poyment to Many.

the $1,000,000 home for the feeble

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 definition
of the word, then it's derivation, and
finally a sentence in which the word
is properly used. The word 'ligament"
fell to the lot Of rather diffldent 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 ligament going
down the street."

SECRETARY OF CONSERVATION
COMMISSION ANSWERS Nu-
NERVOUS INQUIRIES
NEW STATUTE SWEEPING
Calls Attention to Fact That Birds
Are Barred From Parcel Post
by State and U. S.
Governments. a4x.

Madison.--Tn answer to communi-
cations received lately by the state
conservation commission from Wiscon-
sin saloon and hotel keepers, restaur-
ants, etc, asking if it is legal to serve
a duck, mudhen or venison lunch free,
to their guests, Secretary Scheibel of
the commission said that it is abso-
lutely a violation of the law.
at is a barter, pure and simple" he
declared. when a saloonkeeper
serves game of any kind as free
lunch it is done with the idea that it
will increase his patronage, and that
the persons who come in will spend
their money with the intention of par
taking of the game lunch.
according to section 62.10, Of the
laws 1915, no person shall sell, or bar
ter, or offer to sell or barter any deer,
or any bird for which closed season
is prescribed. No keeper, manager, or
steward of any restaurant, club, hotel,
boarding house. lodging camp, or min
ing camp, shall sell, barter, serve or
give, or cause to be sold, bartered,
served or given to the guests or board
ers thereof, the meat of any kind Of
deer, wild bird or trout of any variety
other than lake trout, at any time or
the meat of any wild animal during
the closed season, thereof"
THE conservation commission also
wishes to warn the hunters or people
against shipping game birds by parcel
post, which is against the postal regu-
lations and a violation of the state
laws as well.

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. It Pays
Big Dividends.

II parents will give just a 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
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.
ut 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 tried
Grape Nuts softened and mixed with
rich milk and he improved rapidly and
got sturdy and WELL"

Postmaster Earl w. Riley, of De-

lover of the sport of motorcycling
and has converted his motorcycle into
a motor bob sled, replacing the front
wheel with long runners, removing
the rear tire and putting spikes on
the rear wheel, as we'll as placing
long runner on each side OF the rear
wheel extending behind the machine
far enough for seats, guiding and en-
CINE control. On trial run yester-
day morning on the road with sew
eral passengers in the motor-bob, he
made a speed of As miles per hour,
while if he had been running on the
Leon pavement or smooth level
country road, he could have develop
ed a much greater speed, but II he
operates his motor-bob in Leon Mayor
Farquhar will sure gobble him up for
speeding.
