Early Marriages Rule in State.

Statistics for Wisconsin for several
years show that the proportion OF
bachelors among grooms and OF
spinsters among brides is increasing
somewhat, and that the proportions OF
widowed and divorced, especially the
latter, who make another entry into
matrimony, are decreasing notably.
The great bulk Of marriages in this
state occur between single men and
single women. Persons of former
matrimonial experience who have mar
ried again have declined in number.
perceptibly in the last three years,
particularly among those for whom
the previous marriage was ended by
divorce rather than by death.
The statistics for 1914 have just
been completed by the bureau Of vital.

THE VERY TIME
When Powerful Food Is Most Needed.

The need of delicate yet nutritious
food is never felt so keenly as when a
convalescent gets a set back on &C
count of weak stomach. Then is when
Grape-Nuts shows it's power for it is a
most scientific and easily digested
food.
about year ago. writes Kansas
woman, my little six-year-old niece
left the invigorating and buoyant air
of Kansas, where all her life she had
enjoyed fairly good health, to live in
Ohio. She naturally had a change Of
diet and of course a change Of water,
and somehow she contracted typhoid
fever.
after long siege her case seemed
hopeless, octors gave her up, and she
was nothing but skin and bones,
couldn't eat anything and for weeks
did not know even her father or moth
er Her parents, in trying to get some
thing delicate and nourishing that she
could eat, finally hit upon Grape-Nuts
food and it turned out to be just the
thing.
"She seemed to relish it, was soon
conscious Of her surroundings and be-
gan to gain strength SO rapidly that
in a short time she. was as well, play
full and robust as if she had never
been i'll.

the predominating factor in saving
the sweet little girls life"

Got Out Of the Difficulty.

Some time ago local corps was re-
viewed by Sir Ian Hamilton, and there
is story told that one of the officers
was mounted on a horse that had pre-
viousy distinguished itself in Q
bakery business.
A wag in the crowd is supposed to
have recognized the horse. for he
shouted out, "Baker!" The horse
promptly stopped dead, and nothing
could urge it on. The situation was
getting painful, when the officer wac
struck with a brilliant idea, and re-
marked, within hearing of his steed:
mot today, thank YOU"
The procession then moved on With
out further delay.-LondOn Mail.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria in EXcelsis
To earth the angels taught;
When in the low1y manger
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe of heaven laid.
Born 1owly in the darkness,
And none as poor as he,
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then,
But just the budding sheep,
The angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No fame of conquering banners,
No legions sent afar;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky a Star!

State Labor Laws Discussed.


so long as | am governor it is my
intention to be lenient in the constTuc@
ton of laws that affect the life of in
dustry within the state. 1t is not wis

far with industry that the manufac-
STOP"
This was the declaration of Gov. E.
L. Phillip speaking before the Wiscon-
sin Pea Packers association at the
annual banquet in Milwaukee.
He referred to the law limiting the
hours of labor for woman workers in
Wisconsin and the objection of the
pea Gamers to the limitations of that
law. He declared the statute is a
good one, but said calm judgment and
discretion should be used in the en-
forcement of any law that tended to
strangle industry, and thereby prove
an injury to the workingmen of the
state.
1T is proper that all laws should
be obeyed,' said Governor Philip.
industry Of the state shall be throttled
because of the law. What good would
it be to labor if the canneries should
be closed. Laws should be fair under
all conditions.
Many laws have been made in this
state in the interests Of sanitation
and health. Some have required the
installation of machinery and improve
ments. At first there were objections,
but there is not man among you who
would have the improvements removed
once they are in. They mean better
goods. They mean quality. They are
an insurance to the world that the
goods are wholesome and good.
THE state government, whatever it
may have been in the past, in the
future is going to be reasonable in
more ways than one.

j UNDECIDED.

One OF, the cases, pending in the
United States which it was believed
would decide the legality Of the
Webb-Kenyon law has been disposed
Of without going into that phase OF
the question at all.
The constitutionality Of the law
was not involved in the Kentucky
cases just decided. North Dakota
was vitality interested in the deci'
sions and the cases started by Attor-
ney General Linde doubtless will find
their way for final determination to
the highest tribunal of the nation.
In the Kentucky Legislation, prose,
cution was brought to restrict the
Transportation of liquor for personal
use. The court held that the Webb
Kenyon law was not applicable in
such cases. Attorney General Linde,
however, in his suits seeks, to place
an, embargo upon the illegal shipment
OF liquorsinto the state for sale under
the Webb.Kenyon act.
