Protected By Electricity

a man whose house had been invaded
by burglars devised a scheme for his
protection which has been copied by
hundreds of nervous individuals the
country over, Now, whenever he
hears IA suspicious noise in the house,
he does not prowl around inviting
bullet or a crack over the head. In
stead he simply reaches out TO the wall
beside the bed and touches an electric
button. Instantly the whole house is
flooded with electric light, which in
itself is enough to brighton away any
ordinary burglar. But, not satisfied
with this, he touches another button
and big electric gong, located in the
front hall, begins to ring out its
clamorous warning. This is enough to
trighten away any midnight prowler

Death Of Mrs. L. w. English of
BarahOO.

The Baraboo Democrat of March ID
contained the following notice of the
death of Mrs. T. W. English, niece of
the late James Weber of this place:
Mrs. T. w. English died suddenly
at 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon at the
Knowlton hospital in Milwaukee where
she was taken the day before by her
husband and daughter, Miss Tillie, for
consultation and possibly an operation.
She apparently withstood the trip very
well and as the physicians decided to
await further developments before
deciding upon an operations and as her
condition did not appear critical Mr..
English returned home that night. At
o'clock Saturday morning he received
message telling him to hasten to
Milwaukee, as Mrs. English was sink
ing rapidly. In company with his
daughter Miss Zero, and his brother,
DR.. j. E. English, he left on the morn
ing train and arrived in Milwaukee
shortly after 10 o'clock, but not soon
enough to see Mrs. English alive.
Deceased is survived by her husband
and two daughters-Miss Tillie and
Miss Izera Virginia-and one son Harry.
The remains were brought to Baraboo
and the funeral was held at the home
on Ash street Monday afternoon. Ser
vices We're conducted by Rev. E. c.
Henke, pastor of fine Presbyterian
church.
Among those from out of town in
attendance at the funeral were Mrs. E.
Weber, Beloit; Mr.. and Mrs. Richards,
Mineral Point; Mrs. Charles Gorst,
Phil Cramer, Mendoza; Mrs. Bessie
McNulty, Spring Green; Miss Anne
Donaghey, North Freedom; Mrs. Geo.

FAIR CIRCUIT FOR1912
Formed at Darlington March IL,
by Representatives of Various
Fairs.

Formed at Darlington March IL,
by Representatives of Various
Fairs.
The Darlington Democrat. March Ia;
A meeting of the representatives of
the following fairs. Boscobel, Mineral
Point, Darlington, Platteville, Ian.
caster, Warren and Galena, was held in
Darlington, on Monday for the purpose
OF discussing various matters of com.
mon interest and the forming of
racing circuit for the present year.
While the representatives declined to
bind their respective associations,
canvass of the situation showed that
the majority of the fairs represented
were opposed to any advance in ad-
mission fees.
The matter of special attractions was
considered and definite action deferred
until the first of April. There was a
strong sentiment among those present
to cut out the vaudeville and acrobatic
acts, which have been made part of
the fair entertainment for some years,
and use the money thus expended for
some more legitimate purpose.
There has been considerable agita-
ton looking to uniformity of the
premium lists. The representatives at
this meeting, after talking the matter
over, decided that the only uniformity
practicable was along the lines of
uniformity in classes, and an action
was taken at this meeting to secure
such uniformity. This is a step in the
right direction and we believe it will
meet with the approval of all the
breeders and exhibitors.
After the fair matters had been dis
posed of, racing circuit was organized
embracing Boscobel, Mineral Point.
Platteville, Darlington, Warren and
Galena, with one more fair to be added.
The circuit will be known as the Wis.
consin and Illinois Fair and Racing
Circuit. T. M. Priestley was elected
president and F. S. Knapp secretary of
the organization.
A canvass of the representatives
present at this meeting showed that
there will be a general advance in the
amount of premiums offered by all of
the fairs represented.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children
Only the very greatest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good, They may cause gripping
nausea and other distressing after
effects that are frequently health de-
stroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee ReXall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy, which we
know, for constipation and associate
bowel disorders We have such alb
solute faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance where it
fails to give entire satisfaction, and we
urge all in need of such medicine to
try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
ing as regulative tonic upon the
relaxed muscular coat of the bowel,
thus overcoming weakness, and aiding
TO restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly complete
ly relieve constipation, except of course
when a surgical character, They also
tend to overcome the necessity of con-
stantly taking laxatives to keep the
the bowels in normal condition Three

ButtcFnlilk as a Food

Buttermilk is growing in favor as
a beverage. In many hotels and on
lunch counters, it is sold and the de-
mand seems to be increasing. 1t is
reported that it is replacing beer in
many countries where beer has been
SO commonly used.
Buttermilk contains considerable
food value. According to Farmers
Bulletin No. 4S6, it contains on an
average: water, 81: protein, 3; fat,
%; carbohydrates, AS; ash, OF per
cent. 1t contains about the same con-
stituents as skinned milk, but the
protein in buttermilk is more easily
digested than that in the skinned
milk, and for this reason physicians
often prescribe buttermill< for children
and invalids, especially those suffering
from interestinal troubles.
Protein is the most expensive ele-
ment in food and the one that il
most likely to be needed in the ordin-
airy, everyday fare, hence buttermill1
is a most excellent drink to use at
meal time.
Two and one-half quarts of butter
milk or SKINNED milk contain about
the same amount of protein as one
pound of round steak and cost about
one-fourth as much. 1t is also said
that two quarts of milk has a greater
nutritive value than one quart of oys-
tiers. The nutrient in the form of
oysters would cost from 80 to so cents,
while the skinned milk or buttermilk
would have value on the farm of
from two to four cents.
Buttermilk is appetizing and re-
freShing. In very warm weather,
there is nothing more refreshing than
a glass of cool buttermilk. 1t relieves
thirst and obviates the necessity of
drinking cold water when one Is ex-
tremely warm.
