new WATER
RATES HERE
City Must Adopt One OF Three
SChedules-An Import
ant Question.

The Wisconsin railway rate commits
sion has ordered the city to adopt one of
three schedules of rates, depending up
on whether the city shall pay full, part
or none of the cost of water supplied for
sprinkling and fires. II the city will
bear the entire cost of fire protection the
minimum rate will be 81 10 per quarter
or T4.6O per year as against the mini
mum of $500 per year as heretofore.
The rate of 5000 cubic feet or less is 7
cents per 100 cubic feet. If the city pays
part of the fire protection cost the mini
mum will be $1.25 per quarter or $500
per year and the rate for less than 5000
cubic feet will be II cents per 100 cubic
feet.
Ii the city pays none Of the cost, the
minimum Will be 12O per quarter and
$3.50 per year and the rate will be 16
cents per 100 cubic feet.
We do not know what schedule will be
adopted but we believe from that, the
first cate named should be adopted as it
seems to us 20 be unfair to load the bur
den OF the cost of fire protection and
sprinking upon only those who use city
water. All Of the people are benefited
aud all property owners should help pay
the cost

Motor SUCCESS on Farms.

Wentworth, Wis, June 28-N. c..
Nissly is demonstrating that improv-
ed power machinery is the thing in
upper Wisconsin. He has purchased
gasoline engine and is breaking land
on his large farm at about half the
cost of doing the same work with
horses. In addition to the cheaper
cost of plowing the land, Mr.. Nissly
finds that he does not have to clear
the land SO closely as when breaking
with horses. He finds also that this
power is good for working his de-
veloped land and for making roads,
saving wood and much other work
ON the farm. There are several power
outfits in the northwestern portion of
the state and all reports are to the
effect that they save time and do bet
ter work in breaking new land. The
country here is settling rapidly with
people from Iowa and Nebraska and
other states.

his companions who spent the past week
at Rock Lake. Mr. Kleck arose at
o'clock a. m. Saturday and going on the
lake in a boat he was suddenly startled
by fierce tugging on the line. 1t was
a real fish, alive and full of fight and af-
ter an hours struggle, he succeeded in
landing it, muskallonge anu its weight
was eighteen (18) pounds. Pounds
mind you Mr.. Kleck brought it home
Sunday night and the editor of the Lead
er vouches for the story as he saw the
fish and also helped eat it. This is the
record catch at Rock Lake so far this
season. The muskallonge was caught
on large frog.

IODINE"
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D

For many years tincture of iodine
has been popular remedy for sprains
and bruises, the reason for it's use
having been that it is "counter-irri-
tant"
But iodine is now more widely en-
ployed in surgery than any other an
tiseptic. 1t has been found to disin-
feet the skin about as thoroughly as
any known agent. And at the same
time it is far less poisonous to the
cells of the body than the older chemi-
Gals, carbolic acid and bichloride of
mercury
Iodine is natural element of hui
man tissues, and hence is better
borne than foreign elements. 1t is
derived from sea-weed. Evolutionists
declare their belief that the human
organism sprang from some form of
life that once lived in the primal sea.
For cuts, scratches, sores, sprains
and bruises the handiest and safest
and least injurious antiseptic one can
apply, in the absence of medical ad-
vice, is plain tincture of iodine-the
brown liquid, not the so-called color
less" iodine, which isn't iodine at ALL
One good painting of the injured part
and the skin for a few inches around
about if Immediately applied, will
surely take care of any germs there
may be present.
1t will smart in an open wound for
a few seconds, but its secondary effect
seems to be rather anaesthetic, as
may be noted when it is applied to a
"cGnker sore" in the mouth, for
which it is a useful remedy
Of course, when the skin is once
treated with iodine Or any other ger
micide, that is enough. 1t only kills
off new tissue cells to continue apply
ing chemical afterward One thor
|ough application cleares the field of
most germs; then if simple sterile
dressings are applied the injury will
heal as fast as nature can heal it.
In spite of thousands of years ex-
perimentation nothing has ever been
found that will make new tissue cells
grow at more rapid rate than ma
ture's own dressing, clean bloodclot.
The dry scab that forms over cuts or
small wounds, if not interfered with
makes the ideal dressing. Carbolic
salve and bicloride of mercury solu-
tlons are especially injurious to the
normal healing process. These cell
destroyers often delay healing, and
sometimes actually cause local gang
rene. They should be used only on
the doctors advice.
A few drops of tincture of iodine in
cupful of water makes good gargle
or mouthwash for domestic use A
teaspoonful of iodine in a quart of
water makes useful douche or
cleaning wash where such may be
really required. AS an all-around an
tiseptic for home use iodine is SUI
peIor to carbolic acid or bichloride
of mercury, and practically non-pois-
onous.

Gently returned from trip to Alaska
1t is a part of tusk from a hairy
elephant which was found at a depth
of sixty feet while eXcavating for
mining purposes. The tusk was al
most six feet long and the entire ami
NAL was in good state of preserva-
ton, portions of the meat being fed
to dogs. The tusk is solid ivory, but
presents veneer formation at the
large end, caused probably by the
dampness of its ice-bound tomb. The
relic was placed in w. D. Sproesser
Co. jewelry store for a few days so
the public could see it. The animal
roamed the earth before probably the
present races came on earth.
