Wisconsin's Chief Industry.

The dairy industry of Wisconsin is
one of the chief industries of the state.
The returns of the dairy interests to the
farmers of Wisconsin are greater than
the output Of the gold mines in the five
greatest gold producing districts of the
United States. The report of the
United States Treasurer shows in the
report Of the year 1910 that the gold
produced by the mines of Alaska,
California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado
was not as great as the production of
the dairy int. ests for the same year.
A gold mine can be exhausted but once
Every ton of ore removed reduces the
output of the future. The results Of
the dairy interests are the opposite.
AS the dairy interests increase in Wis
consin, fertility is restored to the soil,
and the farms made more productive.
No scientist as yet has been told
enough to fix the limit in this state.
With the state only half developed the
income from dairy sources is yet in it's
infancy because we are just learning
the possibilities of more highly devel
oped livestock, and the WEALTH they
can produce.--W II. Mylrea at Dairy
Convention.

Electric Power For the Jewelcr.

Electric Power For the Jewelcr.
There is probably no industry that
requires so little power as that of the
jeweler and matchmaker. And yet
considerable power is required for the
tiny lathe and brushes, and is necessary
that this power be very steady and reli
able with means for adjusting the
speed ut will. For these reasons tiny
electric motors are now almost univer
sally employed by jewelers. for their
machine work. These motors are
mounted beneath the benches, out of
the way, and they are controlled by n
little snap switch which starts, regu
lates the speed and reverses them at
will. The cost for power per day is
only few pennies, which is more than
counterbalanced in the increase in pro
duce and the quality Of the Finished
work

Those whose tendency is to run past the

At the End of the Rainbow
Just a Little More Advice.
By Strickland Gillian.

size me up We should ALWAYS be cram
ming for an examination. We are ex-
amined every day by some person who
never saw us before. What kind OF an
impression are you going to make. boy,
on that new person? Think it over.
I've found. after finding out everything
about five times, and always dlnerent.
that the best plan is to begin your ses ION
with every new acquaintance 10y aseer-
tanning in what particular or particulars
the other person is your superior. Then
you should make yourself admit this to
yourself. 1t will take you-after practice
about one-fourth as long to find the
other persons points OF superiority as 1t
will to screw up your courage to the point
Of admitting 1t to yourself.
After this painful task is done YOU may
take your time finding out your points of
superiority over him. For you have them,
about one-half as superior as you think
you are. And that's going some.
Don't waste too much time trying TO
find out what others think of you. Ii
you keep prying around after that infor-
nation you may really find out. and hon.
est, boy. it would break your heart!
Just figure. as dispassionately as pos
sible, how any one else. acting as you
have acted. would impress you. Then
figure on how much you have forgotten
about other peoples breaks compared
with how much you remember OF your
own. BY this method you may arrive at
a very humiliating but mainly comforting
answer to the problem as to how thor
oughly people do not think of you very
much of the time
1t isn't their bad opinion that hurts hall
go much as the realization that in the
main they are thinking OF something else.
In other words. it hurts less to find they
think very little of you than to find they
think of you very little.
Now that will he all. Il any OF you
make failure in life after absorbing
this slice of wisdom. don't blame me.

CARING FOR THE SICK

A nice drink for invalids is this: Put
into a glass two tablespoonfuls of
grape juice, add to this the beaten
white of an egg and little chopped ice.
Sprinkle sugar over the top and serve.
Strain the Juice from a quart of rasp-
berries and add the juice of one lemon
Sweeten with granulated sugar and add
Clipped ice as needed to make glass of
raspberry ice water.
A tablespoonful of currant jelly and the
same amount of lemon juice. with a dash
of nutmeg. is excellent to mix with ice
water, and quickly quenches the thirst.
An egg poached in scalded milk is
greatly improved in flavor. and the hot
milk can then be poured over the toasted
bread. Scald the milk in double boiler
and add salt, butter and pepper. This
makes an excellent breakfast dish for an
invalid.
Another delicate way to serve an egg is
to first cut the bread very thin with a
biscuit cutter and fry 1t a light brown IN
butter Sprinkle little parsley over 1t
and put a poached egg on top.
Quick relief for sick headache is found
by drinking half glass OF water to
which has been added one-half teaspoon
Nausea may be relieved by laying cloth
wet with spirits of camphor or turpentine
on the pit of the stomach. or cup or
black coffee, hot and strong, will often
relieve the condition. A cup of hot milk

wet cloth on the back of the neck with
towel folded smoothly over 1t will quiet

especially good in case Of a dull head
ache. An alcohol bath is restful and
soothing to feverish person. Use al
cohol in the proportion of .ne tablespoon
to a cup of cold water and apply With
sponge. When hot cloths are needed for
a patient, heat them in a steamer. This
method saves the hands and the cloths
are not drippy wet, condition which is
very annoying to the patient.
To make fiaxseed tea. take one table,
sugar, juice of one lemon and one cup
Of cold water. Wash the haxseed thor
oughly and put 1t into saucepan with
the cold water. Let it simmer for an
lemon juice and sugar and serve hot.

the upper sash of window to let the
