HERE is GOOD NEWS
FOR STOMACH VICTIMS

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with
pure vegetable oils, which exert a
cleansing, soothing and purifying ac-
ton upon the lower bowels, remov-
ing the distractions of poisonous
facial matter and gases and prevent
ing their absorption by the blood
This done, the food is allowed free
passage from the stomach, fermenta-
ton ceases and stomach troubles
quickly disappear.
George H Mayr, for twenty years
leading Chicago druggist, cured
himself and many of his friends OF
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles
of years standing by this treatment,
and SO successful was the remedy he
devised that it has since been plac-
ed in the hands of druggists all ov-
er the country, who have sold thou
sands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet Of the medicine sufficient to
convince any one of it's remarkable
effectiveness and within "a hours
the sufferer feels like a new person.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Rem
edy is now sold here by Otto's Phar-
macy.

PROWLER ABOUT
ON THIRD STREET

Residents of Third street south,
were annoyed, early this morningJby a
prowIer. At one place the man, who
so far is unknown, entered a back
porch and opened a refrigerator, but
evidently was frightened away by
dogs belonging to the householder.
The police were notified this morn
ing but too late to gather much
evidence from footprints. In the par
ticular case cited, the intruder had
come in from the street and walk
ed on his toes as the prints left
by his shoes showed. The foot prints
were very plain ON the porch and
Judging from the length of the
stride. he must have been quite a
tall man. There were several places
visited by some one, supposedly the
same man, early this morning, but
so far as can be learned nothing
has been stolen.

hearing. Poniatouski is charged with
having held up and taken a purse a
way from Mrs. Sherman Prime, OF

The story told by Mrs. Prime is
to the effect that she was walking
on the street and was approached
by a man who Threatened her with a
big bottle and demanded her money.
She handed over the pocketbook
which contained fifty cents. The man
then took to the woods and disap-
peared.

WHATS LEFT OF
nth FLOOR LEAGUE

All that is left of the Eleventh
Floor League met in convention at
Madison on Tuesday last, and put in
to nomination a full state ticket
There is nothing in their creden-
tials TO show that they represented
anyone except themselves. A few OF
the old discredited leaders, with such
followers as they could command got
together and nominated themselves, as
republican candidates on the state
ticket 1t is indeed very fortunate
that most of these men have a pedi-
gree-a record, that brands them
as old time discredited stalwarts.
They will deceive no one. They re
pudiated the right of the people to
nominate their own candidates by
the primary election ballot, and we
predict that they will be unanimous
ly repudiated by the people at the
poles

FIRST FOURTH OF
JULY VICTIM

Robert Weeks. the sixteen year
old son of r. A. Weeks. met with a
painful accident when a can under
which he had placed powder blew
up and bruised his left eye and
cheek
The bottom of the can struck him
in such a manner as to leave a
bruise semi-circular in shape, the mid
die of which was across the left
eye. The cheek and eyeball are bad
ly bruised and the anterior part of
the eye was filled with blood. The
large amount of blood was caused by
the blow which ruptured some blood
vessels in the eye. Dr. VIM. Ruckle
dressed the injury and believes that
there is a very good chance to save
the eye.
Robert had placed some powder on
the ground and placed tin can
bottom up over the powder. The ex
plosion blew the can to pieces and
the bottom, which was very hot
struck him on the left side OF the
face
The story to the effect that both
eyes were injured was not true.

FOURTH Of
July ACCIDENTS
How to Care For and Treat

The enormous loss of life which 70
merly characterized July 4th, is not
likely ever again to be repeated. This
is in part due to the spread of the
Sane Fourth movement, and in part
to the more intelligent handling of
the fireworks injuries
The horrible part of many of the
deaths following independence day
celebration has been the seeming
unimportance of the injury. What ap-
pears to be only insignificant, Woun[ &
may prove to be the one most like
II to be followed by tetanus or lock-
jaw as it is also known.
The tetanus germ will not grow
when exposed to air. For that rea-
son there is very much less danger
in large open wounds than in those
of a puncturing or stab nature Lit
tie particles of powder, splinters, mi
mute bits of stone, etc, are there
tfore, most dangerous. The public
! 1LolS ScbtnSlCU d Illlpl CoSioi4
concerning the danger of injuries
| from puncturing wounds by rusty
nails The notion is wrong, in part
at least, in attributing the danger to
| be in the rust. 1t is correct to the
extent that old rusty nails stepped
upon are most likely to have been
exposed to garden soil, and manure.
The tetanus germ thriyes in the in
testinaI tract of horses, and is,there-
and garden earth, fortified by sta
BILE manure.
Returning to Fourth of July in
| juries, all wounds, no matter how
slight they may appear, should be
considered suspicious and thorough
| ly treated. 1t is safest to employ a
competent surgeon. In case none is
available, the following treatment is
! intelligent:
l. Wounds should be thoroughly
cleaned, even if they need to be en-
larged to reach every crevice.
2. Paint the wound and surround
ing tissues with tincture of iodin.
3. Apply wet dressing of boric acid
solution or alcohol. Don't close the
wound or bind tightly. Allow it to
heal from the bottom.
f. Consult a physician upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of a preventive dose of
tetanus antitOXin.
The latter is an almost certain
preventive. While slightly better re
suits are being obtained in treat
ment, lockjaw most positively be-
longs to the group in which proven
ton is more certain and far cheap
er than cure.

Tuesday evening was but the last
of the many rare treats which peo-

His closing message was to empha-

The eleventh annual state con-
yention Of the Fraternal Order of

the election of officers and selec-

Treasurer. C. Teal, Rhine lander
Trustees-Theodore NJ. Toll, Mil

Lacrosse, with eighty-five votes
was chosen as the city fer the 1915
convention and also won the live
eagle, Amigo Dick"
Milwaukee won first place in de
gree work; Kenosha was secord.
10000 Eagles in Parade.
Twelve bands and twenty march
ing clubs made a splendid showing
at the Eagles eleventh annual con
vention Wednesday.
The parade was headed by Presi
dent Armstrong and other state Off
GERS in carriages.
Amigo Dick" the bind that will be
awarded to the aerie of the city Sc
curing the 1915 convention, was il
an auto The Milwaukee marching
team led the others and there We're
about 10000 in line, Wausau having
about 220 uniformed marchers.
First prize went to Wausau with
Milwaukee second; Marshfield, third
Kenosha, fourth; Rhinelander, fifth
A. Goldberg won an auto.
About 10000 were in attendance al
the fair grounds, where an Indian
war dance was given by twenty five
braves from the Menominee roserUa-
ton.
Fond du Lac won the motorcycle
race with Amigo second and Grand
Rapids third.
Annie Kuntz was elected queen of
the convention.
Grand Rapids stands an equal show
for the 1916 convention. Wausau
delegates claimed that they did not
know that Grand Rapids wanted the
1915 convention and had pledged
their support to Lacrosse.
There was a feeling that in so
far as western Wisconsin had not
had state convention of Eagles,
that Lacrosse was entitled to it.
The state convention has been held
three times in Central Wisconsin,
once each at Wausau, Waupaca and
Marshfield.
The Grand Rapids delegates work
ed hard to get the convention and
advanced every argument that
could be thought of as to why the
1915 convention should be held here.
