CAUSE AND CURE
OF DYSPEPSIA
Thin Blood to Blame in Many
Cases and a Blood Tonic the
Right Remedy.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition of the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for a large
part of it's nourishment; while every
act of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause of indiges-
ton is an;emia, or lack of blood. In
deed there is not single disturbance OF
the health of the body nor any form OF
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure in
digestion than plenty of pure, wel-ox-
idized blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People increase the red corpus
cles, the oxygen-carriers Of the blood,
until the blood is rich and red. A
thorough trial of these pills gives
hearty appetite, perfect digestion,
strength and health.

dress is Box 432, Olyphant, Pa, says:

Bv the Plaintiff.

Mr.. Ruggles of the firm of Ruggles
d FrenZ, attorneys for the plaintiffs,
says: L is impossible to say what the
Judgment Of the court may be or in
whose favor it will be, W" en- it is
handed down on the special verdict
found by the jury. At the time the
building was built, about fourteen
hundred dollars in deductions were
made from the contract price OF the
builder on account of defects. Whether
the architects will be held liable
for those defects paid for by
the contractor, is legal point yet to
be decided The case bristles with
legal points and undoubtedly the It'll
cation is but fairly started. The cost to
the county of trying the case, outside
of witnesses and other expenses of the
litigants, will amount in round num-
bers to about two thousand dollars.
There were many expert witnesses
from Milwaukee, including such noted
men as HI. P. Schnetzky, F. Hartman,
s. J. Brockman, E. Eschweiler and
others. These witnesses were unani-
NOUS in their praise of the building
and stated that it was remarkably
strong, substantial and we'll built
structure. The difficulty largely arose
out of the misfortune in regard to the
plastering, which, according to the un-
dispu' ed evidence, was changed by an
agreement by the contractor and the
school board without the consent of
the architects. The pIastering has
since been replaced by the contractor
without expense to the city.

Architects Must Pay City
Instead of City Paying
Architects.
CASE ON TRIAL 8 DAYS
Decision Comes from II
Men in Form Of Special
Verdict.

After being on trial for eight days
the case of Van Ryn & DeGelIeke, the
Milwaukee architects, came to con-
clusion On Saturday evening and re-
suited in the city, instead of the archl-
tects, getting a verdict. Instead OF
there being anything due the men who
drew the plans and superintendent the
erection of the Baraboo high school
building, they must pay the city $87 81
and all the costs unless a different re-
suit is reached in higher court. The
amount asked by the architects was
about 81 ,O0G and this is lost, together
with the amount named by the jury
and the costs which is $500 or 500
more. A number of experts were
called and the list of witnesses is long
so that the costs will amount to con-
siderable.

Man Not Bear
GATE TIE
Scare.

A few years ago my cousin, Louie
MieIke, was in the habit of going to
my neighbor, Herman Kapelke. So
one night Louie started out for this
place with torch in his hand. This
torch was made of an old oil can with
piece of rag in the hole of the can,
which was filled with oil.
Louie walked along very fast, thin )
ing there were not any bears in this
part of the country But as he reach
ed bushy place near the road he hap
pened to look up and saw something
dark i'll the brush. His heart began
to thump and he did not know what
to do. He did not stop to look for the
second time to see what it was but
took to his heels and ran to the place
where he wished to go, stumbling and
falling as he ran and saying, "Bearh!
Bearhv" He never stopped to look
around to see where the bear was. He
reached the house but nearly broke in
the door by the high speed he had.
His neighbors in the house were
frightened as he pushed in the door
and they asked him what was the
matter. He was all out Of breath and
all he could say was "Bearh''
| "Bearh!" Soon it was learn
ed this YVES not real bear,
but Mr.. Kapelke who was going to his
neighbor ard seeing Louie coming
across the hill, stopped down in the
brush, which made Louie believe it
| was a be- Or.
Louie did not care much about going
back home that night. Soon Mr.. Ka-
pelke came and ASKED him what was
the matter. Louie then started to tell
| him what he had seen down the road.
They all started to laugh at him. 1t
happened that Louie did not have a
| weapon with him that night or it
would have been a dead man Instead
of joke.

Story Of the Case.

After the old high school building
burned in February, 1906, the superin-
tendent, G. w. Gehrand, went to Mil
waukee to secure architects for new
building and Van Ryn & DeGelleke as
we'll as Ferry & Glass responded with
plans and specifications. The former
firm estimated the cost to be about
SIS 900 and this would not exceed the
limit to which the city might be bond
ed. The board of education accepted
the plans of Van Ryn q DeGelIeke
and when bids were asked the lowest
was about $50, 900. The plans were
then changed which cheapened the
proposed building and brought the
cost down to about $75, 900. The struc-
ture was originally intended to be with
cement floors but these were changed
to wood and other notifications were
made. After the plans had been
changed the contract was let to the
George L. Smith company of kau-
kauna. Up TO this time 10 provision
had been made for a perintendent OF
construction and it was decided at the
suggestion of member OF the firm
that the architects should look after
the work and receive in all not over
five per cent of the total cost, Two per
cent tor the plans and three per cent
for supervision.

The Trouble Begins.

AS soon as the work on the building
commenced the trouble began. IL
came out in the trial that the foUnda-
tions were not properly put IN and
there was disposition to slight the
work. From the failure to do the
work properly some of it had to be re-
placed and the contractor was In the
mood to abandon the unfinished struc
ture. Some of the floors settled, an
arch tumb!ed down, the joists sagged
and had to be propped up and TO cap
the climax lot of the plastering fell.
This made an additional expense on
the contractor and sub-contractOrs and
it also came out that there was dis
position on the part of the superln-
tendent to let the defects pass without
the work being again done in proper
manner.
After making SOM deductions set
Element was made with the George L..
Smith company about January l, 1909,
the building having been completed
July /, 1907.
During all this time big cracks APP
peared, the building settled in places
and more plastering fell. 1t is said
that in places the pIastering has been
put on four times. Nearly all of the
ceilings were replassered entirely The
skylight settled and the weak places
in the roof let in the rain and snow.
The Board Had Done Its Part.
In the meantime the board had paid
the architect $500 at one payment
and $500 more early in 1909 and de-
cided that under the circumstances no
more should be paid.
The architect then filed a bill with
the city council and bill with the
4! board of education in November, 1910,
and started suit to recover the remain
der January, 1911. In 1911 the school
board was made party to the suit.
The case was noticed for trial in De-
cember, 1911, the architects suing on an
express contract of five per cent of the
cost Of the building. He claimed
the balance due was 1914. 70
