TRY WALKING DOWN THE STREET
BAREHEADED.

There are plenty of people who
desire to do something that will
attract attention. David Grayson,
author of "Adventures in Content
menV, begins a new series in the
November American Magazine en-
titled, "Adveptures On the Friendly
Road" Listen to an extract:
"My sober friend, have you ever
tried to do anything that the world al
large considers not quite sensible, not
quite sane? Try it! 1t is easier to
commit laundering crime. A friend
of mine delights in walking to town
bareheaded and l fully believe the
neighborhood is more disquieted
thereby than it would be if my friend
came home drunken or if he failed to
pay his debts"

would be benefited by Peruna I will
certainly try some as the doctors have
practically given me up, the same as
they did him."
In reply wish to say, first, that I
never make any promises as to what
Peruna will cure. No physician can
make positive statements Of that sort.
j can say this much, however, if
were in your place L should certainly
give Peruna q trial 1 know of no
other remedy that would be so likely
to be of use to you in your present
condition as Peruna. Take a table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. Continue this for two or three
weeks and then if there is anything
you wish to ask me further write me
and I will give your letter prompt at
tention.
If find that the Peruna is not
helping you 1 will be perfectly frank
and tell you so, for 1 would not have
you take Peruna unless it was really
helping you. But it has rescued so
many cases of kidney disease that I
am quite con 1dent you will find it ex-
Rctly suited 10 your case.
Kidney disease begins with catarrh
of the kidneys. Peruna is a catarrh
remedy. Unless the destruction of the
kidneys is already too great Peruna
relieves the catarrh and the cause of
the kidney disease is removed.

A STORY WITH A rlORAL.

OHere's one from an exchange that
contains it's own moral: Said the
citizen: "Why don't you fire at
Jones as he certainly needs" "All
right" said che newspaper man.
And he wrote and read to the citizen
an article that was a scorcher on
Jones. "How'll that do?" "tine!
Just what that ornery cuss has needed
for long timeW "What are your
initials?" "Why you're not going to
put my name to that?" "Why not,
you're the man who inspired it,
"Yes, but Jones and I are neighbors
and have business relations. He'd
never speak to me again. Good Lord,
man, you can't do that you knowW
And then the editor told the citizen in
a few well chosen words some of the
things he thought of man who would
try to induce a newspaper to make
and be responsible for an attack which
it's originator was afraid to father,
and the citizens ears are burning yet.

ARE YOU EDUCATED AS TO
BARABOO?

In another column are found some
interesting questions concerning this
city. Some are difficult to answer and
no doubt all are not of the same
opinion as to the answer that should
be given. What do you think is the
best asset of this city? The thing the
town most prides itself upon? Who is
the most public spirited man or
woman? Who has done the most for
the town? What man or woman has
identified herself most with the city ?
Strange to say no one at Baraboo has
gone forward and erected public
building as J. S. Trip is doing at
Prairie du Sac or as Miss IONA Gale is
doing with her talents and energy at
Portage. While number of Baraboo
people have done much for the city
yet those who stand shoulders above
all others are difficult to find. In the
questions one will find much food for
thought.

HOW CAN THE CONSUMER HELP
HIr1SELF.


Let the women buy as their mothers
used to do. Let them send their own
crock to the grocer's for lard and bring
for IS cents what will cost them ST. in
can which they will throw away or
ruin in the opening. Let them buy
their crackers from box by weight
and they will get sixty to the pound
instead of forty in pretty package for
the same money. Instead of buying
package oats at the rate of one. half
cent per ounce, let them buy in bulk
and get 10 cents worth for 7 cents.
Instead of buying sliced bacon in a
glass jar, let them buy "side" and
cut it as wanted at half price.
But will women buy as their mothers
did in these days when their interests
have become SO much greater and
more diversified? Have they the
time? AS for fancy packages, probab-
~ they are more sanitary than the
old barrel. Milk in bottles is more
expensive than in the old tin can, but
who wishes to return to the dirty can?
The waste of many delivery wagons,
expensive locations and extension of
credit are the natural results of COM
petition! Ordering by telephone and
by means of servants, are merely time
saving devices, and,swhile they cost a
great deal of money, this is a time
saving age.-From "The Middlemann

with pay.
This is the second general increase
in rural route salaries that has been
made during the present administra-
ton, an advance of like amount
having been authorized in 1911. When
the rural delivery system was started
sixteen years ago the carriers were
paid only 5000 year. Now they will
receive five and one-haif times that
amount and their aggregate annual
salaries will exceed $4O,0 OO,OOO
This general increase in salaries will
prove to be most timely since it will
give rural carriers ample compensation
to cover any additional burden that
may be placed on them by the estab-
lishment of the parcels post system
which becomes operative on Jan. l,
1918.

CROWDS SEE ALLEN GANG MEN.
Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards in
HilISville.

Hillsville, Va, Sept. 22.-Sidna
Allen and his nephew, Wesley Ed
wards, arrested a week ago in Des
Moines, Iowa, after having eluded
detectives for many months, found a
great crowd, many from distant parts
of the country, waiting to get a
glimpse of them when they arrived
here to-day from Roanoke under de-
tective guard. Tomorrow they will
be arraigned before Judge Staples, in
the Carroll county court, the scene
of the shooting in which they are
implicated.
Through empty and silent streets
the two members of the famous AL
len gang were marched, handcuffed
together, to the Roanoke railway sta
ton an hour before daybreak to-day.
If the case should be removed to
Wytheville, as seems likely, they will
be taken back to Roanoke to await
trial

The Size of Bricks.

If bricks were made larger it would
save a great deal of time and labor
in building, said a contractor, but
the standard has been set and any
change would be attended by consld-
erable inconvenience. In England
when bricks were first made, and up
to 60 or 70 years ago, there was
tax on bricks, and in order to evade
it the bricks were made of larger
and larger sizes.
These were used for cellars and
other concealed places. To stop the
fraud an act was passed in the reign
of George III, fixing the legal size OF
bricks. Early in Queen Victoria's s
reign the tax was taken off and bricks
may now be legally made of any size
whatever. But any change would
bring about great inconvenience. All
calculations are made for building on
this standard size, and the London,
and other building acts have practl-
cally fixed it.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
