STRANGE INSECT PLAGUE:
Small Winged Specimens Of Animal
ed Nature Pest of Man and
Beast

During the past few days thousands
of small winged insects, suggestive
of overgrown gnats, have made their
appearance in Alexandria, causing
more annoyance than the ordinary
house fly. These pests are, however,
by no means confined to Alexandria, as
they have made their appearance in
huge swarms in Washington and other
places.
AS is generally the case, the plague
lis blamed by some on women, and they
call them "suffragettes 5ugs," Su5-
gessing that plaques similar to those
which tortured Pharoah and the Egpy-
titan nation in by-gone years are about
to come upon the English-speaking
race for browning upon the daughters
of Eve in their propaganda for equa
rights before the law.
Others, however, are convinced That
the blame should be laid at the door
of hy-swaters, who are waging an un'
relenting crusade against this house
hold insect. They suggest that the lit
tie buzzers are put in the world BY
nature for the purpose of keeping tn!
air pure in summer time. According
to some naturalists every square lnci
Eof air is inhabited by thousands Of in
sects so tiny that even the most Pc"
erful microscope fails to make then
visible.
The fly hovers about until it get:
many of such insects upon its bod!
when it alights and devours them, thu
minimizing the danger of the insect
being breathed into the system by hu
man beings.
Advocates of the above theory ar
apprehensive lest by destroying file
he human race may become the VIC
Tins of more annoying insects thar
flies, as they are inclined to believ
that the ranks of flies becoming deci
mated, the minute insects upon whic!
they feed are allowed to develop int
the new pests alluded to above.

HUMOR'S SERVICE.

A sense of humor does much to allie
viate the little irritationsEof life. There
is a humorous side o-most things if
one has the faculty to see it. Humor
puts q cheerful face on many an &C.
cident which, if taken seriously, would
be lice wet blanket on pleasure. 1t
is leaven of life, raising the spirits
out of depression and dependency.
Before it malice and spitefuIness fall
without accomplishing their object.
Hatred is turned away. The sense
of humor tends toward good fell
Iowship; it makes friends. Humor
wins much in argument; it carries a
force that g heavy, serious statement
often misses. The great writer's knew
it, Shakespeare and CervanGes and the
rest. Put what they had to say in
plain, serious language, leaving out
humor, and who would read it?
dumor is a lightener of labor. When
there is fund of good humor, there
IS singing in the heart.-Milwauke

PinkIets, the New Laxative,
Gently Assist Nature

The first step in correcting constipation
is to stop the use of strong purgatives.
Substitute for them the mild, non-griping
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh purgatives are little value
in the treatment of constipation because
they wear out the muscular activity of
the bowels and finally lessen their sensi-
bility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued use of purgatiyes always
brings on chronic constipation instead Of
correcting it. With Pinklets you need
have no such fear. They assistthe bowels
and liver just enough to get them in pro-
they are not irritated by the treatment.
Pinklets are for every member of the
family. Each bottle contains complete
directions for use. Any druggist can
supply you with P.nklets at Is cents per
bottle.

THEIR WORK SHOULD BE APP
PRECIATED.

Baraboo has many things for Switch
her citizens should feel grateful. What
small city in Wisconsin has more
picturesque surroundings? What
better paved streets? What better
schools and churches? What better
public buildings? What q better
water supply? Last but not
le st what better lighting system.
The last named improvement is
largely through the influence OF the
Baraboo Commercial association, q
wide-awake and progressive institu'
sion. The officers and members have
stood together on the proposition and
the new lights are being discussed by
the travelling statesmen all over the
state. This is an excellent advertise
ment and should be productive of
much good to the city. Perhaps, there
are few who think they would pre-
fer to go about with lantern, as the
people did fifty years ago; if there
are they should have come out in the
open long ago or keep still now. Bara-
boo has q. fine lighting system. Let
no one exhibit a crouch. AS they
have with the lights, turn on a
