Conquering Disease

There is new news and good news
concerning pellagra, the mysterious dis
ease which has taken many in Europe
and which has appeared in America,
finding one victim in Sank county about
year ago. DR.. w. F. Lorenz of the
Mendoza hospital, who once lectured in
Baraboo, and others who have been
delving into the secrets of this disease
during the past year and are now able
to announce gratifying results. 1t
was at first thought the disease was
the result of eating corn meal which
had undergone slight fermentation
but this has been found not to be true
for pellagra was located in countries
where corn meal is not raised. The
specialists have discovered that the
cure is dietary and that the curei is eating
plenty of nourishing food of the right
kind. That the disease is not due to
specific organism is most gratifying
and that it can so easily be cured is
more important still

COUNTIES PROVIDE
BIC. HIGHWAY FUND

County boards have voted about
$1,70O, 900 for improved highways
and bridges, according to estimates
made by the state highway commission
which is compiling the returns. The
commission has fund of 81, $50, 900 to
be distributed. 1t is announced that
the amount of prospective construction
halted by the supreme courts ruling
against the force clause of the state
aid law approximates $5000O0, not
5000, 600, as was originally stated up
on information furnished by one of the
commissions staff.
Examinations will be held by the
commission in IS counties, from Oct
20 to Nov. 6, for county highway com
missioners. The county board of each
of these counties is to elect one of the
first two men on the list as eligible.
The tests are not highly technical anC
are principally oral. Some actual ex
perience in construction work, such a:
building roads, streets, railroads, OF
logging roads is desirable.

HOW 4 MANS LIVER
DEFENDS HIS LIFE

The liver is usually quiet, unassum-
ing organ and we do not think much
about it. It has, however, protective
functions that should command respect.
In the process of intestinal indigestion
there are set free what physicians and
scientists call 'toxic bodies" in other
words poisons. If these poisons enter in
to the circulation of the blood biliousness
or sick headache results.
Regularly the liver is able to destroy
these toxic bodies but fit lags in its work
they quickly form in amounts excessive
enough to be troublesome. Headache,
constipation, dizziness, furred tongue,
wind on the stomach, bad complexion
are the means by which nature gives
warning that the liver needs help.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not grippe or purge but simply
assist nature. Harsh laxatives and salts
often do harm by aggravating the condi-
tons they are taken to correct. Pinklets,
taken regularly for time, really do cor.
rect constipation.
Your own druggist can supply you with
Pinklets or they viii be sent by mail,
postpaid, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y, at % cents per
bottle. Send for helpful pamphlet.

O6e Last Wild Pigeon

A few days ago there died in the Gin
cinnati Zoo the last wild pigeon. Within
the memory of man, the day in Sank
county was darkened by their flight
and the slaughtered birds were hauled
to city markets by the car load. Near
Lime Ridge and Kilbourn were great
roosting places and there the long
weary fight of the day ended and the
birds were so thick in every bough
there was no sport in killing them. AS
far as the records show the last bird
was captured in 1898 although a few
may have been taken after that time
In 1888 David Whitaker of Milwaukee
obtained pair and these increased to
fifteen birds. All died but one female
which was sent to Cincinnati and this,

A Hint for

In a little book designed for expectant
mothers more complete instruction is
given in the use of Mothers Friend -
This is an external ernbrocation applied
to the abdominal muscles for the purpose
of reducing the strain on ligaments, cords
and tendons.
In thus bringing relief and avoiding
pain great good is accomplished. It
serves to ease the mind, indirectly has a
most beneficial effect upon the nervous
system and thousands of women have
delightedly told how they were free Of
nausea, had no morning sickness and
went through the ordeal with most re-
narkable success. Mothers Friend has
been growing in popular favor for more
than forty years. In almost every COM
munity are grandmothers who used it
themselves, their daughters have used it
and they certainly must know what
blessing it is when they recommend it
so warmly. Strictly an external application
IL has no other effect than to ease the
muscles, cords, tendons and Igaments
involved hence is perfectly safe to use by
ali women 1t is used very successfully
