GOOD ROADS BILL OFFERED
Measure Appropriating S45o,OoO for
Use of Highway Commits
sion in Early.

Madison.-The initial bill TO be
presented the Wisconsin legislature
at its f1fty-frst session was the good
roads bill desired by the highway
commission.
IL carries an appropriation of
S450,000 which is to be available for
the carrying on the work of the com
mission during the next two years.
The legislature took step in the
direction of demonstrating that it in
tends being a working session by TAX
ing an adjournment to Monday night
instead of Tuesday morning. It is
understood the speaker expects to be
ready With the assembly committee
assignments by that time.
The reason for the introduction OF
the good roads bill this early is SO
that the appropriation shall, if posi-
bic, be available for the use of the
commission in April The initial ap-
preparation to the board made two
years ago was $35O,0O0. This has
been exhausted in the building ct 500
miles of road. Nine hundred more
towns have applio'- or the state aid.

FEW LAWYERS IN ASSEMBLY
Business Men and Farmers Lead in
Lower House ership-News-
paper Men Well Represented.

Madison -Farmers and business
men will dominate the assembly in
the session of 1913 Together they
constitute more than two-thirds Of
the membership of that body with
the farmers little in the lead, the
score standing farmers 35, business
men 80.
Either legislative work had no al
lurelnent for attorneys or the voters
thought it time they took a subordi-
nate place in lawmakiilg, as there are
but fifteen members OF the legal pro-
fession, all told, in the assembly.
The newspaper mel. are well rep
resented in the assembly. Speaker
Merlin Hull is editor of a paper at
Black River Falls. This is the first
time a newspaper man has occupied
the speakers chair. BESIDES Speaker
Hull there are six assemblymen who
are connected with the newspaper
businss.
While the assembly has only a
small heaven Of legal ability the SEN
ate is well supple with attorneys
They come within three of having q
majority of the upper house. Here
however, the business men show III
strong, having eleven senator's to
fourteen who are lawyers.
The farmers are small minority
having but seven who are classified
| The list of senator's is completed by
/ two doctors.
OF the three leading classes, there
fore, the legislature of 1913 show:
an almost equal division, the total il
10th houses being: Business men
43; farmers, AZ; lawyers, 80.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hUssEys
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
eor eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying mis-
.eries.

and nervous for Is or 90 years from
