Fair Leaves Balance of $4,000.

After all expenses are paid there
will be balance of close to five thou
sand dollars in the Wisconsin state
fair treasury, according to the esti-
mate of Secretary j. c. Mackenzie.
The total cash receipts were $7O.-
OOO.69, and Mr. Mackenzie estimates
that with the bills receivable the to-
tai will be something over $4,000.
Last year the receipts were about the
same, though the actual expenses were
S92 900, while the total expenses with
cost of permanent and temporary inn
provements, amounted to 100000.
The 1914 fair, while much better,
cost considerably less. The total ex-
penses will not exceed $4,000.
There was an increase in every de-
nartment except concessions. The ma
chinery hall brought about 5000 more
this year than last. The lumber OF
machinery exhibits far exceeded those
of 1918, despite the withdrawal OF the
three largest exhibitors-the John
Deere, the International Harvester ana
the Case companies
According to the figures or the Trans
nortation companies Milwaukee fur:
nished the greater percentage OF at
tendance at the fair, the railroads and

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of physician
In his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way, is valuable:
"An attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of me, left my
stomach In such condition could not
retain any ordinary food. l knew OF
course that must have food nourish-
ment or could never recover.
Il began to take four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
a day and for weeks this was almost
my only food. 1t tasted so delicious
that l enjoyed It immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was SO nourishing
I was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
S."Grape-Nuts is of great value as food
to sustain life during serious attacks
In which the stomach is SO deranged
it cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.
Il am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are 9TH
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."

Governors Meeting November 10.

The seventh annual session or
the governors conference will he
neld In Madison November 10 to IA.
Ihese dates were announced Sunday
by Secretary Miles G. Riley by direc-
tlon OF Governors McGovern of Wis.
consln. Ammons of Colorado and
oNe1l OF Alabama, who constitute the
executive committee o! the conference.
Whlle the program Is not yet ready
TOT announcement, it is known that
rural credits" uniformity of safety
ana sanitation laws and estate con-
troll OF natural resources are to be
prlnclpal features of the meeting. The
governors OF western states will pre-
sent their case in favor of state rather
than federal control of the conserva-
tlon programs in the different states.
secretary Riley predicts a large at.
tendance. Many new governors are
expected at the meeting, as successors
10 thlrty-one of the forty-eight COVER
nors will be elected this fall, and but
seventeen of the present incumbents
are seeking reelection. The governors.
elect as well as the former governors
and governors in Office are members
OF the conference.

absolutely essential to any program

terests which claim that under regula-
ton they cannot meet the competition
OF concerns in other states which have
less strict or no public supervision.
Many OF the states have spent large
sums of money to secure this uni.
formity, but with little success. If
there is to be uniformity it can come
only after conferences of the states.
Naturally, the governors meeting is
IN the nature of conference of the
various state governments, and while
the governors cannot consumate uni
formity Of action on any subject.
nevertheless they can accelerate the
movement
When Justice Hughes was governor
of New York he said in an address be-
fore the governors conference meet
ing in Washington in 1910:
IF it can be deemed necessary that
we should secure greater. uniformity of
state action and better state govern
ment-who shall deny this-it would
be difficult, if not impossible, to sug-
gest any better means for generating
the necessary motive power than may
be supplied through conferences of
governors
The secretary said that only four Of
the outgoing governors were candi-
dates for the United States senate, and
that one of the four was defeated in
the primaries.
Four days of the coming meeting
will be spent in the city of Madison,
and one in the city of Milwaukee.
While in Milwaukee, the members Of
the conference and their parties will
be the guests of the Chamber of Com
merce, Citizens Business league and
Merchants & Manufacturers associa'
ton.
