the dish, as it must not look 'scram.

10 Observe "Flre Prevention Day.

To Observe "FIre Prevention Day"
Plans for a pass meeting at tt,
Auditorium In Milwaukee on Fir
Prevention" day were made at a meet
ing of the executive committee of tie
Wisconsin State Fire Prevention as
sociation.
The recent gathering at the Hotel
Pfster under the auspices of the state
fire prevention organization and the
Milwaukee Association of Credit Men
created such widespread interest that
the Merchants and Manufacturers az
ISOLATION has asked the fire proven
ton body to bring Franklin H. Went
worth, Boston, secretary of the Ma
tional Fire Protection association, to
Milwaukee on Fire Prevention day,
recently designated by Governor Nc
Govern to be observed on Arbor day.
Business interests in all lines have
been aroused by the campaign for re-
duction of the fire waste.
The executive committee also con-
sidered the proposition of seeking the
cooperation OF the Boy Scouts in Mil
waukee in the work of fire proven
ton. This is an entirely new idea,
and If the arrangement is decided
upon, 1t will create national interest.
DR.. Lawrence G. Sykes, chief scout
Of Milwaukee, was in attendance and
heartily approved the plan. The mat
ter Of having the paid fire depart
ments of the state take up the work
of inspection with the idea Of pre-
venting fires as we'll as fighting
them, was discussed in detail by the
members of the executive committee.
Secretary W. E. Mccullough, Milwau-
kee, has been in correspondence with
the chiefs Of fire departments all over
Wisconsin, and he reports that much
enthusiasm is shown in the plan. Mem
bers of the Wisconsin State Fire Pre-
vention association expect to have
the new system In operation within
the near future.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
It's effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.

COLD WEATHER.
KILLS GAME BIRDS
Thousands Perish During the Sc
we're Winter.
MANY ARE STARVED TO DEATH
SPortsmen Favor Plan to Have State
Protect Partridees, Grouse and
Chickens During the Cold
Months

Madison.-That the present winter
has been an unusually hard one upon
game birds in northern Wisconsin is
the statement of men who are return
ing daily from the woods of Wausau.
Partridges, grouse and chickens have
fallen by the thousands, is the report,
and those who say this declare they
have ample proof of their statements.
Evidence is found in abundance that
the birds have either starved to death
or have fallen prey to wild cats,
weasels and mink. Their frozen bod
les have been found all about, and in
many cases signs are detected of the
presence of carniverous animals.
While these birds are of course
killed in great numbers during the
open hunting season, the additional
loss of the many who have fallen dur
ing the winter will no doubt tend to
diminish the supply which will be
seen in the woods next fall. Last
year hunters found the number Of
game birds plentiful and prosperous
season was reported by sportsmen all
through that part of the state. But
this year it seems likely that there
will be a scarcity that may endure
for several seasons.
While the extremely cold tempera-
ture is the chief cause for the suffer
ing among the wild birds Of the wood
land, the heavy snow has prevented
them from working over the ground
which usually furnishes them with
nourishment through the cold months.
Not only that, but before the deep
snow arrived, the ground was frozen
to a great depth and this has added
to the difficulty in securing food.
Movements have been started at diff
ferent times in the state to render
aid TO the starving birds at this time
of the year, and if the work could be
taken up on a large enough scale
would no doubt be most beneficial IN
tiding over such seasons as the one
Just passing. But unless the effort
were statewide, there would be little
noticeable effect. To provide food dur
ing the winter months would mean
the expenditure of several hundreds
of dollars in one winter, but that the
state commission could take care OF
this without much effort, is the BELIEF
of many sportsmen. The approprla-
ting of sufficient amount by the
state legislature would assure the
work, and Wisconsin's reputation
as a home for game birds, now well
known throughout the northwest,
would be vastly increased.

Lure of Cities Is Depicting Farms.
Dean H. l.. Russell of the college Of
agriculture opened the country life
conference with an address on coun-
try life. Contrasting the life Of the
city with that of the country dweller,
Dean Russell said:
.sThe farm, which is the basis of
the business activity of the farmer,
is intimately bound up with the farm
home. The home life, from the so
cial and intellectual point Of view, is
SO closely bound up with the whole
that it is necessary to consider the
two together
The lure of the city still continues
to attract an increasing proportion
of our population. Even in Wiscon-
sin, where agricultural conditions are
certainly above the average. where
the price of land is steadily rising,
the population is moving cityward.
The figures of the last census show
that practically all of the southern
part of the state has suffered de-
cline"
He explained how all this was
made possible through the perfection
of agricultural machinery. He said
little attention has been paid to
Tightening the labors of the farm
woman. The total attendance at the
conference is estimated at $50.
