STUDY AND EXERCISE

Study does not hurt a child unless the
study time is taken from time that should
be spent in out-of-door exercise.
Oyerstudy and lack of exercise make
thin, bloodless children. 1t is a COM
bination that provokes St. Vitus' dance.
If your child is thin and pale, ist!exs,
inattentive, has tickle appetite and is
unable to stand still or sit still, you must
remember that health is even more i'm.
portant than education.
See to it at once that the patient does
not overstudy, gets at least two hours
out-ot-door exercise every day, sleeps
ten hours out of every twenty-four and
takes non-alcoholic tonic like DIR. Will
iams' Pink Pills until the color returns
to cheeks and lips and the appetite be-
comes normal.
For growing children who become pale
and thin Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not
only safe but in the great majority of
cases they are the very best tonic that
can be taken. They build up the blood
and strengthen the nerves and assist
nature in keeping pace with rapid growth.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N Y, will send you two
books on the blood and nerves If you
mention this paper. If your child is very
young ask for the booklet "The Care of
the Baby" Your own druggist sells DR..
Williams Pink Pills.

EXPRESS CAR BDRNS
On MIDNIGHT FLYER

An express car on the midnight flyer
Iof the C. & N. w. road Thursday, run
ing from Chicago to st. Paul, caught
fire evidently from defective stove
and was totally destroyed, efforts OF
the train crew to extinguish the flames
being unavailing. The fire was discov-
cred near Clinton junction by the ex-
press messenger. 1t was impossible to
stop at Clinton and the train was driven
at high speed to Shopiere where it was
thought stop could be made. Famed
by the speed of the train the car was
flaming torch by the time Shopiere had
been reached and it was with difficulty
that the ear was uncoupled from the
train. There was nothing left but the
trucks and iron work, the car and con-
tents being total loss.-Janesville

Oh0f Bird Re-
fuge.

Some time ago the Southern! Wiscon-
sin Power company offered to give about
5000 acres of partly submerged land on
the Wisconsin river, near the Prairie
du Sac dam, for a state park. The
idea was to make it bird refuge and
game protective reserve, where birds
and game could find refuge from hunt
ers during breeding time. Even the
idea does credit to the benevolent in
genuity and public spirit of President
Swensen, of the Power Co., even though
the proposition should have involved a
purchase price for the land. Yet this
practical and much needed gift to Wis
consin was turned down by the Sank
county board because it was suspected
that the Power companyIwanted to get
the land off their tax roll. 1t would
only be fair to presume that the county
board followed the suggestion of the
usual chronic economic member, with
out really understanding the nature of
the proposition. = Kilbourn Events.

a Blackboard Step

A writer of fiction, Frank Convey
Jones, who has contributed some I'M
usually interesting and meritorious
stories to Golfers and McClure's has
been for some time confined in the
Michigan penitentiary. He has been
released. This, we fear, is backward
step says a Kansas Exchange. So
many of uH writer people are out of
jail who have been generally desired in
Jail, that it would seem d mistake to
take one of usEout of sjail who finally
has been sent there. The extenuating
circumstances surrounding Mr.. Jones
were marked. BGt do mere extenuat-
ing circumstances warrant any governor
in letting any writer out Of any Jail
in the face of the popular demand that
all writer's ought to DO in Jail? If we
are going to have reaction let us react!

HoG You .AdU0nce i'm O6iS
World

David Grayson, writing 'Hempfeld, "
il the February American Magazine,
comments as follows on ths doors Of
America.
There are two ways by which men
advance in this world-ens is by doing,
the other by being We Americans,
these many years, have been eultiva-
ing and stimulating the doors. We
have made the doors our heroes, and
have therefore had no poetry, ne art,
no music, no sspersonality, and, was
going to say, no religion. Doing leads
the way to riches, power, reputation,
and if it occasionally lands q man in
the penitentiary, still we'feel that there
is something grand about it, and reflect
that the same process also leads TO the
Senate or the White House or palace
on Fifth avenue.
