Plan Indian Monument.

Members of the Wisconsin Archeo-
logical society and others have formed
a memorial society, with H. l.. Skav-
lem, GAINESVILLE, as president, to erect
a monument to Chief White Crow,
leader of a famous band of Winneba-
goes who bore his name.
1t is planned to locate the memorial
shaft on the site of White Crows vii
lage at Carcajou Point, Lake Kosh-
konong, on the farm owned by Mr..
Skavlem. 1t was at this village site
that Mr.. Skavlem made his research
last autumn, and discovered how the
Indians made their stone implements.
On the village site is an immense
boulder which has been suggested as
appropriate for the monument, which
would be inscribed with bronze tab
let. 1t is planned to hold the cere-
monies during the coming summer,
and a large gathering of psychologists
will be present. Charles c. Brown Of
Madison is acting secretary and treas
urer of the memorial society.

BABYS TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt
I'VE tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, Jan. %, 1911. Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to
"Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston.

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads In Advanced LeGis-

of tuberculosis.

What is designated by the National
ton of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, If not by any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention of
their disease, and thus become men
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose
If such patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu
ton in which he is placed, he may ''be
isolated or separated from other per
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that al lcounties in the state
from April 1st make provision In spe
cial institutions for the care of all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent of
$500 a week for each person main
tanned in these institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.

Board Cuts FREIGHT Rates.

Reduced freight rates on several
commodities were ordered in three de-
cisions of the railroad commission. In
the case of the Waukesha Lime and
Stone company against the Milwaukee
and the Northwestern roads, the com
mission ordered the roads to substi-
tute new scale on gravel, crushed
stone and lime in carload lots between
Waukesha and other Wisconsin points
In the case of the Eau Claire Con
crete company against the Omaha and
500 lines, it was ordered that the
rates on brick recently ordered by the
commission, affect also the rates on
concrete blocks. A similar petition
against the Milwaukee road was dis
missed.
In the case Of Semrad Brothers and
Pusch Brewing company of Highland,
the Northwestern and the Mineral
Point and Northern roads were or
dered to substitute the third class rate
of the Wisconsin distance tariff on
beer.

Give to sanitary conditions. Mrs.
pied by the poultry department to

Teachers Payments Valid.

Chapter 1923 of the laws of 1911,
known as the teachers insurance and
retirement fund law, is held constitu-
tional in an opinion by Attorney Cen
eral Bancroft in response to an in
quiry by State Treasurer Dahl
Treasurer Dahl is prompted to make
the inquiry by the fact that warrants
are coming to him for payment under
the provisions of the law. The statute
creates a teachers insurance and re-
tirement fund to be made up of so
called assessments upon the salaries
of all teachers coming within the. pro-
visions of the act, and of an amount
set aside annually from the so-called
seven-tenths mill tax equal to ten
cents for each person Of school age in
the state. These assessments are not
paid by the teachers, but are retained
from their salaries by the school
board. The fund thus created is used
for paying certain annuities or pen
sions to retired teachers.
Whether this law in fact results in
the taking of private property without
compensation or in the granting of
public money in aid of any individual
association of corporation, are held
by the attorney general to be ques-
tons already determined by the courts
negatively, and leaves the material OBJ
lection that the payment of public
funds under this act is not for a pub
lie purpose-'it is automatic that pub
lie funds can be used only for public
purposes"

THE OLD PLEA
He "Didn't Know Ii Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
u was a lover of coffee and used it
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from its
use. (Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
'At first was troubled with indiges-
ton. l did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee, but thought it
arose from other causes. With these
attacks l had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such a condition I could scarce,
ly retain any food.
Il consulted a physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
ton, but was not informed what
caused the Indigestion. l kept on with
the coffee, and kept on with the trou-
bles. TOO, and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until it
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau-
sea and severe attacks of vomiting.
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became a mere shadow, reduced from
159 to 12S pounds.
"A specialist informed me I had a
very severe case of catarrh of the
stomach, which had got so bad he
could do nothing for me, and became
convinced my days were numbered.
"Then l CHANGED to see an article set
ting forth the good qualities of Postum
and explaining how coffee injured peo-
pie so l concluded to give Postum a
trial. soon saw the good effects-my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long in
tervals and I was soon a changed man,
feeling much better.
Then l thought 1 could stand coffee
again, but as soon as l tried it my old
troubles returned and l again turned
to Postum. Would you believe it, l
did this three times before l had sense
enough to quit coffee for good and
keep on with the Postum. am now a
we'll man with no more headaches, sick
stomach or vomiting, and have al
ready gained back to 147 pounds"

Wisconsin Is Guernsey Cow Leader.

Statistics just compiled by the Wis
consin Live Stock Breeders associa-
ton show that Wisconsin leads the
United States in the number of pure
bred Guernsey cows.
Waukesha county, THE Guernsey
capital of America" contains more
tuberculin-tested Guernsey COWS than
any other state in the Union. The
chief owners in this county are r. w.
Rowlands of Waukesha, Maj. Howard
Green of Genesee Depot, w. M. Jones
and Fox Brothers of Waukesha, and
John H. Williams Waukesha. Wiscon-
sin soil is especially adapted to the
successful raising of Guernsey cattle
in manner similar to Australians Pc
culiar adaptabiity to Marino sheep.
The soil is good, climatic conditions
are favorable, corn alfalfa and clover
thrives in all parts, and big markets
abound. There are Chicago, Milwau-
kee, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
Green Bay, Superior, Fond du Lac, La
Crosse, Oshkosh, GAINESVILLE, Beloit
and Madison to be served with milk
cream and butter.
The rank of states in number of
pure bred Guernsey cattle is the fol-
lowing:
Wisconsin, 3,001; New York, 2,340;
Pennsylvania, zoos; Massachusetts,
LAT; New Jersey, 1877; Ohio, 1872;
Minnesota, 725.
Guernsey cows of pure bred variety
will soon prevail in Wisconsin, say ex-
perts on bovine questions, because
this particular kind of COW yields
more milk and butter fat than any
other kind, and from two to five
times as much as the ordinary scrub"
COW so common on all farms This is
especially true because the Guernsey
COW consumes less food than other
varieties, but still gives a bigger
yield. The claims put forth by the
owners of Guernsey COWS after sew
eral years of experience and expert
menting with them, are that the COWS
have a stronger constitution and graft
er capacity than other cows.
