GETS MOOSE CONVENTION
der Comes to Milwaukee
July 27 to Aug. /.

Milwaukee. Milwaukee gets the
1914 national Moose convention. Word
was receiaed here by National Organ
izer Arthur Brookwell from the SUI
preme council that it had voted the
gathering to this city over Chicago.
The announcement ends long sus-
pense during which it was believed
for some time that the gathering was
going to Chicago. The Milwaukee
lodge, Milwaukee No. 40 and Cream
City No. 1856, kept up the fight and
won over the Chicago organizations to
the support of this city.
The meeting, which will be held the
week of July q to Aug. 1, inclusive,
will bring at least 10000 persons to
Milwaukee from all parts of the coun-
try. Owing to the proximity to Chi
cago and Mooseheart, the national
Moose home, it is believed the Mil
waukee meeting may even reach 49,
600, by far the largest attendance in
the history of the organization.

CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD DRAG DISSIPATION IN THE HORSE
Many Thousands Of Dollars Lost to
Farmers From Cause that Might
Be Easily Preve nted.
By GEORGE Fl. GLOVER, Colorado Az

SBy GEORGE Fl. GLOVER Colorado Ag-
ricultural co!lege0
Judging by the number OF cases OF
fatal obstruction to the bowels in
horses that come to the notice of She
veterinarians of the Colorado Agric,ll-
tural college, there must be MANY
thousands of dollars lost to farmers
every year from this cause. And this
is condition that might easily be
prevented.
In the winter time the roughage is
dry and succulence must be provided.
A horse with good teeth and fed al.
falfa, timothy, bluestem, or other we'll
cured hays, combined with grain and
plenty of water, will seldom be ar
fected with impacted intestines, but a
ration of straw, or bleached alfalfa
stems picked up in the fields, com
bined with low vitality, cold, poor
teeth, and only snow or otherwise
limited amount of water, will furnish
conditions which make fatal obstruc-
ton of the bowels possible.
The poorer the feed the more an ami
NAL must eat, and ration of straw or
poor quality Of hay, does not furnish
sufficient nutriment to make it pos
sible for horse to eat enough to sup
port life. He eats inordinate guam
titles of this highly indigestible food
which produces distention, atony and
finally paralysis Of the bowels.
Most Of these cases cannot be
treated successfully but prevention is
easy. After all, 1t does not pay to
keep animals unless one knows how
and is willing TO care for them from
the day they are born.

FIX DATES FOR MANEUvERS
Badger Militia Encampment to be
Held July 6 to Is az
Camp Douglas.

Madison.-The entire Wisconsin ma
tional guard will participate in the
joint maneuyers with the United
States regulars this year, and the date
for the encampment at Camp Douglas,
will be July to Is, according to an
announcement by the war department
on Wednesday. Joint maneuvers will
be participated in by limited number
of regulars, owing to the absence of
large part of the army from the
usual stations on account of the Mex
lean situation.
Not only will the attendance from
the regular army be limited but some
of the companies from the regular
establishment probably will do duty
with more than one of the state mill
tia organizations.

SEIDEl FOR SENATOR
STATE TICKET NOMINATED BY
SOCIAL DEMOCRATS.
oscar Ameringer, Milwaukee, Picked
to Make Race for Governor--QuaIify
Church Tax Resolution.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ameringer and
Emil SeideI, Milwaukee, were nomi-
mated for governor and United States
senator, respectively, by the state So
ejal Democratic convention.
On the ticket with them are:
Lieutenant overnor-R. C. Mecca
leb, La Crosse.
Secretary of State-F. w. Rehfeld.
-iwaukee.
Attorney General-Lynn d. Joseph,
Green Bay.
State Treasurer-E. D. Deuss, She
boygan.
Two important stands were taken:
An adoption of a plank in the state
platform providing for the taxation of
all property except that used directly
for educational, charitable or church
purposes.
The adoption of resolution provid-
ing for state referendum prohibiting
any member of the party from voting
for candidates on other tickets in local
or general elections, whether the So
cial-Democratic party has candidate
for the position in the field or not.
No question was ever more bitterly
fought by Socialist convention than
the proposition to tax chu-ch proper
ty. The original resolution provided
for the taxation of all property in
Guiding state lands, church, education
al and charitable institution holdings.
The resolution got through without
being noticed and the convention vot-
ed then to add the following clause:
Provided, however, that we favor the
exemption of all property used for
worship, for school or charitable pur-
poses, but not the exemption of prop
erty held by religious associations for
speculation"

COMMISSION SETS
HOURS FOR WOMEN
PEA PACKING COMPANIES AD-
WsED OF NEW RULES FOR
FEMALE LABOR.
RUSH PERIOD RECOGNIZED
Old Time Records Must be Sent TO
Madison for Examination by State
Board-Fewer Violations are
Expected.

Madison.-Well in advance OF the
opening of the pea canning season the
Industrial commission has advised all
Wisconsin pea packing companies of
its new orders for the regulating of
hours of employIo ent for women. The
department now has complete data. on
the tremendous Importance OF the in
dustry, and also possesses complete
records of experience on employment
of women and children. The pea can
ming industry means something like
$6,OOO,O00 year to Wisconsin manu-
facturers. In 1913 the total output of
the eighty factories was 3,Os8,S75 cases
or 100000 cans of peas. This repre-
sents about so per cent of the total
output of the United States.
The chief problem in the pea can
ming industry is the rapid and
prompt handling of the freshly pick
ed peas in order that they may not
have time to deteriorate before be-
ing sealed in the cans. The indus
trial commission, by a special order,
nus PAONtdCo III ouCn
but has so limited the operation of
the order that no employer can
stretch point in order to employ
women for excessive hours During
the rush season and in case of abb
normal conditions brought about by
breakdowns, bad weather or climatic
changes, women engaged in can
ming may be employed not to exceed
twelve hours each day, exclusive of
meal times, but these twelve hour
days are limited 20 fifteen in the sea-
son. Employers must provide for a
period of rest of at least nine con-
secutive hours from the end of work
on any one day to the beginning of
work on the next day.
1t is the intention of the commits
sion to have several members of the
field force engaged solely in the in
spection of pea canning factories.
These inspectors will have access to
all the time records and their re-
ports will be made direct to the COM
mission. Fines for violations of law
were collected last year from fifteen
canning companies. The commission
expects that the companies this year
will avoid further prosecutions.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The country is passing through the
third serious epidemic of hog cholera
of the past 80 years, according to the
department of agriculture. The first
period reached its climax in 1886 to
1887. when the loss amounted to
about 1S4 per 1000 head in ore year.
The second outbreak developed in
1894, and reached its climax in 1896
to 1897, when losses amounted to
IA per 1000 head. The present ex-
tensive epidemic of hog cholera began
to be serious in 1911; during the ten
prior years the loss of swine ranged
from IS to So per 1000 per year; in
1911 1t jumped to SO, then to ITO in
1912, and to 119 last year, about 80
per cent Of which may be attributed
to cholera. 1t has thoroughly ravaged
the heart of the hog-producing belt
during the year just past. In tbs
state of Iowa alone, losses amounted
to nearly 100000 swine, over q fourth
of the entire number in the state. III
many counties over half were lost,
and in some townships over nine
tenths
The losses of swine from disease
are estimated by the department at
119 to every 1000 hogs in the country,
which exceeds last yearS heavy loss
of 10 per 1000, and the aeersge year
~ loss in the preceding ten years of
54.9 per 1000. Probably more than
80 per cent of the loss was from
cholera. The percentage of loss ap-
piled to the estimated number OF hogs
on January l indicates a total loss of
100000 head, which, at $1040, the
value per head on January |, iDNi-
Gates loss of s73,000,000. The aver
age weight of hog on the farm is
about $50 pounds, therefore more than
one billion pounds of hog meat were
destroyed by disease, mostly cholera.

Onion is indispensable to a good
salad, but It's presence should never
be obvious. The best way to conceal
1t is to rub the sides of the dish with
a section OF an onion, and not to put
any onion in the salad at all.
Another way is to use half a tea
spoonful of onion juice in the salad
dressing. This is for the French Dress
ring, OF oil and vinegar, salt and pep-
per. The juice is obtained by grating
the onion. 1t is we'll to set aside a
