FRIENDLY TIP.
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years Of indigestion
and it's attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very. surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.
orally.
An. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago suffered from an
attack of peritonitis which left me in
a most miserable condition. For over
two years suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness of breath, could
not sleep, etc.
my appetite was ravenous but
felt starved all the time. I had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me be-
cause of intestinal indigestion. Medi-
cal treatment did not seem to help. I
got discouraged, stopped medicine and
did not care much whether lived or
died.
One day a friend asked me why
didn't try Grape-Nuts food, stop drink
ing coffee and use Postum. had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friend I began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
1T wasn't long before ! got some
strength, felt decided change in NV

INJURY DONE BY FIELD MICE
When There Is Winter of Deep Shows
and Severe Cold There Is Great
Loss From These Pests.

This matter of injury to orchards
by field mice deserve more than a
passing notice. Every year there is
more. or less injury done by these
rodents. When we have winter of
deep SHOWS and severe colds there is
great loss sustained from these
pests.
We have no practical means Of ex-
terminating field mice, but there are
certain operations that are helpful
in preventing their attacks ON trees.
It has been observed that injury is
greater and more general where
dead grass, mulch or debris of any
kind lies close to the trees.
Material of this nature affords a
harboring place, from under which
cover mice prefer to operate. Before
winter sets in all grass or mulch ma
terial Of any kind should be raked
away from the trees for at least a
radius of two feet, leaving the ground
as bare as possible. Where mulch
culture Is used a foot or two about
each tree should be left bare.
Injury is more severe On those trees
whose root systems are high on the
ground; that is, in cases where freez-
ing and thawing have caused heaving.
Such trees afford cavities In which
mice harbor, and girdling usually re-
suits fatally if below the point where
root and stem join. Throwing few
shovelfuls of dirt about the base Of
the trees has proven very beneficial
in this respect.
There are some things that we can
do to hold the field mice in check.
such as putting poisoned bats under
the mulch In the strawberry patch for
them to get, then remove all other
harbors in the orchard. such as
stumps, tufts of grass, etc, and II by
this means we force them all to the
berry for winter quarters we have
them where, no doubt, we can get
them with poison more readily than
II they harbored all over the orchard.

States geological survey, and G. M.
Larson, chief engineer of the railroad
commission, and is being carried out
in accordance with the provisions Of
the new water power law.
The report states that standard
United States geological survey chain
gauges have been installed at the fol
lowing locations, discharge measure
ments having been made and Observ-

The two stations above and below
the east fork of the Chippewa river
were visited and discharge measure
ments made These two stations have
been in existence about two years and
daily reports of discharge are being re-
ceived by the state railroad commits
sion
Discharge measurements were made
and gauges put in good condition at
Necedah, Merrill and Rhinelander on
the Wisconsin river. Gauges will be
soon installed in Plover river near
Stevens Point, Big Eau Pleine river
near Dancy, Little Rib river near Wau-
sau, Prairie river near Merrill, Oconto

of money expected next month from
the taxpayers.
More than 100000 will be received
from the counties about February ID
and as the bonds. now provided by the
banks designated as state repositories

it Is necessary to either increase the

Wisconsin should change its sys-

McGovern, so that they might be paid

Governor McGovern suggested that
IL the money, or part OF it, at least,
might remain longer in the possession
of the taxpayers it would be better for
them and better for the banks.

asked the attorney general his opinion
of the constitutionality of chapter TAO
of the laws of 1913, providing that the
state shall pay tax on its forestry
lands in the northern part OF the
state.
The question raised by the secre-
tary of state is that the law is special
and local legislation and not of pub
lie character. There are five counties
in which the state is to pay tax upon
its forestry lands, according to this
law These are Villas, Forest, Iron,
Oneida and Price counties. The tax
ON the state lands, as fixed by the
state tax commission, is $15,619.05 and
is TO be paid by the tsate to the town
ships in the various counties.
At the time of the passage OF the
law it caused hot fight on the floors
of both houses of the legislature.
Many representatives were sent by the
residents of the five counties, as 1t was
considered a hardship on the few resi-
dents of these counties to pay the full
expense of the government, especially
when such large part of the taxable
area of the counties are taken up for
forestry reserves. The whole forestry
question is now up before the supreme
court of the state and it is not likely
that the attorney general will give out
an opinion until the present case has
been disposed of by that court, as 1t is
considered that the two questions are
to some extent-invOlved.
