A FOOD STORY
Makes Woman of 20 "One In 0,0Oo.'

The widow Of one of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
q famous leader in politics in his day,
says she IS 70 years old and "stron-
ger woman than you will find In ten
thousand" and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use of Grape
Nuts:
MANY years ago I had terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years I lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but it grew so repugnant to me that
had to give it up. Then I tried, one
after another, a dozen different kinds
of cereals, but the process Of diges-
ton gave me great pain.
"It was not until began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
found relief It has proved, with the
dear Lords blessing, a great boon to
me. It brought me health and vigor
such as I never expected to again en-
joy, and in gratitude never fail to
sound its praises" Name given by

Fight Against Suffragists.

Madison.-Thirty members of the
legislature have aligned themselves
with Miss Mary Swain Wagner,

RAP COMPULSORY FEATURE
Badger Farmers Aroused Over Tu-
berculin Test law-May Become
Vital Issue in State Politics.

Madison.-Is the tuberculin test
likely to upset the political map of
Wisconsin? Such thing would
seem not improbable from the state
ments made before the Joint COM
mittees of senate and assembly in
the assembly chamber, when the bills
relating to the tuberculin test law
were up for hearing. Farmers an
peared from all over the state, the
large part opposed to the law and a
few who believed the law was good
thing.
Threats were openly made that if
the compulsory test was to be con-
tinued the farmers of the state would
be heard from in a manner in which
the legislature would not like.
The objections raised were entire
ly against the compulsory feature of
the law. This was on account of it's
claimed unreliability. Properly ad-
mlnistered, SO there would be no
chance for mistakes, it was admitted
by all that the test was good thing
and the inference was that even
those who were opposing the COM
pulsory test would be glad to take
advantage of it if they could be
sure no mistakes would be made.
Case after case was cited by farm
ers and those speaking for the bill
to repeal the compulsory feature
where mistakes had been made in
testing cattle, as illustrative of the
unreliability of the present method.

BREAK WITH NATIONAL SHOW
Wisconsin Dairymen Form Associa-
ton for Holding an international
Exhibition in Milwaukee.

NJ | e e.-An international
dairy show is now assured for Mil
waukee some time next fall, proba-
bly, in October.
At meeting of more than Zoe
dairy breeders and representatives
of allied industries in the Audito-
rum, the International Dairy Show
association of Milwaukee was formed
with capital stock of $4,000 and
more than $4,000 was subscribed for
stock. A constitution and bylaws
was adopted and the articles of in
corporation will be filed at Madison.
Among the subscribers of the stock
were many of the most prominent
breeders in Wisconsin. Twice the
amount of stock might have been
sold, but it was determined to limit
the amount of stock one man NAV
buy IN order to enable as many
breeders, cheese and butter makers
and machinery men as possible to be-
come financially interested in the
new organization.
The gauge Of battle was thrown
down to the National Dairy Show
association during the discussion on
this subject of holding a show in
Milwaukee next fall when it was
voted to go ahead independently of
the National association.
eve feel the time is at hand when
Milwaukee should go it alone,'' said
j. Gilbert HickcOx, one of the best
known dairy breeders in the state
and a former officer of the National
Dairy Show association. eve feel
that Milwaukee has not been given
a fair deal by the officers of the
national association. The dairy show
held here in 1909 was the only sue
cessful show ever held. They came
here with the understanding that if
Milwaukee made good this city would
become the home of the National
Dairy show. Milwaukee made good.
The city turned out enthusiastically
and the show was greeted by crowd
ed houses. At it's close there was
balance on hand of $4,000. Every
previous show had been held at a
loss.
despite that fact, the directors
decided to hold the show in Chicago
in 1910. 1t was held there and it
was not a success. 1t was held at
financial loss as all other dairy
shows were except the Milwaukee

A more audacious toast, freighted

form:

GROWTH IN SUGAR PRODUCT
Federal Census Shows Great Gain
in Output of Wisconsin's Cane

Washington.-Unde the new CEN
sus of cane and beet sugar establish
ments, the state of Wisconsin, which,
In 1899, produced so small an
amount that it was included in a
group of states, has separate CLASH
6cation. The total value of her sugar
production in 1909 from four estab-
lishments was S1,366,000 against
b93S,00O in 1904. Granulated sugar
was valued at $1,249,0O0 and mo-
lasses at $4,000, an increase in the
latter produce from $4,000 five
years before.

Barmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from a
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished in that state by
act Of parliament. No more could be
legally engaged, but those already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 of them left,
and the competition for their serv-
ices Is such that their wages have
jumped from 25 shillings to G3 a
week The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.

Maiden Rock Swept by Fire.

Maiden Rock.-Engine sparks are
said to have caused a $4,000 fire
which laid seven buildings in ruins
and threatened to destroy this town.
G. Howard, while fighting the flames,
was badly burned, and the Rev. Mr..
Harris and David Taylor barely es-
capped with their lives. The blaze
started in the r. E. Jones warehouse
and sparks communicated it to near
by buildings. Only the most desper-
ate efforts of the volunteer fire fight
ers prevented the town from being
destroyed.

THE ETERNAL QUESTION.

Three meals a day is the endless
chain that encircles the housekeeper
with the never-ending problem Of what
to have to eat
II is not so much the daily duty
which disheartens and weighs upon
her; but the thought of three meals
a day through the years to come
smothers her with their accumulated
weight The old fable of the clock
which refused to work because 1t had
to tick so many times day, teaches
US a deep lesson: the clock was only
required to tick one tick at a time.
We need not bear the burdens Of the
future. nor give needless thought to
the days to come. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof"
One Of the things to be most thank
ful for is a good appetite, which usu-
ally goes with healthy body. Any
body who finds 1t necessary to cater
to finicky. fussy appetite certainly
needs sympathy, for there is nothing
more discouraging to the author of
good meal than the birdlike habit OF
turning over food and playing with It.
1t is to be regretted that the best
intentioned people in The world often
have no appetite, and they must be
fed and cared for just as we'll as those
who can digest shingle nails.
We must remember to appeal to tse
eye in preparing dishes and arranging
the table. II the eye Is pleased the
palate usually responds, and things
which taste good will be better di-
gested and will consequently better
build up the body and repair waste.
We learn that a mixed diet is not
only pleasanter but actually neces-
sary for our best. as is proven by the
variety of foods that a wise Provi-
dence provides for US.
Oily fish and pork are accompanied
with lemon and apple sauce, not only
because it appeals to the taste, but be-
cause the oil needs the acid to aid
in its digestion. We find that lamb
served with mint sauce, roast goose
with onions and sage are not combina-
tions following a fancy, but because
1t was discovered that the richness of
these foods is modified by the sauces.
So 1t Is well to remember that it Is
not wise to neglect these accessories
when serving such foods.
People past middle life will find
that the general health will be i'm
proved if they eat less. drink more,
worry less and play more.

LEFTOVER PROBLEMS.

When any bits of vegetables are left
over. if in white sauce, they may be
washed off and the vegetables added
to potato salad. Beets, string beans,
peas, green corn. tomatoes, and in fact
almost any vegetable improves the po-
tato salad. 1t is wise not to have
too many colors, like carrots and
beets, as the two do not look well to-
gether.
Any bits Of cold leftover meat may
be put through the meat chopper, sea-
soned. mixed with little salad dress
ing and used for sandwich filings.
A sponge cake pudding is a dessert
which will fill long-felt want. Cut
the cake in slices and between each
layer place layer of sliced dates
with the stones removed. Pour over
all custard made of two cups of
milk, the yolks of two eggs, half a cup
OF sugar and teaspoonful of flavor
ing. Bake twenty minutes or until the
custard is set. and spread over the
top meringue made with the whites
OF the eggs and half cup of sugar
Bake until brown.
The aim of every housekeeper is
to have no waste, and to be able to
serve the left-overs in such an at
tractive manner that they do not an
nounce themselves as left-overs, but
dish peculiarly pleasant, which
makes one long for more.
A delicious pudding sauce Is one
that needs no preparation at the time
of using. Just nice rich Juice poured
over the blanc mango or any simple
pudding. and If there are always few
bottles of grape juice on the shelves
Of the fruit closet and some cake in
the box, a dessert may be quickly pre-
pared.
When there are only few stalks of
celery and not enough for a meal,
stuff the stalks with cream cheese sea-
soned with paprika. Worcestershire
sauce and salt. The cheese may be
tinted a delicate green If desired.
Chill and serve as relish with the
dinner.
