out Of the whole number only two

more time on her university work

doing so she could not hope to keep

Plan to Fight MiIIiners.

Five hundred farmers wives Of west
ern Wisconsin at the Western Wiscon-
sin Homemakers' association, held at
the county farm school in La Crosse,
turned their attention to study of
plans to beat the milliner and thus re-
duce the high cost of living.
The principal address was made by
Miss c. Schmit, hat expert of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who told the
farmers wives that new hats were a
delusion and that little ingenuity and
knowledge would enabel them each
year to make their old bonnets look
like new.
Many practical demonstrations were
given with the result that the clubs for
the making of hats are to be started In
school districts about the county.

Report of Building and Loan Bodies.


Building and loan associations in
Wisconsin attained a greater growth
in 1913 than in any previous year
since their establishment, according to
the annual report submitted to Gov
ernor McGovern by Banking Commits
sioner Kuolt.
Six new associations were char
tered and two, authorized late in 1912,
began business in 1913. The increase
in the assets Of the associations In
creased 20 per cent. as compared with
an increase of 1873 per cent. in 1912.
At the close of the year IS associa-
tons were operating under the direc-
ton of the banking department. No
foreign associations are licensed to
do business in the state.
Total assets of the association on
December 81, 1913, was $40 ASS, 1920,
as compared with $S,707,795.45, De-
cember 81, 1912. The number of men,
bers on December 81, 1913, was IT,
no, as compared with 23,292 the pre-
vious year. There were 229,3 1920 shares
in force at the beginning of the pres
ent year and the number Of shares of
paid-up stock shows an increase for
the year of 2,174, the total being 49,
103.
The gross earnings of the associa-
tions for the year, derived from loans,
premiums, membership fees, fines and
profits, were 1892, 720.09, while the
gross expenses were $109,9:4.19. The
increase in the combined contingent
or reserve fund was $19,S33.24.
II am grateful" says Commissioner
Kuolt, ito be able to report a more
general observance of the provision In
the law for the establishment and
maintenance of contingent or re-
serve fund. Previous to 1913 num-
Der of associations were not comply
ing with the law, requiring them to
set aside at least five per cent. Of the
profits at each dividend period as a
permanent fund which might be drawn
upon in case Of losses. During 1913
only a few associations failed to COM
ply with my recommendation in last
years report as to the building up OF
such a fund"

Watch Carefully
the C1ild'S Diet
Start Them OF Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Tv,oss. Eo48
Their Food.

1HSJF rOOO.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact Is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge 1t to take more Of what is quick
ly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply small dose Of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion Of thousands of watchful moth
ers, Is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it.
and all can use it. Thousands endorse
it, among them Mrs. M. E. Patten.

without it in the house. Mrs. Patten
