This thing of doing In Rome as the
Romans do Is not always the best
plan, says the Popular Magazine. IL
you don't believe it Miss Jane Adams.
the famous sociological worker of Chi
cago. viii tell you a story to prove 1t.
Miss Adams knew wealthy WON
an who delighted In doing works of
charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields, and on one occasion
she put up the money to send a mis-
sionary to the Caroline Islands. Soon
after his arrival on the scene OF his
activities the religious man sent his
benefactress a photograph OF himself
and his wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man OF God letter. suggesting
that his wife, In order to win the con-
iidence OF the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands. Two monthS
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting it"
The native dress consisted of a
piece of woven straw. two inches wide
and eight inches long.

100000 FOB FLoo6 RELIEF
Legislative Appropriate. Is Expected
to Put Black River Fails Fairly
Back Upon It's Feet.

Madison. Black River Falls will
receive flood fund of s1O6, 900.
This amount was agreed upon by
the conference committee appointed
by the two houses. The compromise
agreed upon left the appropriation
OF $1,000. as provided in bin No.
ia, as it was. This refmbur es the
relief committee for money e..ue .id-
ed in construction work and for fill
ing in overlooked lands. so they will
not be menace to tbs communities
health. The cut Wy the finance CON-
mittee of the Appropriation in No.
ia of $4,000 TO sS5,0 was al
lowed to stand.
The assembly originally voted
$4,000, and the senate cut this
amount to $4,000. The assembly
rejected the amendments of the SEN
ate, and the appropriation was ad-
1usted by conference, the committee
advising $4,000 instead of $500
for sanitary purposes and the relief
OF restitution and $71, 200 for drain
age purposes.
1t is generally felt that with the
appropriation made, the situation at
Black River Falls can be cleared up
and the people of that city put fairly
on their feet.
The nonpartisan victory was made
complete and the fusion ticket for all
larger cities of the state at the pri-
maries and general elections finally
approved, when the senate session
concurred in the Stern nonpartisan
measure, which had been passed by
the assembly after a hot Legislative
conflict. The assembly passed the
bill by vote of II to IA.
Every means in their power tc
stave off defeat were resorted to BY
the soeialistic delegation, but the mi
nority movement was unsuccessful
The bill as passed is the substitute
amendment introduced by A. H
Long, is statewide in it's application
and will take effect in all cities haV
ing primary elections. Smaller mum
eipalities, where candidates are in
dorsed through nomination papers
are not included.

DENY COMPENSATION PLEA
Risk Board Acts on Case of Street
Car Conductor Killed While TAX
ing Place of Motorman.

Madison.-The application of the
widow of Robert Neumann, Milwau-
kee, for compensation under the
workman's compensation act, for the
death of her husband, was dismissed
without award by the railroad COM
mission.
Neumann was a conductor in the
employ of the Milwaukee Street Rail-
way company. He took charge OF
the controller in the temporary abb
sence of the motorman and turning
onto a switch the car was thrown
from the track and Neumann was
run over and killed. 1t appeared at
the hearing that Neumann had never
been instructed in the duties of mo-
torman, that it was strict rule and
always enforced that conductors
should not attempt to run the car or
in any way operate or manipulate the
motor.
The commission found that Neu-
mann, when operating the motor,
was not performing a service incident
to his employment, and that the wild.
ow is not entitled to recover.

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health OF its different members Is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DIR. Caldwell's Syrul Pepsip. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels. yet positive IN
it's effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time TO again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $l.0O
bottles. If yoI have never tried this
simple, inexpensive. yet effective
remedy, write to DIR. w. b. Caldwell.

LOOK FOR JUMP IN
PAY OF TEACHERS
Conditions in Wisconsin Give
Rise to Belief.
SUPPLY LESS THAN DEMAND
Increased Wages in Other Desirabls
Occupations, Scarcity of Educators
and improved Standards Expected
to Bring About Increase.

Madison.-That the average SAL
airy of the teachers of Wisconsin will
be materially increased this year is
the belief OF the state superintend-
ent's Office and educational author
tiles. There are two agencies mill
tating to increase the salaries OF
these 10000 teachers.
First, there has been an Increase
of salary in other desirable occupa-
lions and teachers are becoming
scarcer
Second, the standard of the teach
log profession of tho state has been
increasing gradually and there are
larger number of high school, nor
NAL and university graduates seek
ing positions who demand a higher
salary than the country school teach-
er, who can offer instruction only
| in the rudiments
In fact the salaries of teachers
have been increasing gradually for
the past ten years, and will increase
more rapidly this year." said Charles
L. Harper, chief clerk n the office Of
the state superintendent of public in
| struction. In the country districts
men teachers were receiving an aver
age salary in 1900 of $43.S4 and
the women teachers s31.79. Two
years ago the average salary of men
teachers in the country schools was
| $66.69 and of women teachers
| $44.29. There has been a similar in
crease of salaries in the city schools.
In 1900 male teachers in the cities
received an average salary of S91S.24
and in 1910 the average salary was
| $1,0S646. In the same ten years
the average salary of women teach
ers in the cities has been increased
from $40S.92 to $527.73."
There has been a gradual increase
/ in the number of male teachers en-
ployed in Wisconsin. According to
recent figures compiled at the offics
of the state superintendent only L.
It's men are now employed as COM
pared to about 1901 women. There
are about $500 teachers employed
in country school buildings of only
one room.
+ while the higher cost Of living
has much to do with the increase in
the salaries of teachers in the past
ten years and will have much to do
with the problem this year, there is
still another factor to play still
| more important part, declared Mr..
Harper. 1.-THE number of teachers
who are graduates from the normals
and the universities is increasing.
These people are going into the
graded schools and the higher class
country schools, and they are de-
manding higher salaries for their
services"

WATERPOWER BILL KILLED
Twenty Two Laws Enacted in Seven
DAYS Session-OnIy Three Meas

Public Lands Bill Loses.

Nadison.-The special session of
the Wisconsin legislature for 1912
came to an end after session of
lust seven legislative days, soon fol.
lowing the signing by the governor
of the measures passed. Twenty-Five
laws were enacted -seventeen as
sembIy bills and five senate meas
ures.
Thirteen bills were introduced in
the senate, five were passed and
eight we're killed. Three joint reso-
buttons and three senate resolutions
we're INTRODUCED in the upper house.
The most important bills passed.
during the session were:
Appropriating $106.0OO to Black
River Falls to relieve the destitu-I
ton caused by ti1od, improve sani-l
tary conditions and construct dams,
and retaining walls to safeguard city
in future.
Appropriating $4,000 to strength
en- the levee system in and near the
city of Portage.
Appropriating $4,000 for a com
mittee appointed to investigate the
general levee system In and near
Portage and report to the governor.

cipal elections in the city of Milwau-
kee and all of the cities of the state
Providing that presidential cleo

Clearing UP points in election laws
and the fish and game laws.
Authorizing the use of short berry
boxes, properly marked, until March

Admitting the Lloyds insurance
association to the state.
Legislation on three subjects in
the call of Gov McGovern for the
special session failed of recognition.
They were measures for waterpower
control, the legislation asked to
limit the sale of state lands to set
tiers and providing no more than
100 acres should be sold to any per-
son, and the measures to place the
rough fishing industry in the hands
of the state. State Treasurer Dahl
believes a great mistake was made
in the defeat of the land bill, which
he says would have proved of great
advantage in preventing state lands
falling into the hands of specula-
tors. .
The issue in the contest over the
passage of a water powers bill was
whether the state should grant mill
dam and water power franchises in
perpetuity or for a limited time. The
representatives of the water powers
were opposed to any legislation on
the subject, but if any act were pass
ed they preferred a provision for per-
petual permits.
The committee bill, on the subject
authorized the state railroad COM
mission to grant franchises on condi-
tons relating to the construction and
maintenance of the dam. 1t contain
ed provision reserving to the state
right of repeal and provided for state
supervision and inspection of dams,
but imposed no fee to defray the ex-
pense of such supervision. The most
Objectionable provision to the water
power interests was the repeal
