PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it ''dry
eczema" l used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and Isl
considered hereditary, felt anxious
TO try to head it off. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what I needed.
The disease was making great
Roadway on my system until 1 got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and / am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. l always use the
CUticura Soap for toilet, and / hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

ers. Mich, Mar. 16, 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,

University State, or State University.

University State, or State University.
Whether the people of Wisconsin
want a university state or state uni
versity is a question raised by c. P.
Cary, state superintendent OF educa-
ton, in a remarkable letter sent out
from his Office, addressed to Teachers
and the General Public"
Mr.. Cary two years ago began the
publication of a series of similar let
tiers in which he discussed various as
poets of the high school problem, and
the present letter is the first in pro-
posed second series on the subject.
1t is likely to attract wide attention,
not only in educational circles, but
also among those who have been com
ing to believe that the state university,
under its present policies, was pre-
pairing trouble for itself in the future
by assuming activities outside of the
proper functions and by seeking to
dominate the politics and government
of the state.
THE public wants to help the uni
versity," says Mr.. Cary, "but it does
not know how to do it except to give
1t money, money, and let it have it's
own way. The university is the child
of the state, beloved child and a
spoiled child. The people of the state
when they were poor and when the
state was new, created the university

Catch Of Lake Trout Spawn Is Large.


The state fish commission completed
the taking Of lake trout spawn for this
year, and the indications are that IS
per cent. more spawn was taken than
in any previous year. Last year the
total of lake trout eggs taken was 81,
100000. This year it is expected to be
over 100000. This means that prob
ably 45,000000 lake trout fry will be
Matched and returned to Lakes Michi-
gan and Superior next spring. 1t is
thus that the supply of trout in the big
lakes is maintained. Probably most Of
the fresh water fish eaten in Wiscon-
sin is fresh water trout.
The demand for lake trout has be-
come so large during the last few
years that the supply has been insult
fcient to meet 1t. AS a result prices
have scared. Retailers receive from
II cents to Is cents a pound for this
fish. In order to keep this industry
year matches and turns into the big
lakes millions of trout fry.
Superintendent James Nevin of the
commission this year has "a crews on
Lake Michigan and 20 on Lake Su-
perior taking trout for their spawn.
Nineteen tugs worked out of the city
of Milwaukee. Other cities sending
out crews were Kenosha, Racine. She
boygan, Port Washington, Kewaunee,
Two Rivers, Algoma. Sturgeon Bay,
East Marinette and Bayfield,. The
crews used net with mesh of Az
inches, thus catching only the larger
trout. The eggs are sent to fish hatch
cries at Oshkosh and Bayfield, where
they are placed in glass jars and
hatchcd in about three months. After
the fry become large enough they are
placed on the spawning beds in Lakes
Michigan and Superior.
The fishermen who catch the spawn
producing trout for the commission, do
so under special licenses and receive
for their work the bodies of the trout,
after the eggs and milk have been ex,
PEELED.

SHORTEST DAY OF YEAR
TODAY, NOT YESTERDAY
Scientific-Looking Person Straight
ems Out Star Reporter on
the Subject.

A notwithstanding person with Dun-
die Of astronomical books under his arm
stopped a reporter on the street and
said he had a fine newspaper story:
"You see," declared Science. ''the pub
lie should be informed that this is the
shortest day Of the year."
Its the day before pay day; that's all
1 care about it,
Now listen. OF course the commonly
accepted idea is that yesterday was the
shortest day. Bowling to the calendar as
the duplication of truth itself, there
should have been less sunlight yester-
day than on any other twenty-four hours
in the year. But the sun decided to de-
cart from the conventional form. as 1t
runs on astronomical time and the cal
endar does not. The sun. therefore. will
celebrate the shortest day today. The
sun arose at 7:17, tried to break through
the clouds to beam on the Christmas
shoppers, worked for few hours and
will go to bed at 4:3O. having given us
nine hours and thirteen minutes of his
company showing that Old Sol does not
belong to the union.
Now this is very important. You see
there are 365.2422 days in the year, the
decimal fraction being little less than
quarter of a day. 1t is the difference
between the astronomical calendar and the
conventional calendar of the life insur-
ance companies which causes the shortest
day to fall December 22 sometimes In
stead of December u. The approximate

ROME, December 22-The jury in th>
Camorrist trial at Viterbo has notified the
president of the court that 1t needs to
hear no more evidence. The trial appears
to be on the verge of a collapse
The jury, which has been sitting since
early in March, has heard that the public
prosecutor intends to consume two weeks
in summing up his case. and the advocates
for the defendants also declare that they
will need much time in which. to address
the court. Inasmuch as each prisoner
has an advocate, the jury fears that the
trial will be prolonged hopelessly.
= Last week many witnesses refused to
appear in court. When their names were
called they did not answer.
End of Trial Uncertain.
1t was thought ten days ago that there
would be a mutual agreement between
prosecution and counsel for the prisoners
to eliminate ninety-two minor witnesses
and that the trial would be speedily end
ed But the hope was not well founded.
Such witnesses as have testified have
served to weaken the case of the prosecu-
ton They swore to the good character
of Errico Alfano, the reputed head OF the
Camorra, and testified also that the other
prisoners were worthy men. They reyiled
