Many Applications For Fish

Preparatory to the distribution of fish
from the state hatcheries, the depart
ment Of the commissioners of fisheries
is working on the compilation of appli-
cations for fish to plant in the inland
streams and lakes of Wisconsin. On
February Z some s, 900 applications were
on file. The applications cover all food
and game fishes common in Wisconsin
waters. To supply this great demand
it will require the transportation of
over $4,000 ten gallon shipping cans.
The first shipments will consist of
brook trout. Rainbow trout will follow.
Lake trout will be distributed from the
hatcheries at Bayfield,, Sturgeon Bay
and Sheboygan during the month of
April. The wall eyed pike are shipped
during May and are propagated at Osh-
kosh, Minocqua, Delafield and Spooner.
The applications show the keen in
terest of sportsmen all over the state.

Farmers Should Own SepdrdtOrS.

There are a number of very good
reasons why farmer should own and
operate cream separator. The other
day while addressing meeting of Hi,
nois dairymen, C. E. Lee of the College
of Agriculture of the University OF Wis
consin, enumerated the following:
1. There is little or no loss of skim
milk which of course has high feeding
value.
2. There is less danger of introduce
ing such contagious diseases as tuber-
culosis into the herd if the milk is
skinned at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
3. Time is saved by not hauling whole
milk to the factory.
4. Less products have to be cared
for upon the farm.
5. There is wider market for cream
than for milk.

StrOnq Word From a Preacher

Extract from sermon by the Rev.
James L. Gordon, Central Congrega-
tional Church, Winnipeg, CAM
One of the greatest crimes of which
l know is the crime, of bringing family
into existence and then failing to make
proper provision for its members. Ii
were not preacher | would be an in
Surance man.
have, in the line of my profession,
visited sorrow stricken homes and across
the door of one have seen written, in
glittering sunbeams, the words s'Provid-
ed For" and across the door of another
I thought could trace in bitter tears
the words fNot Provided For"-oh,
what suggestions of debt, distress, un-
certainty, anxiety, gloom. | said to a
woman whose husband was dying:
Suppose, suppose he should die!" And
she answered. "Our home is almost
paid for, and we have an insurance
policy" A marriage license and an in
surance policy ought to go together.
l carry evrey dollars worth of insur-
ance which my income will permit.
The handsomest compliment which a
poor man can pay to his wife is wrapped
up in an insurance policy the payments
of which are kept up.
Literature means intelligence. Insur-
ance means stability, permanency and
security.
There are three things which a man
ought to know when he is dying. He
ought to know that he is at peace with
God. He ought to have the satisfaction
of knowing that he has accomplished
something for humanity. He ought to
know that his loved ones are provided
for to the best of his ability.
Within the realm of human need,
comfort, foresight and kind provision
for loved ones insurance is the most
practical form of applied Christianity of
which have any knowledge. A poor
mans best investment is an insurance
policy. And that home possesses one
strong anchor, at least, which can boast
of such a document among its archives.

M> hEDtWno6hD DIRECTOR ~

Strong feet make strong found
alton for a strong body. A very
large proportion of all people have
weak feet and ankles. One should
be as unconscious of the sensation
of discomfort in his feet as he is in
his hands; but few are so fortunate.
AS a rule shoes are not we'll
adapted to their purpose. Their
object should be to protect feet
from injury, wet and cold. With
too many they are utilized to COM
press a naturally useful and good
looking member into deformed
lump at the lower end of the leg.
Normal ankles and feet do not
need to be splinted and supported
any more than normal wrists and
hands do. High shoes and ankle
braces weaken until they become
necessary after a time. Even weak
ankles and feet can be strengthen
ed by exercise. For other weak
ness one doesn't willingly adopt a
crutch permanently. That is what
is done when high shoes are used
to support children's ankles.
Cold feet are due primarily to
shutting off blood circulation and
free movement. One of the best
preventives of cold feet is wearing
low shoes Caters may be worn in
snow and by women when the bot
toms of their skirts are likely to be-
come wet. Most people who wear
low shoes in the summer change to
high ones by the calender and not
because of any sensation of cold.
They haven't been cold but they
think they will be. Many of our
habits have no more sensible found
alton.
Heels on shoes are an abomina-
ton. Originally they were prob
ably adopted to distinguish their
wearers as member of the leisure
class. Obviously, no hard pyhsi-
cal work could be done upon such
high heels as those affected by
some women.
Strong, capable feet are impor-
tant on their own account. In d.
rectly they ale even more impor-
tant. Unwiiiingness to use pain
ful feet in wholesale play and need
ed exercise has frequently been re-
sponsible for general weakness of
the entire body. This general weak
ening invites specific infection and
disorders which are responsible for
serious disease and premature
death.
Weak ankles and feet may be
permanently strengthened by a
simple exercise. Turn toes in, heels
far apart. Rise qnickly on tip toe,
sink slowly to heel. Repeat IS
times Gradually increase number
as strength increases. Toes should
not be turned out in standing and
walking. Keep feet parallel.

"california Syrup of Figs" best for tender stomach, liver, bowels
 tastes delicious.

Look back at your childhood days Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel. cathartics How you hated them how you fought against taking them
 With your children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little 'insides' are injured by them
 If your childs stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only de- hcious "Callfornia Syrup of Figs Its action is positive. but gentle. Mil lions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver an bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow

PRETTY TURN
 GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young Nobody can tell if you use Grandmother's simple recipe
 of Gage Tea and Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compound
 ed, brings back the natural colon and lustre to the hair when faded streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot tie of this famous old recipe for about 90 cents.
 Don't stay grayl Try 1t! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after an. other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.-AdY. 431
