The Badger Foundry company and
the Harvey Spring company retained
attorneys to draw up the complaints.
T. w. Thiesen, chairman of the
board of education. a member of that
body for nearly twelve years, has re-
signed.

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example of Scottish Humor in
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and | always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang of little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac
count of slight mishap a mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay
Aye, aye" unused Andra, after Civ
ing the desired information, "ye'n be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?"
Yes. my man." was the reply;
I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told!"
What MIGHT ye be goin' to dae
there. sir, If it's as bad as a. that?,
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, I'm
going to drive the devil out of Aber-
deem
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:-
"See an drive him north, chiel;
haud him well to the north!"-Ex.

Eau Claire Judge Who Was to Try
Dietzes, Said TO Be Consider
ing Man From Miiwau-
kee Circuit

La Crosse.-Circuit Court Judge
e. c. Higbee announced that he would
not sit in the John Dietz murder case
for Judge Wickham, Eau Claire.
81 have discussed the case and
would not be fit, in my mind, to hear
the evidence" declared Judge Hig-
bee.
In case Judge Wickham insists on
importing Judge, one from the
Milwaukee circuit will in all prob
ability be chosen.
Hayward Notified that Sawyer
cou~t y will no longer answer for the
Dietz clearing, informed that lumber
men are working frantically on every
side of the little homestead telling
timber, and told that their daughter,
Myra Dietz, is about to be removed
from the Ashland hospital to the
county jail, John DietZ and Mrs.
Dietz declare they are the victims
of unwarra1ted persecution.
Sheriff Madden, in behalf of Saw
yer county, notified his prisoner that
the county would no longer guard
his homestead or care for the stock.
The sheriff gave the notice on his
own responsibility, declaring that the
expense of keeping two men on the
homestead was an unnecessary one.
John Dietz also was notified that
Judge Wiekham of Eau Claire, who
was expected to admit him to bail.
is in La Crosse and bail can not be
secured for Dietz until the court re-
turns. Dietz was further notified
that In case Judge Wickham admitted
him to bail he again will be re-
arrested and confronted with the
Horel shooting charge which, in turn,
will be followed by all of the other
indictments against him.

The House committee on Ways and Means is to make what is called "a thorough and exhaustive investigation of the present high cost of living" It was this committee which construct ed the Payne tariff bill, now in effect and containing the high duties on food products that were recently pub lished in these columns. Is it rea- sonable to believe that the commit tee which originated these duties, will now condemn itself by finding them promotive of the high cost of living ? To go further, is it reasonable to be- 1ieve that the party, having prohibit tive protection as it's long esta blished and obstinately held policy, will now reverse itself and confess that such policy, as affecting food products, is radically wrong, impoverishing the people and enriching the monopolies
 We venture with full confidence the prediction that the Ways and Means committee will declare the high cost of living to be wholly due to natural causes and, therefore, unavoidable and irremediable-in other words, a full exculpation of the Beef Trust.
