WILL HURRY
POWER PLANT

Hans Peterson promised the
city council he would get busy
and finish up the Nisqualy power
plant work. He denied this morn
ing that the delay is his fault.
He told the council that the en-
gineers had been making mis-
takes, gave him the wrong levels
for the penstock and this caused
lot of time and money to make
changes.
The council also ordered the
settling basin where it was con-
structed out of poor concrete
bolstered UP.

Don't Be Pussy
About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest ANY
Kind Of Food When Given
the Proper Assistance


We are prone to fall into the
error of singing out some article
/, or food and soundly berating the
fiend who first invented the dish.
The habit grows with some peo-
pie till almost all food Is put on
the blacklist. This is all wrong.
What is required is little as
sistance with those agencies upon
which scientific students for many
years have set their seal of ap-
proval because they have become
absolute facts. Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets for all stomach disor-
ders are recognized; they have a
fine record; they are rated relia-
BILE, dependable and worthy of
confidence just as the president
OF big bank puts his o. X. on a
depositor's check. And SO you
can eat what you want, whatever
you like, knowing we'll that
should indigestion, sour risings,
gas formations, lamentations or
any other stomach distress arise,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in a
few moments will put you right.
Coated tongue, bad breath,
thear-burn, belching, flatulency,
bloat-all the symptoms of d.
gestive troubles disappear quickly
when these tablets are used. They
are not a cure for anything but
dyspepsia and kindred complaints.
But they have brought relief to
more sufferers from digestive dis
eases than all the patent medi-
cines and Doctors prescriptions
put together.
| The stomach does the heaviest
work of any of the bodily organs,
yet it's the one we treat with the
least regard. We eat too much
of the wrong kind of food at any
time. The patient stomach stands
such treatment as long as it can
and then 1t rebels. You get no.
tice of the rebellion in the shape
of the gases and pains caused by
undigested, fermenting food.

Photograph Of passenger Bike
Miss Fifty touring car, and
it is expected will appear in the
garb of bowl of baeu boullon.
At 4 o'clock this morning Miss
O'Flara was seen taking her
morning dip in the rain gauge at
the weather bureau. Since that
time she has disappeared.
She had some startling expert
ences yesterday. One young
woman almost captured the Gig
Harbor pippin as she was leaving
the postoffice disguised as a post
age stamp.
She went to the city hall and
shook a game of dice for 25-
pound box of gum drope with
Mayor Seymour yesterday. The
mayor was charmed by the nifty
maid and lost the game without
even the slightest suspicion as to
her identity.
Leaving the mayors sanctum
she interviewed Chief of Police
Loomis on the subject of the
transmigration of souls. The
chief told her he didn't know that
kind of an animal had soul.
When she continued, asking him
what he though of the bottom
less pit and Mephistopheles, he
grew exceedingly nervous and,
biting his nails, answered that
he Believed in living in the pres
ent.
Some night within the very
near future Miss O'Flara will I'M
mask at some local theater, prob
ably the Engages showhouse.
This will no doubt be highly in
teresting event owing to the mil

WHAT WE OWE TO WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makers
of the Home and Providers
of Comfort.

Social progress with primitive wom-
en- was stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, to dress
and to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
of the home or shelter 1t Is the fe-
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that digs the burrow
makes the honeycomb as a home for
hers. The human female more than
all the rest created her home. But
not only is this true, but she differen-
tiated the home, and all parts of the
most elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account
The first homes were cherries
caves. Fire could not be made in
them because of the smoke, so wom-
en- sought out cave with an opening
in the rear, or a rock shelter with a
high curved roof. When she became
a dweller in a tent she searched for
the oldest wood, learned the mystic
ries OF the fuel problem and even in
vented the coral to induce the wind
to draw q little OF the smoke there
from and to increase her comfort
To the women Of the household we
ARE indebted for the oven, the chin
ney and the chimney corner. the
kitchen, the dining room. the family
room. the separate bed chamber. 1t
has been wonderful evolution, re-
sulting in comfort, taste and morality.

H'M LITTLE, BUT FL TRY"
Brave Child of Section Foreman Saved
Train and Set Example for
All Others.

She was only seven years old,
Eileen Martin, the section foreman's
daughter, as she stood reaching up to
a telephone at the little town of Alta,
Cal, telling the agent at the nearest
station that a rail was broken. Child
like, she knew the semaphore signals,
had come to the track to see the Over
land Limited whirl by and had watch
ed the long finger drop, letting the
train into the block.
I'm pretty little, but I'll try" she
said, when the station agent asked her
If she could not stop the train that was
past him, and started out with her
sister of fourteen who had just appear
ed. They ran down the track, stopped
the train and saved a wreck.
Pretty much every primary school in
the city ought, within the next week,
to hear of Eileens I'm pretty little,
but I'll try" The alert attention
which knew the semaphore signal, the
quick wit which understood what a
broken rail meant, the decision and in
ftiative which alone sought the tele-
phone, the courage with which she and
her sister started up the track, waving
their aprons to stop the big Overland
Limited as it bore down upon them
these are the qualities which through
life bring self-help, for others, success
and happiness.
And she was only seven years old,
pretty little" but ready to try

BUSINESS is THEIR LIFE
Thousands of American Men Seem to
Be Wholly Uninterested in
Their Wives.

There are thousands of American
men who are merely Indifferent to
their women. They are proud Of them,
but supremely uninterested, and ask of
their wives only to be let alone. Their
business is their life; it is their life
after they are married just as it was
before. They are playing a tremen,
dous game, and in this country man
has got to win or go to the wall 1t
makes no difference whether a man is
married or bachelor; it is not the
women of the country who determine
if a man must work at the great rate
of speed at which they labor-it is the
pace Of the country itself which de-
mands it. Our men give generously
and indulgently to their women folks;
they like to see that they have "ev-
erything in the world" as the saying
is. 1t pleases their vanity to see their
houses welEappointed and their wom-
en- well dressed; they like the luxury
of it for themselves. What is to be
expected of young girls whose fathers
have had no Influence in their bring
ing-up, but have merely paid the bills
young girls, who have never been
taught the use of money nor any de-
tails of any business whatsoever, and
whose whole duty in life is to dress
with the extreme perfection of which
our women are past masters, and to
keep in good physical condition and
talk amusingly? These are the prices
of success, success being measured in
this country, as elsewhere, in terms
of marriage and attention-Woman's

ROBERT LOVE TAYLOR, senior
United States Senator from Tennessee,
died in Washington, on Sunday,
March 3lst. He was three times gov
ernor of Tennessee. With his passing
we are reminded of something he
once wrote, a sentiment of a broad
man with great heart. 1t is this;
81 would rather fill my purse with
money and keep its gates ajar to my
happy girls while they linger under
my roof than to clutch 1T with a mis-
er's hand until the harp strings of
youth are broken and its music for
ever fed. l would rather spend my
last nickel for striped marble to
gladden. the hearts of my bare-footed
boys than to deny them the childish
pleasures and leave them bag of
gold to quarrel over when / am gone.
/ abhor the pitiless hawk, that cir
cles in the air only to swoop down
and strangle the song of the linnet
or bury its talons in the heart of a
dove. l despise that soulless man
whose greed for gold impels him to
strangle the language and song of his
own family"

CHARACTER SHOWS IN BACKS
Straight and Upright Carriage Means
You Are Determined, Energetic
and Reliable.

If your back is straight and upright
you are correspondingly straight in
your conduct. You will hold your head
up, for you are not afraid to look the
world in the face.
Even when you're sitting you keep
your back straight. There is an air OF
real strength about you-both physical
and mental. In short, you have plenty
OF backbone. You are determined, en-
ergetic and to be relied upon.
II your back is STOPPING and round
ed you are creature as weak as you
look, you are prone to lolling about
and too lazy or too feeble to take
front rank in the battle of life. The
tramp is an excellent example.
If you are a criminal, your back is
stopped or round, but the scholarly
stoop of the bookworm must not be
confounded with the foregoing There
Is difference which is difficult to de-
scribe, but it is readily recognized by
the close observer.
If you are mean and covetous your
back Is narrow and rounded and your
shoulders are high. You are sly
very sly. You generally have the ap-
pearance Of drawing yourself up into
as small compass as possible. You
are always yourself, so to speak,
and people should give you the cold
shoulder.
Are you too straight backed? That is,
do you hold your head so high that
there is preposterous fall N the
small of your back? Then you are so
pulled up with self-estcem that you
carry your chest out so far it's abb
surd.

FIFTY years ago Saturday and Sun
day the terrific conflict. the battle of
Shiloh, in Tennessee, was stubbornly
fought. The Federals were in COM
mand of Gen. q. S. Grant and the
Confederates under the command of
Gems. Albert Sidney Johnston and P.
G.. t. Beauregard. This was Gen.
Grants first great battle Gen.
Johnston was killed the first day
The numbers engaged were about
equal-about 10000 each. The losses
in the two days. fighting were: Con-
federates- killed, 272S; wounded, 8,O2l;
prisoners, $50; total, 1869. Federals
killed, 1,725; wounded, 1882; prison
ers, 1856; total, 12,573. Among the
slain at the time was Colonel James
S. Alban of Plover, commander of the
18th Wis. Vol. INIT, who was shot
from his horse the first day. Col.
Alban was the father of S. III. Alban,
now resident Of Rhinelander. A
reunion of the survivors of that
memorable battle has just been held
on the historic field, and was the oc-
casion for the exchange and recall of
"reminiscences between, the Blue and
the Gray of the long ago and who since
have united in bonds of fraternalism
and patriotism for one common
country.

Election of Hon. John Rfngle for
Mayer.

Hon. John Ringle was elected
mayor of Wausau in the non-parti-
san city election held last Tuesday.
Mr.. Ringle holds this unique posi-
ton: He conducted the fight
against the commission form of
government for the city of Wausau
and won out in the special election
held in this city last February. He
will hold the office of mayor of our
city for the next two years, at
least at an increased salary of dou-
BILE what has been paid in former
years 1920; though the amount is
far short of what should be paid to
the head of our city, provided his
entire time is given to its affairs.
1t is Mr.. Ringle's sincere belief that
more advancement can be made in
our city under the aldermanic sys-
tenn than under the proposed COM
mission form which was defeated,
hence his administration will be
watched with a great deal of inter
est. The PILOT as well as the en-
tire community have the utmost
faith in Mr.. Ringle. His long ex-
perience in public affairs, excellent
judgment, untiring energy, strict
integrity and answering course in
matters which he deems to be just
and right, will make him strong
factor in the future growth of our
city. Under him the new city hall
will be constructed, and he has the
opportunity to place Wausau in the
van of the cities of Wisconsin, so
far as growth and development are
concerned.
Mr.. Ringle has resided in Wausan
over 80 years. He has represented
our county in the assembly and
state senate. He has held various
county offices. In 1884 he was
elected mayor on the platform of
municipal ownership, and under
him our city water works were in
stalled and the first city hall built
For many years he was an able
member of the city council and
county board, and he has been a
member of the school board for
over 80 years. He is vice-president
of the First National bank, besides
is the moving spirit in many of our
large institutions. Mayor Ringle
has back of him every man in the
city who stands ready to boost for
the success of every forward move
ment.
