Oxygen for Athletes

From Harper's Weekly.
 Athletes in England sometimes inhale oxygen to strengthen their muscles and to increase their strength. Recently a professional boxer engaged in boxing match with a novice whose chief defect was lack of training. After the first round the novice was so exhausted that he was about to abandon the match. A doctor who was present administered a few whiffs of pure oxygen and the mo- vice immediately recovered his normal srength, and with 1t an impetus not nor nal. He returned to the game, and just missed giving the knockout blow to a very powerful adversary.
 The repetition of the experiment proved that inhalation of oxygen enable the sportsman to attain the maximum of his vigor and endurance.
 As result of this discovery special reservoirs with radiating tubes have been placed on sale for the benefit of the sportsman, who can now take oxygen as he formerly took oxygenated water.

Boils In Indian Village
Milwaukee Sentinel.

HIIWduHtt The government is boiling an Indian village in the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming.
 Everything about the settlement-te- pees, clothing, blankets. harness, etc. that can be boiled is being subjected to that treatment to destroy traces of small pox.
 This village is where 100 Indians were quarantined while they suffered from smallpox in a mild form. There were no
 deaths and the quarantine is practi- |cally lifted. The hot water method of disinfection
 was resorted to because the Indians more
 readily understand 1t.

used to write poetry. In a certain bu-

peeps, there Is an old portfolio In which
as school girl she kept copies OF what

pages she stiles a sigh. She has no
time to spend in idle regret, for Harry

she must run down. tie up the wounded

whatever except judgment for costs
was melted out to this wholesale law
breaker
The court deemed it too stringent
even to command the trust to quit it's
lawbreaking too suddenly. Six months
is allowed it to reorganize in such form
as to, within the law, and the lower
court may extend this period sixty
days. In the meantime it can go on
doing business as of yore.
The new organization which will be
formed will be judicially presumed to
be innocent as a new born babe, and
can proceed to conduct business accord
ing to the dictates of whatever takes
the place of conscience in a corpora
ton. After a few years the govern
ment can again secure evidence of vio-
lation of the law, and perhaps secure
from the supreme court another mild
rebuke for the trust. Isn't the pros
pect pleasing?

LaFollette has been charged with be-
ing demagogue because he attacks
law-breaking railroads. Standpatters
assert that charges of law breaking by
the railroads are utterly false, that
they obey the laws willingly and
gladly, and that it is an almost criminal
attack on business to say anything de-
rogatory about these captains of indus
try. Yet, after nearly quarter of a
century in which rebating has been
forbidden by law, the Interstate Com
merce Commission has discovered a
fragrant violation of that law. A num-
Der of eastern railroads gave the stee!
trust a special rate on coke by means
of a thin disguise. A regular rate of
S. IS was made on coke from Atlantic
points to Chicago, while coke to be
used for smelling iron ore was given a
rate of $2.35. AS the steel trust is
the only shipper that uses coal near
Chicago for that purpose. this was
plainly a discrimination in favor of the
trust. Aren't the railroad managers
the innocent boys!

COOPERATIVE EXPERIMENTS
IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN

The northern substation of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station of the
University of Wisconsin is doing ex-
tensive cooperative experimental work
with farmers in the northern half of
the state, during the present season.
This work is continuation of similar
work carried on during the last four
seasons but on somewhat larger
scale. At the present time over 400
farmers are making tests with differ
ent crops, including alfalfa, barley,
corn, oats, soy beans and wheat.
This work includes the dissemination
of three varieties of corn Wisconsin
No. 8, Wisconsin No. Is, and Wisconsin
No. IL, several varieties of wheat, ped
igree barley and a limited amount of
Wisconsin Early Black soy beans. In
addition to these general tests where
the farmer grows only one variety,
planting one acre or more for exper-
mental purposes, the station has
planned several tests of a more definite
nature for different localities in the
north central part of the state. The
object is to ascertain, if possible, the
most profitable variety of corn to grow
for each locality where the test is be-
ing made.
Such experimental work as that
named in The last class, is being car
ried on in Clark, Rusk, Lincoln and
Marinette counties. In Clark county,
in addition to the test with corn, a
similar test to determine the best var
ieties of peas is being made, and in
Rusk county with wheat, peas and

ton. The twelve children entering the
school showed an average gain of two
pounds, some pupils gaining four
pounds. Attendance was almost per-
feet, more interest was taken in school
work, the physical condition of the
pupils became more nearly normal, and
the school has become so popular the
attendance has grown tolls.

physical improvement and restoration
of sick and anaemic children, the open
air school is success" said Super

school work regularly. The discipline
is easy and the attendance almost per-

several pupils is that, in five weeks,
the school will close
