to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or carthartics do
much harm. They cause reaction

tend to make constipation more

Constipation is caused by a weak

the large intestines or descending

you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.

The legislative committee appointed
to visit the charitable and pC0al insti-

state has already inspected the state
tuberculosis sanitarium at Wales.

ditions are generally satisfactory.
The committee believes that as the
institution is always filled TO capacity
and there are now 60 on the waiting
list, 1t should be enlarged.
ID. G. A. Harper of Madison. mem
Der OF the committee. said that bill
is being prepared to require the diff
ferent counties TO take care Of adj
vanced cases OF the disease. He de-
clares that 90 per cent. Of the deaths
at county institutions are due to tu-
berculosis and that IL counties took
preventative measures, the ravages OF
the disease could be checked.
According to Doctor Harper. 40 per
cent. of the patients go away from
the institution at Wales either entire
ly cured or with the disease arrested
so that the complete cure is affected
later.
The committee will visit the insti-
tutions in the northern part of the

Bancroft Threatens Commission
at Hearing.
HALT CALLED ON NEW BILLS
No More individual Measures VIII BE

Weeks Session According to
Speaker ingram.

Madison.--At a hearing before the
civil service commission Of his petit
ton that the office of second attorney
general be exempt from the merit
rule, Attorney General Levi H. Ban
croft. indicated that if the commission
did not comply with his request he
would use the machinery Of his office
in an effort to wipe out the civil
service.
Bancroft desires to appoint B. J.
Castle. and the commission has certi-
fed. the names OF three lawyers who
stood at the top of the list in the
examination for the place The po-
sition has been vacant ever since the
last incumbent. Frank T Tucker.

ton for attorney general. was mys-
teriously drowned at Oshkosh, few
days before the primary last August,
The commission took the matter un-
der advisement, but it probably will
refuse to exempt the position

the office of district attorney of For

charges of misconduct. failed to APP
pear before the governor in response
to a summons, and lie will be given
20 days to file an answer TO the
charges with the governor, and A. c.
Umbreit. who has been appointed
temporarily in his place.
No more bills may be introduced by
individuals after the close of next
weeks sessions, according to the con-
struction of the rules by Speaker In
gram of the assembly, and it has just
been discovered that this is the reason
why no action ever was taken upon
various resolutions calling for the
stoppage of new matter after certain
dates. The rule was adopted at the
last session, but owing 10 extensive
revision accomplished this year and
the fact that the wv books contain.
ing the manual were not distributed,
It had not occurred to anyone to find
out il that rule had been affected by.
the changes. Therefore, there was
some surprise when Speaker Ingram
announced that it still was in force,
and that its provisions would be in
voked. as they provide that no new
bills shall be received after the fifth
week" of the session. He added further
that the committee on legislative
procedure, of which he is ex-ofticio
chairman, would oppose any extension
OF the time limit.
This means that the number of
measures introduced at this session
will be smaller than any IN recent
| history. Two years ago the total
number of new bills was 1000. but up
to date the $50 mark has just about
been reached, counting bills In the
hands of the revision committees.

State Fair Board Must Pay Bad Debt.

Another glaring instance of mis-
management by the state board
of agriculture was revealed when II
developed that the members of the en-
tire board would have to pay $1,000
out of their own pockets because the
managers and the secretary neglected
to require an indemnifying bond OF a
contractor who failed TO pay for mate
rial and labor used In carrying out a
contract for the erection OF building
on the state fair grounds.
The neglect OF the managers and
the secretary to follow the law was
the principal matter of discussion at
a meeting of the full board. The de
faulting contractor was West Allis
man. who was given a contract for
furnishing the material and erecting
the building for $4,000. He was not
required to give a bond to indemnify
the state against any claims arising
from the contract. The law clearly
requires that II the board does secure
such bond they are personally liable
for subsequent claims arising from the
contract After finishing the building
the contractor was paid the $4,000
Then he disappeared.
President George McKerrow and
Secretary True OF the board admitted
that the contractor had not been re-
quired to give bond. as the law pro
vided, but attempted to excuse the
neglect by saying that he had exc
cuted other contracts with the board
without giving a bond and they
thought he would do so this time.
President McKerrow suggested that a
committee be appointed to present the
matter to the legislature and ask for
the passage Of bill authorizing the
board to pay the $1,000 out OF the
funds of the board.
