An Iowa paper says that quart of
milk at eight cents, weighing two
pounds, brings the cost of milk down
to four cents pound, containing per-
haps as much nourishment as the
fancy steak that sells at forty cents.
Many people appear to be studying
problems of this sort now, but many
others do not know a thing about
getting the most nourishment at
least cost.

sau Sulphate Fibre Co., presented

The Wausau postoffice was over
whelmed with business during the
past ten days and all on account of
the exchange of Christmas cards an6
the receipt of and despatch of the
seasons gifts to relatives, friends,
etc. But the regular postofice force
and carriers were equal to the occa-
sion and apparently did their work
satisfactorily well as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances.
Wausau and vicinity has experienced
one of the most delightful falls and
winter so that the most exacting
could wish for. The question now
that is boJhering our people is, "Will
we have freezing winter after Jan.
1st?" Last winter was the coolest
ever known here, and the winter of
1901 was very severe. 1t is said
that when there is heavy crop, the
winter following will be an open one.
AS the crops the past season were
very heavy there is some hope at least
of having an open winter Let us
hope it will not be very severe.
A coincident happened on Saturday
evening as the editor of this paper
was on his way home which is worth
mentioning. On Fifth street a de-
livery horse passed him without a
driver and the animal was going at
about 4-minute trot. When McIn-
doe street was reached another deliv-
cry horse passed him running east,
followed by man running in the
same direction, block behind.
Neither of the animals had caught
sight of the editor, so one must go
further to find out the cause, why
those horses should almost at the
same time, take it into their heads
to run away.
