A patriotic Welshman was asked
what emblems and distinctions he
thought the new Welsh battalion of
the British army ought to wear. The
traditional emblem OF Wales is the
leek, but he thought this probably
would be inappropriate. Mr.. Lloyd
George has recently put forward the
claims of the daffodil as the Welsh ma
tional flower, but that seems to lack
historic confirmation, so 1t was agreed
that 1t was most likely that the Welsh
guard would wear a distinguishing
badge of the Prince of Wales feath-
ers. But Wales has other emblems ;
the red dragon Of her flag, for in
stance. That might be used, and as
for cap band, the national color of
Wales Is a dark green. But probably
these nice little details OF parade and
ceremony will not worry the new
guards very much. They will be born
into the all-leveling uniform OF khaki,
and there will be plenty OF time to
arrange the other little details OF scar
let and buttons.

Holds wife is Kitchen Boss.

The wife holds full sway in the
kitchen and the husband has no right
to invade these premises and inter
fere with her work This point was
settled in a divorce suit decided by
Judge Morrow at Portland, Ore.
On the grounds that he "butted in"
and criticized her kitchen work. Mrs.
Sarah v. Reese received a divorce
and $500 alimony from William B.
Reese. These were the main con-
tentions for the charge of cruel and
inhuman treatment made by Mrs.
Reese.

Eating Anything.

DR.. Lucy Barney Hall, in a letter to
the women of the Boston Business

you are inclined to without injurious
effects" That islnot true, unless one
is hale, hearty, robustious or has a
stomach Inherited from grandfather
who fought Indians back in the corn

stomachs are not of this kind. We
took lunch with agentleman the other
day who seems as rugged and healthy
as big boy, and yet he took only hard
rolls, tea and custard pie, and then
scraped the custard out of the shell.
Another gentleman said he ate pie
every lunch for four days last week,
and on tile fifth day he was laid up
for repairs, and then had to sober off
on crackers and tea. Doctor Hall is

his eating. We are all constituted diff

any rule that applies to all, and which
is 0f itself the best guaranty against
sickness, it is not to eat so much.

1t is no wonder that the average
daily circulation of The Milwaukee

not too much to say that The Journal
is the best newspaper in the middle
west It is becoming more and more
widely recognized as such. The Jour
nails Washington correspondence is
being quoted in the leading eastern
newspapers.
The Journals Sunday edition is its
greatest triumph. 1t presents in a
very clear and concise manner vast
amount of interesting and helpful in
formation concerning the state, the
nation and the world at large.

CHANGED THE TUNE.

Elk Speaker Merlin Hull has good
understanding of affairs in the state
capitol. Here is what he says in his
own forcible words in his newspaper,
The Black River Falls Journal:
Last year it was the tax eaters" who were
responsible for high taxes. A new administra-
ton promised to reduce the number of tax
eaters and lower taxes. And now, after eleven
months of manipulation by the fizzle- foozers
and money -munchers at the capital, there are
more tax-eaters than ever, 1t is not much
wonder that the head of the clan has turned the
tune to muck rakers" and protective ta1iff .
The slogan of Economy and Efficiency" which
was borrowed last year. has been very feeble of
late.
Hon L. E Gettle, who was recently removed
from the position of secretary of the State Rail
way Commission, principally because he enter
tanned the idea that the fundamental reason
for the railway commission was that of render
ing service to the people, has opened a law office
in Madison. Mr. Gettle is very able lawyer
and the loss of his position will prove of benefit
TO him in getting him back into his profession.
He will soon build up lucrative practice in the
capital city. Incidentally. he will be heard
from further in state politics, and when he
opens up on what has happened to the railway,
commission there will be still others ready to
talk about "pc objective tariff.
Sixteen months ago there were some promi-
nent people in Wisconsin who said we had too
many laws that the state going to the

PRESS POINTS

Wisconsin State Journal: We face this year
issues which put partisans to the test OF patrl-
OTIS. The Wilson administration has been won
derfully effective in living up to its platform
and working -ut its program. 1t has been an
administration of accomplishments and when
measured by several administrations that pre-
coded it, has been unusually devoted to the
interests Of all the people rather than TO the
interests of privileged few. 1t has come very
close to being genuinely democratic admins
tration If it is wise enough now to work its
nreparedness program out on truly democratic
lines. let the people themselves build their own
battle ships, forge their own guns, and make
their own ammunition, thereby saving the
PEOPLES money, doing the peoples business IN
a business way-if this can be done, there will
be no issue and no candidate who will have the
remotest chance Of defeating Woodrow Wilson
for reelection,
Waterloo Democrat: The time Will come
and we think it will come soon, when every
where in the United States, Woodrow Wilson
will be recognized by people Of every natlonal1-
tv as the greatest statesman now living IN the
world. He has guided this great nation during
a time of terrible strain, in such way as 10
keep peace with homer. His acts have been
misunderstood and criticised by one nationality
and then by another, but he has kept his
patience and has kept faith with his conscience.
This is time for all good citizens regardless
of their party affiliations, to stand by President
Wilson. The very fact that both sides are
cri,icising him proves his fairness.

mysterious woman who was known as
the "Witch of the Adirondacks,' lies

Ward, thirty-two, who has not risen

Mrs. Sarah Bennett, sixty years old, is

Wank Talbot of this place in May,
1914. While she dwelt in her lonely

FIND FOUR POUND TOOTH.
Discovered In Gravel Pit In illinois.
BELONGED to Prehistoric Animal.

Danville, Ind.-A gigantic tooth, be-
lieved to have belonged to some pre-
historic animal, was found in gravel
pit at Hoopeston. Archie Dukes no
ticed the tooth in the gravel that had
just been brought to the surface. 1t Is
Of oval shape at the top, is about six
inches in length and is two and one

weighs four and one-quarter pounds.
The ivory on the grinding surface of
the tooth is in the form of edges Or
strips, arranged transversely, and in
circular designs, with the dentine worn
down between the cutting edges, which
are about one-quarter Of an inch apart
The cutting edges are black and still

the size of the tooth, the jaWbOne of
the animal must have been two or
three feet in length.

A CONTRAST.

In opening the sixty fourth congress
the Democrats displayed fine spirit of
true democracy; while the Republicans
displayed contrary spirit, call it what
you may. Every paragraph in the
presidents message breathed faith in
the genius of common men for self gov
eminent; and the democratic members
of the committees of the house were Sc
lected in fair and open manner in the
party caucas. Representative Cooper
of the first Wisconsin district, who occa-
sionally shows symptoms of democracy
in a mild form, tried to have the Re-
pubiicans to select their members in
like manner. But the steam roller was
run over Mr. Cooper, and the power Of
selecting the Republican members Of
the committees was all given over to
Floor Leader Mann.
Here is an important lesson in poll
tics. 1t shows plainly the lines Of di-
vergence between the two great parties.
1t is lesson upon which young voters
especially ought to lay hold. If they
would fully avail themselves of the
rights and privileges of self government,
the Democratic party holds open to
them the door of opportunity.
