TUBERCuLlN BILL Is READY
Assemhlynan Bichler's Measure Pro.
vdes for Public Apprasals and
Adjustment of Casts.

Madison = Assemblyman Bichle Ter
of Ozaukee county has put in his long
expected tuberculin test bill and it
was referred to the committee on
purity of commodities. The bill takes
away the present compulsory featura
of the law and makes several other
changes, the clause relating to ap-
praisal of animals being one of the
more important.
The bill calls for the appointment
by the county boards annually of one
appraiser in each city, village and
town, who shall be competent judges
of cattle values. When animals are
condemned, the livestock sanitary
board is required to submit to the
owner list of five appraisers from
which the owner selects three to make
the appraisal. The value of the con-
demned animals is limited to 800
for pedigreed cattle, SIS for non-ped-
igreed and $50 for common cattle.
The appraisers receive IS a day from
the county. Full value is returned
by the state if tubercular LESSONS are
not found and three-fourths the value,
not to exceed $50, If they are found
after slaughter.
The single feature in which the bill
is compulsory, has to do with cattle
sold at public auctions. The Bichler
bill requires sellers to inform buy
ers whether the cattle have reacted
under the tuberculin test within a
given period, but it contains no re-
quirement for a test before private
sale.

Madison.-'I have a great deal

economic and social problems. This
state is giving lessons to all COM

Ship
This was the most significant
thing said by Col. Theodore Roose-
welt during his visit to Madison. He
said it three times in public speeches
and he reiterated it several times
in conversation.
H. the words of several legislative
leaders, Roosevelt 'came clear
through" on the progressive move

worked out certain social and eco
nom;c problems under the leadership
of Senator Robert NJ La Follette'
There was cheering in the assem-
bly, chamber when he paid the trib-
ute 20 La Toilette, and when he re-
pea*ed it in his speech in the uni
verGity gymnasium.
II previous speeches in Wisconsin,
Col. Roosevelt had omitted reference
to Senator La Toilette, and there had
been much speculation whether he
would continue avoiding the mention
of his name upon this visit, especial
ly in view of Senator La Follette's
open attacks upon the Taft admin
istration policies.
The speaker lauded the success
of the railroad commission law and
said that other states would be
forced to follow Wisconsin in deal
ing with the railroad problem In
speaking of the workmen's compen-
sation bill, he urged it's immediate
passage, leaving the courts to deter
mine its constitutionality. He praised
the University Of Wisconsin for its
cooperation with the state govern
ment in rendering service to the
state and said that it occupied a posi-
ton in this respect which was unique.
Col Roosevelt was the guest Of
the state through it's representatives,
the legislature and the governor, for
six and one-half hours, during which
he was Toasted and toasted and
otherwise accorded a true Wisconsin
welcome. From the time of his ar
rival from ST. Paul until he left for

Remarkable Coincidence in Sum OF
Money That Rastus Had in
His Pocket

Rastus was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-tive
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was ac-
quilted.
Counsel and client met a few min
utes later outside the court room.
Now, Rastus," said Clearem.

counsel very little for defending this
kind of case | worked hard for you

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

Of all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfgure man.
kind three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. It is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss Of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura ONT
ment For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of ecZenas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample Of
each will be mailed free to any adj
dress, together with a 32-page pamph"
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
we'll as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cutl-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.

Blast Loss Over Half Million.

Kenosha. - The contractors have
completed the work OF estimating the
damage done by the recent powder
explosion at the plant of the E. /.
Dupont company, and it will exceed
half a million dollars. The final esti-
mates on the loss to the company
places it close to $250,000 and the
loss to farmers in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie is placed at $4,000.
Most of this has been paid and the
company has started work of settling
5000 other claims for damages from

he could conveniently carry it in that

American Author Broke Down While

man Comfortsd Him.

when Charles Dickens was max
ing his first visit to the United States,
in the latter part of 1841 and early
part of 1912, he spent some days in
New York city" said the late Parke
Goodwin, son-in-law of William Cullen
Bryant, whose career as journalist
and author dated back to 1887. After
his return to England, Dickens pub
lished, l think in the year 1914, his
novel Martin Chuzzlewit,' in which
so many chapters are devoted to the
Characterization of some of the crude
personalities in American life as he
had met them.
Some of my literary friends, after
the publication of Martin Chuzzlewit,'
attempted to identify several of the
places mentioned in the book and we
did establish to our own satisfaction
the identity of the boarding house at
which Martin Chuzzlewit and Mark
Tapley were entertained after they
came to New York We also tried to
identify the original of the character
Of Jefferson Brick, the newspaper man
whom Dickens so wildly caricatured,
and finally we made up our minds that
Brick was a composite of several

On Men.

And that leads me to say that men
often remind me of pears in their
way of coming to maturity. Some
are ripe at twenty, like human largo
nelles, and must be made the most of,
for their day is soon over. Some
come into their perfect condition late,
like the autumn kinds, and they last
better than the summer fruit. And
some that like the Winter-Neils, have
been hard and uninviting until all the
rest have had their season, get their
glow and perfume long after the frost
and snow have done their worst with
the orchards.
Beware of the rash criticism; the
rough and astringent fruit you con-
denim may be an autumn or a winter
pear, and that which you picked up
beneath the same bough in August
may have been only it's worm-eaten
