CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation Of the
mucous membrane Of the throaD, and
II this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in a glas-
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
Iy relieve all soreness and strengthen
The mucous membrane Of the throat,
md thus overcome all tendency to
500 throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid en-
hseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, % and SOC box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt Of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

GOVERNOR VISITS
NATIONAL GUARD
McGovern Greeted BY a Salute
of Seventeen Guns.
PRIZES GIVEN TO SOLDIERS
Capt. Armitage of Company A, Mil
waukee, Wins First of Senior Regi-
mental Trophies-SiIver Low
ing Cup to Col. Morrison.

Madison--A salute of seventeen guns
and a stirring march by the regiment
al band greeted Governor McGovern,
as he rode up to the gate of the res
ervation for his first official visit to
the Wisconsin National guard.
The governor presented the prizes
won at officers school, Capt. Armi-
tage, company A, Milwaukee, winning
the first Of the senior regimental
prizes; Capt. Garlock, Fond du Lac,
second senior prize; Lieut.. Langhoff
and Lieut.. Lindamann, company A,
the junior regimental prizes
There were great doings after the
company returned from parade over
the fact that two of the four regi-
mental prizes had been won by the
two officers from that command who
had attended officers school, The
regiment is equally enthusiastic over
the fact that both general prizes, to
which all state guard officers are elig-
IDLE, have been won by First regiment
men.
Col. Morrison was then called for
by GOV. McGoVern, who made an adj
dress telling Of the great work of Col.
Morrison, and then presented to him
a silver loving cup as a token of the
esteem Of the officers of the First
regiment. Three rousing cheers were
given by the regiment for the col
onel and the men were sent back to
their quarters.
The governor did not waste any
time in camp. He inspected every
thing from headquarters to commits
sary and showed an interest and en-
thusiasm for guard work which betok-
ems strong executive support for the
organization.
Exercise 6, the normal attack, with
ball cartridges, was executed with a
perfection, from a tactical point of
view, which won the applause Of the
regular army instructors.
The hits have no effect upon the
markings, but are interesting for pur-
poses Of comparison. The number of
hits of the companies are as follows:

state Commission Meets at Madison.

State Commission mccIs DIT Mad son.
The Wisconsin highway commission.
as named under tho law passed re-
Gently by the legislature, met at Madi-
son and organized by the selection of
J. A. Hazlewood of Jefferson as presi-
dent and w. o. Hotchkiss of the Wis
consin geological survey as secretary
The other members of the commission
are John S. Owen Of Eau Claire, j. H.
Van Doven of Birnamwood and Dean
F. E. Turneauer of the college CT en-
cheering of the university.
The commission discussed informal
ly a general plan and decided that
board constructive policy, so far as
the law would permit, should be out
lined and that whatever is done should
follow the best thought of the coun-
try to the end that a comprehensive
plan of redistricting may result. The
commission has taken over the en-
ployes Of the Highway division of the
geological survey and they will, for
the present at least, constitute the
working force of the board.
A. R. Hirst will continue in charge
Of roadwork: M. w. Torkelson will
look after bridge construction, and
Miss Bessie Brewer will act as chief
clerk of the new division. The en-
ployment Of more engineers to COM
plete the work taken over from the
geological survey also was authorized.
Office quarters will soon be arranged
for.
Under the law no state aid is avail
able until 1919, and SO the work which
the new commission can do for the
present, outside the continuation of
that which has been done In the past
by the geological survey, must be
largely anticipatory of the time when
the tax Is collected and funds are
available. In fact, the new law is
but an extension, so far as aid is
concerned, of the old system of coun-
ty aid, the state paying one-third
the bills.
However, the commission is given
supervisory powers to see that the
money Of the state is wisely expend-
ed, and to assist in solving many of
the engineering and CONSTITUTIONAL
problems that arise. For the present,
towns, cities and villages will be given
assistance in an engineering way as
heretofore.
The commission plans to issue cir
cular soon to city, village and town Of
ficials explaining the new highway
law and directing them how to pro-
coed to secure state aid when 1t be-
comes available.

Then Senator La Toilette, who has
been one of the strongest opponents
of reciprocity, sent forward his amend

Senator Bailey, of Texas, offered the
free list as a handicap to the bill.
He lost, 10 to SO. Then Bailey, with
defiance to his Democratic colleague
Of the cotton states, played his master
stroke.
II offer as an amendment to put cot
ton bagging and ties upon the free
list" was his appeal to the cotton
Democrats, of Dixie.
There was nervous stir among the
senators who represent the realm
where cotton is king. But the line
never wavered. The ranks were firm.
Only Johnson, of Alabama, fell in
with Bailey, giving him II votes to 62.

Warden Resigns From States Prison.
Henry Town rendered his resigna
ton as warden of the state prison to
the state board of control at it's SEES

ignation was accepted. A successor
has not yet been named.
Warden Town denies that formal
charges of any nature had been pre-
ferred against him or that any such
charges had precipitated his resigna.
ton. Denying rumors that President
Graebner of the board Of control had
received his resignation three weeks
ago, Mr.. Town declared that he had
not handed his resignation to the
board at that time He made no ex-
PLANTATION of his action.
Despite denials by members Of the
board, conditions at Waupun have
been far from peaceful for some time
past Recently Rev. Daniel Woodward
predicted a most sweeping probe of
the institutions management, but
President Graebner was equally insist.
ent that the prophesy was without
foundation. Warden Towns resigna-
ton clears the atmosphere and prob
ably will obviate further action.
Persons close to prison affairs say
that practically all the guards were
united in criticising the warden, and
that except for his resignation, charges
would nave been pressed, the board
being ready to sift them if formally
presented.
Rev. Daniel Woodward of Omro, a
member Of tho board Of control has
been placed in charge of the prison
temporarily.

Results of Tariff Changes.
The estimated results of these
changes in the tariff rates between
Canada and the United States is that
this country gives up duties to the
amount of $4,850,000, while Canada
gives up $2,56O,O00. The total value
of the goods this country will admit
free is given at $39,800,000; the total
value of the goods Canada admits free
is given at $21, 100000. This country
reduces duties on imports valued at
1881, 900; Canada reduces duties on
commodities valued at $25, 1910, 900.
The total value of the articles adj
mitted into the United States, that
are affected by the reduction in duties
is given at SAT, 100000. The value of
the articles admitted into Canada, that
are affected by the reduced rates, is
given at $47,S2S, 600.
The Canadian parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement and with
one exception the provisions of the
bill as passed by congress will not
become effective until the president
issues a proclamation that Canada has
ratified the pact.
The exception to this procedure is
in the paper and pulp section of the
bill, which, it is announced, will be.
