Ing butter and fat production, as well
as increasing revenue from sale of cat

Continuation Schools Established.

Thirty schools in Wisconsin have
arranged for continuation schools In
which industrial education will be the
leading feature. This is the maximum
number for which state aid was pro-
vided by the Legislature of 1911; other
cities stand ready to establish such
schools as soon as future legislative
enactments shall entitle them to state
aid. There has been raised by local
taxation in the 80 cities 100000. while
the total state aid is limited to $35, 900,
and this speaks loudly of the faith of
people in the value of providing for
the educational needs of those whom
the regular schools do not reach.
AS tersely stated by Warren E.
Hicks. assistant superintendent of in
dustrial education, Continuation &C.
tivity is to get instruction in industry,
not to get persons out Of industry" In
addition to the industrial work all con-
tinuation schools must give instruc-
ton in English, citizenship, business
practice, physiology and hygiene and
safety devices. Regulations have been
made to prevent any interference on
the part of industrial schools with the
regular schools and vice versa.

suffraaists Meet November II.


The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage
association has issued the call for it's
annual meeting, to be held November
IL and II at Milwaukee. The call says
in part:
"At this time of unrest and confu-
sion in the political world when party
lines are broken down and old leaders
are discredited, when the very founda-
tons of our republic are threatened,
the Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation has a message to give and
work to do. While the white slave traf-
fic fiourishes unchecked and almost
unnoticed by our public men, while in
many states child labor prevails in it's
most revolving forms, no wide-awake
woman can afford to be idle or indif-
ferent.
For 80 years the Wisconsin Won
ans Suffrage association has taught
patriotism, justice and equal rights for
all. We have urged that Wisconsin
should be made an example of true
democracy. We have upheld our ma
tional ideals and above all we have
presented the ballot as means Of Sc
curing a higher development of man
hood and womanhood.
Just what will be our line Of work
and our future policy we can only de-
termine after the results of the cleo
ton of November are known, but
whatever that decision may be the call
for unselfish, patriotic and heroic work
will still be imperative"

ROAD MOVEMENT
GROWS RAPIDLY
Reports Indicate Complete Sue
cess of New Law.
8s3 TOWNS ASK STATE AID
Many Miles of Highways and Hun
dreds of Bridges Being Built
Fund for 1918 Work is
$35O,oo0.

Madison.-Full reports have been re-
ceived by the Wisconsin highway COM
mission of the money voted for state
aid road and bridge construction in
1913. There are 1,195 towns in Wis
consin, Of which 865 voted for state
aid road construction on 1867 differ
ent pieces of road, asking for state
aid to the total amount of 1851, 273.
Two hundred and five towns voted for
the construction of 337 bridges, a to-
tai amount of $107, 764, which calls for
$53,877 state aid. In all, S83 different
towns in 68 counties voted for state
aid, a total amount Of $865,027, call
ing for the sum of S811,150 in state
aid.
These figures show large increase,
both in number of towns voting and
amounts voted, over last year. Last
year 511 towns voted total of $422,-
zoo for roads, and 125 towns voted
S55, 100 for bridges, In al 532 towns
in IS counties calling for $452,8OO
state aid in 1912.
The state highway fund for 1913
work is $3.50, 000 to which is added in
accordance with law, one quarter Of
the net proceeds from the automobile
license of SIS per car, amounting to
about $4,000 This total sum of
6378, 900 is $433,150 less than the full
amount of state aid requested. Some
few counties will get the full state aid
requested, as the votes of the towns
were light, but about so Of the coun-
ties will get less than they asked for,
many of them getting less than one
fifth of the amount requested.
1t is hoped that some method will
be devised whereby the state may
give each town what 1t expected to re-
ceive when it made its appropriation.
The growth of the movement for bet
ter roads in Wisconsin has been so
rapid that legislation has not kept
pace with it. In 1907, permanent road
construction was practically nothing;
in 1913, if the state could pay it's full
share, it would be fully $2,542,OOO.
There has never been in the United
States movement for better roads SO
statewide or so generally popular and
the results so far secured under the
state aid road law promise we'll for
the future development of the roads of
Wisconsin.

DANDRUFF 20 YEARS

74S Third Ave, New York, N. Y
Having been troubled with dandruff
for twenty years and trying numerous
lotions, washes, etc., without any eff
feet, thought I would give Cuticura
Soap and Ointment a trial. The scalp
always had dry skin on it which did
not itch as I gave it a good brushing
every morning and evening, but
through the day the dandruff would
show badly on my coat collar. l used
the Cuticura Soap to shampoo my hair
and rubbed in a little Cuticura Oint-
ment. After few treatments l found
the head clean and healthy, free from
all dry scales. Cuticura Soap and
Ointment cured the dandruff, and now

Finds Valuable Paint Rock.

The discovery of great depos-
its of rock in the southern part
of the state are expected to add q
sum close to $5O.000,000 to the wealth
of Wisconsin.
Experts in the mining school of the
university have discovered that when
properly burnt this rock makes pig
ments which far surpass in strength
those which are imported. About L.
100000 tons of the rock, it is estimat-
ed, lie in the neighborhcod Of Mineral
Point. Work will soon start on the
commercial burning of the stone, and
the industry is expected to put Wis
cons1n in the front rank of pigment
producing commonwealth.
For some years John C. Martin Of
Madison believed that the yellowish
brown rock at Mineral Point could be
used for the manufacture of siennas
and mineral paints. He experiment.
ed, but without success.
He at last turned it over TO the uni
versity. believing that with their
equipment they might discover the
proper way to treat it.
Prof. F. A. Kennedy tested the
ore. By series Of roastings he was
able to manufacture burnt sienna from
the raw material that had twice the
coloring power Of the best imported
Roman red sienna; also a mineral
paint that had two and one-fourth
times. and a yellow sienna that had
three and one-fourth times the coloring
power Of the best importation.
The best siennas and mineral paints
are imported from foreign countries
The only state that IN 1911 manu-
featured burnt sienna was Pennsylva-
mia, which turned out 1000 tons of
it. Three thousand tons were i'm
ported.
The Pennsylvania product sold at
S26 ton as raw material. TIE Wis
consin ore, having twice the coloring
power of the best sienna to be had
anywhere in the world, will have a
market value of twice that
Professor Kennedy was able to pro-
duce, from the same ore, paints of
every hue and color, from mahogany
to colonial oak. All of them proved
to be fast colors. And every color,
when placed next to the best imported
sienna of similar color, shows better
body and is more lustrous than its
foreign competitor The different col
ors are produced merely by differ
ence in the length of the roasting
period.
1t is believed by Professor Kennedy
that there are many good bodies Of
paint material in the state that could
be mined for the manufacture of high
grade pigments. Additional expert
ments with promising bodies all over
the state are to be made in the near
future.

My illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. At
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and mora
severe and 1 grew steadily worse. Later
numbness came over my feet. lt
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and
lost all control Of them. At this stage
of the disease I was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April
1905, was confined to the bed. My
memory was go affected that thought
I would lose my mind. I looked just
like dead person. My lips and finger
nails were blue. I suffered with ter
Tible sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use Of morphine.
IL was treated by five ST. Paul doc
tors. All of them pronounced my case

finally able to go to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
blush color left my lips and my eyes

long time and the next spring in May l
could walk around. In June went to
