DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong 1t is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Art-
IONA man says:
For years 1 could not safely eat
any breakfast. l tried all kinds OF
breakfast foods, but they We're all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me-
distressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
"a friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods.

advice.
"'The change they have worked In

of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and never have
any headaches. / have gained II
pounds in weight and feel better in

NeWs Notes of Wisconsin

Misunderstanding is in progress
here. This is not due to the fact
that Wausaukees climate has become
rival of that in the southern states,
but to the fact that the first heavy
snow of last winter covered a large
quantity of mown hay, which has
been preserved throughout the win
ter without damage, and is now being
stacked. Large crops of potatoes are
also being taken from the ground.
MadisOn.-The state railroad COM
mission has ordered the Milwaukee
and 500 roads to refund to the Me-
nasha Paper company of Ladysmith
S59S.7O as overcharges on shipments
of pulpwood from Ellis Junction and
Stiles to Ladysmith. The railroad
companies charged joint rate of 10
cents per 100 pounds, which the COM
mission decided was 3 II cents more
than they should have charged
Fond du Lac.-The "sweet girl
graduate' joke will not apply at
North Fond du Lac this year, as
Harold Shide1 is the whole high
school graduating class, valedictorian,
salutatorian, president and all the
rest of the officers. Despite this fact
the June exercises will be elaborate,
as Shidel is the first class to graduate
from the school.
Racine-Because she was interest
ed in a book and stopped under an
arc light in the middle Of railway
crossing here to read, Dagner Ander-
son, aged II, did not hear an ap-
preaching passenger train and was
thrown fifty feet, sustaining a COM
pound fracture Of the right leg
Racine. = Constance Dimbrowski,
a milliner, will probably inherit a
fortune of 100000 bequeathed to her
by Rufurt Wickham, who died in his
apartments in her store building,
where he had been living for some
years.
Madison.-"Clean up" is the APP
neal made by State Fire Marshal Pur-
tell to every citizen of the state in a
bulletin in which he declares that
the accumulation of rubbish during
| the winter constitutes fire menace
in the spring and also serves as a
breeding place for germs.
| Wausau.-Orders have been issued
| here that in the future all saloons
| shall be closed at l o'clock in the
| morning and remain closed until
and on Sunday shall remain closed
until noon. Previous to this time
| the KEYS have never been used.

TREASURED SECRET WAS OUT
Evidently Had Got Him Into
Serious Trouble

The referee had swallowed the
whistle. 1t was very unfortunate, but
it was not his fault. A burly forward
had charged him fairly in the center
of his back, sending the whistle down
his throat
The game must end!" cried some
one. 1--WE can't do without a whistle"
Its all right" gasped the referee.
I've got substitute. You can go on"
He produced latch key from his
pocket, and as the game commenced
blew several hearty blasts on his new
whistle
Suddenly a woman's voice, loud and
angry was heard above the roar Of
the game:
Ferdinand what does this mean,
sir! Where did you get that latch
key"
Then Ferdinand skunk off the field,
for the voice was the voice of his

Grasps Forces of Nature.

A mans mastery over the beasts
is not due to his superior strength.
The elephant can push him over, the
horse can pull more, and the lion can
best him naked and bare handed.
But he controls the brutes simply be-
cause he is wise enough to reach up
and get hold of forces in nature more
powerful than either the animals or
himself.
