FOR THE SAKE OF OUR BOYS.

A mother having expressed her re
greet at the lukewarmness of certain
preacher on the prohibition question,
received the reply, But, my dear
woman, it is not necessary to urge
1t. 1t is right and is sure to come,
It may be twenty or, perhaps, ten
years, but what matters few years,
more or less?" What matters a few
years?" replied the mother with deep
feeling. IF your boy or my boy are
to be among those who will be ruined
in the saloons in these ten or twenty
years, 1t would seem q matter of
infinite importance how soon thu
liquor traffic was exterminated."

DRISKELL HELD MONOMANIAC
Youth Who Has Four Times Con.
feSsed Murder of Alice Mathews
Is Found Insane.

Minneapolis, Oct 26.-Alfred Dris-
kell who has four times confessed
to the murder of Miss alice Matthews,
was found insane by three aienists
who examined the suspect before w.
e. Bates, court commissioner. Dris-
kell, the physicians said, was suffer
ing from monomania. He was COM
mitted to the state hospital at Roch-
ester following the verdict.
In making their decisions, Drs. T.
F. Quimby, L. F. Foote and L. M.
Crafts, who comprise the examining
board, secuted the idea that Driskell
had committed the Matthews murder.
They made their decision after ques-
tioning the man for more than an
hour, mostly on the question of time.
His mother had stated that Alfred
had been at home on the night Of
the murder until II p. m. Driskell,
in his story, insisted that he had met
the Matthew girl before that hour.

New Definition.

"The study of etymology,'' says the
Philadelphia Record, causes no end
of trouble among that class of school
children whose knowledge Of English
is limited to words which figure in the
ordinary street conversation, and
many curious results have followed.
The custom usually observed by the
teachers is to require such a definition
Of the word, then it's derivation, and
finally sentence in which the word
is properly used. The word ''ligament"
fell to the lot Of rather difhdent boy
recently. He defined it properly as "a
band" but followed up the correct
derivation with this remarkable SEN
tence: Il was wakened up last night
by hearing brass Hgament going
down the street.

$4,000 FOR THE
WISCONSIN FAIR
Money viii Be Available When
Land Is Acquired.
NEW FEATURES ARE PLANNED
SWine and Sheep Barns to Accommo-
date About $500 Animals and
Addition to Grand Stand
Are Contemplated.

Madison.-When condemnation pro-
ceedings adding ten acres to the state
fair grounds on the east are concluded,
$4,000 will be available for improve
ments on the state fair grounds before
the 1916 fair. Before this money is
available, however, deeds to the land
must be filed in the Office Of the sec
Rotary Of state, and the property duly
accepted by Commissioner Of Agri-
culture C. p Norgord.
Commissioner Norgord conferred
with District Attorney label in Milwau-
kee. He discovered that the con-
demnation proceedings are progress
ing, and that there seems to be moth
ing in the way Of final transfer Of the
land to the state within thirty days.
Upon conclusion of condemnation
proceedings there will be available
for immediate use for the state fair
1000 for swine and sheep barns and
$4,000 for two additional sections OF
the concrete grandstand.
The new swine and sheep barns will
accommodate about $500 animals, and
the additional sections Of the grand
stand will give the stand total seat
ing capacity of 5000, with Y boxes
each seating y persons. There also
will be about 10000 square feet OF
space in the new grandstand for ex~
hibits.
1t is expected that plans for the
1916 state fair will be thoroughly dis
cussed by department Of agriculture
officials and the state fair advisory
board early in November, probably in
Milwaukee.

Alfalfa Attracts Iowa Farmers.

The alfalfa display in the Wisconsin
exhibit at the central Iowa fairs at
tracted intense attention. The Iowa
farmers, wisely or unwisely, have con-
Guided that their conditions are not
generally suited to the production of
this wonder forage plant. 1t is prob
able that as far as this applies to the
great black soil prairies of that state
they are correct in their conclusions.
They appreciate fully the value of al
falfa to the stockgrower and dairy
man.
They are keen to the fact that near
Iy all Of the state of wisconsin is
splendidly suited to the production Of
large yields of alfalfa, and that Wis
consin alfalfa is of the highest quality.
The situation is overwhelmingly inter
esting to the Iowa stockgrower. Scores
of Iowa stockgrowers and dairymen
said that they were coming to locate
in Wisconsin and that they were 60
ing to grow alfalfa-and yet probably
65 per cent of the farmers of the state
have not yet started to grow this great
plant.

This levy is entirely for educational
purposes with the exception of $1,000
which the legislature provided as the
tax levy to comply with the constitu-'
tional requirement. AS compared with
the levy of 1914 the present levy is
$841,628 less.
The tax levies of the last three
years are as follows: 1913, $685.
318; 1914, $5,272,363; 1915, $4,430,-
1873.
In connection with the reduced tax
levy must be taken in considera-
ton various appropriations made By
the last legislature which materially
affect state finances and which accrue
directly to the benefit of the tax pay
ers: For example, the terminal tax
bill, which carries back to counties IN
which terminal railway property is To-
Gated fully $4,000, and the payment
Of 100000 annually upon the retire,
ment of certificates Of Indebtedness.
The state tax levy for the present
year would have been lower If the
state tax commission had not this
year increased the valuation Of taxa
BILE property in the state S130,00O,OOO,
thus increasing the sO-called mill
taxes for the support Of the univer-
sity, normal schools and common
schools. All OF the money raised by
state taxes, except that for interest
on the state debt and the $1,000 lev
led for general purposes, will be re-
turned to the taxpayers in the form OF
state aid for educational purposes.
1t was impossible to make the tax
levy lower this year without taking
more money out of the general fund
Of the state treasury and applying it
ton OF the general fund, considering
the demands on it to meet legislative
appropriations for the coming year,
would justify.
The levy was fixed after twO-day
conference attended by Governor Phil
ipp, Secretary of State Donald, State
Treasurer Johnson, Assemblyman L.
G. Whittet and other state officers.
Estimates of receipts and disburse-
ments for the coming year were made
and considered before the levy was
decided on.
At the time the secretary of state
certifies to the county clerks the
amount Of the tax levy for each coun-
ty he will also include the special
charges against each county for the
care of insane persons in state asy-
lums and dependents in other state
institutions and the school district
loans due.

Limits power Of Education Board.

Limits Power Of Education Board.
That the state board of education
is not empowered to require the uni
versity, Stout Training school at Men
Ominee, or the Wisconsin Mining
school at Platteville to submit to the
board for it's approval budgets or es-
Inmates and that the authority of the
officers and governing boards Of these
institutions to make expenditures for
these schools is not conditioned upon
approval of such expenditures by the
board is the conclusion of Attorney
General Owen in a lengthy opinion to
the board.
This is not in conflict but in &C
cord with and fully recognizes the
duty and authority of the board Of ed
ucation to require such budgets and
estimates" says Attorney General
Owen, ito be submitted to it in tie
aid of its duties to inquire and ad-
wise. 1t is not intended, however, to
deal with or intimate any opinion with
respect to the authority Of the board
or it's control over the disbursements
of moneys for educational institutions
in those cases, where the legislature
has made the appropriation directly
to the state board of education"
In commenting upon his interpreta-
ton of the state board of education
law, Mr. Owen says that he is fully
persuaded that it was not the inten-
fi0n Of fha legislature 10 give the
board positive or direct control over
the disbursements OF moneys appro-
priated to the officers or governing
boards of any of the educational insti-
buttons of the state receiving state
aid, except where expressly provided
in the statute. This conclusion, of
course, does not apply to expenditures
for new buildings constructed or lands
purchased for the schools.

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. Ii Pays

If parents will give just little in
telligent thought to the feeding OF
their children the difference in the
health OF the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes: "Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a.
change in the character Of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times a day with coffee and so much
meat.
Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
"It would be hard to fully describe
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and We
attribute this change to the food ele.
ments that, understand, exist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
"A short time ago my baby was
teething and had great deal Of stom-
ach and bowel trouble. Nothing
seemed to agree with him until I tried
Grape Nuts softened and mixed with
rich milk and he improved rapidly and
got sturdy and well"
