of the work also, and had a contest Of
their own in which eight girls took
part. Plans are being made now Tor
such contests among the girls at Colby
and University of Maine. also this
wear We need s25 for local prizes in
each school and SIS for the prizes in
the State contest. The local unions Of
the W. G. T. L. at each college town
have very kindly offered to help fur
nish the prizes for the girls contests.
But as the study classes and con-
tests are not an end in themselves,
but simply a means to an end, the To-

ing TO fulfill the second part of their
slogan by creating an intelligent senti-
ment against drinking customs in the
colleges where that exists. and by send
ing out deputation teams to help in
strengthening public sentiment.
Il have been given a most cordial
welcome by both the students and fac

A pharmaceutical station at the uniyer.
sitv Of Wisconsin is investigating the
raising Of medical plants, with a view TO
making this country less dependent on
Europe for its drug supply. During the
last spring and summer the director of
the station and his assistants have been
experimenting with a new source of thy
mol. The source is a weed common IN
many parts Of Wisconsin. Thymol. since
the beginning of the war. has become
very expensive and the supply is limited.
The use of this oil is in fighting the
hook-worm disease in the south. Conse-
quently, because of its need, and because
of the exorbitant price at which il now
sells. any native plant found to be a good
source of this oil will be a welcome dis
covery The work OF the station is now
directed toward showing the real value OF
this weed, which it has claimed is a val
liable source Of this drug and to develop
the production of this plant so that thy
mol can be obtained in Winconsin in the

A Message To Thin
Weak Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 Pounds
Of Solid, Healthy Permanent Flesh.

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
Il can't understand why l do not get
fat. l eat plenty of good nourishing
food The reason is just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much
YOU eat, unless your digestive organs
assimilate the fat making elements of
your food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is means of gently
urging the aSSimilatiVe functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to
the blood. where they may reach the
starved. shrunken, run down tissues
and build them up. The thin persons
body is like a dry sponge-eager and
hungry for the fatty materials of
which it is being deprived by the fail
ure of the almentary canal to take
them from the food. A splendid way
Of working to overcome this sinful
waste Of flesh building elements and
to stop the leakage of fats is to try
Sargol, the famous flesh building
agent that has been so widely sold in
America in recent years. Take a lit
tie Sargol tablet with every meal and
see if Your cheeks don't quickly fill
out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh
form over Your body. covering each
bony angle and projecting point. Bow
ditch & Webster and other good drug
gists have Sargol or can get it from
their wholesaler, and will refund your
money if you are not satisfied with the
gain in weight it produces as stated on
the guarantee in each large package.
1t is inexpensive, easy to take and
highly efficient
NOTE: -Sargol is recommended
only as flesh builder and while ex-
cellent results in cases of nervous in
digestion, etc, have been reported, care
should be taken about using it unless
gain of weight is desired.-Adv.

of the work. Asked concerning the
growth Of the movement, more partic-
ularly in the Maine field, Mr.. Shaw

lege men and women are showing an
increased and growing interest in the
activities Ct the intercollegiate Prohi-
bition Association and hence in the IL

today. Thus far I have visited Bates,
Colby, the University of Maine and
Bangor Seminary. and find in each
school 4 much larger number Of the
students than last year, who are ac-
lively engaged in the /. I. A. work
The league at Bates is the largest, so
far, having over 20 members among
the men and over 80 among the wo-
men.
The purpose of the I. p. A. is to
train the students Of the country for
| intelligent leadership in the anti-liquor
movement and has taken as its slo-
gan, Training for service-and then

Exceeding Appropriations
| Gov Curtis seems to have derived
great encoura cement in his campaign
against the exceeding of appropriations.
! from 2 letter written by Chief Justice
Savage. The Governor before reading
1 the letter explained that the auditor
| had called his attention 10 the fact that
| the supreme bench had exceeded its
appropriation by S33s.65 and feeling
that he should not appear to have any
| favorites in his warnings against ex-
! ceedInG appropriations, he wrote the
chief justice. The law provides that
! botn financial and penal satisfaction
may be mad by the State when a State
/ ofilclal exceeds an appropriation The
/ Governor smiled when ne made his
! explanation as if he might be enjoy
! ing an image Of justices of the supreme
/ bench being tried before themselves
/ for exceeding ar appropriation. The
| reply written by the chief justice

| ton and he evidently considers his
campaign TO stop excess expenditures
| hacked by the highest legal authority.
! Chief justice Savage in his letter, ex-
/ plans that the appropriation of slloo
I was sufhclent until a law was passed
allowing the justices additional reim-
/ bursement of expenses, which was not
! supplemented by an increase in tho
amount of the appropriation. He saws,
| however, that he believes the law
| against excess expenditures must be
! enforced and asks for no extra consjd-
Grafton for the supreme bench. This
! particular appropria ton is not made
( for direct expenditure but is a fund
TO reimburse justices for expenditures
i they have made. Chief Justice Savage
recommends that the $33S.65 which the
losuces are authorized by law to col
! lect from the State to reimurse Them
( selves, be paid out of q possible an
preparation to be made in the future
and that the expense be borne for tho
present by the justices.

A Real Storm.

Sunday afternoon about three
o'clock the skies that had threatened
all day, opened up and storm re-
seulted that was certainly rip
snorter.' Two and one-half inches
of ram fell in a very short time and
as this was accompanied by a high
wind, things looked pretty brisk for
little while. Not much damage
was done as far as we can learn !;
numerous branches were blown off
trees, the small grain and vegetables
were beaten down to the ground but
the farmers seem to think that very
little will be lost. A hay stack on
the THEODORE Meoska farm two miles
northeast of Potosi and destroyed.
Auto parties report blaze off toward
Platteville but no particulars could
be learned.
The lightning. rain and high wind
did a great deal of damage to the
Telephone and the Light and Power
Companies lines. Men were out at
daybreak repairing the damage and
by Monday night things were pretty
we'll back in shape again.
Auto parties who went out for a
holiday were severely drenched and
delayed in their return home. One
party which went fishing south of
Potosi, had the fishing spoiled and got
wet in the bargain. They made
Lancaster from Potosi inaford, F"
after the storm, in one hours time.
A barn belonging to Mrs. Harry
Gratz living about two miles east of
Sitter, in the Platte valley, was
struck by lightning and burned to the
ground. The stock and machinery
were removed but the hay was de-
stroyed. A hay barn on the Savage
farm about three miles south of Ell
lenboro was struck by lightning and
totally destroyed. Streams through
out the county overflowed their banks
and flooded the adjacent fields spoil
ing the crops.

New School for Patch Grove.

The contract for the erection of the
new school building in Joint district
5 and the town of Patch Grove, was
allotted to H. E. Owen of Muscoda
last Wednesday. The building will
when completed cost around $15, 600.
The plans call for a two story
brick structure, 5Ox60 feet. The
high school will occupy the second
floor and the lower floor will be used
by the grades. Mr.. Brown a recent
graduate of the college of agriculture
will be in charge of the school and
Miss Elva Dyer, of Lancaster and
Miss Myra Gee of Patch Grove, will
instruct the intermediate and primary
departments. Some of the modern
improvement will be drinking foun-
tains, shower baths and closets, large
recitation rooms, and a stage and
gymnasium in the basement. The
state land commission provided the
loan of the money necessary for the
work and the excavating will COM
mence about the first of next week.
The building will probably be complet.
ed by spring.

The Justice Court.

Justice C. W. Burrows held court
in the Sheriff's Office, last Thursday
afternoon, trying the case of Paris
versus Boom. The case was a civil
action brought by Dan Paris, a Greek,
against his former employer, Simon
Boom of Mt. Hope. Paris sued for
wages due for farm labor covering
two months and IA days, the total
amount of the claim being $45. SO.
Paris was represented by F. C. Meyer
and R. A. Watkins appeared for
Boom. A jury composed of Earl
Ivey, Fred Barnett, Theo. Wenzel,
Dustin Pierce, Clarence Suttle and
Glenn Hoffman, heard the case and
brought in verdict for the plaintiff
to the full amount of the claim. The
dispute arose over the question of
compensation, Paris claiming that he
was hired at salary of $25 a
month and Boom alleging that the
wage was to have been $18. Mr..
Boom brought in a counter claim of
SIC for washing, ironing and mend
ing, but this was ignored by the jury.
Edward Walker of Sinsinnawa
Mounds, was arraigned before Justice
C. w. Burrows Friday charged with
assault upon Barnard Font, Jr., of
that place. Welter pleaded guilty
and was fined $25 and costs.
Leon Rosemeyer, of Soldiers Grove,
Crawford Co., was arraigned Friday
on a criminal charge and the hearing
was set for Aug. II at l m. Bond
for 81, 900 was given by his father.

Boost For The Band.

At the meeting of the committee in
charge of the Platteville Booster S
reception the matter of having a per-
manent band in Lancaster was brought
up and discussed favorably. F. P. Bar
nett has since them written to Harry
Hazeleaf, who played here with the
Travers- Wick chautauqua band and Joe
Bullinger at Dyersville, Iowa, regard
ing the band leadership. There is
enough talent in the city to make two or
three good bands and with competent
director assured, we ought to have
concerts before the summer is over.
