GREAT DISCOVERY
OF IRON ORE MADE
LARGE AREA in SOUTHEASTERN
WISCONSIN FOUND TO BE
RICH IN MINERALS.
DEP0S.TSINTHREE COUNTIES
Big Mining Cooperation Seeks Leases
on Lands in the kickapoo River Val
ley as Result OF Recent Explorations
and Tests of Ore Bodies.

Automatically may be the
greatest iron ore discovery in the
worlds history, became known here
with the arrival here of Frank r.
HonZel of Prairie due Chen to close
arrangements for the leases on an
enormous tract Of land to a local rep
resentative OF some of the biggest
mining operators il the United
States.
The tract is in the southwestern
part of Wisconsin, extends over parts
of three counties, and the discoveries
believe that an area sixty miles long
and forty miles wide is largely under
laid with iro more of a rich percen-
tage in metallic iron. Assays range
from 54 per cent to over 60 per cent
metallic iron, most of it nOn-besse-
mer, but with possibilities of devel-
oping bessemer quality at lower
depth
The ore is near the surface, being
in places only twenty feet below the
surface, while in the best explored
tract the mineral is eighty feet below
the suface, and has been tested
through depth of forty feet. The
properties include a deposit of red
hematite, assaying owed so per cent,
near Viroqua in Vernon county. This
is as far north as the explorations
have. proceeded In the center of the
field, il the Kickapoo valley, one of
the Oldest settled portions Of the
state, is a deposit of limonite, this
being the forty acre tract thoroughly
explored. Surrounding properties
bear extensive outcroppings. Still
further to the south, nearly fifty
miles from Viroqua, is another de-
post of hematite, near Boscobel

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Cognomen That Has Now Be-
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea OF naming his steam
boats cabins instead Of numbering
them. So he named them in honor of
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea.
and thus the word cabin was grad

years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriQuet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word ''stateroom
became incorporated into our lam
guage, and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in thou

The Young Brides First Discovery.

Their wedding tour had ended. ard they
entered their new home to settle down to
what they hoped to be one long uninter-
rUpted blissful honeymoon.
But alas, the young brides troubles
soon began. when she tried to reduce the
cost of living With cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got was
lot for her money, and it was not all
baking powder. for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two TO three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder
Thus. eventually, the actual cost to
you of cheap baking powders is more
than Calumet would be-
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid. sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely makes

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take a laxative. There are of
course a few exceptions A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use Of tonics and
laxatiyes.
The remedy Peruna is laxative
tonic. It not only operates as a gentle
laxative, but also as tonic.
The benefit derived from such q
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.
After a person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ a
physician, or some one who can give the

When once the value of Peruna as a

tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
