CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to tho food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience of a Kansas City
mother IS a case in point:
81 was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought could not do with
out It. But I found at last 1t was do
ing me harm. For years I had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
which was added, two years later, a
chronic sour stomach.
THE baby was born z months ago,
and almost from the beginning. 1t, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
In nv distress I consulted friend
of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk. 1 have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
so, quit coffee and tried tea and
with me- Then 1 turned to Postum
with the happiest results. 1t proved
to be the very thing I needed. 1t not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself, but it increased the flow OF
my milk.
my husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well OF
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. no longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain in my
heart or sour stomach.
Nov we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name given

Another freak bill is one by Sen

public more than it does the railroad

which prevails in practically all rail-
road eating houses, and is likely to re-
ceiye the support of the Legislature.

WIfely Sollcftude.

Appealing to the police to find her
husband, who went to work and had
not returned home at eight o'clock,
but requesting that the officers Meth
or arrest nor talk cross to him, a
woman left a note in the hands of
Patrolman Hickerson at Sixth and Ed
mond streets containing information
concerning the missing husband.
The note In addition to giving a de-
scription of the missing man read
that the wife was worried nearly sick
because it was the first time that he
had done this"

Pass Civil Court Bill.

The senate passed the bill dividing
the civil court of Milwaukee county
into seven branches and numbering
them. Senator Gaylord attempted, as
a member of the judiciary committee,
to introduce a minority report of the
committee on the Stern bill providing
for nonpartisan judicial elections in
port with substitute amendment in
the form of new bill.
Senator Weigle objected and Presi-
dent Pro Tempore Martin, who was
in the chair, sustained the objection
Senator Gaylord gave six reasons
for his minority report against the
Stern bill. The first was that the
title was defective because it did not
state that the principle of majority
elections was not contained in the
bill, second that it involved needless
expense in requiring a primary cleo
ton when not more than two candi-
dates were up for judicial Office;
third, that it would prevent any aid
being given the voter by which he
could recognize the character, asso-
citation, previous connection or gen.
eral political or economical princi-
pies of the candidates; fourth, that It
provides for an election without legal
notice; fifth, that inasmuch as it ap-
plies only to Milwaukee county 1t vio-
lates the constitutional provision pro-
hibiting special legislation for any
that it would necessitate a registra,
ton of voters.

Urges Cooperation Among Farmers,

Urges Cooperation Among Farmers,
That the organization of every
branch of agriculture along co-opera-
tive lines is essential to the greatest
success in American farming, was the
keynote of the address given by Sir
Horace Plunkett, the Irish agricultur-
al economist and member of parlia-
ment before the members of the leg
islature in the assembly chamber on
THE State, the University and the
Farmer"
"The legislature and the University
of Wisconsin acting in cooperation
have to their credit already a monu-
mental achievement in agricultural
made in any other state in the union,
and perhaps in any other common
wealth of the world" declared the
speaker, "but there is still a weak
spot in your rural economy which ex-
lists throughout the area dominated
by urbanized Anglo-Saxon ideas. The
remedy for this belongs rather to
the sphere Of organized voluntary eff
fort, rather than to state action. But
where the state with profound wisdom
is dealing with these problems
through this great center of thought

TORCHLAKE
FIGHTING TONNAGE TAX.
Rep. Happier Makes Strong Argu'
ments Before Capital Grange.

At a recent meeting of Capital
Grange at Lansing the question of the
proposed tonnage tax on mines was
discussed by Representatives Freder-
lex Happier of Lake Linden and III. c.
MlcNitt of Wexford. MIR. Happier the
position that the proposed measure
was unjust and inadequate and that
it would not accomplish the things
claimed by its advocates. He said
that the cost of production varied so
much in the different mines that the
burden of taxation would not be even
ly distributed; the low grade mines
bearing more than their share of the
taxes. He also claimed that what
ever method of taxation was adopt
ed that the workmen employed in the
mines would be obliged to suffer a
decrease in wages equal TO the raise in
taxes. The speaker further asserted
that it would not be fair to handicap
Michigan mines with a tonnage tax
when the mines of Montana and Ariz-
ona were not so taxed.

OF FLOUR
AT Low LEVEL
is CHEAPEST 1T HAS BEEN IN
SEW ERAL YEARS OW-
ING TO DROP IN
WHEAT.

A decline of a few cents In wheat
prices has been chiefly the cause of
placing the flour market on a lower
level than it has occupied for some
time.
Millers have not quoted such low
prices for standard goods at any time
In the present crop year as they are
now willing to accept. 1t is several
years since some grades could be
bought at as moderate cost as at
present The product of well known
soft winter wheat mill is offered at
$4.65 a barrel for patent and $42O for
clear or pastry -four. These are the
lowest prices which this mill has
quoted within the last four years.
1t is said that buyers can place con-
tracts with most mills at practically
their own prices, so limited is the vol
ume of business coming forward and
so active is the competition between
millers to secure il. For spring wheat
patent the range of quotations is from
$5.25 to $500 a barrel for supplies i'm
wood packages. There have been sales
OF standard first patent at $500 and
flour at the same price one of the
most popular brands on the market
sold today at $40 and there are lib
eral offerings from Minneapolis and
Northwestern milling centers at
around $3.50 with few takers.
There is no question about the
cheapness of flour, so far as the mills
are concerned. Whether the consumer
is getting the benefit of recent reduc-
lions in prices is another feature
which depends on the individual atti-
tude of the retailer. The cheapness of
flour is accentuated by it's price rela-
tionship with other foods. It's cost is
relatively low and in view of this fact
II is surprisingly that it is not NOV
ing i'm trade channels more freely. The
wholesale trade shows n slight i'm
provement, leading houses experience
ing an improved volume of business n
the last week or two. Supplies are run
ming short in many instances and are
being replenished by moderate pur-
chases, The demand, however, is not
what it should be in view of the lower
prices. There is absolutely no specula-
ton connected with the -four business
Buyers are not looking forward and
are coming into the market only to
meet immediate demands.
Mills report no improvement in bus
mess. The situation is discouraging.
New business not only is dull but ship
ping instructions on old contracts are
again difficult to obtain 1t is said
that one reason why buyers do not
take hold more literally is found in the
fact that many of them are loaded up
with high cost -four which they can
not get rid of except at loss. Under
the circumstances they are not inclined
to place additional contracts regardless
of how attractive prices may seem.
Kansas -four is still giving trouble, the
trade having more or less on hand
which is of unsatisfactory quality and
which moves slowly in the channels of
consumption.

MADAME X IS
A GREAT PLAY
ATTRACTION TO BE SEEN HERE
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT is
HIGHLY PRAISED BY
THE PRESS.

Concerning Madame X" to be pre-
scented at the Calumet theater next
Monday night, the Peoria Herald
Transcript has the following to say:
Mere words are inadequate to de-
scribe the emotions felt as the curtain
drops on the last act of Madame X.
which opened at the Majestic last
evening, and one must see the play
to feel the power of the drama.
1t is a play from the pen of that
gifted French dramatist, Alexandra
Bsson. 1t is a play that stirs the
human soul-the soul of cruelty
wronged woman-and should be seen
by every man and woman i'm Peoria
for IL is better than a sermon. Few
there are In this world who have not
at some time or other had some great
sorrow come into their lives and who
have not experienced the same tinge
of deep remorse as did Jacqueline Flo
riot after she had deserted her hus-
band and child-possibly not i'm exact
ly the same way-but all the same the
remorse was as deeply seated and the
tears just as genuine. For this rea-
son the sympathy felt for the fall u
woman is deeper and keener.
1t is the old story of mother love
predominating no matter how sorely
tried, and Bison has handled his pot
in clever way-has given just The
conclusion, in fact the only conclu-
sion, that would make the play the
strong porduction that it is.
The part of cqueline-Madame Y
is admirably enacted by Mabel Mont
AS Jacqueline, the penitent wife, and
later as the woman who refused to di-
vulge her name or give the slightest
hint of her past, she is wonderful and
through all the unhappy circumstances
she exhibits nothing but genius. Too
much could not possibly be said in re-
gard to her acting. Frank Wright as
Raymond Floriot, her son, displays a
clever bit of acting, especially in the
court scene where his wonderful plea,
a plea that brings tears to the hearts
of the sternest judges and his ovation
was almost as great as that of Miss
Montgomery.
Madame X has killed her lover La
rogue, a gambler, because he discov-
ers her identity and is going to extort
large sums of money from her hus-
band, Louis Floriot Not wishing her
son to know of her down fall she kills
Laroque. When her case comes to
trial Raymond is the counsel for the
defense, not knowing that his client
is his mother, and the plea that he
presents for this woman is the most
stirring scene i'm the whole play.
The play will be presented at the
Majestic this afternoon and evening"
the matinee beginning promptly at
9:15 and the evening performance at
S:15, owing to the great length of the
production.
