REPORT OF VICE PROBERS
Wisconsin Legislative Body at Work
Fifteen Months.

Wage question has no relation to
a girls downfall, the legislative anti
vice committee has concluded after
fifteen months study of the vice prob
lem in Wisconsin. An exhaustive re-
port of the investigation was filed
with the secretary of state.
The chief cause of commercialized
vice, the report says, is the use of
intoxicating liquor. Contributory
causes are public dance halls, road
houses, poorly lighted parks and pub
lie places, lack of responsibility by
parents, nonenforcement of laws, lack
of public amusement, recreation ia
cilities and automobiles.

drink, and consequently there are no
native wines. These people, however,
must have been heretics, for when
this young woman joined us after
cordially shaking hands with each Of
us, she laughingly said in French that
she would like some beer, although
we were all drinking the Turkish
coffee.
Made Their Escape.
The room began to fill ominously
and at last one of our sailors rose in
an excited way, pretending that we
had been Gas we probably had) over
charged, for our coffee and the dances.
We made our escape very glad to be
in the open air. Our party was the
center for some time of an excited
group of men and few women of the
dancing class. Everything became
quiet on the arrival of the native
police. Many of the dancers were
glad to get into the shadowy circle of
the crowd, as l believe, even in this
village, few of them are liable to
arrest.
AS we were going back to the boat
along the dark streets of the village,
a carriage was swiftly driven into
the picture. In it we could see two
men in European dress, wearing the
fez or tarbouche. The woman who
was with them was evidently of the
higher class, for she was dressed in
black silk and over her face the thin.
white veil showing only her black
eyes. Suddenly she was thrown, or
she jumped from the carriage to the
ground. She quickly jumped to her
feet, ran TO a nearby house, rappins
loudly on the door, which she quickly
entered as it was opened and immedi-
ately shut it in the face of the man
who jumped from the carriage, which
now had stopped. He was still stand
ing in the darkness when we left and
we shall never know whether the
woman was thrown out by one of the
men or whether she jumped. 1t was
mysterious enough for a murder and
exciting enough for any dark plot

Ancient Breakfast Foods.

We moderns look on breakfast foods
as Of the blessings, Or curses, Of
civilization. 1t is always easy to di-
vide man into two classes according
to his way Of thinking about break
fast foods. He belongs either to the
class that thinks the Scotch produced
such men as Burns and Sir Walter
Scott because of or in spite of their
fondness for oatmeal. Those who
belongs to the "in-spite-of" class
think that breakfast foods aid and
abet softening teeth, anemia, poor
digestion and nervousness. The "be-
cause-of" class looks on breakfast
foods as the mainstay of life.
Whatever we think of breakfast
foods most of us think them a modern
characteristic. They are not.
In the Canary Islands ever since
fourteen hundred and something, the
natives have eaten a breakfast food
called gofio, which is made from
wheat and barley. In times when the
wheat or barley crop has failed they
have used other edible grains in the
preparation of this food, so they have
had plenty of variety.

JOKERS HAD THEIR INNINGS
Telephone Prank That Left English
Office Man Decidedly Not in the
Best of Humor.

Before the eyes Of leading London
stock broker there appeared for a
few brief moments visions Of for
tune, fame and honor. He was sit
ting in his office when the telephone
bell rang.
Hello" he answered.
"Oh, that is Mr.. Blank, is it not?
Why do you smoke your cigars
through a .holder?"
In some astonishment the broker
put his cigar down.
No, no, do not put it down, and
if you do, find an ash tray for it."
This was so uncanny he shifted
his chair slightly from the instru-
ment
"Do not move away" continued the
voice, "and do not tug so impatiently
at your mustache."
Down went his hand.
who on earth are you?" shouted
the broker, "and how do you know
what l am doing with my cigar and
hand? You talk as if you could see
me-
An amazing reply came:
II can see you. There you are,
twitching your tie straight. AS a
matter of fact, have invented an in
strument which enables you to see
over telephone wire, and I am talk
ing to you because l cannot finance
the idea myself and want you to float
1t on half shares."'
The possibilities Of the scheme
were immense. The broker, for an
instant, saw himself dealing in vast
orders for government departments.
He saw big orders for foreign rights.
1t was one of the miracles of mod
ern science. The capitalist would
make fortune, and-then he glanced
out of the window across the street.
Beaming down at him from a win
dow, overlooking his Office, was q
row of grinning faces, among which
he recognized two or three fellow
members Of the house.
Hastily he slammed down the re-
ceiver. The rosy visions faded away,
and sadly he drew back out of sight

tier was carried to the roof Of the
building where the people could see
it; the masses never entered the tenn
pies which had been built by the sweat
Of their brows and the blood which
poured from their backs bending un-
der their burdens and the whips Of the
masters.
One evening, as our boat was tied
for the night, we walked into a little
village, to which no echo Of modern
Improvement in the way of ideas has
reached. We were escorted by two
sailors, which we thought an unnec-
essary precaution on the part of the
ships officers, but the lonely, dimly
lighted streets made us appreciate
their presence later. There were no
women to be seen on the streets, the
little shops we're full of men and groups
were seen here and there talking and
bartering with the other.
We strayed into one shadowy place,
but young Spaniard who was stand
ing picturesquely on the outside,
begged US not to enter, as the men
were already drunk with hasheesh.

Iron Ore for 200 Years.

There is still considerable amount
of iron ore in the ground, as shown
by a report on the worlds resources
presented at the International Geol-
ogical congress at Stockholm. 1t was
estimate / that the total actual 5upply
of iron ore existing in deposits that
can be worked at an economic profit
amounts to 22,403,0 100000 long tons,
representing 1O,192,CO0,O00 tons of
iron.
This total would supply the require
ments of the world for considerably
less than two centuries, even were
the present rate of output not ex-
ceeded On the average. However, the
potential resources of he world not
yet developed are estimated to
amount to 1897, 200, 900 tons of ore.
The output Of iron ore in 1912 is esti-
mated at 146 100000 tons for the ten
principal countries.

brushes Of twigs tied to the foot, which
is moved back and forth to the ac-
compartment Of chant, the boat
answering with wierd refrain, writes
Laura Grover Smith, in the Milwaukee
Sentinel
Besides the native reis, the engine
is usually in charge of European,
and on our boat was a young English
man from Yorkshire, who had lived so
far in the north Of England that he
had caught the burr of Scotland in his
voice. He had, like Kipling's engineer,
a bit of the poet in him and it was not
surprising that he loved the color of
Egypt.
National Airs Sung.
On New Years eve we celebrated
as 1913 joined the procession of the
years which had rolled by since the
Rameses ruled in Egypt. One of our
party made an eggnog and people
from all lands wished each other gifts
of fortune and happiness. The ma
tional airs were sung, in which the
young Yorkshireman with his love-
ly voice and the fat little German
steward with his excellent voice and
all the Americans, the English and the
Syrian dragoman joined enthusiastic-
ally.
1t was New Years day when we
saw the lovely temple of Denderah. 1t
was, as usual, an "Ausfug zu Esel."
as the German guidebook said The
morning was lovely, bright and cool,
and the Egyptian maize made vivid
green spots in the rich earth. From
the sakieh came the note of toll which
the people have heard for so centuries.
The fellaheen seem very happy now
for taxes are less and there is some
Joy in working.
The temple is charming as one ap-
proaches it, the columns apparently
standing out of the mountain of rock.

was celebrated here when the king, on
this one day of the year. goes to this

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS

Don't stand that itching skin humor
one day longer. Go to the nearest
druggist and get a jar of resinol oint-
ment (50c) and cake of resinol soap
(25c). Battle the eczema patches with
resinol soap and hot water, dry and
apply a little resinol ointment.
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing itching and burning stop in
stantly, you no longer have to dig and
scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
menting eruptions disappear COM
pletely and for good. Great for sun
burn. (Advt.)
