ing cartridges and Herbert with IL
legally killing a deer. They were TAX
en- before Justice Lancaster at Skow-
hogan, Alonzo convicted and entered
an appeal to the higher court. Herbert
pleaded not guilty, waived a hearing
and appealed.
The commissioners, by virtue Of Sec
Sc of the game laws, which provides
that for cause shown, after due notice
and hearing, cancel any registration
by them made" cited both the guides
to appear for a hearing as above men
toned.
The men were represented by Attor-
ney w. B. Brown of Madison. They
made a general denial of the charge
brought in the court proceedings. Hon.

Utility and reliability as guides.
The commissioners decided rot 20
rescind their licenses, pending the out
come of the appeals in the legal pros
ecutions, which will be heard at the
January term of court for Somerset
county.

ing the law and made no attempt to
conceal the fact that he had the mink,
in fact showing it to his neighbors
and 1t was generally known.
The warden learned of the matter.
and as was his duty, took action. He
made no contest but paid fine to the
warden, as, on investigating, he was
convinced that technically he had vi
clated the law.
Mr.. Williams of Pennsylvania, whom
wylie had guided for several seasons,
testified in the latter's behalf.
The commissioners decided not to
withdraw the license.
1t is understood that another licens-

Nov. II before the commission to show
cause why his license shall not be re-

THE CHARM
Of MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. CT course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial OF strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it Is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman ut this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, q most valuable tonic and
tnvigorator Of the female organism.

There are two ways to eliminate
waste One is 10 prevent its occur
renee entirely. The other is to u:il-
re waste in such way as to bring
a profit.
For example, consider the thrifty
Scotch traders. They save things
that other people waste. They utilize
the SCOT from their chimneys TO manu-
facture shoe blacking. They import
scraps of wood from the Scandinavian
sawmills TO be used as fire wood.

They export old horse shoes TO China,
where the mongols convert them INFO

The secret of British success in man.
ufacturing is said to lie in the eff
cheney OF labor in England. and in the
elimination OF waste is TO be found
the reason for industrial supremacy
OF Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Theodore II. Price, an American
economist. says that in the cotton
mills of Lancashire a very large pro
portion of the cotton waste" discard
ed by our American cotton manufac-
turers is being worked over. II is
mixed with a certain proportion Of
American and East Indian cotton and
spun into yarns that are extensively .
used for "weft" or filling.
The coal that is used in the Ian
cashire cotton mills costs about S325 /
per ton. and yet in one Lancashire
mill the cost Of coal per Indicated
horse power is less than 81 per an
mum for 81 weeks and GO hours each.
This is said 20 be below the average
in America. and the difference is due
to better stocking and more careful
observation Of the heat produced.
But American manufacturers are
learning the lesson. In the matter of

The Illinois theatre Monday evening,

ity when the Apollo Male chorus gives
a program for the benefit of the Asso-

only buy tickets, but should attend the
concert 10 give the encouragement
that their presence at such an enter

cold weather the need of funds to as
sist the poor of the city increases and
because of the fact that many men
are out of employment the drain upon
the association is already heavier than
II has been for a number of years.
Every dollar that is collected for the
concert Monday evening will go to
charity. The members of the club
have donated their services and the
special soloists and readers have like
wise given their services free Of
charge.
Aside from aiding a worthy cause.
those attending are assured concert
of very high order. The Apollo club
has been organized for three years and
duriag this time has held regular prac-

that America leads the world. The
experience of a large Philadelphia hat
manufacturer is a typical one. This
company installed an extensive me-
chanical system of quick delivery of
materials and finished product within

by eliminating in large measure their
old burden of trucking, and by ex-

Such economics mean both better hats
