ling Experience While Crossing
Sank River.

Friday of last week while Charles
Veeder and family, residing south of
Sank Centre, were enroute to attend
the Farmers Picnic held on the Walk
er farm, they endeavored to ford
Sank River, and save distance. When
half way across the team become mir

in rather perlious condition. An 49,
year-old daughter managed to reach

ting the people and team from their
very uncomfortable predicament.

HI. r. HalverSOn~

was in very quiet transformations
way an important factor, and never
has a woman been taken from our
midst whose departure has left a
greater vacancy. Her loss will be
felt in every place where women come
together. She was interested in all
civic improvements and the better
ment of our city, in church work, be-
ing a member of the Episcopal choir
for many years.
But in her home is where her good
qualities were best seen. If one word
could be used to sum up all, it would
be the word "home-maker," for Mrs.
Sprague gave her first and best
thought to her home. She loved it's
every corner; she loved every little
plant in her garden, and her individ-
ual touch may be seen in everything
in and about the home.
A mobile woman, nobly planned"
has gone. Her virtues and graces
cannot be expressed in words. She will
live in the momory of her friends for
ever, and their love for her was well
shown by the beautiful flowers that
filled her home upon the day Of the
funeral.
Those of her immediate family sur
viving her are her husband, Cassius
M. Sprague, her son, Fayette w.
Sprague, her sister, Mrs. Eva Car
penter of San Francisco, and her
niece, Esther L. Sprague. To these
go the love and sympathy of great
host of friends.-Contribut

CHURCH Meeting
LARGELY ATTENDED
ANNUAL GATHERING OF CEN
TRIAL MINNESOTA CONGRE-
GATIONALISTS, SUCCESS.
ADDRESS BY MRS. F. MORSE
EVERY NUMBER OF EXTENSIVE
PROGRAM FILLED-LIKE
SAUK CENTRE.

Sank Centre entertained the 23rd
Annual meeting of the Central Asso-
citation of Congregational churches of
Minnesota at the Congregational
church Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. Delegates were present
from large number of the churches
in the district. Rev. Henry Holmes,
of Monticello, was elected moderator
of the gathering. He also delivered
the association sermon Tuesday even
ing, and it is said to have been most
scholarly and entertaining address.
The program was somewhat extern
sive for each session, but every num-
Der was filled, and on the whole the
Sank Centre meeting was one Of the
best ever held by the organization.
The place for holding next years
meeting has not been selected, this
being left to a standing committee.
Rev. Osten-Sacken of Alexandria was
elected to deliver the association ser
mon next year with Rev. G. C. Cog
gins, of Glenwood, as alternate.
The feature of the convention was
the address given last evening by
Mrs: Fanny French Morse, matron of
the Home School for Girls, from the
topic, "The Efficient Church-A View
from the Outside" Mrs. Morse dealt
largely with the new social conditions
and the adjustment of the church to
meet conditions. The church was crit
icized in some instances for a lack of
appreciation of their responsibility
and opportunity, and also given due
credit for the splendid work in which
it was doing in other directions.
Tuesday evening the delegates were
given an auto ride about the city,
which included a trip to the Home
School for Girls. But few of the Wis
itors had any conception Of the mag
nitude, beauty and practicability of
this institution.
The visitors with one accord were
delighted with Sank Centre and the
very cordial manner in which they
were treated by the people Of this
city.
The following is the list of dele
gates from outside towns and cities:

HORSES HIGH IN QUALITY

The quality of Minnesota's horses is
improving. The average value of
horses in Minnesota in 1910 was Sill.
In 1915 it was SIPS. The change, ac-
cording to "A Report on the Horse
breeding Industry in Minnesota" by ].
S. Montgomery, University farm, st.
Paul, is due to the fact that from 1910
to 1915 the number of pure-bred sires
increased from 37.4 per cent to 48.6
per cent of the whole number in the
state. The number of sires increased
from 1851 to 1850 in five years, and
the number of pure breds from 1927
to 1878.

EvERYBoDY's COUNTRY

For many years upper Wisconsin
was looked upon and discussed as the
poor mans country" Poor men
went there with empty hands-and
they succeeded. In the upper half
of the state there are probably fifty
thousand farms-the owners of which
have millions of dollars in the banks.
Those who went there few years
ago have fine homes and splendid
barns The upper communities have
built better roads and bridges than
prevail in the older portions of the
state-immeasurably better Their
schoolhouses and schools are super
ior. Such progress has been made
and the fertility of the soil has been
so demonstrated that men noted for
their agricultural knowledge have
said that when fully developed the
upper portion will be the best part
of the state.
Then came the question whether
or not it was a mistake to label the
upper counties as the poor mans
country-whether or not at the be-
ginning it should not have been
called everybody's country. And
how did this question arise? Simply
from the fact that men of means
became attracted to that portion OF
the state. They were men of super
ior knowledge and judgment. Be-
meath the stumps and rubbish they
soil. They had the capacity to rec
ognize the vast markets that sur
round the region of unsettled lands
| in upper Wisconsin,, and they could
see that those markets would grow
more rapidly in the future than IN
the past. They readily saw that the
present great industrial activity Of
the upper country was but a sugges-
ton of what it will be in the future.
These men did not need to be
persuaded to buy land and improve
lit. They came, not because they
did not want to go elsewhere. Their
means not only enabled them to has
ten the development of the country,
but also to employ those who tenn
porarily needed an income other
than that which in the early years
Of their settlement they could st
from the land. Now upper Wiscon-
sin has become everybody's country
and it's development is going ahead
much more rapidly than in the past.

THE MANONTHEGROUND

Not so very long ago, when the
government stepped into the fight
between the mail order house and
the rural merchant, and organized
the rural free delivery system and
the parcel post, many a good mer-
chant threw up his hands and calm
ly expired-in a business way. But
the wise man, the man who used
his head, began to figure what he
could get out of the parcel post and
the free delivery that would give
him q chance to compete with the
mail order house Like all great in
SEPARATIONS, the answer was simple:
do as the mail-order man does. Get
a mailing list and go after the bus
mess" And the acknowledgement"
got busy. In the first place he had
his local paper which circulated
throughout his territory each week.
He advertised with catchy specials,
and got people to write in for them,
sending them out by parcel post. He
got list of every buyer in his ter
ritory, went to the newspaper office
and had some attractive circulars
printed, and circularized his names.
After a while he had a complete
mail-order list of satisfied custom
ers. People found they could get
goods right at home, practically, for
the same money they could buy them
for in the large cities, and goods
came quicker. There were no waits,
no broken packages nor missing ar
ticles. In fact the acknowledgement
proved to them he had a mall-order
house right at their doors that could
deliver the goods as cheaply and
quicker than the catalog houses. And
the acknowledgement" got his bus
mess. The lesson in this little ia
BILE is quite plain to every merchant
who reads it. The enormous business
of the catalog houses has been built
on advertising, business methods,
hustle and stick-to-itiveness. With
every advantage on his side he can
hold up and increase his business.
All the acknowledgement" has to do
is to be "Johnny-on-the-spot."

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Ladysmith Citizen

The public endorsement Of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would not
do so. Telling ones experiences
when it is for the public good is an
act Of kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following statement
given by resident of Ladysmith
adds one more to the many cases of
Home Endorsement which are being
published about Doan's Kidney Pills.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeless
locks and they become lark,
glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
wher It fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur il the
hair. Our grandmother made up a mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade of
hair which is SO attractive, use only this
Old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for q so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. Be-
sides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp
itching and falling hair. You jus5
dampen q sponge or soft brush with IL
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after O. few applica-
tons, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance of
abundance.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

CONSUMPTION IN THE HOUSE

CONSUMPT IN The 7oOeE
The following query and answer
will doubtless be of interest ana
value in hundreds OF Wisconsin
homes.
I'VE have a tubercular patient
under treatment in our home, where,
Also. four young women are taxing
their meals. Please recommend TO
ne the best course to pursue; should
we let the bOarders go, Or can salts
factory safeguards be furnished them
under such conditions? We desire
to be fair to everyone concerned"
Your problem is to be considered
from two angles, 1st-What is best
for the patient; and 2nd-What IS
best for the boarders.
Personally, l am convinced that
every patient suffering from tubercu-
losis should, if at all possible (and
it is usually possible for an ind1Vld-
ual patient), be treated in a tuber-
culosis sanatorium. The chances OF
recovery are seldom so good under
any other conditions. If, therefore,
arrangements can be made to have
the patient enter a sanatOrium, you
will do best for the patient, for the
boarders. and for your own family.
Concerning the second and alter
native phase Of the problem, it IS
not at all impossible for we'll people
to live in fairly close contact with
consumptives without serious danger
to their health. 1t is being done eV-
cry day in the sanatOria. In your
problem of safeguarding the board
ers, the greatest demand is for the
patient to be furnished with separate
dishes which should be washed and
handled separately from those used
by the family and boarders. A prac-
teal suggestion for private families
is offered by sanatoria which use
dishes of different pattern for pa
tents than that Of dishes used for
those not suffering from the disease.
This makes accidental mixing almost
impossible.
Preventing tuberculosis requires
more intelligent vigilance than pro
found knowledge because there is but
| one source of danger in pulmonary
consumption and that is i'll the dis
charges from the patients lungs.
| But there are many possible ways
| in which a person who is in close
contact with a patient can get the
germs of the disease in his system
during a tWenty-four day. Here are
few of the most important warn
| ings:
Don't shake hannds with a con
sumptive.
Don't kiss a cOnsumptIVe.
Don't drink from his glass.
| Don't handle bedding, papers
cloths, etc, without thoroughly wash
ing hands afterwards and possibly
rinsing them in alcohol.
Burn the discharges. If they are
collected in paper napkins, or paper
boxes this will be accomplished mos
easily.
A consumptive should be urged
and taught to be unusually clearly II
his habits. Then, to double the safe
guards, his attendants themselves
should be unusually cleanly.
Write for packet of literature
which will be mailed without cos
to you.
