"DOdsOn's Liver Tone" Starts Your Liver
Better Than CaIOmeI and You Don't
Lose a Days Work

Liven up your sluggish liverl Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-
tion. But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramping.
Listen to me! If you want to enjoy
the incest, gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced just take
spoonful of harmless Qodson's Liver

Ticky Cattle Bring Low
Prices.

Washington, II. Z" Al er
an eight months fight, the
foot and moulh disease has
been practically stamped out
and the danger OF another
great destructive animal
plague averted. For this the
country has reason to be
thankful, for American live
stock already suffers from
disease to an exteat OF which
few persons are fully aware.
Hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the cattle tick cause an annual
boss to the country which
reaches SO high into the mil
hons of dollars that it is al
most impossible even for
trained statisticlans to estl-
mate it. The direct loss in
deaths can be computed with
reasonable accuracy but tn e
indirect losses which agricul-
ture in all its branches suff' RS
whenever and wherever the re
is a scarcity Of stock cannot be
reckoned at all.
Hog cholera and tnber-
culosis prevail throughout the
country; cattle ticks are con-
fined to one section, the South.
Hog cholera and tuberculosis
present problems which science
has not yet thoroughly solved;
cattle ticks already have been
eliminated in an area OF more
than 2s3,288 square miles and
can be eliminated in the rest Of
the infested territory when
ever the people really de-
termine to rid themselves of
the pest.
1t is no secret that the
amount Of live stock in the
country by no means has kept
pace with the growth Of popu-
lation. For many years It'll
actually decreased, and all
though the Official figures Tor
January I, 1915, show a slight
increase over the corresponds
ing ones for 1914, this increase
is far from proportionate to
that in population. The price
of meat has risen steadily and
the future of the country's
supply has become a matter
of grave concern.
Greater production OF live
stock upon the farms undoubt-
edly would go far toward solv-
ing the problem. This is
especially true Of the South.
In an estimate quoted recently
by the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture, it was stated that the
average farm home in Georgia
produced less than one-twelfth
of beef in the course of a
year for each person on 1t |
Instead Of producing beet to
sell to the rest of the country, /
the South imports much of
what it consumes.
For this condition OF affairs
specialists hold two things
responsible-cotton and ticks.
The danger in one-erop sys.
fem OF agriculture has now
been made apparent and there

Al COMPARISON BY CONTRAST.

A few statistics of the Civil war as
compared with the present European
war might be interesting to many OF
the old soldiers. The total population
of the United States at the beginning
of the Civil war was something less
than "a, 100000 and the present po-
pulation of Great Britain, France,
Russia, Belgium, Servia, Germany,
and Austria, according to the World
Almanac, is about 36S, 200, 600 or about
eleven times that of the United States
at the commencement of the rebellion
Statistics show that about 100000
had enlisted in the Union army,
navy and marine corps and about l.
500, 600 in the Confederate service.
These figures do not include re-enlist-
mentS of which there were about 500
600 in the Union service and limited
number in that of the Confederacy.
During the Rebellion 1885, 900 were
killed or died of wounds in the Union
| service and about the same number
in the Confederate service. If the
war is carried to the same extreme
that our war was there will be over
40, 100000 soldiers engaged and deaths
from wounds alone will be over 2,OOO,-
900. We believe that Sherman's de-
finition for war still holds good only
| more so.

QUITE A MIXUP.

About midnight Tuesday mysteri-
Gus stranger attempted to appropri-
ate, for his own private use, @. A.
Cowee's bicycle from the porch of his
home at $40 South Fifth avenue, but
was frustrated in his evil design by a
policeman who was onto his job and
who had been in hiding purposely for
this frequent night visitor who had
occasionally taken and used the wheel
during nocturnal visits there, each
time returning it to it's place on the
porch. AS soon as discovered in the
act by the officer he dropped the
bicycle and ran away, the officer after
him and firing couple of shots in his
direction in hopes of overhauling him,
but without avail or identity. Later
it was found that boy had been shot
in the leg. The officer got busy, went
into house and found Leo Johnson,
lad of fifteen years, with slight
flesh wound in the calf of one of his
legs and who declared he did not
know who shot him or where it came
from. There the matter rest S
the boy is at liberty and nursing his
wound and Mr.. COwee is now in sole
possession of his bike.

SOCIETY ITEMS
Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In Wausau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers.

The great event of the social season
of the Wausau High school occurred
last Friday evening when the Roths-
schild pavilion was the scene of a
most pleasant dancing party. There
were just enough people dancing to
make it pleasant; not a crowd. A
large number of the graduating class
were present as were also number
of the parents of the pupils.
The decorations were in the class
colors of the graduates, green and
white. The large beams twenty feet
above the floor were with difficulty
covered with the green boughs of
pine balsam and hemlock trees.
These boughs were also distributed
around the hall, intermingled
with branches of pink and white
artificial flowers.
The grand march was led by Lester
Komers and Miss Gladys Schilling.
A novel march had been arranged
and to those watching, the march
was exceedingly unique and pretty.
A reception had been in progress be-
fore the grand march from eight to
nine. Dancing was enjoyed from nine
until one. Just the waltz, two-step
and redowa comprised the order of
dances. The young people had diff
Guilty in dancing the redowa and most
of them enjoyed watching the older
ones as they very gracefully executed
the steps. The evening, so far as the
weather was concerned, was perfect
one and the event was a pronounced
success.
