PAIN IN The BACK

Do not worry about a pain in your
back. The worry will doyou more harm
than the pain. The serious diseases OF
the kidneys seldom or never produce
such pains while the cause of most back
ache is muscular rheumatism, which is
painful but never fatal. Lumbago is a
form of muscular rheumatism, so is stiff
neck.
Sufferers from any form of muscular
rheumatism affecting the joints, should
keep the general health at the highest
standard by the use of a on-alcoholic
tonic like DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and eat
good nourishing food without too much
meat. Proper nutrition and good blood
are the best means of fighting rheuma-
tism. Medicines do not control the dis
ease directly but well nourished system
will often throw it off, Rheumatism
quickly thins the blood. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills act directly on the blood and
as they build it up and strengthen the
system there is an increased resistance to
the rheumatic poisons. In this way
many rheumatic sufferers have found
complete recovery.
A book Building Up the Blood' which
tells about the treatment of rheumatism
is free for the asking from the DIR. VIII
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

At the southeast corner of the
courthouse park is a path where the
grass has been worn away by the con-
slant tread of many feet. The path
is an eye sore. The county board, the
county board committee or some one
in authority should plant a big sign
that the place is sacred ground. The
courthouse park is worth many thous-
ands of dollars to Baraboo and every
effort should be made to make it as
beautiful as possible at all times. The
county has done much and every effort
available should be exercised to make
the place even more beautiful.

WHAT IS WOMAN'S
BEST LIFE WORK?
Question to be Discussed at
Madison Next
February.

IF [ DOM teach, what shall | DO? is
no longer so momentous question for
the girl to answer. There are SO many
things she may do. And more and more
brains are thinking with her and for
her and helping her to choose wisely.
For three years the University Of
Wisconsin has held an annual three-day
vocational conference for women secur-
ing speakers of national reputation
engaged in actual service along the
various vocational lines. This year
the vocational conference adviser Of
fers to discuss questions Of vocational
Importance with any girl at her daily
office hour, advising her as to shaping
her course, etc. She is also in position
to advise as to the opportunities af-
forded by the various fields.
From present indications it is practl-
cally certain that one day of this win
ter's conference be held on Febru-
arv 10, II, IL, will be devoted to social
service and another to home economies
and allied subjects, the third dealing
perhaps with miscellaneous topics.
Committees have been appointed and
are at work ascertaining the interest
of the woman student body in voca-
tional questions and arranging for
speakers.
