FINES WOMAN FOR CONTEMPT

Mrs. Della Moorehouse was fined $25
by Judge Wilbur yesterday for con-
tempt of court in attempting to take
Elmer Davis, her son by former mar
rage, from Mrs. Strickland's Home for
Boys recently.
The boy had been sent to the home
and the mother ordered by the court
to pay for his support, the amount be-
ing about $11 month. She refused,
and several days ago she went to the
home and endeayored to take the boy
away with her, declaring she did not
care "a continental' what the court
had ordered.
Probation officers stopped her from
taking the boy and she was brought to
court yesterday and fined.

It's Economy to
Buy Pure Water
PURrrAs Is ABSOLUTELY PURE

When we say Puritas Distilled Water is
absolutely pure we mean. first-it is abso-
lutely devoid Of vegetable impurity. II you
think filters render your water thus pure
you are mistaken. The germs left in the
water by filters those most likely to
cause disease
We mean. secondly. it is free from all
mineral impurities. Minerals in water can
not be assmllated by the system-they clog
the arteres--and tend to bring on rheuma-
tism and kidney troubles.
This absolute purity can be obtained only
as we obtain IL. by two Installations. The
sparkling, refreshing quality of Puritas is
due to Its being ozonated.

A GOOD AND TIM Ell
ESTION.

The following from Editor George d.
Cline's paper, The Hudson True Repub
lican, is good and in good taste. 1t is
also most timely as from now until the
: close of the present school year, the
problem to which it refers will perplex
parents who have struggled hard to
give their sons and daughters the benefit
of high school education:
1.-THE graduating exercises of the High
school are approaching and with them
problems that are confronting the board.
Among these are the making of the
exercises as little burdensome as possible
to parents of small means. The matter
of graduating apparel is of much con-
sequence to many families. If the we'll
to do make graduation matter of dress
display the others will feel that they
must follow to avoid contrast even
though it puts their parents to distress.
The people in good circumstances alone
can help in this matter. They can
afford to adopt simple apparel. No
comments would be made upon it in
their case and those in close circum-
stances would gladly follow. The prob
lem has been discussed in the Board of
Education; it is possible that if no class
action is taken the cap and gown ap-
parel will be required. In the mean
time the senior girls are advised to keep
shy of dressmakers for the present.
Let us make the High school as demo-
cratic as is consistent with respecta-
hility -

Pennies in Mail Boxes,

The postoffice department has issued
ruling to the effect that rural carriers
need not collect loose coins placed in
mail boxes by patrons. Following is
the announcement sent out concerning
the same:
In view of the extent to which the
practice Of placing loose coins in boxes
by rural patrons has grown, and the
delay in the delivery and collection OF
mail and the hardship imposed on rural
carriers incident thereto, you are in
formed that, commencing February Is,
proximo, rural carriers will not be re-
quired to collect coins from rural mail
boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in piece
of paper, or deposit them in a coin
holding receptacle, so they can be east
ly and quickly taken from boxes, and
carriers will be required to lift such
coins, and where accompanied by mail
for dispatch, attach the requisite stamps.

producer, but she has comparatively no
manufactures. The time will doubtless
come when West Virginia, with her
vast coal resources, will stop shipping
away all of her fuel, largely to New
York and New England, and become a
great manufacturing State. 1t is only
necessary to consult the statistics of
manufacturing of any region to arrive
at close approximation of its relative
coal consumption. Some figures pre-
pared from the 1906 anthracite coal out
put, practically all from Pennsylvania
mines, -will convey an idea of where
the country's hard coal renders it's final
accounting. In that year New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania consum-
ed in round numbers Al 100000 tons;
New England, 100000 tons; States
west of the Ohio River, 100000 tons;
Southern States, 100000 tons, and
Canada, 100000 TONS Only 100000
tons were exported. From "Our Coal

Attempted HOldup.

Louis White, farmer of Elk Grove
was held up while returning from
Platteville Saturday evening, by man
who wanted to go to Benton. The hold
up took place about s o'clock some
where between Platteville and Elk
Grove, when "Mr Man" demanded
that he wanted to go to Benton, where
upon he was refused. But this is not
all, 81 want to go to Benton he said"
and got in the sleigh, but wouldn't sit
in the seat, but preferred standing up
behind. White suspicioned something
wrong and demanded an explanation,
saying: II am not going to sit with
my back toward you; here is your road
to Benton and you get out" The un-
fortunate victim woke up the wrong
passenger and was "accidently" thrown
from the sleigh in snow bank White
continued on his way, never looking
back to see what had become of his
man and for all we know, he may be
still stuck in the snow bank.

GOING DEMOCRATIC.

1t is well known how Speaker Cannon
went into the mining region of Mis-
souri,, in 1908, and by promising an i'm
port duty on zinc ore and secured to
Republican congressman from Demo
cratic districts On Tuesday of last
week, however, a special election was
held in the sixth Missouri district to
elect a successor to the late Congress-
man De Almond; and the returns show
marked change of sentiment. While
the election was very strongly contested
by both parties, G. c. Dickinson, the
Democratic candidate was elected by a
majority of 1911, which is more than
twice the majority by De Almond in
1908.

LET US BE FAIR,

The editor of the Fennimore Times
says in the last issue of his paper that
there are number of institutions which
Systematically work the country editor
for free advertising He charges "our
great university at Madison" with be-
ing the chief offender in this particular.
He says:
Regularly bulletin of stuff, enough
for a whole page or more of an ordi-
nary newspaper is issued and sent to
every paper in the state, and the, editor
is supposed to set up and print this
material in his paper, clarifying the
university and telling about it's wonder
full work, the readers to get the i'm
preston, of course, that the editor
wrote it himself and endorses it as
gospel truth. Besides this bulletin other

from the Varsity" all of which the
editor in his goodness of heart is asked
to insert at his own expense in his val
liable paper

the statement that there are a number
of institutions that systematically work
the country editor for free advertis-
ing. But we hold that he is entirely
wrong in his TRADE against the State
University. The Democrat receives
each week copy of the bulletin to
which he refers. This bulletin epito-
mixes the work which is being carried
on by the University, IN which all the
people of the state have an interest.
In the establishment of correspond
ence courses, in the extension and work
OF the college of agriculture, and in
many other directions, the University
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1910-02-10

has become great school for the people
in general. In extending the advan-
tages of its correspondence courses to
the people it has made it possible for
ambitious young men and young women
to acquire a liberal education at home.
If the mission of the press is to uplift
and ennoble mankind. the newspapers
of Wisconsin should keep in close touch
with institutions which provide instruc-
ton and inspire the people to seek the
highest and noblest things in literature
in art, in science. To cry down such
institutions is surely no work for the
press. To bring railing accusations
against them is to seek to destroy the
good work which they are doing.

consin State University are, in the judg-

MICROBES IN THE SCALP
The Latest Explanation is That
Microbes Cause Badness.

The Latest Explanation is That
Microbes Cause Badness.
Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, of Paris,
France, share the honor of having
discovered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a few
weeks work of these hair microbes,
but it is the result Of conditions brought
about by their presence. Badness may
not occur until years after the microbes
begin work, but it is certain to come
sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the roots of the hair, through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is consumed, the food
supply Of the hair is gone and it starves
and finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
Naphthol is most powerful, yet
absolutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents developments of germ
mature, and creates clean, healthy
condition.
Pilocarpine, although not coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient well
established for it's power to restore
natural color to human hair when loss
of color has been caused by disease.
Borax, because of it's well defined
softening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a
soothing, healing and nourishing in
fuence. Alcohol is indispensable in
medicine because of it's antiseptic,
stimulating and preservative qualities.
We want every one who has scalp or
hair trouble to try Rexall 't93" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these in
gradients. If it does not give you COM
plete satisfaction in every particular, we
will return every penny you paid us for
it, for the mere asking and without
question or formality.
Of course you understand that when
we say that Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic
will grow hair we do not refer to cases
where the roots are entirely dead, the
pores Of the scalp closed, and the head
has the shiny appearance of billiard
ball. In cases like this there is no hope.
In all other cases of badness Rexall
''93' Hair Tonic will grow hair, or
cost the user nothing. Two sizes, 80
cents and $1.0O. Remember you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in Mineral
Point only at our store,-The Rexall
Store. Ivey's Pharmacy.

Where the Coal Goes.

Who uses most o. the coal? First
and foremost of any single industry,
the railroads consume from 10000, 00O
to 100000, 900 tons year. and these and
steamships probably use nearly 80 per
cent of the country's output, which is
as much or more than is used for all
domestic and heating purposes. This
leaves approximately one half of total
production, principally bituminous,
to be accounted for by the industries of
the country.
Coal and manufacturing are terms
which are in general practice closely
related, but they are constantly chang
ing their adjustments. which affect and
are in turn affected by transportation.
For instance, New York is the greatest
manufacturing State, yet she possesses
no coal mines. On the other hand,
West Virginia is the third largest coal

ment of the Democrat, truthful state
nents of what is going on in its various
branches, and are to be used by editors
of newspapers, with or without credit
as they may see fit; and there is no
attempt whatever on the part of the
senders of these bulletins to make them
appear other than just what they are.
Publishers are accorded free county
circulation for their newspapers. Does
not this concession to them imply that
they are to do something in return in
the way of keeping the people in
formed upon all matters of public
concern?
There is no greater work than that of
public education. 70 aid in this work
should be deemed a privilege by the
press.

lack of men to answer the call upon
receiving vote of confidence by their
fellow citizens.
1t is i'll advised, too, because even
if there is legal warrant for aldermen
to determine by majority vote the
salaries of the members of their own
body,-of which there is doubt,-it is
hardly a proper investment of power.
The proposition is untimely, because
there are at this present many other
very worthy objects to which the money
required to meet the proposed increase
in salaries might better be appropriated.
A general good natured discussion of
a matter of local interest will certainly
do no harm, and may do a great deal
Of good.
Well settled public opinion ought to
be common law.

LOCAL PUBLIC OPINION.

Since It's publication In the Democrat
and the Tribune, last week, the PROPOSE
ton of the common council to increase
the salaries Of the mayor and the
councilmen has been the subject OF
much discussion by the citizens OF
Mineral Point. The matter is locked al
from many points of view, and natural
ly there is a great diversity of opinion
SO far as the Democrat can learn, how
ever, the thought which strongly pre-
walls is that the proposition is i'll ad.
vised and untimely.
1t is i'll advised, because an increase
of salaries would not cause better class
of men to aspire to local craftsmanship
