a Geld OF red clover

a field OF red clover
Where humblebces tumble
And slip and turn over
And humble and grumble-
che blossoms drip sweetness
The dew Is distllEng
when 60 all completeness
Their petals are filling
Ehe morning light dances
From clover TO clover;
In shimmering glances
The field 1t runs over.
And sweeter and cleaner
II seems to grow daily,
It's leaves flashing greener
And nodding ali gayly.
The breeze runs above Il
And zephyrs float after
To toss II and love II
With mystical laughter.
A field of red clover
The reddest and rarest.
And all the world over
OF pictures the fairest
Ana liant II bent I'm
A marvellous pity
That children are pent in
The streets OF the city
Whose blame is the blunde-
That no child runs over.
The scent-tnngled wonder.
A field of red clover?
The blossoms are signing
For children all sunny
To come to them flying
And suck out their hone
The city Is yonder
And here the red clover
And thus do we blnnder
Things. over and over.

There Is considerable elation in the
office of the state dairy and food com
missioner over the fact that the fed
eral department OF agriculture has de-
cided that chemical "saccharine" IL
deleterious and Injurious to health
and its use in all food products shall
be prohibited after July 1.
81 am glad to see that for once the
cry of uniformity has different APP
plication, and this time Il is the gov
eminent following the lead Of Wis
consin.' said Commissioner J. O.
Emery. The use of saccharine in
foods is prohibited by the Wisconsin
law, and this law has been enforced
to the extent that It is no longer
used as a cheap sweetener for soft
drinks, jellies. Jams and other foods
manufactured In this state.
This is but another illustration Of
the lack Of force in this plea for uni
formity' of the Wisconsin food laws
with those Of the federal government.
Saccharine is a coal-tar product. 5S4
times sweeter than cane sugar, II
possesses absolutely no food value
and is really deleterious; therefore It
should not be used for food This
fact was recognized In Wisconsin
long before the governments referee

Spread Of Rabies Cause for Alarm.

Spread of Rabies Cause for Alarm.
Rabies, one of the most dreadful
diseases known to medical science. is
increasing in Wisconsin. This is
positively shown by the increasing
number of heads Of mad dogs exam
ined at the state hygienic laboratory
and the increasing number of pa.
tients treated at the Pasteur insti,
tute at Madison. The disease is in
creasing, it is believed, because the
most common medium of spreading Il
the homeless dog--is increasing.
Experience has proven that one OF
the best ways TO stamp out the dread
disease is by killing on the homeless
ours and muzzling the other dogs
for a period of three months or more
whenever there is reason TO suspect
that they have been exposed to the
bite of any animal affected with the
disease.
The state hygienic laboratory has
had an unusually large number OF
heads Of dogs suspected of having
had the rabies sent to II for examina-
tion during the last four months.
The number exceeds 100 The Pas
teur institute has treated 40 patients
so far this year, which is an average
OF ten month.
This is an average Of one more
month than was treated last year.
Since the institute was established In
November, 1909, 1865 cases have been
treated Only one case resulted fatal
ly. that being a little Indian girl of
the Oneida reservation. who was
treated last year. There were three
other deaths from hydrophobia in the
state last year, but they were not
treated at the institute.
