RESERVE HORSES For WAR.

s~itzsrland's Method Of Preparing For
Rapid Mobilization.
In Switzerland the state IL part own
or Of horses used by reserves. 1t pur-
chases a remount at three and half
years old, and the soldier pays half
the cost Of the horse to the govern
ment. together with the difference be-
tween its cost and the price that the
horse fetches At auction. for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year of training the gov
eminent refunds one-tenth Of the orig
1nal half cost to the man, and at the
end of ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property Of the soldier.
In this manner the soldier il not only
always well mounted. but as he keeps
his horse with him at his home his
mobilization problem is Of the simplest
nature.
The average price OF these Swiss
troop horses is about f45 says Baily's
Magazine. and as most Of these horses
are imported from Ireland and north
Germany their price is considera bly,
higher than 1t would be in Great Brit
ain. Thus the state secures the serv-
ices OF a horse for an annual outlay
Of about "a los. But there are certain
other expenses which must be includ-
ed in this estimate. such as the cost of
the establishment for remount depots,
ETC.. which raises the total cost Of
horses for the Swiss government to
about f8 lbs. a year.

Dandruf And Itching
Scalp Yield To
Zemo Treatment

Why should you continue to exper-
iment with salves, greasy lotions and
fancy hair dressings trying to rid
your scalp of germ life. They can't
do it because they cannot
penetrate to the seat of the trouble
and draw the germ life to the sur
face of the scalp and destroy it.
Why not try PROVEN REMEDY
One that will do this. We have a rem
edy that will rid the scalp of germ
life and in this way will cure DAN
DRUFF and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean. re-
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that goes
right to the seat of the trouble and
drives the germ life to the surface and
destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO (ANTISEP-

Three Elements

Every growing ambitious town
is com posed of three elements.
Those who work periodically, vigor-
ously and intelligently for its adj
vaucement; those who are in a
state of apathy or indifference, and
those who take curious delight in
discouraging the efforts OF others by
ridicule, and by persistent denial
that any progress can or has
been accomplished, and by boasts
of every other town besides their
own. The last class are call I'd
croakers, but they are really some
thing worse, for the opposition does
not arise simply from dependency
but from that uneviable spirit that
will neither act itself or suffer
others to act. The Tomahawk.

SHOW EXCELLENT GAINS
First Estimates of Sale
Borne Out by Returns Now
Reaching Milwaukee

The early returns received by
the Wisconsin Anti-Iuberculo-
sis association show an excellent
proportional gain in the sale of
Christmas seals during the 1910
campaign over the preceding
year and it is believed that the
first estimate of 8, $50, 900 sales
will be confirmed.
Forty-six out of a possible 475
towns have reported and paid
for $2,O93.7l worth of seal this
year, as against $1,o75,74 last
year. The apparent gain Is cut
down however, by the fact that
a larger mum Der of towns parti.
cipated this year than last year.
Out of a possible 400 rural
schools, 1O1 have reported cash
sales of $531.32. Partial Milwa-
kee returns in cash now $3. 733.
Is which will probably be in
creased by $4,000.
The actual cash received by
the association up to the end of
last week was nearly $4,000.
None of the larger cities have
reported. Campaign managers
are being urged to make returns
before Jan. 18th, the last day on
which sales, to be counted in
the award of prizes. must be in
the hands of the association.
"What will be done with this
money!" is a question frequent
~ asked. Many people do not
understand why the association
does not spend this fund ON pa
tients who have the disease in
stead OF on the source OF the
trouble.
There are at least 10000 cases
of consumption in Wisconsin to.
day. If the association had
spent last years fund of
$23, 900 in relief work, 1t would
not even scratch the surface.
If the association had $40, 600 a
year to spend, each case could
receive only 81, which would do
the patient no good worth men
tioning and would do absolutely
nothing toward preventing the
disease. These figures take no
account of the amount it would
require to distribute the $40 600
equally among the 10000 pa
tients. The purpose lof the as
sociation is to root out the cause
of the disease rather than to
try to relieve the effects of it.
